CHAPTER ~.
Down the River.


AT Waterloo the two men parted
with a fair exchange of fitting
speeches. none of which rang really
false. And yet Cazalet found himself
emphatically unable to make any plans
at all for the next few days; also, he
seemed in two minds now about a
Jermyn Street hotel previously men,
toned as his immediate destination;
and his step was indubitably lighter as
he went off first of all to the loop-line,
to make sure of some train or other
that he might have to take before the
day was out.
In the event he did not take that
train or any other; for the new
miracle of the new traffic. the new
smell OF the horseless streets, and the
newer joys of the newest of new taxi.

ZfTA SIGMA BANQUET
Held at Episcopal Church Saturday
Evening

l lie Leld SlSuId Literary SOclely
of Alma College held their stag
banquet at the Episcopal church
guild room for the first time since
1911. This stag banquet used TO be
an annual event and one of the
most prominent functions of the So
ciety previous to 1911. However for
various reasons it has not been Civ
en- during the past few years.
Several of the former alumni
members were present as well as
many of the student members of the
society. Shortly after eight o'clock
the guests assembled in the guild
room and prepared to enjoy an ex-
cellent dinner.
The toasts and speeches given by
various members Of the society fol-
lowed the banquet. Frank Hurst OF
the class OF 1900 was scheduled to
appear as POSTMASTER, but owing to
his sudden illness, Thomas Blaisdell
Jr., acted as POSTMASTER, conducting
his numerous duties in capable
manner, having an excelleD supply
of stories that hit the point.
Rudolph Dyer, II gave the Wei
come" toast in way which Rude"
can and incidentally embarrassed the
POSTMASTER by a number of touch
ing stories.
Addison Wilson Is gave the SEN
Tor class toast Vices and Advices,"
portraying very forcibly the good
things that can be done to form a
better Zeta Sigma as well as ex-
ter's work in the organization and
mating few vices that exist at pres
ent. 1t vas an excellent toast and
we'll worthy of the applause given.
Elmer Hanna, formerly of the
class of rs responded very ably to
the toast, 'Yearling," giving his
opinion of Zeta Sigma from a semes-
ters work in the organization and
the assistance received from the So
ciety.
Sandy Duncanson 10 gave a very
interesting talk entitled Collections
and Recollections." This was one of
the best toasts of the evening. Sum-
ming up in a very forceful and pleas
ing manner what Zeta Sigma has ac-
complished in the past and the ex-
cellent opportunities for more work
in the future.
The society quartette consisting of
Messrs Smith, Butler, Goodrich and
O. NJ. Anderson rendered a very fine
selection and were encored several
times.
POSTMASTER Blaisdell then read a
very humorous selection entitled
"Hoch der Kaiser"
Lint Melvin class of rs followed
with a toast entitled "Home Rule"
This was very good and although
the war has made this recent sub
ject a matter for memory only he
revived il i'm a very forceful man
ner.
DR.. G. b. Randell gave the final
toast OF the evening "Introspections
and Vivisections. He literally cut
things 10 pieces and then in very
practical and psychological manner
joined them again.
With a final toast TO the faculty,
alumni and present Zeta Sigma men
the banquet closed to the inspiring
tune of the society song and with a
satisfied feeling both inwardly and
outwardly. All expectantly look for
ward to 1916 when they will be
able to meet again at similar ban
quet.

COL LONlAL LEAGUE
 UMPlRES MUST BE
 RESPECTABLE MEN

New Haven, May 2s.-Umpires in the Colonial league must be respectable inhabitants of this planet. Further more they must look respectable. No set standard of looks has been hit upon, but the four men now on the staff agree that they can all pass in a crowd. The point is that they have been instructed by President c. B. Coppen of the Colonial league to keep from looking like tramps and behav- ing worse. E,E M
 They must carry dignity and re- spectabflity and at all times use only the English language in discussing matters on the ball field. It will not do to take a. shot at words that make fans and scr1bes blush, nor will it do for the umpire to let any player get away with any calico words. The Col onial league wants tn do it's share in elevating the game nd will not stand for roughnecks or roughnecking.
