SENIOR FOLLES
ON MARCH TENTH
Public Advised To Attend And
See Best Event Of
Season.

Ziegfeld's Midnight Follies will
look pale and lacking in folly when
compared to the Senior Follies on
March the tenth.
The most experienced dancers, the
most noted beauties, the most vivac-
iously youthful girls in Mississippi
have been engaged to put the folly in
the Senior Follies.
The music Of the last hour, has
been gone over and the most beau
tiful, the dreamiest, the jazziest, the
most attractive pieces have been
culled for the use of the Folly girls,
The most famed designers have
been consulted concerning the cos
tunes. The most select shops have
been visited to purchase the material
The most gifted dress-makers have
promised their services.
Wise people will purchase their
tickets, cast aside all their small
troubles and their larger ones and
will come to spend glorious, glitter
ing night at the College Theater.
ANO IcNucy HO HluSlCdl COHtuy OF
vaudeville act has ever received the
praise and applause that the Senior
Follies expects because no director
has ever practiced their girls more
diligently than Miss Phol. No
chorus girls or dancers have ever
"step-point-turn-kicked," more en-
than have the Seniors. No
has ever planned and direct
ed and urged as untiringly and as
faithfully as Miss Massengale.
If you are weary of dreary books
and dull classes and sleepy hours in
the library; if you are deadened with
your prosaic life-simply purchase a
ticket to the "Follies." There you
will get a taste of bright lights-of
beauty and song and dance-and there
you will forget that the world is any
hing but gay, rollicking place in
which people only laugh and love and
i've.
The best critics have given favor
lble reports on the Senior Follies"
md advise that people should go if
hey desire to see the best event of
he season.-From The Spectator.

Legion Employment
Campaign Planned

Chicago, March 5.--A campaign by
the American Legion to obtain en-
ployment for 100000 veterans of the
World War now idle and in need, has
ben under consideration by the le-
gion, Col. Hanford MacNider, ma
tional commander, announced last
night in an address at dinner given
IN his honor by the Illinois depart
ment.
National business, civic, fraternal
and welfare organizations have been
asked to cooperate and a survey of
conditions in each locality will be
completed before March 20, which
will be known as American Legion
employment day, he said.
Properly supported, this concert
ed national effort will result in the
relief of 100000 men in 30 days" Col.
MacNider asserted. President Hard
ing has been requested to set aside
the day by proclamation to obtain re-
lief for unemployed veterans and gov
ernors, mayors of cities and local
leaders have been asked to cooper
ate, it was announced.
The legion's programme, he said,
consisted in getting relief for dis
abled soldiers, in securing adjusted
for those who fought
in the World War and in finding en-
ployment for the service men.

FAMILY JARS

Even a Philadelphia home is not
impervious 10 domestic jars. There
is a sad case Of family embodiment
in the divorce courts there that began
when the husband filed up on moon
shine and tried to play one Of his
wife's wafles on the ph0nograph.
There was a quarrel which ended
when the husband smashed a large
portrait Of Uncle William over the
wife's head, leaving her neck filed
with splinters Of glass. The woman
was taken to a hospital and the man
to jail. Their home is % rent. Keep
away from the moonshiue.

Flirting With Satan
Sure To Bring Ruin

A large and appreciative eongre-
cation attended services last Sunday
night at the First Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, and heard splendid
sermon from the presiding elder, Rev.
A. I. Mcllwain, D. D., on the theme,
Flirting With Satan"
Doctor McIlwain based his remarks
on the biblical story of Samson and
Delilah, narrative that is familiar
to all readers of the sacred book.
He told how, step by step, Samson
was led to his undoing by Delilah,
who, under the guise of friend, be-
trayed him unto the hands of his
enemies. "Thus," said Doctor Nell
vain, "men and women Of today are
led into sin, ruin and disgrace by
pretending friends, who offer as the
tirst step the card party, as the
second step the dance hall, as the
third step the social glass, until, in
the end, the precious immortal soul
is thrown away, and the weak ones
make shipwreck Of life here and life
beyond She grave"
Doctor Mclwain's sermon was pro-
found, earnest, eloquent and force
full. He showed conditions not as
they exist in fancy, but as they exist
in stern reality. He clearly and un-
pointed out the breakers
and the rocks. 1t will not be his
fault if the ones who heard him
wreck their lives in the pursuit Of
worldly pleasures.

