There is entirely too. much talk
of eugenics and sex affairs in this
country for the good of the rising
generation. Well meaning peo-
pie are being used to fill the Young
minds with suggestions and
thoughts that should not be en-
couraged. People seem to be
gone mad on this subject and even
religious gatherings are being
used for purposes that cannot re-
suit in good. Admonitions in
this line should be given only at
home. Too much publicity can
only lead to evil. Monroe News

I'VE have no information warranting

Knox, with parrot-like ease
Can you explain to me, then" Knox
persisted, why John Grinen, the orig
inal vendor OF the mine to the present
company, should disappear like this the
day after he returned from Chile,
where, l understand, he had been sent
by you to collect some special informa-
ton concerning the n1ine?"

lie must realize how this absence is up
setting the market" Knox continued.
The official smiled a patient smile and
glanced at the clock. There were other
inquirers waiting. The disappearance
OF Mr.. Grinen is worrying the directors
as much as YOU, sir" he remarked. "We
have detectives all over England search
ing for him"
That's all very WE'LL" Knox con-
tinued; but what about my shares

Knox as the most harmless looking, and
very soon regretted it. Knox, with a
pile of figures before him, began to at
tack the subject of John Grinen's dis
appearance from just that point of view
which the directors had wished to
avoid. Gentlemen" he began, 81 in
tend to show that John Grinen was eth
er i'll treated or considered himself i'll
treated, not to say swindled, by the COM
pany. He may or may not have been
honest in his first statements as regards
the mine, but | submit that it was his
intention today to give certain informa-
tion inimical to the interests of the
mine, and therefore I say that the onus
of his disappearance rests entirely with
YOU, sir, and with the directors of the
company"
The gentleman is out of order" the
chairman ruled.
Something like pandemonium enSued.
They shouted the chairman down, they
pushed Knox up onto a chair. The
former at last held up his hand.
In view of the obvious feeling of the
meeting" he said, 'the gentleman can
continue"
Il won't waste your time, gentlemen"
Knox said, as soon as silence had been
obtained. Il submit these points ::
First, that John Grinen was paid for
the Anaguta Mine not 10000 pounds,
rs has been generally understood, but
5000 pounds only, nearly the whole of
which was necessary to redeem existing
mortgages. Secondly, that John Grinen,
whether rightfully or not, considered

scraps of paper which he had collected
on the table before Knox. The only rec
ognizable handwriting was distinctly a
mans. and there were more figures than
anything else. Knox gazed at them
blankly
Seems to me l have made a bit Of
an ass of myself" he remarked uncom-
fortably
Mr.. Fields occupied himself for mo-
ment or two in tearing the fragments
OF paper into still smaller pieces. Then
he turned away. Good night to you,
young man" he said little contempt
uously Try and get rid of that hot
blood OF yours. Jealousy's no use, any
way. If the girl isn't worth trusting,
let her CO."
He passed down the restaurant and
disappeared once more. Knox, as though
unconsciously, stuffed those still more
minute scraps of paper into his trousers
pocket Daisy Maynard leaned across
from her table. What does it all
mean?" she demanded, breathlessly.
why did you two keep on looking to-
ward me?"
. Knox stood with his hands upon her
table, leaning down. His expression
seemed somehow to have changed. 1T
MEANS" he said. that you were right.
The large gentleman who has just gone
out is probably the one person in Lon
don who knows all about the disappear
ance of John Grinen."
AT comparatively early hour the
next morning, Knox descended upon the

financial district of London called the
City. He addressed himself in some
what peremptory terms TO one of the
officials of the Great Anaguta Tin Mine
Company, Limited, who came forward
to accost him.
Look here, you know" ne began, tap
ping the mahogany counter with his
cane, this sort of thing isn't done, real
ly. What's it all mean, eh?" The Off
cial was too busy to handy words. He
proceeded TO get down to business as
quickly as passible.
Are you referring to the drop in
Anaguta Tins, SIR" he inquired.

Piled. DO you think that came down

ing. I've had enough. I'm not going to
be made fool"
The large man interrupted him. DO
l understand you TO say that you believe
these scraps of paper are the remains of
note from that young Lady,"
Il do indeed" Knox declared, with
the air of one who was not easily to be
deceived, "and-"
Once more the large man interrupted.
His tone now was almost compassion
ate. He signed to the waiter to lay the

a few shares registered in my name, and
I'll ask your Mr.. Leverston some ques-
tions then that'll make him sit up"
The man smiled. He seemed un-
alarmed.
Nevertheless Knox. who spent the
rest of that morning in the City, turned
out very obnoxious person indeed
when the time for the general meeting
OF the Anaguta Tin Mine Company,
Limited, arrived. The large room at
the Cannon Street Hotel was packed
and the proceedings from-the first were
interrupted.
There were a dozen people on their
feet, prepared TO ask questions at the
same moment. The chairman selected

Toward the close of busy morning,
Knox found time to telephone to- Lord

Lord Tamworth cleared his throat

telephone.

Freshmen and Sophomores viii
Clash on Rogers Field-New
Rules To Govern

The annual Freshman-Sophom
tieup. the opening gun in the SUI
premacy clashes between the two
lower classes at the State College,
will occur next Monday evening.
rules for the contest having been ar
ranged yesterday by the Freshman
Sophomore rules committee, in CON
junction with the executive council
of the associated students and spe-
cial faculty committee. The new
rules show many radical changes over
those of previous years, the most i'm
portant of which is the arrangement
of a schedule of points which will
preclude the possibility of the con-
test being declared a draw, as has
been the case in many previous
years.
A committee of judges, consisting
of 20 upper class "W" men, will be
selected to have charge of the affair,
and the rules provide that as soon as
ildn Is lleu MS CdploIS must tame
him to one of these judges. who will
register his name and class, when he
will be permitted to return to the
fray. The contest is scheduled to
start promptly at g. 5 and will con-
tinue for 45 minutes, at the close of
which time the class having tied the
greatest number of opponents will be
declared the winner.
The contest will be held on Rogers
field. which will be lighted by four
big bonfires, and a dead line will be
drawn a few feet inside the curb on
the field with penalties for clashes
outside this line.
Robert Howard of ColfaX will lead
the Sophomore warriors, while II. J.
Carter of Olympia will serve in like
capacity for the first year men.
