Friday, February 12, 1937. THE SALEMITE Page Three. ISew Engine for Fighting Airplane Fires I Here is a photograph of the chemical flre engine that was tested at Le Bourget airdrome, near Paris, recently, to determine its efRcacy in fighting fires of gasoline or oil. An old plane was set ablaze with a large reservoir of gasoline and the new device put it out in 30 seconds. The engine consists of a fast car fitted with a specially adapted hose which throws artificial snow and chemical froth on the flre. STOP! LOOK! AND LISTEN Thrills and heartthrobs! Davidson, Carolina, Citadel, State, was that a danee!! Who was the mysterious, little man in tails that Leila was so proud of? ... It couldn’t have been Johnson. Virginia, all the girls like to ‘ ‘ grapevine ’ ’ with Dave. Aalc *i>ni again sometime. So Mr. Sprunt tiame to Salem, we don’t blame Fran- ®®s A. for being “ga ga” about Dav idson. Prances C. and Frankie were dancing ... So what!! You must go to High Point some time. Peggy Bowen is thinking of join iig the Salvation Army to forget it ^■11, but slie fears Charlie isn’t worth the effort. Do blonds prefer blonds. Or does Cornelia just prefer johnf ®riggs likes home-town talent it seems — more power to her. Rabe O’Keeffe’s motto is: “It’s Hot right to like a boy for his money, ^ut it’s awfully easy to love a boy ^ith money. McColl, McColl and ^cColl, Incorporated, are offering to 811 aspiring Juliets three, free les sons in the art of “Effective Cadet taking.” Will Willie, or Shep’s rip pling rhythm be the attraction in Charleston!??? Did you see “Cleo” MacLean at the dance rolling those eyes? No 'vender Billy is trucking to Salem instead of Mid-Winters this week end. ... It must be loveII! Sara if Cecil didn’t go for you in that white dress. You might as well fold up the tent. Does Tweak like Buicks and d*ites, or peppermint ears, uniforms, and Bills? Our blonde venus from Lehman ^as right there with “Doo,” too! Prances Salley didn’t have to watch out for Christian Astair .... no! he was one of the belles. Who Mr. McEwen can’t cut a good figure? Who wouldn’t though with “At” struting in a sissy, white dress beside him. Did Bill Davis have a date, and if so, who was she? The uncertainty as to just whom Howard Morris will date next is keeping Junior hearts a flutterin’. ®y the way, Anna Leak, did Howard ®nd Bill ever collide at the dance? Kate tuck off for Carolina this week end on Dick’s bid — well anyway prefers blondes. Y.W.C.A. Y NEWS The Y Cabinet room on the sec ond floor of Alice Clewell is under going complete renovation. The pink walls are being turned to a beautiful cream color. The blue fur niture is being replaced and repaint ed brown to harmonize with the walls. New, flowered draperies, new cushions, and new pictures will give the room an entirely new and differ ent appearance. At present the room is in the chaotic state of being paint ed, and visiting is to be discouraged. However, in a few more days when the room is finished, everybody on the campus is urged to come up and take a peek at it. The Y Cabinet feels quite sure that it will be able to work more successfully in the bright and cheerful new surround ings. A. J. FORTIER GUEST AT CHAPEL A. J. Fortier, auditor, demonstra ted his skill in adding, multiplying and dividing figures in Chapel, Feb ruary 5. Given a column of seven or ®ight figures Mr. Fortier totaled them as soon as he saw them. After repeating this several times with different numbers he multiplied three figures by three figures without writ- *0g down any of the numbers. He forked various other problems with accuracy and speed., Mr. Fortier arrived at the point of arithmetical perfection, he says, by constant working with figures since ®arly childhood. He was the guest of Noble R. McEwen for the morning '■'hapel period. Salem College has avery definite treat in store for itself. Next week Dr. Raymond Haupert from Bethle hem Seminary wiU give aseries of lectures and talks sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet here at the col lege. Dr. Haupert’s first talk will be made in expanded chapel on Wed nesday morning. Dr. Haupert is well-known and well-loved in Winston-Salem by the young people especially, because of his contact with them at the Mo ravian Young People’s Conference which was held at Camp Hanes last summer. At present Dr. Haupert is aminis- ter and teacher at the Moravian Col lege in Bethlehem, Penn. Several years of his life, however, have been devoted to the study archaeology in Assyria. Archaeology has been and still is one of the main interests in his life. Dr. Haupert appeals so wonder fully to young people because of his point of view. He is interested in thoroughly modern and sympathetic all the things which interest young people; and, even better, he knows how to interest young people him self. Salem College is fortunate in having the opportunity to hear so fine a man. Several thousand persons in the United States wear contact spectacles —thin, invisible lenses that slip be neath the eyelids and over the eye ball. In Germany it is estimated that in sects destroy one out of every five apples, one out of every ten grains of wheat and one of every thirteen po tatoes. Almost any town can develo a trading center if its sellers have the goods for sale a tthe right price and tell the people about them.

The Trail of Truth By DOUGLAS IVIALLOCH Mankind moves onward day bj day, But some men grow impatient. They Are like the lad who runs ahead And scorns the path his elders tread. Deserts the trail the woods to try, Though there’s a road to travel by. Yet he shall presently return. Young error yet old truth shaU learn. The marks of other men remain, Their cairns erected on the plain. Here high in the shafts of honor lift, Erected on the rock of thrift. Impatient hands would change the eartn. When it is men who must have worth; And you may pass a thousand laws. Yea, even in a righteous cause. Yet statutes will not make a state While men still covet, men still hate. We need not change the law, we need Not alter anything, indeed. Except men’s hearts — and even they Need not the dawn of some new day. Need not new trails that men may miss. But men who better follow this. FOR SMART WEARABLES W| ROBIN w. WEST FOURTH ST.
