VORS COAST PATROL SYSTEMI
tear-Admiral Robert E. Peary willI
let an address upon "An Aerial
Ot Patrol System" in Hill auditor-
i on Wednesday evening, February
under the auspices of , the AnnI
or branch of the National Security
gae. This will be the second of the
r lecture series upon "Prepared-
H" given by that society. General
bard Wood will also speak, giving
views on adequate military prep-
,tions.
For many reasons I am strongly
favor of an aerial coast patrol sys-I

I be in times of war, or threatened;
asion Its simplicity, definiteness,
ipness and, above all, its vital im-
'tance, appeal very strongly. To
'ry 'out the plans proposed it is
Lmated that approximately $400,000

ccording to the admiral's scheme,

st defense stations would be pro-
ed, with a lare fleet of flying bots

t the approach of any hostile forces,
ether by battleship, submarine, or
ship, could at once be reported to1
coast guard stations, to be situated
distances of 100 miles from eachi

It tells the.old tales of the Coo-eds not

tales of their terrible woe. )Of cold,t

because they could not go. How theyl
sit in the front of the fire their mor-!

only make a suggestion that somebody
open their eyes.

tion has ever been seen upon the lo-
cal boards. It is given here exactly as
it is being presented in New York
where the big drama has broken every
record in the stage history of the first
city In the country.
It covers a wide range of American
history and touches only the highest
points of interest in the great events
that led up to and terminated the
Civil war. The force that slavery played
in producing this crisis is traced from
its inception to its abolition. While
thg basic theme is historical in its
foundation, its intent Is the funda-
mental one of true drama The forces
which make for these results have
been marshalled upon a larger scale
than was ever dreamed of before.
Where directors of vast spectacles
have dealt with hundreds in the past,
Griffith employs thousands. Eighteen
thousand people fill his stage, which
thoas a vast territory for its back
ground. Three thousand horses pass
before your view in wide dashes over
miles of country roadway. One battle-
field is shown stretching over an area
of ten square miles and upon these
plains and trenches 10,000 soldiers
clash in a mimic warfare that is as
real as if you were an eye-witness of
the actual occurrence. Holding the
great effects in tether is a story as
tender and true as love and romance
can be pictured. There are tears and
smiles, noble sacrifices and heroic
deeds of personal valor.:
GARGOYLE VALENTINE NUMBER
E1{NJOYS UNPREVEI{ ENTE1) SALE
Owing to the constant demand for
the Valentine number of the Gargoyle,
a small number of copies held in re-
serve at the Gargoyle office have been
given out for sale to various news
stands in the city.
The unprecedented sale of this issue
was due in large measure to the un-
usual demand created by J-Hop guests.
Efforts of the staff to anticipate and
provide for this demand by printing an
extra large edition were found to be
entirely inadequate when returns from
the. sale were received, and at a late
date it was impossible to print addi-
tional copies, which accounts for the
seeming short supply.
