Arizona republican., 1917-12-18

Just because the boys had chance 1 10 show what they could do in regard 10 contributing money for the Y. M. C. A. cause, is no reason why they should think there is no chance for the girls to show what they could do.
 Thursday morning during the as- sembly of which Dr. Francis was the main object, the boys sat with their mouths agap when the girls sat and calmly contributed $126O toward the w. Y. c. A. war fund.
 Dr. Francis started out to win -he hearts of the students in the right way. In the first place he told number of jokes. Second, he put be- fore the audience the objects of which he was raising this money. He asked the student body of boys to stand up if they had ever engaged themselves in the art of flirting. Surprised as everybody was some of the boys actually stood up, but of course most of us knew that they were not tell ing the truth. He then asked the girls to stand up if they had never flirted. Not a person stood up. They at least, were telling the truth.
 One big object of the money was to go 10 build American rest houses over in France for the thousand or more nurses, who have no place of refuge in the present war, where they can go when their nerves are all racked to pieces.
 The other object was to give this money 10 the Patriotic league in or der to give the soldier boys a place of entertainment when off duty. With this money a meeting place could be obtained where all the girls belonging 10 the Patriotic league could enter tain these lonesome boys.
 Or. Francis asked the leaders of the different squads in this Patriotic league, who would volunteer to con tribute toward this war fund, to stand up. In a minute $500 was raised from these squads alone. Then he asked who would individually volun- teer to give from a dollar up to $1O up.
 It took but few minutes to raise {124O. This fact was doubly appre- ciated on the account that the girls succeeded in beating the boys to the extent of $40.
