ON election day a large body Of
graduate students who had been at

they were not qualified voters. as they

that they had no intention of estab

The court upheld the election
stating:
The mere presence Of students at
the college town is not sufficient to
entitle them to vote there. Their resi-
dence must be bona flde, with no
intention to return to their parental

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
By DIR. MEHRAN X. THOMSON.

We want to live again because We
love life. and because we are afraid of
death, We shudder at the thought of
passing forever from the scene of ac-
ton. Thomas Huxley, toward the
close of his life, wrote to his friend
Morley: 'It is a curious thing that
find my dislike to the thought of ex-
tinction increasing as I get older and
near the goal. 1t flashes across me at
all sorts of times, and with sort of
horror that in 1900 I shall probably
than did in 1900. I had sooner be in
hell a great deal--at any rate. in one
of the upper circles where the climate
and company are not too trying"
Many find the present life immense
lv worth while. Others endure life.
They are few. indeed. who actually
desire extinction. We often talk flip
PANTY of death. but when it comes 10
a show down we are glad to be alive.
preservation is the first law of
life.
Life here and now Is matter of
beginnings. We start many projects
which we cannot complete in the brief
span of years that falls to us. Our
fourscore years and 10 are like fhe
instantaneous flash of the camera as
compared with the life of the stars.
A mans life is not only short. II is
also narrow and thin. We want to live
again because we crave fuller, richer
life than the one that now is. The
pursuit of happiness in this life leaves
us out of breath as 1t tantalizingly
eludes our grasp. Cruel oppression
and rank injustice mock our ideals.
The poor. half-starved Indian who
found the wolf too frequently near his

dreamed and longed for A happy hunt

cause we believe that the other life
will give us what we now lack. We
are all looking for the happy hunting
ground of our unfulflled desires.

Investing in Personality.


The other day I was reading an
article about a plan to save money
through building and loan associa.
tions. The writer explained just how
could in 33 years build up an estate
that would provide a steady income
of $40 a month.
When reading this plan the idea
came TO me that people are usually
more careful to plan definitely for
financial security in the sunset years
than for other things that are quite
a. important to happiness, like health,
friendship and cultivated personal
ity. BY the last.named element
mean personal charm that lasts
through the years. a mind enriched by
rearing and observation: in short, all
that goes to make the difference he
tween person who is Stunned or
dutifully tolerated and one who is
loved and appreciated more sincerely
as the years go h..
When a person invests time and
money in health and friendship he
need not wait for years to enjoy his
dividends because they enrich his life
day by day. Sometimes 1t is Just as
hard to find time to take daily exercise
or do a friendly act AS il is tn pay
ones monthly installment in the build
ing and loan society. but somehow one
feels impelled to meet the financial
obligation regularly, while ones duty

And when these personal considera-
tions have been put off time and again
for years. one finds with dismay that
health is gone, old friendships have
cooled and one has lost the talent for
making new ones.

material of the season. and to any
woman who asks advice concerning
the material of her new evening frock
| say by all means velvet.
Save for most informal wear the
tailored evening frock seems to have
been banished, but there is one little
tailored detail that persists-this is
the straight stitched belt that is seen
on so many of the new evening frocks.
It is chosen. no doubt because it is
such an appropriate vehicle for the
ieweled buckle.
There was nothing at all hodge

mind. IT was. in fact, one of the most
charming ] have seen this season. yet
it was made from a short length of
one sort Of material and a short length
of another Of different color. The two
