JOKE COLUMN
Mary Vail Andrees, Only Woman
to Receive Distinguished Serv-
ice Medal, Heads Party.
Dissatisfied with uneventful civilian
life, after two years’ vivid experience
as workers abroad in the world war,
a party of young women, led by Miss
Mary Vail Andrees, of New York City,
have just gone to the Near East,
m
MISS MARY VAIL ANDREES,
Distinguished Service Heroine Who
Now Goes to Near East.
where nearly a million people are
suffering from disease and starvation.
Miss Andrees had returned to this
country after serving for the Red
Cross, but when she read of the sad
plight of the Armenians, she at once
offered her services to Near East Re-
lief, the former American Committee
on Armenian and Syrian Relief, whicn
already has saved thousands of lives
in Western Asia. Miss Andrees is the
only American woman war worker
who was awarded the Distinguished
Service Medal by Congress. Most of
the other members of her party like-
wise served with honor for the Red
Cross and other war service organi-
zations.
Among the other members of the
group are the Misses Frances and
Betty Anderson of New Canaan, Conn.,
who were decorated with the Croix de
Guerre by the French Government;
Miss Margaret Milne of Washington,
D. C., who was a member of the
Hoover Relief Commission for Ru-
mania, and Miss Alex Sidney, an Eng-
lish woman who served for three years
with the British Relief Commission in
Serbia. Miss Doris Nevin, another
member of the party, is a daughter
of the late Ethelbert Nevin, the com-
poser.
Col. William N. Haskell, commis-
sioner to the Near East for the Paris
Peace Commission and official repre-
sentative of the Near East Relief, has
cabled that the relief workers now in
the field are overwhelmed by the mag-
nitude of their task. Col. Haskell says
800,000 Armenians will starve before
the next harvest unless they are given
aid and 120,000 orphan children face
death from hunger and exposure.
Thousands of refugees are daily be-
ing brought to the relief centers from
the deserts.

OLD STUDENTS
Frank Herndon and Irwin
Soyars, former Normal students,
were among the visitors here
Thursday.
$ ^ ^
Messrs. Woodson, Burkholder,
and Goodman were holding a
conservation while a. Senior and
Freshman were standing near.
Freshman: ‘ ‘Who are those
men?”
Senior: “They are Normal
teachers.”
In a Few minutes Mr. Smith
approached the faculty triangle.
Freshman: “Well, I guues if
that man is not a Normal
teacher too, he soon will be one. ”
BASE BALL?
We might begin to get used
to the “term,” for soon Nor-
mal will see one of the fastest
teams that she ever had. We
have material that can’t be heat.
Rhode sleeps with his eye on
3d base. While Boerner swears
he will he a developing pitcher.
And don’t forget that we have
a Basket-Ball team, both girls
and boys. Both are hard to beat.
Neither have been scored upon.
Say, this means for every one
to wake up and bust—I mean
boost the things that make the
social life of the Normal. It D
worth while.
Sentimental Youth: “Do you
knw darling, I used to kiss the'
very stamps you sent me, because
I knew t^iey had touched your
sweet lips?”
Unsentimental Maid: “Oh,
Jack! And I used to damp them
on dear old Fido’s nose.”
