Prohibition Fight
 Started By Japs

Tolxto, June 16-Japan may be the first country to follow the United States into the age of corn wh1skey and home brew. It won't be very soon, but the movement to deprive the rickisha man and the geisha of their sake" and those who have acquired Western culture of their beer and Scotch whiskey has started.
 Dhe w. C. T. U. and other organiza- = tions, similar to those which consid CT a cocktail a crime in America, are interested. They have been doing pro- hihiffon work for years, but it was not until recently that the campaign started with force. Encouragement by the passage of the Minor prohibi- ton law by the Diet is responsible for the activity, and now one sees groups of girls and women with an occasional man on prominent street corners handing to passers-by circu- lars telling of the evils of drink.

Blind Man
 Unmolested By
 Illinois Robbers

Litchf1eld, Ill.,, June 16.-In days of old when knights were bold chivalry held sway. This nobleness of ye old en days is being reflected in some of the modern bandits.

 When the proprietor informed the bandits it made no difference where he stood as his eyesight was gone he was not robbed or moleSted.

The First Woman Senator

The president of the United States
Senate must hereafter, for time at
least, have heed in his recognition of
n Senator seeking an audience. and
the members of that body must also
be ready to use some variation Of the
conventional reference to colleagues.
"The gentleman from" hereafter
cannot always apply. Whether the
new style will be "thc lady" or''the
Senator from" has not been decided,
but woman will sit in place Of the
late Tom Watson, representing the
state of Georgia. Governor Hard
wick has appointed Mrs. W. II. Eel
ton, the grand old woman of Geor-
gia," To fill the vacancy caused by
Senator Watson's death. In response
to popular sentiment the position
was profrercd the widow Of the de-
ceased Senator, but she declined, and
the decision was quickly made to
send Mrs. Felton,. This gives the la
dy the distinction OF being he first
woman to he United States Senator.
The new Senator from Georgia is
Il native OF the state and has always
resided there. Her family, the I.nti-
mers, have always been prominent.

They take it for granted that
Americans can not exist without
flocking over to Europe and strewing
their gold broadcast.
Instead, they might with advantage
to themselves reason thusly:
L. II other nations put into effect

is nothing to prevent Americans
from putting financial boycott into

2. America could exist very COM

3. European countries would find

4. Rich Americans are foolish
enough to spend their money abroad

possible even for people Of wealth
to line up behind the good old flag

Faculty
All members of the literary fucul-
~ are holders of the Masters or
Doctors Degree; are professionally
trained for teaching; are exrerienc-
ed teachers; and are Christian men
and women. For the first time this
is true in Martha Washington. Ex-
amino the catalogues Of other col
leges for women to see whether it is
true with them.
Sunday School
President Avent believes in prac-
ticalizcd Christian Education. Con
sequently, he has organized sun
day School, not of the traditional
sort, but one in which activity is the
basis. The program of the ordinary
Sunday School is very much enlarg-
ed. The method OF administration
is such AS to make sure expression as
we'll as impression doing as we'll as
hearing, training as we'll as instruct
ing. The aim is that every girl may
have actual practice in doing eff
iicient church work. Their presi
dent is superintendent; the teachers
are members Of the faculty.
Every full graduate will have had
a thorough course in Sunday School
Teacher Training regular three
session hour course plus threc-hour
course in Bible. The ministers and
church people appreciate this. A
Christian college can and must train
for Christian service. These courses
are taught by college teachers and
by college methods.
The College Home
The president and his wife, and
also most of the faculty, live in the
college. The students have access
to the teachers at need, outside Of
class as we'll as in class.
