VIRGINIA SOCIAL

About thirty students OF Virginia
extraction met at the Y. M. c. A.
Building last Wednesday night to
enjoy an oldfashion Virginia social.
That old game which has made vir-
ginia famous. the Virginia Reel. was
played with great enthusiasm.
Marsh-mallows were toasted and a
general good time enjoyed. The
members Of the Virginia Club are
looking forward TO another such
social with great anticipations.

W0MAN'S RIGHTS

With respect 10 rights the princi-
pie applies 10 woman the same as to
man in as much that in creation
men and women were not created
complete creatures in themselves
but were introduced into the world
with enough OF differences In each
that when they are conjoined they
make a complete whole. These diff
ferences are not differences Of op-
position but OF conjunction.
Failure 10 observe this and other
vital laws of society Is. I think,
largely responsible for the recent
agitation along the line OF what Is
called Women's Rights.
II doesn't seem TO me that IL re-
mains within the province OF any
legislative body TO dictate the so
cial position Of any part OF human
ity. People, in the first place. follow
the line OF least resistance In all
cases. As much in the realm OF psy-
chology and human action as in the
world Of physics, where bodies and
densities operate under II. Conse-
quently. II woman has introduced
herself into the commercial world
IL is because there exists an econom-
ic condition which demands her &C.
ton there. She takes 10 the earning
Of her livelihood more as result OF
all her knowledge than because OF
the fact that she is trying 10 beat
men out OF what seems their logical
employment.
What I mean by the result OF all
her knowledge is her general atti-
tude of what constitutes necessity
and what she should have. Later
then. comes the desire 10 possess
these necessities and the intensity
Of her desire determines the degree
TO which she will take up CONNER
cial work Of the many kinds In
which she is known TO engage.
There is quite another aspect TO
the proposition. however. That OF
the cases where women take up
commercial and professional work
from necessity, that is where the
apparent needs OF the family de-
mand her services as an Garner.
In other words the social side OF
the family is neglected that It's
physical or primary needs be salts
fed.
These condition. take TO be the
result OF economic conditions which
make women's actions with respect
TO industry. natural consequences Of
a Misrepresentation Of natural and
sociological laws.
Woman is not by nature an active
creature but rather a passive one
considered with man. BY this !
mean that her chief characteristics
in natural environments manifest
themselves always In passive tenden-
cies. In contrast TO this mans
actions are naturally energetic,
while perhaps not any more progress
sive as a whole yet in him lies the
initiative not only in the natural but
in the psychological worlds. u is
evidences OF this principle which
have brought some TO think that men
were intended 10 rule when In
reality they are merely carrying
out their natural Unborn instincts.

The meeting Of the Young Wo-

day night was led by Miss Lille
Moore Of the College Hospital. The
topic was Social Settlement Work
in the Mountains" The leader has
had wide experience in this work.
She drew numerous illustrations
from her work at the hospital at
Grey Hawk which is doing a great
work for the people Of that CON-
munity. She spoke chiefly OF the
difficulties her hearers would have
should they attempt work Of this
kind. The advice, coming from
one who knows from actual exper-
fence, was very helpful. The Y.
w. C. A. was very fortunate in Sc
curing Miss Moore for this meeting.
Solos by Misses Ambrose and Fort
added 10 the value Of the program.

Thanksgiving afternoon at 100
all the departments gathered at the
gymnasium to back their several
teams by. what proved TO be, the
best systematic roofing in the his
tory OF departmental athletics in
Berea. The entire program was
peculiar in that exceptionally fine
spirit was shown by every one.
First on the program was basket
ball. In the elimination series the
College and Academy teams we're
victorious over the Normal and vo-
cational teams. In the final series
the Academy won easily in a rough
fought game that ended in the Acad-
emy's favor, 1874. Blakey, vanWin-
kle, Buchanan. Morris and McKin-
ney particularly starred. Then the
Academy girls defeated the College
women in an interesting game Of
captain ball by a score Of 80.
While these indoor events were
taking place the last cross country
run Of the season was held, and all
three winners were OF the Academy
Department Sharp, f7:O5 (broke
college record, Adams and McCon-
mel. :.
II was Academy's day and we
went there TO win, and win we did.
An old student remarked that that
was the greatest day in the history
OF the Academy. II simply shows
what we are capable OF in athletics.

