"INDIA IS GREAT BRITAIN'S FULCRUM'
Y. M. C. A. HAS DONE GOOD WORK IN EAST.
Lord Curzon Says Indian Interpretation of Christ Will be Warmer Than Our Own.
Lord Curzon said recently: "India is increasingly the fulcrum of the British Empire." I come to you with the assertion that spiritually and religiously India is one of the great fulcrums of the world. When we are considering the world's resources, we recognize that the great contribution of India will forever be a religious contribution We find that the children of Buddha dominate Asia, but I believe that when the men of India find Christ and understand Christ they will interpret him with a sympathy richer than our own and will minister to the whole of Asia with a wonderful appreciation of the depth and righteousness of our common universal Christian ity.
"In reaching out to influence those who are certain to dominate the new India, the Association has gone just in time, for there is developing at this moment the spirit of a new national life, and on the part of students of profound inquiry. As these students press forward hungry for education, there come with them to the cities, the foes of civilization and Christianity seeking at the most critical time absolutely to check their aspirations and to kill their hopes. The forms of vice are striving to preclude absolutely the youth of India from growing into great citizens, so the Association by putting buildings in the cities of India and Ceylon at this time will plant in them the opportunities for development and moral uplift. In Madras two Hindu students were heard discussing Jesus Christ, and one asked the other, "How do you think Jesus Christ would come into the room?" He said, "I think he would come just the way L. P. Larsen, our secretary, comes." This was the embodiment of the character of Christ in that man and in that building.
“As I go about through the cities the missionaries, Indian Christians, business men and officials say, ‘When are the North American Associations going to send us a secretary? If you will send us but one man and give us a third of the cost of the building, we will give another third and the government will give the third portion. Go to the North American Associations and tell them they have the men, they have the money, they have the method, and ask them to give us these and we will do the rest.’ The Mayor of Calcutta said to me as I was about to come to this country, ‘Tell the North American Associations, that of the many gifts from North America to India, the greatest is the Young Men’s Christian Association. We had to look to you for this organization.’ Sir Andrew Fraser, the ruler of eighty million in Bengal, India's greatest province, who was President of the Calcutta Association, said publicly that when his duties as Governor proved too heavy, when he would not have time to serve as President of the Calcutta Association, he would have to resign as Governor of Bengal. And wher the Earl of Minto came into office as Governor-General, he was so impressed with the necessity of this work and the desirability of the members of his cabinet understanding it, that he invited every Cabinet Minister, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and the head of the Supreme Court to dinner and spent the entire evening at the White House of India, in order that he might lay on them the burden of co-operating with the North American Associations in building up the Association movement in every one of the capitals of 'the Empire.'”
The above address was given at a meeting arranged by Mr. Mott, and held at the White House at the invitation of President Taft. This was the meeting to which he referred in his address at the University this fall. Mr. Carter has been national secretary of India and one of the leaders of Association work, both in the United States and the Orient.
He gave a series of talks here at the University in the spring of 1910.
FROM OTHER COLLEGES
At the University of Colorado, members of the Alumni Association organized a foot ball team and played the varsity a regular game. In the first half of the contest, the ball was in the territory of the varsity team almost all the time, but in the last part of the game the training of the present day men told on the former players and they defeated the Alumni by the score of 11 to 0.
The members of the faculty at the University of Oklahoma, are required to report to the dean's office on the attendance of the members of their classes in much the same way that is being contemplated here. The first report was due last Saturday and about twenty-five of the faculty were behind time and some of the reports were not in on the following Monday.
The girls at the University of Nebraska have organized a rooters club of their own and are putting on stunts in the bleachers at the foot ball games.
The members of the Glee Club at the University of California are instructing the rooters in the bleachers in singing their new football songs
The students who room at the dormitory, known as the "dorm rats" at the University of Colorado held their annual smoker last Friday night. Boxing bouts. rooster fights, hand wrestling, a battle royal, smokes, speeches and a glorious feed, made the affair an unusual success.
The football team at the University of Mississippi will go on a tour of Arkansas and Texas extending for several days. Three games will be played, all in the course of seven days.

A two-column criticism of Elizabeth N. Barr's book, "Hell Up to Date," appeared in last Sunday's Philadelphia Item. The criticism is emphatically favorable and compliments the Topeka authoress in no slight terms the 'first water, and any statesman who can refrain from frequently laughing aloud at its contents, must belong to some race we are not familiar with." and with a generous

When the Ill-Fitting Stocking "Pleads Guilty"
"Givethedevil his due"
Bad shoes are not always to blame for bad feet. Not all the corns and bunions, tiring and aching feet, "drown" soles and ingrowing nails are caused by bad shoes. The ill-fitting stocking must please equally to much foot murder,
A stocking too tight in the foot may choke the circulation, bind the toes together, and bend
them under. A stocking too thick in the foot may cause the shoe to feel too small. A stocking too thin may bring you a blister from shoes that would not rub if the stocking were fitted right. A darned stocking makes a corn, a seamed stocking made of leather, or a flat stocking in the stocking is poisonous, or not fast color, all feet troubles are made worse. One reason why we call our stockings
Wunderhose
is their wonderful comfort, due to their being knitted on machines that respect the shape of the body.
wonderful comfort, due to their being knitted on machines that respect the shape of the human foot. At the toe and heel especially **Oakhidehoes** are knitted with extreme care for correct shape—not too tight nor too loose—just "cosy and comfy." Made in several weights, you can fit them to your favorite shoe. As for the dye, it is not only pure and non-poisonous, but "overlasting."
