Linfield Entry State Forensic

Contest Winner "American Optimism," Theme

Discussed in After-Dinner Speaking Contest

Jack M. Baker of Linfield college won first place In the fourth annual After Dinner Speaking Contest of the Inter­collegiate Forensic Association of Ore­gon, which was held in the Newberg Friends church, December 8.

Mr. Baker's subject, a subtoplc to the general heading, "American Optimism," was, "Those Great Fundamental, Un­shaken Values."

During his speech he said that "few of the really fundamental things of life have been affected by the depression," and "most of the things that were swept entirely away were superficial." For that reason, he said he believed that the spirit of American Optimism at the present time is not only justifi­able but very desirable and necessary for speedy recovery.

Oregon State College, represented by George Robertson, speaking on the sub­ject, "Everything's O. K.," won second place. He showed that such indiscrim­inate optimism is far from desirable and tha t American optimism should not be substituted for active opposition to vi­cious forces "working to undermine pol­itics and religions, two of the most won-

T. W. C. A. CABINET ATTENDS CONFERENCE AT WILLAMETTE

The T .W. C. A. cabinet spent Satur­day, Dee. 9, at Willamette University in conference with cabinet girls from Albany and Willamette. Campus prob­lems were discussed during the morn­ing session. During the afternoon an inspirational two day conference for small colleges, to be held at "Willamette during the early part of February was planned. The theme of the conference is to be the meaning of Y. W. C. A. on campuses and how to make T. W. C. A. more vital in the lives of college women. The discussion leader will be Dr. Clarkson of Willamette.

All old students of Pacific are in­vited and earnestly urged to attend the Old Students' Reunion which will take place Friday night, December 29.

According to Ralph A. Moore, pres­ident of the Old Students Associa­tion, the program will be:

7:00 P. M.—Basketball game, P. C. Ararslty vs. Old Students.

8:30 P. M.—Business Meeting. ' 8:45 P. M.—Program.

BACHELORS ORGANIZE; ELECT OFFICERS AND

MAKE BANQUET PLANS

Pacific college bachelors have formal­ly organized for the first time in the history of the school. At the first meet­ing of the new club, Thursday fore­noon, December 14, the following of­ficers were chosen for indefinite terms: First cook (president), Angus Henrick-son; second cook (vice president), Virgil Hiatt; third cook, Elwood Egelston; first dishwasher and secretary, Howard Richards; second dishwasher, Clayton Hicks; first drier, Wlllard Hehn; and second drier, Ben Leuthe. It is still unsettled In the minds of the group whether these officers are practical, ex­ecutive or honorary.

A banquet, to be held In the near future, was briefly discussed. Due to the fact that this is the time of their pre-Chrlstmas fast, the Bachelors de­cided to set the time of this proposed banquet ahead to some evening early in January.

Besides the officers listed above, the club claims the following membership: Alfred Boyer, Harvey Campbell, Ken­neth Fowler, Alfred Funk, Rex Hamp­ton, Charles Henrlckson, and Wendell Morse.

NEW MEMBERS DO WORK AS PART OF INITIATION

INTO LETTERMEN'S CLUB

The number of members of the Gold "P" , lettermen's club, was augmented by 13 when the informal part of the initiation was administered last Satur­day evening-at the gymnasium.

Believing that something constructive should be done, and at the same time having something that would really be an initiation, the Gold " P " club set its initiates to work cleaning and doing constructive work about the gymna-

DELEGATES. GIVE REPORT ON ECONOMICS CONFERENCE

On December 7, in the Y. W. room, the International Relations club enjoyed one of the most interesting sessions this year. The delegates to the recent economic conference gave reports on four lectures and their respective ta­ble discussions.

Howard Richards spoke on the "NRA as an Instrument of National Recov­ery." The basis of his report was a speech given by Mr. S. H. Blalock, northwest district administrator of NRA. Bernice Coppock then reviewed an address, "Russian Economic Recov­ery Program," delivered by Mr. Bert G. Mitchell, former T. M. secretary in Russia. "German Economic Policy," given by Dr. Walter L. Reinhardt, Ger­man consul in Seattle, was the topic of Helen Arney's report. The last re­view was that of an address, "Inter­national Organization and Economic Na­tionalism," by Dr. Linden A. Mander, professor of Political Science in the Uni­versity of Washington, given by Maisle Burt. At the end of each report, the club entered Into informal discussion of the topic.

