Using Motfatt’s wording of the translation of the New Testament scriptures, President George Richmond Grose gave a most helpful address this morning at chape! period. The subject matter was taken from those verses which dealt with man’s relation with his friends and enemies and in Moffatt’s words, “if anyone compells you to go with him a mile, go two.' From this text the president drew some practical les-

sons.

“The law of success lies in this strange injunction of Jesus. The difference between the man of- mediocrity and ex< • llency is found just in the willingness of one man to go one mile and the other two. It is not what salary and how long a vacation a position gives which should be the prime o ■' -ideration when one is seeking a position. Gan you imagine a mother asking her child. “Now. youngster, what hours will I have in taking care of you?” Dr. Grose denounced the present rules and regulations which DePauw has pertaining to required hours of graduation and the point system. He lebeled it : - a device which prohibited the student from growingg up until he i graduated. The only requirement which DePauw doesn't have, said th< president, is a specified time of going to bed for the students. I ‘‘People are tending to tower themselves to the av> rage.g” emphasized Dr. Grose, “all around us we see people who arc not doing their best; they are merely ‘getting by.’’’ o E. K. Krariz. father of ‘‘Pep’’ E. S. Krantz. diretcor of physical education in DePauw University, is here the guest of his father from his home in Easton, Pa The tickets for the Girls’ Glee Club concert which will be given in Meharry Hall Friday evening at 8 o’clock may be reserved at the J.

INVESTIGATORS BRING TO THE LIGHT MATTERS SUPPOSEDLY HIDDEN FOREVER. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—It has been a long j time since the capital >>t the country 1 was in such an atmosphere as envoi ^ opes it today, one charged with elec tricity, while down in the earth seem Ingly, there are charges of high explo sixes which one after another, day by ! day explode In consonance with the ; meaning of the old expression ‘‘with might and main.’’ Every day when Washington gets on the street In the early morning, the rc-ldents ask one another "Who is today ?' and then they pick up the morn ing papers to learn the answer. No man can go to sleep at night in this town with any assurance that he is to wake up In the morning with the same freedom from care with which he went to bed. Names axe being lagged into the oil Inquiry which , no one expected ever would find place ! there, least of all. probably, the men who own the names. As things are, however, it would seem that when two j or three men are directly connected with anything which is shady, two or throe hundred men necessarily must he connected therewith indirectly, or j at any rate that attempt will lie made j to couple them up with the proceed- j Ings. In flic future It may he that men who have dealings with other men con- ■ cernlng which they do not care to have the public know anything, will . bear In mind tlm fact that under the ^ high power of the government, all tel egrams passing from one man to an Other, or from one set of men to another, can he requisitioned and read | in public. It may he in the future In- | ventlon will make such a stride that the man who talks over a telephone es-

says something at his desk with no telephone in connection will find that

his words have been recorded. Nothing Escapes the Probers. So far as the oil investigation is

concerned, an immense mass of material has been turned ta the light, material which those who made it prob-

eys IK mode may dictate the utmost 1 simplicity in frocks for the coming season, and even extend this mandate to cover evening dress, but It has no intention of leaving beauty unadorned by furbelows. Just by way of pretty, frivolous touches, it presents all sorts of scarfs, girdles, headbands and innumerable belongings, for both outer and underwear, that are made of ribbons. Spring millinery, especially in the tailored class, looks to ribbons more than to anything for decoration A head band and a scarf of wide ribbon are shown here which will bring distinction t» the most unassuming of evening frocks. Narrow ribbons in brilliant metallic weaves usually serves to make the flower motifs ap-
