ASSIST IN BUILDING HOMES
Associations Through the Country
Teach Thrift and at the Same
Time Make Good Citizens.

Pointing out that man who owns
his own home probably will be a good
citizen. G. Clinton James, president OF
the Building Associations council for
the District Of Columbia. issued a
statement showing what building as
sociations In the district are doing to
encourage home owning and thrift.
While complete figures are not avail
able, II is estimated that the total as
sets of building associations in Wash
ington will be more than s2S,OOOOOO,
he announced.
"The building associations through
out the country are teaching thrift and
trying 20 educate the public to own
their own homes" Mr.. James stated.
"The motto OF the United States
League OF Local Building and Loan
Associations Is The American Home
the Safeguard Of American Liberties.
"The building associations have as
sisted very largely In solving the hous-
Ing question by assisting persons Of
limited means to finance the buying
OF their home. but the demand for
loans has been much greater than the
funds available" II Is asserted.
While building associations are not
as necessary In smaller towns as In
the cities. the same idea expressed In
community spirit will work out to the
desired result In the end.

Kentucky is popular with the Ma

Christian Association because it has
been chosen as one of the states in
the South Central Field where a con-
ference and two camps for girls will
be held.
The conference will be held June

dates are August 10 II, both at the
Y. M. C. A. camp known turnout
Kentucky as Camp Daniel Boone, at

The conference is for Kentucky and
Tennessee girls who either belong 10
Y. w. C. A. High School clubs or
plan TO organize such a club soon.
The vacation is for girls over twelve
years Of age.

THE WINTERS TALE"

1t is probably short Of the mark
to estimate that there have been a
hundred thousand professional pre-
sensations of Shakespearian dramas.
This figure, however, is sufficient to
indicate the permanent place of these
masterpieces in the hearts of all Eng
disappearing people. "The Winters
Tale" is one of the less known, but
for all that, one of the most interest
ing and most pleasing of Shake
speare's works. In common with his
other great comedies it presents
abundant humor interviewer with
careful character-study. In prepar-
ing to enjoy this play one must re-
member that Shakespeare wrote for
the critical audiences of his time, who
refused to accept mere burlesque as
humor and who demanded genuine
dramatic talent.
"The Winters Tale" will be given
Saturday night, May %, in the Tab
ernacle by members of The Academy
Senior Class. The performance will
be part Of the work of the dramatics
section of the fourth-yeaS rhetoricals
class. Altho no charge will be made,
admission will be. by ticket only.
Tickets may be secured by students
from their respective Deans.

KINDLY REFERRED TO THE To-
BACCO TRUST

We learn from the New York
World that the tobacco people have
been recently querying the editors
of the country as to whether or not
the people favor the prohibition OF
the personal use of tobacco by
adults" 1t is astonishing that any
group of people in the country should
waste so much as one hundred Ger
man marks on such an absurd inquiry
We could have saved them all of this
money by answering the query Off
hand.
The pepole Of the United States
do not favor the prohibition of the
personal use of tobacco by adults.
The next time the tobacco trust
has any money to waste, we suggest
that it spend il in the following way
instead Of throwing ii away by such
a QUESTIONABLE:
DO something to stop the selling
Of baseball pools and the conducting
Of handbooks on races by cigar stores
Hundreds of tobacco stores in the
United States are becoming nothing
but gambling holes. II the tobacco
trust does not know this, we will err
gage to investigate the situation in
a typical city of $4,000 or 10000 and
make a report on what we find. Al.
most to a certainty il will be disclosed
that numbers of the tobacco stores
are running a gambling business as
a side line.

One day a Peruvian friend came to
me in great excitement, waving a

"SenOr," he cried. ''there is a

"What do you mean?'

Senator Lodge said several uncompll-

son.
You see," explained the Peruvian,

do they not suppress the demOnstra-

his hearts content, that no effort is
made either by the army or by the
President himself to check such dem
Onstrations, and that the Republican
party would wait patiently until
March instead OF descending In a
body upon the White House and

snow, here we have found some
thing Of which the mountains may be
proud-something which proves their
kinship with our Revolut ionary he
roes and with the art of the world.
To encourage these fireside arts is
to encourage all the psychic forces Of
the mountain heart.
I'VE are not ungrateful for the
machinery which has come in with
such a food in the last generation.
Toll is lightened and comfort widely
diffused. The common people can
now enjoy what was once the exclu-
sive portion Of Dives and the king.
But s-onR our Injuries let us retain
our simplicities. Art is greater than
fashion. Some people will still de-
mand sketches and paintings made by
the artists hand, tho photographs
and Autographs and chromos may be
cheaper. We shall still keep a few
violins and cabinet organs, altho the
Victrola is a great thing. We shall
always have an occasional fireplace,
altho steam heat has wonderful ad-
vantages. And as long as we have
some fireplaces in the mountains. and
some fireplaces in the city. we shall
have some commerce in freside in
dustries.

the mountains. We here shall enjoy
the beauty Of it day by day, but its

cottage door,
Which the long evening shadow is

With music as sweet as the music

Mrs. Anna Ernberg, head of the
Fireside Industries of Berea, in her
address of acceptance paid glowing
Il butte to those who are making Be
rea's work possible, saying:
"Berea is certainly blessed in its
donors. They have always been the
kind who do not give because they
are asked and because they want TO
build monuments TO themselves, but
who seek out the places and the pur-
pose for which to give whereby they
can accomplish the most good among
the most needy people.
1T is worthy to encourage and
patronize the High Arts, but II is
just as worthy TO encourage and fos-
ter the lesser arts, the Art Of the
