home talent trained in our home in
situations and giving freely Of their
time and talents for the city's and
community's betterment.
Need Patronage
These musical activities, like any

plish the purpose for which they are

BRIGHT, LOCAL CLUB
IS TOLD BY SPEAKER

1.-The future of American business
looks bright" said d. w, Martin, of
Chicago, addressing the Rotary club
at the X. of p. temple Tuesday noon.
Measured in any way you please we
stand ahead of all other nations of the
world. To accomplish all that ought
to be accomplished, capital. labor and
the public must recognize that ever
lasting team work-you for me and I
for you-wiH bring success. The day
of the public be damned if it ever
existed, is over. 1t is now the pub
lie be told"

Speaking of the criticism of bust
ness, unrest and uncertainty every
where, he said. This is caused by a
failure to recognize that worldwide
readjustments are in the making; the
resources of the nations of the world
are in the process of being turned
from wartime operations back to
peace-time operations. Factories,
shops, transportation. industries If
all kinds, in all places in the world,
are struggling back to former condi-
tions. There has to come an amicable
agreement between capital and labor.
Service Is Keynote.
Service proved the keynote of his
talk for successful business. "You
may talk all you want about business"
he said, "but It's service for So weeks
out of the year that counts" He de-
MED that the Swift Packing industry
had profiteered during the war, and
presented figures to prove that unless
better margin of profit was forth
coming this year, the Swift company
would go nearer the rocks than ever
before.

College Stars
I'm Title Meet
At Hub To-day
Several Records Expected
to Fall in Annual Col
legc Classic at Boston
BY Jack Masters

BOSTON, May q, There may be
other cities in the East where track
and field classics are held, but it would
be extremely difficult to convince
native of the Hub that such is the case.
The culture center is mighty proud
of the aggregation of athletes which
has gathered here for the intercol-
legiate championship Of America and
it would seem that j. has reason to be.
Not since the Olympic tryouts were
decided here has a greater collection
OF champions and emhyro record smash
era been entertained in one city and
local enthusiasts are confident that ath-
letic history viii he made long before
the last gun Of the two day carnival
which begins tomorrow afternoon at
Harvard Stadium is fred.
Harvard finishes seventh last year
when Pennsylvania won the title with
scant margin over Princeton, but it
is certain that the Crimson will be
nearer the top this year and 1T is
equally certain that Lawson Robert
sons champions will be hard put to
retain their laurels.
The Crimson could account for only
eleven points in 1920, but with the SEN
sational Ned Gourdin ready for the
test of his career, the negro star should
score almost dozen points single
handed.
Gourdin is entered in three events
and has a chance to win them all, but
such an occurrence is doubtful. The
broad jump, however, is at his mercy
and a new American mark is likely in
this contest In the 100 and 220-yard
dashes. the negro will furnish the
competition for Allan Woodring, SYRIA
cuse, who has been made the favorite
in the sprints.
Woodrng, the Olympic champion, re-
Gently equalled the worlds record for
the century" when he was clocked
in 8 3-5, but Gourdin also deserves
consideration. for he turned 8 4-5
over the same distance only last month.
That the negro is dangerous on the
paths is evidenced by the fact that he
has been unbeaten in his last five
starts in the 100 and broad jump.
The veteran "Bil" Stevenson, of
Princeton, looks like the best bet in
the quarter-mile run. The Tiger ath-
lete need only repeat his race against
Yale two weeks ago, when he negotiated
the distance in as do, and the trophy
is his. Eby of Penn, the half mile ma
tional champion, is not in the best of
condition, but Jake Driscoll, Boston
College, can be counted upon to make
race of it.
Tom Campbell Yale, is the Eastern
choice for first honors in the half mile,
