shape when the contest opens to-mor.
row morning. The memorable mem
bership campaign of 1912 was so salts
factory that the competing cities have
entered keenly into another great
inter-city contest. This campaign is
a part of big country wide move
ment to enhance the value of the
Association Brotherhood, and to Sc
cure for North America, within three
years, one million Y. NJ. G. A. mem
bers.
Racine, new city in the contest
this year, with La Crosse, Eau Claire,
Fond du Lac and Wausau, the winner
of last years contest, offers list of
live, huStling communities that sug-
gests the possibilities of a battle
royal. The contest is not over which
city is the best to live in, or has the
most population, or the best "Y, "
but which one has most city loyalty
and can produce the best bunch oflive
wire boosters. Last year Wausau won
the contest and the big silver trophy
cup which is on exhibition at the Ma
tional German American bank, that
means that this year it is Wausau
against the field. But there is one big
asset in our favor and that is the
"Waasau Spirit" It's the thing that
wins. 1t won last year and will this.
To see which city can secure the larg-
est total membership in the time
limit is the goal. That there may be
uniformity and fair basis of COM
petetion the five cities agree to accept
the following rules:
Rule l. The contest to be on the
basis of total members secured with
out regard to the size of the city.
Rule 2. Only membership paid for
in cash or bankable notes t. count in
the contest.
Rule 3. All classes of memberships
to count on an even basis.
Rule 4. No memberships to be
counted if received after $50 D. M,
October 18th.
Rule 5. Cities to telegraph returns
to Wausau each night at $50, Wausau
to compile and return complete re-
suits.
Rule 6. A suitable and permanent
trophy to be awarded the winning
city.
That nothing may be left undone to
make WauSau the winner again this
| year w. II. Chellis has been elected
the general manager of the local cam
paign, which takes the form of the
automobile race as explained last week.
The four captains, c. A. Cowee for
the Chalmers; A. G. Schmidt for the
Maxwell; Emmer Lampert for the
Ford and Geo. Robicheau for the
Cadillac, have been lining things up
within their ranks and already the
fellows are at work so that they will
be under full speed as they cross the
wire at the start.

Hon. and When, Should Woman Escort Take Her Arm:
ATLANTA STREET ETIQUETTE CRITICISED
Some Girls Want No Help in
Crowded Streets, Others
Demand Attention.

Do Atlanta men take a wcman's arm
correctly on the street; should a man
take woman's arm on the street any
way, or should woman cling to the
masculine right; should there be any
taking or clinging at all and if So does
Atlanta do it right?
Somebody asked this puzzling query
recently, but nobody seems to be quite
certain Of the original propounder. At
any rate, it was shot up into the air
and landed all over Young Atlanta.
especially young male Atlanta, is in
turmoil as a result.
There absolutely is no unanimity o.
opinion ON the subject. and there seem
TO be as many opinions as there are
arms to take. 1t is quite as bewilder-
ing to select a solution as it is an arm.
Some Favor No Arm Taking.
There are those who favor no arm
taking at all save in the event OF the
frequent puddle meeting the narrow
skirt. Others, brute men. think a
woman should do the clinging act

Drawn. The punctilious man and the

the idea of edging their respective
divinities along the right side Of the
sidewalk with their own gloved fingers
as the steering gear.
1t is a big question, as those who have
wrestled with it are today willing to
admit
One mckless theorizer. who is no
nearer an answer now than when he
first heard the tantalizing interroga-
ton, said:

days when etiquette, street and room,
was ruled by a rigid code and could be

Actress Gives Her Views.
Then there are those who have de-
cided views, and these are women. The
brisk young woman seems to have less
trouble in answering the query than any
other type. She favors no arm taking
at all. and there are those of the mas
culine sex who insist cynically that
she has the right idea, at least from
her standpoint
Miss Ray Cox, who is appearing at
the Grand this week. has had a chance
to witness arm-taking and arm-cling-
ing the world round. She says there is
no rule nowadays
~ don't think Atlanta men deserve
the accusation l heard made against
them recently. They are no more
awkward in taking a woman's arm
than any man in taking woman's arm
anywhere.
1T is my opinion that taking wom-
ans arm on the street is a masculine
function which men do indifferently
and in sort Of shambling, shifty man
ner at the best. Few do it prettily,
but Atlanta men are as clever as the
men of other cities"
Miss Cox said that she didn't overly
relish the idea of a man lacking to her
arm every time she tried to take a
step. especially in a narrow skirt. She
asserted that woman in such pre-
dicament had to keep her mind on her
skirt.
W. c. Patterson, Of the Grand the
alter, with whom punctiliousness is as
natural as appetite, rather likes the
idea of escorting girl by the arm. He
admits, however. that the thing is just
a matter of taste and says he doesn't
believe that it is any more important
than the shape Of collar.
Miss Cox and Mr.. Patterson tried
the matter out thoroughly today before
a camera, so that little part of At
lanta that hadn't been specializing on
the question could get an idea of what
it was about, and Atlantans VINO
strictly favor a single method could
see themselves as others see them.
Nobody seems to think Atlanta is
less polite in this matter than other
cities, but there are those who argue,
rather reasonably, that Atlanta men
could dispense with the abominable and
objectionable habit OF smoking on the
streets in the company Of women and
gain tone.
