IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR BELGIUM

fT1HE United States passionately desired
= to save Belgium and to render her
position in the world secure. 1t is clearly
her belief that the peace treaty is the
best bulwark for her integrity and that
its provisions, including the league cove
gant, guarantee happy future for civili-
zation, for Belgium's Parliament has
ratified the document unanimously.
Belgium's opinion in the matter is
worth something. There was no phase
Of the German scourge from which she
did not cruelty suffer. And now she be-
holds her salvation in the very instru-
ment which the American Senate, so
eager during the war that she should not
perish, now hesitates to indorse.

That Warm Pink Sauce

HNE never knows just what will arouse the
~ great worlds lurking passions. Not long
ago we published a book. We had toiled over
it, sat up late at night matching the groan
of Pine street trolleys with groans OF our
own as we swinked Ito use Jimmy Rich
ardson's pet word) to set down thoughts
that seemed TO us freghtcd with passion
and poAsivcness. Underneath somewhat
1ippant varnish We strovc valiaDtly to ad-
minister ideas and surmises, some of them
our own. some of them baggcd from unsus -
pecting friends. Very well. The book came
out And what was it that aroused com
ment and argument? Was it our carefully,
compiled philosophy. our desperately conned
love episodes, our laboriously fashioned plot:
Nay, it was n certain warm pink sauce,
which we had caused the hero of the tale
to pour over dish We described as Eggs
Samuel Butler.
THAT ''warm pink sauce, which was a

our humble tale. The BOokrRan. admirable

Peggy Shippen has discussed it in charming

the impression that the sauce we had IN minu

they had sold all their copies. Hereafter we

Shippen is kind enough to say, 1t Is only

The description of the delicacy, as we de-
yised it, was as follows:
An Egg Samuel Butler may be \sum-

Worlds Greatest Middle Distance Runner
A LTHOUGH there was considerable
activity in track and field athletics
on Saturday. there was nothing to in
dicate that this season will produce any
exceptionally good men. Several per-
formances were worthy of note. but
even these cannot be called good and
are not up to the ones Of before the
war.
This only goes to show us that the
let up in athletics has affected both the
colleges and schools, and that it will
take some time for the boys to get back
in the fine shape that they were in
before the war.
This only will come through compe-
tition and. judging from the number of
meets held and the great interest taken
by the schools and colleges. that time is
not far distant.
Penn Still Weak
Penn won from the Navy by good
margin. hut the results of this meet
should not be too pleasing for Lawson
Robertson. 1t has shown one thing
which Robertson knew. but the general
! fan reading the outcome will not notice.
and that is that Penn has a good bunch
of first string men, for the majority OF
the seconds and thirds went to the Navy
men.
In the larger meets Penn's firsts will
not be so numerous and will need these
second string men to bring up the total
and they are not there. However. the
Penn trainer did not work his men tc
the limit and could have doubled up or
some of his men. This he will do wher
it is necessary and this should bolster
up tie weak spots considerably.
Lafayette Wins
Lafayette won from Stevens with
case. but not one performance in thu
meet can be noted as up to the STANDARD
set in the previous meets that these col
lcges have staged. The two star men o
the Lafayette team, Crawford ant
