calls were received during the meeting urging the hoard not to introduce the system into the local KChooi. Supt. J. F. Xuner. asked by the hoard to express his opinion on the matter of adopting the Wyoming system, said that despite the careful Mudy he had given the proposed training course, he could only nay it would he an experiment. He was. however, of the opinion that it has many good points and could under the proper conditions he made to work out to advantage. He Kaid he was willing to aMde by the decision of the hoard in the matter and would rather not influence them one nay or another n. making that decision. Oiitvhle Sentiment Dhidod. Fommunkations he has received from several other cities where the system has heen tried. Including several Wyoming cities, were divided as to its merits, some endorsing it. others doubting Its value. Mr. Nuner was. however, inclined to believe thtt the introduction of the system here at the present time, would cause much Inconvenience because the class work for the semester has already been arranged. It would he possible to organize the course especially If the hoys were willing to remain after school hours to take the work. In this case, it was pointed out the work might interfere with the regular physical cultural course and athletic work which the students of the high school must take during their first and second years course. William Clem, president of the board did not express himself definitely on the matter of adopting the training system here, at the meeting Monday night. He believes the system has good points and had and that the matter will bear further investigation. Dnimmoml Opixvsctl. K. P. Drummond, secretary of tho hoard, declared that under the present school laws it would be Impossible for the board to use any part of the school fund for buying uniforms, and he is irrevocably opposed to allowing any outside parties or organizations to purchase the uniforms for a part of the students on the grounds that It would be Impossible to conceal who were the recipients of the donated uniforms, and that knowledge of this fact would tend to create class distinctions among the students. Failed Two Years Ago. It was brought out at the meet-

Jing that an attempt to introduce a

course of military instruction Into the local school two years ago, failed when the state board of education refused to give the students taking: the course credit for the work as physical cultural training and would not permit the use of the school funds to pay for an instructor.

Notre Dame News

The senior class Monday completed plans for their dinner dance, which will be held at the Oliver hotel, the evening of April 23. At the joint meeting of the senior law and senior four year men. Harry Scott of Indianapolis, was selected as university cheer leader. This is the first time that a cheer leader has heen selected from the senior class in the. past, the leader was selected by popular ascent of the students. It is the plan of Rev. Fr. Cavanaugh and Coach Harper to have more organization in the cheering and this led to the senior election. "Scottie" will be aided in the organized cheering by five members selected from the Junior class.

The first preliminaries in the Notre Dame trial debates will be held this evening at eight o'clock. The affirmative side of the prohibition question will be upheld by Messrs. J. Musmaker. Thomas Duffey and H. Gibbons. The negative will be upheld by Messrs. John Riley, Charles McCauley, J. Meyers and George Windoffer. Since Indiana has passed legislation affecting the liquor question, Rev. William Rolger has communicated with the authorities at Cincinnati university and the question will possibly be changed to cither Ohio state wide prohibition or national prohibition. For the preliminaries, however, the question originally proposed, will be used. Namely: "Resolved; that the manufacture, sale and importation of Intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes be prohibited in the state of Indiana."

AMERICAN FLAG HAS PART IN SERVICES I tanner of the Cross Is Followed by All Who Arc Ilattling With Sin. With "Old Glory" unfurled in front of him at the Westminster Presbyterian church last evening, Itev. A. Christy lirown mixed patriotism and religion vith cleverness bet'.tting the day set aside for the commemoration of Abraham Lincoln. "The Best Flag in the World", was the fubject of his discourse.

First, the speaker gave a little etvmology of the word Mag. Then he told of the different Mags, emblems and standards that people follow. "Always", he said, "has banner of any kind been a sign for people to rally around." He outlined what the American flag means to all Americans, what a British Hag means to Englishmen, lie drew a vivid picture of the Fourth of July, any place in this country, of the Hags waved from every building and mast-head, how on every pala day "Old Glory" is down aloft as a sign of union and of victory. Here he deprecated the significance of all Mags compared with the meaning of "The Banner of the Cross." He outlined the unceasing battle between the army of sin on one side and the army of love and righteousness on the other. Always it is a fight of truth against evil, selfishness against unselfish love, right against wrong. Then he Urged the members of his congregation to choose sides, to get on one side or the other, and then to light. He said it was a mistake to think that Christianity is a sad task. "If you w-ant to see a beautiful woman", said the speaker, "look for 'he one

who is a follower of Christ." "America", and other patriotic songs, was sung by the congregation before the evening sermon. "Whatever is necessary in order .o be a Christian."

Members of the senor class of the university conducted the Lincoln's birthday exercises Monday afternoon under the direction of Prof. William Farrell. Vernon R. Helmen of South Bend, presided and delivered a short talk on tre significance of the day. Harry F. Kelly delivered an oration on "Lincoln, the lawyer," Samuel Feiwell of South Bend, recited "The Gettysburg Address," Elmer C. Tonln delivered "The Second Inaugural Address," "The Ode to Lincoln", was delivered by Andrew L. McDonough, "Lincoln, the Statesman." was the subject of the address by John E.