JERICHO'S WALLS A blare of trumpet and the beat of drum Showed that the chosen people had come Inside the barriers of Jericho's wall And caused its cold, gray stones to fall. Just so 'tis happening in our day; The chiming bells of Christmas say: "Oh, hardened walls of the human heart, This is a place from which cheer must start! Forget your indifferences, selfishness, greed, Peace on earth, good will to men heed; With trueness of heart, ask the Savior above To make this Yuletide one filled with true love. When this is done, you will truly believe To give is more blessed than to receive."

Student Body Play "The Tinker" Wins

Audience's Praise Performance Will Be Repeated

Tuesday Night for Ladies Auxiliary Benefit

"The Tinker," a three act play of the Christmas season, by Fred Eastman, was presented by the student body of Pacific college on Saturday evening, De­cember 9, to a well filled house, and in response to many requests will be repeated a t "Wood-Mar Hall on Tuesday evening, December 18, as a benefit for the Woman's Auxiliary of Pacific col­lege.

The title role was played by Ernest Pearson who, as the Tinker, entered the troubled home of the Whitney fam­ily at the beginning of the holiday sea­son and finding that they, like the grandfather Clock he had come to re­pair, had to be taken apart before they could be put together again, he con­trived it all, bringing to them the true spirit of love and Christmas giving as he made the old clock run again. His quaint speeches were full of homely philosophy and a loving concern for the people who had forgotton family and friendship and kindness in their mad quest for money and social suc­cess, and in his gentle way he brought a broader vision not only to the Whit-neys but to his audience as well.

CHEW AND CHATTER CLUB MEETS FOR FIRST TIME

Boys, girls, be careful, the royal or­der of the Chew and Chatter club has been organized and the charter mem­bers have already convened. The seven members (all of the fairer sex) met at at the home of Mrs. Don Larimer on Friday evening, December 15, and took the solemn vows of meeting every Fri­day evennig at the stroke of eight, in the House of Secrets to report the choice bits of the week. Use discretion, there may be one of these sleuthing creatures just around the corner. If, by any chance, you are summoned be­fore this sage group, by all means make your appearance or else—you may be sorry!

COMING FORENSIC CONTESTS With the completion of the After Din­

ner Speaking contest, there remain three more forensic events this year in which students with any public speaking or oratory aspirations should be Interested.

There is, first, the Extemporaneous Speaking contest. In this contest the general toplm and several sub-topics are given in advance so that preparation may be made. Then three hours be­fore the contest each entry draws a topic and in the time prepares his speech.

Then there is the State "Old Line" contest in which any subject may be used. The only restriction is that it be not over 16 minutes in length or approximately 1600 words.

Probably the most Important contest In respect to the reward received for the work is the Peace contest. This speech should not be over 15 minutes in length and must definitely deal with •the problem of Peace and how Peace may be accomplished. In this contest there are prizes of $26, $15 and $5 awarded each school's three highest con­testants, provided there are six or more in the competition.

Anyone interested In these contests should s tar t to work soon, and there is no better time than the Christmas holidays. Speeches of the nature of those to be used in these contests can­not be prepared over night but require a good deal of time and careful prepara­tion. Although it is over a month till the first contest, it will pay to get go­ing on the speaches right away.

"THE TINKER" AGAIN Many people saw "The Tinker" and

really enjoyed It. It Is being given again for the benefit of the Ladies Aux­iliary. This organization is one that is vital in the successful continuation of the college, but it needs help so it can do those things it wants to do. Let 's show the ladles we are back of them in the same way we did the stu­dent body and have a large crowd here tonight!

We noticed in the last edition that Jean Gardner wouldn't smoke Old Golds 'cause there wasn't a cough in (Coffin) a car load. We wonder how Dorothy Morse stands. Would she walk a mile for a Camel (Campbell)?

We observe that maybe there ought to be a park bench In the stack room of the library.

HELP WANTED Here we find what Helen Leonard be­

lieves a series of notes between Doro­thy Dix and her correspondent might possibly say. In her explanation Miss Leonard says, "I wrote this just as sim­ple mindedly a s I could—one would have to be simple minded to write to Dorothy Dix." Dear Dorothy Dix:

I am a girl of eighteen years. I am reasonably good looking, have several accomplishments and am considered a good pal. Here is my trouble. I am in love.

The object of my affection is a young man of twenty-five. He Is extremely charming, good looking and agreeable. He says he loves me and we are happy, at times.

