“Poetry deals entirely with those great eternal and
mainly forgotten wishes which are the ultimate despots of
existence. Poetry presents things as they are to our emo
tions, not as they are to any theory, however plausible, or
any argiiment, however conch;sive.”
G. K. Chesterton, in Robert Browning.
DREAM AND DEED
What of the deed without the
dream! A song
Eeft of its music and a scent
less rose.
Except the heart outside the
liand, the throng
Will bless thee little for thy
labor-throes.
The dream without the deed!
Bawn’s fairy-gold,
Paled, ere it wake the hills, to
misty gray.
Except the hand obey the heart,
behold
Thy grieved angel turns his
face away.
—Katharine Lee Bates.
There is sweet music here that
softer falls
Than petals from Vjlown roses on
the grass.
Or night-dews on still waters be
tween walls
Of shadowy granite, in a gleam
ing pass;
Music that gentler on the spirit
lies,
Than tired eyelids upon tired
eyes;
Music that brings sweet sleep
down from the blissful skies.
Here are cool mosses deep,
And through the mosses the ivies
creep,
And in the stream the long
leaved flowers weep,
And from the craggy ledge the
poppy hands in sleep.
—From, “The Lotos-Eaters”
By Tennyson.

“And 1 shall wait. If he should
not come back,
I shall have been but one poor

Whose punishment for being born

Was tobelieve and wait. You

My father, and of all men any

Save one, you are the world of

When I say this of him you must
believe me,
As I believe his eyes. He will
come back;
And what comes then I leave to
him, and God.
Edwin Arlington Robinson,
In “Tristram.”
Just when we are safest, there’s
a sunset touch,
A fancy from a flower-bell, some
one’s death,
A chorus ending from Euripides,
And that’s enough for fifty hopes
and fears

ture ’s self,
To rap and knock and enter in
our soul.

uttered by no less than the Eatin’
Boys. Boy, oh boy, it will take quite
a bit of Psychology, Biology and
some French to “figure” out where
they get their jiower.
If the above isn’t enough to sim
ply overwhelm you the Herglkrmjs
Chopstick Serenade in G Minor (it
is G even if it does sound like H—
must be something wrong with your
pitch discrimination), will make
your love of the beautiful cry *for
joy. This superb composition will
be played by its own composer, one
of Salem’s budding (almost to the
point of blooming), musicians.
These are only a very few of the
wonderful attractions that will catch
and hold your attention if you let
your curiosity and not your pocket-
book be your guide Monday nite,

Watch The World
Hitler Arms Germany
Adolf Hitler has recently decreed
that Germany is going to raise as
rapidly as possible a conscript peace
time army of half a million men—
an act which is a violation of the
Treaty of Versailles Part V. The
German people have greeted this
latest step of Hitler with a great
show of enthusiasm and rejoicing.
Hitler speaks of his latest plunge as
a further service to mankind in the
field of world peace. He is quoted
as saying: “What the German Gov
ernment, as the guardian of the hon
or and interests of the German na
tion, desires is to make sure that
Germany possesses sufficient instru
ments of power not only to main
tain the integrity of the German
Reieh but also to command interna
tional respect and value as co
guarantor of general peace.

COMMANDER DONALD
B. MACMILLAN VISITS
WINSTON-SALEM
(CONTINUED FROM PACE ONE)
I and after making ethnological stud
ies in that country in 1911 and 1912,
he organized his first expedition, and
was far in the north from 1913 until
1917, not hearing of the World War
until three years of it had been
fought.
In liis lecture Commander ^^fac-
Millan traced the voyage of people
to Labrador. These journeys were
very often concerned with the estab
lishment of Moravian Mission sta
tions.
Of the various points in nature
touched ujxjn, the iceburgs were per
haps the most interesting. Their cool,
clean forms glisten in many, many
spots on these northern waters. They
are made of tiny snowflakes, pressed
together at least 10,000 years ago-on
the top of high mountains, and slij>-
ping at the rate of one inch per day
they finally reached the sea. These
iceburgs embody from eight to elev
en times as much ice below as above,
and furnish explorers the best sup
ply of drinking water available.
The comments and pictures of the
dogs were also interesting. The dogs
are fed only at night, and are capa
ble of pulling vast loads a long way.
They resemble wolves very much,
and is is possible that some day the
theory that they are small wolves
may be proved.
Seals are caught in a very skillful
manner by using a shield of white
cloth. The attacker hides behind
this and is able to catch the seal un
awares.
The warlus is the most dangerous
animal with which the human has to
cope. They are very powerful and
have to be killed by a harpoon
rather than by being shot.
The polar bear is the king of the
north. Their tracks are followed,
and by turning the dogs free, can
be caught without a great deal of
difficulty.
Among the birds mentioned was
the eider duck. The female of this
s]>ecies of birds pluck the eider from
her breast and makes a nest of it.
After she has placed her eggs in this
nest, she makes a cover of it also.
This country, Labrador, has prob
ably been inhabitated for 1.5,000
years. The natives resemble Chinese,
Japanese, and the Indian. The race
is now’ becoming mingled with the
whites, and native features are los
ing their prominent place.
The coldest temperature known to
MacMillan in these regions is 70 de
grees below zero. The winds are
very fierce: “If it weren’t for the
winds we feel the we could do al
most anything,” stated the famous
e.tplorer.

