Dear Editor:
We recently won our fourth
game with Oak Ridge. To win
over a team who had success
fully played freshman teams of
both Duke and Carolina seems
little short of a miracle. Much
praise should go to our baseball
team.
After the Mars Hill game I
expected to see the interest in
baseball falling off, but I am
glad to say that the interest is
stronger than ever.
Girls are not supposed to have
much knowledge of baseball; but
having been brought up i n a
home where baseball is one o f
the main subject for talk, I have
Requiem

guise
T ime dulls the thorn-s h a r p
pain.

N arrow delusions and dreams
that can't last.

COMMENT By Odell Salmon
Editor’s Advice
A few days ago the city edito-
of the New York Journal was in
terviewed over the “Mr. Vice-
President” pro
gram. In his
comment he said
that “a new s-
paper man must
b e worth two
dollars for every
one thathe
is paid.”
As yet we do
not know the strain of a jub by
which we must earn our daily
bread; but we all know that wfg
es and salaries are low. We
know that regardless of what the
salary may be, we must earn it,
and usually twice the value of
the check.
Money is the means to an end
in any endless world. (Original)
Love Bug
There is a current popular hit
about the love bug. But it’s a
good thing that the love bug
doesn’t leave holes when he bites-
Some people would b e riddled
with holes.

PRISONER AND WARDEN
Back some years ago a wardt'n
was selecting a new “trusty,”
and he chose a prisoner whom
the other men did not like and of
whom they were jealous because
of his decent conduct in t!ie pris
on. As the warden was telling
the other men of his choice, one
prisoner became furious and at
tempted to stab the warden; but
the trusty jumped in th« way
and was stabbed in the arm him
self. His wound was soon heal
ed, however.
The warden was ti-ansferred as
lieutenant on the Miami police
force, where he was serving at
the tirtie of the most disastrous
hurricanes that Florida has ever
witnessed.
One night during the hurricane
all the officers were in the sta
tion house, for it was too stormy
outside to attempt walking
eyen ablock. There was a knock
outside, and a bleeding man was
admitted. He was thought t o
b“ dyinp’. and the commanding
offiicer th“ victim a h a 1 f
hour to live. Hp wap put in
charge of the former warden;
and as he was cleaning his face
of blood, be recognized the man
to be the prisoner who had saved
his life. Immediately the new
lieutenant asked for permission
to take the man to a doctor; but
the officer in command told him
that thou d he leave he
would be fired for insubordina
tion on leaving the building. Yet
he carried the dying man who
had a crushed arm in the streets
where it was thought to be im
passible, for more than fifty
yards. But they finally found a
doctor, and the wounded man
was saved.
Next morning the officer took
his badge and gun to hand in,
but the commanding officer had
changed his mind. Today the
former warden is in the service
of the ‘ G men.”
a good idea of the game,
I want the team to know that
the girls are behind them.
Sincerely yours^

TCLD BY RIPLEY
No man is more famous in
America for his “supposed to be
the truth stories” than Robert
Ripley. Daily his stories appear
in newspapers and each week he
has a program on the air.
The following story is his:
In Africa there was a promi
nent dentist who did work on all
types o f men. One day a man
who had features of an animal
came into his office to have some
filling put into his teeth. The
work was done with gold.
Several days later the dentist
was hunting in the jungle when
he ran into th- steps of a man.
The steps were odd; yet they
were something to trace, so he
continued his search. Finally
the steps changed to those of an
ape or gorilla. The dentist has
tened his travel, and suddenly he
came upon a dead gorilla on the
ground. Immediately h e e x-
amined the animal; and when he
opened the mouth, he saw the
same gold which he had used for
the filling at the dentist office
that day.
Oh Yeah!
He: “What is school spirit?”
She: “You know that stuff in
the fiat bottle.” ■ ■ •
old question, “Why did yoU
come to college?” She gave the
answer that a lot of co-eds should
have given when she wrote:
“I came to be went with, but
I ain’t yet.”
Decline of Poetry
An editorial writer lists in his
current publication the leasons
he holls for th8 decline in the
reading of poetry. Briefly they
are:
L Po ^try is highly-specialized
as is everything in America t o-
day.
2. Probably maladjustment be
tween poetry and the times is a
prime factor.
Appendicitis
According to statistics 18,0C0
persons in the United States will
sufftr from appendicitis during
the next twelve months.

Business Man Exercises
A recent article in a current
newsmagaz' ne lists three reasons
why business men middle-aged
or past go ‘t,b gymnasiums for
exercise. Turkish baths, squash,
etc, I quote verbatim.
L They think they’re getting
fat.
2- They've been scared into re
duction by their doctor.
^3. They’re romatically inter
ested in some girl.
Women have a different way
entirely of reducing, and we
hear about it most at meal time.
Possibly both ways are s u f-
ficient.
British Magazine
Those of you who read the
magazines in our library very
likely have noticed that there is
a foreign periodical in the group.
It is magazine published in Eng
land, and true to the old literary
motherland it carries the name,
“Tlie Spectator.,
On Women
On(i of the most fascinatingly
written articles that I have re- !
cently read is a treatise on
American women. This article,, ,
“Our Feminized United States”
by Struthers Burt in the May .is
sue of ^orum is pleasant reading
that any student here would en
joy. Some one had read the ':
magazine when I got to. it; for '
there were pencil marlcs under
lining certain sentences.
