Of such an instrument will vibrate
when those of similar instrument

upon. In this case, after the explosive
had become thoroughly dry upon the
strings, another bass viol was brought
near and the strings sounded. At a
certain note the iodide of nitrogen on
the prepared instrument exploded. 1t
was found that the explosion occurred
only when a rate Of vibration of sixty

Allen received a message that his
wife was sick at their home at

A Siamese child. whether boy OF
girl, wears its hair in little topknot
until it has attained the age of eleven
or twelve years. On reaching this age
the topknot cutting ceremony takes
place. The child is dressed in its best
and amid much rejoicing of relatives
and friends the topknot is cut. one
lock at time. The head is then com.
pletely shaved by the priests. All
guests invited to the ceremony bring
presents, usually money, which is

TO GIVE preliminary REPORT

The next meeting Of the State
Board of Regents will be held in
Fargo, beginning January 18th.
his meeting is regarded as quite
an important one because the
preliminary report Of the COM
mission having i'm charge The sur
vey of the educational institu-
tons of the state will be made at
that time.
This report will roughly outline
the charges recommended by the
commission to the board and the
complete report will probably not
be filed for sixty days. The pre-
llmlnary survey is being conduct
ed by DR.. w. II. Bawlen. of the
U. S. Department of Education at
Washington. by DR.. L. b. Craig

has been president of an agricul-
tural college. IL state normal and
two state universities. and by DR..
l.. ID. Cot1Inan. Dean Of the Col
lego Of Education Of the Univer-
sitX of Minnesota.
Each head of the state cduca-
lional institutions has been ex-
tended an invitation to attend this
meeting and offer suggestions. in
addition to those submitted to the
board by the members of the com
mission.
The meeting will be held at one
of the buildings at the Agricul-
tural college. Later On meetings
of the board will be held at the
other educational institutions.

mates by Government officials as
to the cost of armor i'll Govern

these estimates is S238 a ton. BY
contrasting $40. the price we
have paid the private manufac-
turers with $238, the cost at
which we might have manufac-
tured this armor in a Government
plant, if is possible to obtain an
inkling as to the reason we do
not now have more preparedness
to show for the colossal appro-
priations made for that purpose.
l note there are thirty-one di-
rectors of the Navy League. The
personal fortunes of these thirty
one men. by the most conserva-
tive estimate, aggregate $780,
600, 900, or $3,OOO,O0O to each di-
rector, l contend that any board
of directors whose individual for

hardly be considered as represen-
tatives of the views, feelings and
heartbeats of the great mass of
the American people.
On November 10th l publically
stated that inasmuch as the Navy
League insisted that its manage
ment and hackers are entirely
free from any atmosphere of war
trafficking influences, would, as
soon as Congress convenes, in
troduce a resolution providing
for an investigation of the League
specifically requiring j. P. Nor

League, past and present, to take
the responsibility of testifying,

letter from you threatening a
suit. l consider your letter moth
ing more nor less than an attempt
to intimidate me into abandoning
my plans to seek Congressional
investigation of your orgainza-
ton. When I am right. the Navy
League can not ihtimidate me.
I now desire in all good faith
to take the responsibility of max.
ing a suggestion to the Navy Lea
que. I suggest that you call a
meeting of the Board of Directors
and go on record in favor of the
Government manufacture of bat
tleship. submarines, armament,
munitions, etc, in order that the
people may obtain the prepared
ness which you are advocating al
cost. ] recommend that you either
do this or fold your tent and
quietly take your departure from
