New York. Jan. 22 Randomusing:
Forging up midtown Madison ave
nue against the winter wind I ob
served tho other afternoon that a
young man was getting ready to
shoot me or take my picture . . .
It was so cold I didn't care which . .
Unfortunately for you, however, the
the thing he was pointing at me was
a camera ... It clicked and as I
passed he handed me a ticket with a
number on It . . . "There informal
snapshots have been made of you.
Send In this stub with 25 cents and
receive them by return mail.” . . .
Which I did, being vain and incess
antly curious.
But what was my amazement to
find in my mail this morning three
stills of a large and grim-visaged
lady leading a frowning little girl by
the hand . . . "Dear Madame," be
gan the accompanying mimeographed J
form. "Here you are as your friends
sec you! These are no tricky, studio
photographs, but actual action studies
of you. After you have examined
them closely we believe you will
agree they are better likenesses than
that last $lB-a-dozen batch of studio
portraits!” . . . Mebbe so, mebbe so,
. . . But l wish someone would in
troduce me to the little lady.
WHAT PRICE ERRORS
Typographical errors are perhaps
noticed with greater horror by news
paper folk than by readers, who no
doubt never give a hoot that your pet
phrase should have been scrambled
• . . Not long ago, for example, 1
was astonished and annoyed to see
that a phrase describipg night clubs
an "upholstered cellars” had turned
up In this space as “upholstered dog
collars” . . . But. even as I groaned
I realized how easily cellars could
have become collars and how the dog
was added by a puzzled proof reader
who was trying to put a little sense,
however far-fetched, into the burbling
of a silly columnist.
But in the mail comes a card from
Brooklyn: "I thought your reference
to night clubs as upholstered dog col
lars amazingly apt! At first glance
the words just didn’t mean anything
at all, but when you think them over
they seem, for some strange reason,
to fit perfectly." .' . . Maybe I’d bet
ter hire a professional type-scrambler.

RED TAPE—WHY
Why does the political machinery
in the United States insist on going
"all around its fingers to get to its
thumb?’’ That is a question many
people are asking. Why is it much
red tape necessary, especially in the
election of President and Vice-Presi
dent Today a revolution is taking
place in the minds of many citizens.
They object to the round-a-bout me
thod of committees and conventions
and editorial colleges minus the di
rect voice of the people in the most
important election—that of choosing
the chief executivo of “the land of
the brave and the free.” Did not
Lincoln say that our America had a
government “of the people, by the
people, and for the people?”
A similar movement took place sev
eral years ago. For some time it re
mained a dead issue, but again the
subject of direct election of the
heads of the nation has come to the
front. There are many pros and cone
batted back and forth by politicians.
Some say anyone really caring will
take a part in the smaller conven
tions, and work up to a place of im
portance and decision, others answer
back that there are many who do
not care for a political job but are in
terested in the major office holders,
and again that question of whether
the general public is able to decide
such a major issue alone is brought
up.
Surely ’ something will be done
about it in the near future. Maybe
some of the politically inclined of
H. H. .S. will take a prominent part.

KEYHOLE RAMBLERS
Dear Me! How time flies. It does
not seem like anytime since the sen
ior dance. And by the way, our black
haired belle on Belle Street arrived
at the dance with all flags flying,
hanging on the assistant editor’s arm.
“Bear Jr.” took the “smartest little
girl” of the Senior Class. Gee they
were cute, they were made for each
other.
As it was, the curly headed boy on
the Oxford Road couldn’t find any
body to take home although he tried
hard enough.
The Chemistry teacher Ucelebrated
his first wedding anniversary a few
weeks ago. Let’s all go out and con
gratulate him.
What is to be done about the cute
junior boy on Montgomery Street.
He’s getting more passionate over his
red-headed senior everyday.

Now that exams are over the sen
iors are going to try and be the best
class yet. I have heard quite a num
ber of them say that they are fight
ing for exemption on every subject.
That’s a big order, but it can be done
if they settle down to work. Here’s
congratulations to those who passed
everything and a hope for the future
for those who failed on one or more
of their subjects. Don’t forget it’s
possible to pul up a fall term aver
age with a spring term but it is not
possible to pull up a spring average
with a fall one.
Louis H.: What is heredity?
Clarence P.; Something every man
believes in until his son begins to act
like a fool.
Helen W.: What do you consider
the greatest poem ever written?
Charlotte W.: Wei it isn’t finished;
I’m just putting the finishing touch
es on it.
Colin M.; I hear you broke your arm
cranking that old Ford.
Bill S.: Yes, it serves me right
for fooling with a contraption that’s
a cross between a bicycle and a mule.

