The Torch Bearers of Service

convention that applications for
membership were received from
Winnipeg, Canada and London. This
led to changing the name Of the or
ganization to the International AS
sociation of Rotary clubs.
In the foreign extension of the Ro-
tary idea one principle has been ad-
hered to rigidly. This is that clubs
shall have as members natives or the
country in which it is formed. The
Rotary club of Tokyo has a purely
Japanese membership, and the Ro-
tary club of London is made I'D en-
tirely of Englishmen.
Although the organization OF clubs
has spread so far and so fast, II is
emphasized by the officials of the In
ternational organization that the
foundation OF Rotary Is the individual
club. They say that no club can
be a member OF international Rotary
very long without finding this out.
1t shortly becomes apparent that the
club is a member of a great inter-
national organization and that any
thing 1t does Is bound to be felt by
other clubs.
How the Plan Works
Here is an example cited 10 show
how this works out-the Rotary club
of Blackwell. Oklahoma, learned that
a number Of boys who had been grad
uated from the grammar school Of
the city did not intend TO go to high
school. The club instituted an in
uuiry, talking with the parents OF the
bows and the boys themselves. II
was instrumental in having condi-
tions so changed that a very large
percentage of those boys did go 70
high school In routine course the
matter was reported to international
headquarters. There the matter was
taken up Immediately. with the result
that last year in this country alone
25 900 boys and girls who intended tc
quit school at the end OF their gram
mar school course for various rea-
sons, were persuaded TO continue
their educations.
Membership in Rotary club Is nc
honorary affair. Most meetings are
weekly luncheons. Four consecutive
absences for other than Illness OF
absence from the city forces any
member out automatically. This hat
proven effective in keeping Rotary
out of the class of organizations with
non active memberships.
The name Rotary was taken orig
group of four men in Chicago were tc
hold meetings in each others office
! in rotation. Since. the name has
been adapted to the succession of Of
ficers of the club, as the offices must
rotate. with the exception OF the Of
| flee Of secretary treasurer. 1t il
rare indeed that any other exception
is made 10 this rule.
Seeks Opportunities. Not Thanks
The principles of the organization
are carried into action in many ways
Rotary is depended upon to get be-
hind every kind of a movement fol
the betterment or the community
There are some jobs that the clubs
do when no other agencies exist fol
their proper performance. But 1t il
one of the fundamental rules OF TIT
organization TO claim no credit fol
nything-instead TO thank any othel
organization or element in the com

munity for the opportunity to make
itself useful
Here is what Paul Harris, the
originator of the idea. now Interna-
tional President Emeritus and still
an active Rotarian, has to say:
Rotary has dedicated itself to the
advance of an ideal, the ideal OF SER
vice. II the world once becomes inn
bued with the spirit OF service there
Will be no more occasion for war;
the brotherhood of man will be here.
THE accomplishments of Rotary 10
date have been impressive indeed. it's
spontaneous spread from one country
to another was been without prece .
dent. There is a reason for such
remarkable success; 1t lies in the
fact that Rotary has placed its de-
pendence upon the most dependable
attribute OF man friendliness;
doubts and suspicious disappear when
friendship enters.
brotherhood OF man is friendship
all inclusive. and Rotary therefore be-
lieves that in cultivating friendship
the means 1t has used in seeking the
advancement OF it's ideal. service. II
is assisting to make actual the high
est and mightiest OF all human con
ceptions-the brotherhood OF man. !"

Dummer. THE hotels are as good
there as the average European city.
And ! understand it's quite a pic
turesque city. You don't mean to
tell me this country is showing any
resitancy?"
There's much difference of opinion
whether we should attend or not" re-
piled Senator DUNN. PERSONALLY, l

been leaders in all conference move
ments, and don't see why we should
skip any of EN-. Genoa is sensitive

