OEGANIZE
The Execiitivo Committee of the
Alumni Association and the Com-
uiirtee on Organization of the Alumni
Association met in joint session at the
offices of the StamUird Itealty and Secur
ity Compauy in BurlingtoD, N. C., on
ihe evening of April 24 for the purpose
of considerhig the matter of organizing
au association of the Alnmni and former
students of the College who are now
residents of the county. The matter was
fully and enthusiastically discussed, aud
it was formally decided to effect such an
oi-giinization. In view of this decision
plans are being made to call together
all the Alumni and “old guard'’ of the
county foi- a luncheon aud a “rousing
good time*’ on the evening of Thursday,
May IT, this luncheon to be served at
some suitable place in Buiiington. Of
ficial notice will be given by card in
due time.
It is known that well beyond one hun
dred persons can be located in Burl
ington and in the county who have at
one time l)een students at Elon, and it
is thought that this number will easily
reach one hundred and fifty. Thus it
is .-\ident that we have an opportunity
to form a very strong and active associa
tion here, an association that will make
itself felt in its enthusiastic support of
the line program Alma iVIater is under
taking to put on and will put on. Aud
in addition to the service the association
will be able to render the College, it
will bring to us all an occasional season
of good fellowship; it will meali to many
of \is the renewing of our youth if not
the return of our “Sophomorical wis
dom.”
The Committee wishes all who read
this notice to se^ aside the evening of
May 17, and plan to be 011 hand for the
luncheon. If you don’t come, you will
be sorry you didn't. This is fair warn
ing to all that there will be “something
doing” in Burlington that night.

Chairman Executive Committee.
Slides Are Shown At
Y.W. Meeting Sunday
Prof. Hook Entertains With Views of
Japanese and Porto Rican
Conditions.
At the regular meeting of the Y.
C. A. held Sunday evening. A]>ril 22.
Prof. A. L. Hook gave a series of stei“e-
optieon slides picturing the life and con-
dirioDS of the different social chisses in
Japan and Porto Rico.
The first set of slides was from Japan.
Thcsp showed the home conditions of
some of the poorer classes, the working
conditions of Jajtanese girls among the
laboring classes, and the educational
conditions. One slide of es])ecial beauty
was that of a falls in the hills of Japan.
Two slides which were of great interest
to Elon students were those picturing
the school building in which Misses Ito
and Ohara attended school and the school
of Miss Stacey, who is supported by the
Christian church of Burlington.
The second set of slides consisted of
scenes fi-oni Porto Rico. These show-
wl scenes from nature, street scenes,
homes of both wealthy and poor, the
natives themselves, and the missionaries
and their families. These pictures were
taken by Mr. \V. P. Minton last summer
during his visit to Porto Rico with Di-.
0. Atkinson. Several of the pictui’es
included Dr. Atkinson. And one picture
'Pas of liev. D. P. Barrett, his family,
Jind some friends. This last one was of
*^ecinl interest because it included the
picture of the two Misses Barrett who
students here,
ihese slides served to show what a
opportunity there is 0T>en to mis
sionaries who will go into these coun
tries and help the natives develop them-
®^b'es along religious, educational and
industrial lines.

I'he Psi])heliau Society gave a very
hel])ful and entertaining program Mon
day evening.
The fii’st number on the progi’am was
a reading, “Fair Warning,” by iliss
Mary Graham Lawrence. This was very
enjoyable and humorous, for the character
of a small boy was well im])ersonated.
Miss Doris McLean I’ead a paper on
“Lost and Found.” This paper ^brought
amusement, as local touches were added
to the Lost and Found list.
The society enjoyed an original dia
logue by Misses Alice Weber and Annie

hereafter of Mother Elon will be a pleas
ant one.

added much to the program. An intei-est-
ing paper on the “Life and Works of
Edgar A. Guest,” was read by Miss

poems, “Mother’s Watch.*’