DID YOU EVER PROMIES
NOT TO FALL
Don’t Dream of Missing This
The biggest sensation of Henderson
high school will take place on Feb. 8
at the Stevenson Theatre, when the
Junior Play, “The Charm School,’" is
presented. There is only one per
formance so be the early bird and
buy your tickets soon.
Did you ever see a dream walking?
Well Elisei did. “And the dream that
wal walking and the dream that was
talking” was Austin Bevans, an auto
mobile salesman with Ideas.
Austin Bevans inherits a girl’s
boarding school from his old maid
aunt and determines to teach the
girls charm. He makes a promise to
Mr. Johns that he will not let any
of the girls fail in love with him. It
is broken, of course, for the first day
that he is there, every girl in the
school has “fallen hard.”
Miss Hays, head of the school, is
loved and feared by everyone who
knows her. Mr. Johns who practical
ly owns the school (judging from the
debt owed him), has again fallen in
love with Miss Hays his ex-wifa.
The girls sing seven new songs and
there are many funny incidents, es
pecially as Elise Bennedotti, played
<by Ann Peace, is at every possible
moment, trying to “make up” to
Austin.
You may be able to see bigger and
and better plays but you will never
get another chance to hear Tommy
Royster tell Effie Flannagan /that
she is the living example of health
and tell Tuddy Parham that she is
not telling the truth.
Don’t miss a chance like this! Be
sure and come!

A PLAY PARADE
A “Shirtsleeves” parade is now begun
Moybe you see familiar faces
Across this page characters will run
Joined with strange names and.
places.
With Theodore and Esther, the Rand
twins,
Played by Billy Dunn and Elizabeth
Bagwell, the fun begins,
They’re mischievous and full of life
But A-l helpers in time of strife.
Elizabeth McCormick as Deane Rand
Is conceited and spiteful—thinks she
i* "grand”
But near her J. W. Rose is apt to
linger
For she has Norman Aldrich around
her little finger.
L. B. Poythress as Donald Rand is
O. K.
Although from the family fold he
does stray
With Margie Scanlon, really Helen
Whitmore,
Whom he consents to obey ’till ife
is o’er.
Franklin Rand, the father is f!*e
And Herbert Crawford in that part
does shine,
AVhile his wife, Julia, is conceited
and hard
Played by Curlena Godfrey, complet
ing the family card.
Sally Hight as Kitty, the Irish maid,
Keeps all laughing—puts Eddie Can
ton in the shade.
The villian, Richard Crandall, is po
lished and slick
The work of Pat Bobbit does the trick
The main parade has now passed
But other actors on to the last
To add humor, variety, and charact
ers gay
To “Shirtsleevves,” the promising
Dramatic Club play.

In the Sir IVnlter Hole!
»V J. C. BASKKRVILL.
Raleigh. Jam, 22. A material in
crease in facilities for public fishing
was suggested today by R. Bruce
Etheridge, director of the Department
of Conservation and Development, as
a desired result of Federal emergency
work program. There are numerous
abandoned mill ponds and lakes thro
ughout North Carolina, Mr. Etherid
ge continued, which would make ex
cellent public fishing waters if re
paired and stocked and if facilities
could be made available for the pub
lic or if these areas can be brought
under public ownership.
A program for the provision of ad
ditional fishing waters for the pub
lic, Mr. Etheridge said, would be par
ticularly beneficial in the central
western part of North Carolina Where
such facilities do not exist in such
album dance as they are found in the
eastern part of the State. However,
even in Eastern North Carolina, hr
continued, there is mot a surplus of
fishing waters, especialy in those sec
tions not immediately on the coast or
sounds.
One fishing enthusiast in the east
ern part of the State, according to
Mr. Etheridge, has initiated plans for
promoting tihe development of addi
tional mublic fishing waters through
the CWA, amd others have exprem
Interest in the movement. The move
ment for the establishment of rural
community centers in which a lake
would be a center, has been parti
cularly commended by Mr. Etheridge.
Fishing, ■with hunting, the conser
vation director said, according to care
ful estimate®, is the most popular of
al outdoor spoils. Some sources esti
mate that the two sports exceed all
others combined in the outdoor field.
The final triumph, in hf e as * n old
comedies, rests with goodness amd
cbmmdh sense.
