The remaining shrubbery will be planted in the corner of the jcumpus where King's Highwuy crosses Centenary boulevard. This new addition will add great value to the campus, because both approaches of the buildings will be adorned with shrubbery, and the shrub plans will blend with the stately pines, for which the campus is known.

Thursday evening Dean Smith spoke to the members of the college at their regular weekly meeting. Dr. Smith's talk was very impressive and was appreciated by all who heard it. The theme of the speech was a definition of life. The lecture was one of comparison, in which Dr.

Smith compared the power of a boy's life to that of water and its powor. The speaker showed how powerful is one's life, end how a person may generate this power, and some day when he sets out to make his own living he may turn this power upon one object end accomplish success. Then he gave an illustration of the many ways the power in one's life may be wasted and do harm if it is not stored up to turn to good use when the proper time comes. "The same is true of water," Dr. Smith added.

"When water is held in check by large dams and river banks there is stored up in it untold power, but let this power bo loosened by the dam and the water floods cities and farms and the power that was so useful has been transformed into a menace." Tha next point Dean Smith brought out was "life is a vapor, and nothing is more helpless than vapor, but condense this vapor and you have steam, one of the most powerful expressions of foNe known to men." Next Dr. Smith added, "The college life of a boy Is similar to water going to the boiler. The water comes from the mountain streams down to the great boilers, there it goes to the fire, is converted into steam, and made Into a powerful force to operate engines of the railroads, factories and all industrial plunts where steam is used. The boy leaves home and enters college, where he specializes in some broncb of study. "He is generating the power of his life, which later on becomes a life power, force and success.

That is if he applies his time in a useful way." The library, which was located on the main floor of the boys dormitory, has been moved to a larger place in tha new building and the old library room has been turned over to the to be used as a recreation and social room. This room will be called the "Boys Association Room," and all of the different college organizations will hold their meetings here. This room is under the supervision of the and their meetings will be held every Thursday evening. Mrs. Griffith, dietician of the college, will be in charge of the room.

Work has begun in arranging tho room for a recreation center. The la furnishing the hall and the college is helping with the expense. The furnishings include a piano, vic-trola, reading and writing tables, checker and chess tables, two lounges, two Morris chairs and several large oak chairs. Large window curtains selected with taste and care will be placed over the windows, and many beautiful pictures will adorn the walls. The room is large enough for small entertainments, and it ia planned for the literary societies, the and other organizations to give their entertainments here instead of in the chapel.

The room will be open to ail members of the faculty, to the student body, both boys and girls, GABNEU for th, other pupils Several faults were found by the seniors ill the program mapped out for the commencement week and it was left up to the entertainment committee for its opproval and to make tha necessary changes. It is expected that the program for this week will be announced within the next few weeks. Invitation cards for this year ere similar to those nsod by the- graduating class for the last two years and have been adopted as a standard. Order for these cards, It was stated by Hill Peane, president of the class, must be turned in to the committee appointed for this purpose not Inter than Tuesduy. IMerian Soelety held their regular meeting at the home of Nell Berry, 412 Wasbingto nstreet, Tuesday afternoon.

An old-time spelling match was arranged and was the feature of the meeting. Sides were chosen and the losing side entertained the winners in some fashion. Kefresh-ments were served. The next meeting will be held at the home of Alice Larkin. 1 Centenary Notes By W.

J. KELLY Wednesday evening the Union Literary Society gave a very pleasant entertainment for the student body. Many people from the outside bad been invited and every available scat in the chapel hall was taken. Before the program began tho members of the society met for a brief business session and the secretary read the minutes of the last meeting and plans were discussed for the next meeting. The entire program was a discussion of tho life and works of America's great author and poet, Kdgar Alien I'oe.

Four numbers of the program were chosen from his works. One member discussed his life, another his poetry, another interpreted "The Euven" and another gave a reading on "The Masque of the Red Death." The first number on the program was a piano solo. After the conclusion of the program a social meeting was in progress a bit of informal entertainment wns added by songs from Professor Morehead, Mr. Anderson and Mr. De-Vine.

