In back of the Seismology Laboratory is a small building being rapidly completed. It is a greenhouse in which it is hoped many plants will be raised. This building would have a practical value for us if it were only to grow flowers for the altar in Dahlgren Chapel; but a sur- mise as to an additional purpose might not be out of place. Could not wild flowers be raised in a part of this building, that part being used as a nursery? With this help they could without a great deal of effort be trans- planted to the scientifically proper soil bordering the Georgetown walks. It is true that there are many wild flowers in that territory, but there could be many more set forth for there is yet much room.

Blindfolded.. in scientific test of leading Cigarettes, Princess Paul Chavchavadze selects OLD GOLD

"I was much intrigued by the invitation to make a blindfold test of your leading brands of Ameri- can cigarettes, to see how they compared with each other and with those I had smoked abroad. Could one really taste the difference? I wondered. "But when I was handed these cigarettes, one by one, I realized at once that there was a difference and that the test was conclusive. One cigarette was so much more appealing, so much more delicate in flavor. Oh, and so much smoother! "When the test was over and I was told that the cigarette of my choice was OLD GOLD I understood at once why this cigarette is so popular among my American friends." J^a &A6fr&£*ot&<: it-

No one can *_ doubt that music will be lacking, for we have all had experience with the un- doubted musical talent of those peerless musicians, the Georgetown Collegians. The recent offer of a contract with the Brunswick Company to record for them is proof of their recognized talent. The committee in charge has spared no effort to make this affair a success, and in engaging the best college orchestra in the East and in the preparation of refreshments can be seen the fruit of their efforts. One of the finest ballrooms in the city has been secured and in all indications point to an abdication in that regal splendor which the past successes have led us to expect.

MASK AND BAUBLE TO PRESENT PLAYS DURING COMMENCEMENT WEEK. Mr. Gustave Dumas, S.J., Moderator of the Mask and Bauble Club, has announced that the society will present two one-act plays during commencement week. The plays will be staged on Sunday, June 10th, the day given over to the entertainment of the visitors in general and the parents in particular.