HISTORIC NAMES

The unsavory advertising Of our
historic names. such as Grover Cleve-
land tied to the Bergdoll terason, and
Roscoe Conkling linked with the
Arbuckle case, has aroused several
civic socities to demand that some
thing be done about it. Nothing can
be done. We can neither spike them
down in museums nor copyright
them. f@
In a democracy no saint is respon-
sible for the insanity conduct Of
his name after it is carved on his
tomb. PsterBal pride does well to
its offsprings ard keep
the great names going. The custom
is patriotic and freshens the remem-
berance Of some heroic exploit. Little
Lueius Quintius Cincinnatus Is chris
tened in the hope that he viii be
found waiting at the plow That he
is waiting so often for trial is the
fault Of history, which declines to
respect Itself

BISHOP BRATTON
TO HOLD MISSION
EMINENT CLERGYMAN TO
BE AT ST. PAUL'S
MARCH I9.
SPIRIT OF LENT
To Permeate All Activities Of
Church During Period From
The Beginning OF Lent
To Easter.

Columbus may well consider her.
self fortunate in the knowledge that
the Right Rev. Theodore DuBose Brat
ton, D. d., of Jackson, bishop of the
Diocese of Mississippi of the Epis-
copal Church, is to conduct a mission
at Saint Pauls Church in this city
Tor one week, commencing on Sunday,
March 10th. The mission in the
Episcopal Church corresponds to the
reyigai at other protestant churches,
and lnost Episcopal churches hold a
mission each year during Lent.
Bishop Bratton is one of the most
learned men in the South He is also
one of the most pleasing and forceful
speakers in the nation, and altogether
consecrated and lovable man. What
ever he says is helpful, and every
time he breaches here the church
Should contain not one single vacant
pew.
The mission will begin on Sunday,
March 1oth, and will continue for one
week. This is in keeping with the
true spirit of Lent, which is to de-
velop the spiritual life of each com
municant. Lent is a means, and not
an end in itself, and thai means is
to make the church follow the time
honored custom and use all the means
possible for the strengthening of the
Christian life.
For years there has grown up the
custom of holding missions, or special
services of preaching and instruction,
along with the added opportunities
Of public devotions. The Bishop of
London has for years held Lenten
Preaching Missions throughout his
diocese.
Bishop Bratton is one of the most
efficient and forceful mission preach
ers in the Episcopal Church, and the
Rev. E. Lucien Malone and the YES
trymen of Saint Paul's Church feel !
very happy in the prospect of having
one of Bishop Bratton's missions
here.
Those who know Bishop Bratton
need but to be told that he will be
here. Those who do not know him,
need but to hear him once and they
will be sure to hear him as often as
possible.
The Rev. f. Lucicn Malone not
only urges every Episcopalian to at
tend the mission, but he invites every
person who feels the need of spirit
ual awakening to attend all the SER
vices. Bishop Bratton is great man,
bearing great message, and it is
always a privilege and a pleasure to
hear him. Let no man deny himself
the wonderful means of grace that is
presented in the profound, spiritual,
inspiring sermons of this consecrated
and learned servant of God

SUNDAY SERVICES
HELD AT COLLEGE
Because OF Quarantine, Stud
ents Are Unable To At
tend Church.

