greatest loss to the team, being elk
mated by the four-year rule. The new
material has not been thoroughly tried
out yet, but makes good promise. AS
soon as the condition of the field win
permit, the practice will be trans
ferred from the cage in the Armory to
the fresh air.
A revival of interest in track ath-
letics is in the air at the University.
For some years enthusiasm in this
branch of college sport seems to have
been on the wane. A good number of
candidates has already made its APP
pearance. however. and the meets
scheduled seem likely to foster deep
er interest. The conditions are still
unfavorable for outdoor work. The
University will compete in the state
meet which will be held in Clarksburg
on May Both. and will also have a
dual meet in Pittsburg, with the Uni.
versity of the Smoky City.
The New Glee Club.
After a lapse of several years the
effort is on foot definitely and in earn
est to organize Glee Club which will
creditably represent the state institu-
ton. In conjunction with a commit
tee from the student body, Director
Black, of the Music School, has con-
sented to undertake the formation and
training of the club. Thirty-six men
turned out in response to the request
for volunteers, and from these twenty
eight men have been chosen. This
will make male chorus OF some vol
ume, and the club is fortunate in hav-
ing soloists of unusual ability. There
will probably be no long trips this
year, but some of the nearby cities
may be favored this spring, and next
year with perfected organization the
club will be ready to make an extended
tour.
Rural Interests In Summer School,
The problems of rural life In it's
various phases will receive a large de-
gree of attention in the program which

The dairy herd of the Experiment
Station Farm is being re-arranged,
principally by the addition of few
Holstein cows, both grade and pure
bred, and it is intended to add in the
near future representatives of both the
Jersey and the Guernsey breeds.
These additions to the original herd of
pure-bred Jerseys, Ayrshires and
grades will supply a nucleus around
which will be built creditable dairy
herd to use to supply milk for the
town, material for the student work
in handling, feeding and judging, as
well as experimental work.
To house such herd the present
barn will be repaired to make it better
adapted for dairy cows, and an open
shed will be provided, with box stalls
and calf pens, for the herd sires and
calves.

"And now clear out. I'll see you at

You can always get rid of me on

In the doorway he turned with u final
speech. which was uttered in splendid
disregard for the packet Of money he
had just received. "Oh. dad. please
don't forget to give Sadie that S. l
borrowed from her for the taxi"
The owner Of the store returned to
his labors with a new zest. for the
meeting with his son had put him in
high spirits. Perhaps It might have
been better for Mary Turner had she
come to him just then, while he was
yet in this softened mood. But fate
had ordained that other events should
restore him to his usual harder self
before their interview. Smithson en-
tered with an expression Of discom-
future on his rather vacuous coun-
tenance. He walked almost nimbly to
the desk and spoke with evident dis
tress as his employer looked up inter-
negatively.
"McCracken has detained-er-a-
lady. SIR" he said feebly. "She has
been searched. and we have found
about 500 worth Of laces on her."
"Well?" Glider demanded Impatient
~. Such affairs were too common in
the store to make necessary this in
trusion Of the matter on him. "Why

That. Of course. is common enough in
q way. But here it's different. The
point is somehow she makes her pro-
testatiOns more convincing than they
usually do. They ring true. rs it seems

WELL" the attorney said. with a
smile. that sort Of thing makes good
enough circnmstantial evidence. and
without circumstantial evidence there
would be few convictions for crime.
Yet as a lawyer I'm free to admit that
circumstantial evidence alone Is never
quite safe as proof Of guilt. Natural

quite within the measure Of possibili-
ty. That sort Of thing has been done

swered. "thosr actually guilty Of the
