HAZING SEASON
ENDS WITH LAST
NIGHTS FRACAS

Last nights fracas on the col
Iege campus officially ended the
freshman-sophomore hazing for
the school year.
The sophomores successfully
carried off their initial social func-
ton in the form of a>wiener roast
about a mile from the Watch Tow
er, while the freshies in vain
secured the countryside for the
second year men. The sopho-
mores repaired to the Watch Tow
er inn, and after about fifteen min
utes of merry making, were storm
ed by the freshmen forces. After a
short free-for-all on the veranda
of the inn, the hostiIities ceased at
the request of the management
The freshmen retired to the
woods in the vicinity to await the
home-going sophs. The second
year girls were escorted safely
home, and then the fellows reor-
ganized on the athletic field of the
college to await Developments.
Finally the sophomores sent a del
egation of five to the dormitory to
reconnoiter. The yearlings, think
ing this constituted the strength
of the upper classmen, stormed
them braveIy. But the remaining
sophs came from the field on the
double.
The freshmen army, numbering
&c, stormed the IS sophs. A battle
royal followed, lasting about half
an hour, in which time the sOphO-
mores tied up all the freshmen but
one, who after meeting all corners
with his fists for sometime, left the
scene of action in a passing auto.
A love feast was called by the
two class heads and the freshmen
accepted the terms of uncondition-
al surrender which the sophs ad
vanced, and then both classes as
scented to letting this end all inter-
class hostilities for the year.
While a few swollen lips and
blackened eyes are being displayed
by both sides today, no one was
hurt to any extent, and general
good feeling is restored.

Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or tho
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous. irrita-
be and may be respondent; it makes any
one 50.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the. kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for . sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. BY enclosing ten cents to DIR.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you can not find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at first-yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at q
time. The effect is amazing-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appear nee of abundance; an i'm
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for q few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair, and lots
Of it If you will just try little Dan

President Asserts Americans Arc
in Favor of Forming So

CRITICS ARE Warned
Wilson in New York Address Asserts
He 10 Going to Peace Conference
to Battle for League With
Renewed .Viqor.

New York, March Elm an address
here on the eve of his return to Paris,
President Wilson told the American
people that he was going to the peace
conference to battle with renewed
vigor for a creation of league of ma
lions.
"The first thing l am going to tell
the people on the other side of the
water is that an overwhelming ma
jority of the American people is in
favor of the league of nations said
the President.
Speaking after former President
Taft had expounded the main features
of the proposed covenant of nations,
Mr.. Wilson told the vast audience,
which filled the Metropolitan opera
house, his opinions of opponents OF
the league plan in America.
No Party Can Claim League.
mo party has the right to appro;
pirate this issue and no party will, in
the long run, dare oppose it," he as
serted.
Asserting that the league of nations
is meant as notice to all outlaw ma
tions'' that the great peoples of the
world will no longer tolerate interna-
tional crimes, the President said that
Europe was "bit sick at heart at
this very moment because it seems
that statesmen have no vision and that
the only vision has been the vision of
the people"
And I am amazed-not alarmed,
but amazed-that there should be in
some quarters such comprehensive
ignorance of the state of the world"
continued Mr. Wilson. Those gentle.
men do not know what the mind of
men is just now. Everybody else does.
Y do not know where they have
been closeted; do not know by what
influences they have been blinded; but
I do know that they have been sepa-
rated from the general currents Of
thought of mankind.
"Heart Of World 10 Awake"
"And I want to utter this solemn
warning, not in the way of threat;
the forces of the world do not threat
en-, they operate. The great tides OF
the world do not give notice that they
are going to rise and run; they rise in
their majesty and overwhelming might,
and those who stand in the way are
overwhelmed. Now the heart of the
world is awake and the heart of tho
world must be satisfied
Americas soldiers, he said, went
overseas feeling they were sacredly
bound to the realization of those ideals
which their President had enunciated
when the United States went into the
war;

General w. D. Hines stated the gov

Embarrass Administration to

Washington, March Con the ad
journment of congress with important
legislation killed by Republican
senate hlibuster, President Wilson
issued statement declaring that "a
group of men in the senate have de-
iberately chosen to embarrass the ad.
ministration of the government, to I'm
peril the financial interests of the rail-
way systems of the country"
The presidents statement follows:
"A group of men in the senate have
deliberately chosen to embarrass the
administration of the government, to
imperil the financial interests of the
railway systems of the country and
make arbitrary use of powers intended
to be employed in the interest Of the
people.
1T is plainly my present duty to at.
tend the peace conference In Paris
1t is also my duty to be in close con
tact with the public business during
a session of the congress. I must take
my choice between these two duties
and confidently hope that the people
of the country will think that am
making the right choice.
Holds Extra Session impossible.
1T is not in the interest Of the right
conduct of public affairs that should
call the congress in special session
while it Is impossible for me to be In
Washington because of q more press
ing duty elsewhere, to cooperate with
the houses.
II take 1t for granted that the mer
who have obstructed and prevented the
passage of necessary legislation have
taken all of this into consideration
and are willing to assume the responsi
bility Of the impaired efficiency Of thu

nances of the country during the time

Pledged to Stay Abroad Until
"It's Over Over There"

New York, March 6.-The transport
George Washington, bearing President
and Mrs., Wilson and other members of
the party, sailed from Hoboken, N.
j., for France. President Wilson is
determined, as he said in his speech
here, not Ito come back til it's over

The chief executives departure was
marked by simplicity which con-
trasted with the noisy demonstration
given him when the George Washing
ton carried Mr.. Wilson from Ameri-
can waters on his first journey to
Paris last December.
Presidential Salute Fired.
AS the exact hour of sailing was
not generally known, there was only
q small crowd of persons assembled at
the army transport pier. To these the
president, hat in hand, and Mrs. Will
son waved farewell greetings as the
George Washington swung out into
the lower Hudson river while the
band on the transport Great Northern,
berthed nearby, played THE Star
Spangled Banner"
Standing on the bridge the presi-
dent and his wife saw the Stars and
Stripes raised on the staff at the stern
and heard the booming of the presi-
Dental salute Of 81 guns. As the
transport turned its nose toward the
Statue of Liberty, an escort of de-
stroyers got under way ahead. The
harbor was nearly deserted because Of
the strike of marine workers.
Executive Up at 8 A. N.
The president and Mrs. Wilson had
ascended to the bridge soon after
q. m. Mr.. Wilson had been up and
about the decks for nearly two hours,
having been the first of the presiden-
tial party to appear. Most Of tho 9th.
ers were asleep when the transport
sailed.
Just as the George Washington was
about to sail 1t was discovered that
someone had neglected to bring aboard
the morning papers, The lines had
been made fast to the gangplank
which was about to be drawn in when
the presidents orderly, 'clutching . 81
bill in his hand, rushed across the
plank onto the pier and hurried
through the hag-decorated archway to
a news stand, where he purchased
the papers and came running back to
the ship. This incident delayed for 9
few minutes the vessels departure.
