We are informed that the lecture
on "the responsibility and obligations
of the boys in the community" given
by Brother Christian Sunday even
ing was both logical and helpful in
the extreme. We cannot refrain from
mentioning also in this connection
Brother Lipscomb's sermon Sunday
morning and night upon Parents duty
and responsibility in the rearing of
their children" Nothing truer, more
reasonable or timely has ever been
proclaimed in Oxford and every
parent and every young citizen in the
community should have heard these
discourses.
The Epworth League of the Metho-
dist church is giving reception Fri
day evening in the Sunday School
room complimentary to the Methodist
young people coming in to the Uni

for all the churches, Sunday schools
and young peoples socities to use
their influence in enticing the Univer-
sity students in Christian endeavor-
See to it that they waste not the
sweetness of their influence on the
desert air" because they are strang
ers in a strange environment. Great
er possibilities often than we dream
of are hidden away in a young life.

GRIM REMINDERS.

The figures recently promulgated indicate that
in 10 months there were $4,000 men, Americans
who went to France in the fighting buslness-who
went to shoot and were prepared in the chances
OF war to be shOt-who lost their lives In the
same 10 months $1,000 persons, many of them
women and children, practically all of them limo
cent of any purpose to kill and certainly innocent
OF impending imminence Of being killed were
slaughtered by automobiles in the United States
The machine OF peace killed twice as many in the
same time as the machines of wartime Hfe-de-
struction. In one case the business was done with
death in sight; in the other there was the pre-
sumed condition Of safety and protection The ma
chine Of pleasure, of commerce or transportation
slew more than twice as many victims as the god
OF war.
This is appalling record. Yet the automo-
bile Is not to be condemned. The heart of the
menace IS the ignorant criminally careless drv-
err of the potential juggernaut. The remedying of
the condition, the changing of the startling figures
which make the casualty list horrifying is that
plan which will make, nearly as possible all
drivers Of machines careful
In Seattle Washington at a sharp curve on a
prominent thoroughfare nailed to tree Is a great
sign in black and white with the black predom-
mating On this is the following inscription, In let
tiers so large that he who runs any sort of car in
the vicinity may read and go slowly and cautiously:
"TwelVe-year-old boy killed by automobile here

At many another place in and around Seattle
such signs are erected-warnngs and grim re-
minders. They full Of horror, those cold rec
ords. They are steadily increasing in number but
not so rapidly as when the first few set up

OVERRIDING CONSERVATION.

One Of the most popular movements in this
country was that for the conservation Of re-
sources Back in President Roosevelts term it
was recognized that the American people had
scattered their boundless wealth with spendthrif
hands They had slaughtered their forests with
wasteful cutting given away valuable lands for a
song, ETC.
1t was fine and noble movement to stop
this prodigaIity Yet it has often seemed if the
people had become so afraid that some would
make a dollar, that they had tied up many re-
sources so no one could touch them.
Take the case Of Alaska. Here is a rich re-
serve of natural resources Alaskas coal its timber
its paper pulp ought to be rolling down In
great supplies providing basic needs for moderate
costs

THE GERMAN-RUssO ALLIANCE.

News that Germany and Russia have formed an
alliance which virtually makes the two countries
one industrally and commercially will
prise any who has made speculative calcu-
latiOns with ordinary probabilities as the starting
point. If the world is disposed to find fault with
the arrangement and to criticise roughly the
world should not forget that explanation which
does duty in many places under many diff
ferent circumsLances-"human nature"
Self-defense has been called the first law of
nature" 1t is instructive however high the in
teligenCe Of the individual the nation. Germany
feels the necessity for cooperation In industry
and commerce. Russia is in the same state of mind
After looking over the ground, Germany finds her
only opportunity in Russia, and Russia finds her
only field for cooperation in Germany. To make
this alliance the more powerful to the two
principals and industrial and commercial men,
ace to the rest Of the world, Germanys producing
organization, admittedly complete, is united with
Russia's supply of material, the most extern
sve in the world That is combination which
may compel organization by all the rest of
the industrial world in self-defense.
The other great industrial and commercial ma
lions will find little comfort in this Russian Ger
man alliance because it could have been prevented
with little effort, Germany Russia could have
been made the partner in a trade or industrial
agreement by any other nation Neither could
find the opening. They were driven together by the
short-sghtedness of nations which could have
become profitable partners of either. Now the
present industrial leaders will have as competitors
industrial organization of excellent character
and raw materials Of ineXhaustible proportions. If
this is not combination that win create new
industrial commercial leader, bring fresh cause
for more international controversies, to wars
the prospect has been enormously read.

Just then we saw her come IN.
She was beautifully gOwned, even
if a little too SLOWLY for so
large a woman. We both spoke
Of her costume, and she seemed
pleased, and replied:

by my objection to entertaining

vANDERLIP's BIG CONCESSION.

Among the numerous Americans who place
high value upon self-publicy perhaps Washington
D. Vanderlip should receive mention. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr. Vanderlip hit the front page Of
numerous editions the latter part Of last year by
announcing that he had taken little run over to
Russia and got concessions from the soviet gov
eminent to exploit chunk Of Siberia of several
million acres full of minerals and oil.
Later It became known that the Lenine-Trotzky
regime had about the same title to these Siberian
riches that it might claim to the good will of the
world. But the Moscow government had sufficient

PICTURESQUE FEUDAL
CEREMONIES OF 600
YEARS AGO REVIVED
(By The Associated Press.)

Launceston. Cornwall, Eng,
June 26.-Picturesque feudal GER
emonies Of 600 years ago were
revived here when the Prince of
Wales. who is also Duke of
Cornwall, paid visit to the old
time capital of his duchy. Laun-
cestOn has Deen a royal borough
since about 1856.
The ceremonies included the
presentation of rent and "offer-
ings of fealty" In kind, accord
ing to ancient custom. The mayor
presented to the prince 100 shiiI-
ings and one pound of pepper on
a silver dish.
To Sir Hugh Wordsworth st.
Aubyn fell the duty to offer
brace Of greyhounds According
to ancient usage, they should be
pure white, but the nearest Oh
tainable approach was a we'll
matched piebald couple.
Another duCal tenant rendered
a pair of gilt spurs, and others
presented a pound Of cumin,
salmon spear, a faggot of wood,
a pair Of white gloves and a
rose.
Strangest of all these curious
terms of tenure is one requiring
the representa-: ives of the manor
of SwannaCot and ST Mary Week
to present themselves at the du-
cal court clad in nantes of goat
skins, The present-day incumbent,
Bethuel Hutchings, stoicaIly en-
dured this attire over his ordin-
airy clothes on a broling hot day.
His appearance suggested a blend
of a modern country tourist and
Robinson Crusoe.
The prince, much amused at
the variety of gifts, solemnly
confirmed all the loyal tenants
in their holdings"
