Rector Tells men HOW
TO BECOME real men

Defining vocation as being a man
among men" and avocation as that
which distracts from this. as ones
business or other interests, the Rev A
Edwin Clattenburg. assistant rector OF
st. Johns p. r. Church. al the meeting
Of the Rotary Club today I'm the Hotel
DUPONT. drew picture Of what men
should be and how they should aim to
make the most Of themselves.
Mr. Clattenburg reversed the usually
accepted meaning of the two terms ant
explained that he believed his dis
tinction was supported by the fact that
business and interests apart from
those OF duty should constitute the
real pleasure OF ones life and that
outside OF these interests lay really
devotion to the higher duty OF living
ones life in common with others in
the best way.
The meeting which took the form OF
a luncheon talk, was well attended

NEW Y.W.C.A. HOME
ON THE present SITE
Association Takes Option
on Adjoining Buildingand
Orders Work Begun
OPEN THE BUILDING
CAMPAIGN MAY %

At a special meeting of the Board
OF Directors Of the Young Women's
Christian Association this morning II
was decided to retain the present
property at Nos. 9O4-9OS King
street. and to secure the prop
erty at No go King street on
which the directors have been given
an option. The new association
building will consequently be built
on the old property site. The old
building will be torn down as will
also the property now standing at
No. 9l0 King street. The entire build
ing lot, including the new lot will be
81 by 40 feet. The price OF the
property at No. go was not made
public.
z. Candy May, the we'll known
architect. has been chosen as the
building architect. The plans will be
Of a modern freproof and strictly
up to date building. Mr.. May will be-
gin his work at once.
The new building will be a splen-
did example of what a modern Y. w.
c. A. building should be- It will con-
tain dormitories for approximately 100
girls, a modern gymnasium and swim
ming pool, club class room, a modern
cafeteria for both business men and
women, an exchange, rest room and
IL is hoped a roof garden. Just how
many stories the new building will
be has not yet been determined but
the building will probably be built
with an idea of allowing for growth
and increased activities.
The meeting this morning was spe-
cially called to consider the report Of
the meeting of the advisory board, and
the property and building committees
which was held at the association
building yesterday afternoon.
The decision to rebuild on their
present property was reached by the
board Of directors only after long and
careful consideration of the wisdom
of such. several other properties in
the city having been considered at
first The main objection TO the pres
ent property was that II was not a
corner lot and the board seemed to
feel that owing to the fact that the
new building would be a combination
building, that Is an administration and
association building together, there
should be two entrances to the build
ing. This objection. however. was
overcome in lieu of the fact that the
location Of the present building in the
heart of the business district, was
ideal and desirable. With only the In
tervention Of two lots between. tho
new association building will extend
from the Miller Brothers building tC
the Odd Fellows Building.
NJ. c. Williams the official campaigl
director. who will conduct the Y. W
c. A. building campaign here. will ar
rive i'm this city on May 20. The cam
palgn will be officially opened on Mon
day night. May 29 with a dinner at tn

president of the National Y w. c. A
will be the guest Of honor and pr'n
cipal speaker The teams and thei
captains will be appointed betweel
now and the opening Of the campaign
which will close on June T. Much in
terest is being manifested in the ap
preaching campaign and it is though
that the hearty support Of all Whining
tonians will be given it,

NEW ULM GIRL TAKES PART
IN PRECAUTIONARY.

The tercentenary of Shakespeare's death
was the occasion for magnificent
pageant in Milwaukee last week. More
than 800 performers took part in a series
of tableaux, pantomimes, and process
sions. The best of artistic and dramatic
skill worked together and made it appear
like far-hung enchanted tapestry on
which were woven three pictures Of
Shakespeare's life, and scenes from nine
of his plays, Henry V. Midsummer
Nights Dream, Merchant of Venice,
Twelfth Night, Julius Caesar, Hamlet,
Macbeth, AS you like 1t, Tempest.
A New Ulm girl, Miss Esther Rein,
took part in the casket scene from the
Merchant of Venice. Miss REIN who
graduated from the New Ulm High
School last year, is now a student in the
National German-American Teachers
Seminary, normal school that has
gained national reputation for training
teachers of German.
The Evening Wisconsin comments
thus: 'Then appeared the stateliness
and color of Venice in her prime, when
the prince of Morocco and his train, the
prince of Arragon and his followers, the
good Bassanio and his friends, all came
wooing the fair Portia. The stage was
filled with marvel Of color, and the
scene was given in eloquent pantomime
by fifty students of the National Ger
man-American Teachers Seminary. For
richness of understanding humor and for
dizziness of presentation this was ex-
ceeded by no other group"

Otto Oswald of the New Ulm Steam
Laundry is seriously considering new
departure in the dry cleaning line by
providing waiting room in his estab-
lishment for people who want their
suits cleaned in hurry. The idea came
to him as the result of an experiment made
upon an unsuspecting newspaperman
last week to whom he made the propo-
sition of cleaning his suit before break
fast. The cleaner made good, delivering
the suit cleaned, pressed and packed
within an hour and thirty minutes after
it had been taken from the house. The
best part of the transaction, from the
standpoint of the newspaperman, was
that he received a receipted bill for the
Job in the mornings mail.
