ADELPHIC Wins
ANNUAL LITERARY
SOCIETY CONTEST
Adelphic Literary Society Carries on
Honors at Annual High School
Contest Held Tuesday Evening
at Local School.

The Adelphlc Literary Society OF the
Maysville High School, won the an
nual literary contest Tuesday evening
over the gAthenaeum society but by
only small margin The three judges
Miss louise Best, Senator e. l.. Worth
ington and Mr.. Clarence Mathews
we're almost unanimous in their grad
ing of the varions numbers on the
program and graded all numbers very
closely.
In the oratorical contest all three
judges were Unanimous In giving
Robert Power, the Athenaeum repre-
sentative higher grade than his OPP
ponent, Albert Know. the Adelphic
representative, but in all other events
? the Adelphic representatives won a
higher grade and the contest there
fore went to the Adephic society.
In the paper contest Nan Chenault
and Harriet GlasSock represented the
rival societies. Both young ladies pre-
sented a highly interesting paper in
unique manner and received hearty
applause from the large audience.
In the debate Roger Caplingert and
William Rice contested with Mildred
Proctor and Church Matthews while
In the declamatory contest Betty Bar
bour contested with Joe Wadsworth.
The declamatory was in many respects
the most attractive part Of the pro-
gram, both giving splendid readings
in a most forceful manner.
Members of both societies rooted
hard for their representatives and
there was quite. a clatter and din in
the auditorium, the students display
ed so much society loyalty. They are
to be congratulated however, upon
giving strict attention during the pre-
sentation Of the program.
The decision in favor of Adelphic
society ties the score during the life
of both societies-twelve years. Both
societies have now won six contests
each.

that 1t is possible for fish TO remain

PEACE AS A STATE OF MIND

have not nations learned to sublimate
their fighting power as individuals
have done?
Crile's answer It that, while educa-
tion has carefully curbed the individual
fighting impulse. 1t has carefully cul-
tivated the national fighting impulse.
The common man has been taught
that he must not slit his neighor's
throat and take his money. but he is
taught that the nation may right
fully attack "A neighboring nation
with a gun. sword, poison, and starva-
ton.
There is no real difference in moral
value between the two ~orms of fight
ing. but the international fighting is
usually dignificd with n lot OF fake
moral issues.
WE ARE EDUCATED FOR WAR
The common man responds so quick
iy to call for war because all OF
his education has been directed to
prepare him for response to that call.
lie Is always taught that war Is
glorious. From the first picture he
sees in his school history books, on
through his education. and his adult
reading. he learns of war as a glorious
adventure for brave men. He Is taught
to abhor individual lighting. but to
reverence the mass fighting known as
war.
when common mon all over the
world see war for just what II is.
when the word awakens aversion in
stead OF enthusiasm. then and then
only WIN 1t be doomed. says Grille. He
urges that war be painted at least
fairly-that both sides bc shown As
an example of what he means he
prints some pictures in his book two
on page. The lower picture on one
page Is n typical Illustration from =
school history. Of a fife and drum corps
bravciy marching to battlcs Above It
Grille prints Hcture which he
labels The End Effect of a man
with his whole mouth and nose and
chin blown off by hand grenade.
Again he prints typical patriotic
painting of cavalry charge. and
above It a picture from the World War
OF a field after a charge. strcwn with
dead and writhing men.
II men werc taught from childhood
what war really is. what Its actual
effects arc on tho Individual and on
the race. what It's benefits arc and who
gets them. the whole reaction to war
would be modified. 1t would be twice
as hard for politicians to make war
as 1t is now.
This task in education Is probably
a task for Journalism and literature
rather than for. the schools. And there
are signs that it is being done For
example. two of the most widely read
books OF the fall season are novel
which describes the actual experience
Of some Americans in tho last war,
with every detail of horror and hard
ship put IN. and "A book which tells
poison gas and air bombs in full
action. such books do more for tho
cause of international peace than is
disarmament conferences.

A. Passports may be obtained for

Q. when honey IL used in cooking
Is It necessary to use soda7-T. +.
A. Honey. like molasses contains an
acid, and one-fourth teaspoon OF soda
should be used to eacn cup OF honey.
Dissolve tho soda in little warm
water and add to honey. stirring until
It foams. This soda does not take the
place of leavening. which should be
added in its usual proportion.
q. What was the first church es-
tablishcd in New York City?-V. X.

A. The Dutch Reformed church has
the oldest church organization in New
York City. Next in order of founda-
ton is the Episcopal church.
q. Did the Romans invent their
numerals?-G. A. c.
A. There is no record to prove that
