Roger W. Babson Firm Believer In Religion In Business American business has no more I inspiring personality than Roger W. Babson, internationally-known business commentator and invest ment adviser. An outstanding fea ture of his philosophy has been his life-long insistence on the im- 1 portance of religion in business. Born in 1875. reared in an old- i fashioned atmosphere of hard work and hustle on a farm in : Gloucester. Mr. Babson went to j the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Upon graduating in 1898, he turned iustinctively to financial and business activities, j His exertions, however, under- 1 mined his health; he contracted tuberculosis and he was sent West "as good as dead"! It was while he was convalescing from this dread malady that he worked out some of the possibilities and prob lems of business statistics. That was more than forty-five vears ago. Today his weekly statis tical and financial reports are read by thousands of businessmen and his research work is carried on by a large staff of workers. Mr. Babson founded Babson In stitute for men; and, in coopera tion with Mrs. Babson, developed Webber College for women, ? both nationally-known educational in stitutions. Here young men and women may concentrate more in the fundamentals and less on the frills of business More recently he hss completed the arrangements for another Col lege named ? Utopia" which is lo cated in Eureka, Kansas, the cent er of Mr. Babsons "Magic Circle" Here people of all ages may check their financial well-being much as at the Mayo Clinic they would check their physical well-being.

The "White Gyp sy" an operetta in two acts was presented by the grammar grade department of the Andrews Ele mentary school in the school audi torium Thursday night of last week. The main auditorium was packed to capacity and it was necessary to use the balcony for the overflow. An operetta given by the elementary school each year is always looked forward to ty the people of the community, and it is considered by many of them as the outstanding school acitivity of the year. The story of the "White Gypsy" is interesting. The curtain opens with a fiesta in progress in the forest. The Gypsies are reprimand ed for making merry while their Chief languishes in a dungeon, where he has been cast by the 'Kink', brother of the King of the Gyros, a white people, whose domain includes the forest. The Kink has seized the throne, driven the King from the palace, and locked the Princess in the tower. She escapes and flees to the Gypsy Camp, where she falls exhausted and unconscious. The young tribesman. Kon. induces her to stay with his people, disguised as a gypsy. Romany Rose befriends the Princess, but Jola casts jealous eyes upon her. Jola goes to the palace and steals the Kink's wig and crown. He becomes an object of ridicule, and loses his power over the Gy ros. He and his two Spies escape. He disguises himself as the Sultan of Duck and journeys to the Gyp sy camp to obtain a charm for his baldness Romany Rose penetrates his disguise, and he and his Spies are seized by the Gypsies and put in chains. As both Gyros and Gyp sies feel that they have been wronged by the Kink they join in a song of vengeance. The exiled King has established his court in the depth of the for est. He and his Attendants and Soldier arc off on a hunt, and Gypsies and Gyros mingle togeth er as they await their return. bring statistics to life, to instil a broader vision in businessmen, and to publicize the ups-and-downs of the business cycle.
