crowded that new quarters have been
obtained. The interest in the move
ment for woman suffrage is growing
rapidly and this club is preparing for
strenuous work. Many of the strong
est men of all parties are expressing
their sympathy and interest in the
movement and viii take a stand for it

PRAISES THE 'JOLLYUP'
FOR FRIGHTENING LIFE
A. G. Paul Delivers Interesting
Address at Federation
Club Luncheon

"JolIy1p is a means-a man may be
discouraged and when this jollyup is
brought to bear on his mind 1t WINS
him over to better and brighter pros
poets of life. 1t devepols much with
Intensity of purpose" declared A. Z.
Paul. secretary to John Willis Baer,
president of Occidental college, at the
Federation club luncheon yesterday.
His subject was "The Value of the
Jollyup in Life" He said in part:
THE colleges are overtioWing with
iollyups, banquets and receptions.
When a student first enters the col
lege he begins with the elements or
greeting and good cheer leading up
to the various characteristics of the
educational methods of the institution.
With all the other departments the
one that appeals the most to the stu
dent is that of the athletic. 1t en-
braces much for the good of the body
and mind and therefore marks the
way for good results.
1.-The nation acknowledges the jolly
up characteristics. The political arena
is full of it. We find it more pre-
valent in the lobbies than in the con-
vention. 1t comes in contact with the
leaders of all political and other prob
lens of the age in which we live. 1t Is
great element to Danish discourage
ment and to fill the mind with the
brightest side of life.
lone great drawback is that too
many who might be active, intelligent
people assume low standard in the
achievements before them. To my mind
all should aim high with the ideal of
reaching the point of ascendency
marked out. This can be more easily
attained by the aid of our jollyup
proposition with our ideals fixed above
the average.
"The Federation club is a great fac
tor in accomplishing the many develop
ments for the good of the citizens of
Los Angeles and vicinity 1t is being
closely watched by good government
workers throughout the country be-
cause it is the leader in the fight for
civic decency."
