LESSON FOR PRIVILEGED AMERI CAN YOUTH. ■ FLORIDA STUDENTS CONDEMN LYNCHING. Tallahassee, Fla., March 1.—The stu dent body of Florida State College for Wo men has entered the fight against lyi.ehing in this State by adopting and sending to Governor Martin a resolution protesting against “such violations of law ard jus tice,” and pledging hearty support to the Governor and other officials i i the e.Tort to rid the State of this crir:?..

E. Fortune. This year has witnessed a very large increase of interest on our campus in the Philosophy Club. This club, founded by the class of ’23, with Dr. F. J. Anderson, founder, has had very pleasing results, and promises more than it has already accomplished. The club is reaching out to embrace all students who are regarded as thinkers or those who are anxious to find the great criterion of truth. At the last meeting of the club, which was had on Tuesday evening, March 9, an interesting discu=sion was had on the sub ject, “Matlrusal , Theory of Population.” Mr. D. A. Costner led the discussion, after which the members joined in the discus sion. At all of our meetings we always have very lively discussions and the information gathered from them can hardly be forgot ten. The club may well be described as an organization of students who have an open minded, eager interest in the pro gress of our civilization. It tends to make education a living experience in one’s life. It tends to cultivate the critically con structive, inquiring mind in the soil of intellectual honesty. The next meeting of the club is to be had on April 13. Our subject will be “The Philosophy of Epicurus.” Messrs. J. J. Spearman and S. C. John son are to lead in this discussion. Thomas E. has lost his girl ..d does not know where to find her; If be’ll leave her alone, she’ll come home With a backbiter trailing behind her. Marks of ’lessors all remind us, We cani’t make a ninety-nine; And in June leave behind us Good marks on the Registrar’s mind. “Life^ls just one darn bump after an other,” said the tourist on a South Caro lina highway. Old Gen.: Young fellow, why do you scratch yourself so much ? Young fellow: Because nobody else knows where I itch. Question: How much do these ten cent pencils cost? Answer: Only a dime, my boy, only a dime. Barber (To Soph, in chair): Want a hair cut ? Soph.: No, I want ’em all cut. B.B.: That soup must be mighty good. Red: It is. B. B.:I thought so; it certainly sounds good. I’ve seen a ship without a rudder And a ship without a sail, But the damdest thing I ever seen W^as a shirt without a ...collar button. B. B.: Red, I’d like'^fo sell you this sax- aphone. Red: I’d like to buy that saxaphone, B. B., but there are fourteen reasons why i can’t buy it. First, I haven’t any money. Sec ond— B. B.: That’s all right, you needrJL tell me the other thirteen reasons. Van: What’s the difference between a vis ion and a sight? Jack: If you should dream of a pretty girl with blue eyes, soft, smooth skin, and long superfluous hair, that would be a vision. But if you’d dream of a guy like yourself, with big feet, bow legs, a nappy chin and a bumpy face that would be a sight. You Don’t Say! There was a man from Perth Who was born on the day of his birth. He was married they say on his wife’s birthday, And died on his last day on earth. Hehiic • Oh! This is Carolyn’s birthday!

Quartet from “Nocturno.” One time there sat a Thomas cat A v/ailing on a wall; ’Till morning light, the patient night Resounded with his call. A wily owl with a solemn scowl Betook him to a limb; The wisdom bird, the zephyrs stirred With his nocturnal hymn. A neighboring bog concealed a frog Whose Christian name was bull; With easy grace and ample bass He filled the darkness full. A whippoorwill’s mellific trills The triple echo met; The woodland rang, as gaily sang The jubilant quartet. A rooster’s chime supplied the time A glow-worm held the light; A bedbug held the audience Attentive through the night. Lost: A perfectly good mind. Finder please return to owner, Mr. D. P. Allen, as he is very much in need of it. Restricting himself to only two or three hours’ sleep each night in order to attain his ambition for a graduate degree in Amer ican scientific agriculture, Peter Dutko, a Czechoslovakian, who landed penniless in Philadelphia two years ago, r^b^ived the degree of Master of Science in Animal Hus bandry at the Pennsylvania College com mencement in June of last year. Unable to speak English, though master of five other languages when he Cvame to the United States, the thirty-year-old Czech resolved to teach himself the lan guage. He worked in the anthracite mines in Mayfield until he saved enough money to enter Penn State. He entered last fall as a graduate student, having enough cred its as a graduate of an agricultural college in Czechoslovakia. Although at first he could hardly under stand the lectures of his professors, he s' ick to his task, worked until three and four o’clock every morning over his books and finished the year an honor student.— Journal of Education.- Early in the evening at a dance held by two Boston University organizations, a College of Business Administration boy had approached Mary, a Practical Arts and Letters Girl, and Slipped a note into her bund. It read, “I’m deaf and dumb, and therefore, cannot talk, but I can dance.” She gave him that dance, and another, and an other. She wondered what he would say to her if he could speak. She reflected for a minute and decided that his silence was better than the talk of many other men she knew. Her thoughts, were interrupted. The music started up and her partner si lently suggested that they dance. When the music had ceased, she looked into his soft blue eyes and thrilled as he returned her gaze. But her ecstacy was turned to surprise when he moved his lips and she heard these words, “Hadn’t we better sit the next one out?” Mary was revived by a bottle of smelling salts. And the moral is this: A man may not be as dumb as you think he is.—Boston University News. Professor Shull of the Zoology Depart ment has made a great discovery. He has puzzled over the fact that college men and women do not marry as often as other peo ple. At last he has found the reason: “Women in general choose to marry men who are their superiors; but for college women there are no such men; hence they rarely marry. The case for men is almost the same, for men as a class choose to mar ry women who are somewhat inferior to themselves; but as college men can find no such women, they do not often marry.” And with this cryptic solution, which really kicks twice. Professor Shull leaves the problem.—The Michigan Alumnus. HEMPHTLL HEIGHTS Is going- fas!. Wc sold 20 lots in one day during the month of Jan uary and we sold 50 lots during the month of January.
