Of the popular set. Happie Jimmie
Jameson won the hearts of everyone,
as well as the susceptible heart OF
Cherry Carruthers.
The "eo-eds" were a charming group
of maidens. Lois Hunter would glad
den the most disconsolate little Fresh
man; Evelyn Newcomb and Loretta
Rea succeeded in fascinating McGoo-
gin, and who may question why?
Especial mention must be made Of
the boarding matrons, "Vi'let' Pick
ems, and "The Angel" who acted their
parts to perfection; of Elizabethe
Maudelia, who was "a perfect lady"
and managed the whole college with
a high hand; and of Mr.. Chubb, whose
"plumbago" brought tears of SYM
patty from the audience. Their
daughter Dollie was delightfully."- dam

could resist her in favor of his trips
downtown"
Second hand Abey was a star char
acter. Arthur Read deserves common
dation for his clever Interpretation OF
Abev. and also of Casey Jones, leader
of the opposition faction in college pol
tics. The pillar Of Splinterville, "
Epenetus Boggs, called forth the APP
plause of the audience in his anxiety
for his sons well-being and morals.
The title part was played by Roy
Phelps. His bashfuness, his obedi'
ent How de do! Pm Aaron Boggs"
took the audience by storm. Through
out his entire action, people laughed
almost to the verge of tears.
The naturalness and spontaneity OF
the whole performance was its great
est charm. 1t was the obvious result
of faithful, untiring work in rehear-
sails early and late, and cooperation OF
all participants in the play with the
Faculty committee. Mr.. jenkins drill
ed the performers, assisted by Miss
Ruth Perkins and Mr.. Pead.
Music, before the play and between
acts, was furnished by an impromptu
orchestra, with Mr.. Pead at the piano;

On the House side also to-day's

From an authoritative source IL was

The President told the Senate lead

added that the course which Congress
was seeking to pursue would lead
, toward war and not away from II, be.
cause a yielding Ia the present case
would result in further curtailment OF
American rights.
The President told the members OF
Congress that the only course that the
United States could safely pursue nov
was to stand on and by internationa
law. Any other course would result
iC making circumstances themselves
the sole guide, and under these condi.
tions it would not he long before the
fabric of international law Itself would
crumple and disappear.
