Colby Alumni Smoker, Portland

a notice appearing in this weeks
issue of the Colby Echo reads as fol-
lows:
"There is to be an informal smoker
of the Colby Alumni of Portland and
the vicinity on November IS, at six
Z. NJ, at the Falmouth Hotel In Port
land. All the Colby Alumni are in
vited, and should any members of the
faculty be in the vicinity of Portland,
they are especially urged to attend.
This invitation also applies to I'M
dergraduates. Both Coach Snow and
Professor Edwards have been nj
vited to speak on athletics, and there
will be other interesting features"
REX w. DODGE
An invitation such as this looks
good to any of the members Of the
faculty and undergraduate whose
one ambition is to meet the "Old
Grads" and have the graduates tell
them of the days of the past. At
the present time, there are no less
than twenty men who come from the
vicinity of the Gate City and it may
be possible that some of these will
plan to attend the smoker should
they be at home during this time.
In statement issued by Edward T.
Moynahan. president of the sopho-
more class at Colby college shortly
after the freshman banquet at Clin-
ton said. II am glad to see that we
have a united freshman class, that
is willing to fight for it's principals
Whatever the result Of the fighting.
l hope that it may promote a real
spirit of friendliness in the college,
May spirit of universal brotherhood
prevail"
The following statement was made
by Charles o. Hubbard. president Of
the freshman class who replied, LAS
to who won the war. we leave that
decision with the rest of the student
body. However, the fighting is over,
so let everyone enjoy the party, and
let joy be unconfined."

The Right Way to Breathe

The fundamental Of health--also Of
beauty is proper breathing. Most
people don't bring the remote cells Of
the lungs into use. Reducing the
respirations to ten per minute for
five consecutive minutes three times
n day will insure full breathing.
For instance. as you are walking.
instead of breathing as you ordin-
arily do, make ten complete respira-
tions per minute (ten inhalations and
ten eXhalations). In other words.
you breathe in for three seconds and
out for three seconds, making COM
plete respiration every six seconds.
at which rate your respiration will
be at the rate Of ten per minute. To
the masses Of the people, containing
simplify. make fifty complete respir-
atoms last you for five minutes.
At the end of five minutes you will
find that you will be breathing
deeply and filling your lungs to
capacity. This is simply an exercise.
and three or four times a day will be
found sufficient.-From the Define

Lives Lost Over Greek LANGUAGE

There has existed in Greece for
some years a linguistic condition Of
affairs around which centres a con-
troversy at once comic or tragic; for
there are in Greece two languages. or
rather, the one language in two
forms-one written by the news
papers, spoken by the educated
classes and used in parliamentary
debates and in public documents. in
Guiding the Scriptures, the circula
ton of which is regulated by law;
and the other a vernacular used by
the people, containing many words
OF foreign origin, especially Turkish
and Italian, arising from those per-
DDS of foreign occupation. with
much simplified grammar and rarely
reduced to writing, except for private
communications.

That Revealing Profile

We have always thought that the
best way to tell a persons charac-
ter was by examining them full
faced. so it was a surprise to hear a
noted physiognomist say recently,
that when he wants to be sure Of
getting the best results he examines
the profile. The full face is what we,
present to people when looking at
them and expecting their criticism:
eyes are alert, mouth arranged in a
becoming line and facial expression"
at it's best
The profile, however, is the aspect
of the face that the rest of the world
most sees and it generally sees it In
off moments when we are uncon-
scious Of any critical glances. A
person whose full face may be bright
and alluring may have a profile
which in repose is dull and listless,
mouth dropping and facial muscles
relaxed. The muscles of a woman's
face are softer than those Of a mans
and so they are particularly sus-
ceptible to unsightly sagging and
unbecoming changes from every
mood.-From the Designer

On Operators Terms

According to rumor which was veri-
fled by F. H. Ramsdell. head mechanic
at the Maine Central repair shops. the
striking shopmen are to return to
work in the morning in body. to take
whatever they can get. Mr.. Ramsdell
said that they would take very few
men as they had nearly the fun quota
at work now and what men were
taken would come back under the COM
panys terms. This ends the strike
which has been in effect ever since
early last summer and has caused not
a little trouble. A few weeks ago a
large number of the strikers voluntari-
ly returned to work but the rest hung
tight.
At a late hour last night Fred Mer-
