weeks has been bristling with Ex-
temporaneous Speech topics.
“National News—President Roos-
evelt’s western trip—what did he
do? What did he say? Did he
stay inside the borders of the
United States? If not, where did
he go and why? Did he confine
himself to discussion of strictly
national affairs, or did he break
over and talk about foreign rela-
tions? This leads to foreign news.
‘‘Foreign News—What did the
non-intervention committee do, if
anything? What division showed
up In the committee? What was
the position of France? Of Eng-
land? Of Italy? Of Russia?
Why shouldn’t this committee be
called an “Intervention” instead
of a “non-intervention” commit-
tee? How Is the war going in
Spain? ,How is the war going in
the far East? What sort of Com-
mittee on International Relations
is the United States now partici-
pating in? Who is representing
the United States and what man-
ner of man is he, and what ex-
perience in such affairs has he f
previously had? Keep track of j &onic school at the lodge hall, andj

eligibility to play football for the
Cooper Bulldogs was overruled on
Tuesday night as members of fhe
district executive committee met
in Paris. The star Cooper fullback
was declared eligible to play for
the third time this season.
The protest, said to have been
entered by Supt. Barker of Honey
Grove, was shepherded In the com-
mittee by Supt. Frank Morgan, of
Commerce, who in addition to his
activity in the committee also
serves as district chairman. The
new evidence, said to have consist-
ed of statements from Roy B

proved by information Mr. Hen-
derson had given Supt. R. L
Stephenson In a letter last week.

the third entorod in five weeks, as
they were not officially notified of
the meeting until about 5 o'clock

Morgan Tuesday afternoon but
that he was out visiting other

To elevate the standards of wo-

business and professional women.
To bring about a spirit of cooper-
