Here is the Wall Street Journal’s story: “I had twelve bottles of whiskey in my cellar and my wife made me empty the contents of each and ev ery one down the sink, so I proceed ed to do as my wife desired and withdrew the cork from the first bottle, poured the contents down the sink except for one glass which I drank. I then withdrew the cork from the second bottle and did like wise, with the exception of one glass which I drank. “I extracted the cork from the third bottle, emptied the good old booze down the bottle, except a glass which I devoured. Pulled the bottle from the cork of the next and drank one sink out of it, then threw the rest down the sink. “I pulled the sink out of the next cork and poured the bottle down my neck. I pulled the next bottle out of my throat and poured the cork down the sink, all but the sink, which I drank. I pulled the next cork from my throat and poured the sink down the bottle and drank the cork. “Well, I had them all emptied and steadied the house with one hand and counted the bottles, which were twenty-four, so counted them again when they came round again and had seventy-four, and as the houses came around I counted them and finally had all the houses and bottles count ed and I proceeded to wash the bot tles, but couldn’t get the brush in the bottles so I turned them inside out and wiped them all, and we went upstairs and told my other half all about what I did, and O boy! I’ve got the wifest little nice in the world.” N. C. Christian Advocate Weaver Downs Lions For Second Win, 6-0 Rymer Features Tornado De fense And Fox Is Lion Ace; Barnette Trys Arm.

On Thursday evening, April 20, the Clio Literary Society held its annual I reading contest, from which were se lected representatives for commence ment. Miss Agnes Stack, a former presi dent of the society, won first place in the contest with her reading, “Mary Magdalene.” Second place was award ed to Miss Janie Britt for her read ing, “Othello,” while Miss Virginia Ballard won third place with “The Cobra.” Miss Azaleen Kickliter, who recited “Madam Butterfly,” won fourth place, and Miss Elizabeth Shipman, “Hearts Enduring,” won fifth place. The contest .showed much work on the part of all contestants and the results proved favorable. Judges for the evening were: Mrs. George Burnett, Mrs. B. M. Fleet- wood, and Miss Gladys Johnson. For the second time this season the Whelp nine acknowledged a licking at the hands of their ancient Weaver riv als. The Weaver nine won by a wide margin, the final tally being 6-0. The Tornado defense was featured by the hurling of Rymer, who pitched his second consecutive win over the Whelps. Rymer seemed to be in good form, for he held the Mars Hill ag gregation to 3 hits and succeeded in striking out 10 men. The Mars Hill mound position was held down by Fox, versatile Lion dia- mondman, who pitched a fairly suc cessful game, being relieved in the sixth inning by Barnette, promising young chunker, who allowed 3 hits during the remainder of the game. D. Rabb, who engaged Rymer in such a heated pitching duel during the last fray, did not appear in the pitcher’s box this game; however, he saw ac tion in the left field during the first part of the game, being relieved by Briggs in the fourth inning. The Tornado grabbed an early lead in the first inning when Mitchell, who had got on base by an error, was brought home by a clean hit from Rymer, who was left on second base after a strike-out by Henson. Coach Ralph James’ men went on a scoring spree in the third inning. Britton got on base by a walk; Schachner, fleshy short-stop, followed with a sizzling clout over second base, bringing Brit ton home. Bennett then got on base by an error and also scored, bringing the count to 4-0. Bennett again tal lied in the fifth inning, smacking out a long drive to right field. Britton scored in the seventh inning for the final marker of the game. The Lion batting attack seemed to be in a slump. In the first inning Roberts banged out a hit into left field, advancing to second base, but Fox followed with a drive into the right fielder’s glove which closed the first part of the inning. Bethea got a hit in the fifth inning, but failed to score. The final scoring chance for the Whelps came in the eighth when Nettles drove a scorching liner over short-stop.

Struck SIDEWISE SLANTS AT SPORTS By BILLY WRIGHT Well, we don’t need any poet to tell us “ ’tis spring;” everywhere are the signs. We hear the crack of the base ball bat and the sweet thud of horse- hide as it plunks into the fielder’s glove. We hear the sharp “ping” of the tennis racket and behold the little white globe floating majestically over the net. Birds that go “tweet, tweet,” flowers, lovers everywhere—all these tell that the spring sport season is well underway and give omens of the summer ahead; and when we think of summer, we think of lemonade, white linen, outdoors, hot weather, and swimming. There we are—swim ming. fore the powerful Carson-Newman aggregation on the thirteenth of this month. The Mars Hill squad this year boasts an abundant crop of excellent ma terial.

Not only that, but it is really one of the healthiest and finest forms of exer cise imaginable. It brings into play muscles in every part of the body. Now, take Johnny “Tarzan” Weis muller; there’s a noble example of what aquatic activity will do for you. Of course there is nothing that can take the place of the ’ole swimming hole, but nevertheless, we’ve got a pool here at Mars Hill; if you don’t believe it, ask Professor Tilson. Since the pool opened after being closed last winter due to the contagion of colds; there has not been a great amount of interest taken in swim ming, but unless I miss my guess, it won’t be long before we’ll be hearing once more the cheerful splashes from the “pool room.” Good results are being had from the intra-mural baseball competition, and much interest is being shown by the participants in the intra-mural circles. Aside from furnishing a good basis for friendly rivalry, this activi ty is doing much to foster good clean fun, health, and good sportsmanship. According to Umpire Todd, “head man” of that show, the spirit shown by the players has been excellent. These fellows are out there with the spirit of true sportsmen, for the love of the game. So far there have not been so many spectators on hand at the games but with tightening up of competi tion, iwe expect to see the crowds of eager fans swarming into the grandstands down at the field. Games are held each afternoon at 4 o’clock except on the days when the varsity team plays. The list of games may be seen on the bulletin board just inside the gym. team. Among the most promising are: Bunker, Jarvis Lawrence, Cox, Burnette, McCall, and Stephenson. The netmen are fortunate in having the support of Chandler, a former letter-man from Weaver and a strong addition to the team. Coach Roberts is fast building a crack track team. These fellows de serve a lot of credit. A good track showing means work and plenty of it; moreover, the worse part is that they have to practice right after sup per, and if they eat as much as I do, I’m certain that is not at all pleasant. The team made a good showing at the indoor track meet in Asheville, and by the time that this edition of ye olde Hilltope comes out, we will have either won or lost a meet with the Weaver team at Mars Hill on April 24th.

McLeod and S. 0. Trentham. It was anounced at this meeting that Edison Picklesimer, Woodrow Jones, L. C. Chiles and Robert Bur nett would be Commencement debat ers for the society.

They have played some pretty tough encounters, but they have a very commendable record to their credit, having lost, so far, only one match, when they bowed be- | THE FLATIRON FLOWER SHOP Asheville^ N.
