The menu and the names of the members of the society Were printed on red paper and bound together into a bulletin ■with the letters “Beta Beta Phi” (Continued on Page Three) The History Club held one of Lhe most interesting meetings of the year last W’ednesday even ing, February the seventeenth, /hen Mrs. Lindsay Patterson spoke of her travels in Europe directly following the war. Mrs. Patterson is well known not only America, but in Europe as well, and is an entertaining and instructive speaker. She and her hostess, Mrs. E. B. Jones of Winston-Salem, and Katherine Miller, Mrs. Pat terson’s niece were guests at dinner in the college dining room, and then went to the liv ing room of Alice Clewell Build ing, where the Club met at seven o’clock. A large map of the Balkans was hung at the front of the room, and Mrs. Patterson de clared it quite a comfort, be cause many people scarcely know where the Balkans are. many people also insist on desig nating them as “it”, when in reality there are several quite distinct states, and to confuse citizen of one country with another country makes him furious as an American would be if someone had expected him to be red or black or brown. The speaker then listed the Balkan states, giving a word or two of identification about each. Roumania was the first, and iS described as the country of romance, of picturesque beauty, of kings and queens and princes, rt and literature. A brief sketch of the formation of Roumania was given: Roumania settled about 121 by Trajan; when the savage hordes of Asiatics were pouring into Roman gateway, emperor sent settlers to the borderland, which the homesick wanderers named Roumania in memory of the mother country. Ever since then, Roumania has neen keeper of the gate for the civilized world. It is a great deal like Italy: the language derived from Latin; its art and its music are similar to those of Italy, though quite original. Bulgaria was described as danger spot, and the trouble part of the Balkan states. The Tartar hordes succeeded in forc ing their way into this section, and the inhabitants today are descendants of these savage tribes. Bulgaria typifies brute strength, force and evil men tality, and is the breeding place for wars. She was prepared ' every respect for the late war, and stood ready with a knife to plunge in the back of the allies. Jugo-Slavia means only south Lenten Service To Begin Wednesday On Wednesday, February 24, the first Lenten Service will be held in Memorial Hall at 11 A. M. The address will be given by Bishop Rondthaler, and there will be special music under the direction of Dean Shirley. Slavia, and is composed of Serbs, Croats and Slavines. It is the heart and soul of the Balkans— the music and art and the home the people beautiiul. lhe people are quite poor, but have clean picturesque uttle farms, and an indestrucii- e love of liberty. Mrs. Patterson said “I think it IS the only really democratic country I have ever s may have four sons, each difterent sort of work, one a statesman and another plough ing the fields, yet each is doing his duty to his country. Theri a beautiful equality about the life of the people.” In summing up her descrip- )n of the Balkans, Mr; Patterson called them the borderland, the battleground of the nations. Since before the dawn of history they have been the scene of fighting and hatred and bloodshed. Asia with her oriental religions and desire for trade came into conflict with Europe, her Christian religion and her desire for trade. Always these small states have been the blood-land of the world. 3 there that Alexander the Great went when he wanted to conquer Asia. Mrs. Patterson said that one of the first questions she asked in European circles was “Why did the German Emperor want to start a war?” Germany already conquering the world by commerce, and why raise such a furor over the death of an arch duke whom everybody hated anyway ? The explanation made by calling to mind old de tails—how Alexander the Great went toward Asia in his desire for empire, and how the same plan was in the mind of the German emperor—world do minion over Asia. The first step toward the goal would be to conquer France and render her helpless, but the attack on France was more with further conquest in view than an act of revenge. The Kaiser felt comparatively (Continued on Page Three) The Pierrette Players Discuss Russian Drama Chekkov’s “The Boor” Read by Doris Walston.

At the expanded chapel service on Wednesday, Feburary the seventeenth, the speaker was Mr. Longfellow, United States P'ield Director of the Red Cross, who was introduced by Mr. Douglas Rights, chairman of the Red Cross activities in Winston-Salem. Ml-. Longfellow gave a very interesting and valuable talk on first aid and life saving. The most important thing in emergency is the ability to whatever material there is hand in helping the injured. It very advisable for everyone to carry an emergency kit because if he has a car he may e, and if he does not have a car, he may be run over, Last year there were sixty thousand deaths from accidents the United States, of which thirty-five thousand were from automobile accident twenty thousand from suffoca tion or asphyxiation. Drowning a form of suffocation and it very important to know how to be of service in rendering aid such cases. When accidentally thrown overboard or finds himself in deep water, the best thing to do, as Mr. Longfellow said, is to pull for shore. If unable to swim one should not become wildly ex cited but merely float on the water until help is secured. Mr. Longfellow gave an example of a sailor who having fallen off convoy, remained floating on the ■ough sea for four hours before le was picked up. Mr. Longfellow told incidents of heroism in life sav ing done by girls. He spoke of seventeen-year-old Idaho girl who saved the lives of two men on a dangerous coast. The proper way to carry a person w'ho is being rescued is by the hair, being careful to swim only (Continued on Page Two) French Club Holds Its Regular Meeting Subject for Discussion is the Great Women Artists and Authors of France.

Sara Bell talked in a very interesting manner of “Mme. de Sevigne” who was a woman of great charm and culture, as is shown through her letters writ ten to her daughter while she was living away from Paris. She personified the epistolary genius of France of the seventeenth century. The life and works of “Mile de Maintenon” were well told by Mile. Caroline Price.
