WOMAN GROWING BEARDS:
 ASSUMING DUTIES OF MAN

BERLIN, Aug. 7.-The women of the future may have longer boards than the bearded women of the cir GUS today, is the opinion of Dr. Ad- olph Heilbron, if they continue the invasion of mans domain of activi- ties.
 "As the woman exercises more and more the functions formerly belonging to man," Heinbron drites in the Berlin Morgenpost, "she also begins to assume a masculine growth of hair"
 "Heilbron cites Buckman, Brandt, Friedenthal and other anthropolo- gists as authority for his statement that there has been decided in- creased in the number of bearded wo- men and express the belief that fa- miles wherein generations of women bob their hair will develop bearded women as a parallel phenomenon.

Lads and Dads
Feast Together
FOURTH NUAL BANQUET
GIVEN AT ARMORY LAST
THURSDAY EVENING.

The fourth annual Fathers and
Sons banquet, held at the Armory,
Thursday, February 21st, was attend
ed. by three hundred and seventy-fve
men and boys. DR.. Moorhouse of Drake
University, the speaker of the even
ing, gave an intensely interesting
lecture on astronomy, illustrated by
sterioptican slides. His talk was en-
tirely lacking in technical details and
the illustrations added much to the eff
fectiveness of the details.
DIR. Moorhouse, who is one of the
most noted astronomers of the United
States, told of recent experience of
his own, in which he travelled entirely
across the continent to the Catiline
Island off the coast of California, to
view an eclipse which would last for
only few minutes and be seen only
if the weather were clear. He told
of the many details of the trip and
the hardships the company of astron-
oners underwent in order to see the
phenomenon, and of the vast crowds
of people who assembled on the Is
land on the day of the eclipse and
how the day turned out to be cloudy
and all their efforts were in vain. He
spoke interestingly of the keen dis
appointment and the philosophlc
manner in which it was accepted by
the scientists. His talk was interest
ing to the highest degree and his Ian
guage was such that, unlike many
scientific lectures, his lecture couic
be understood by all who heard him
Donald Inglis ably filled his posi-
ton of POSTMASTER and his introduc-
tory speeches were clever and witty
A. d. Stewart talked to the Lads
giving them advice as to type of lac
ne considered a credit to the com
munity. Jack Wilson proposed a
toast to the Dads telling what the
word dad means and asking the dads
for their comradship. Music for ths
evening was furnished by an orch
estra under the direction of Mr.. Bitt-
rich.
The meal served by the members
of the Girls Club was prepared by
the various women of the community
and was enjoyed by everyone who at
tended the banquet. 1t was very wei
prepared and the service was excel
lent. Mrs. L. P. Larson was ir
charge, assisted by the women of the
churches of the city. The hall wa:
decorated by the members of the Hi-l
Club OF the high school and the ban
quet was largely managed by this or
ganization.
; 1t is believed that the banquet wa'
a success from a standpoint of al
/ evenings entertainment if not from
the standpoint of record breaking
attendance. The promoters OF th'
banquet are satisfied with the out
come of the entertainment and wisi
to take this opportunity to extend t.
