War Savings Day in Tennessee, on
Saturday, March 20, proved most
wonderful success generally speaking.
There were 50 few places in the state
that failed to stage comm6nity rallies
according to the program and towns
were SO rare which did not come up
to expectations in practical results
that the state director has declared the
project a success everywhere.
Seven thousand people in the Vol
unteer State heard the gospel Of Thrift
preached from ia platforms by 17S
gifted speakers. In addition to these
there were other thousands who wit
messed great street demonstrations in
the larger cites ard still other thous-
ands had the war savings plea placed
before their eyes in slogans, stream
ers, banners, posters and every sort
of device that ingenious men and wo-
pen could devise to emphasize the sub
Ject holding the boards that Gay,
Statesmen, saleswomen and sales
children were everywhere in the state
urging people TO buy stamps. to start
their Thrift cards if they had not al

Bow your head for the dauntless dead.
In grief and glory lift up your face!
Raise a shout to the winds about to voice
the triumph of all the race,
Yes, for still what the human will may

Still we find the hand and the mind to
dare the. devil and see it through
The hand and the brain to dare the pain,
till soul is lord, and the dream come
true.
Caesars pride may debar and divide
mems hearts from men with the spears

These are brothers that make all others
brothers and lovers from shore to

Mon, not men, one spirit again in the
struggle Godward forevermore.
Each in the race, not each in his place
the king and the beggar, the sage and
the clod,
Llves or dies, must sink or rise On the
road Of the ages that man has trod
All together we brave the weather-the
upward march of the soul toward God.
Though to the earth, whence we all have
birth, their bodies sank when the
worst was done,
Not with these down the baffied breeze
their souls sank, soaring beyond

Upward ever and on forever. till the
haven Of all true hearts be won.
Hail, all hail. in the beating gale still

The motors hum and the stars CRY.

The College in War Time

TN "MUNSEY'S" Henry Rood pre-
sents an outline of the work that
- American universities are doing and
sacrifices they are making for the
war. AS an instance of conservative in
stitution of moderate size, far removed
from the centre of the world of action,
he mentions Dartmouth College, situated
among the granite hills Of New Hamp-
shire
"ln such remote location, il anywhere,
one might expect to find the war spirit less
militant but what do we see in fact?
"The day before Herr Won Bernstorff re-
ceived his passports there were 1,494 stu
dents at Dartmouth. At the recent COM
mencement, one year after we had been at
war, approximately so per cent of the un-
dergraduates were in active service.
"Of the graduating class OF 1918, orgi-
service, second was held prisoner of war
by Germany, while Srhad remained to COM
plete their senior year, almost all of these
being technical students. With the 81 in
caps and gowns were about 40 in army and
navy uniform who had been able to obtain
leave of absence long enough to be present.

per cent Of the entire class Of 1918 would
be in the service Of the United States.
This is an inspiring record, when one re-
members that in addition to these seniors
more than 500 other students had left
freshman, sophomore and junior classes
and were already wearing the uniform;
that many Of the faculty, including Presi-
dent Hopkins, were occupying posts. of

where, and that Is Dartmouth men had

Similar experiments made in my labora-

results. These animals were given their
choice between two food mixtures, one ade-
quate for growth, the other inadequate,
owing to the deficiency, or absence, of some
one factor essential for growth. Although
these foods were alike in physical proper

rats could distinguish between them by any

For its hands were busy binding

And sorrow-softened hearts were trying
