GIVE $500 MORE
Woman's "Rotary'' Club Makes WASH
burn Pledge of $1,000.

The Woman's Rotary club, which
pledged $500 to the Washburn college
fund at a previous meeting, doubled
that pledge today at their business
meeting in connection with the BIZ
weekly luncheon of the organization.
Mrs. June Chapman addressed the
club on the subject of increasing the
gift to Washburn. Mrs. Helen Fran
els and Mrs. o. L. Peak spoke on the
subject. Mrs. Peak suggested that If
the pledge was increased to $1,000, the
club should ask that it be a scholar
ship fund. carrying with it the right
of the club to name a candidate for
the scholarship every four years. Mrs
P. P. Womer, wife of the president of
Washburn, and member of the ways
and means committee for the liquida
ton of the pledge, assured the club
that such an arrangement could be
made. Whereupon the members de-
cided unanimously to make their gift
to the college, $1,000.
A discussion of the plan for hold
ing a sale of needlework. fancy work,
art and craft work, ETC., was held.
The idea of the Civic committee of the
club is to provide a market for the
work of women in the city who have
articles to sell, but cannot afford to
advertise it extensively or to rent
space for it's exhibit The members of
the club or any other woman in To-
peka is entitled to enter work for the
sale.
The new members of the club are:
Miss Mary Harrison, representing
schools: Mrs. Grace N. Reese, corset
Ter, and Miss Lulu Kelley druggist

INSPECT DEUTSCHLAND
Naval Officer Investigates Character
of U-boat ''to Make Sure

,,.. Washington, Nov. This govern
ment will take little official cognizance
of the arrival of the German subma-
rlne freighter Deutschland, it was in
Dictated today. Beyond assuring that
the vessel has not changed her char
acter from that revealed to naval en-
gineers when they examined her in
Baltimore on her first arrival, it is be-
lieved the government will give her
the minimum of official attention
She will be treated as an ordinary ship
of commcrce-which is the status al
ready given her.
1t is anticipated that the British am
bassador will renew England's protest
against the admission of the Deutsch-
land on equal terms with other mer-
chant ships.
Officially the Deutschland will be
considered as a new case, it was said
at the state department, and the pre-
cautions taken in July to assure her
peaceful character will be repeated.

BIG Y. M. C. A: PARTY
Two Thousand Persons Attended Hal
loween Festivities.

The largest crowd that the Central
Y. M. c. A. has ever entertained filled
the building last night for the much
heralded Halloween party. 1t was esti-
mated that nearly 1000 people were
present some time or other during the
evening.
Such attractions as the Ferry over
the River Styx," and I'm the Land of
Spirits were as crowded as a Deem
Der soup line in New York. One of
the most successful hoaxes was in the
entrance to the basement, Hobgob-
Inns cave" By an ingenious arrange
ment of lights and scenery it was made
to appear that the stairway had been
shortened leaving a jump-off of some
fifteen feet. The passage over the
Rolling Waves" a denatured version
of the '.Witching Waves" was also up
roariously received. The success of
the Halloween festival has induced
Secretary Hoyes to makes the affair
an annual one.

Marco of Wasserman Bros, brokers.

far as being quiet and heavy" With
the emphasis on both the quiet and
heavy.
"At the outset" he said, 1.-The bettors
were so sure of Hughes's election that
they were willing to offer almost any
odds. For that reason they were CIV
ing 2 " to 1, to 1, for quite a while.
Then Wilson money became more
plentiful and a lot of folks, especially
the little fellows, got scared and
hedged. That made the odds shift
around until they got to even money.
Now they've hedged by betting on
Wilson, the odds are shifting again.
All the bets are not getting into the
papers. either. 1 know of one bet of
$4,000 on Hughes
Much is heard about betting this
year but Marco, who is reputed to
know the betting game from the
ground up, says it's no more open than
in previous campaigns.

Prof. Muensterberg Describes
Wilson, Hughes and L. 'R.
They Are All of a New Fash
toned Variety, Too.
ALL SELF-CONSCIOUS men
Wilson Is Distinctively OF the
Lyric Temperament.
Roosevelt Is of the Dramatic;
Hughes of the Epic.

New York, Nov. Three men,
prominent in the political sky, wilson,
Hughes and Roosevelt. They differ
widely but all three are new fashioned
idealists. They show clearly different
types of self-consciousness; that OF
Wilson is lyric, that of Roosevelt ara
matte, that of Hughes epic.
Prof Hugo Muenstrberg thus in
troduces a remarkable analysis OF the
men and issues in the present presl-
Dental campaign in his new book 10
morrow" which appears TO-DAY. h ere
with is presented exclusively the first
resume of the Harvard psychologists
new work His analysis of the three
great American political leaders IS
contained in the chapter 'Ideallsm IN
America" He continues:
Wilson is always contemplating; ne
settles the problems for himself by
finding a we'll balanced formulation;
ne reflects on his own feelings; he
likes to speak about his mental pains,
his joys, his moods. His aim is social
peace, international peace, harmony,
and that is beauty.
RooseVelt's Aims.
: roosevelt aims toward quick and
Surprising action; his thought is po-
rental energy: his life element is the
-conflict with the beasts or with men.
with parties or with nations.
Hughes aims toward the earnest
fulfilment of the tasks persistently
BARRED thru against difficulties. Meth
er the feelings nor the impulses are
paramount in him, but the deliberate
decision of the mind.
) Both Wilson and Roosevelt long
FOR the public, as both must be in the
center in order to give their best.
1.-The strength of Hughes lies in his
consciousness in presence of the audi
5ence.
Every true epic here stands alone.
"A lyric mind needs the admiring APP
iproval of it's followers. A dramatic
lnind needs the powerful effect on
ahem; the epic mind distrusts both the
tpraise and the hypnotic faith and pre-
fers the GOODNESS of a sober routine
relation.
Hughes the Strongest.
Real opposition makes the lyric
temperament nervous. the dramatic
Rngry, but the epic strong"

NEED $4,000 NOW
Washburn's 100000 Fund Is
Nearly Completed.
No Letup Until Entire Amount
Is Pledged.

The Washburn college endowment
campaign needs $4,000 more to CON-
plete the Topeka share of the endow-
ment. This was the report OF the
workers at the MONDAY rally today
when a total of $1,455 was turned in
as the result of the work since Satur-
day noon. There will be no more
nooday rallies for the workers but uhe
campaign will go right ahead until the
job is entirely completed.
Hereafter the workers will make
their daily reports to the Washburn
office and turn in the pledge cards. In
this way the college will be in constant
touch with the campaign and as soon
as the subscriptions are of sufficient
amount to meet the Topeka section.
President Womer will make the an
nouncement and then start on the
state campaign to raise the balance of
the required Kansas endowment
necessary to secure the endowment
from the Rockefeller Foundation.
There are now more than four thou
sand subscribers to the Washburn en-
dowment. This is believed to be a
larger number of subscribers than any
college of similar size or with a SINH
lar endowment fund in the country
Knox college, which raised a similar
amount to that of Washburn, secured
1t with twelve hundred subscriptions.
This means an unusually large num-
DeT OF people interested IN WaSnDurn
in Topeka and outside the city.
There are a considerable number of
prospective pledges yet to be secured
in the campaign. This is due to
numerous friends of Washburn being
out of the city and the necessity of
some business houses to consult part
ners who live in other cities These
pledges will all be cleaned up during
the next week or ten days and then it
is expected that only a sman amount
of the sixty thousand dollars will have
to be raised
