The Personal Pereginations of Algernon Swinburne Stapleton-Smith or Pi ng Lost in a London tg CHAPTER THE THIRD Algae in India. A tall, thin, yellow-faced boy lounged on a horse-blanket near an open grave. It was an Indian ceme- tery near Simla and there were al- ways fresh-dug graves because. the native ‘young died so thick in the Hill rains. Not far away lay a young subaltern puffing at a hookah. Presently he took‘ the thing out of ‘his mouth and pointed at a scrawny figure moving slowly down the hill below them, “who is that Fabaryihg, Algae?” “That is my halahdah,” said the boy peevishly, “he is packing my things. Ha! , Leave Cancelled. Indeed.” “T start tonight with the pack-train. I must get-a camel.” ‘Where is your pony, Leftenant?” asked Algae. “Dead,” said the subaltern, “famine 9 o’Clock and Be Prompt! Lest anyone feel that this editorial board has foregone tradition, we hasten to take a preliminary turn around that stamping-ground of every undergraduate journalistic staff—the Library. The 8.30 morning return on Reserve Room books is observed by few, because most students do not eat breakfast until eight-fifteen and have no intention of rising earlier to spend a fruitless half-hour in the Library before classes. They realize that few students come to the Library at 8.30 and feel that those who do so can easily make known the fact on a reserve slip the night before. Those in charge at the Library apparently feel that this attitude is justified; for few of the many violators who bring back the books at nine, or even eleven o'clock, are punished. Yet this state of affairs is scarcely conducive to strict obedience to Library rules generally. If the eight-thirty rule can be broken, perhaps the weekend or the stacks rules may also be violated without penalty. A nine o'clock return, strictly enforced, would produce greater respect for all Library rules. The assistant in the Eigeerve Room should then have an alpha- betical list of all students in college™ Any books returned after nine o'clock —even minutes late—would cause a»check to be made against that name; and two or three checks would mean swift and automatic suspension of privileges. While catering to the convenience of the majority, such a change would vastly improve the morale of the college with regard to Library regulations in general. In most cases these are-more than generous and need-only a few corrections. Liberal rules strictly enforced prove in the end more efficient than stringent rules seldom obeyed. © Caravanning for Peace The Youth Section of the Emergency Peace Campaign offers with the vigor of a new organization a rare opportunity to all who are seriously interested in world peace. Feeling that talk alone is not sufficient, they offer action to younggpeople. In groups of five and six under leaders they will enter rural is in strategic political regions of the country and there organize programs, lead discussion groups and propagate peace information. They will be able to discover for themselves the best means to arouse a-deep and farsighted feeling for world amity, and they will learn where lie the roots of public opinion. By actual experience, they will find methods to influence this public opinion toward international cooperation, and they will bring home from their caravan tours a store of practical means to avoid the * pitfalls of mere idealistic conversation. To students leaving college or facing an idle summer, disinclined to burrow further into books and unable to travel widely, ‘yet anxious to do something worthwhile, this is a rare opportunity. Ambitious future workers in welfare, politics, peace and education alike will find here a common field in which to acquire practical experierice. The training alone would be invaluable; but far more than this these caravans will be part of a nation- wide campaign to keep the United States out of war. Here is an unequalled chance to help make a great and popular ideal an actuality. It Pays to Keep Up The News announces in this week's issue that Dr. Fenwick has kindly consented to act as faculty sponsor for a Current Events Contest put out by Time magazine and to be given on May second. The News will sponsor the contest among the students, but feels that, in justice to Time, the maga- zine’s offer of prizes cannot.be accepted unless at least fifty students plan: to participate. There is no preparation necessary for the contest except a fair knowledge of the headlines of the newspapers and magazines which lie around the smoking room each day. The contest here has a twofold purpose, to discover just how closely Bryn Mawr students follow the news of the day, and to stimulate their inter- est in what i is happening outside of college. Time has been very generous in its offers of prizes and Dr. Fenwick and the News board have poted to dis- tribute the money in many small prizes, feeling that in 1 this way everyone will have an equal chance. Such.a contest, requiring as it does, no work, will make a very welcome variation from» May Day work in the lull before the final dash. If it is a Success, more tests with greater scope will follow next year.

Where go you from the hills? To meet the colonel-sahib?” “No,” said Algae. “My father is in the Bengal army, and I go along the great Trunk Road to Calcutta with two women.” “You travel with women?” “With my English ayah and my father’s wife. Hi ali! I am sick of women. Where go you?” “To England,” said the subaltern. “England, eh?”. said Algae in hindustani, “what is this England- place that the women jabber about?” “The land of the white mem-log, Bandar,” said the leftenant. “Don’t you remember Kensington and Put- ney? It is time you went home.” “That is what my mother tells me,” said the yellow-faced boy, rising from the blanket. “Pig!” (To Be Continued) Song of the Veterans of Future Wars Addressed to the Home Fire Ausiliary.
