Better Brick for Armory Auditorium.


In order to provide better brick for
the facing cf the armory auditorium
the Improvement Association voted at
the Tuesday luncheon to become re-
sponsible for the payment of $50 which
will permit:the use of salt glazed brick
instead of sand brick. The latter are
white, rather soft and chip very easily
and. when soiled would have to be
painted. The brick to be used have q
hard. smooth surface and can be easily
cleaned when. necessary. Two colors
will be used, the darker one for Q vain
cotting five feet high and the lighter
shade for the balance of the wall to the
ceiling. The change will make great
improvement in the appearance Of the
auditorium as well -ss being the more
economical in the matter of the up keep
1t is satisfaction to know that every,
thing possible is being done to make the
building as complete and as serviceable
as the funds will permit and in this
instance the Association is to be COM
mended for providing an Improvement
which otherwise could not have been
added to the plans.

Peace Crusaders

edCe STuSdueFS From the Boston Globe.
 In those large and prosperous states of the middle west where the chau- tauqua platform still holds its charm over the summer crowds, political top ics will give way to peace topics this year, they tell us, One of the generous ly endowed foundations for interna- tional peace will stage more than 16oo Chautauqua lectures and debates this summer "A dozen skilled debatef B. lately out of college. have already been engaged to make more than tlH0 addresses, some for one-night stands. some for one-week campaigns.
 The Chautauaua crusade will cover 26 states. and the audiences will agsre- gate a,000,0oo persons, we are told. Fur thermore, professors have been engaged to lecture on international peace topics at 39 universities, IT col 1eges and II normal schools. The orr ganization has agents organizing inter- national polity clubs In these institu- tions., "as well as in English and ir German universities"
 This. mRny believe, Is the way to en- list soldiers of peace. While public at tention Is centered upon the war. it IS easier to disseminate international in- formation.
 There are no sort cuts to peace," says President Butler of Columbia "The process of investigation. tho slow molding of public opinion. marks the sure road to the relief of the world"

A Paean in Pie

Let us celebrate the gastronomic poem of the ages-the pie. It graces tach eason, but most especially is il dedicated unto midsummer and the tirle of berries, black, red and blue. The pie is both friend and foe, comforter md evenger. It is mighty in the might est. It can mercilessly slay, and it can soothe and assuage the dropping spirit t is a poem both lyric and elegiac--- senses and again, peradventure. the pains thereof. Deadly is the pie when ,vereaten, but gracious, yea, and bene- icent, when partaken of in due meas- ure and in reverential awe of the law iul gastric processes.
 My blessings on the head of him who first invented sleep" sighed Sancho Panza on memorable occasion. Be ours on the head of him who first in- vented pie May he dwell forever on blessed isles of pie among the cherry orchards of Efysium. May his jowls delight in mincemeat. pumpkin, the Juicy squash, the tooth-staining blue- perry, the pippin apple, and bodies of emon custard.
 Something felicitous. and fruity be- ween two crusts"-that is pie. Long nay it wave.' Begin at one corner of he crust and eat judiciously along that outer crust in order that the something ,elicitous and fruity may remain, like wine. the best at the last.
 Let us heartily rejoice that 1t is ,ur good hap to dwell within the great New England pie belt, and, not a thou sand miles from certain justly cele- ,rated pie foundries.
 Give. us liberty or give us death But 'ailing that, give us pie.