It Is wonderful when he is around, but how can I keep him around enough? He has what is known a s a wandering foot, and that foot is always leading him away from me. But it always brings him back. How can I stop his wanderings?

Unhappy. Dear Unhappy:

My .suggestion would be; sometime don't let your young man wander back. Forget him for a while. Go out with someone else. D. Dix.

Dear Miss Dix: I have tried your suggestion and it

has caused considerable trouble. My young man, Hubert, caused a frightful scene when he saw me at dinner with another man. Now Hubert won't speak to me.

Tell me, kind adviser, what shall I do? Really Unhappy Now.

P. S.—The other iellow was awfully nice.

R. U. N. Dear Unhappy:

You must call your young man up. Tell him you will be happy to return to his side if he will only stop his wan­dering away. D. D.

Dear, dear Dorothy Dix: Again I have followed your advice,

but my lover feels that he has been abused. He says be cannot be happy now that he knows I have gone with someone else.

Dannie, the main who took me out, called on me and apologized for any part he might have had in that fright­ful scene that Hubert caused. Tell me, dear Miss Dix, how can I make Hu­bert understand that it is he I love.

Poor Unhappy.

MissMiss Dix: You did not answer my last note, but

I want to tell you, I am to be married. Hubert forgave me.

Not Really Unhappy. Dear Little Unhappy:

I a mextremely happy for you. Re­

member, dear, be faithful, loving and forgiving and your marriage cannot fall. I knew that showing him you had other admirers would make him realize the precious gift he had in your love. If ever again he wanders, use the same policy and he will return. Best wishes.

D. D. My Dear Miss Dix:

What a n awful mistake I made. In my excitement I must have been very Incoherent. It is Dannie that I am go­ing to marry. Happy.

PEERING AT PACIFIC (By the brother of the "Gentleman at

the keyhole") The old soak—Pardon me, I meant

sage of Pacific, observed this notice on the bulletin board: "Students Are As­signed as Follows to Members of the Pacific College Faculty as Their Facul­ty Advisors."

Well, now, it sure looks like we was havin' a new deal. I t took the mem­bers of the P . C. faculty a mighty long time before they'd admit that they need­ed us as their faculty advisors, but now that the die is cracked, I'll bet we can be of a lot of help to them. The main trouble with faculty advisors is, usually, that the faculty won't take their ad­vice, but, now they're going to take It and like it.

This proves to me that Pacific is right up to the minute. We hope there will be NO REFUSAL of Advice. When it comes to grades, us scatterbrains have known for a long time that "we're due our part."

This assignment kinda segregates the sexes, though, I suppose the faculty had just admitted that a woman's advise ain't worth takln' by a man, and prob­ably vlcy versey too.

Now that prohibition has been re­pealed, I suppose the faculty feels they is goin' to be needing some extra moral support. That 's the only kind any of us kin provide anyway.

If this idea works, good times are sure to come back, our grades will ba Inflated, and the faculty will become a regular brain trust;—that is, If they just take note of everything new they see on the test papers. Yes, sir, they'd sure learn a lot.

This is just a little gift 'in our sock, but we're glad they're turnin ' over a new leaf. Selah.

There is no one who knows quite so much about how a thing should be done as the fellow who doesn't know any­thing about It. The less a man knows about a matter, the more free he is with his advice.

What silly people they are who spend money they have not yet earned on things they don't need to impress peo­ple they don't like.

PACIFIC SPORTS By Debner Putnam

BASKETBALL SQUAD IN PRACTICE GAMES

SHOWS IMPROVEMENT

Pacific college may not have the best basketball team in the history of the school this year, but It will have one of the youngest. Seven out of the ten men reporting daily to Coach Emmett Gulley are freshmen. Two juniors and a senior complete the roster.

The lone senior on the squad is Carl Sandoz, now playing his fourth year for the Quakers. Eugene Coffin and Elwood Egelston are the duo of juniors. The rooks Include Jodie Eggers, Ralph Scarborough, Louie Sandoz, Herald Welch, Allen Hadley, Ned Greene and Delmer Putnam.

An entire team of rooks started the opening practice game of the season here against Linfleld college December 8. The Wildcats won 42 to 28, but the first year men showed promise of bright things for the future.

