Campaign is sweeping the college

Besides working briskly, the girls
who once panted over a stroll
find time and energy to play soccer
and tennis for long, hard hours.
They conscientiously keep count of
the number of glasses of water they
drink daily, the number of hours
they sleep nightly and the number
of colds they have weakly.
Should they lag in their efforts
they have two incentives to urge
them on and make them take new
courage. One, and foremost, is the
thought of that handsome loving cup
now in the possession of the Sopho
mores. Eaeli class is hoping to own
it for a while.
Then another thing which will in
spire a number of the most obese
maidens, is the idea that moderate
eating and much exercise are sure toi
bring about a reduction.
It is our firm belief that, through
the Efficiency Campaign, the Atli-

“BY SOOCIIPW!' WATERS”
An old Chinese garden gay with
hrilliant-plumed birds, and multi
colored flowers; lanterns dro|iping
from trees covered with foamy eher-
blossoin.s—all this is a bit of
Sooehow, old in years, in tradition
and custom, but still young in its
Chinese h. art.
In such an atmosphere Louise
Jordan Miln places her latest novel,
‘By Sooehow W'aters.” Mrs. Miln
is known to thousands of readers as
a writer thoroughly familiar with
and sym])atlietic with her subject,
China. Here wc find the old, old

turquoise lake which the slowly

temples whose walls depict

functions of the English colony; in
the ancient courtyards of mandarins’
palaces; in those fascinating out-of-

orient, and through it all comes the
poignant, gay yet sad, lyric of an
ipossible love, it predominates, and
t at tlu' end—there is the inevit
