Denver-Senator Herman Kluge of

Senate providing for the construction

rial, which shall be regarded as the di-
rect work of several states and the in

tribute $4,000 to the total cost; Wy
oming is urged to contribute $4,000

remainder may be raised the country
over from school children, civic bod
les, patriotic societies and other quasi
public organizations. The work OF
raising the money, over and above
what the three states and the City of
Denver might give, would be left to a
commission and this commission
would also have to do with the erec-
ton of the memorial

socIABILITY.-Y

SoCIABILITY.-Yes-and so on,
was the answer. We can be sociabIe.
It does not take any capital what
ever. All that is necessary is COM
mon sense applied, and when this is
reciprocated everything goes along
in it's natural order.
1t is not society that teaches us to
be sociable. It is the individual him
self and his associates. Organizations
seem to fail to recognize that by Civ
ing parties, balls and social affairs
they are not creating sOciabiIity, but
merely business. Therefore it is easy
to perceive that society is business.
Where business cOllides with So
Ciety, there is little chance for society
to predominant. After all, how can
we be sociable if we must pay for it.
