charge of the Baby Conference of the
Agricultural and Livestock show to be
held here next week, there seems to be
some misunderstanding as to the ex-

of the conference are specific in re-
quiring the baby to be examined by
two physicians, two specialists of eye,
ear. nose and throat, and two den-
tists. Examination by only one phy-
sician, one dentist and one specialist
will not suffice, as the rule requiring
the entrant to be examined by two of
each will be rigidly enforced and if
this regulation is not complied with
the entrant will be debarred.

It b eMabliahed, under the most fa-
vorable circumstances and that it
should not be handicapped at the very
Nart “with such a cloud upon its ex-
btcoce as the recent controversy would
place upon it forever.” The Star-Tele-
gram urges that the co-operation of
the people of West Texas and the Pan-
handle is necessary to the college's
suoceas and that it would need the
support of the West Texas and Pan-
handle Senators and Representatives.
"The truth is,’’ our Fort Worth con-
temporary says. “If we must speak
plainly, that the West Texas A. 4 M.
was altogether too much politics from
the very start, whereas it should not
have been in politics at all. If the
school were to be built at Abilene or
elsewhere under present conditions, it
would always be in politics and for a
long time would remain a pariah among
the state Institutions.” Under all the
considerations, the Star-Telegram urges,
and its opinion coincides with ours,
that it is to the best interest of the
whole state, of the institution itself
and *Mn the best interest of Abilene
even" to repeal the law for the present
and "start over again with a clean
slate.”

The Literary department of the Wo-
men’s Shakespeare Club held its first
; meeting of the year Thursday afternoon
at the home of Mrs. G. W. Ballard on
North Bolivar street when business
matters of importance were discussed.
By an unanimous vote, it was decided
that the Literary’ Department would
dispense with the literary programs
arranged for the year and devote the
regular meetings to Red Cross work un-
der the direction of the club president,
Mrs. E. D. Criddle. The literary pro-
gram for the afternoon was md given
but the afternoon was spent discussing
I way and means for the development to
accomplish the most good in the Red
Cross work. A social hour was spent
at the close of the business session dur-
ing which refreshments were served to
the members of the department and

“Our coming together for the wock
of the eicli'et-nth year brings renewed
the hearts of every member of
Woman’s Shakespeare club. To
new members we extend a most
. welcome and we trust that
each onn may find in this organization
1 distinctive place for helpfulness;
some very dear faces are absent; some
have moved from the city, others out
of several considerations cannot be
with us. These we shall miss, yel
longingly we shall remember. Ever
alive to her opportunity and her duty,
the club has responded loyally and
generously to every call made by the
different organizations. The club pur-
chased at a cost of 836 and presented
to our High school two busts—Shakes-
peare and Robert E. Lee. Our Red
Cross benefit enabled us ?o pay to Miss
Lee Williams, chairman of the Red
Cross work, the sum of 850. We also
paid a small amount to be used for
creating an interest in the preserva’ion
of birds and hava contributed to other
calls which were made during the
year. For the benefit of our new mem-
bers 1 may say that our club, as such,
limits its outside activities to active
work in the City Federation. We need
ah our women and we feel that you
need the club. There has been seme
talk of disbanding the club And doing
Red Cross work exclusively. I have
studied tins question fronKdifferent an-
gles. We are all vitally concerned.
Some if us have given members jf our
faini v to the cause. Try as best we
can as we go about our daily work, our
dear ones in I he war bring a depress-
ing sadness into our lives. I for one
need Hie club more than ever before,
especially the social half hour, yet as

The club will hold the business meet-

NOTHING ELSE QUITE SO PITIFUL.
There is something infinitely pitiful
to me about the unfilled desires of an
old man or woman.
Nothing in the world wrings my
heart strings quite so sorely.
A child’s unfilled desires are touch-
ing. I can never see a child, who wants
some toy or some treat without want-
ing to play the fairy godmother and
gratify him. Children are so eager.
They want things, even unimportant
things, so harC ”
But the Bathos -of the disappointed
child is nothing to that of the old min
or woman who is nearing the
ney’s end with some unsatlfied
