An Englishman laughs at a joke three times. When you tell it, when you explain it and when he under stands it. A German laughs at a joke only once when you tell it. He never understands it. A Frenchman laughs at a joke twice. When you tell it and when you explain it. An American doesn’t laugh at all because he has already heard it be fore. **Sport Shorts” Volley ball practice began week before last, and there have been few er girls out for it every day since then. When only six girls went down to the Hut last Monday afternoon they were kept rather busy playing with only three on a team. It is rumored that volley ball will not be the major sport this spring. Maybe there will be baseball or soc cer to keep Salemites busy. Horseback riding began the first of this week and there are about twelve members in the class, and only three or four who are riding for credit. Students are already taking tennis racquets to class to review the strokes learned in past seasons. The tennis courts have been worked on and are ready to be used now. Swimming has not begun yet. The swimming manager is waiting for the weather report ‘ ‘ fair and warm er.” CAVALIER A RUSTYCANNA Blessings on thee, little man. In thy trusty, rusty can! Proud to own that trembling wreck A car that’s rattling good, by heck! You will leave us in a trice Shaking like a pair of dice. Beat the lights and pass each truck Race the train to try your luck. Find out what that can can do;— He’.s loose at last! Poor lad. Adieu! Now you’ve joined the restless horde, Kights errant of the running board. One of all the crowds that creep One the crowded roads like sheep Dropping from the skies like manna, Cavaliera Rustycanna. —A. B. G. FOOD FOR THOUGHT College seniors are five per cent more radical than first year men, a questionnaire survey at Washington University revealed. Co-Eds are more conservative than college men. —Syracuse Daily Orange. Dr. Nathan B. Van Etten speaking before the American Medical Asso ciation recently declared that med ical education is too narrow. That medical student’s failure to get a sound social education along with professional training is the fault of the professors. Recent moves toward peace in clude the new appropriation by the Netherlands of 54,000,000 guilders for a special national defen.se fund, and recruitment of four thousand additional men to swell the U. S. army to 165,000 WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMEN A.sk your congressman when action is going to be taken on the rerendum on war. Ask your congressman what our $000,000,000 Navy is for.

She was first vice-president of the Student Government and head of the day-student organization. At the present time, she is a member of the faculty of one of the city schools. DR. RONDTHALER SPEAKS AT Y. P. M. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) house on the sand, and it was de stroyed. In another He tells of the unfinished house, whose owner had not counted the cost of building be fore he began. Again He speaks as a skilled stone mason in “the stone that ye builders rejected.” How fitting also that Christ should have changed Simon’s name to Peter, meaning rock. Could not the story of the lost piece of silver be an actual happen ing in His or a neighbor’s hornet With an almost wistful tone He tells how the candle “gives light unto all to you again.” Christ was a laborer. The parable of the vineyard gives us a picture of laboring conditions and wages at that time. Again and again we find His inter est in outdoor life as in the story of the planting of the seeds. May not the verse: “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal,” be drawn from actual ex periences? Thus we continue through His teachings and each jjarable seems to become richer and dearer, since be side the spiritual implication it is perhaps reminiscent of the Master’s own life. that are in the house.” Jesus probably played in the mark et place with other little boys. In His teaching He referred to the chil dren at play. Another market place picture is found in the parable or lesson which concludes, “with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured New York—(ACP)—The two- pound incendiary bomb, containing thermite, will be the real peril in the next war, according to Prof. J. Enrique Zanetti of Columbia Uni- %'ersity’s chemistry department. “A .single two-ton bomber cam carry 200 of these bombs,” says Prof. Zanetti, “and if only one in 100 makes a hit, that bomber will start twenty fires within a few min utes of cach other.” Thermite is a mixture of iron ox ide and powdered aluminum or mag nesium, stable if pr'otected f»-om moist air, but reacting violently if heated to a high temperature. ONE-PIECE FROCK Hi The same liagonally ribbed black silk is used for the skirt and bloust in this one-piece frock. The top has an embroidered fleur-dc-lis patterr in white silk. The collar and cuffs are white chiffon pique.

MISS MINT REWARDS WRIGLEY CHEWERS MiniieapolijS, Minn.—(ACP) — If your chest is flat, you are probably more intelligent than that fellow over there whose bulging, barrel chest interferes with his view of his feet. At least .so says Dr. S. A. Weisman of the University of Minnesota, who has spent a lot of time peering and probing into the matter. He con cludes that flat-chested iwrsons not only average greater intelligence than the full-chested, but are taller and heavier. And that isn’t all, either. Flat chests are no evidence of tubercu losis, nor of tendencies toward it. The deep-chewed individuals have a better chance of contracting that disease. New i'ork University has provis ionally refused an invitation to at tend Heidelberg University’s anni versary celebration in June. Children who will, be unsuccessful in later life can be spotted at the age of six, says Dr. J. W. M. Roth- ney of Harvard. “Just my luck! ” “Let me get to the bookstore—” “I just took mine out of my pocket.” “Left a whole pack in my room! ” Such remarks were heard in the dining room Thursday at lunch when Miss Mint, representjfetiVe o^ tlie Wrigley Chewing Gum Co., came to give dollars to all the lucky girls who had a package of Wrigley gum with them. Miss Mint passed by several unlucky students who sat hopefully holding packs of gum. Other unhap py girls were asked and they had to admit that they h^d none. lOne .student is reported to have said that she didn’t even chew gum! Several girls won dollars. Madison, Wis.—(ACP)^—The sell- yourself system, brought to its peak by Max Baer when he sold some 200 per cent of himself to various man agers under the belief that “Per cents were like pieces of pie,” has been successfully used by Rudolph Jegart, University of Wisconsin foot ball plaj'er and sculptor, to finance a trip abroad. , Having sold all the shares avail able, Jegart left for France last week. Investors in the one-man corporation may look forward to dividends of oil paintings, water color.s, or sketch es on his return. Jegart is the originator of “Kine tic Sculpture,” using wire, wood and strink as principal materials. His “The Lynching,” in this medium won wide acclaim last fall, and ho has won various prizes in other art forms.

C., Dr. Mary Martin Sloop liad a.sked for clothes to outfit, a young mountain girl for college. But when the clotlies arrived, Dr. Sloop found that they were black! They proved to he the financial backing of the edu cation of the people at Oossnore, however, because these black clothes were sold, and l>righter ones bought for the girl who was to go away to school. The first year, Mrs. Sloop and her helpers cleared over a thous and dollars in this way. The next year, instead of one girl, sixteen, wont away to school. Now it is not necessary to send the boys and girls away to secondary school, as one of the best high schools in the state is located in Crossnore. Higher train ing is also offered i» weaving, agri culture, carpentry, and home eco nomics departments of the school. There are nearly four huudred pu pils in the schools, and seventeen out of nineteen graduates go to college. Tlie little mountain girl, the first to go away to school, returned as a trained nurse, and has done a great deal of good among the people. Now Mrs. Sloop receives clothes from nearly every state in the union, and from Canada. It is to this estab lishment that the clothes you liave given will be sent. The “Y” would like to thank the girls for their con tributions. We are sure they will be much appreciated. ForPerfect Printinq lates I Dial 9722 Piedmont Enqravinq Co. 4115 AT main ST. Dr. Robert N.
