Duty Of the Individual
By DEAN DAVID KINLEY
Vice President Of the University IF Illinois

The war calls for sacrifice. From some it has taken life. From others
it has taken things dearer than life. From others still it has taken the
small thing we call property. What it may take from you and me is yet
to be seen. How great is our spirit of sacrifice? Shall we be ready, when
our country and humanity and God call us, to say that all that we have
we sacrifice and dedicate to our ideals Of duty and loyalty? In this hour
Of our countrys need, in this day Of world suffering, l would impress
upon university men and women particularly the thought that their high
est duty is the sacrifice of what they have to their contrys call. The
spirit of sacrifice is ennobling: Out of it great good comes, great deeds
arise and leadership is established.
The duty of sacrifice and service rests upon us all. In the provi~
dence of God to whom much is given from them much shall be required
in this day Of world trial. If not given willingly it will be taken. If it
must be taken the individual who loses it loses also the spiritual nobility
that marks the individual who is ready to sacrifice for and serve his
fellow men. If the leaders in thought, those who have gone farhest in
education, fail. how shall we expect those whose privileges have been
fewer or less to rise to the height of the ideaGsm that is the need Of
the hour? Duty is not general; it il. specific. 1t rests on the individual
and not on some fictitious group called society. Tits an individual matter
and each one must search his own heart to find whether he is living up
to the ideals and spirit of the God of his father and mother. Service,
sacrifice, is the prerogatiye and the duty Of the soldier, the citizen and
the Christian.

Now Famous War Tank Said
To Have Had a F%orerunner
In the Nineteenth Century.

Jules Verne in "Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea" gave an ink
ling of the ~present-day activities of
the submarine boats. III. G. Wells pre-
dicted the work Of air raiders, and
nov a historical deliver comes forward
with the statement that the tank had a
%forerunner in the sixteenth century.
John Napier, laird of Murchison, the
mathematician who invented loga-
rithms, devised a war engine m
thing after the style Of the tank.
Napier confided to Bacon's elder
brother certain "secret Inventions
for the purpose of confounding "ene-
mics Of Gods truth" They included
burning mirrors and s. chariot Of metal
double musket proof, the motion of
which was controlled by those within
and from which shot was discharged
through small holes, "the enemy be-
ing abased and uncertain what de-
tense to make against a moving mouth
of metal"
This description sounds much like
the early type Of tank and the "con-
forming" of the enemy, as predicted
by Napier, was to have been accom-
plished by the tanks Of the British
when they first appeared among the
Germans. Napier's engine never, went

HTo Take French Leave" Is
Phrase of Uncertain Origin.

The origin of the phrase sto take
French leave" has been the signal for
many q pathological contest, but the
outcome OF them, for the most part,
has been to increase interest in the
question. 1t has been plausibly sug-
geSted that the custom of disappearing
unobtrusively from q crowded recep-
ton, instead of elbowing ones way
through a throng of people, to reach
the hostess, is q custom which was the
natural outgrowth of courteous consid-
GRAFTON for everyone involved, was bor-
rowed by the English from the French.
Again, it has been suggested that the
French, la the phrase "French leave"
has no connection with the French peo-
pie, except to the extent of what is
implied in the etymology of the word
frank" meaning free, and that the
expression may mean simply n per-
mission not granted but assumed. But
the question is further muddled by the
fact that the French have a phrase
"prendre congo q Ia maniere A%nglaise,"
or ''se retirer a lAnglaise," with pre-
cisely the same significance, with the
hit at the English. In Germany the
phrase is Identical with the English.
From Hilpert's German dictionary it
would appear that it is more than 100
years old, while the custom which it
celebrates, Withdrawing without final
leave taking, was an established prac-
tice in Germany 800 years ago.

Phonetic Spelling.

A good story is told by Lady Lo'
gin concerning a coachman named
William Turley, whom her husband,
Sir John Login, had in his service,
and who ultimately became private
coachman to Queen Alexandra.
He was (writes the authoress) 9
very honest, trustworthy man, but I
often wondered whether, in the royal
service, he made out his accounts in
the original fashion he used to do
with US. He bad IN ~unbounded talent
for phonetic s. cling. His first month
ly stable bill puzzled my husband not
6! little. On the left-hand side of the
paper appeared a column Of figures,
and on the right-hand side a row OF
capital "A's.''
"What does this near, Turley?" ask
ed Sir John.
THAT'S A, Sir John! !"

Good Things for the Family.

For a m~ake-believe apple pie to
serve in a hurry, the following will be
a success: Cut a few w%ell-hayored,
tart apples, put into a deep granite pie
plate, season with sugar, butter, cinna-
mon. nutmeg or in any way to suit the
taste of the family. Over the top place
slices OF buttered bread, set into the
oven and bake until the apple sauce
has absorbed and softened the bread.
Serve with cream and sugar. Such a
pie will be found harmless for the
children's dessert. 1t is also q good
way to use leftover slices of bread.
However, we are not supposed to have
leftover slices of bread these DAYS, as
the old custom which was common in
grandmother's day is being revived,
that of cutting the loaf as the bread
Is needed on the table. A very eco
nomical way Of avoiding l%eft-overs.
