some of World War H's most
startling developments are yet to
come, according to Dr. Gerald

Science Continues.
Dr. Wendt, who himself has
served as a captain in the chemical
warfare service of the U. S. army
during World War I, says that
while most of the results of the
work of our co-operating scien

American public may be assured
that their inventive and scientific
genius is producing and produc
ing more effectively for the war
effort

pus have been holding box socials
over the week-end. This project
has been under the direction of
Ronnie Metz, and though the com
plete results can not be given yet
as some of the affairs are being
held this evening, it has been a
marked success. In one group
more than $100 was made from
the sale of boxes.
The goal of this year's WSSF
drive is $1,000, the slogan being
a dollar from every person. If the
drive continues to be as success
ful as it began the goal will be
well surpassed.
All fraternity and sorority

usual Monday night meetings by
request of Panhellenic and the
