tie patience" There was danger OF q
stampede, he said, and he and the rest
of the faculty were in measure re-
sponsible to their fathers and mothers
for them.
"You must keep your heads" he
said. God knows, / do not seek to
judge your duty in this gravest mo-
ment Of your lives, nor assume to tell
you what you must or must not do.
But by hurrying into service now, with
out careful thought or consideration,
you may impair the extent of your
possible usefulness to the very cause
you are so anxious to serve. Hundreds
of you are taking technical courses
which should be completed-at least
structors from the United States army
are already on the way here, and mill
tary training will be begun at once
for all who are physically eligible and
of acceptable age. A special course
will be given in preparation for flying
and those who wish to become aviators
may enroll themselves for the course
at once.
II speak to you in q crisis of the
university's life, as we'll as that of the
nation, and the warning utter has
been made necessary by what took
place yesterday and today. Yesterday
morning, a student in the junior class
enlisted as a private in the United
States regular army. Far be 1t from
me to deplore his course in so doing /;
he spoke to me about it, and in such a
way that felt had no right to dis
suade him. l told him that it would
be preferable for college men to wait
until they could go as officers, and,
aside from the fact Of a greater pres
tige, 1 urged that men of education
could perhaps be more useful in that
capacity. He replied that if he were
useful enough as q private commits
sion might in time come his way, and,
as say, did not feel at liberty to at
tempt discussion. He left to Join a
regiment TO which he had been as
signed, and many of you were at the
station to bid him farewell.
But enthusiasm may be too con-
tagiOuS; even great and inspiring
motive may work for harm, and the
university must not become desert.
In the twenty-four hours since that
young man went to join the army last
night, one hundred and eleven Of our
young men students have left our
walls; eighty-four of them went off to-
gether at three o'clock to catch an
east-bound train at the junction and
enlist for the navy at Newport. We
are, say. in danger of stampede"
He spoke on, but Dora was not lis
tening; She had become obsessed by
an idea which seemed to be carrying
her to the border of tragedy. When
the crowd poured forth from the build
ing she went with it mechanically,
and paused in the dark outside. She
spoke to girl whom she did not
know.
81 beg your pardon"
"Yes?"
II wanted to ask: Do you know
who was the student Doctor Crows
spoke of? I mean the one that was
the first to enlist, and that they were
cheering last night when he went away
to be private in the United States
army. Did you happen to hear his
name"
Eyes, he was junior"
"WhO was it?"

Charges of larceny commonly pre-
ferred against turkeys that range in
grain fields may be definitely with
drawn following significant evidence
that the homely birds choose one fat
cricket to whole field of grain during
the season that they fit themselves for
the Thanksgiving sacrifice. A count
made last fall of the contents of q
typical TOMS crop showed 240 grass
hoppers, 90 black crickets and nine
kernels of grain. Turkeydom rests its
case on many similar evidences In

the earliest use of liquid which can be
described as ink is found in the rem

$500 B. G. Chinese or Indian ink is
known to have been in existence about
this time. These inks were black and
their base was carbon. Probably gum,