Because the students of M. S. C. W
were under the influenza quarantine
and could not attend church and Sun
day School on the last Sabbath, religi-
Gus services were held on the cam
pus under the general direction OF
Mrs. Emig, the college Y. w. C. A.
secretary.
AT ten o'clock, Mr. Rowan, of the
Presbyterian Church, delivered in the
college chapel beautiful and inspir-
ing spiritual talk, his subject being:
we Have Found Jesus He said
that many people thought that Jesus
could be found only in the Bible, in
things that we're lofty and idealistic.
And most of us seem TO think that
Jesus is very far away and very hard
/ to find, but in reality He is to be
found everywhere we find love and
helpfulness. Jesus can be found
here on Gus campus, and is here, only
some of us do not have time to look
for Him and see Him. Mr.. Rowan's
talk was delivered in his usual inn
pressive way and could not fail to
have left a very beautiful thought
in the hearts Of all the college girls
that heard him. We should like to
thank Mr.. Rowan for coming and
talking TO us. He is indeed one of
the best friends the college has, and
we shall alweys welcome and admire
him.
After the service in the Chapel, the
Sunday School classes
were taught by various members Of
the Faculty. Mr.. Painter taught the
Presbyterian girls; Miss Culbertson
and Miss Hoskins, the Baptist girls
Mrs. Daugherty and Mrs. Emig, the |
and Miss Parker, the
Christian girls. These classes were !
much enjoyed, and considerably eased |
the pain Of the quarantine.
We should also like TO thank Mrs
Emig, our efficient and thoughtful /
secretary, TO whom we are largely |
indebted for these services.
The Ncsper Service Sunday night at
six o'clock proved TO be unusually |
Olive Kelly lead and
Florine Dale talked about the student
Volutecr Band, explaining Just what
was the purpose Of this organization
and what il meant to the girls who
Joined it. The fact that the churches
need trained workers TO carry on the
asks Of Christianity and civilization
vas very forcibly brought out. Eli
,abeth Gordon gave a very interest
ng argument both for and against
.ollege girls taking up this kind Of
work. She showed very plainly that
most Of the excuses made By girls
or not getting into this work are
'ery flimsy, and not at all convincing. !
What she said gave most Of rs abun-
liant food for thought. We shall GER
ainly look forward 70 hearing Eli
abeth again soon. Leny Mitchell and
Elizabeth Smith, delegates who at
ended the Student Volunteer Con-
erence in Jackson recently, gave in

acrimonious messages back and forth
to each other while business twiddles
its thumbs and waits and waits, not
even being able to guess what to
DO in the circumstances. The store
shelves remain untitled, the factories
idle, the ships motionless. These COM
mittees, not satisfied with quarreling
from one end Of the Capitol to the
other, have equally bitter quarrels
among themselves. And at the White
House it is not different. The Pres

Adams, have been at daggers' points

Hays, the filling Of the vacancy as

COP. CONGRESS
Is JOKE TO ALL
CHECKERBOARD BUSINESS
HAS PICKED UP UNDER
ADMINISTRATION
VERY UNPOPULAR
Congressman Mann Pays His
Respects To Hays.-BOnus
Proposition Will React
On Republicans.

Writing to The Dispatch from
Washington, D. c., under date Of
March 9th, Mr.. Wallace Bassford, our
regular correspondent at the national
capital, says;
The Sixty-Seventh Congress is Just
completing the first year Of its term.
1t has but twelve more months Of ex-
istence; if its latter half leaves no
better impression on the country than
its first, then certain it is that it
will go down in history as one Of the
big disappointments, disheartening to
its closest friends and even to it's own
membership. Few, if any, attempt
to defend a Congress that has become
the butt of the jokesmiths on the
stage and in the funny papers. Its
efforts--if they can be called such
to relieve the distress of the country
might become tragic if it were not
for the saving sense of humor pos
sessed by the American people. Ev-
eryone laughs when Abe Martin says
that business is picking up-he quotes
the proprietor of the five and ten
cent store as saying he has sold more
checker-boards in the last year than
during all of Wilson's administration.
And the Washington theatre rings
with applause when Will Rogers, the
comedian, tells of the recent fire on
the roof of the Treasury-how it
stopped when it had burned down to
where the money was, for the Adm
had beat the fire to it.
Every test of public opinion shows
that Congress has made itself intense
ly unpopular. If anyone had proph-
esied this outcome when Harding and
the big Republican majority in Con-
gress came TO bat year ago he would
have been laughed at, but the public
has been treated to a succession of
delays and party splits on important
with increasing bewilder-
nent and helplessness. Every Repub-
ican in Congress seems 10 be a party
INTO himself, with the exception of
/ few clear-headed men like Jim
hann--who might bring some order
,ut of this chaos had his ungrateful
,arty given him the place he had won,
he Speakership, but it went to one
Who admits his own utter inability
nd that Of his party.
