THE SALEMITE THREE TWO DEBATES AT SIGMA OMICRON ALPHA MEETING (Continued From Page One) the building cif more ships is merely ivalry for naval power and war a result of such rivalry. They stated that the world would regard as a naval race between England and America and that such was not desirable. DE. HOLMES SPEAKS IN EXPANDED CHAPEL HOUR the (Continued from Page One) catacombe.

France occupying this im portant industrial section of Ger many took from it all that she could and although the French troops have finally evacuated, the grave interna- t:onal predicament still remains. Will France allow Germany to re cover her independence, their secur ity, and their control over their na tional life, or will she refuse to per mit the emancipation of Germany until she herself is humbled. She evacuated the Ruhr but she did not do so until the financial and eco nomic headquarters of Germany had been occupied by the authorized i'rench agents, an essential policy in keeping Germany in subjection. The second danger spot is the condition between England and America. They are suspicious and envious of each other. Recently, in the midst of a difficult controversy with the United States, England has by a concession in another field purch ased the support of France for its own contention. It has aggravated this unwisdom by the secrecy of procedure. The third danger spot is Japan’s attitude toward America. Japan resents Secretary Kellogg’s announcement that the U. S. recog nizes Manchuria as Chinese terri tory and this, together with the barring of Japanese from this coun try has only raised bitter feeling to wards us. There is also dangei the dictatorship of Mussolini, thinks in terms of war. In an dress to the Italian people he made the statement “It is a fundamental duty to perfect our armed forces— then between 1935 and 1945, when, I believe, there will be a crucial point in European history, finally to make our voices heard and see our rights recognized.” Such an attitude certainly does not mean peace. Miss Ragan’s reply on the nega tive was read by Mary Ayres Payne. She stated that formerly wars had been caused mainly on account of religious beliefs. Protestants and Catholics continuually disagreeing. At the present time this is highly improbable for the church is at peac and each denomination is satisfied. This placidity of religion must needs affect the attitude of the peo ple thereby instilling in them a feel ing of love of law an dorder. This kind feeling is expressed in the hu mane treatment of Germany by the allies. They helped establish her government and imposed a reasona ble penalty on the fallen state. Our dealings with South America also proves peaceful. President Hoover on his return from that country stat ed that all through his journey he was aware of a sincere feeling of friendliness toward the United States. The religion of the world, the humane attitude of the countries toward Germany and the friendly spirit between North and South America all show a tendency toward world peace. It was decided by vote of the club that the affirmative side was victorious.

The Alumni Bul letin stands behind President Low ell. As far as can be determined it would seem that the older alumni and those students who are articu late are against it.

Many of the larger stations employing only college men in the capacity of announcer or direc tor—men who have had microphone experience. There are .now sixty-three college radio stations in the United States. This is particularly remarkable, ; it must be remembered that B as a college institution is i paratively new. The colleges broad cast lectures, educational talks, talent recruited from the student body, etc. Some of the schools have large and beautiful studios with staff of artists equal to any com mercial station. Collegiate News Flashes are leased to the college radio stations Saturday of each week, and 3 find the c to be used as it is now we should ^ probably have to use steel furniture sometime in the future. Mr. Ormsby brought with him a writing cab'net made twenty-one years ago by Mrs. Meinung's fath er. About ten years were required to make the cabinet, the work being done mostly in spare moments. The wood in this cabinet came from all parts of the world. At one place a d’me can cover thirty-five different pieces of wood. The designs and folors used are the work of an artist. After this interesting talk the meeting was adjourned. EDUCATION BY RADIO SUCCESS IN ENGLAND The affirmative side brought out the point that fear was the main cause of war and since protection did away with fear it was only plausible that ships be built to give the country that sense of security. Also the U. S. in building these ships complies with all international requirements so why should any na tion question her right to them, and how would that take it e hostile act-on? The U. S. needs to build up her navy in order to keep up with other countries. The affirm ative in summing up their points stated that the “Big Navy Bill does not contradict or violate the agree ments of the Washington Confer ence, furnishing sufficient navy only until such time as world conditions make complete disarmament possi ble; that the cruisers are to be used for commercial security, not a menace to other nations, and that the U. S. is anxious to obtain world peace in urging the president to fur ther disarmament agreements. The negative were resolved that cast lectures are proving a success. A million pamphlets, to be used in conjunction with educational talks, have been sold in the last twelve months. These pamphlets, costing 1 penny each, were forwarded in re sponse to application by letter. Since educational bodies enlisted the aid of radio their membership has increased. One hundred and forty groups of listeners meet to hear the broadcast lectures and aft erward discuss and debate them.

The manager, Edward Michael, in a book of rem iniscences, relates of those bygone years that the English actress had "A Napoleonic genius for detail and when planning theatrical campaign, and indeed, in all business matters, few things escaped her.” He adds that “she was as thorough in finan cial as in other details and knew to within $100 or $150 what her credit balance was at any moment. Furthermore, by some process of mental calculation she would esti mate the worth of the house tc within a few dollars on the rise oi the curtain.” Meet M« At WIN-SAL DRUG CO. Cor. 4ih & Cherry Sts. SODAS DRUGS Phones; - 228 - 229 Gratitude The wise old Dr_ Samuel Johnson ice said; “Gratitude is a fruit of great cultivation. You do not find it among gross people." Observa tions will convince you that this is true, at least in some degree. Cheap coarse people are usually lacking a sense of gratitude. They are likely to be the sorts who carry chips on their shoulders, brag that the world owes them a living, boast of accomplishments for which they are not responsible. Lacking a sense of appreciation of most good things, they naturally lack a sense of appreciation of what others have ione for them.—Grove Patterson, in the Mobile Register. Twain No Plagiarist Mark Twain’s famous “Jumping Frog” story caused much discussion. Twain related the story as having happened in Calaveras county, Cal ifornia, in 1849. Professor Van Dyke of Princeton pointed to the fact that the story is told in ancient Greek as having happened 2,000 vears ago. Clemens felt that the California story could not have been based upon the Greek once, since the man told the story as a fact was a simple, ignorant fellow with no contact with literature. Clemens de cided that the similarity of the two tales should be laid to co-incidence. "ou’ve heard the sheep song.” “What is it. Wool You be Mine?” “No, no.
