1T WAS LADIES' DAY
TUESDAY AT ROTARY

No wonder |. B. Koch, past preSl-
dent and chairman for the day, had
such good Rotary meeting Tues
day. Being mayor gives him addi-
tional power to make everyone do as
told; then the presence of three score
ladies' gave him inspiration.
Any guy could have done as well,
similarly situated.
He started off by having Rotary
ann May Pearson lead 'em all sing
ing. Then the lesser half of the
Pearson menage, Gus himself, re-
peated in Swedish what he told the
crown prince of Sweden at Grand
Canyon last week. Gus interpreted
it into classic English, but nobody
took much stock in the translation.
Rotaryann Amy ALbers was SER
geant-at-arms pro tenn and collected
the fines imposed right and left and
in all the other directions.
Special applause was given Mrs.
Ploussard, Charles mother, for grac-
ing the affair with her presence.
Rotaryonn Rose Babbitt gave a
summary Of the misdeeds in the past
life Of Tom Mccullough, and Rotary
ann Althea Wilson of those in the
life of Male Pinkington. The two cul-
prits were thus publicly exposed be-
cause it was a part of the ritual of
their ascending that day to member
ship in the club. They were support
ed during the ordeal by their Rotary
aims, Marguerite and Nell. The fair
historians dated the birth of the cul-
prits so recently that one wondered
how they'd managtd to hatch up so
much deviltry in such short span of
years and have time left over to get
married. Perhaps the fact that both
were born and educated in Iowa and
Tom was with the engineers and
Male with the aviators during the
late foreign unpleasantness had
something to do with their speed. As
for their certain future in some peni-
tentiary, that is assured, considering
Tom is a life insurance and Male an
automobile man.
Then, after Milt Powers, another
past president, had been fined for
eating with his knife, and DR.. Mart
Fronske, the most recent past presi-
dent had delivered an eloquent talk
to the new members, encouraging
them to turnsfrom their evil ways by
following the teachings and precepts
OF Rotary, each of the noyices was
fined by Mr.. Koch to make him feel
at home.
Professor Walter Niles of Teachers
college, as a sort of month-later en-
core, was called on for a couple more
of his fine readings from James Whit
comb Riley.
DR.. F. A. Cotton, president of the
college, told of the most striking fea-
lures in three Rotary meetings ne
attended-two in Chicago and one IN
Philadelphia-during his recent trip
east
Rotaryann May Pearson led the wo-
men singing a ditty to the men, and
Male Pilkington led the men in an
other in response.
Then Mr.. Koch briefly sketched the
birth, of Rotary in Chicago in 1908,
announced that Billy Switzer is get
ting over his illness, and directed the
fellowship committee to take hlm
stack Of flowers.
President Ed Miller opened and
closed the meeting.
In addition to practically every 10
taryann, other guests were: Mrs.
Ploussard, Sr., Miss Helen Herring
ton, DR.. and Mrs. Niles. Judge Fred
Struckmeyer of Phoenix; Mrs. Harry
