To extend to a number of industries

To enforce agreements with indus

To encourage employers to form as
sociations by industry groups to deal
collectively With abor demands: and
To press informally for adjustment of

Debating activities at Georgetown Uni
versty Law School look promising for the
coming year. with one challenge already
received from the debating council of the
University Of South Carolina. The chal
lenger has always been one of George
towns keenest rivals for debating honors,
and it Will be remembered that the south
ern university triumphed over George
towns debating team at the meeting in
Washington last winter.
In addition to the South Carolina inter-
collegiate debate, arrangements had been
made for a debate with Columbia Uni
yersity of New York, but owing TO the
fact that Columbia called off ali student
activities. only the South Carolina debate
was held. This year. however it is noped
that additional intercollegiate debates may
be scheduled. The usual preliminary and
final prize debates between the societies
in the school viii still be held

points out. that has ever been written.
The principal forms in which silver Is

silver. Veins of native silver are to be
found in rocks in Cornwall. Saxony. ST.

Argentite-a compound Of silver and
sulphur-occurs IN districts similar TO
those where native silver is located.
Red silver ore-containing perhaps 60
per cent of siIver-appears rusty and
crystalline; il is abundant in Mexico
and California
Horn silver is 4 compound with chlo-
rine. and occurs plentiful!y in South
America.
The chief silver producing mine in
the world in 1915 was the Anaconda,
situated in the United tSates of Amer

This was the real beginning of the
