Y.M. C. A. NOTES

The building will be open to the gen.
eral public tonight for inspection. In
addition to the formal "look around"
the secretary will inform you that
there will be an appropriate concert in
the auditorium for the entertainment
of the guests. Although there was a
big crowd at the building last Friday
night, 1t Is expected that tonight S
crowd will outnumber 1t. Everybody is
invited. Bring your mother, your wife,
your sister and-well. bring her any
way.
1t took less than three minutes yes
terday for Assistant Secretary Quillian
to challenge Assistant Secretary Willis
to bowling match. Needless to say,
perhaps, that the challenge was accept
ed as soon as the latter secretary
could recover from the surprise that
was caused when he saw that Mister
Quillian had used ordinary paper in
issuing the challenge. The fact is that
the paper was yellow. The match will
be bowled as soon as the alleys are
opened, which will be not later than
Saturday. Graham wishes to challenge
the winner, and Price wants to chal-
lenge Graham anyway. Secretary Luz
ther is holding back, and evidently will
challenge the whole bunch.

night 1t Is interesting, and London by

doors when DIR. Davidson Buchanan de-

lecture was pleasing to the extreme.
1t confused some; they thought he
was eloquent, when in fact he was only
sincere, and in being sincere he added
touch of familiarity an Intangible

SAYS NATIONAL BODY BETTER
THAN SEPARATE COMMISSION
President of the Rock island Would
Abolish State Railroad Regular
tIons in Favor of Interstate v
Organization

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 24.-Presi-
dent Winchell of the Rock Island rail-
road in an interview here declared
that he was in favor of an interstate
commerce commission having jur1sdic-
States, and he was in favor of abolish
ing the state commissions, for no two
states have the same regulations.
This has caused extreme annoyance
to the railroads and affected their cred
it, while the shipper and consumer are
bewildered by the maze of laws that
the commission has put into effect.
A federal commission, with full pow
er, would clear the air of all uncer-
tainty, and work with the same satis-
faction of other federal departments.
