Eileen, whose acting was fully the equal
of Tiel's. "However. my brother will ex-

"Yes.' said Tiel "if Mr.. Craigie hap

"They arc looking splendid" I said,
with enthusiasm.
He sat down, and we exchanged a few
more remarks on the weather and the

merely a systematic cognition of the
principles, the summation and har-
nomination of the deepest relations
of all physical and mental essence;
but it is the first and the last of all
sciences, from which all of them
have emerged and in which all of
them finally submerge. The sciences
are the building stones of philosophy,
from which it CONSTITUTES the system
of the universe, in which all in its
proper place, and parts are united to
a harmonious totality. True phil
osophy has but one final goal, and
that is truth. Our text says, Truth
shall make you free" Natively in
every son of man is found the true
elements of political, moral and re-
ligious liberty. That form of po-
litical and religious economy that
most nearly approaches truth in all
its parts, is most constructive to the
veal of men and most conducive of
human development and happiness.
The question of Plate, What is
TRUTH" has been the age long and
world wide question.
What is truth? and how may l
know that what / know is true?
Facts and objects in themselves are
neither true nor false; they are.
Their representations in the human
mind may be true or false. An idea
is true if it is an accurate and COM
plete mental image of the fact or
object, or any of its parts or at
tributes which it represents. A
negative is true if it denies that
which exists not. But in all in
stances ideas only are true or false;
facts and objects are neither. Truth
is synthetical. 1t is the unison in
mans cognition and cognitions. Take
away self-conscious intelligence,
and there is no truth. No being be-
low man knows truth or error. A

If any of you would feel the de-

bouquet, which, by arrangement of
colors and disposition of leaflets,
should suggest, in floral language,
your feelings and thoughts, you
would first go over your flower beds
and select from among Flora's off

purpose, and then arrange and en-
Irvine them into a bouquet to your
taste and wishes.
Please imagine that wish to pre-
sent to you in this baccalaureate

propriate mental and moral flowers,
unfolding to you my thoughts, faith
and feelings, my best wishes for you

Until all the facts are known and

The Worlds Prayer Unto God
BY HAL POD

BY HAL POD
Twas just year ago today
We took up arms against the Hun.
If we would win, then we must pay
The price-the blood of loyal sons.
We know we're fighting for the right,
Wen win. And DER this veil of tears
Where alPs now dark, we'll cast the light
To guide the world through coming years.
Oh, God above, to Thee we pray,
For Thou, the sparrow's fall doth heed.
We ask Thee, Lord, to light the way
In this, our hour of greatest need.
Oh rid this world of tyranny,
Our all in all we'll sacrifice
If Thou will give us victory.
We're only glad to pay the price.
So guide US, Lord, on paths of right,
Give power unto our unsheathed sword
That we may conquer wrong and might
This is our prayer to Thee, Oh, Lord.
The world but asks that it be free,
That Thou will end this reign of strife.
This is our prayer. Oh, God, to Thee.
Well give our gold, our blood, our life
Today's the day of Liberty,
We're out to fight and win we must
Our gold will set this old world free,
Well win, because our cause is just.

VELOCITY OF BIG SHELLS
Time Is Required for Stone to
Fall to Center of Earth

Studying the velocity of shells and
bullets fred in the war led Maurice
Sanger, a French geOneter, to turn
to the old question of the time It
would take stone to fall to the center
of the earth. His conclusion was that
1t would take about 20 minutes "a sec
onds.
Gassenddi, who gave the subject
much thought in the last century, made
the time 20 minutes even. Mersenne
on the other hand cOntended that six
hours would be required.
Sanger says that as the stone ap-
preached the center of the earth it
would be drawn downward by the core
of the earth and upward by the shell
which it had already penetrated. The
rate at which the density Of the earth
varies or increases as we penetrate to
greater depths is unknown. Saugers
formula is based upon considerations
of the moment of inertia of the earth.
as calculated from the procession OF
the equinOxes. which agree with OBJ
servations on the density of the earth
conducted in mine shafts.
If shaft were driven right through
the earth the stone would appear at the
AntipOdes after SO minutes 80 seconds
and then return to its starting point,
at which it would make its reappeAr-
ance at the end of hour II minutes.
