THE SAL&MIT.E
THREE
□Cfl
Have
The ‘
Cabinet, wishing to
liave a room wliich all the girls on
the campus may enjoy, have pre
pared this room. They have done
all the work of painting chairs and
bookcases, making draperies and pil
lows with the result that, with its
varied color scheme, it is one of the
most attractive places on the cam
pus. The dark-brown-wicker furni
ture forms a pleasing contrast with
the blue and yellow chairs. A blue
desk lighted by lamps in the same
color invites you to come here to
write your lettei-s. Easy chairs and
a window seat piled high with pil
lows suggest that you pause here
with your book or to chat with
friends. Salem girls are not only
invited but urged to use this oosj'
room anytime they wish.
Most of the work has already
been done but the Cabinet hopes to
establish a small library. There
are some appalling gaps in
bookcase, so girls having books
which they have already read and
enjoyed, may give much pleasure to
others by contributing these to the
“Y” room. The cabinet will greatly
appreciate books, old, and new.
TIME AND I
“Earth rolls onward into day,’
and when the shadows fold us ii
again at evening time this day will
have slipped away forever
the past. Each hour is given
to live but once. I can buy with it
what I choose. Minutes can trickle
through ray fingers carelessly,
used, and be lost; or I can trade
them for cheap, shoddy things
I can pay them out carefully,
bv one, for clean living, right
thinking, beautiful joys, unselfish
sharing of my best with those along
the everyday way, work that counts.
This day is entrusted to me but
once. Shall I spend my portion of
time carefully, or waste it, or lose
it through careless fingers? What
can I buy with it that will be most
lasting and worth the price of life

PUPPETEERS PRESENT
UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT

with a colorful Chinese fantasy.
After the performance the audi
ence was invited to go behind the
scenes to observe the way in which
the puppets were manipulated.
These puppets did not lose their
charm when viewed from a mechani
cal standpoint—for to the observer
they still remained almost
“people.”

The clubs select the subject they
wish for the year. There have
been many, among which the i
successful have been: Home
nisliing, Clothes, and Family
Feeding. Each year there i:
county wide program, as the Bread
Program. There are, also, county
wide contests, the Garden contest
being an example. In this contest
the students were given a chance to
learn the various selections of vege
tables. Forsyth county won first
place in the district, this year,
second place in the state, last y
The Yard Improvement contest
proved very interesting and suc
cessful, also. It lasted a year and
a half, and $100 was given as first
prize. There was also a Kitchen
Improvement contest.
The Forsyth Club has an en
campment yearly on the Yadkin riv
er. Representatives are chosen
from this camp, and are sent to
represent the club at Raleigh, where
they are given special training.
After this interesting speech the
meeting adjourned.
On the Ark
Noah (in cabin)—“Water, water,
not a thing in sight but water. I
think I’m going mad.”
Mrs. Noah (entering from aviary)
—‘Oh, there you are, dear. The
dove just brought in a postcard for
youf
Noah—“Great. We’re in touch
with the outside world at last. What
does it say?”
Mrs. Noah—“It’s from your
Cousin Fanny and she just writes:
'To Big Boy Noah—Oceans of
love.’ ” (They had dove for din
ner.)—Kansas City Times.

good substitute for work when
creation is needed, it is the wrong
kind of a substitute for a college
student to adopt. Girls who have
been doing strenuous mental labor
all day need to do strenuous physi
cal labor if they really wish to get
something really worth while from
their rest periods. Leave mental
recreation for the man or woman
who has some manual labor all day.
We are really wasting time when we
are playing bridge. We gain noth
ing from it. In the time spent
playing bridge we could read really
worth while books, or do something
by which we could better
selves and really get something
worth while. If bridge playing were
allowed it would soon mean the
formation of a new club on a cam
pus where clubs and societies abound.
The parents of many of the Salem
College students object to their
daughters playing cards of any
kind, and rejoice in the fact that
bridge playing is prohibited’
Salem. They would more than
likely be very disappointed should
they learn that the law against
bridge playing had been repealed.
It would be against their moral
standards.

teacher, sat at a long table in the
center of the room. Cam Boren,
president of the class and toast-
mistress of the occasion, presided.
Toasts and songs to the trustees
formed a great part of the program
A list of suggested improvements,
which had been made by the stud
ents and faculty for the betterment
of the college, was read.
At the alumnae meeting, held
the library at 8 o’clock, a varied
and interesting program was given.
The Bethania chapter of the associ
ation presented to the library a por-
of Miss Emma Lehman, who
for many years was a teacher
Salem. The senior class gave
unique stunt showing an insight ir
the life of a Salem girl of the past
and present. Mr. Vardell gave
interesting and appropriate account
of Dean Shirley and his relations
with MacDowell, the famous com-
One of the most interesting parts
of the program and one which was
especially suited to “Salem Day”
the talk by Miss Sally Vogler
“Reminiscences of Old Salem.”
This was a delightful interpretation
of Salem “before the war.” After
the meeting a social hour was en
joyed and delicious refreshments
were served by members of the
alumnae.

