Of course it is apparent to all why Sands, the suspected butler employed by the late Hollywood film director, cannot be apprehended.

Each of these draws no small contingent from the southern states, as well as western states. At Dartmouth there has just been organized a Southern Club to culti vate the southern spirit at Hanover and to introduce the Dartmouth spirit In the south. For a century there has been a dis tinctive Dartmouth spirit. Dart mouth is "the small college" In .be half of which Daniel Webster made his touching plea in the celebrated "Dartmouth College Case." Within' the last twenty years no New England college or university has progressed more eteadily than has Dartmouth.

Very shortly after, another legis lator, this time from the national House of Representatives, address ed another body of students and ex pressed the hope that the senator has heen misquoted, "because "the greatest need in America today is that of intelligent, unselfish and pa triotic leadership in political life." Here are two directly opposed points of view. Probably neither of of them will greatly affect the num ber of young men who will turn to politics for a career in the next de cade or so. In a way each speaker was right. There are failures in every field, whether politics, professional life, business or whatever it may be. That fact never keeps the newcomers! from trying out 'his own ability in his chosen line. The nation does need fine, clean, progressive young men and women in Its politics, to be preaching in its pulpits, teaching in its school rooms. cultivating its farms, building its home3 or performing its seemingly mental tasks.

' A pantomime was also given, the actors being Nora Long and Harry Winscott and the vocal accompani ment being given by Miss Thelma Hudson. The auctioning of the various boxes brought on a great deal of rivalry and the gum of $32.50 was realized by the class through the strenuous efforts of Cassius Carey, the auctioneer, who handled the sales like an old veteran and realized for the class a neat sum of money to ap ply on their work.
