TIRED BRAINS SHAMPOOED
Twilight Club Hears Hopeful
Talk from Mr.. Wright.

The Twilight Club was busy again last
night on the problem OF civic righteous

welfare and had its best minds on the joD
There was the man who makes little AMI
mails out OF bread crumbs TO the delight
of the women, VINO simply adore them.
There also was the man who always comes
in a check suit. with doubie-breasted waist

swa!lowtails There likewise was the
woman with the Partisan gown, who al
ways laughs out when something extra
deep is said and asks her neighbor with
a perplexed look What did he say?" when
all tho rest laugh and she doesn't. And
there was the little president, who walks
amcng the tables making his speech as he
goes.
He finally Yielded the main talking stunt

the discussion in proper highbrow channels
by explaining that the church should be
"coterminus With secular society" or why
Are Not the Churches More Active in

this meant why Don't the Churches De-
