UNIVERSITY CLUBS
ANNUAL BANQUET
Affair Will Be Very Largely At
tended, with President Taft
as Guest of Honor.

Judging by the number OF applications
already filed for tickets, the eighth an
nuaI dinner OF the University Club at the
New Willard on February q viii take
rank as one OF the largest affairs of the
sort held in Washington this season.
Formal notices Of the coming event
were sent out last week and responses
have come so quickly that the success Of
the dinner is overwhelmingly assured.
Announcement has been made that all APP
pIications received by Tuesday afternoon
will be drawn by the committee and seats
allotted IN accordance with the drawings.
After that time the committee will issue
any remaining tickets in the best re-
matning locations until the whole number
has been disposed of. From present in
dications. however. the first batch of ap-
plications alone will insure an attendance
which viii tax the seating capacity Of the
big banquet hall OF the Willard.
President Taft's acceptance OF the in
vitation Of the club, of which he served as
first president, has aroused anticipations
of pertinent observations relative to the
new clubhouse. The President has been
one of the most earnest advocates of a
fine clubhouse designed especially for re-
cent graduates Of all colleges. in order
to provide them with comforts and con-
veniences OF a common meeting place.
The rapid progress o. construction work
on the new building at Fifteenth and /
streets win provide the President with
a topic of interest to the members, In
case he prefers not to speak along politi-
cal lines.
In arranging details for the big event.
the dinner committee has under consider
alton several features Of especial interest
TO club members. Special committees on
decorations, souvenirs. and music are at
work under the direction of Charles Z.
Howe, chairman, ana some surprises are
promised.

The hound Is q lean. timber dog with
versatile legs; long. mournful ears, a
tail that is as busy as a bandmastsr's 3
baton. and a voice hat is never still
except when its proprietor is eating.
There are a great many varieties OF
hounds, among them the desrhound,
which we have already described. There
is also the ferociously named blood
hound, who does not live exclusively on
gore. as might be imagined, but whose
talented nose enables him to follow a
set OF tracks left by a man with per-
spring feet for fifty miles and TO keep
the owner Of the feet comfortably treed
until the patrol wagon arrives.
The common hound Is an improve
meut on the deerhound in durability
and on the bloodhound in disposition.
He Is a smooth-coated, hvsr-colored dog
with a gentle, trusting nature, which
often leads him to attach himself
permanently TO a family which will not
have last Saturdays breakfast until
some time next week The hound Is a
great hunter and loves nothing better
than to lure his master away from a
profitable job and lead him through
fourteen miles OF woods after. pos
sum. When a man has accumulated half
a dozen hounds he rarely has time to
associate with employers.
The hound is a relentless enemy OF
the coon and It is an inspiring sound
to hear a pack Of these dogs crash
ing through the forest making e noise
like a cross section of the French revo-
luton and pleading with q reluctant
coon to come out of tall tree and be
masticated. The hound Is heroic In the
extreme, but like most fighters. he is of
no use in time Of peace. He nourishes
best in the warm Southern States and
Is one Of natures most successful loaf
ers. Whisper to a hound that there Is
a r-days-old rabbit track In the next
county and he will 90 over there four

can produce.
According 10 the Oriental custom, all
Cinnamon visited those who had been
, their enemies. and formally presented the
offer OF peace and good win for the
coming year. The teachings of Confucius
are that the Celestial on the date when
a new year begins must make peace with
his ancestors by showing friendship for
all and I'll will toward none who have
injured him.

ADDRESS ON EVOLUTION.
Prof. David EecIes Speaks Before
Secular League.

An address on Another step in evo-
lutionary Interpretation" by Prof. DHsid
Eccles, a former president OF the organ-
ization, and the adoption OF resolutions
of coincidence with DR.. w. A. Croffut
who lost a brother and sister on the same
day, were the features Of the meeting
Of the Secular League at Pythian Tenn
pie yesterday afternoon.
Prof. Eccles advanced. the view that
'all biological evolution Is due TO molecu-
lar selection or natural selection, work
ing through the battle OF cells and par
asites for food and life"
The speaker maintained that the idea
that "all present physiology IL explained
by past pathology Is original with his
brother, DR.. r. G. Eccles. a scientist Of
Brooklyn. N. Y. although the view Is
now being advanced by the eminent DR..
Flexner.