Eliot made $200,000 from “Adam

best seller within recent years has

Present-day novelists, however,
usually have cinema payments to
add to their book royalties, and their
cinema totals sometimes exceed those
from the sale of their books.—

GRISCHA
By Arnold Zweig
This remarkably book has been
called "a document in humanism,”
and indeed it is; but it is not that
alone. It is touching, pathetic and
exceeding interesting. Besides .its
human interest element, it is im-
jmensely informative. It is concerned
with the decade that the horrible
year of 1917 dominates. The War
is not its main topic, but the life
of the peasants which thg war af
fected. It paints Germany reorg
anizing a new empire and Russia
beginning her transition period,
is an interpretation, of all the
changes ip thought and mode that
the War began. In spite of all these
important subjects the chief inter"
est of the story centers about ai
tremely likeable Russian peasant,
"rischa. He was not unusual o
iptional for he was drawn to typify
the Russian peasant. He was big,
bluff and blonde and a real fight
ing soldier. His morals were
better than his fellow-soldiers and
vorse. He had the good heart
simple man full of inexpressi
ble searching for ideals. His per
sonality was forceful and magnetic
in spite of his inferiorities in :
gard to breeding and knowledge.
It is especially interesting to get
a German aspect of the War,
pecially at a time when so many
Americans are also writing about it.
Yet there is no propaganda in
book. Zweig is no preacher and
events and rights of nations concern
him only so far as they alfect his
characterization. His style
nothing remarkable about it except
its sympathetic, natural tone.
SHAKESPEARE, BOOKS
AND FINANCE
Since the price list of beauty has
been posted in Main Hall we have
stepped into the realms of High Fi
nance. King Canopener, who is an
expert at handling dime bants is
ruler here and he is surely seeing
some busy days. If we were
so optimistic about the results of
the investment we just couldn’t
stand it at all.
It wouldn’t be so very bad if the
new books hadn’t already drained
our pocketbooks. Paying for these
was a dreadful dose with the ex
ception of the textbook for Educa
tion 4. Yet most of the instructors
didn’t make as pretty, ' apologetic
ipeeches as one teacher did. We
know exactly who is going to ad-
ninister our next dose of castor oil
The Fecnancial bug, having a
ipecial grudge, bit the Juniors most
heavily. They won’t even be al
lowed to put the proceeds of their
ticket sale on their jewelry bill.
And as for us, just this week we
to develop a special attraction
for the fifteen-cent kind of sand
wich. We’ve got to pawn our stamp
collection.
Jumping from the pocketbook into
, P. M. (it’s an Olympic stunt),
;’ve gone into research work and
3 are expecting to unearth the
musical score to many operas writ
ten by William Shakespeare. From
the definition of amateur we thought
might be included in the list
along side o’ Bill but all our aspira-
are gone since we got tangled
n the hexachords and sol-fas.
We could hardly wade around in the
Latin, so we decided to let Willie
keep his exclusive rights. We might
learn to play as Bianca did but we
don’t know where to find such
teachers. Any applicants.^

machine and thoroughly wash and
comb Fluffy.

Gems From Doctor Johnsing
On this occasion Goldsmith, Bos
well, and Doctor Johnsing were
making merry in a hay field.
Boswell—Sir, how does a horse
take his hay?
Goldsmith—Sir, a la cart. You
might know that.
Doctor Johnsing—Why, sir
don’t know as to that. Some horses
like it a la mowed.
—Louisville Courier-Jonrnal.
Author of the Clamor
' “We had a skeer last Friday
night,” related the proprietor of
the Tote Fair store at TumlinvUle.
“Some kind of a varmint went ran
bling around town, screaming like
panther."
“Yep!” returned Gap Johnson of
Rumpus Ridge. “My least boy,
Rowdy, was in town visiting his
gran’maw, and told me he slipped
out and had a whole lot of fun, a-
hollering, and ripping around.”
—Kansas City Star.
Gems From Doctor Johnsing
The great lexographer could ad
mire a comedy wench. One such
being observed in a public place,
Goldsmith declared that she looked
soulful.
Goldsmith—Sir, would you not
like to hear her speak?
Doctor Johnsing—Why sir,
would not risk it. I tried that
with a soulful appearing lass and
she called me an old tub of tripe.
