Cadets Celebrate Football Victory

The cadets OF the V. NJ. l. had a
glorious time Saturday night. The
occasion was the celebration OF the
victory on the gridiron over the
strong aggregation from the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College of
North Carolina.
After ST. PIPER the entire corps was
given permission to come up town,
and for several hours thereafter
Main street was the scene of a crowd
Of enthusiastic youngsters. mad
with delight over notable football
victory. Numerous fireworks we're
put off and the flashing of roman
candles and explosion of cannon
crackers for a time made night
hideous and travel dangerous.
The cadets marched the streets
with improvised band and INDUCED
in their college yells. They also
applied paint in many places with
the cabalistic letters: V. Nj. I. 6;
A. & NJ. of n. G. 5.
In the wake OF the registering
boys police officers followed with
buckets of gasolene with which
to remove from buildings the paint
by the cadets.

more than a million children were
born In France. This figure remained
about stationary till 1868. when the
number was over $4,000. The births

there are fewer deaths is that fewer
children are born.

delight that the number of weddings

1907. The marriage rate has since
then gone up some 5000 a year.

glimmer of hope that the birth rate