A psychology professor at Syra

male professor kissed her and the

needle on the instrument did not re
turn to normal for a quarter of an
hour.

Are you one of these persons who
judge people at first sight? Bo you
boast of your ability to look at a
girl’s eyes or her nose or mouth or
forehead and tell how much ability
and intelligence and personality she
has? Or are you fair enough — to
yourself and to the person you’re
judging — not to let first impres
sions count too much? Some of us
may not make favorable first im
pressions and why should we, then,
be branded by them?
Think this over. Bo you try —
honestly try—to know people and to
see the best in them, to discover
their good qualities and their real
personalities? You miss such a very
great deal if you don’t.
One night I was walking down the
second floor hall of the Alice Clew-
ell Building towards the
Room. I noticed one girl — a girl
whom 1 had always considered as a
more or less care-free, and happy
go lucky sort with few serious
thoughts in her very likeable head.
This girl went from one room to an
other on the hall — inviting, with
great enthusiasm and evident joy
and sincerity all to come to the Eve
ning Watch Service.
A teacher was given a beautiful
box of home made candy last fall,
but instead of keeping it for her
self she gave it to two little moun
tain boys who dropped by to see her.
Their happiness was almost unbe
lievable and how much real pleasure
that teacher had!
How much little things tell of a
person and his character — a girl,
whom you thought stern and self-
reliant, weeping at a box of beau
tiful spring flowers; another reading
her tired roommate to sleep at night;
another having her mother bake a
birthday cake for a friend; another
visiting a homesick freshman or
taking her to ride. Those things
may not seem to be of -such extra
ordinary importance, but how very,
very much they do mean to the reci
pients.
We’re not preaching a sermon
really. We only want you to think
about these things a second or two.
The cheerful Cherub says:
“Each kind heart is like a-sun
That shines U]>on the passing eVowd
How sad I feel on selfish days
When I have lived behind a cloud.”
And again:
“We only find ourselves
In everything we see j
The more new friends I know
The more I’ll learn of me.”
Tw’inkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high

PROGRAM OF PLAYS
Elois Padrick and Noble Mc-
Ewen Among Players

act plays to raise money to contrib
ute to the National Fellowship Fund.
The plays were given by the Bra-
matic Group of the University.
The first play, “Pierrot of the
Minute, ” the “ Symphony i n

Court life of a former day, was por
trayed by Miss Elois Padrick as
Moon Maiden and Miss Edith Kirk
land as Pierrot.
The second play, which was a
tragedy interspersed with comedy,
was a Carolina folk-play, “Candles
in the Window’,” The play, written
by Margaret Bland, centers in the
faith of a mountain woman who
nightly lighted caudles in her w'in-
dow for the return of her wandering
husband. Miss ilartha Singletary
starred in the play and was excep
tionally supi>orted by Miss Borothy
Knox, Miss Mary Martin, Maguni
Turner, and Bouglas Angel.
The program was climaxed in the
last play, “The Bear Beparted,” a
comedy. The theme of the play was
a family’s quarrel over the estate of
a supiwsedly departed relative. Those
taking ]>art were Miss May Norman,
Miss Thelma Albright, W L. Whar
ton, Noble Rw McEwen, and Miss
Anne Bennett.
“Lighted Candles” was coached
