C.ntral College Recital.

Miss Ruby Ruffn Of lndepen-
dence. Mo-. gave Thursday even
ing one OF the bet piano reoi-
tails heard in MmrlI Hall for
some time.
Miss Ruffner is pupil Of
Mr.. Conrad and member
of this years graduating
class. She met the recital re-
quiremeut with "a really preten-
tious program, played splendid
ly. Her reading Of the Beetho-
ven Sonata was excellent in
both execution and interpreta-
ton: the funeral march given
with appropriate dignity and
sorority of tone, was especially
well done. The Chopin G minor
Ballad. and the List Polanaise
are very demanding, but Miss
Ruffncr's technique was very
adequate to the handling of
both in a musicianly manner. In
both numbers she brought OUT
much beauty of tone coIoring
and brilliant orchestral effect.
In lighter numbers the pianistC
proved equally pleasing She
was recalled a number of times
but played no encores. Miss
Ruffner is a conscientious work
er as well as a talented pupil
but her superior instruction is
none the less evident. Her pro.
gram read as follows:
Sonata, A fat Bccthorr
Andan'e con Variazioni
Scherzo
Marcia funete
Allegro
Gavotte, B minor S. SoeH
Barcarolle-V Venidenue Cocor

War Talk.

Wednesday when it was learned
that the Missouri Adjutant Gen
eral had been ordered to recruit
his forces to the full war
strength, there was considerable
speculation in Lexington as to
whether the order meant that
war was coming. Instead of say
ing good afternoon men said
to their friends, Are you go
ing to Mexieo2''
But the order in itself is Of
little significance. The govern
ment simply does not want to be
caught unprepared in case war
ONES about. The Illinois Nat
ional Guard received its orders
to get ready two weeks ago.
