they always came out all right, But
times have changed, and plans and
methods must alter with them.
For the 1916 Olympies a much
larger team will be sent from our
shores than ever before. They will
be sent sooner and win stay longer;
and there will be more trainers and
coaches to accompany and work
with them. All this means a much
larger expense list than heretofore.
and if we are TO carry present plans
through we will have to make an
carly start to make sure Of the ac-
emulation of the wherewithal
The executive affairs Of the team
will be in the hands of a committee
of 121. representing all sections of
the country Some sixty prominent
individuals will be asked to act as
vice presidents, including our Min
lister to Germany and Germany's
Minister at Washington This is a
nice courtesy for our A. A. T. Off
Gals to extend to the German Am
hassador, and one that will bear good
fruit, II should result in a better
show Of friendliness from the Ger
mans toward our athletes than has
sometimes been our portion in the
past
A special committee of 81 men,
bers, under the Craftsmanship of Mr..
j. E. Sullivan, will have in charge
the selection of the team This com
mittee numbers within its ranks the
foremost track trainers and officials
of the country, and is entirely COM
petent to insure that our very best
performers will be selected.
The plan proposed, of asking all
the members of athletic clubs, of
colleges and school teams to con
tribute what amount they can each
month for year TO the general
fund is an excellent one, and would
have the result of making every
youthful contributor take a direct in
terest in the team and feel that he
had some share, no matter how
slight, in its work and progress. I
am satisfied that every Southern
college and school boy would be glad
to pledge himself to give the month.

means, and would feel sighted if he

Mrs. George +. French of Portland
Delivers Address Before Local Club
Women

Skowhegan club women spent an
enjoyable evening Monday when
Sorosis was hostess to the members
of the Town Improvement Society and
the Woman's Club. There was a
large attendance and the leading fea-
ture of the evening was an address by
A delightful and convincing speaker,
Mrs. French entertained her listeners
for about one hour, the theme of her
address being Things Worth While.
She mentioned that as the pages of
history are turned back, it is notice.
able that the people are dreaming of
ideals. She then dwelt for a time
upon ideals, mentioning especially
the energies put forth at the present
time by the parents to better equip
their children with knowledge than
they themselves have been. Another
work that a million and a half of
club women are doing. mentioning that
the clubs were first formed for self
Improvement. Later came mutual
Improvement and lastly civic improve
ment. She also told of the resolu-
tions passed at the general Federation
and of the unanimous vote at that ses-
sion for the eradication of the liquor
traffic. In view of the approaching
Christmas season, Mrs. French asked
that the spirit of the Master be
spread abroad in every land as never
before and urged hat the Christmas
of 1914 be the best ever.
At the conclusion of the address,
Mrs. Dora T. Nye played Itch Liche
Dieh" by Grieg, with an encore, after
which several young club women serv-
ed ices and waters under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Bertha Holt.
During the reception piano num-
bers were played by the Misses Doro-
thy Day, Helen Merriam, Airline Burn
or, Ella Flanders and Helen Day, the
receiving line being composed of Miss
Clara B. Varney, vice president of
Sorosis. Mrs. Lois w. Patten, Mrs.
Martha Griffin and Mrs. Mabel w.
Philbrick. Miss Edith Gledhill
gracefully presided over the assem-
blage and the arrangements for the
affair were directed by Mrs. Vivian
G. Woodbury..