Punch and sandwiches were served as refreshments. Friday morning Miss Kinney and Mr. Peterson, of the Billy Sunday party, were visitors to the college. Miss Kinney gave a lecture to the academy girls and to tha college girls, while Mr. Peterson addressed the boys of the college and the academy.

Plans are under way for beautifying Centenary campus. Arthur Cling-man, of Keithville, donated to the college many beautiful shrubbery plunts and Dr. Sexton and Professor Reynolds, with 11 boys, went out to Mr. Clingman's place Saturday morning and brought back 11 juniper plants, nine Chinese cedars, three lilac bushes and two cedar trees. The plans under way call for two beds in front of the new building, in which several Juniper shrubs will he planted and two of tha lilac bushes will be set out in front of them.

Friday, up to tho timo that Prime Minister MacDonald succeeded in bringing the employers and the work- ers together, was tho most anxious day in the recent experience of Lon don. It recalled memories of tho critlcnl days of the war when the, 'Issue hutiir in the balance. There was obundant reason for! anxiety.

London had had the most onriessing week in living memory. All tram and bus services In the; metropolis were Rusnended and the to an absolute standstill. Other pressure on the public was threat- ened, including putting out the lights by the electricians. This was the most desperate at- tack that was ever made on the ex- oi miiJK Iwhnla (iiimmflw tha mptriiTintin An reduced seven million people to The position was critical for Mr. MacDonald and tho labor government.

It was supposed that with labor in power that liability to strike would be diminished. Instead, there have been a succession of smashing biows at the public existence. If the underground systems ha stopped, Mr. MacDonald would have been confronted with the issue of whether he was fighting for existence of the publio or for tho triumph of the unions. If he had decided he wns fighting for the public he would have been crushed by his own followers.

If he decided he fighting for the unions he would have been smashed by tha public. If the strike had been extended it is a grave question whether Mr. MacDonald would have been able to command sufficient support from his colleagues to fight the strikers. Mr. MacDonald was sharply criticized on the grounds that he had made no move to provide public facilities to meet the withdrawal of services but to have done so before exhausting all efforts to bring tho two sdies together would have been construed by the strikers as taking sides against them.

(Cuvrrlklit, ivi.) Tarli, March JO. With the election only its eeks off, the cabinet crlilt thit week wai unexpected. Taxation bills which seemed frauKht with danger for tha government, hud been passed, though with very smull majorities It la trua. Yet tha accident happened. fha Poincare ministry hud been In power ince January, The flrat year, with the cunferem-ei at Genoa, The Hague, London, and Par-la, It did not arouse much enthusl-tim, hut Jt had the country tolidly behind it when it decided to occupy tha Ruhr In January, 1923.

Premier Toincare often has laid nd rightly, that any cabinet would have done the earne thing in the am circumstances, nevertheless the Ruhr occupution is tha reason for Polncare's popularity today, for during; his seven years as prusident he was never popular. The trouble with the Ruhr policy was not the principle, but its application. The writer atroncly urifed tha Ruhr occupation In ltf-1 when Drland was premier and Senator Potncara was upholding him in refusing to take that step. Vhe occupation has beon weakly conducted, owing; to insufficient preparation, "Invisible" occupation, an appeal to Germany's good will, and a total lack ef authority and decision. Brought Reelatanra.

These blunders brought on passive resistance and prevented France from getting any cash payments In 1923, while aha received diminished coal deliveries, forcing her to buy twelve million extra tone from England. But tha publio was ill-informed of this side of the occupation and only ew the, fact of occupation itself as Of energetic policy which Franca had heretofore lacked. And to the government's gross financial blundering had been tolerated and the pound's steady rise in two year from 60 to 06 francs caused no alarm. Administration reforms and economies were totally neglected. New taxes were not proposed by the government and even were oDDoaed by it when they were proposd by members of the house of deputies.

