thousands of visitors from all parts
of the United States and not few
from foreign countries. The meet will

ters to train aviators in the use of
their machines and it is expected that
some records will be broken in the
course of the meet provided the
weather conditions are at all favora-
BILE. The program includes more than
thirty events for special prizes and

tion is expected. Among the machines
which will take part in the various
contests is Bleriot, which will be
piled by Mr.. G.. G. Fisher, the presi-
dent of the Speedway company The
principal events have been reserved
for Saturday, when there will be spec
ial trials for record high flights and
cross-country flights over the state of
Indiana. In all events there will be

DIAMOND JUBILEE

Marietta o., June 13-This is reg

this month and the present week
marks the seventy-fifth anniversary
of the establishment of Marietta Col
lege as a\properly chartered college.
The celebration, which began yester-
day with preaching in the churches of
the city by alumni of the college and
the annual baccalaureate service, will
continue all through the week and will
contain many interesting and enjoya-
BILE features. Today is devoted to re-
unions of the Greek letter societies,
which will be continued tomorrow.

the college have come back to their
Alma Mater for this celebration and
will address the students and alumni
at the various meetings to be held
during the week. Wednesday will be
the principal Gay, when some of the
most eminent visitors will deliver ad
dresses. President Alfred T. Perry
will give review of the history of the
college and Rev. Frank w. Gunsaulus

1t was in 1897 that a meeting of the
citizens of Marietta was held. presid-
ed over by General Rufus Putnam, of
Revolutionary fame, to consider the
plan OF establishing an institution of
learning. The Muskingum Academy
established in plain and modest log
house, was the outcome OF that meet
ing. David Putnam, graduate of
Yale, was the first principal, This
school was steadily improved as an
institution for higher education until
1t took on the character of college
and in 1888 at another meeting OF
Marietta's citizens, it was decided to
establish the school upon permanent
basis. Two years later, in the month
of June, the institution was chartered
under the name of Marietta College
Although the college was never sub
sidized by the State, but was MAINTAIN
ed altogether by voluntary subscrip
tions, II has maintained high educa
tional standard and has become fam
Gus throughout the country. An effort
will be made by the trustees to raise
100000 to place the institution upor
a better financial basis.

Tuesday of next week The senior
class of this year is the smallest in
numbers that has been graduated from
the high school for a number of years.
The class was originally large, but
number "tarried by the wayside" with
the result that they we're not able to
graduate with their class.
The commencement and incidental
ly final (for this Year,, number of the
High School Forum was put on sale
after school Tuesday. 1t has always
been the rule to make this issue the
best of the year and the material for
the fulfillment of this principle has al
ways been more available because of
the opportunities presented to exercise
the originality of those writing stories
or articles These opportunities are
made so forcible by reason that the
commencement number is an issue of
'Rubs" on the senior class. This year,
however, instead OF following the trod-
den paths of former years in thfs re-
spect the originality of the contribu-
tors was changed into new and more
fertile fields with the result that this
number of the Forum has been, pro-
nounced "the best ever" Contrary TO
the usual custom, there was no cover
design for this issue other than the
plain one which has been used all
year. This was necessitated by the
fact that finances were low and it was
g matter of speculation and doubt as
to whether the expense of getting up a
special cover design would be justified
by large enough sale. Primarily, the
purpose of the Forum is to provide
suitable school publication and yet
one that will be self sustaining. AS
has been mentioned before in this col
umn,, the business managers had their
hands full with debt which had ac-
cumulated last year. With this to
meet land meet they did care and
Judgment had to be exercised this
year so that there would not be rep
etition next year. The commence
ment number is the most expensive
number of the year because of the
printing. Each year, the picture oi
the senor class is included with copy
and it was intended this year to print
group picture of the debating teams
but because the picture was taken
at the twelfth hour" arrangements
could not be made which would permit
this. However, there is a superabupd
ance of excellent reading matter in the
Forum, the features of which are "Th6
Glass Growl, 1.-The Glass VIII anC
THE Class Prophecy" The "Rubs'
department was also devoted chiefly
to hits" at the seniors. AS has beer
mentioned before, picture of the sen
ior class printed on separate shee
of paper Is included in each and e'
cry copy which may be obtained
at II. |. Arnold's book store for con
sideration of ten cents.

The Art of RESTING.

Any one with the will to do can
learn to work, but few learn how to
really rest. Sleeping is not always
resting; neither is doing nothing a
good form of rest. There are certain
forms of Incidence that are more IA
tiguing than hard work.
Real rest presupposes sufficient
sleep and enough of the loaflng spirit
to get off tension, but it means more
than that.
One Of the surest rests is in relax
ing; change Of occupation is resting,
so also is change of scene and view
point. If you live in the city, espe-
cially if you are worker, get into
the country once in while. You can
exercise or loaf, but you will come
home stimulated. The country girl
needs the excitement of day in the
city.
Many a woman has found going to
the theater the greatest rest she
knows. This is particularly so for
brain workers or for women given to
worrying about their household du
ties.
Most restful of all Is the power to
let things go. One rarely hears Of q
woman getting nervous prostration
who has the blessed faculty of sit
ting down In the midst Of confusion
to finish good book or of snatching
a day for pure pleasure though duties
press.
Such a girl will probably be called
irresponsible, but she has learned
how not to live at tension, which is
the crying evil Of our race.

She lacks but two years of the extra
ordinary age attained by Sarah, the
wife of Abraham. Unlike Sarah of

has a large progeny. She was the
mother of ten children, and her des-
cendants now number more than 200
persons.
Not long ago, while offering the
mass for his mother, on her birth
day, her son, priest, fell dead at the
altar Of heart disease. He was 80
years of age. Frau Dutkiewicz was
married over ninety years ago, and
has been a widow for fifty-fve years.
She remembers the Napoleonic wars,
and the final fall of Napoleon better
than the events of the past twenty
i've years. Her numerous descend.
ants are proud of her, and so is her
native city.
