Women ''tIostesses' to Watch
AtCongressiional Polls Tomorrow
Republicans and Democrats Each to Have One Suraoist
at Every Polling Booth-Move Intended to Over
Iimidity Of New Voters

Women watchers, or "hostesses," in
all the polling places tomorrow Will
be the next step in the advance of
woman into political life. Both the Re-
publican and Democratic county chair
men have issued orders that there shall:
be one woman watcher at the polls for
each party. Heretofore each party has
had two men watchers.
The innovation came at the request
Of Miss Mary Garrett Hay, chairman
Of the Woman Suffrage party, who had
a conference with Samuel ]. Kocnig,
chairman of the Republicans, and Fred
crick G. Tanner, of the Democrats, on
Saturday.
eve women want 20 do half the work
as we'll as get half the glory Of vot-
ing" she said. "Thc Woman Suffrage
party is not taking sides in any polit-
cal contest, but we are interested in
getting out the woman vote.
Women Display Timidity
eve believe that many women were
prevented from registering because of
tmidity about entering registration
places filled only with men. With the
additional crowds of men who will be
out on election day many women viii!
perhaps be unwilling to go into the
polling places to vote They would be
much reassurcd by the presence of
women Watchers"
There are 41O polling places to which
women watchers will be assigned. The
Republican and Democratic leaders will
assign women of their own parties. No
plans have been made to have Socialist
women watchers.
~ didn't think it would be necessary
to have Socialist women Watchers" said
Miss Hay. "The women Of that belief

Shoes and Ships

Men in Wall Street have found new
cure for the ills that are popularity sup
posed to beset the tired business
man."
NO, it has nothing to do with a seat
IN the third row, centre, on the aisle
and a chorus wearing much rouge,
many smiles and little else. Nothing
OF the sort, according to Henry L.
Doherty, once newsboy and now mill
ionaire, who originated the cure.
Each night at 5. when traffic in New
York is at its worst. Mr.. Doherty leaves
his Office, at GO Wall Street, climbs
into the drivers seat OF his automobile
and then guides the machine up Broad
way to Twenty-thrd Street and IN
Fifth Avenue to the park.
Any one who plunges into the con-
fiictlng currents of traffic at that time
OF day has little time to think of other
worries. AS a result Mr.. Doherty has
an hour g more Of the most complete
relaxation from business troubles. He
hasn't time to think OF them.
Near the hat check room in certain

Your meal you are supposed to give the
hat check boy 10 cents or more for
putting your hat and coat on a hook.
Sometimes it seems as though the con-
trlbutlcn box wore a sardonic and dis
illusioned air.

Will Irwin. the war correspondent
who has just returned from Italy,
brought back word that Tibet heard of

Dalai Llama has since been praying
for the regeneration Of Western civ
ilization.
Irwin got his information from Archi-
bald Farrar, q British writer-eXplorer-
naturalist. who was in the neighbor-
hood OF Lhasa seeking botanical speci-
mems when The news of the great world
conflict filtered through the mountain
barriers He made his way back via

was retreating precipitatcly when Far

at the rocky mountain face.
Irwin ran back and shouted: eng

blankly. He had trowel in one hand

short visit in Washington. The prince
was the Russian Ambassador to France

night that his present visit to America
was purely social and that he expected
to return to Paris in two weeks.
He declined to diaucss the Russian
situation. When asked If he expected
to return to Russia soon, he replied:

CLASS POEM

[By Alta We're Ribynl
A breath from field OF clover
Kissed by the sinking sun.
And from the marsh calls plover
Just as the day is done.
A mellow voice. q tender hand,
A merry laugh that rings,
A sky of rose DER all the land
Tell of world that sings.
An angry wind and sullen sky
Ger rocks drear, stern and cold.
A sea that leaps when the storm is
high.
A flock that is far from its fold.
Gray mist and rain and bitter tears
OF empty hearts and sad,
Soldiers of youth upon bier
Tell of a world gone mad.
All life for some Is joyous dreams
And laughter, glad and gay,
Thinking adown the pale moonbeams
AS fairies trip ins play.
They live for pleasure and delight,
For frolic, fun and mirth,
With ne'er a thought of falling night
Nor sorrow on this earth.
For some it's sadness, pain and tears,
Harsh toll from morn till eve;
All days are dim, and dark, and
dread
They sit apart and grieve.
They live always uncontrolled,
Forsaken and alone,
With ne'er thought Of living dead,
Nor Joy come to it's own.
Shall ours a life OF laughter be,
Untouched by another's woe?
Shall we just pleasure see,
Nor pay the debt we owe?
The world needs men and women
strong
And ready for the fight,
To aid the weak. to right the wrong,
To crush the arm of might.
Our duty, then we must perform,
And ever chose the right,
And battle forth amidst the STORM
To face the call of life.
Then let us meet our task, our debt,
Nor fail to pay the price
Till we learn e'r life's sunset
To serve and sacrifice.

