easion few were more fitting and beau
tiful than that Of the Dallas News,
which In part was as follows:
"Let anyone manifest genuine love
for those about him, showing sym
oathy in their sorrows, tenderness in
heir sufferings, encouragement in
heir disappointments and loving kind
less in their hours of trouble, and they
will as naturally love him and be at
racted toward him as the needle to-
ward the pole. Since Mother posses
es in greater degree the love which
auses these beautiful traits to be
nost in evidence. it is plainly to be
cen why she is held up higher in the
steem Of humanity than all others.
"The mother love which impels these
eeds of helpfulness to humanity is
he same love which gives her courage.

No wonder the deficit grows. It is not surprising that

COLLEGE WOMEN OBJECT.

< yAssAR students have abolished the custom Of
" choosing "a sophomores to carry the daisy chain
as a feature of the senior class day exercises on
the ground that it had resolved itself into a "'beauty
contest"
much publicity given to the value men place on the
physical beauty of women. 1t is promoted by. sex liter
ature, musical comedies, pretty girl covers on magazines
and juvenile fashions in dress.
Women ought to combine to stop it. 1t is time for
college girls, and for all educated women to Withdraw
from this kind of competition.
"It was not jealousy which destroyed vassar's lovely
daisy chain, as the ~facetious intimate. 1t was that kind
of advertising which puts college beauties on the same
level with the professional beauties of the chorus and
ballet, which reduces the Daisy Chalmers to an equal
fame with the Florodora girls.
"If any women ought to resent valuation for physical
qualities only, 1t is college girls. Vassar girls have set
the example. Probably the girls Of many other instttu-
lions will follow"