II in the face TO ignore the invita-
tion to attend the first big confer
ence it has ever had said Dummer.
"You must bear in mind" explained
DUNN, "that all cities of importance
are now holding international con-
ferences in the same regard they
used to hold the annual convention
of the Elks, or the Worlds Fair and
Industrial Exposition. In the old
days every chamber OF commerce
hired a staff of bright young men to
watch the newspapers and put in
bids for every convention scheduled
for that particular season"
Don't they do it now?" asked
Dummer.
NO." replied DUNN. To-day they
just watch for dates of conferences,
and then write long letters outlin-
ing the qualifications Of the home
town for such a purpose
why doesn't the United States
want to attend this affair at Genoa,
anyhow" asked Dummer.
Il think she's afraid of a plot TO
make her cancel all war debts and
tell the European nations to forget
the little matter of eleven billion dol
lars owed her"
"Well, she might as well cancel
them" asserted Dummer. This
country has as much chance getting
the eleven billion the allies owe her
as have of getting the eleven dol
lars / let my brother-in- law have ten
or twelve years ago. You know, the

May there be thorough investigation OF the cir
cumstances in which a killed Wednes-
day night as result OF collision between bicycle
and an automobile. We are not willing to assume
that the driver Of automobile is always to blame
in accidents in which pedestrians bicyclists and
motorcycsts are hurt. He is to blame at
all II he is observing the regulations that have been
prescribed for the drivers OF automobiles. But If
he has deviated in the slightest degree from of
those regulations that deviation has resulted in
an accident, he should be held fully accountable.
There hundreds of these deviations the

beyond speed limits unlghted vehicles, improper

producer OF possible accident. All these violations

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Seventeen
years ago, a Chicago lawyer. Paul
Harris, conceived the idea of bring
ing together the business and profes-
sional men of community in way
which would eliminate any question
of rivalry in business or profession
and that would permit these men to
get at the very foundation of all
matters of Importance to the COM
munity. The idea was to help society
as a whole, with a view to making
the members of the proposed club
better members of society by giving
them a wider vision OF opportunities
to serve society, and to make them
better representatives Of their own
profession or business to the end that
they might carry the message and
example of service to the members of
their professions and men in their
lines of business who were not mem
hers of the club.
On February %, 1905. Mr.. Harris
and three friends formed the Chicago
Rotary club with this foundation:
/. That each member should
pledge himself to the service of So
ciety in general, his community. his
business or profession. and his home,
2. That each member should
pledge himself TO the service of bust
ness or each profession admitted to
the club.
8. That each member should be
addressed always by his first name
or a nickname.
4. That any member failing TO
attend four successive meetings. saw
ing only in case OF Illness or absence
from the city, should automatically
forfeit his membership
These are described as the big
principles of Rotary. and the clubs
have spread to % countries. There
are now 1854 clubs throughout the
world, with memberships aggregat-
ing 10000.
Growth Of An Idea
More than three years elapsed be-
fore the second Rotary club was
formed In November 1908, San
Franciscans. after a study OF the
Chicago plan. followed the example
set by Mr.. Harris and his friends
Three months later Oakland. Calf.
followed suit and in June of the
same year Seattle and los Angeles
organized clubs. New York city fol-
lowed in August and Boston in De-
cember 1909. Then at short intervals
clubs were ORGANIZED in Tacoma
Wash: Minneapolis, ST. Paul. st
Louis. New Orleans. Kansas City
Lincoln. Neb.; Portland. Ore; De-
troit, Cincinnati. Cleveland. Philadel-
phia, and Pittsburg. The idea was
spreading like wildfire. It reached
outside of the United States and has
taken in Canada, Cuba. Uruguay

What DoDwSdyQ

Perhaps it Is clever to scheme and endeayor
TO purchase bad bootlegger booze,
Perhaps it is funny to spend time and money
on stuff it is poison to use;
A gay little frolic on hooch vitrouc
Is some folks conception Of glee
Which may be pleasure beyond any measure
But it doesn't that way to me!
1t may give elation to help the initiation
OF many a booueggers wad;-
Or taste without shrinking, potion whose drinking
May bury you under the sod;
/ don't care to censure that kind of adventure
Though silly it is. agree.
Some people say that it's merry and gay,
But it doesn't look that way to me!
Perhaps it is thrilling to spend the time swiiiing
This hooch that is made from shellac,
Or wetting your throttle at ten bucks the bottle
On stuff that makes porcelain crack;
1t NAV be a lark to take ways that are dark
Like the widely known heather Chinee
For the sake of flicker of gosh awful liquor
But it doesn't that way to me-