The Quakers missed shot after shot in the first period, but the Wildcats were equally eratic and the session end­ed even Stephen at 6 to 6. A couple of Henry Lever's younger stars, Brown and Harrington, regained their eyesight In the second stanza and Linfleld grab­bed an 18 to 8 lead. In the third period the Wildcats sang the bell five times for 10 points before Pacific could find the range. The Quakers rallied brilliantly in the last 15 minutes of play, but the big Linfleld lead was too large to over­come.

Brown led both teams in scoring with 14 points. Roy Helser, a teammate, garnered four field goals for eight count­ers. The Sandoz brothers paced Pacific in scoring, but Allen Hadley played a splendid floor game.

The Quakers looked pretty ragged against the Newberg Townies Tuesday night, although they swamped Joe Wil­son's brigade of hoopsters 56 to 32. Pa­cific ran the poorly conditioned Townies off their feet in a second half outburst that gave the Quakers a commanding lead. Joe Wilson and Dot Wohlgemuth starred for the losers.

Pacific played its best basketball of the season at McMinnville Thursday night, but lost to a strong Linfleld col­lege five 82 to 28. A desperate last quarter rally by the Quakers fell two baskets short of tying the score.

Coach Gulley's men missed enough cripple shots in the first half to win a dozen ball games, while Arnol Neely, Phil Brostrom and Paul Durham, the three aces of Henry Lever's smooth working combination, were potting long and short shots from all over the court.

The halt time score favored Linfleld, 18 to 9, and the Wildcats increased the lead to 28-14 as the third session col­lapsed. Durham and Neely did not play in the second half. However, In the final heat the Blue and Gold staged one of their now famous last minute do or die rallies and almost closed the gap before the game ended.

The Quakers showed a decided im­provement in their defensive play and ball handling against Linfleld, but how those boys did manage to elude the bas­ket! Coach Gulley believes that this deficiency can be remedied by more practice.

Be loyal to your school and buy "Pa­cific College" stickers. I t pays to ad­vertise.

PACIFIC WOMEN LOSE OPENING VOLLEY BALL

GAM ETO REED 42-23

The P. C. volley ball team lost its opening volley ball game to Reed 42-23 in a contest full of pep and spunk, on the Pacific floor, Thursday afternoon, Dec. 14.

The women, during the first half, used the soft Reed volley ball, to which was I attributed a score of 22-12 favoring Reed at, the half. During that first half the P. C. girls did not seem to have any too much life and seemed to believe they couldn't play with the soft ball.

The hard ball was used during the second half and their spirits showed a decided improvement, although Reed scored 20 points to Pacific's 11.

The P. C. team, having had a couple of weeks of hard practice with some very good competition, has improved many per cent over what it was two weeks ago, and will undoubtedly show the Reed women a much better strug­gle when they meet again.

The players on the team are: Garnet Guild, Elizabeth Aebischer, Isabella Wil­son, Marguerite Nordyke, Rachel Pem-berton, Jean Gardiner, "Violet Braith-waite, and Pearl Kivett. The substi­tutes are: Helen Leonard, Marjorie Lew­is, and Eva Hart.

THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS

You've all had your Christmas stories Of sox hung by the chimney with

care; But in these sad days of depression

Just how are you going to fare?

We're at school, away from our papas And our checks' now come few and

slow; Though we pinch and we scrape for

every dime, The money still seems to go.

Now, aunty, she needs a new tooth­brush;

Bernard would like a toy drum; And Joe would be tickled to death with

a pen; But where will the money come from?

Should we write a line to the president? There are thousands, they say, that

he feeds, And 'twould take but five dollars or so

To cover my Christmas needs.

I tell you my mind is a quandry; 1 can't eat; I'm all upset.

Last year I had faith in old Santa, But this year they say he's all wet.

—R. Wilde.

PLAY GIVEN AT TREFIAN MEET

The new members had charge of the Treflan Literary Society Wednesday, December 13. As was fitting for the last meeting before vacation, the theme carried out was "Christmas."

The first number on the program was a vocal solo, "Star of the East," by Helen Lou Povenmire. The next num­ber was a short one act play taken from part of "The Byrds Christmas Dinner." Mrs. Riggles, portrayed by Dorene Lar­imer, was giving her ten children, who had been invited over to the Birds for Christmas dinner, some lessons in man­ners, until, as one of them declared that they were so full of manners they wouldn't be able to eat any dinner.

Following the play, Rachel Pember-ton played a piano solo, "The Silent Night," and Mary Collver read a Christ­mas story, "Mary Lou Decides." The lust-number on the program was two poems read by Mary Brooks.

