of not one—but two Masters of
Ceremonies. The famous team of
"Frisco" Bray and Jack White will
attempt to hold the fun and laugh
ter down to level of bedlam. Amid
the decorations, to lie extravagantly

cious, tempting-hot cakes and pies
which promise to be secretly made
behind locked doors from menues

families for generations and genera

Hold State Convention
The. United States World Federal

annual state convention in Greens
boro, on October Iti 17.
The main purpose of the Federal
ists, who claim chapters in hundreds
of colleges throughout the nation,
is In encourage a reorganization of
the 1'.N.0., in order to make it a
true world government. They ad
vocate. in this reorganization, relin
ipiishment of national sovereignty
as the only reasonably sure way of
maintaining peace. The liberal as
pect of the Federalist movement
has gained for it an ever increasing
number of members and sympathi

ning foreign correspondent and
authority on Hussia, will speak for
the Federalists in Aycock Audi
torium at Woman's College at eight

ideals as the Federalists stand for,
deserve at least :i hearing.
