University Functions.

What is the matter with our univer-
sites is that all the students are
schoolboys, whereas it is of the very
essence of university education that
they should be men, writes George
Bernard Shaw. The function of uni
versity is not to teach things that can
now be taught as well or better by
university extension lecturers or by
private tutors or modern correspond
ence classes with gramophones. We

sure which effects these changes
should be that of persons who have
faced the full responsibilities Of adults
as working members Of the general
community, not that Of barbarous rab-

President Wilson Asks All Between
Ages Of Sixteen and Twenty-One
to Join Working Reserve.

Young men of the country between
the ages of sixteen and twenty-one, not
now employed, are called upon by
President Wilson to serve the nation
by joining the United States Boys
Working reserve. In a letter made
public by Secretary Wilson of the la
Dor department, the president says 1t
is the patriotic duty of these young
men to use their spare time in produc-
tive work and help support the nation
in the present Crisis. The presidents
letter follows:
Permit me to express my great ap-
probation Of the great work underta-
ken by the United States Boys Work
ing reserve Of the employment service
of the department Of labor. To give to
the young men between the ages of six
teen and twenty-one the privilege Of
spending their spare time in productive
enterprises without interrupting their
studies at school, while their older
brothers are battling in the trenches
and on the seas, must greatly increase
the means of providing for the forces

thOes whose services are needed here.
1t Is a high privilege, no less than
patriotic duty, to help support the ma
ton by devoted and intelligent work in
this great crisis.
'Let me express the hope that the
young men Of the country not now per-
manently employed may eagerly enter
the Boys Working reserve to fit them
selves by training and study for good
citizenship and productive service. In
this way they can show themselves
worthy of patriotic fathers who have
fought for democracy in the past. sus-
tain their patriotic brothers who are
fghting for it today, and command the
affectionate pride of the brave mothers
who are silently bearing the burdens

WESTERN GIRL IS
A GREAT ATHLETE.
Qualified to Compete for All
Round H0n0rS.
WIZARD At PLAYING TENNIS
Also Stars at Baseball, Basket Ball,
Tackey and FootbaII-Perform-
rnces In Many Lines of Sport
Brand Her as Marvel.

On the Pacific coast they say that
Miss Mayme Mcdonald is the greatest
woman athlete in the United States.
That Is some title; still a glance at the
record of the young woman leads one
TO believe that she has an excellent
claim to the honor.
Miss Mcdonald is a student at the
University of Washington, and her
performance in q dozen branches Of
sport brand her as an athletic mar
vel. Tipping the scales at a bare 115
pounds, she has established herself as
the best all-round girl athlete ever de-
veloped in the Northwest.
Won Tennis Finals.
The Seattle miss won the finals of
the Northwest tennis championships at
Tacoma recently, and yet tennis is but
small part of the athletic life Of the
university champion. Miss Mcdonald
has yet to try her skill at any sport
In which she cannot shatter some
kind Of record. She is wizard at
the net game, but also stars at base
ball, basketball, hockey, track and
she admitted rather bashfully-foot-
ball.
Miss Mcdonald holds so many rec
ords at the University of Washington
that she does not remember them all.
She started in to win "W'S" in her
freshman year, and has been doing it
ever since. She was the first freshman
to win numeral and started in break
ing records right and left before ad-
vancing to her second year.
The Seattle girl can take a regu-
lation league baseball and with a regu-
lar Hank Gowdy windup can send the
horseshoe on a journey of some 100
feet. Recently she donned her track
togs and, while Washington Track
Coach Wander Veer held the watch, she
stepped off 100 yards in II seconds
fiat. She hung up a mark in the So
yard hurdles of 81a seconds; can send
the eight-pound shot 81 feet, and throw
the javelin 85 yards.
Football Has No Terrors.
Miss Mcdonald can take q hockey
oIlSh anu LiSLdS uoWu TIC ICC Iho
Hobey Baker. She can shoot ringer
with the basketball five times out of
ten, and hits 300 on the baseball team.
She swims, dives, hunts and fishes.
The football field has no terrOrs for
this young Seattle girl, and she can
boot the pigskin for a perfect spiral.
II began to play baseball and the
rest of the things" explains Miss Nc
Donald, "when 1 was old enough to
walk. l took part in every kind of
athletics with the youngsters on the
back lots, and they came so natural
with me that 1 just kept right on. I
liked nothing better than game Of
ball, race or any kind of a match
when was yOungster, and l do not
know but that 1 have the same opinion
of sports now"

Indian Summer.

The term Indian summer" Is ap-
piled to period of mild, open weather
that comes in the fall, embracing the
most of October and sometimes ex-
tending into November, and character
lied by sort of dry mist or haziness
that differentiates it from other sea-
sons Of the year. What causes the dis
tinctive features of the season, espe-
cially the hazy atmosphere, is un-
known, and the origin of the term
equally so. Different explanations
have been given of both, but they seen
TO be largely fanciful.