Dear Alma Mater, we must leave
thee,
Meier forget thy loved name.
And we forever shall revere
Thy wisdom, tenderness and fame.
Through many day our lives grew
strong,
For life's hard tasks within thy
walls;
And ever shall we carry near
Thy influence when duty calls.
Dear Alma Mater, may thy children
Who on life's way start so free,
Not stain, but glorify thy name.
Do noble deeds because of thee.
We all have the courage high to
dare;
Our plans we make for futures
higher,
Although we cannot know how near
Fulfillment comes to our desire.

CLASS HISTORY
IBx Margaret swartz.l

| On former Glass Days have heard
so many people say, after the exer.
cises, Eyes, wasn't it splendid; all
except the History? They always are
SO long and dull" l have felt the
same way myself. and l am sure
most of you have. Perhaps / cannot
keep this from being dull, but / can
make it brief.
The majority of this class entered
High school on September 8, 1914,
and were reinforced at various times.
The first year was uneventful. as
Freshman year usually is. On Jan
uary IL, 1916, joint party was given
by the Freshmen and Sophomores at
the Y M. G.. A. with Miss Gampert
and Miss Baum as chaperones. the
Juniors and Seniors tried to make
Tar Babies out of the Rockies, but
that did not spoil their good time.
They turned their collars inside out,
washed their faces and kept smiling
In September, 1915, we entered as
Sophomores. We were more socially
inclined this year and gave two par
ties and picnic. On November H.
we embarked on a hayrack to Lloyd
Roberts. Early in the evening we
played Run Sheep-Run," and later
several of the class had word duel.
which resulted in one of them walk
ing all the way home.
The other party was given by Fran
els Lutz on February IA. We never
did discover who made Mr.. Springer's
cake. The class was supposed to give
a picnic May 26 at Wild Cat. 1t rained
in the afternoon and the chaperones
were afraid they might get their feet
wet. so they stayed at home while
six Sophomores went all alone. Ever
since our second year members of
our class have been in all the organ
izations in High school.
One very noted declaimer and de-
batter is Esther Weyer and our must
clans are Leila Hummer, Helen Wyl
lie and Daniel Bishop.
In our Junior year we organized
our class with Frank Bidwell as Pres
ident. Helen Wyllie, Vice President,
Francis Lutz, Secretary, and Ralph
Worster, Treasurer. Our colors were
green and white. Three parties were
given this year; the first a rtallow-
cen masquerade given by francis
Lutz, the second was given at Leon
Rayburn's home, January 26. The
last. and the one which will prob
ably be remembered longest, was
Hard Times" party at the home OF
Paul Megchelsen, on March 8. Sever
al boys of the class were transported
to the country for a change of air by
the benevolent Seniors. Almost every
boy in High school came as far as
the door, where after receiving cold
shower bath, each one suddenly de-
cided he did not belong there. The
first refreshments were water, crack
ers, and toothpicks, and the second
were ice cream and cake.
Entering High school in the fall of
1917. as dignified Seniors, we elected
Francis Stadler President, Margaret
E. Meyers, Vice President, Ludwig
A. Lantz, Secretary and Mary Hombs,
Treasurer.
We had only weiner roast and a
Halloween party in this busy Senior
year. We started from the High
school on a hayrack on the evening
of September 81. after waiting long
time for Miss Solomon and Mr.. Nc
Clure. When we reached the top of a
hill the driver told us we would have
to walk down, because the horses

might run away, and when we got
to the foot of the hill he said we
would have to walk up because the
load was too great for the horses to
pull AS the river road is composed
mostly of hills, we walked almost all
the way to the White Elks vineyard,
where we built big fire to roast our
weiners. We started home after eat
ing everything but our hats.
Halloween fell on Wednesday in
1917, and for the first time In our
remembrance DR.. Reid consented 10
the classes giving parties in the mid
die Of the week. We seniors had ours
in Ralph Worster's new barn. 1t was
regular Halloween party with Germ
stalks. ghosts, fortunes. cider, pump
kin pie and all. We edited a country
newspaper, produced our own moving
pictures, and had a lesson In the
physiology of ghosts. Ludwig Lantz
and Rheuben Pearson went swim
ming instead of bobbing for their ap-
pies. Everybody. not emitting the i've
chaperones, had splendid time.
We are very proud Of our three
soldier members, Francis J. Lutz,
Ralph Worster and Elmer Halsch.
Francis Lutz is in the Coast Artillery,
| Ralpn WOrSter Is III Lne MeuiSai ~
partment of the Aviation, and Elmer
Haisch is in the Medical Department
at Washington.
This marks the close Of the history
| of class. But these four years
spent together cannot be forgotten by
any members of the class OF Is. We
go out to various places and manners
of living. But the influence of our
school life goes with us-the influence
not only that of the classmates have
had upon us, but that with which our
teachers have enveloped US. After all,
| it has been our teachers and our
school which have really made class
history and not our little parties and
meetings. We feel grateful to them
for their kindly interest and guidance
and hope that although the class OF
Is becomes past, not current, his
tory in two more days, it will be a
period of past history not unworthy
the favorable "reminiscences of stud
ents and faculty.
