A well-known doctor, living in a
Southern city has grea; difficulty in
remembering the names of his pa
tlents and often gets into anembar-
RAISING predicament
One day lady brought her little
boy to see the doctor. The doctor
greeted the lady very cordially, for
he knew her we'll. but for the life of
him he could not recall her name.
He examined the boy and started to
write prescription.
Nol wishing the lady to know his
dilemma he said: "Er-do you spell
your name with Or i?'
The lady was somewhat surpris-
ed at this and said: Why, doctor,
my name is Hill, HILL"

New York.-A general strike on vir-

through the good offices of President

after the men had been in secret

Threat Of Women to Psfuse to Recoa-

London.-The decision OF the cabi.
net that the undertaking Of new fran
cnise and registration reforms in the
midst of great war was too complex
and controversial problem was an
nounced by Premier Asquith In the
house Of commons on Monday. At a
time, said the premier. when the war
had reached a happy, promising stage
ana when It more than ever required
the absolute concentration OF the gov
eminent, 1t was impossible to consider
the large questions involved In a re-
vision of the franchise. He further
implied that any new bill for fran
chise reforms in the future must Of
necessity include women.
After a brief criticism by Sir Ed
ward Carson, who urged that every
combatant, irrespective Of age, was
entitled to vote and commended there
was no reason why the women's
claims should stand in the way Of
giving all combatants vote, the house
passed the first reading of the bill ex-
tending the life of the present parlia-
ment for eight months. A separate
Dill bringing into force a new regis
ter on the basis of present qualifica-
tons on May q next will be intro
duced in the house.
There is no doubt that one Of the
main reasons for the governments
avoidance Of the franchise problem
was the threat OF the women that
they would refuse to recognize any
change In the franchise in favor of
fighting men which failed at the same
time to recognize women's rights to
the franchise.

dent OF the University of Utah. Sep
TENDER 10, 1916, the doors of the col
lege open for the twenty-seventh
year of its existence. These two facts
make it important that the people OF
this state be furnished with state
ment of the aims and ideals of the
great Industrial school, the Utah Ag-
ricultural College.
Education today means that men
and women be educated to think and
trained to do. The people of Utah de-
mand that their sons and daughters
receive, during their school career, an
appreciation of the worth while things
in life, and they demand, just as per-
sistently, that their sons and daugh-
ters receive training that will en-.
able them to do the necessary work
OF the world in a creditahle manner.
When education combines these two
Ideals, culture and training, it is
tremendous power for social advance
ment.
The Utah Agricultural College has
combined these two ideals. The
work of the institution is so arranged
that all of its students receive the
cultural advancement SO necessary to.
our present society. At the same,
time they are being trained in their
chosen field for life of service.
