1. Joy to the world! the Lord II come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And heaven and nature sing.
2. Joy to the worldi the Savior rsigns;
Let men their songs employ.
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding Joy.

Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse Is found.
4. He rules the world with truth ana grace,
And makes the nation prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders OF His love.

Tank Travels by Land or Water

The last word in war vehicles is an

and that makes short work of any
obstacle such as wire cntanglements,
walls or breastworks, says the Feb
ruary Popular Mechanics Magazine in
an illustrated article. In general con-
Struction it is more like an armorcd
truck than the tanks that took part
in the World War. but it does all
that these did. and more.
A demonstration of one Of these
war machines was recently given in
New York City. and was attended by
enthusiastic representatives of the
army and navy, and by several hun

examined the details for any improve
ments which may be made on the
new building. The plans of the fra
ternity were excepted, with a few
minor changes, by the committee of
the faculty and, according to a
statement issued by President Rob-
crts yesterday morning, the rough
sketches will be turned over to an
architect at once for the finished
plans. 1t Is understood that con-
struction will start as soon as wealth
er conditions warrant and the work
will be rushed along so that the fin
ished house may be ready for occu-
pancy in the fall of this year.
The sketches for the proposed house
were drawn by Walter ID. Berry '22,
a member of the Lambda Chi frater-
nifty, and now connected with the
Horace Purinton Construction COM
pany of this city. The sketches call
for an entirely different house in prac-
tically every respect. The reception
room of the ground floor will be
modelled much after the reception
room of the Delta Epsilon and Alpha
Tau Omega houses, both of which
have been entirely renovated in the
past year. This room\ will occupy
all. of the first floor with the cxcep-
ton of the southeast corner which
will be devoted to lavatory with an
entrance from the rear by means of
stairs from the basement and second
floors The basement is to be exca-
waited so that if any occasion comes
up for its use as a recreation room or
some similar room, 1T may be finished
Off with little expense. The halls in
the new building will run north and

building and each of the study floors
are to have six rooms each. On the
fourth floor, will be the fraternity
rooms and three study rooms. The
ram pa Sturc is to be on the fifth floor
as was the old one.
The rooms are to be of the most
approved type known in the dormi-
tory construction and will house two
boys each. The lights arct to be con-
trClled from n wall switch, whereas,
lfCrmorly there was one central sock
ct il the center of the ceiling and it
was necessary to string lamp cords to
the lamps on the desks Each room
will be equipped with flush wall
plugs for the plugging in of desk
lights and the like. The finish
through the building is to be Of the
natural wood color. with the cxccp-
ton of the reception room, which
will be in white enamel.
The fraternity in the construction
of the new house, will not forget those
who were so dear to them and were
lost in the Holocaust. In the large
reception room. the plans call for a
huge fireplace of brick. in which will
be placed bronze memorial tablet
with the names of the four absent
brothers inscribed.

appears, apparently driven along by
a mighty wind. This sail glistens
with rich purple and golden hues.
On it comes. quivering and sparkling
as if covered with gems; then, sud
denly. it disappears as quickly rs it
came!
Many travellers have listened with

one day, this beautiful craft passed
directly under the stern of a vessel,
and it was seen to be a gigantic
swordfish which is now known as
the "sailor-fish." The sail was really

miles an hour and decked like
negro widow for her seventh wedding
the Legion Ministries will be staged
in City Hall at 8 O'Clock this evening.
Never before in the history of local
amateur productions have indications
appeared so bright for a pei Torrance
of such high caliber, the ends arc
each and every one a star, the spe-
cialty numbers are of big time order,
intcrmiXcd are men who have had
experience as professional actors.
Just to correct any false impression,
not a professional has been hired to
take part in the show, those who
have had such experience are giving
their time and experience for the
good Of the organization. The Legion
is giving without question, and in the
opinion of unbiased critics who saw
the dress rehearsal, the very best
minstrel production that has been
seen in Augusta for years if ever.
Keith Ryan who has been direct
ing the affair has made combina
ton to be proud of, the men working
like professionals and with machine
like accuracy, yet without the slight
est trace of mechanical action, their
various numbers having spontaneity
that is the mark of high class theatre
Gals.
The ends have songs that fit their
personalities and have been selected
with a view of what is pleasing to
local theatergoers, the jokes arc hot,
gee NUT they're hot. yet without the
slightest offenSiveness, and are not
of the variety that causes "hurt
feelings"
John A. Boland the feature ballad
singer has some numbers that will
particularly appeal. his act alone be-
ing well worth the price of admis-
sion. With the experience that he
has bad with the big musical shows
