Dear Miss Fairfax:

been going out steadily with the
young man to whom I an be-
trOthed.
Until the sudden outbreak OK

believe that the question OF mat
rimony should not be considered
at the present time, iuasmuch as
the man in the case IS subject 70

of supporting a crippled man for
life, to go ahead and marry.

WAR REDUCES COLLEGE
ATTENDANCE GREATLY


Colleges Of the country. especially
those controlled by Catholic and Pro-
testant bod 'es. are held by most OF
their presidents to be suffering from
the war to a larger extent than any
other institutions. the churches not
excepted Colleges OF the Middle
West are said to be feeling the finan-
Cial stress, due to falling off of stu
dent fees Some colleges have lost as
high as 60 percent Of their enroll
ments. while the extreme prices have
carried away many students who had
been successfully earning their main
tenance. The war demands for con-
tributiOns hit the hearts OF the COL
leges. since many Of their own men
are to benefit In the 7. N. Q. A.
campaign to raise s25. 100000 many
colleges exceeded their quotas as
much IS so percent
In spite OF oil. the colleges are or
gauizing to keen in touch with their
men. sending each former student
weekly letter. and doing everyth 'ng
in their power to keep IN the college
spirit while the men are in canton
ments and at the front There IS re-
norted IN no single quarter a disposi-
ion to advance COLLEGE interests. but
rather to use the college snirit to
maintain the moral fiher Of the men.

THE C~oNQUERER.

It's easy to laugh when the skies are
blue
And the sun is Singing bright;
Yes, easy to laugh when your friends
are true
And there's happiness in sight;
But when hope has fled and the skies
r gray,
And the friends of the past have turn
ed away, 4,
All, then indeed it's a hero feat
To c~onjure a laugh when the storm is
Ger
And your ship is safe in port;
Yes, easy to laugh when you're on the
shore
Secure from the tempest's sport;
But when wild waves wash Ger the
storm-swept deck
And your gallant ship is a battered
wreck,
All, that is the time when it's we'll
worth while
To look in the face of defeat with a
smile.
It's easy to laugh when the battles
fought
And YOU know that the victory's won;
Yes, easy to laugh when the prize you
sought
It's yours when the race is run;
But here's to the mar who can laugh
: when the blast
Of adversely blows; he will conquer at
last,
For the hardest mar in the world to
beat
Is the man who can laugh in the face
| of defeat.

TO KNOW ALL IS TO FORGET ALL

If l knew you and you knew me-

And with an inner sight divine
The meaning of your heart and mine,

And clasp 'our hands in friendliness;
Our thoughts would pleasantly agree
If l knew you and you knew me.
If l knew you and you knew me,
As each one knows his own self, we
Could look each other in the face
And see therein a truer grace.
Life has so many hidden woes,
So many thorns for every rose;
The "why" of things our hearts would
see,
If I knew you and yu knew me.