Cassidy.

Musical selections during the afternoon's program were furnished by the university orchestra. The program vras conducted by the singing of the sons, "Oh Notre Dame", written by Rev. Thomas Burke. One of the exceptionally good numbers on the program was the songs by the university "quartet, which is composed of Messrs. Gus Jones. James Hp.yes, Leslie Yeajjer and Harry Hurt.

Too Many Affairs of This Earth Arc Given Premlcru'c Over Christ's Call. "A Great Thing Neglected", was the main theme of the discourse by the Rev. G. A. Enterline at the Quincy Street Baptist church last evening, for which he took the text from the book of Hebrews 2-3. "Howshall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?" The great neglected thing, according to the sense of the text, he declared, is the neglection of the salvation of men's souls In this day when unrest, false conscience and unstable peace have permeated the minds of men and turned them from thoughts concerning the saving of their souls. Salvation is great because it en

compasses so much in the lives of

men who are dependent upon it for the last and tinal peace of their lives. It is three-fold in its mission. and Jesus was the one through whom it has been made manifest and possible to all mankind. Salvation which he established has for its ends, the deliverance from past penalties of sin, from the present powers of sin. and the future or ultimate penalties of sin. Salvation is created the highest sense of all, it is proven and tested for the saving of all men who accept its teachings and follow its laws. Just as every great work, that Is truly a great work, is marked by the creator of it. so is the great plan of salvation of man marked truly and plainly with the mark of divine authorship. The greatness of the divine plan was the work of the greatest of all beings. wh: came and dwelt amongst us and died for our sins that his plan might be known to us. and be made simple to. us.

al hours of debate Monday on tho j 1

provision in the postorlice appropriation bill to increase the rates on second class mails, including newspapers and magazines, to reduce to one cent the rate on drop letters, failed to brin the senate to a vote on the motion of Sen. Hryan to suspend the rule against legislation on an appropriation. Suspension of the rules requires a two-thirds vote, but friends of the amendment expect to rally enough support to do it, their hope being based largely on the known desire of some senators to have an opportunity to vote separately on the various changes proposed. Fen. liryan for the postothce committee, in advocating the amendment, said it costs the government about $100,000.000 a year to haul second class matter and that it rereives for the service about $11,OiAOOO. He said the increase would mea;' only about $5.000,000 next year i.i added revenue from the newspapers and magazines and insisted it was unfair that the government continue to nve what he called "an enormous subsidy" to the newspapers and magazines and not reduce the cost of letters postage which now furnishes about threefourtha of the postal revenues. Division of the amendment into two sections so that the senate may vote separately on proposals to Increase tho rates on newspapers and magazines was proposed by Sen. Stone. He said he believed it cost more to transport magazines than newspapers proportionately. ten. Hoke Smith declared his information showed that it does not cost the government much if any more than one cent per pound to

Mr. Hane writes "My little boy took sick one night very suddenly with a heavy cold, so we applied your salve on his chest and saved ourselves nning for the doctor. The next day we could scarcely tell he had a cold." It is a fact that most colds are relieved in one night, and croup usually in fifteen minutes just by applying VapoKub over throat and chest and covering with a warm tlannel cloth. This preparation works in two ways lirst it is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, taking out the tightness and soreness, and then the heat of the body liberates the ingredients which .e inhaled in the form of vapors.

MAM TWAIN

25 Volumes

"Joan of Arc" came out first as an anonvmous romance in Harper's Magazine. But the secret was soon out. The great men of the world said: "Who could have written it but Mark Twain?" Who else could have written this one of the most spiritual, one of the most lofty books that ever came from the pen of man ? It hau almost the simplicity, the loftiness of the Bible it has a whimsical touch which makes it human. So that Mark Twain's Joan of Arc is no cold statue in a church no bronze on a pedestal, but a wann, human, loving girl. Our hearts break for her awful fate.

Novels, Stories, Humor, Essays, Travel, History To us whose chuckles had turned to tears of pathos at "Huckleberry Finn" to us who felt the cutting edge of a "Connecticut Yankee" to us who saw the keen vision in 4 4 Innocents Abroad" the coining of "Joan of Arc" from the pen of Mark Twain was no surprise. Read "Joan of Arc" if vou would read the most sublime thing that has come from the pen of any Ainerican. Bead Moan of Arc" if you would know Mark Twain in all his greatness. It is not a history, in the true sense, and yet it is as accurate as anv historv. It is a story told by one of Joan of Arc's followers. You will feel all through as though it were your grandfather talking to you in a kindly, simple way.

Mark Twain wanted evervone in America to own a set of his books. So one of the last things he asked us was that we make a set at so low a price that everyone might own it.

And until now we were able to sell it at this low price. But a thing
