While a numerous section of humanity watched their swift lingers, four girl students of the University of Washington last week beat other college girls in a typewriting contest in Chicago. High school and business college girls competed. Best of all was Dorothy Dow of Cleveland's West Technical High School who did 96 words a minute. Nevertheless the University of Washington girls' performances helped their professor of education, Dr. August Dvorak, toward fortune.

...treasury. The treasury is not likely to be chockfull, unless Methodist laymen fill it, before local conferences begin meeting and raising funds late this month. Never before has the Methodist Church been thus forced to scrimp. Three bishops of foreign areas were obliged, lacking passage money, to linger in the U. S., probably until Oct. 1 when payments will be made...
