 A cry of warning! A shriek of hor- TOT! Margaret started up almost par alyzed as heavy urn from the balcony crashed to the floor just back of Ken nedy's chair. The whole room was in an uproar.
 Kennedy not wanting to subject Mar gs.ret to further publicity, paid the check waved aside the profuse apologies of the management and hurried out. "Of course it fell' he reassured her. "No one would have set it off. I haven't any enemies bitter enough for that"

UNIVERSITY MEN
 ALL MAKING GOOD Not a Single One Taking the Military Course Turned
 Down at Camp

University. May 26.-(Specia.l.)- is a significant fact that not a single univer- sity student passed upon by Captain Min negerode at the university and sent to Fort McPherson has been turned down. Captain Minnegerode, the army officer in charge of military training at the uni versity, has been an enthusiastic and at the same time a careful instructor of the students and applications that have gone through him have been very care- fully considered.
 Captain Minnegerode and his army ser geants with the help of the student off, ffcers of the university, will be in charge of the military work at the university summer school, and the opportunities af- forded for acquiring knowledge of mili- tary tactics and discipline will be invalu- able for teachers who expect to use mill tary in their own schools and also for students who want to prepare themselves for the greatest usefulness to their coun- try.
 When the call comes for active service and the conscription law is in force, the
 
 military formations and military science in general will have an advantage over all others. Of course. young men under H are not likely to be called for service soon, but there is no telling what a day may bring forth and the idea is growing that all young men are the better for military training, if for nothing more than the ideas of discipline it imparts. Then, too. the drill masters for soldiers must be expert men in military science. Recognizing these facts, the university summer school has instituted courses IT military training for this summer, and while regular summer school student may go in with regular lessons he may at the same time acquire proficiency IT military without extra expense. The wis dom of the university's move in this di- rection is evidenced by the interest being shown in the movement all over the state and the prospects are that Captain Min negerode and his forces are going to have a busy summer of it.
