NELL and has all sorts of trouble try
ing to win the wager which he puts
up with the other boys.
The coach is Ralph Brown and he
also carries a laughable part in the
show. Mr.. Brown, who is an artist
in that line. has painted some spec
ial scenery for the play. Irl Withee,
Harold Clark and Don Metcalf are
the other male characters.
Mrs. Ralph Brown takes the part
of the congenial landlady of the

derson, but they all have their share
of the trouble. The play is full Of
laughs and has a most interesting
finale.

during the afternoon and in the eve
ming The play will be followed by

through class work. Two classes,
the Better English and Foreign

interest was noticed on the part OF
parents, through home talk by the
girls upon the work of the club,
when they asked the question. how
they could become better citizens?'
This proves that the activities of the
club were farther reaching than was

Miss Garside feels that they are
not reaching the girls which they
should,-girls belonging to foreign
families, and that American girls
and boys should realize it to be their
duty to their country to fit them
selves to reach these who are I'M
Americanized. We should include
all such in our clubs and social life.
Miss Garside payed glowing tri-

ready and capable. measuring up to
every demand and attested to the
results attained through League and
Club work.
The ladies of the Union were

I proven our ability to develop equip
mont that Is inferior to none. Part-
cularly in the direction of air develop
mcnt we have shown progress in types.
I'm spite Of this gratifying progress,
we are behind our program in several
respects, due to the financial situation
which has reduced our support of some
activities. We have not made the ex-
pcrimental progress in motorization Of
artillery transport that is to be hoped
for, ror in ,hc development of improved
tanks.
Above all we are short in the de
vclopment of air power. We have
scarcely the present store of effective
planes that we would need in an emer-
geney nor the complete facilities for
training the personnel that we shall
need in war. The national regulation
of air activities and the provision of
system Of airways are matters which
arc essential to the development of air
power.
Some steps in the direction Of al

our development of air power should be
taken at once, and as our finances arc
improved. the actual building Of the
