 HARD AT WORK
Teams Gathered at Head quarters Listen to inspir- ing Talks from Leaders Expect to Add Largely to Funds

That ''2 per cent inspiration and 9S per cent. precipitation" are the neces- sary ingredients for successful campaign were the pertinent ex- pressions of the takers at the Young Women's Christian Association boost CT meeting held yesterday morning. | just prior to the departure of the i teams on their days work Miss Lillian E. James, field secretary for the district, made the remark, in her address to the leaders of the several committees which left immediately for their swork in the city.
 Miss James in an address on the reasons for the campaign drew out in striking manner the several reasons the girls and women who will make efforts in the next four days to raise s3000 should apply inwardly as in spiration for their work. The Y. W. has made good" said Miss James. I could see that as soon as I entered the city The spirit of fellowship which exists in the organization, the spirit which is shown in the younger members of the association demon- stration that it is for the young as well as the old, all point to the fact that the Y w. in Phoenix has made good
 l Further reasons for rejoicing in the chance to do good for the institution were that the campaign is not a money making scheme but the appli- cation of a need to a need, that the I for a future r. w., which will be inn possible without the additional funds, that the Y. w. is a democratic insti
 tuition, the only one of it's kind where the women meet each other on an equal footing. and that the raising of money at this time for this insti tuition is not only the raising of d benefit sum for self but one for the benefit and aid of friends and those close to present members.
 Mrs. E. N. Phillips, secretary of the organization, spoke on boosting spirit Hers was an optimism speech with smiles for all and the brightest kind of an outlook for the work at hand
 She reviewed the season past, em- lphasizing the campaign artillery
 which is in the history of the Phoe-
 nix Y w. C. A. and which the mem
 bers of the several teams were warned to digest and remember. Mrs. Phillips also stated that the Y. w..
 needed larger and more pretentious lquarters and that an attempt to se-
 cure them was one of the next moves of the association
 The several committees were then
 called together and given their in
 structions for the work they will
 conduct 'The leader is one who can
 start from nowhere with nothing. and
 end up somewhere with something,
 said Miss James, and the fact was
 severally impressed on the minds of
 those in command of the teams in
 the field
 . The first report of the committees
 in the field will be reported at the
 Y w. this afternoon at 4:30 when
 the teams will return to the quarters
 and give a full account of their sue Cesses At that time a thermometer
