Class Responds and No Loss Results.
A flro which might havo caused
serious damage to valuable buildings
on the Experiment Station Farm was
discovered in the gas engine labora
tory Monday afternoon by a member
of the clags and was put out only thru
the presence of mind and heroic efforts of Professor Kelley and drover
Creech, a member of the laboratory
class.
The class in Farm Engineering was
working with stationary engines in
the gas engine laboratory and the several engines had been started and
stopped by each member until he had
the operations down letter perfect
when some ono noticed flames coming up thru the hole in the floor thru
which the exhaust pipe of the engine
was thrust and the cry of "Fire" was
sent thru the building. The class responded nobly to the call for "firemen" and buckets and even paper
sacks and drinking cups were pressed
into service to subdue the Are, which
finally gave up the ghost.
No damage was done to the laboratory building but the excitement furnished a welcome diversion for the
class and was thoroughly enjoyed by

iasm and competition aro intense. All

been displayed in the history of the

Opposite Views.
A spirited debate on the League of

Nations, with Professor Farquhar favoring the League, and Dr. Tuthill opposing it, was the feature of the program given at the meeting of the Agricultural Society Monday night.
This was ono of a series of programs given during the last week by
various organizations, on the League,
with a purpose of educating the student body on the subject which was
voted on Tuesday morning by students and faculty members.
Professor Farquhar's talk was a
brilliant presentation of his reasons
for favoring a treaty and a league.
The chief objections, and the reservations suggested were also discussed
by the affirmative speaker. Doctor
Tuthill responded with a spirited answer to the first speech.

in Circuit Court and sentenced to Ave
years in the penitentiary.
Warren was brought up on two
charges of burglary. On the night of
his appearance in Patterson Hall, he
succeeded in thoroughly frightening a
number of residents who caught sight
of him, once headed for a fire escape,
and later, trying to hide under a bed
on the second floor. He was able to
escape, however, making away with
twelve dollars.
The next night he entered the home
of Mrs. Fannie Whaley, 341 Harrison
Avenue, and was there captured by
Mrs. A. J. Allen, who held her captive at bay with a shoe horn until
help came.

The votes were counted in Dean P.
P. Boyd's office and the results posted
on a bulletin board In the main hall
of the Administration Building at 5
o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
This voluntary vote which represents the sentiment of over eighty-fiv- e
per cent of the student body and a
hundred per cent of the faculty, is
ample evidence that, if the University
of Kentucky had anything to do with
it, the League of Nations, as it stands,
without reservations, would go over
the top.
