eral William H. Carter in 'The
American Army" that with re-
spect to outlay upon an organi-
cation of Federal volunteers "the
ultimate saving in pensions alone
would, in a great war, meet all
the expenses incurred for its
maintenance in time Of peace"
Mr.. Garrison's continental army
would be a good insurance
against war.
There is also another point to
be considered, and it is one of
great Importance. The National
Guard is composed chiefly of in
fantry, and therefore it is not
adapted to modern scientific war
fare. The continental army
would have the same organiza-
ton in all branches as the regu-
lar army and would approximate
closely to it in effectiveness with
out reflection upon the excellence
of the National Guard for the
purposes it serves.

don't want yours, like so many
others, to be received with indif-

You take no such chance in

Did you ever know of a home
in which it came amiss, or of one
in which it was not conspicuous

1t is worth while to make a

weeks, is said to be disappearing.

CIub Meeting II central.

Through the courtesy of DR..
and Mrs. Williams, the Literary
and Music Departments of Lex
ington Woman's Club held their
Monday sessions in the College
Library and Murrell Hall re-
spectively. The major part of the
program in Murrell Hall was a
lecture by Mr.. D. F. Conrad on
"The Origin Of the Opera and
some Phases of its Develop
ment." The subject was most
appropriate to the immediate
line of study being followed by
the Musical Club. Mr.. Conrad's
varied and comprehensive
knowledge of his subject, with
his charm Of style and purity of
diction made this lecture a real
means of instruction and a men
tai pleasure. The musical set
ting for it was furnished by two
~overtures played by Mrs. John
N. Sturgis and Mrs. William
Aull, Jr., and Mrs. Frank Slaugh-
ter and Mrs. Jesse 6. Crenshaw.
The program for the Literary
Club was one Of special interest
also and has been previously
given in The Intelligencer.
The large attendance showed
the appreciation of the College
hospitality and the service Of
light refreshments by Mrs. Will
Jams late in the afternoon to
members of both clubs, made the
two sessions very gala and de-
lightful affairs.

An Adequate Army.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The military policy which Sec
rotary Garrison proposes for the
country originated with the
greatest of all American author
tiles, General Emory Upton. His
report upon the subject is a
classic. After studying our
checkered experience in war and
giving particular attention to
the four years struggle between
the States, so costly in life and
treasure, he recommended that
the military system of the ma
ton should consist of the regu-
lar army, Federal volunteers and
the militia. That was nearly
forty years ago.
General Upton was not needed.
The Spanish war found us in a
woeful state of unpreparedness,
with a mobile regular army of
$4,000 men and a half trained
militia whose only function un-
der the Constitution was, aside
from domestic law enforcement
and the assistance it might give
in suppressing insurrection, the
repelling Of invasion. AS the
republic would never tolerate a
large standing army General Up
ton proposed an auxiliary force
which he called Federal volun-
teers, to be organized in each
Congress district, supported by
the national Government, and
subject to summons by the Pres
ident for service outside the
country, if necessary. Both sec.

proclaimed on October 1, 1914. No
change has since been made in them,
and no change is likely to be made
until the constitutionality of the law
has been passed on by the United
States supreme court. AS a matter
of fact, the law provides that all
changes in the regulations must be
considered for period of ninety
days, and then must be approved
and signed by the president before
they become effective. 1t is thus evi-
dent that there is no possibility that
the prohibition of spring shooting
will be in any way modified this
year.
The officials of the department

To Kill the Rodents.

Time and experience have fully
demonstrated the futility of virus as
a rodent exterminator, particularly
squirrels, gophers and mice pests.
Nearly all forms of poison have given
way to strychnine, and for this pur-
pose there is nothing better than a
strychnine-coated wheat. The cupid
ity of manufacturers has in many
cases led them to diminish the
amount of poison below the safety
point, with the result that 1t has
proven worthless in use. Disappoint-
ment has also arisen through improp-
er coating. Farmers today are de-
pending more and more on the we'll
tried, tested brands of coated wheat
for the destruction of squirrels and
gophers. No stock, fruit, grain or
alfalfa grower should jeopardize his
crop by failure to act promptly this
season.
