For the benefit of students enroll
ing at the Washington College of
Law since classes started three
weeks ago. a review of the work ac-
complished will be given, according to
announcement made yesterday by
Judge Mary O'Toole, acting dean.
The national scope of the college is

West Virginia, Vermont, Kentucky,
Arkansas, Michigan, Minnesota.
South Dakota, Iowa, New Jersey, In

list.
Organized primarily to enable
women to attain recognition in pro-
fessional, business and governmental
circles, the school has natural ap-
peal to women. At its inception 81
years ago, local law schools refused
to admit women to their classes and
it was through the untiring efforts
of Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey and
Miss Emma NJ. Gillett, founders of
the Washington College of Law, that
this barrier was removed. A co.
educational institution, both men
and women have achieved positions
of distinction in many fields after
receiving their degrees here.
Social activities have been re-
sumed, the first important event be-
ing tea given by members of Beta
and Zeta Chapters of Phi Delta

A Sermon for Today
BY Rev. John X. Gum
The Battle of Life.

Text: Endure hardness as a good
soldier"-II Tim 2:3.
To live is to fight. Some of us may
be poor fighters. Some of us may
straggle to the rear during the con-
fiict. But nevertheless, to live in this
world means waging a continual war
fare. From this warfare none of us
can escape. Not until mustered out
by death.
II we do our duty as good soldiers
we must fight and fight hard. For
the battle of life brings us into all
sorts Of difficulties and hindrances
that are not easy to overcome. We
sometimes wonder at this. we De-
come weary of the battle and wonder
why life should be so full of conflict.
A scientific writer makes this state
ment: Every definite" action is con-
iitioned upon a definite resistance,
and is impossible without it. We are
only able to walk because the earth
resists the foot, and are unable to
tread the air and water because they
deny the foot the opposition which
it requires. The bird and the steam
er are numbered by air and water. But
the bird with it's wings and the steam
er with it's paddle apply themselves
to this hindrance to their progress
and overcome it. Were not their mo-
ton INSTRUCTED, progress would be
impossible"
Think this statement through and
you will begin to see the reason for
the hindrances and obstacles that lie
in our path. The struggle we have
to make to overcome the things that
oppose and obstruct our way through
life. develops in us strength, courage
and self-reliance. They are stepping.
stones necessary to our progress.
After all. it is wise providence that
life has been made battle. If we had
no battles to fight we would win no
victories

Common Sense Needed
In Use of Depilatories

wish to remove the superfluous hair
so that new hair will not grow back
for months. there Is a hair depilatory
which must be melted over a flame
before 1t can be applied. There are
number OF different makes of this
product. but one should buy only the
best, for absolute purity of ingredients
Is essential where product is used
to open the pores of the skin.
The waxy cake is broken into pieces
and melted in a small pot. Brush
the surface from which the hair is
to be removed with a light busting
of talcum powder. Then. with
spoon which has been dipped into
the thick. warm mot hot) gum, spread
1t over the hair. Allow the gum to
become dry enough to catch hold of.
Hold one end of it between the fingers
and with a quick movement draw IL
from the skin. II you want to see
what you have removed in the way
OF superfiuous hair, roots and all. turn
the strip upside down and hold 1t
against the light. You will notice
the little hair bulbs attached to the
ends. This method has one excellent
advantage. II new hair does grow
back 1t will be lighter. finer and less
conspicuous, for its strength lies in
the little bulb you have weakened by
removing.

TN AMERICA no woman, no matter

tolerate the unattractiveness OF a
growth of superfiuous hair IL she
can destroy 1t. But beauty is often
only a matter of geography. What

Latin America, for instance, senorita

of her admirers If she has downy
black mustache on her upper lip.
You can destroy superf1uous mar
in any of a number Of ways. There
is no method, however, by which
roots can be infallibly destroyed in
one treatment. If you destroy only
the hair which grows from these roots
it will grow again. But here is where
the various methods differ.
Depilatories are usually in powder
form, although there are cream de-
pilatories now on the market. The
powder type of depilatory will dis
solve the superhuous hair Immediate
