Dr.. Arkin's address in text was

He said the world had learned
much about the cause OF Diseases
during tho past 80 years, that the
race was probably 100000 years

his special copy found ut every
plate at the monthly supper held
IN tho auditorium Of the Y. M. q.

This bulletin was printed on a
two sheet pamphlet and contained
announcements Of various nature
and words Of inspiration to the

The supper was unusually de-

auditorium filled with young wo-
men-only two men permitted

Large pumpkins occupied the cen

gracefully about the pumpkins. At
each place was small slip OF
blank paper and 4 pencil and each
guest was asked to writc thereon,
