Tuesday: Music hath charms
to soothe the savage breast, tC
melt the rocks and bend the
knotted oak. Colangelo's ltal-
ian Band and Orchestra pleased
the large crowd with their sweet
melodies. Such excellent music
makes US realize how our fellow

The lecture by DR.. Downey on
the Child" was given in the
usual pleasing manner but with
vigor and an ease which drives
conviction to the minds of his
hearers. He is a master of his

Mr.. Montaville Flowers held
his audience like a magnate for
one hour. All hearers rivited
their eyes on the charming
speaker. drinking from the fresh
fountain of world affairs. He
plucked the world apart from US
and held it up for study. giving
facts that We're new and facts
that were latent in the hearts of

be conversant with the diploma
tic negotiation and treaties enter
ed into, otherwise how are we to
keep them: how are we to be
law abiding citizens.
