Miss Jane Meade Wech's lecture on the
"Causes of the War of 1922 on Friday after
noon. The lecture was given in the Hall of
Philosophy. The murmur OF Minnehaha
flowing through Glen Vincent is a pleasing
accompaniment to whatever is going on under
the low dome of its roof, and the breeZes come
in on all sides to keep it delightfully."- cool.
Last Sundays shower was the last one that
will ever cause dampness there for the roof
is now water-tight
Dr. r. S. Macarthur is a tall and fine-look-
ing gentlemen with little of the typical
Englishman about him, and his ability to
interest and hold an audience is very marked.
He is robust hearty, and full of anecdote,
which he enjoys even in the telling, but this
is not all his power. He says things in an
epigrammatic way that is most suggestive, and
the thought fixes itself III the mind. Genius
he described as ''an infinite capacity for pains
taking work, and that "good health is at the
bottom of great deal of success"
The sanitary condition of Glen Echo is now
excellent. Not case of malaria has been

through pipes. The sewerage system is also
completed to the river, and the pipes run
under the canal, which already has water
running in its channel. Very soon the little
steam launches will be able to carry passen-
gers on the canal to Glen Echo. There are
good board walks all over the grounds
