ject upon which Mr. Henry Chung, '17,
Addressed the Forum at 5 o'clock yes
tbrday In the Y. M. C. A. room. Mr.
Chung, who is an authority on oriental
questions, took the stand that Japan
.should not be allowed to gain a foot
hold In Shantung because she would

that country that she has had in
Korea.
Mr. Chung told of the conditions in
Korea, his native country, and showed
how the Japanese had drained the

Chung circulated a petition asking
Congress to assure Korea ot America's
moral support in her hour of need.
About thirty men attended the meeting.

The First Sign of Spring or
Why Hats Make the Woman
What is the first signal that spring
will come? Not the earliest dande

hat with many colored trimmings. She
Is swiiihed In lur from her chin to her
knees, but hoi head and her heels arc

and siiin;;ti r.e, let us believe, is in
lior heart r!so.
But the writer, who sat third behind
this lady in history class fcr a semes

ory her early fall hat, her fall hat, her
ntr.ter hat and her mid winter hat,
liusils her with a stare which takes ac

How muted could sue be recogni-cd'
She is a liferent person. Frou unfit"

at the fellow who sits next but one

inclination to strut, to issue commands,
to lock your arms behind you. How

Here is a case where a quiet visit
to the cemetery almost led to the Jail.
"Oh, death where Is thy sting," was
the expression of three frightened
fraternity freshmen Tuesday night as
they went marching from the darkness
of Calvary Cemetery to the sexton's
office under the care of two kindly of
ficers, who disposed of them to the
sexton.
"iVobntion is the cause of this pre
dicament," said the three boys as the
nniice grabbed them up from their
prowl ings about the cemetery.
The police said the boys were us
ing fushlights and p aring around the
tombstones when delected. The boys
sccied to be searching the cemetery
grounds for some trace of a lost friend.
But it was not a lost friend that the
marauders sought, it "waa an elusive
note that the upperclassmen had sent
them in search of.
The characters of this little episode
did not quite reach the Jail. The boys
were turned over to the sexton who
gave hem a few Instructions that
hereafter all visits to the cemetery
must be in the daytime, and with some
lawiul purpose in mind.
