WAY OF CHRIST

The way of Christ for peace was pointed as the more work able and more practical than the present manner of attempting solution of the worlds unrest, yesterday by Rev. Dr. Norman Nash, professor of Christian Social Ethics at the Episcopal Theological school, Cambridge, Mass, speaking at St. Johns church. Dr. Nash related how Christ rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and told the people that they did not know the things that belonged to peace"
 People still are unaware of the philisophy of brotherhood and CO., operation, the speaker claimed, and the so-called practical solu- tions of the worlds troubles have been proved intellectual.

won high praises from safe

This statement was made today by
Mr.. L. r. Lewis, president of the
Delaware Motor Club on the basis
of reports from A.A.A. headquart-

seventy miles of highway between
Detroit and Lansing, Mich. The

'The Digniied (?) Seniors"

Have you noticed the Seniors in
the Class of 80? In the eyes of
the Juniors, they are the most un-
dignifed persons we have ever
seen. Why, even their names are
- "Hamie" Armstrong,
Skinny" Ebert, 'sRunt" Grier,
"Jonesy" Jones, Whitley" Melvin
and ''Tomboy' Lowman.
7 truly believe that they have
never even thought about being
dignifed. Perhaps, with Professor
King to be their Guiding Light, :"
they'll do an about face" and
mend those unsophisticated ways.
The latest bit of Senior idiocy is
the wearing the red and white
skull caps !!

Anerca's Duty

Since the United States has
achieved its place among the ma
tions some of our citizens have al
wavs presented the same argument
at times of foreign crisis. They
contend that it is the duty of our
country to aid smaller countries in
maintaining their rights.
Why? What does our nation
owe any other power? What have
we previously agreed upon in re-
gard to helping European powers
to keep peace" by the strong
arm" method? Those who would
urge the United States into war
point to the Monroe Doctrine as
proof of the fact that it is our duty
to protect smaller countries. Yet,
in this famous paper, mention is
made only of interfering if the
safety of other American countries
is at stake. Certainly we should
step in if they are threatened if
only to prevent our own country
from being invaded thru neighbors.
But why should we sacrifice, as
we previously have, the lives of
our brave young men to the hor-
rors of war? Is it fair to Amer
leans that they should go on short
rations, and suffer the postwar de-
preston so certain and also so
damaging to the majority of our
citizens.
If certain principles were at
stake which we were sure, before
hand, could be preserved, it might
perhaps be worth the loss. But
what has been the result Of the
last war? The war to preserve
democracy" and to lend all wars"
has only resulted in the increase of
autocracy and the continuation of
wars. Attempts are now being
made to draw the United States
into European controversies as an
umpire" Soon, fear, we will be
up dI DdI Win IWO SIrlheS
against us and the bases loaded"
Could wars end with the Armis-
tice, we might, the cause righteous
enough, engage in the conflict; but
war does not as we all know, cease
with the peace treaty, it continues
to affect the national family and its
individual members for a genera
tion. All this a neutral country
should suffer to protect smaller ma
tions thousands of miles away.
While one American child is un-
dernourished or one aged patriarch
treads the streets alone, Americas
duty is first to her citizens here; in
other words, Charity begins at
home"

Many years ago, the world was
covered with vegetation and an
lmal life. Huge dinosaurs roamed
through the woods. Giant ferns
and other plant life grew in the
swamps.
The earth sank in some places
and rose in others. The glacier
came and covered it up. The ferns
and animals died, and were buried
by the changing of the earth's
crust.
The remains of the animals and
