I's goin’ into de auto 'busi ness. THE MODERN WOMAN We hear a great deal of talk to day about the modern girl. Much criticism is hurled at her because of her way of doing things, her manner of dress, the way she wears her hair and so on down the line. There are some people who are fearful of the result of modernism on our girls of today. They feel that the rapid pace that she is setting will eventually bring ruin. However we do not entertain such fears and feel that the modern young woman is able to take care of herself. We be lieve that she is stronger and far superior to her sister of an earlier day. Of course the modern girl is not perfect, neither was the “old-fashioned girl,” of the “good old days.” But we do feel that the torrent of abuse and criticism that is heaped upon the girl of today is unnecessary and unjust to her. Some people have the mistaken idea that because a girl has “bobbed hair” she must be classed as a “flapper.’ This is in deed an erroneous idea. Just be cause a girl wears her hair short is no reason that she is not as se rious, or as efficient as the girl with her hair puffed on all sides of her head and especially pulled down over her ears. With the advent of bobbed hair came the revelation to some of us that girls actually had ears. There was a time when it was considered bad for a girl to allow her ears to be in view. Perhaps some of the things we have said about the modern girl have been said^lightly, and maybe we have been unfair in our atti tude toward her critics. But with all seriousness we believe she should be defended against those who w'ould brand her as frivulous and lacking in serious thought. We believe that the modern girl of today is the hope of American womanhood. Her activities in college, in the home, in the busi ness world today will mean that women are to have privileges that have long been denied her. We do not believe that they should be allow’ed to engage in some of the activities that must be carried on by men, but she should be given her chance. Women are taking their place alongside men in business. She is dressing for the part. No one can deny that bobbed hair and short skirts increase the efficiency of, the working girl. We must al low her some freedom. Would vve have her go back to piling up switches on her head and put her tack in bustles? “SOM STU” by Som Stude First let us correct a little mistake we made in tlie column last week. The expression ‘‘pretnescent cabbage” should have been “putreslent cab- bage.” If you fail to make any mean ing out of this, why just compare the expression with the little overgrowth to which it referred. —S— We are glad to see the honor box make its debut in the North Dormitory This will give those who maintain that tlie students of Elon are fundanientally honest, a chance to prove their con tentioii. A good bit of trouble w^as experi enced with this system of selling candy at Carolina. Here is an opportunity for us to prove that Elon students are more honest than Carolina students. This system of merchandising was tried here last year, with apples, and sad to relate some persons thought more of an anple than they did of thei honor. —0— It looks like the class games are go‘- iug to be a howling success, in that the title will not be finally decided until the very last. Jt looks as if Captain-elect Braxton is getting in good sJiape for football next year. In fact we predict that if he pro'ves up as fast in his football uni form as he is on the basketball court he w'ill make good his pet contention— that he is a back field man. — It seems that tlie Phipsicli should have run a contest for the most ‘‘per fect man.” If this had been done it would not have been necessary to ad vertise for him. —STU— Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bingham, of Far- er, -\. C., spent Siuulay here. Miss Lyde Bingham, tlieir daughter accom panied them home on a few days’ visit. Messrs. Curtis Price and Howard La- tlian of Duke University, visited on the hill Thursday and, Friday. Blessed is the man that loveth little children for he never shall grew old.^ He who does no more than he is paid for will never be paid for more than he does. When a man begins to slip in his re ligious life he finds the d^line well greased for the occasion. ^ Pay yo'ur own way if you would be your own conductor. A preacher is more than a Pullman conductor—being courteous to people and getting tips. It is well to let a little sunshine out as well as in. What we owe oair children the church helps us to pay. Character is the joint product of na ture and nurture. Religion is the mother, the church the nursery, of religion. Mr. Man, your wife and children can not answer “present” fou church or heaven. you in Are yo;u lost, strayed or stolen have you safely returned i Bea,i sin .or dead to sin, which ^ God know^ The church is God's way of savin* conserving and keeping liumauitv frot moral degredation. Then go to church Faith and religion can acccnnpligi; more than any physician, in keeping, you well, bodily, mentally aiid spirit ually. The man who rests and worships on Sunday is far better quaTilied to do best w'ork on Monday. ELON CAGERS WIN TWO OUT OF THREE GAMES (Continued from Page One) Huey stood out, but at no time did the contest show anytliing like speed or skill.

Winning the West The General Electric Com pany provides for agricul ture little motors that do the farm chores and great ones that operate mammoth pumps to irrigate vast stretches of arid valleys. If you are interested in learning more about what electricity is doing, write for Reprint No. AR391 con taining a complete set of these advertisements. Irrigation by electrically driven pumps has made hundreds of thousands of acres of desert land in the Intermountain West blossom like the rose. For a few cents a month per acre, electricity—the giant worker—brings the hfe-giving water from distant lakes and rivers to rainless valleys, producing rich harvests of fruits and vegetables, cereals and forage. What electricity is doing for the farmer is only a counterpart of what it is doing for Industry, Trans portation, City and Country life or any of the profes sions. It is a tool ready for your use and which, wisely used, will make the impossible of today an accomplished fact tomorrow. How electricity does these things is important to the student in a technical school—but what electricity can do is important to every college man or woman, no matter what their life’s work may be.
