SUNDAY NIGHT CHAPEL

The services in Main Chapel SUM-
day night were conducted by Victor
Bogaret of Lexington who is serving
on the Belgian Relief Commission.
He was born in Belgium but has
been "a lnaturalized American for
about twenty years. He was, how
ever, in Belgium at the outbreak OF
the war. and witnessed the dark and
bloody deeds of the German armies
as they marched into neutral Bel
GUM and destroyed her towns and
murdered her men, women, and
children. IL was about these horrl-
BILE things that he had to tell. His
message moved every man and
woman present. Today there are
thousands of people starving in that
devastated countryside women and
children are actually dying because
they do not have food. His plea to
us-a rich and Christian nation-is
that we, for humanity's sake, help
those poor children who are slowly
starving to death.

TO ARMS

To arms, Columbia. nor let

While Bunker Hills great shaft

Spare Earth's young manhood TO

Fond dreams beneath the solemn

Make this outrageous war so vast

Yield up the glory Of thy stars !
Oh. wrest her beauty from vile
hands
IT'S she that now imploreth thee
And for her future is our cry;
To arms. To arms, Columbia !

Or moulder now in foreign dust,
We shrink TO draw the fateful sword
But duty calls US and we must;

And Patrick Henry's fearless call,
BY Jefferson's undying fame
And Liberty God meant for all,
To arms, Columbia, to arms
The weeping world now turns TO

In Great Jehovah's name, arise,

TITLE DuLCE

The meeting in Title Dulce Sat
urday evening was a very enthusi-
astic one. After an interval Of
several weeks il seemed very good
to have regular program. In an
essay Miss Engle set forth why we
are in college and what we should
gain while here TO make our lives
just what theey ought TO be-" A
very interesting autobiography was
given by Miss Eberhart. Our ex-
periences through childhood are
strikingly similar and il is pleasant
to recall them occasionally. Miss
Cunningham's readings, especially
Kentucky Belle" were very appro-
pirate in such a time Of war and
confusion. Miss Neal gave a delight
full original story of simple noun
tain girl who thru bitter experience
finally learned that home is sweet
no matter how humble and that
love is far better than riches and a
gay time. Piano duets by the Misses
Mabel Knight and Helen futile werS
beautiful and appreciated. The
last number on the program was
series Of extemporaneous speeches.
Such speaking is splendid practice
and it is hoped that much good may
come from it. L. ID. is looking for
ward to few more such gatherings
before school closes.

cause they had to leave the dear

settled in Boone Corridor" on the
second floor of Kentucky Hall. Es-
pecially are they glad that they are

mothers as Mrs. Clement is in
charge of the second floor and Miss
Raymond is on third. where she can
hear the slightest noise.
II is expected that the corner
stone will soon be laid and that by

Lettuce does not withstand heat
well and thrives therefore In the early
spring or late autumn. In order to
have the leaves crisp and tender II is
necessary to force the growth Of the
plant. The usual method OF growing
the plant for home use Is to SOW the
seeds broadcast In the bed and TO re-
move the leaves as rapidly as they
become large enough for use. II is
better. however, to SOW the seeds I'm
lows fourteen to sixteen inches apart,
and when the plants come up to thin
them to the desired distance. With
the heading type this should be about
twelve inches apart. This will result
In the formation Of rather compact
heads, and the entire plant may then
be cut for use.
Radishes are SO hardy that they may
be grown through the winter In cold
frames In the latitude Of Washington
and farther south I'm the open ground.
In the north they require hotbeds, but
can be sown In the open ground as
soon as the soil Is moderately warm.
They should be planted In drills twelve
to eighteen inches apart and thinned
slightly as soon as the plants are I'D.
On a quick. rich soil some OF the ear.
Tier varieties can be matured In from
three to four weeks after planting. II
the plants are allowed to remain long
In the open ground the roots loose their
crispness and delicate flavor, and In
order to secure a constant supply sue
cessive paintings should be made ev-
cry two weeks. One ounce OF radish
seed Is sufficient TO plant 100 feet Of
row. A large percentage Of the seed
terminates. and II the sowing is done
carefully later thinning may be IN
necessary. The first radishes to ap-
pear may be pulled as soon as they are
OF Sufficient size. and this viii leave
enough room for those that are q little
later. The plant is not suited to hot
weather, but should be planted In the
early spring and late autumn.

And TO thy glory bow,
The diadem of human hopes
Endazzling thy fair brow

One battle yet remains,
Awake and drive the god of war
From Off the ocean plains;
Let anguish cry no more TO Heaven
And countless millions moan,
Awake, Columbia, awake,
And flaming Mars dethrone

Sees man befriend his fellow man

Gibbons Logical Man to Meet
 Australian.

Jack Skelly, the best-posted box ing writer in America, has the fol- lowing to say concerning a Darcy Gibbons match: Darcy is undoubt- edly a great fighter, who has polish
 ed off many of our pugilistic stars;
 such men as Eddie McGoorty, Jim my Clabby Frank Loughbrey, Gus
 Christie, George (K. O. Brown,
 Buck Grouse, and others. But we still have three very formidable
 contenders of Darcy's weight, who
 might lower his colors in an extend ed combat. They are Jack Dillon, Bob Moha and Mike Gibbons. Dll- lon assures me he can make 160
 pounds, the Australian mlddleweight limit, and be perfectly fit for a
 gruelling mill. Moha guarantees
 he can get to 15S pounds, ring side, and be right for battle. Either of these hard, clever, aggressive, stalwart battlers would be very apt, indeed to make Darcy hustle for the worlds honors for the
 muchS disputed middleweight crown.
 Such noted Australians, however, as Snowy Baker and William F. Cor bett, (now the expert boxing editor of the sydney Referee), imagine
 that Mike Gibbons Is the most log ical contender to pit against their champion, but in my honest opinion would rather see either Dillon or Moha matched against Darcy. They
 may not be quite so artistic and scl- entilc as Mike. but they would put
 up a far more persistent, lambast-
 ing fight Gibbons has never fought Q 2O-round contest, and he is yet
 a mystery in the extended route."
