Some years ago the: East Siders van
quished all their foes and wept for more
worlds to conquer. -.
In those days they produced some men
who have since made a record for them
selves and for the university in interstate
debate.
Drake has never been, defeated in inter-
collegiate debate, and was on the. gopher
team last, year that defeated Chicago and
Michigan. Lende made, a, na1ne for him
self when he helped defeat Iowa, last year
and it was said that~fner student oratory
was never heard in Ann Arbor. than he
produced there two years ago. - -.
South high had a thoroughly trained and
strong team last year and it is said she
will be fully as, strong this yer. Her last
years team are in the university now and
no doubt will be heard from before they
are seniors. .,
Central's large number of Students to
choose from and her systematic, and thor
ough work in oral English. will make her
a formidable opponent. Her team will do
creditable and finished work whether they
win or not. -..
The preliminaries will soon begin in all
the districts and reports of their progress
will be made from time, to time.

WORK OF REROOFING 1T HAS BEEN
COMPLETED.
Probably Former Echo Effects Will
Not Be Again Heard-To Restore
Gallery to Public Use

The work Of reroofing Statuary Hall at
the Capitol has been completed, the scaf-
folding is being removed from the interior
of the hall. and when Congress assemblies
Monday this ancient room, which has be-
come gallery of statuary, will have re-
sumed fits normal appearance.
The active work of reroofing this old
section of the Capitol began shortly be-
fore the convening of Congress At that
time 1t was estimated that it would not be
completed until me middle or last of Janu-
ary. but Acting Architect Woods says that
the iron works people have made special
effort to hurry things up.
The ornamental design of the new ceiling
was executed by the late Thomas Hugh
Walter and conforms to the general de-
sign wrought out by this architect for the
extension of the east front of the main
portion of the Capitol The new ceiling is
In panels, the designs being executed in
plaster relief work The work of casting
these designs has been carried on night and
day at the Capitol since the work began.
No More Echo Effects.
1t is believed that the new ceiling will
not produce the echo effects which were
such an interesting feature of the old hall,
and from which it was called the whisper
iiis eaheiS. Inc oio ceiiing was perfectly
smooth, the ornamentation being in oil. 1t
is believed that the smooth dome shape
caused the peculiar phenomenon, but
whether this is really the fact cannot be
ascertained until the hall has been cleared
and the acoustic qualities tried
IL the echoes are absent however the
public will be somewhat compensated by a
plan which Mr.. Woods has in mind to re-
store to public use the 12-foot gallery
which encircles the hall, and which has
been used for many years as a storage
quarter for the books of the House library
1t was from this gallery that the public
observed the proceedings of the House of
Representatives which used to assemble In
this hall. Circular stone stairways which
are inclosed in monasterial fashion lead
both from the floor and basement into this
gallery In the modernization of the Can
1tol 1t is the intention to preserve this his
toric hall as nearly possible In its orig
fnal design.

FATHER AND son RESIGN.
Robert s. Chiffon. Sr. and Jr., Leave
the Public Service.

the Public Service.
Robert S. Chiffon, jr., chief Of the con-
sular bureau Of the Department Of State.
has resigned that office, voluntarily, to
engage in private business. Mr.. Chiffon has
been for twenty-five years connected with
the Department Of State, with one short
intermission, when he acted as private sec
retary for Vice President Morton. Because
of his experience and marked abilities, he
leaves the service against the wish of his
principals.
Almost simultaneously with this resigna-
tion was that of Mr.. Chilton's father, Rob-
ert s. Chiffon, United States consul at God
erich, Canada, whose resignation took ef-
feet January 1. He was probably the con-
sular officer of longest service connected
with the department, having been appoint
ed to clerkship in the State Department
fifty years ago. Besides that he has four
years service to his credit In the patent
office
The place vacated by Mr.. Chiffon jr., is
included within the scope of the civil serv-
ice laws, and 1t is consequently to be filled
by the promotion of some employe now In
the service of the consular bureau.