DORMITORY SQUEAK | /

Don't tell the dormites "there ain't no Santa Claus!" As formerly, we are planning to have a Christmas tree in the parlor and decorating it with pop­corn, ornaments, etc. The freshmen are the victims for the job of Christmas tree getting and as Allen is "the boy," it looks as though he is elected. We are also looking forward to the Dig Christmas dinner we are going to have on Monday evening, and maybe we will get little gingerbread men again as we did last year.

We celebrated the twins' birthday Wednesday night—meaning Audrey and Lera. We had loads to eat and also cracked loads of jokes during the meal. Did "Mamma Carter" approve? Also, why did "Pappa Coffin" set such a per­fectly good example? Afterwards we played games, ate popcorn, and had a good time in the parlor until time to leave.

We also have a new boarder now; Ruth Wilde whom we are very glad to welcome and hope she will enjoy belonging to the big family.

We are going to be scattered far and wide during the Christmas vacation. Miss Gould and Lera are going in the direction of Seattle; Ruth Wilde to Van­couver; Rachel to Salem; Audrey to Linnton; and Allen, Gene, Mary Brooks, Mary Collver and Violet to Portland. Miss Carter is the honored one, having so many invitations she does not know which to accept. She has been invited to five homes in Portland but, she only laughs at the suggestion.

Well, Merry Xmas, everyone, and Happy New Year

"Visitor (speaking of the little boy): "He has his mother's eyes."

sium. During the course of the evening the

step-seats, the border of the gym floor, the outer room of the girls' dressing room and the men's dressing room were swept and mopped, the clothes closet in the equipment room was finished, and several other repair jobs were done.

The neophites were then lined up and two rounds *of spats were given each.

Raw meat in long strips (commonly known as rattlesnakes) was then cooked, more or less, on the ends of sticks, after which buns and chocolate were served, to be eaten while the teeth were sharpened on the meat. A number had second helpings of meat.

Those initiated into the organization were: John Dimond, Ned Green, Herald Welch, Cal Hicks, Jodie Eggers, Paul Abner, Leonard Vincent, Allen Hadley, Kenneth Fowler, Harvey Campbell, Ben Luethe, Delmer Putnam, Louie Sandoz, and Wendell Morse.

PLANNED MISTJLE-TOE HUNT ENDS IN GAMES AND FUN

AT WOMEN'S DORMITORY

(Ruth Wilde) Although hearsay has it that the in­

habitants of Oregon are equipped with webb feet, the twenty-four students that assembled at the girls' dorm Sunday afternoon for the scheduled hike were Inclined to .think that webb feet were not quite adequate equipment for a storm of that nature and gladly stepped into the gaily decorated parlors of Can­yon Hall rather than to set forth in search of dripping evergreens and mis-tle-toe.

There were three, however—yes, three brave souls who ventures forth into the teeth of the storm, that Pacific might not suffer the humiliation of a mistle-toeless Christmas. And to these three. Garnet Guild, Elizabeth Aebisch-er and Una Hicks, we bow low in grat­itude.

But If you think that a little bit of rain dampened the spirit of the day, you are all wrong. Once the heavy door shut them away from the raging ele­ments the disappointed hikers gave no more thought to the misfortunes of the weather, but started indoor activities, with a group of high bidding Rook play­ers at one table, a crowd engaged at anagrams and checkers at another, and a band of supple young ladies in the center of the room (down on all fours) attempting to roll three little balls onto a game board.

This sort of parties may not seem very thrilling to the outsider, but the"y are lots of fun and we sincerely hope that the whispers we heard concerning another such party were not just idle plans, but will soon materialize and that those delicious refreshments will hold out till another time.

MX FIRST ROMANCE (If you want to find who wrote this,

ask your friends. They may not know either. If everyone were as observing of his own conduct as the author of this story is, what a world it would be!)

My first romance struck me like a thunder-bolt and passed off like a recu­peration from the measles. Sally's folks moved into the empty house across the street, and the second day afterward I was desperately in, love with their daughter. I got a job from them to mow their lawn, and spent most of the time in the back yard where Sally spent the same amount of time taking care of a few flowers. I don't see how I was able to land that job, for I had never mowed a lawn in my life before. Per­haps Sally did a little "electioneering" for me.

