[ PARKS-BELK CO. j 3 CHEATED THROUGH STOCKINGS AT HER MID-YEAR EXAMINATION Ministerial Student Discovered a Co-El Had Answers to the Tests Written on Her Flesh. Buckhannon, W. Va.. Dee- 27 The female of he speeties may or may not be more deadly than the male, but mem bers of the faculty of West Virginia Wesleyan are convinced she’s a big sight cleverer. The faculty members found strong evidence of cheating in a mid-semester examination, but a car 't il watch failed to disclose who was doing it or how it was done. The faculty and the student body then combined in an effort to stop, dishonest practices. Evidences of trickery continued, hut uothing came of all efforts at detection until the other day when a young minis terial student made a startling dis covery. A certain girl, who was taking a test in chemistry, was wearing flesh tinted stockings of extremely thin material and it was observed that the frequentlly peered studiously at lfer trim ankles. There appeared to be remark able inspiration in those ankles, for them the girl would write energetically. Watching his chance, the inin : sterial student took a look himself. Nothing something peculiar, he peered still more close 1 y and discovered there was writing on the skin beneath thfe transparent hosiery- By drawing the fabric tight the writing became plainly legible. Whether co-eds will have to submit to inspections before examinations here after is not stated. Fine Entertainment Wednesday Night. The young people of Forest Hill Church have the reputation of putting on religious entertainments of exeep- ' tional interest, but. it is doubtful if i they have ever given a better pageant j than the one at the graded sehool audi- ( torium Wednesday night. This is the i more to their credit when it .is remem- J bered that quite a .number of those tak- ( ing part had not before attempted any- i thing of the kind. The Forest Hill J orchestra added much to the occasion. ( “I w T ant a shave,” said the determined i looking man. as he climbed into the J barber’s chair. “I don’t want a hair- , cut nor a shampoo. Neither do I want t any bay rum. witch hazel, hair tonic, hot towels or face massage. I don’t want the manicure lady to hold my hand, nor ttlie bootblack to fondle my feet. I just want a plain shave with no trim mings.
