Mrs. Runyan Tells
Girls How to Help
Their Association

"The Y. W. C. A.. Its Assets and
Liabilities" was the subject OF the
informal talk by Mrs. Harriet b.
Runyan of Minneapolis, made at the
annual membership banquet or the
association held last night in the
gymnasium at which some one hun
bred members were the guests.
This was the fifth annual banquet
sponsored by the association, which
each year closes a more successful
season than the previous one.
Dollars and cents are not the
only terms in which results can be
measured" said the speaker. Liza
bilities in the Y. W. C. A are the
people whose names are enrolled,
but who are drags, who bring Ut
tie or nothing other than the one
hundred cents into the organ1Za-
ton. The assets are the splendid
young women who come IN deter
mined not to only get out but to put
in something tremendously worth
while. To be in the latter class
you have to get close enough to the
heart of the Y. w. C. A. to feel it
beat. Keep your hand open to give
and not ready to grasp.
How many of you are really
democratic when it comes to living
the word out? Do you really want
to mix? Or do you pick out your
set? Don't confine your friendships
to one circle. l love the democracy
of the Y. w. c. A. II is better than
ALL fhrnn
questions to ascertain your rela-
tionship to the Rock Island assocla-
ton: First, is my hand openT
Second, Am I prejudiced? Third,
Did l come to write the third word
in the name, Christian, bigger than
ever?'
'The Y. w. C. A. has no right to
exist unless It takes this word and
exalts it and puts it ahead OF ev-
erything else. Let your enthusias-
iasm spill over"
At the close of the delicious din
ner served, Mrs. C. w. Halves, first
vice president of the board of dl-
rectors, presiding in the absence OF
the president, Mrs. J. H. Hauberg,
announced the program for the eve
ming. A message was sent to Mrs
Hauberg from the association, to
take with her to California, for
where she was leaving late in the
evening. 1t was the first banquet at
which Mrs. Hauberg had not been
present.
Mrs. H. w. Ward, chairman of
the membership committee, which
had charge of the drive for mem
hers which is still continuing, an
nounced that up to last night, 1,157
members had been reported. The
followup work is just to begin, and
before the end of the month it is
expected that this number Will be
