The embarrass ment or awkward silence prevail- ing upon an encounter of another of either superior or inferior rank might be avoided if men and women practiced the simple laws of politeness. Culture is not, as so many seem to think, a gift miraculously be stowed upon some, while others are left to flounder hopelessly un able to meet situations. It is a habit which can only be built up through persistent practice and un ceasing thought fulness. It's value can not be overesti mated. In business it is the foun dation upon which success must be built; in society the medium through friends are won and re tained. In brief, it is the essence of an attractive personality. Do you feel that people do not like you, that often you avoid you and choose another's company? Look for your answer in this question— are you cross, rude, unsympathetic; do you at times cause people to feel ill at ease because you yourself are at outs with the world in general? Or even worscj, aro there those whom you deliberately snow be cause you do not wish to be both ered or feel that they do not mat ter much anyway? It is the sun light. not the thunder that entices the flower to open its petals and show its beauty. Do you wonder why you do not make a success in business and are not popular with your associates— why another gets all the invitations to parties or places that you covet. While courtesy is a mark of re finement, rudeness is as surely a sign of ill breeding. If you crave success, wealth, and happiness, seek not the aid of Pseudo Psychologists —be courteous! M. E. J. REPLY TO FOOTNOTES It seems that the autffor of footnotes desires a discussion of tlie ideas which were brought out in his or her last article. The author of this article seems to think that the students of Guilford College have lost all standards of appro priate ap]tea ranee. I disagree with the author on this. I think the dress and appearance of the students as a whole is as good or better than it has ever been before, and I might say I have been around, well, for a few years any way. The author speaks of the man who attends classes with his shirt un buttoned, and man who wears suspen ders. and t hi' man who wears a sweater in the dining room to the evening meal. Then he or she said "How about the girl who appears at a semi-formal occa sion in a velvet dress chewing gum at top speed, or the girl who didn't have quite enough material for her dress. Has the author visited other cam puses V 1 wonder does the author know that the prevalent dress among the undergraduates of most colleges not only in this state but in others is the sweater and unbuttoned shirt collar for class attendance. About wearing sus penders. 1 assure the author that it is much more comfortable to wear suspen ders tliiiii a belt for the purpose they are used, and I'm speaking from ex perience too. Did the author ever notice that sag gins; appearing of trousers due to not wearing suspenders to hold them in place? I agree with the author in say ing that the men should wear their coats and not their sweaters to the eve ning meal. I think however, if the author will glance around the dining room at the evening meal lie or she will And very few sweaters, most of these are worn by freshmen who have not become sufficiently acclimated to the college atmosphere and of course we have a few people on every campus who wish to be different whether they be right or wrong. Personally, I think a man should not be allowed in the dining room for the evening meal if he has on a sweater, unless lie be a visiting athlete. I might say here, how ever, that I think the practice of wear ing a sweater to the evening meal is no more than members of the faculty coming in late to the morning meal, than comfortable placing their elbows on the table, holding the morning paper loosely in their hands while they care fully scan its contents, and their tablo waiter stands by courteously or other wise, and loses that extra fifteen min utes he was planning to study before class. As to what the author said abort the girl of the velvet dress and the chew ing gum it the semi-formal occasion, and the girl who didn't have enough material for her skirt, I think tne au thor was day-dreaming of high school days, or at least he or she was thinking of a visit he may have made to a high school. I'm quite sure it is not very often that such a costume is seen around Guilford College among the girls. 1 must say, however, 1 think the author should be congratulated 011 the modest way in which he or she speaks of short dresses. Does the author have another word to say 011 the subject. I would be glad to read it. ALUMNUS HONORED The following is an editorial taken from the Richmond (Va.) News. J. Hoge Ricks graduated at Guilford in the class of 1905). Re-elected—As He Should Be Unanimous re-election of Judge J. Hoge Ricks to the juvenile and domestic relations court ought to be a final an swer to those who have contended that the Democratic party intended to pro scribe those who left it in 1928 and sub sequently returned. Judge Ricks voted for Iloover—voted for him without con cealment as a matter of conscience, within thirteen months of the time when he would come up for re-election. One of the most popular of former council men, a man with many friends in the body that elects the judge of the juve THE GUILFORDIAN Nile couit, was generally regarded as a candidate against Judge Ricks, who did nothing to solicit support. Yet a hur ried, last-minute canvass by some of Ricks' admirers resulted last night in his re-election without a single vote in opposition. The fact that Ricks had been for Hoover was not even men tioned in council. The war of 1928 is over—"for good." Every Democrat who voted for Hoover and returned to the party has his old standing restored in every way. Of course, it is not only fair to add that Judge Ricks' pre-eminent qualifica tions for the place and his long service in the juvenile court would have made his rejection by the council a public 1 outrage, regardles of all political expe diency. Richmond has never had a man who gave himself to his work with more sincere devotion. The juvenile court is to IToge Ricks all that the ministry of the gospel is to any man. His life has been given to it. His whole thought is for it. How he endures the constant strain upon his emotions and his sympathy, and how he keeps his poise in the presence of so much human misery, only ho knows. But through the years he keeps at it, un wearied in his patience, unflagging in his faith, one of Richmond's most high minded benefactors! T "I AM THE WEATHER" I aui the type of individual tliat is sometimes known as "moody." I am commonly known as the Weather. My temperature changes to suit each cli mate and season. In the Southland people always think of me as having a sunny and pleasant disposition. You know how tired folks get of liv ing up to their reputation. Well, the other day I decided to give my South ern friends a surprise. I called a meet ing of all who are directly connected with me, and we had quite a lively dis cussion deciding what to do. Finally all was settled, and everyone gleefully set to work. That very day the Wind began to blow; the people buttoned up their coats and scurried to the nearest shel ter. Night settled down, and hid the world. Sleet spread its icy lingers over everything within its reach. When grey Morning arrived, the people opened their eyes with amazement. You should have heard their exclamations! It was great fun to watch them picking their steps carefully over the ice—it was still funnier to see their disgust as their feet slid from under them and they sat down on the ground. After I decided that I had tormented everyone enough, the Sun got busy and melted the ice. Smiles returned to gloomy faces. The Southland was happy again. | \ i Greensboro, N.

T. HALEY ADDRESSES BUSINESS CLUB WED. Discusses Value of Life Insurance Recommending Sales Service for Financial Returns. SUBJECT "YOU AND YOUR FUTURE" A. T. Ilaley, manager of the sales promotion department, of the Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company in Greensboro, addressed the Economies Club Wednesday evening at its regular meeting in the Zatasian ball. His talk was accompanied by a pic ture, "You and Your Future," illus trating the value of insurance. "Sales service brings the best finan cial returns." This applies to a well trained salesman. To be such demands a thorough knowledge of the following subjects: principles of life insurance, economics, sociology, principles of spell ing. finance, commercial law, and En glish. Success in the business world is mea sured by material gains such as money; and by achievement gains life is like the suspension bridge connecting Cam den, X. J., and Philadelphia, I'a. The Economies club was organized October 30, at which time Mr. B. B. Binson, executive vice-president of the Greensboro Bank and Trust talked on banking and stock market. The olficers are: president, Horace Began: vice-president, Ilarry Denny; secretary, Mary Alice Futrelle; treas urer, Esther Linley; marshall, Balto Earlow; chairman, program committee, Harry Denny; chairmen entertainment committee.

The club meets the second and fourth Wednesday nights of each month at which time speakers of large business firms are present. After the address refreshments are served (which are always conducive to large attendance).
