The mirror is a popular subject, for there are always lots of pcople who are looking into it. Most iirrors are square, yet everywhere we go. we see them rond. A mirror occasionally has to be tipped or it won't work well. Some mirrors are sickly and have a long stretch of pane with some time a break. Mirrors are usually straight and have high situations in many oflices and p)rivate establishments through out the land. In character sonic are b)road,; some are narrowv, most are smooth and all hav:e a hard character ando are rather shallow. -Most of us see something to like in the mirror, yet it is always cast iiig reflections on one's p)ersonlal ap p)earance.

On Monday morning immediately after chapel the student body had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Thomas Morgan Rotch, a distinguished mem ber of the faculty of Harvard Uni versity. Dr. Rotch is in Columbia in attendance on the Public Health Confeience, and is quite an authority on child life in the South. With the kindness so characteristic of Har vard, he told us of the marvelous discovery of the X or Rontgen Ray, which Ray, however had previously penetrated even to this dark corn-er of the woods. Dr. Rotch explained the application that was made of this discovery, to determine the brain capacity of a child, anl the 'deas which he advainced along this line were of great interest. A Suggcstion. President Mitchell made a very helpful talk in chapel a few mornings ago regarding the work a student can do during his summer vacation. He recommended that a community club be formed in the student body for the purpose of advancing plans for the betterment of the several localities represented by students at this institution. In such a club plans could be made for the im provement of schools, good roads, local health conditions and other matters of like interest, and thus by a concert of action all over the Stat-, much good could be done. This suggestion is an excellent one and should be adopted, as not only the good of the State vill be advanced, but the interest of the University as well. EED. Race Suicide.