Before I knew Sally, I looked with disgust on those whom I saw courting. Whenever I saw a couple walking down the street, anger would well up within me, and I would "thank my lucky stars" that I was able to control my­self, and I knew better than to display myself in such an unsightly manner. But when she came into my life, every­thing was changed. Everything seemed to favor her and me; the birds sang for us alone, the flowers bloomed for us alone. The rest of the people were unimportant, they didn't need flowers to look at, nor birds to sing, nor stars to look at, nor beautiful paths to walk on.

Especially appealing to me were Sal­ly's beautiful blond curls. They hung around her head in a fashion suggest­ing an angel, if you can picture an angel with curls. Then her soft eyes just drew me to her, and my love for her rivalled a negro's love for water­melon.

We were very happy for a long time, in fact, we were fanatically devoted to each other. I saw where I had made a mistake about girls. They were not such bad characters after all, but very

REV. MILLER AND PROF. MACY SPEAK AT Y. M. C, A.

Professor Macy gave a talk on the "Preparation of the World for Christ's Coming" at the T. M. meeting Decem­ber 6. He gave the historic background and the trend of religious thought at the time of Christ's birth. Mankind, he said, was seeking after a new way of life,—was seeking God; and God was seeking man. Conditions are much the same in the world today, said Mr. Macy. There is the same need and the same seeking, both on the part of man and on the part of God.

REV. RARICK TELLS OF "THE USE AND MISUSE OF

POWER" IN CHAPEL TALK

Rev. Carl Miller, pastor of the New-berg Friends church, addressed the T. M. December 13 on "The Need of Je­sus in the World Today." He reviewed the financial situation, the crime situa­tion, the liquor situation, and the vast amounts spent for armaments and lux­uries, declaring the great need for Jesus and His principles in each case. He expressed the the need of Jesus at the Peace Conferences, and the need of Him to teach men to love one another in their homes as well as in their church­es and religious organizations, but first, and most of all in their hearts.

Mrs. Fury lived well up to her mar­ried name. Following one of her out­bursts her husband asked: "Helen, how was it I never discovered this trait of yours during our courtship days? How did you restrain yourself?"

"Well," replied the Mrs., "I used to go upstairs and bite pieces out of the top of the oak dresser."

Reverend Rarrick of the local M. E. i church gave a talk in chapel December I 7, called "The Use and Misuse of Pow­er." tie stated that power has always been with us, but has not always been used. Man has now seized upon, and

| handled the power of God. Electricity, I gas, etc., all represent this power. The United States has more power than any other nation in the world.

We are going through an economic, political, and character crisis. The sell­ing of influences has caused much of this. If Americans struggle against each other for power, our democracy will be overthrown.

One of the greatest tests of civiliza­tion is what the strong do to the weak.

If our intelligence is spineless, power will run wild. The transforming of pow­er will do away with human greed.

The misuse of power and science comes when people believe in science but doubt God. Rev. Rarick closed, say­ing, "He that cannot rule his soul is like a city with broken down walls. He that can rule his soul is stronger than he who conquers the city.

Acordlng to Cupid's directory in the front of Sherk's History book, the school is in a terrible mess.

If there were a hen that laid two eggs a day, all the hens would eventu­ally standardize up to that.

nice. I was ready to give advice to anyone, for I knew all about it.

After a long time, I noticed one day that Sally didn't look like she used to. She had a few more freckles on her nose, and she had big ears. I tried to make myself believe that I was just dreaming, for she was surely the same as she was before. After a while her voice grew rather cold and snappy. Of course her voice didn't change, but it seemed so to me. It was just different. Why didn't I notice it before? I didn't know, and I didn't try to explain It. The more I thought about it the more it troubled me, so I though about it less and it troubled me less. Of course I still walked to school with her, for she always waited for me, but I failed to bring her flowers any more. I didn't notice it and neither did she. She was evidently going through the seme de­velopment I was, and each of us cared less each day. If she dropped a book, she picked it up—and expected to.

She actually got on my nerves once in a while. She walked more like an old cow than a human being, saunter­ing along. I would walk around the block to keep from meeting her. Her nose was now turned up and peaked. Her beautiful blond curls were actually mixed with brown, and they were al­most straight. One time I gave her a saucy reply and she refused to speak to me for a long time, and then only on business.

All this time I cared less and less for girls, actually realizing that they were fickle and no good. I realized it was no use to pay any attention to them, for one never gets anywhere. Of course I knew I was right, for hadn't I had experience with them? Yes, I knew all about it, and didn't hesitate to give advice to any other young man Who I thought might be embarking up­on such a dangerous and useless jour­ney.
