Say what you may, every single one of us gets a great deal of satisfaction out of sayingl the above speech, no matter where we are, to whom we are speaking, or how often we say it. It may not be an established psychological fact that the average person exults in having a bad cold, but from personal ex])cricnce I dare to state the follow ing: 99 ll-lOO percent of the people of my acquaintance develop slight cases of superiority complexes wher tlicy have bad colds. As peoph everywhere are generally alike, I fed' safe in stating that people everywhere develop superiority com plexes when they have slight touches of the “flu” germ. The reason is not generally known; in fact, it may be traced back to the same reason that women have always liked to fierce cavemen—the Original Hu man Nature. But w’hatever the rea son, source, origin, or development of this theory may be, without doubt the real condition exists that all of us really enjoy ourseb our very innermost minds wh love bad colds. . When I am in the midst of a bad cold, I feel that I, myself, have real ly and truly aceomplis;lied some thing, therefore, as a reward, I like to be petted and made much of. In truth, I have accomplished some thing—I have safely and successful- Iv come through various hopes ol violent continuous sneezings (I nevei sneeze less than seven times in suc cession,) of watery, teary, overflow ing eyes, of kindred sniffles, and of the “dribble, dribble” antics of a basketball nose. As an end of my attainments, I have achieved a Bad Cold, which is more than five- sixths of the rest of suffering hu manity have accomplished. No won der I feel superior—I have accom plished a bad cold- I have the right to groan and bemoan over any trifle of daily life, for I have a Bad Cold, and people-With-Bad-Cold! apart from others. I can go to sleep or lie down when I get ready so witliout liaving my room-mate or somebody else think that I am lazy. I can get my lessons only Ivalfway and can give the excuse to myself' and to others that “I had a bad cold.” I cannot walk fast, or take any kind of iihysical exercise when I h'avc a bad cold. When other people are philoso- giving my own opinion, I can easily sit silent, and they will easily dcrstand (or think they do) that I liate to bore them with talking tl,rough my nose. If I fc^ ‘ of speaking, I can gain their at tention immediately by giving my opinion thusly; “I hab often thoughd thab I—,” etc. I am a person-set- apart. I am not avoided like a per son set apart with the mumps or measles would be. I am just gener ally recognized as the person-with- the'-bad-cold, and excused from un pleasant duties for that very reason. The whole world seems different to the person afflicted with a cold. Nothing seems to affect me as it did before I obtained the cold. The whole atmosphere is changed and the surroundings seem different. It is a bright, sunshiny world in. which I can loll and pl’ay, and, in which nothing on earth just must be done because I have a bad cold. After enumerating the above list of the advantages of having a bad cold, I have become convinced in my own mind that this disease or m'alady, whichever it m;ty be, should not be known as a Bad Cold, Bad does not seem the correct term to apply to an affliction so enjoyable, so relieving as this is. The adjecti “good” would more nearly suit tl malady, any way in the subcon scious mind. Therefore, you have a bad cold you may call it a bad cold to the outer world, but in your innermost mind, see if you will not be thinking: “Yeb, I iiab a good cold—oh, I feel alb right, thang you.”—Sarah Gravi At The Theatres AT THE CAROUNA I think we very hard ti re all going to have e deciding just what ext week, there are many excellent ones Strange religious and mystic wor ship have always held a great fas cination for the general public. This is one of the several reasons that “The Green Goddess,” a startling melodrama of the stage and now made into a Vitaphone picture by George Arliss, is so popular. George Arliss will hold you breathless as he portrays the suave Eastern Potentate cloaked with the ■eneer of civilization, the monarch and despot in his mountain kingd( tlie ruthless fana:tic who has three people doomed to death to satisfy his vengance. ‘The Green Goddess,” was given four stars in Liberty magazine, and the acting of Arliss, the very best. Alice Joyce, H. B. Warner and Ralph Forbes .support George Ar liss. Carolina Mon., Tues., Wed., 2-1. 