The Henry W. Grady Literary
Society met at nine o’clock .Monday
morning, with an unusually large
attendance. After calling the
house to order the president asked
for extemporaneous speeches from
members of the society. Mr. Yar-
brough, an ex-member of the Texas
Legislature, was enthusiastically
called for. Mr. Yarbrough respond-
ed with an interesting talk. A male
quartet consisting of Messrs. \\ C.
Davis, V. (). Teddlie, A. L. Roark,
•ami T. S. Teddlie was soon arrang-
ed. and time passed far too quickly
for evert one greatly enjoyed the
selections given and wished for
more.
A debate upon the subject, '‘Re-
solved. That Women Should be
Granted Suffrage on Equal Terms
With Men." was then announced.
Two well known "ladies’ men,"
Messrs. A. H. Hraekeen and L. L.
Fritz, arose in defense of the
woman's side of the question, and
two other equally gifted orators,
Messrs. R. L. Newsome and K. L.
A
Mason defended the negative. Both
sides presented their arguments in
a forceful manner. The decision
of the judges was two to one in
favor of the negative, hut after the
decision had been rendered one of
the defenders of the negative arose
and stated that he was a suffragette
at heart and desired to be let alone
on the subject outside of the Grady
room.
Miss Alice Sigworth then read to
the great delight of all present, the
"Two Lovers.” A perfect storm of
applause followed and continued
until Miss Sigworth consented to
give a second number. She then
read a delightful little poem from
Eugene Field, which was also high-
ly appreciated. The boys all hope
that Miss Sigworth can find it pos-
sible to meet with the society quite
often and that she will honor them
again with some more selections.
After the program had been ren-
dered the president called the so-
ciety into business session for a few
minutes. Mr. Fine G. Bedford was
elected Sergeant-at-Arms to take
the place of Mr. Lon Henderson,
who has withdrawn from school.
Grady Booker was elected Repre-
sentative to the "Campus Chat."
Before adjourning Mr. Lackey, the
president, announced that all future
sessions would close promptly after
one hour’s duration.

HISS LOONEY ENTERTAINS
Are you better acquainted with
your fellow students this week than
you were last? I am sure you are,
if you went to the Y. W. C. A. Sun-
set Party Saturday evening. June
21st. As it was really a get-ac-
quainted party everybody wore his
name artistically pinned upon his
LATEST CONTRIBUTION
TO THE “CHAT”
The editor-in-chief was seen
sauntering in a more or less morose
or eomotose state of mind near the
rear of the Administration building
Wednesday evening. His state of
consciousness wa.s evidently due to
the slowness with which the staff
was producing copy for this week’s
"Chat." In a short time, he was
moving toward the "Chat” box,
Misses Janis Johnson. Lin y Lind-
say, and Miriam Flint of Ft. Worth
visited Miss Berta Mae Looney Sat-
mdav The visit was the occasion
of a delightful social in the Looney
home Saturday evening. A number
of the friends of the family were
present. and all enloved the occo-
-jon inimcrin«lv There were twelve
ouples present. The lawn was
lighted with Japanese lanterns ar-
tistically arranged. Just before tin-
hour came for the guests to leave,
a delicious ice course was served.
Last Wednesday Major Brine,
who is visiting his parents on a fur-
lough, was present at the chapel ex-
ercises. The student body called
for him to be presented and he gave
a verv interesting impromptu talk
on lessons of physical fitness that
the war has taught lie gave some
facts and figures from incidents
coming under his observation which
proved the necessity of more atten-
tion being given to the laws of sani-
tation and health. Major Bruce is
very modest in speaking of b'lnself,
but the "Cha*" reporter found out
from Dr Bruce, the Major’s father,
who naturally is not so reticent
about Ins son’s achievmcnts, that
Major Bruce has a service record of
which his family and friends may
well he proud. He served as sur-
geon with the army in Mexico be-
fore going to France. He left the
States with the .'Pith division as
captain of the Ambulance Corps,
lie soon was promoted to regimental
surgeon and later to assistant divi-
sional surgeon with the rank of
major. He served as field surgeon
at the front and voluntarily went
over the top with the combat troops
to render first hand aid to the bovs
who were wounded. For this and
other acts of heroism, the French
government awarded him the eroix
de guerre. He will be with his par-
ents a few days longer and the stu-
dent I fujy hopejj to have the oppor-
tunity of hearing him agitiP

GLEE aUB SINGS IN CHAPEL
An enjoyable program was ren-
dered by the College Glee club at
chapel last Thursday. Such old
songs as "Crossing the Bar.” “The
Battle Hymn of the Republic,” and
"The Old Folks at Home," were re-
ceived with much applause. It
seemed that the crowd was not will-
ing to let them go. there being an in-
sistent call for another rendition
after the program was completed,
when Major Bruce, who has been
discharged recently from the Ser-
vice. appeared on the scene. The
club was relieved of the necessity
of a response, and all ended well
with an interesting and enjoyable
talk from Major Bruce.
Prof. Downer has received a pub-
lication from France entitled
"Que’est-ce Que C’esf?" It is a per-
iodoeal published by American stu-
dents in a University at Toulouse.
This issue contains a picture of Rev.
Charles M. Collins, a Y. M. C. A.
man, who was pastor of the Presby-
terian church, U. S. A., of Denton,
and his son, CpI. Norman Collins,
who was a student of the Normal
college m the term of 1917. They

Dr. Bruce returned Tuesday from
El Paso where he had been on
business connected with the Normal
college. W hile there he crossed
over into Old Mexico to look about
the scenes of last week’s lighting.
As it was too late m the day for
him to obtain a passport, he was
accompanied by one of Uncle Sam’s
boys, who are patrolling the border.
He said that he supposed the reason
that a guard was sent with him was
that the officer in charge thought
he might ((implicate the internation-
al situation by exterminating a few
Villista bafidits.