THANKSGIVING ToAsTs

After the interment OF the good
turkey in the human buryine
ground, wrapped in the dark folds
Of cranberry sauce and mashed po-
tatoes, the Academy participants
were entertained by the hot air
spoutings from some Of the
Academy's most eminent speakers,
Professor Cunningham, the little
man worn of on top, shook both his
fore fingers vigorously as he intro
duced each speaker, since II had
fallen TO his lot to act as toastmas-
ter. His voice had that ring that
closely resembles the sound that
comes from pounding on a full tin
pail, and his little, round, bald head
bobbed necessarily backward and
forward.
First on the program came Clyde
Evans. who gave the toast, Our
selves" Following this r. Thesius
Johnson gave a toast TO the girls
that made every boy move just a
little TO the girl beside him. Then
Miss Lou McDaniels put a halo
around the head OF each boy by the
toast, "Our Brothers" Next came
J. Russell Whitaker, who toasted
the faculty-telling Of their hun
dred and one good points and touch
ing very lightly on their thousand
and one bad ones. J. Rufus Nor
gan followed carrying his audience
heavenward in his excellent toast,
America" The last toaster, Cliff
ford Mckinney, made a few from
the other planets feel uncomforta-
Bile, when he failed 10 mention their
beloved homeland in his toast, The
World" A minute and half talk
by Mrs. Peck; a two minute joke
by Professor Peck regarding up
you come" and down you CO." and
an announcement by "the jolly dean
of our Academy" TO the effect that
all girls would remain to wash
dishes, but that no boys would be
allowed TO remain, closed the pro-
gram. Twas an evening that will
not be forgotten for some time by
the students OF the Academy-at
least not till next THANKSGIVING.

BIG ARMY HoWlTzERS
U. S. to Have Larger Guns Than Des-
troyers Of Belgian Forts

Army ordance experts are at work
ON designs for huge field howitzers
as large or larger than the German
42.centimeter guns which wrecked
Belgian and French forts early in the
war. They will be at least l6'inch
ciliber with range of II to 10 miles,
hurting a projectile weighing more
than ton and carrying huge amount
Of high explosive.
In addition to placing several OF
these mammoth weapons along the
coast line for mobile defense against
naval attack, army officials now are
considering the creation of a special
regiment equipped with six OF the
howitzers to work as a unit OF the
mobile army. The problem confront
ing the designers in that regard is TO
distribute the enormous weight of the
gun and carriage in such way that
it can be moved over any good road.
That difficulty is a determining fac
tor in American heavy artillery de-
signs. Around a few of the largest
cities well-ballasted roads which
would support the weight of the huge
guns can be found, but even such a
highway as the Boston post road,
from Boston to New York, it is said
has many sections so lightly built that
the great weight would crush through
For these reasons it is planned to
build the new howitzers primarily for
transportation by rail on special cars
| The regiment would not be attached
to any army corps as is the case with
lighter artillery, but would be direct
ly under the orders of the general
staff. to be sent to a point where ii
was desired to blast way through
an enemys feldworks. 1t is believed
possible. however, that the weight
can be so distributed on several car
riages drawn by motor tractors thai
It could be dragged over any fairly
wellballasted highway

Venizelos said:
Last week | summoned you to a
demonstration to show you what TO
do. Now exhort you to send a com
mittee before the king and say to him e:
Your majesty you were the victim
of persons who persuaded you there
would be a certain victory and you
thought you would violate the consti.
tuition. The people do not approve
of these acts. The reservists tele
graph you that they are ready to fol
low you, because they think you al
ways will remain neutral.
Elections are necessary, but you
must not use your influence political
ly because the results would be des
tructive. The present government is
absolutely necessary. The premier
alexander zamis) is an excellent
man. You should give the government
full political authority. You must now
show the entente powers most benevo
lent neutrality and exercise the army
in preparation for a possible rupture
of existing conditions. The liberia
party is confident as regards your
pest"

accepted; otherwise will do my best.
