Young-age PENSIONS! Why not? IT,
ties. honors, riches, pensions and most
other good things are, as rule, post
poned to a period of life when the Ca
pacity for enjoying them has been

first countries to adopt old-age PEN
sions, and now labor member of the
commonwealth parliament proposes a
complementary scheme of young-age
pensions. He would start by pension

that three had previously been horn

Dance Enjoyable Affair.

The University club dance was one
of the most enjoyable affairs that the
club has ever held. The dance was
held in the club ballroom last night and
in the neighborhood of thirty couples
were present.
The music was provided by Elsner
and it seemed to be the consensus of
opinion that it was the best dance nnu-
sic that has been heard in some time.
At 8 o'clock the programs were pass
ed around and the dancing continued
until 1 o'clock. Punch was served in
the main clubroom and was very cx-
cellenr
Chairman Joseph Sontag and his
committee were complimented by those
present on the success OF the affair.
Among the variations from the usual
program was a ladies choice, compe-
NY barred.
Among those from out of town. or
who were home for the spring school
vacations were: Miss Belle Peterson OF
Crown Point; Julius Meyn. Charles c.
Deming of Martinsville. and Charles w
Wilson of Indianapolis.
