ROTARIANS SUBMIT
TO MANY TESTS

In Australia it is a dangerous thing
to ask a man anything about his an
cestry, and whereas. the conditions In
Indiana are not altogether similar to
the conditions in Australia Mat Shank
lin took some chances at the weekly
Rotary LUNCHEON yesterday in prying
into the individual ancestry OF the Ro-
tarians present.
The members met the tests. which
were applied in remarkably good form.
but it was noted by the committee that
some OF the members were rather
nervous under the ordeal Fred Crum-
packer. Doc Sharrer and W. g. Paxton
seemed to be especially nervous. but
managed to get through with flying
colors.
Carl Kaufman proved himself a 100
per cent Rotarian by being a 100 per
cent department store man. This was
shown by his ability to tell the diff
ference between a Camel cigarette and
a dromedary date. Dick Nellie proved
to be 100 per cent newspaper man by
falling to distinguish between Quaker
Oats and Cream OF Wheat.
