MH ESTABLISHED 1832. i Cler k , In the Rain and Mud Cadet Corps of University of Georgia Unexpect edly Stood Test. •In an enat wind and drizzling rain which continued throughout the morning, the university cadets were Inspected by the government lnspec tor, Capt. Geo. H. Jameson, of the general staff. In spite or the disa greeable weather, the cadets made an excellent showing, and thellr equip ment was found to be In fine shape. The work of, the batelllon as a whole was vety good and the Butts' Manual was executed by it In first- class style. The batalllon drill showed the results of the careful training of tjus,officers by their com mandant, MaJ. Jos. A. Atkins, In this line, and the hearty co-operation of the cadets wltfi their officers. The companies all made good show ings la the company drills, both In close and extended order, and exe cuted the bayonet exercise well, al though they have had practice In It only a few times. The captains and lieutenants deserve great credit for the manner In which they have brought their men up to such a high degree of efficiency In the different kinds of drills. The artillery put up a good appear ance, baring their pieces thoroughly cleaned, and proving their ability to handle them with ease. Several vol leys were fired by them. The band was as good as usual with the music, and made a very neat appearance. The main feature of the inspection probably was the exhibi tion of the signal corps In signalling with the wig-wagging of the flags operation of the wireless telegraph field outfit, which belongs to the phy sics department of the university, and which was constructed by Mr. S. B„ Slack, who Is the-commander of the signal corps; and the operation of the regular telegraph outfit which will be used by the signal corps In the field work this spring. The men are very expert In. sending and receiv ing signals with the flags and the wireless and telegraph outfits are op erated by Lieut. Slack with ease which shows his superior knowledge of the subjects. The cadets went through the morn ing in. the drizzling rain with a cheer fulness which shows their willing ness to keep up the reputation of the university In the military department nnd the Inspector seemed to be very much pleased by the showing that •they made. MaJ. Atkins expressed himself as being pleased with the showing of the cadets. From this time there will be held three drills a we$k except when there Is a ball game on the campus, and dress parade will be held every Fri day afternoon at 5:30 o'clock. e «or THE BANNER, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 14, 1911. $14)0 YEAR 4II Xiong the Lines in Georgia and Alabama Hammers and Saws ^ Making Music.

The fight has lasted over two years. has gone through the recorder’s court, through the superior court, through the state court of appeals, through the United States supreme court. There was nobody else on earth to appeal It to, barring .an In ternational arbitration board, and now Loeb is on the rock pile. slon hae arisen at .Princeton over the question of whether or not It is effeminate for college boys to take the part of girls in dramatic produc tions. In a recent Issue of the Daily Prlncetonlai^ college newspaper, a correspondent who signed himself "Alumnus” protested against the cus tom; but .the Princeton Tiger, -which contains once a month all the cam pus Jokes, defends It editorial^.

Bunn, Jr., editor of the Tiger; and the play was successfully presented twice last week—on Friday nlghfln private be fore tbe faculty members and wives, and again Saturday night before the students of the University. "Alumnus” had this to say: "I have for some years heard many grumblings of disgust, which 1 fully share, at the annual spectacle" which ls_off«red by college 'men' disguised as female dancers.
