NIGHT ON VICTORY

Delivering a lecture on Victory"
Professor Edward Amherst OFT will ap-

Monday evening in what is said to be
the best number on the Hi-Y lecture
course this season.
The lecturer was scheduled to ap-
pear on Friday night, but the post
ponement of the program was an
nounced yesterday by ]. o. Sexson, Y
secretary.
DR.. Otis lecture is not on the war.
nor is it a reconstruction lecture, but
an after the-war study of immediate
action.
THE heart OF the nation is awake
to make America fit for the place she
has won in the worlds attention. he
says during the course of his discus
sion, when he will answer among other
questions:
What did we gain by the war?
Has the end of war come?
What can we do locally to get the
full benefit Of the military victory
Is Reconstruction or real-construc-
ton the word?
How much democracy have we in
America?
victory is said TO De the most
popular of the series Of lectures given
by DIR. OFT throughout the country. Al
though he passed years in preparing
for his career as lecturer, the pro-
fessor has given his attention in a
large measure to college work, having
been connected with Drake university
for II years and with Hiram college
for two years. He is the author of a
number of text books used in many of
the best colleges and high schools.

improvements that could be made in

were sufficient funds to carry out the
idea were outlined yesterday by E. c.
Reeves. Boys work secretary.
If had $4,000 to spend on the boys
work in Phoenix, the first thing /
would do would be to remodel the nAse
ment of the boys department" said
Reeves. 1.-THE present boys depart
ment is composed of three small rooms
each about IS feet square, or 972 square
feet of floor space. II / had $4,000
with which to remodel the basement, we
could add to the above, a room 40x105
feet, or 1920 square feet. This would
relieve the situation for a couple of
years. at the end Of which time a
separate building for boys will prob
ably be needed.
I'VE would certainly have a cracker
jack boys department downstairs. Just
picture room 40 feet by los feet with
all sorts of bright hued pennants from
the various colleges arranged around
the rooms, a constant reminder to the
boys of the institutions Of higher learn

to plan to attend one of them. And

VISITOR F|NDS NEW
CAPITOL WING MASS
Of "CUBBY HOLES"

Judge Rutherford Of Jerome was in
the city yesterday on legal business.
In the course of it he visited the CAPT
toll building for the first time since the
construction of the new wing. He was
largely instrumental in securing the
appropriation for the improvement, or
what was intended to be an improve
ment When he returned to the city
he said in a tone of disgust, 81 have
been visiting the Chinese lodging
house"
He said that if he had known what
a use was to be made of the appropria-
ton, instead of furthering it, he would
have opposed it. The annex Is nothing
more, he said, than a collection of ILL
ventilated cubby holes. There are num-
berless closets, put in for what purpose
he cannot conceive. Altogether, he be-
lieves that the new wing is nothing to
be proud of.
Speaking of the bronze tablet bear
ing the name of the then commission
of state institutions, which was de-
signed to be placed in the new struc-
ture, but which VISA stolen, Judge
Rutherford said that the men whose
names were engraved or embossed upon
that tablet ought to advertise for the
thief and if they can locate him they
ought to reward him literally for saw.
