TELLS OF RAILROADING IN CENTRAL AMERICA Al the regular meeting of the Engin eering Club Friday evening, Mr. H. W. Libby gave a very interesting account of his railroading experiences in Cen tral America. The railroad with which he was con nected was built for the United Fruit Company, in the Changuinola vtalley, for the purpose of furnishing transpor tation for the company’s large banana fields. The road was built through a tide marsh, where the ground was so marshy that it would flow if trenches were dug in it. Covering the ground everywhere was a thick mat of underbrush with heavy roots. On these roots the rail road was built. Steel and concrete were used, as white ants would eat wood. President and Mrs. Campbell and Professor and Mrs. DeCou were guests of the Delta Sigma fraternity at dinner Wednesday evening. - Bell “Theatre - Follow the Crowd and See cKinzic & cores erry kers in 1 of their Famous Comedies HASTINGS SISTERS BEAUTY PARLOR AU.

PERHAPS NO STUDENT DANCES THIS SEMESTER Owing to a conflict in dates, Ihc stu dent body dance for this semester can not possibly be given before April 29, and may not be pulled off at all. Ever since examinations, petitions have been pouring in thick and fast, and now the committee on student affairs announces that there are no more open dates until the last week in April. This will put off the dance till after spring vaca tion. and will bring the event so near (n Junior Week Fnd and the Junior Prom that it may be thought advisable not to hold it at all. It is certain, however, that there will he no dearth of entertainment this se mester, and there is a chance that the affair may be run off toward the latter part of May.

WILKINSON GIVES INTERESTING BIBLE TALK Interest in the series of discussions that are being held Friday evenings on the different phases of Bible investiga tion is growing rapidly. In spite of a number of diverting attractions, the lec ture by Dr. H. S. Wilkinson last night on “The Literature of the Bible,” was one of the best attended meetings for several weeks. Dr. Wilkinson is recognized as one of the most interesting and forceful speakers in this part of the state, and his presentation of this phase of the Bible, while limited because of the short time allowed him, was both compre hensive and thorough. He brought out the poetic beauty of the Psalms and other parts of the Bible, the excellence of narration of the gospels, the com pelling logic of the arguments of Paul, showing why the Bible is entitled to a place as the greatest literary production of all ages, and how the greatest writ ers and speakers of history have based their works on this book. Dr. Sheldon will speak next Friday evening on “The Ethics of the Bible,” a subject that all thinking college men are interested in. PROFESSOR I. M. GLEN RECOVERING RAPIDLY On account of indisposition resulting from manifestation of la grippe.” Professor Glen was unable to meet his classes on Monday and Tuesday of the past week, and though he returned to his work upon Wednesday, he is still only in the convalescent stage of his m dady and is compelled to use a cane in order to get about.
