PUZZLES

Where can a man buy cap for his
knee,
Or key for lock of his hair?
Can his eyes be called an academy
Because there are pupils there?
In the crown of his head, what gems
are set?
Who travels the bridge of his nose?
Can he use when shingling the roof
of his mouth,
''The nails on the ends of his toes?
What does he raise from the slip of
tongue
Who plays on the drums of his ears
And who can tell the cut and style
OF the coat his stomach wears?
Can the crook of his elbow be sent
to jail,
And If so, what did it do?
How does he sharpen his shoulder
blades?
I'll be hanged if I know-do YOU?

LENT BEGINS MARCH 8
1t Closes Forty Days After, Begin
ming Sunday, April %.

The season of Lent is near at hand.
| In the Roman Cathode, Greek and
Episcopal churches Lent is observed.
| It covers the forty days from Ash
Wednesday to Easter Eve. and is con-
sidered as a time during which GER
tain worldly practices are to be in.
termitted. This year Lent opens on
Wednesday, March and closes on
Sunday, April %.
Lent is the ecclesiastical season
known in the Latin church, from at
least the fourth century, as Quad
ragesmia." lrenaeus in passage
which, though not free from Difficult
ties is not clear enough in its general
scope, mentions that the custom OF
keeping a fast before Easter Sunday
was quite old even in his day, but that
no Uniformity of observance had up TO
that time been established. some
thinking that they ought TO fast for
one day, others for two days and 9th.
ers have further peculiarities.
In Tertullian'8 days the Good Fri.
day fast at all events was general, and
elsewhere he indicates his opinion
LnuI NnFlSlIdH SOuSHI " COlIlhlSihOid lc
by q religious fast all the time during
which the bridegroom was taken
away from them" This period of
fasting was gradually extended, but
still without uniformity of practice.
AS regards to the manner OF OBJ
serving Lent. various degrees of strict
ness have prevailed in the church.
Perfect abstinence from all food
every fasting day until evening is in
theory at least required, and it has
also been considered desirable that
public worship with sermon should
be attended daily, with frequent com
especially on Saturday and
Sunday. Public amusements especial |
ly stage plays are prohibited and the
of religious festivals, as
also of birthdays and marriages, is /
held to be unsuitable, and increased |
diligence in almsgiving and deeds of
charity is enjoined.

In Annual Exhibition.

Members of the Argonaut Literary

the program for thei rannual exhibit
ton. The stage was decorated in
colonial style and formed a beautiful
background for the evenings enter
tainment. The rustic fire place, an

phere of the former Revolutionary
days.

'cial front section of he chapel being
reserved for them.
Music for the evening was furnish

dent members. The musical pro-
gram consisted mainly of the old time
and stately dance music for the min
net. Parts of the program however

mers Night Dream" wedding march,
by Mendelssohn, and very pleasing
selections were played.
The opening part of the program
included the following numbers:

German Document Asserts Agreement

viii Be Sunk.

Washington. Feb. 29.-Germany
through Ambassador Won Bernstorff
formally notified the United States
that there is no such thing as a mer'
chairman armed for defensive pur.
poses.
Germanys position, very frankly
stated at q conference between the
ambassador and the secretary of state,
was that armament of any character
is offensive armament so far as mer-
chant vessels are concerned. AS a re-
suit OF the conference, the submarine
situation is materially grayer. al
though there is still a possibility
that the material points of difference
will be subject to further diplomatic
negotiation.
Stand Governs Vienna.
The ambassador came to the state
department on an appointment made
at his own request Previously he had
conferred with Baron Erich Zwiedinek,
the Austrian charge. The latter had
received instructions from Vienna that
the orders sent to the German ambas-
sador we're to govern him in his nego-
tiations with the United States. AS a
result, the statement of Count Won
Bernstorff represented the joint posi-
tion of the Teutonic powers.
AS soon as Ambassador Won Bern.
storff left the state department Sec
Rotary Lansing sent out word that he
had left memorandum. He did not
state what the contents were. but an.
nounced that it will be submitted to
the president.
Holds Promise Not Violated.
The German ambassador very frank
ly told Secretary Lansing that there
could be no reason to assume that the
promises previously made by Germany
that the rules of international law
would be strictly observed were
abridged by the determination to sink
armed merchantmen on sight and with
out warning. Peaceful ships would
have every protection, he said. but Ger
many cannot assume that any armed
vessel. no matter where her guns are
carried, is a peaceful ship. And he
insisted that secret orders of the Brit
ish admiralty have absolutely abridged
and nullified the pledges previously
given by Ambassador Spring Rice in
August, 1914, that British merchant
men would not use their guns except
in defense.
Charges impress President.
The future action Of the United
States in the present submarine con.
troversy with Germany may hinge en-
tirely on the proof that Germany has
presented to the state department that
British merchant vessels must resist
all hostile submarines 1t was learned
that President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing are materially impressed with
the charges that the allies themselves
violated international law in ordering
captains of merchant vessels to attach |
submarines on sight.
