failure and political chaos, the gov
ernment of the United States stands
firm and unshakable. Although we
have made great progress in de-
mocracy, we are not out of the peril |
zone. Many men are willing to die
for their country but not to live
strongly for It, The true citizen is |
the one who has discovered how to
live for patriotism"
Around the subject of Optimism"
Miss Blanche Paschall wove some
good thoughts. 'As race we are
optimists," declared the speaker I'VE
believe the world is good place In
which to live and are busy crowd
ing all possible pleasure into our al
loted time. True, the optimist has
many heartaches, but he Is always
keeping an eye on the sunshine that
trails the storm. Who can dwell in
the shadows when confronted by the
rising sun, the myriad bird voices
calling from the cool of the wind
swayed branches to the burning hills
end dales of mellihuent nature. Be
optimistic Some men of today are
as good as the men of the good old
DAYS. Throw the spotlight on the
good of the times and avoid the dark
ness by dsregarding 1t. Thus you
will help to make us nation of OPP
| itmists."
Miss Carmen Blow, one of the most
gifted vocalists in the city, contributed
an artistic phase of learning by sing
| ing "The Lass With the Delicate Air"
| n tripping airy number which called
| forth an insistent encore.
Oswald Wollenweber voiced
European problem in his address
| ENGLAND Against Germany" Mr.
| Wollenweber said: 1--WE live in an
| age of peace amidst wars and rumors
of wars. That the peace spirit is not
universal is proven by the unrest In
| South America. Nor can we bask In
| the sunshine of peace with the gi-
| gantic war cloud lowering over Eu-
rope growing in dimension day by
| day. The center of the storm Is Eng
land and Germany. One needs only
| to sound the well of popular opinion
in the small towns of these countries
to get the true trend of events. King
| George and Emperor William would
be powerless to stem the avalanche OF
patriotic fervor once II springs into
1
arguments, there is destined to be a
struggle here that shall change the
map of Europe and paralize the civil
lied world"
f"Money: A Blessing and Curse
was the theme exploited by Miss Cleo
Lunger. Under this caption Miss
: Lunger designated money honestly
earned and judicially spent as bless
