ON HAVING A BAD COLD
“Yeb, I hab a bab cold—oli, I
feel alb rip;ht, thang you.” Truly
there are advantages in having a bad
cold. 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

Ted Lewis, will be seen and heard

In this picture Ted is an immi

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-

heartbroken. There are many day;

his mother until the father realizes
that this is a new generation and

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

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

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-

pupil ? A. Aristotle.
Q,—Who was known as “the

“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
