The first big evr-nt under the aus-

campaign there, said: "It will take tbej
retrospect of years to get a till! ap-j
prcciation of values accrued. The-

At Rice to Make
Character, Not Money.
Marjorte North piaving Raitta in
"Arms and the Man." comeda to be
produced by a student cast, in the
auditorium of the South End Junior
High School, February 21. is showing
remarkably fine work in rehearsals.
Miss North is well fitted for the part
and demonstrates excellent talent for
amateur work. Her beautiful voice
adds much to her acting and she is
fully able to change from the most
subtle comedy parts of her character
to the scenes of deepest pathos.
The setting of this interesting play
is in the capita) of Bulgaria. Haina
is tbe daughter of one of the country's
most influential families. Both her
father and her sweetheart are away
at the battle front—fighting the mis-
erly Serbs. A furious charge by Ser-
gius. her finance, brought victory to
Bulgarian arms. In the riot that fol-
lowed many of the hired troops of
the enemy, rather than be slashed by
the engry Bitigars, fled in alt direc-
tions. Pillaging continued into tbe
night.
After kissing her mother goodnight,
Raitta put out the candle attd lay
thinking of her wonderful Sergius.
Suddenly, she is rudely awakened by
a sharp noise at her window. In the
dim light she sees the dark outline
of a man ciintbiug into her room from
the balcony. Two shots ring out and
she hears the dull thud of two bul-
lets tearing their way into the window
ledge. The intruder steps behind the
window and casually examines the
room. Hearittg a rustle, he turns and
flashes a revolver. Tbe girl makes
a wild attempt to reach her wrapper,
but is beaten to it by the man. f stag
the tatter as a weapon, he warns her
to be silent. The matt relights the
candle and she recognizes him as an
enenty by his blood-smeared uniform.
In the meantime, a Russian officer, in
Buigarian employ, knocks at the door.
He comes in search of the fugitive.
Xot knowing why, she hides him.
This is one of the many tense mo-
ments of the play. Did Raina do the
perfectly natural thing? Bernard
Shaw has worked the plot out in a
most interesting way.
lake Henry, as Sergius, plays oppo-
site Miss North attd gives his lines
with marked sincerity and poise. The
part required certain physical charac-
teristics—a stocky military build—to
which Mr. Henry is especially adapted.
Dr. Slaughter is iti charge of the di-
rection of the play atid is pleased with
the progress made hy the cast.
"Cnless something goes radically
wrong, ever) line will be memorized
by Monday and everything will be in
readiness for mechanic))] stage direc-
tion at the rehearsal Tuesday," Dr.
Slaughter said. Wednesday.
Special attention has been paid to
the seiection of characters. Jean
Sproul, Opal Porter, E. R. Duggan, and
Caldwell McEaddin make up the re
mainder of -the cast.
Interest is already being taken in
the play. According to Miss Geane
King, assistant business manager,
reservations are already piling up for
tickets. The list of subscribers will
be announced in the next issue of
The Thresher.

has a message for the coliegemen of
America.
Mr. Eddy is one of the foremost
statesmen of today and is the fore-
most characteristically Christian
statesman. The officials of China,
when he worked there, from the pres-
ident and vice president down to the
local officers attd governors, received
Mr. Eddy, sometimes sending out of-
ficial proclamations of the meetings.
In every nation, o^ the world he is
deceived- a& -messenger of a new
and most noble statesmanship that
works. The high esteem that men
have for hint is because of his bold,
square, and confident manner of at-
tending problems. No problem of
social, moral, poiiticai or religious
nrimioles will he refuse to soive. In
no one man cau there be found such
a variety of knowledge, human under-
standing. correct judgment and self-
confidence as is found in the man,
Sherwood Eddy. He grips men in a
way that they iike to be gripped and
does things!
Mr. Eddy will speak in the First
Methodist Church on Friday evening.
February 4. at 8:15 o'clock, to the
organised young peoples' societies of
Houston. These are known as the
Christian Endeavor, tbe Epworth
League. the Baptist Young Peoples'
Union ami the Episcopal Young Peo-
ple's i'nion.

DR. CHANDLER DIS-
COVERS NEW RAY FISH
One lias often heard that there are
many kinds of fish in the sea which
have never been discovered. One of
these unknown species was drawn up
in a net in the gulf. Dr. Chandler
discovered that this fish was a new
species of ray.
He named it Raia texana, and sent
It to the museum in Washington where
It is now on exhibition.
< Quite a bit of biological importance
is attached to this discovery of Dr.
Chandler.
LOVETT TAKEN TO HOSPITAL.
H. M. Lovett, captain of the basket
ball team, was taken to the hospital
