number, MiieDowell’s transcription
of Rameau’s Harabmidc which is
very stately in style and was played
witli great clearness and the proper
atmosphere of classic dignity. Schu
mann’s 2)(',v Abends, the next num
ber, was outstanding for its .sympa
thetic interpretation and the singing
quality of its tone. The Chopin
Ji’alta in K Flat Major with which
the first group closed, was played
vvitli facile technique and a true ap
preciation for rubato. I.iszt’s Die
I,ordei which was played with dra
matic significance brought the pro
gram to a brilliant climax. Lesch-
ctiiiky’s Arabesque Kn Forme D’-
Etnde and MacDowell’s Rigaudon

and gracefulness which was very
charming. The delightful pro

gram Plresented.
Tlie regular meeting of the Sci
ence Club wa.s held on Friday eve
ning, April 27, in the Science Lec
ture room, with Nona Raper, Rebec
ca Petway and Ruth Helmich as
speakers.
Nona Raper spoke briefly on the
subject, “Tea,” giving the origin of
the beverage, its history and the
extent of it.^i use today. By way of
illustration scmples of tea from
Japan, India, China and England
were shown. It was stated that

pounds of tea annually. The drink
ing of tea is one of the few cere
monials which has come out of the
East that commands universal
teem. The afternoon tea is an

“Poisonous Snakes, Bites and
Remedies,” was the topic discussed
by Rebecca Petway. In introduc
ing the subject the following state
ment was made; “In this country,
until recently, nobody seemed t(
have the least idea of the frequency
of cases of snake bites. Through
tile educational campaign which has
been carried on by the Anti-Vermin
Institute of America, many facts in
regard to the incidence of snake
bites all over the United States hav(
been brought to light and appear t(
show that contrary to the general
opinion, snake poisoning is a much
more frequent cause of death than
generally supposed.”
From a practical standpoint, only
those snakes are considered poison
ous which upon biting are able to
inject tile secretion of their poison
ous glands more or less deeply into
the tissues of their prey. Snakes
were classified and numerous ci
pies of each classification were
en. Slides were thrown upon the
screen, illustrating the lecture

Dr. Hanes Speaks
In Wednesday Chapel
Doctor Fred Hanes who gave a
fascinating talk two years ago on
“Equatorial Africa,” spoke again at
the Expanded Chapel Service on
Wednesday. Doctor Hanes recently
spent some time hunting in Uganda,
the Sudan, and the upper regions
of the Nile. His talk was based
mainly on these places although he
gave some time to the liistoric treas
ures of LuxOr and Thebes. Unlike
the usual Egypti.-.n or African lec
ture wliich is concerned with Cairo
and the better known places. Dr.
Hanes began liis talk with a vivid
description of the headwaters of tlic
Nile lined with the marvelous miles
of papyrus swamps. From tliis,
following the course of the river, he
described Khartoum, the strange
and beautiful white Nile, Luxor
wliich he called the most tlie most
interesting place in the world, the
site of ancient Thebes and the co-

Salemite Crew to

Overcome by their newly acquired
responsibilities and by the import
ance of first impressions, the new
members of the “Salemite” staff are

here at the crucial moment. Hence
they needs must resort to the time

The editor and co-workers lift

that they were to take this trij).
When they posed for the photograph
they had no cause to be elated. But
now they are busily, yea merrily,
planning to remodel the old boat, and
to visit strange interesting foreign
ports whicli no other crew before
them have been bold enough to enter.
They aspire to startle the bored
public with their discoveries, pleas
antly,—and how.^ That is the ques
tion. They are eager to spear huge,
ugly, annoying octopi which infest
the waters near the Ju-ju Islands;
to defend themselves bravely with
flower pin and nail file in close-up
combats with molesting pirates; and
to store the Salem warehouse with
cargoes of flashing rubies, emeralds,
diamonds, smooth rich pearls, jade,
and ony-K—also less brilliant but
equally valuable and lasting goods,
and perchance some lovely foolish
trinket.s—all of whicli might mean
anything or nothing. Therein lies
the beauty of figurative language. It
is safe. You can interpret it as you
will. The author can admit certain
intended implications or can deny
them, wliichever is most convenient.
