TALKS ON DISARMAMENT The Arms Conference was the sub ject of Miss Weber’s edifying talk in chapel last Wednesday. Miss Weber said that nations have tried to prevent war in three ways: (1) By the balance of power, (2) by arbitration, (3) by the association of nations. These methods failed, due to secret treaties, which made nations distrust ful of each other, competitive arm aments, and commercial and colonial rivalry. The Disarmament Conference has a new method: namely, to prevent war before it starts. Miss W^ebef told briefly of the work that the Arms Conference has done, and of the important decisions reached. There were nine (9) nations re presented at the conference. The representatives from the U. S. were Hughes, Root, Underwood, and Lodge, led by Hughes.—M. Blair.

Miss Summerell de creed that each member of the class should make a valentine upon which a Latin inscription was to he written. Names were drawn and in this man ner each member of the class : e- ceived a valentine. As a result, there were many Latin verses, several oi which were translations of that well known English ditty “Roses are red^ violets are blue, sugar is sweet, ana so are yo».” Others ran “The rope is sweet it is true, but none can he so sweet as you.” Then there were the plain, tho’ expressive “Ego amo te besides numerous original expreS' sions. The class learned many new words which could never be discover ed in “The Orations of Marcus lul- lius Cicero.” They would like to abandon “Kickero” entirely if they could enjoy such a lesson every day.

H. S. for Augusta Mil itary Acadamy. It seemed that all the Military folks were after “Willie”, including the captain of the baseball team, who came after him with the determined purpose to take him Hack. But Bruce’s faith held.
