Professional Finish
Marks ArmateurPla

A HIGH degree Of professional
finish marked the program
put on at The Playhouse Friday
and last night for the benefit
Of the Child Welfare Society,
although the cast was composed
Of amateurs. And there was
variety as well as interest in the
three playlets, 1.-THE Clod, Food, !"
and Waterloo" which made up
the evenings entertainment.
There was a "try-out'' on Thurs
day evening at the Walter Reed
Hospital, where the youthful
stars, Miss Elizabeth Hanna. Miss
Louise Ross Todd and Miss olyve
Graef. and their support were
given a genuine ovation: and the
aIl-too-brief run" closed last night
with a supper party and dance
which Miss Hanna gave for the
members of the cast.
The little auditorium Of The
Playhouse was filled for both per.
formances and the audience on
both occasions merited the adtec-
ttves smart" and brilliant" In
deed, box parties for either night
were very much ''the thing" and
many who went to aid the Child
Welfare Society remained to enjoy
a remarkably finished perform
ance. Foxhall Daingerfield, who
staged the production, has had
professional experience and, In
deed, acted with no less a person
age than Mrs. Fiske. But he had
amateur material to work with
and deserve great credit for the
way he whipped it into shape.
Miss Hanna had the leading role
in Food" with F. Marion Law
and Winant Johnston supporting
her. Miss Louise Ross Todd
played Mary in waterloo" to the
Sergeant of Edwin Trusheim, and
the Nora Of Miss Graef was sup
ported by Corporal Gregory played
by Hugh v. Tenant. Of the
British embassy.

SERVICE KEYNOTE FUTURE SUCCESS,
 SAYS ROTARY HEAD
Possession Of Wealth No Longer a Barometer
 Of Greatness

ST. LOUIS. June 23-The possession of wealth no longer constitutes the only barometer of success; the serv- ice ideal is gradually gaining ground. This was the keynote of a message to the convention of Inter national Rotary here today by Paul national Rotary here today from Paul P. Harris, founder of Rotary and president emeritus of Rotary International.
 The time when rich men are the big men is passing" said the mes sage. Greatness in future will de pend not upon what one has been able to get but rather on what one has been able to give.
 Opportunity to urge upon the business world the importance of adopting service as the basis of all professions and trades, is distinctly Rotary's. Rotary's peculiar forma- tion, one representative of each pro- fession and each line of trade, makes it prominently the best organization with which to effect the purpose. It is a large order.
 "The advent of Rotary marked an era when the long suppressed yearn- ings of business men for opportunity to share in spiritual leadership be- gan'to find realization. It has been a period of wonderful progress be- cause business men have made ideal ism practicable.
 "No worthy object can be gained without effort and the more seri- ously we view our undertaking, the more certain our accomplishment"

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., June 23.- The unificati of all synodical units of the Lutheran church G America has received an impetus during the last year that bids fair to a realiza- ton of the hope that the church be put under one head and known as one great denomination, according to a statement issued here by o. C. Michelman, former president of the Lutheran Students Association of America.
 All indications point to a com- plete unification within a short time,'' said MT. Michelman. 'The indications ward increased use of the American language and the unanimous adop- tion of the constitution of the Lu- theran Students Association of Amer lea. This document. indarsed by what is without doubt the most represen- tative body of Lutherans of all sy> nodical affiliations. proposes to af- ford means whereby Lutheran stu dents in America may consider their common problems in conformity with the common faith of the Lutheran church of America This latter body, the Lutheran church of America, is not real organization as yet, but it is an ideal toward which this stu dents group strives.

 Students In Two Bodies.
 "The student body Is composed of Lutherans of the two large Lutheran bodies, viz, the Synodical Confer ence and the United Lutheran Church in America. The former has in it's membership a few more than half of all Lutheran individuals in the United States.
 The student body may be attrib- uted to several movements. The Ma tional Lutheran Council began its activity with the American Relief Ad- ministration in the cantonments in the fields during and since the war. The Lutheran Brotherhood of Ameri- ca had huts for the men of the church regardless of the more particular sy- nodical utilization of the buddy, and in its effort to find employment for the vast machinery developed for war work, fell upon the idea of continuing working among tH, students of the Lutheran church at large.
