This school upon a site, known to
many old residents of Washington
as the former property of the Fair
mount School in its Kalorama Sec
ton, was. admitted to membership
in the American Association of
Schools of Social Work in 1923. To-
day it is an affiliated school of
Catholic University and has the
some functions as department of
the university. Within the last
five years its faculty and program
have been doubled. After a COM
pletion of the schools two-year
course. students are eligible for a
masters degree from Catholic Uni

Glasses are held four days a
week, with demonstration lessons

In its demonstration work, the
school co-operates with the Amer

Sanderson studied Vaslav's face

by plane and parachute, ostensibly
to assist me, but actually to spy on

drove him into London. He was

6. u. Debaters End
Undefeated Season
By Beating Harvard
Hoyo Poll Shows go Pct.
Of Students Think U. S.
Will Enter War

Georgetown University's Philo-
demic Society ended its intercollegi-
ate debating season undefeated last
week by gaining a unanimous de-
cision over Harvard University's
visiting varsity team.
William v. Finn of Ohio and
George A. Christy of the District
upheld the record of the George
town debaters in opposing the ques-
ton, Resolved, that the nations Of
the Western Hemisphere should
form a permanent union" Harvard
was represented by William Murphy
of Illinois and Payson Wolff of Ohio.
William j. Hughes, jr., of the Philo-
bate, held in CASTOR Hall Thursday
night before alumni of both uni
verSitieS.
The Philodemic Society, perhaps,
has the most remarkable debate
record of any collegiate club in the
country. In the last 18 years it has
suffered only two defeats. This sea-
son the Rev. John j. Toohey, S. j.,
moderator, put several teams into
the field that won decisions over
such traditional foes as Yale, Prince
ton, the University of Pennsylvania,
Rutgers and Washington and Jeffer-
son College.
Judges of the debate with Harvard
were Chief Justice D. Lawrence
Groner of the United States Court
of Appeals; Judge Charles S. Hat

Battalion in Parade.
Commanded by Cadet Maj Will
liam E. Esobry, the Georgetown
University Infantry Battalion and
its military band led the I'd Division
in the Army Day parade yesterday,
sharing in the plaudits that greeted
the appearance of local r. o. T. c.
units and the Washington high
school cadets.
The value of the early outdoor
training introduced at Georgetown
this season in connection with the
defense program was demonstrated
in the smart precision of the four
cadet companies. Maj ESobry and
other company officers had been Sc
lected as a result of recent compe-
titions and now that the Army Day
parade is over, the cadet battalion
will undergo special drills for its own
spring military day events.
The new company commanders
are as follows: Company A, Capt.
A. J. Beall; Company B, Capt. J. B.
Boothby; Company c, Capt. Don
Reynolds and Company D, Capt
James S. Anderson.
Enrolment in the Georgetown
r. o. T. c. is on a voluntary basis
and approximately three-fourths OF
the college student body are men,
bers of the unit this year. This ac-
counts, perhaps, for the fact that in
a poll on compulsory military train
ing conducted last week by the
students news weekly IS per cent

Then suddenly his expression
changed. His hands rose slowly in
the air, the pistol clattered to the
floor.
"Just keep them up there, matey!'
said a new voice, and over Vaslav's
shoulder there appeared the broad,
beefy countenance of London

The constable whipped out an

Sir John turned to the constable.

He waited until the members Of
the ballet and stagehands had been
herded to the other side of the set,
then addressed Vaslav.

now another question: Who stabbed

really must apologize. But you see

thought it was something like that.
Now question three: Who murdered

her body to be delivered at my

That was Agent Mueller" said
Vaslav. Though it is possible

becoming troublesome. Leaving the
body at your door was my own
idea. I wanted to discourage your
niece from practicing espionage.
She seemed to have an unfortunate
faculty of blocking my plans, and
as I was in love with her, there
was nothing much I could do
about it."
Many women have been in love
with you, have they not, VaslavP"
asked Sanderson coldly. Mara, for
instance?"
II have used women" Vaslav re-
piled. But I was never in love
myself before. I doubt that should
ever use one again"

my niece"
"Ajax?" for a moment vaslav
looked bewildered. "Ah-I see!
Your code name for me no doubt
since you did not know my
identity. And now, colonel, may I
ask you a question?
How did you detect me2 I mean,
in advance of tonight's fiasco?"
Through this stupid ballet busi-
ness, of course" Sir John replied.
Starring my niece or rather,
my ward, was, in a way, a brilliant
conception. 1t turned my suspicious
away from you completely, as you
rightly calculated it would. But you
apparently did not know that she
was thoroughly familiar with chess,
and when she left some notes on
this dance in her room, it was
easy to see that they were a dis
guised code. After that it was mere
ly case of putting your house un-
der surveillance"
Another mistake" said Vaslav,

else?"
