BETWEEN Two fires
IF WOMAN WON'T SHE WON'T,
YOU MAY DEPEND ONT
Difference Of Opinion Between the
Males and the Females Of the
Committee

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept 2S--When the
reception Of the boys of Company X of the
Seventh was broached many weeks ago a
central committee was formed to take
charge of the celebration, and that COM
mittee appointed several subcommittee
for different branches of the work. The
committee on banquet contained q major
ity of the ladies' and after canvass.ng the
situation thoroughly the latter decided
they would not have a public monster
banquet at the pavilion on improvised ta-
bles and a hand-me-down style of food,
but give the company a genuine banquet
not feed-ln the dining room of a hotel
When the men on the committee objected,
the ladies voted them down and carried
the day. Then came the call yesterday
afternoon for the whole committee to met
! and hear reports of the subcommittee
This was packed with men and but four
ladies were present, and the report was
received and promptly voted down, and
the ladies ordered to go ahead with the
banquet as first proposed by the lords of
creation. The poet who wrote,
''If woman WILL she will, you may depend
ont;
And II she won't, she won't, and that's the
end ont,
knew just what he was writing about
and If the men wish "bow- -out" at the
pavilion as proposed they will have to
take charge of the whole Shooting
match"
