DECLARES CONFERENCE
A DISTINCT ADVANCE
Comment of American Friend
On Richmond Meeting.
NEW HOPE AND COURAGE.

Editorially the American Friend
says of the recent Five Years meeting
in Richmond:
1t was a distinct advance over the
meeting of five years ago. The gain
was apparent from almost any point
of view. There was clearer vision.
firmer grasp, solder though, steaiier
judgment, deeper spiritual currents,
greater unity and surer confidence in
the future.
Almost everybody has come back
from Richmond encouraged. We have
been making progress in t1ese past
five years. There are some that have
grown Oh in the hl, less who do not
feel at home in the world of changing
IDEAS and methods. and who yearn for
the safety of the old We .-:<odden
PATHS. We sympathGc with them and
pray that they may be tcnderly treat
ed, but We cannot regret that there is
generation rislnS up With its face
to the enlarging light. and we believe
that this Five Years meeting has Civ
Ell them new hope and courage.

Winters, with the assistance OF
friends. went to nearby home where
his wound was attended to by ply
stefan. Winters was able to be up
and about today. Had the knife pen
etrated an inch below the wound In
Winters body it would have entered
the stomach and his death would have
been almost certain.
After the cutting scrape Johnson
went to dance at the home of Tom
Moorehead in Fairview. He was or
dered away but refused to go. After
the police had been notified or the
assault they went to the Moorehead
home and questioned several boys to
learn who Winters assaiiant was.
All of the boys prOfcssed ignorance
of the assault until Chief Bailey
threatened to take them all to the city
Jail. Then they wilted and informed
the chief that Johnson was the one
who had committed the assault. John
son when he entered the city court
this morning had his Halloween cos
tune thrust into a pocket of his trous-
ers, He waived preliminary hearing
and Prosecutor Jessup after consult
ing with Judge Converse decided to
file the assault and battery charge
against Johnson in the circuit court.
Johnson appears to be an Intelligent
negro and states he is a student at the
high school. He has not lived in Rich
mond very long.

THE RATHER.
II Rarely Sounds It's Note of Warning
Until Attacked,


Contrary to the general belief, the
RATHER rarely gives its characteristic
note Of warning until actually attack
ed. In fact, the sharp. vibrant ring of
its terminal appendage Is probably de-
signed more to assist this very slug
gish serpent to obtain its food than to
sound defiance or warning. In the
first place. serpents possess but the
most rudimentary traces Of auditory
apparatus and are practically deaf, the
deficiency in the sense of hearing be-
ing compensated for by an extreme
senSitivenesS of feeling which makes
them aware of the approach Of moving
objects by the vibration of the ground.
Hunters, treading cautiously upon a
soft carpet of moss or leaves to avoid
alarming game. will often step close
to or over a sattler without disturbing
it or receiving warning. and while
many snakes are seen and killed by
them it Is probable that a far greater
number are passed by unnoticed. All
snakes are timid and would rather run
than fight, and the RATHER is not invit-
ing certain destruction by advertising
its wherea bouts in the brush.-Francis
Metcalfe in Outing Magazine.

An Incident Which illustrates Japanese
Detective Methods.


Detective Methods.
Recently in the village of Tahara-
mura, Japan. all the male inha bitants
above the age of fifteen years were as
sembled in front of the local Shinto
shrine at the call OF the village chief.
A thief had been making depredations
in the local tobacco plantations. and
the chief sought to discover him. Out
lines of the feet of all the villagers
were taken on sheets of paper. and
then these were compared with the
tracks left by the thief in the tobacco
fields. Nothing resulted from this ex
pertinent. The next day the inhabit-
ants were called together again. \
great hole was dug in the ground. and
a raging charcoal fire was built in it.
All persons present were ordered to
walk through the fire barefooted. 1t
being declared that no person would
be burned except the guilty one. All
advanced to undergo the ordeal except
oue, Shukichi Shibata, a man of evil
reputation. He declined to trust his
teet to the redhot Goals. Accordingly
he was arrested and soon confessed
his guilt.

Normal quit the game because the men

action of the Rose faculty was taken
when it was learned that Claude Douth-
EFT, professional baseball player, play
ed in the game last Saturday against
Vanderbilt However. the manager of
the Vanderbilt team was informed be-
fore the game that Douthett was with
the Rose team and he also was inform
ed that Douthett was a professional
baseball player. He agreed to permit
the Rose Poly manager to send DOuth-
EFT into the game.
President Mees said that in view of
the fact that Rose has so often objected
TO slight violations of the Amateur
Athletic association rules on the part
Of other schools. the faculty could do
nothing less than disband the team.
The action of the faculty affects
nothing but the playing of the varsity
team during the present season.