Imagine then the country's stupefaction when, after this long negligence, the government insisted on Jamming through hastily improvised fiscal measures after the Jan-nary exchange crisis when the pound Jumped five points higher. Despite the manifest objection to these bills and their Injustice to civil servants, pensioners, old a tea insurance beneficiaries, ex-soldlers, travelers, taxpayers and consumers, they were voted by the chamber and tha eenate. Again the Knhr occupation bad eaved the cabinet. Opponents Grow. But during the two months' debate the ministerial forces decreased notably.

Premier Poincare had had four-fifths of the chamber with him en foreign questions for two years, but on the financial the total number of epponenta and abstentionlsts was constantly greater than that of fcia iupporters. In the chamber ha tot barely half ef tha deputiee and in tha senate only 45 and even 85 per cent. Plainly tha government was losing strength daily and last Wednesday the number of chamber supporters fell from 191 to 264. Nevertheless, President Millerand, th international neo-o- tlations now In progress, decided to sk Premier Poincare to form a new government. The question on which the rote of confidence, resulting in the fall of the ministry came, namely pensions to retired civil servants, had been discussed at length in 1923.

It was proposed to increase these pensions in accordance with the increased cost of living and place old pensioners on the same basis aa future pensioners. This proposal seemed sure to pass when the exchange panic earns January 14 and the government withdrew the bill, announcing that it was Impossible to grant the increases. Three days later, tho government grudgingly consented to introduce a new bill carrying smaller increases. This was the bill which was Intro-duced March 26 and wao rejected by the chamber of depntlea March 29. As tho government was In the difficult position of eombatting what it had Itself proposed a few months earlier, it had to males the question ona of confidence and the defeat meant resignation of tho cabinet.

This club is known as thn Kadio Society and was formed with tho object to promote interest und knowledge of radio among the members. Plans are be-int? made to have lectures on this subject with experiments.

It ia also planned to teuch the members tho code to enable them to tuke the government radio examination for amateur operators. The club wns planned several weeks ago and the first meeting was called Tuesday, March 18, in the physics laboratory in the main building. Alton 1'arker was elected temporary president, and a committee wns appointed to draw up a constitution and by-laws for the organization. At the second meeting, last Tuesday, the committee presented the constitution, which was accepted by the club. Meetings of this new organization will be held every Tuesday and pupils who aro interested in this work and club are asked to attend tho next meeting.

More than 300, it is estimated, attended the junior meeting call the last of the fifth period Wednesday afternoon. Prof. Grover C. Koffman opened the meeting with an address to the Juniors. In this talk he stated that the previous meetings of the Junior class had been attended by an average of not more than o5 at each of the meetings and that he could not understand this as there are 336 members of the junior class in the student body.

He also stated that the Gunher and staff would be selected from the Junior class of this year at the next school session and that the members of the junior class during the present term would make up the senior cloaa this fall. The main reason for railing this meeting was to present to the class tha plana which had been arranged by the entertainment committee last week on the junior-senior entertainment. The entertainment planned for the senior was a barn party, which will be given at the Fair Grounde Colisum on the night of May 2. It was stated by the entertainment committee that this party would probably cost the junior class about $160, and that each member of the class would be expected to donate his or her part. It estimated that each member would give 60 cents and that this amount given by each one would cover the expenses of the entertainment.

It was expected that more than SOO pupile will be present at this party. Several committees were appointed at this meeting to plan the entertainment. They comprise decoration, refreshment and entertainment committees. It was announced that the money for this entertainment should be in the hands of the treasurer, Knoxie Williams, two weeks before the date of the On receipt of the money a ticket will be given each donor, which will admit the holder to the party. The first senior meeting in several week, was called Thursday afternoon to discuss plana for senior week and the invitation cards.

It also was suggested that the senior class give a class play to defray the expenses for the senior week. ProfeRsor Koffman made a short talk to the class, stating that it was up to the seniors to set an example for the school and the students to the other clashes and that a Tag Doy would be held Tuesday at the school for the benefit of the baseball team and that season tickets for eleven home games printed in the form of a tag, would be put on sale.