2.5, and 26. “Montana Moon’ starring' Joan Crawford, John Mack Brown, “Ukelele Ike” Edwards and Ricardo Cortez, will be the feature at the Carolina the last half of next week. We have no pre-view of this picture. THE COLONIAL Ted Lewis, will be seen and heard in his first vitaphone picture at the Colonial the first half of next week. In this picture Ted is an immi grant boy whose father was once the leader of the great symphony orchestra of Austria. The son, after striving for months to get a job violinist in one of the fine classical orchestras, finally learns to play [ophone and becomes a mem- a jazz band; his father is heartbroken. There are many day; of sorrow and tears for the boy and his mother until the father realizes that this is a new generation and that he cannot cling to his World ideas. MISSIONS IN AFRICA SUBJECT AT VESPERS (Continued From Page One.) China its first glimpse into the mod- jrn world. The missionaries brought schools, hospitals and medicine, and gave to women freedom from age long slavery. They centered their work on waifs and strays and helped them to foster a belief in them selves. Numerous forces were at work against Christianity. Chief among them was Communism. The Communist seeks an ideal kingdom established through hatred and force. The Christian, on the other hand, seeks an ideal kingdom through love. In spite of numerous attempts to destroy the Christians, anti- Christians are always unsuccessful in the end. Tried in the fires of ]3crseeution the missionari China have refused to recant and have dared to testify. Japan has risen through her own efforts from the inferior position which most of the Eastern countries hold. Since she conquered Russia in the War of 1904 and ’05 her old docility has not returned. Japan is materially minded. She has ad vanced in power but lagged in spirit. At first Christianity was received with eagerness. Soon, a reaction set in and it fell under suspicion. Only recently have the people of Japan realized its unique social signifl- The Christianizing of Japan e of the greatest challenges be fore the world for, as Japan goes, goes the East. The eyes of the people of the Orient are on tl country. For their own direction is imperative that Japan, before the world, should face Christ. COLLEGE GIRLS VS. CHORUS GIRLS ; was declared that chorus girls mental equals of college under graduates. Six Hunter College sen iors disagreed with this statement and arranged a meeting with a team chorus girls. The contest was held in thq lounge of the Hotel Lexington in New York with Horace Liveright, publisher and producer, acting as judge, Bellamy Partridge of Bretano’s editorial department compiled the examination. When the two teams met it was found that the chorus girls were all college graduates and that it really w battle between undergrads alumnae. At the end of the contest the averages were 84 to 54 in favor of the undergraduates. There was much debate and scratching of heads over the follow ing questions: Q.—^What composer wrote a se- 5s of operas based on famous leg ends? A. Wagner. Q.—Who was the first Chief Jus tice of the United States? A. John Jay. Q.—Wliat monarch was responsi ble for the Protestants reformation in Great Britain? A. Henry VIII. Q.—Who is now Prime Minister of France ? A. Andre Tardieu. Q.—Who was the first President of the Soviet Republic? A. Sverd- lov. .—Who was Plato’s most famous pupil ? A. Aristotle. Q,—Who was known as “the faultless painter”? A. Andrea del Sarto. Q.—Who wrote the poem “To a Skylark” which begins “Hail to thee, blithe spirit”? A. Shelley. Ted’s band (I am all heard this band o ;r the radio) accompanies nim in the picture. Alice Day, Ann Pennington, I.aw- rence Grant, Julia Swayne Gordon, Otto Hoffman, Purnell B. Pratt are in the supporting cast. Colonial Mon., Tues., Wed., 24, 25, 26. “The Case of Scrgant Grischa,” is the feature for the last half, of next week at the Colonial. This is quite a famous picture and is con sidered one of the! best pictures for this year. Grischa’s escape from the prison camp, his romance with Babka, played by Betty Compson, his re capture, and sentence to death, the dramatic argument between the two generals over his fate and his ama zing decision at the climatic mom ent, are powerful episodes in this drama. Chester Morris plays the part of Grischa and gives the outstanding performance of his career. Colonial Thurs., Fri., Sat. STATE’S EDUCATORS BEGIN ANNUAL MEET (Continued From Page One.)
