The Secretary of the Treasury has
that neither the soldiers,
sailors, nor their dependents or any
beneficiaries under the soldier and
sailor insurance law need employ at-
torneys or claim agents to collect the
insurance; that the employment of
such intermediaries is unnecessary
and inadvisable and a needless ex-
pense.

Of course, we have always to

can be well organized before
the permanent spring time
comes.
It seems to be the psychologi-
cal moment for the initiation
of the popular athletics. The
girls are anxious to find some-
thing to do out of the house.
They are searching for a lead-
er. There is one, and only one
if our judgment is true, who
not only is able but also wil-
ling to begin this work. When
we need him he does it.
In all our past athletic ex-
periments three things have
been needed. We have had
trouble in getting the chapel
hours in which to present and
continue our efforts. Frequent
chapel hours, with thfr
lege of runnning over
are necessary.
Last year, the lack of the
place to hold the meet was the
final cause of its postponement.
Before we begin it again we
must have definite assurances
that such will not be the case
this year.
And as is always the case,
in athletic matters, we lack the
co-operation of the faculty as
a whole- Some members to be
sure are behind the student
body but there are some who
pay little attention to any stu-
dent activity which does not
bear directly on the prepara-
tion of the lessons which they
assign. Do these members think
that the students do not no-
tice their failing? Let them be
informed as to the contrary. As

their loyalty and makes a strong call
for their co-operation in winning the

however makes the assertion that the j

world, and while they do not pro- j

not necessary that they should do j

"give us fits?" The dictionary, al-

to the oi4gin of "tooth," telling us
what it is in Anglo-Saxon, in Gothic,
in German, in Greek, in Latin, and in
Sanskrit. Surely this should show
the importance of the subject.

The response of the farmers, says
Mr. Wilson, to the demands of the
present emergency has been in every
way remarkable, and he quotes fig-
ures in proof of the assertion. These
achievements, he urges, should be re-

fingerp, come by the fist of his play-

ceases to lie awake at night for fear
of swallowing a tooth, and begins to

his eye-teeth are cut, he is supposed

when his wisdom teeth arrive he be-
comes a voter. Strange, isn't it, that
four wisdom teeth can bring the bal-
lot to a man-child while even dyna-
mite cannot bring it to the suffra-
gettes of England?
But days of decline follow. The
man fuces dangers which the hoy
never knew, and often escapes "by
the skin of his teeth." This strain
tells on the teeth. Visits to the dent-
ist follow. They begin, in Shakes-
peare's words, "to wear a golden sor-
row," and he is provoked to cry, "Un-
easy lies the tooth that wears a
crown!" He remembers the maxim
of Emerson, "Don't laugh, or you will
show all your faults" and like the gift
horse, does not want people to look
in his mouth. At last comes the evil
day when his last tooth deserts him.
The false ones remain, but with the
Old Testament Preacher he says,
"I find no pleasure in them." Life
dawned for him with the coming of
his first tooth; the night draws down
when he loses his last.
