Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house,
Not Q, creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse.
When mama awoke with start ana
a shake,
And wondered why papa
Was so wide awake;
A rumbling and roaring
Soon came to their ears
A noise that would follow Them
All through their years.
For down near the bath room
The water rushed out,
And it caused poor papa
And mama to shout.

captain of the senior basket ball team
of well known woman's college, as
she held in her hands q number OF
designations from girls who last year
were enthusiastic players.
"Our worst loss is going to be our
center, who doesn't return to college
this year because she is going to get
married. OF course, 1 can forgive her,
but just listen to the excuses the 9th
ers offer:
"One girl writes that she can't play
this year because the game makes her
hands large, and her father objects to
that. Another says she can't play be-
cause she always loses her temper
when the umpire calls a foul on her,
and that her mother is afraid she'll
become a regular cross patch 1
did expect something better of our
little goal defender, but here is her
resignation along with others, saying
that she met a girl this summer who
had played in that position ct Bryn

such an aggressive, assertive person
that she's afraid if she play goal de-
fender any longer she will become like

Thirty-two years ago the world saw
the first fruits of international arbi-
tration, in the award of the high COM
mission which settled the so-called
Alabama claims of the United States
against England
The world has made a strong adj
vance toward the settlement of inter
national disputes by the judicial meth
DDS of arbitration since the days of
the Alabama award.
Differences that before then plunged
nations into war are now considered,
as a matter of course, fit subjects for
the deliberative methods of settlement
embraced by arbitration.
The high court which settled the
Alabama claims was the first of its
kind The parties to the disputed
claims had long been subject to in
tensely bitter feelings of recruitment
against each other. The United
States charged to England practically
all the damage done her shipping by
confederate ships in the civil war,
while England refused, until this COM
mission sat, to recognize the right of
any nation to question her methods of
maintaining her proclaimed. neutral
ity.
Long and delicate diplomatic nego-
tiations were necessary to pave the
way, step by step, for the formation
OF the court which was to settle these
claims.
Even after the sessions began it
appeared for time as if they would
come to an abrupt and friutless end
ing.
After months of elaboration on the
part of the arbitrators a settlement
was reached, however, in which the
principal of international arbitration
was imperishably perpetuated, while
the United States government re-
ceived in settlement of it's claims the
substantial sum of Sic, $780, 900.
