              chemist turns sleuth to solve mystery of sweet young maiden two inches tall weighed 98 pounds could cook fudge and cake but not a steak and thought lehigh was just too cute if you fail to follow this last step call 5242 and ask for max who will gladly fix you up it is needless to point out to so experienced a group of readers as the brown and white enjoys that the loss of the loved one's ring may easily bring down the curtain on that particular affair and it is this that the benevolent chemistry de partment wishes to prevent hence this article is written in the hope that it will reach the fellow who lost the ring and if he will call at the brown and white office it will be appre ciated since dr ullmann has pro mised to have the executive com mittee composed of philo vance sherlock holmes father brown and the shadow confer the roy al order of the leather medal with an elegant embossment of the jaw bone of an ass upon the depart ment detective provided he can complete and balance the equation he has set up love someone has said is the best the chemist will ever find to be a universal solvent and more over except for a certain few of its phases the beaker and test tube wielder has very little control over its manifestations late last spring a george wash ington high school graduation ring was found in the washroom of the chemistry building in it were en graved the initials g e and the date 33 the sleuth was called in and a brief period of confinement to la borious thought gave birth to the deduction that the wearer being at lehigh in 33 must have graduated from high school at least by 32 and hence the ring had been given to him by someone and the belief that that someone was a sweet young maiden was con firmed by the fact that a quarter inch segment had been inserted in the band in order to enlarge it to fit the student's finger but our sleuth didn't stop a further deduc tion the girl had raven black tresses sapphire blue eyes was five feet r.o.t.c

of the department of military science and tactics this schedule will include one hour of drill per company each week two companies will meet at the armory on monday two on tuesday and two on wednesday there are two reasons for these new drills he says under the old system of dropping outdoor drill during the winter there was a big break in instruction and it was ne cessary to make a new start in the spring it is hoped that these indoor drills will bridge over the gap and per mit the military work to be picked up in spring where it was left off at the close of the outdoor drills the officers of the department hope to be able to eliminate extra make-up drills made necessary by inclement weather eight hours of drill have already been missed this year but major green says that there will not be any outdoor make ups for these and he also stated that there will be no extra drills in spring unless an unusual number of drills are missed during the spring period each of the six companies will
