All great men not only hnoic their busi ness, but usually know that thy kn07c it, and are vot only right in their main opinions but usually hnow that they are right in them; only they do not think much of themselves on that account and they see something divine in every other man. -Ruskin.

THE SAL E M I T E Saturday, May 3, 1930. citizen of the Free State of Mary land, a mere sophomore at the Uni versity of .Maryland, to write to “Skull and Bones ” Did I go astray, perchance- Xo! Well, at the home of an alumnus I picked up and per- •sued the issue carrying the essay on red hair; and, since I noted you in vite comment to Miss Beaman’s ar ticle I set forth to add my com- Red hair- -is it not often alluded to by the words sorrel and titian.?

There is no inununity. One need only S])ot a d bead” and immediately she be- s the —the SPOT THE RED HEADS! With tlie exception of Helen of Troy, perhaps few are aware of the far reaching and perturbing power; of “red hair.” In a recent edition of this paper there was printed an English class theme on this subject, written bv Marr Alice Beaman. A week or so later Miss Beaman re ceived a .uvasterful letter from tiu> editor of “Skull and Bones,” the news weekly of The Medical Col lege of Virginia. It seems that lu- had printed Miss Beaman,s article in his paper witli the following Corn wall as tiiis coming tbrougb tbe Salemite from a student?

Bond St., Baltimore, Md. March 29, 1930. Editor of Skull and Bones, Medical College of Virginia, Richmond, Va. Dear Sir: How come I, a non-resident, a stimulus M'hicb cause.'V varied pulses of temperature, pain and pressure to sjiread thru tbe body.

Tumor for swelling; doesn’t she cause my heart to swell? Isn’t she a “swell” yoiing lady? Dolor for pain; pain wlien she is far from me; and pleasure pains 1 near me and my heart is pal pitating. Why, even the name ber ma and pa blessed upon ber is a perfect blend with the hue of her hair— RAE. Let us look at the name from a chemical point of view: R(b) Rubidum; A-Argon; E(u) Europium. Rubidium signifiies red. Argon emphasizes her tender dreami- , her languor, quite contrary to the belief that “red beads” are tem- permental; and, finally. Europium -really she is exotic, rare, and ef fulgent. You may publish this and, the other hand, you may not; but what cares he who a “red bead” has She loves me (as I gather by pluck- g petals from daisies), and I lovt •ed heads.” Yours truly, Aaron C. Sollod Miss Read’s Pupils Take Honors Two First Places and One Second Place Taken at State Contest At the annual State Music Con test lield in Greensboro tbe 24tli and 2.5th of April, three members of the string department of Salem Col lege School of Violin won honors. Albert Blumenthal, violinist, took first place in his group. Thor John son won the violin trophy, and Carl Plaster took second place in the lo contest. All of these young are pupils of Miss Read, and she is certainly to be complimented their success.

Bv some mistake Eva ('omes to Bel ford Hall, a summer school kept by Miss Carew. who is expecting a new pupil from Ireland. Eva arrives during tbe temporary absence of Miss Carew, and soon )vers her error, but agrees with two of tbe girls to stay for a day and impersonate the Irish girl.

WHY REGISTRARS GROW GREY Registrar Blair’s Annual Report for 1.929-30 was published immedi ately preceding the Easter holidays. The alarming information disclofied by this report cast a decided gloom over the entire college administra tion. Inmiediately following the jiublication of this annual report, there were joint meetings of tbe P'xecutive Board and The Advisory Board for the purpose of finding some plausible reason for the pres ent conditions. As yet, there has been no report of any definite con clusion having been reached. Tbe Rcgistar states that the num ber of over-cuts and unprivileged cuts taken due to illness has in creased extensively this year. This, according to Miss Blair, may be due to tbe change in this year’s cut sys tem wbich greatly diminishes tbe number of allowed cuts from those of preceding years. The majority of the illnesses have been too plicated to be healed by either the School Physician or the Winston- Salem Doctors, but they have neces sitated tbiit students cut classes in order to consult a doctor at home, in Chapel Hill, in Davidson or in Dur ham. This report proclaims tbe dis tressing fact that most of tbe stu dents at Salem are in a state of ill health. To verify her staten Miss Bla'ir gave the follo> statistics secured from the Head of the Infirmary: 2,370,899 gallons of castor have been taken—Sue Jane .Mai took 330 gallons. Carrie Wiggins had ingrown toe nails during mid-semester exams, missing all of them. ■5.'57 conditions have been cleared, Charlotte Grimes clearing five. 80 cases of Pyorrhea have been discovered, Elizabeth Allen being- most seriously affected. 237 instances of severe headaches prior to History 12 quizzes, Claudia Bradford having 14. 1.5 cases of mumps, Lucille Has sell’s face being greatly augmented by this disease. Cases of Insommia due to nervous strain have reached the sum total of 332, Eva Hassell Hackney and Alice McRae Caldwell have bad twentv- two attacks in all. 32 eases of deep-chested colds, I.enora Riggan has succumbed to 6 seiges during the winter. From the aliove statistics, the bealth situation may be justly called alarming. It is true, nevertheless, that since the Dean of Women has revoked the “Edict of Conva lescence,” which allowed girls to re- I their rooms during illness day’s duration, tbe number of diseases have decreased steadily. As yet, altliough it has been seriously ‘onsidered, the trustees have not de eded to turn Salem into a Sani tarium for the feeble, frail and fragile. In conclusion, it is needless to st,ate the effect of this affair on Registrar Blair. Old ways seem crude once you know the lasting comfort of Kotex YOU will never go back to old- fashioned methods once you have tried Kotex. There is really nothing like its safe, soft, la.sting jirotection. Kotex softness comes from many fdmy, thin layers of Celhicotton (not cotton) ab.sorbent wadding. This is tbe very same absorbent u.sed in 85% of our great hospitals today. It is a cellulose substance which acts as efficiently as the very softest cotton—but with five times greater absorbency. Try it. You will see, then, what a difference it makes. It is di.spos- able, you know. Kotex Company, Chicago. Illinois.
