Von Luckner is in this country now as good-will ambassador.- He is anx ious to bring about a better under standing between his country and America. He told of beginning his wander ings when he was fourteen because of his desire to see Buffalo Bill. Af ter wandering in Australia for some time he came to America. On reach ing Denver he learned his hero was in Germany. He returned to Ger many seven years later and attended a navigation school. He joined the German Imperial Navy and later be came a lieutenant, keeping his prom ise to his father. When Germany was blockaded he conceived the Idea of running the blockade with an old windjammer. He sailed his ship as a Norwegian sailing boat.

FEW DIE AM) NONE ItEHIGX, HO WHY NOT FIRE THKM? "Any honest man In office who can not accomplish the purpose for which he accepted office should resign.

Plaster Models Added To Biology Department Innocent Causes of Much Excite ment When Being Brought to H.M.H.S. v Yes, our own business man was pursued by a policeman the. other day! If you don't believe it, ask him. And on such a serious charge abduction! No, even worse- foul murder! Now, everyone, calm down. It was this way: Mr. Jennerjohn was bring ing some models down to the biology department from their store room and a policeman, seeing the half opened head, and possibly suspicious because of foul deeds committed in other cities, chased him. The things creating all this excite ment have been causing just as much, but of a different kind, at their regu lar place the bilogy laboratory of the Hugh Morson High School. While the science department has always been considered well equip ped, it is now even more so, and equipment is always being added in order to make the course a better one. The latest additions are mod els of the torso of a man, the eye, the heart, and the eart. All are hand painted and labeled in greatest de tail. They are made by the Denager- Geppert. Company of Chicago, makers and importers of anatomical models. For the average course in physiology these models make the science de partment rank with the science Ae partments of many colleges. General Albert Cox Talks At Junior High Tells of Traits of Character and the Achievements of Lee and Jackson On Friday morning, January 25, General Albert Cox spoke to the stU' dents of the Junior High School on the lives of Lee and Jackson, the oc casion being the observance of the birthdays of these distinguished southern soldiers. General Cox, in his address, pictured the excellent traita-ot-iharactoy ot theoo Ber-Htd also their ability as leaders. Lee and Jackson General Albert Cox made a talk about Robert Edward Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson in the Junior High auditorium to the 7-B students. "America" was first sung by the pupils, and then the Lord's Prayer was repeated. After that followed the talk, which was a good one. Robert Edward Lee was born Jan uary 19, 1807. "Stonewall" Jackson was born January 21, 1824. Lee and Jackson fought bravely four years In battle. These men are known to have been very great mili tary leaders. When Jackson was shot dead by one of his own men by mis take, Lee said he had lost his right arm, for Jackson was so important and such a help that he called him his right arm. General Jackson never faced en deavor unless asking his Creator, the Lord, to give him power. After the war was over and Jack son was gone, Lee was elected presi dent of Washington College, now Washington and Lee University. He held this office until he died In 1870. Though we are only boys and girls of today, we are men and women of tomorrow. We hope to keep the brave and wonderful deeds of Lee and the faithfulness of Jackson al ways.

McMillan Makes Talk In Memory of Lee State and American Flags Given by Johnston-Pettigrew Chapter The Johnston-Pettigrew Chapter of the United Daughters of the Con federacy sponsored the chapel exer cises on January 25, at which R. L. McMillan spoke on Robert E. Lee. The speaker said that if virtues be the scale by which greatness is meas ured, Lee was the greatest man America has produced. As a military genius Lee surpassed Charlemagne, Napoleon, and the other great lead ers; as a man of peace he was equally unsurpassed. He declined an offer that would bring him wealth to take up the reins of a little college in Vir ginia. With greater patience and courage than it took to fight the Civil War, the people of the South rose under Lee's leadership to under take the rebuilding of all that had been destroyed by the war. Lee was a peace-time leader, full of honor, modesty, and virtue. After the speaker had finished his talk, Mr. Wessinger exhibited the terfS'UaroTina ffagfifcr Ea&TVeeTl given the school by the Johnston Pettigrew Chapter. An American flag has also been given by this chap ter.