OLD CLOTHES WILL SAVE
lY LIVES IH
Send Cast-Off Winter Garments to Near
East Belief—Destroy Moths
and Save Lives.
Housewives, clean out your clothes
closets! Send all available warm cloth
ing to the Near East Relief. Save hu
man lives in the battle of Christianity
against Mohammedanism.
'^riiis is the message sent to all homes
in North ('arolina on the eve of the
Near East Relief “Bundle Day,” May
1st, by Dr. E. C. Brooks, State chair
man for the clothing drive this year of
the Near East Relief. Those who have
n’t already sent their cast-oif winter
clothing to a Near East Relief collecting
agency, are asked to do so at once.
Dr. Brooks is asking North Carolin
ians to contribute pounds of
warm, usuable cast-off clothing at this
time. 'I’his. it is estimated, will save
human lives next winter. The un
fortunate Christian sufferers of the
Bible lands have nothing but burlap hags
and tiour sacks to keep out the cold of
a winter closely approximating that of
our New England States.
Last winter many women, children and
old men were found who had dragged'
themselves for miles, suffering from acute
rheumatism or pneumonia, simply from
lack of clothing. Others, whose lives
could ha\e been saved by sufficient wafm
clothing, just fj’oze to death.
Dr. Brooks asks that all clothing be
sent to the local Near East Relief chair
man or sent to the Near East Relief
Clothing Warehouse at Raleigh. Many
schools are being used as receiving sta
tions, pupils being engaged in the un
selfish task of collecting garments for
these unfortunate sufferers.
Governor Cameron Morrison has is
sued a i>roclamation declaring May 1st
“Bundle Day” in North Carolina, and
asking all true Tarheels to send all of
their surplus clothing to this great hu
manitarian cause. Josephus Daniels,
honoraary State chairman, and Col.
George IL Bellamy, State chairman are
actively assisting Dr. Brooks in this
drive.
Dr, Brooks and the State Committee
are especially anxious to obtain as many
as possible of coats, trousers, dresses,
sweaters, wool gloves, mittens, blankets,
boots and shoes (should bo tied in pairs),
shopworn garments, sheets (for ban
dages), new cloth or garments, and any
heavy warm clothing in vvhich there is
still some wear.
'L'he Near East Relief, on account of
the rigors of an Armenian winter, can
not use laces, silks, veils, chiffons, even
ing clothes, satin slippers, muslin under
wear, high-heeled shoes, straw or frame
hats, and silk stockings.
One of the most hilarious and thor
oughly enjoyed stag parties of the year
occurred Saturday night. Ajiril 21, fioni
10:00 to 1:30 o'clock. It was held in
the college ])Ower house. This had been
well planned and came off in great style.
After the guests. se\-enteen in number,
wej’e assembled the program started b>
several selections by the “Two More ’
orchestra, whose wonderful talent is well
known on the campus, being more often
heard than seen as it usually works at
night. The guests were then favored by
a dual clog by the famous “power house
doggers”, Messrs. Utley and Goins. They
did themselves great credit in this re
spect.
The most important part of the pro
gram, and no doubt the one most en
joyed, came next. This was the refresh
ments. A bountiful supply of club sand
wiches. banana sandwiches, and pineapple
sandwiches, along with plenty of good
]>uuch wei’e served in the first course,
'i'he orchestra then rendered a few* more
beautiful selections, followed by an edi
fying solo entitled “Old ]\IacDonald Had
a Farm," by Mr. Goins. Following this
cake in abmulance was sei-ved, and then
delicious candy was passed. The com
pany then adjourned to the station to
meet the 1 :30 train w'here several lusty
ydls were given for the “Ball.” *
Those ])resent were: McAdams, An
drews, Thomas, Utley, James, Goins, A.

The Professor passed him
immediately
TT was the first question in the course on Shav-
'*■ ing—“Why is the handy cap not a handicap?”
and the student replied, ‘ ‘Because it can’t get lost. ’ ’
He referred, of course, to the Williams’
Hinged Cap which you see pictured here. This
invention puts an end for all time to the nuis
ance of hunting for lost caps. As you see, the
Williams’ cap is hinged on. It’s the only col
lege cap that you can’t lose.
Williams’ Shaving Cream is as pleasantly
better as the new cap.
For Williams’ is the fast
est beard softener known
and, in addition, it is of
distinct benefit to the
skin. Try giving your
face the wholesome care
of Williams’. It makes
you look and feel your
best.
