MEETING OF COLLEGE CLUB
On Tuesday, October 18th, the Col
A., began its years activities at the
meeting at the Christian church, Ke'
walo street. The program planned for
the meetings of this year contem-
plates a suggestive series of studies
of influences at work that may be for
native in the reconstruction of the
world after the war. The subjects
treated will be Material RecOnstruc-
tion," and Reconstruction Along the
Lines of Art, Music. the Drama, Relig-
ion and Sociology"
At the opening of the meeting the
club enjoyed two songs by Mrs. H. H.
BIodgett and violin selections by Miss
Margaret Leven. Then followed a
short paper by Mrs. A. C. Alexander
On Conservation. They are the
slackers in this war, it was emphasiz
ed, who continue to live in the same
extravagant ways as before, who are
careless of the grain which is so
necessary to our allies. 1t is they who
have stood the hardest part of this
struggle for our common liberty.
Material Reconstruction After tn =:
War" was the subject which Joel B.
Cox treated from the standpoint of an
engineer. ALREADY the reconstruction
has begun by testing out all our insti.
tutions from the government to bridge
and road construction, and exposing
shams and subterfuges. We are unex-
pectedly trying out government by
a socialistie state. It is now the gov
eminent which chooses young mans
occupation for him, places him where
he best fits the scheme of affairs in
the present crisis, and even dictates
the food which its citizens shall eat"
the author pointed out.
For the material reconstruction,
the immediate challenge is to the in
vention and the devotion of the engi.
neers. New materials must be substi-
tuted for those used and destroyed in
war, or rendered too expensive to be
practical"

rive in time for the November bill.
The Lanai players have offered the
Chamber OF Commerce their aid in
entertaining the congressional visitors
in November. The committee has
taken their offer under advisement.
The November dates come suspicious
ly for a private Performance of this
kind, as the visitor: arrive In Noyem-
Der. It is to be hoped the offer will
be accepted as there is no place so
tropical and delightful as the little
Lanai theater, with its cool seats,
playing fountains and waving palms
outside. A place from which to take
back real Hawaiian memories.
There will be no performances Of
the Lanai players in December, as
they are giving VIZ to the Footlights,

After November 10th the Lanai thea

NEIGHBoRHooD CIRCLES OF THE
CENTRAL UNION MEET
Chairmen of the sixteen ne;ghbor-
hood circles of the Central Union
church met yesterday in the parish
house to make plans for the coming
autumn and winter meetings Of the
circles.
Heretofore 1t has been the custom
of these circles to meet at the home
of some one Of the members who
would act as hostess for her circle for
the afternoon. At these meetings re.
freshments OF some kind were served,
and the busy housewife, or the timid
stranger who might not have cared to

This year, however, because OF war
conditions, there will be no refresh.
ments served, and all the meetings
will be held In the parish house.
1t is believed by the members CT the
Circles that this later plan, which
was hit upon purely for the purposes
of economy, so that the amount saved
by having no refreshments might be
given to the Red Cross or some similar
good cause, will result in the strang.
ers in the city getting acquainted
more quickly, as they will have an op-
portunity. of meeting not only their
own neighbors but women from all
over the city.

NEED NEW RULES

League before the 1917 season was
completed.
Fans know how well this scribe's
prophecy has been fulfilled, full
lllled almost to the letter. Cham
bersburg dropped because of finan-
clal dift1culties and other teams were
reported wobbly. And this is some
What on the order of the Dauphin-
Perry future, unless the expenses
are checkmated, according to some
supporters.
1t is the rivalry between towns
that helps But it must not be un-
derstood that the fans would toler-
ate any article of ball and still come
to see the games. Nevertheless, the
cost could he lowered considerably
without materially changing the at
tendance. The old rivalry would still
be there. To prove this assertion,
size up the attendance figures of 1915
and those of the past season. The
quality of ball in 1915 cannot i'm any
manner or means be compared to
that of 1917, no person will deny.
And now with the 1917 season end
ed and hackers looking over their
bankrolls and finding deficits in prac
lcally every town, satisfaction does
not pervade the atmosphere in many
OF the towns. In one town and that
town not the smallest either, fans
are thoroughly discouraged and some
even say they doubt if their town
Will be represented when the time
for the opening of the season rolls
around next year.
Two alternatives open to Dauphin-
Perry League magnates. One of them
is to set salary limit and enforce
1t (there is now a salary limit of $50
per game and expenses for three
players but it is a dead letter for
none of the teams observe it,, or to
reduce the number of nonresident
players.
The player limit, too. is good. The
one receiving most consideration is
that of reducing the number of non
resident players from three to two
in addition to permitting the teams
to use two five-game-rule players.
Some desire even more radical
changes and wish to cut it still fur
ther and give the teams the privi-
lege of using but one five-game-rule
player. League magnates should not
overlook these facts.
