Senator Gerald Nye
 Speaks Here Sunday
Munitions Industry Chairman to Describe "The Forces
 That Make for War" at Second Church Forum

The Honorable Gerald P. Nye, North Dakota's able senator, bril- liant speaker and the noted chair man of the special committee inves- tigating the munitions industry, will be the speaker at the forum of the Second Congregational church on Sunday evening, December II at 7:30 o'clock. His subject will be "The Forces That Make for War"
 Because of his record as chairman of the munitions investigation com- mittee, and the fight he is making for an adequate neutrality bill, the Honorable Gerald P. Nye has be- come the most widely publicized member of the United States serate.
 Though a cousin of the late Bill Nye, Senator Nye does not take a humorous view of the uncomfortable truths which the Nye committee have developed about the munitions makers.
 One of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon an American is the Cardinal Newman award for distinguished American service. At exercises held at the University of Illinois last year, Senator Nye was

If the Christmas holidays are as

there will be little cause to wonder
If our debs are looking thin and

when every one wishes to pay honor
unto those to whom honor is due.
Just to illustrate typical day in
q debutante's life, let's take the case
of debutante Jacqueline Meredith.
Her social day Friday began with
the luncheon given for Elinor Gud-
ger. From there she rushed home to
dress in time to assist at the debuts
of both Jane Rust and Marjorie
Sherley, evidently attempting to
confound Natures law that one can
not be in two places at once. After
this magnificent feat Jackie" at

at the ball of nations as we'll as to

the state of the elements conspired
against her and she had to forego
the ball. Please note-this Is
