ing party at the fraternity house Fri
day afternoon from until 6. There
were present, including the active
members of the chapter, the invited
guests of the city and friends from
out of town. about 200 persons. In
every particular the party rivaled the
one held at the chapter house two

joyed by all
The house was very prettily deco
rated for the occasion. The parlor
where the receiving line was, with it's
darkened windows, presented very
pleasing appearance under the artiti-
cial light of pinkish hue. Palms
placed by the windows and in the
corners of the rooms, together with
other ported plants, lent to the artis
tic arrangement of the room. One of
the most unique effects in the deco
ration was that of two large vases of
pussy willows which were out quite
in advance of their season, placed on
the fraternity bookcase. The large
gold Deke pin placed at one end of
the music room was the principal at
traction there. College and fraternity
banners were carefully placed on the
walls and the windows were draped
in colored tissue as we'll as the lights
above The rooms of the college men
were in the finest of order, presenting
a very pleasing appearance.

hall We're asked to go up stairs by
Clark Drummond of Coburn Classical

their wraps in the several college
rooms. On coming down stairs the

WHAT DO YOU MEAN CANNON

From the slender, tube-like reed
used by the ancient Greeks for so
simple a purpose as measuring the
height of wall, or the depth of a
ditch, the deadly cannon or ina
chine-gun" takes its name.
The Greeks called their measuring
rod by it's Greek name, canon, and
finally canon came to mean a precept
or rule, and it is so used today when
we speak of canon law, or the church
canons. When the tube-hke gun was
invented it was called canon because
it resembled a canon or reed. It was
the misspeIIing of some untutored
soldier that gave it its double n.
When the lannon's roar was first
heard in battle is a matter of doubt,
but most authorities agree that the
English used cannon at the battle of

Paris, Nov 23.-The class Of 1914 re-

vance of its time. has now had three
months of training and is reported by
its commanding officers and instruct
ors to be ready for action.
This, it Is said may seem a remark
ably short time in which to whip into
shape, discipline and accustom to the
hard duties of campaign. an army Of
100000 twenty-year-old men, but it Is
explained, however, that the material
was excellent. Their fine physical Con-
dition is attributed largely to the de-
velopment of sport. There are many
indications that these young soldiers
are now near the fighting line.
The recruits of 1915, called out ere
year before their time. have just Iass-
ed the medical examination bit the
years difference in age does not show
the anticipated difference in physical
fitness. The proportion of accepted,
men will not fall far short of the pro-

MOSQUITO BITE
CAUSE OF THIS
SOLDIERS DEATH

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Toxic, Nov. 2-The abolition of for
eign settlements in Korea which be-
came effective on December 81, 1913,
means that foreigners this year begin
to pay a municipal tax upon their
property. Heitherto foreigners were
exempted from taxation. The budget
of the government of Korea or
Chosen. for next year has been made
up and will be placed before the cab
met in Toxic. 1t has been framed up
on the financial policy adopted by
the governor general which is that OF
carrying out the independence Of the
finances of Chosen in five years.
Notwithstanding the. increase Of
taxation there has been Elimination
of revenue by 100000 in the customs,
railroads and posts and telegraphs,
chiefly on account Of the European
war. Altogether a deficit of $3.50, 900
must be made UP, partly by economy
in the expenses Of various offlces and
partly by carrying forward to the fu-
ture the redemption Of some extraordi-
nary loans.
In recognition of services rendered
on the question Of abolishing foreign
settlements, the Emperor Of Japan has
decorated the Russian, French, Bel
gian and Chinese consul generals with
the order of the Rising Sun. The Am-
erican and British consuls who also
helped in the work are not permitted
by their governments to accept deco
rations.
