Tfie Speaker Who
Failed to Speak
According to the program for the
sixth annual dramatic festival, sent
out just two days before the festival
began, Hatcher Hughes and Kenneth
Macgowan were to speak to the dele
gates. A number of drama enthusi
asts from all over the state attended
the festival with the expectation of
hearing the two celebrities.
But something happened the same
thing that happened at the festival
last year. A wire from Mr. Macgowan
was received Friday morning (the
morning on which he was to make his
talk.) Mr. Macgowan was sorry that
he would be unable to attend. Fur
thermore, the elusive , Mn Hughes
failed to show up. Those attending
the festival were disappointed and in
convinced when the "speaking , pus
sons" failed to arrive.
This old gag of the disappearing
speakers is getting rather nonotonous.
In addition to the failure of Mr.
"What to do about the Freshman."
Owing to the fact that they are work
ing with material which in great part
denies any hope of the finished pro
duct, this and other American' Uni
versities are progressively becoming
inadequate.
Yet despite agitation from all sides
the problem seems almost entirely in-
capable of any satisfactory solution.
How can this well nigh universal am-
bition of going to college be wisely
restricted? This is the question which
needs to ' be answered. Educational
authorities everywhere say that
American colleges are too large. Be
this as it may, the tragedy of the
matter is that they involve a cost per
student which is in excess of tuition
charges. In Freshman classes much
of this is squandered on unfit human
subjects. This is the evil which is de
manding the attention of administra
tive officials of the University of
North Carolina at present.
Annually at this season of the "year

Alice Elinor, the sugar merchant in

Arthur D. Stevens at exactly one
round dollar!
"Now several women in Seattle are
willing to take issue with the Judge.
"No money could compensate a
woman for a man't love," says Helen
Crowe Snelling, "if she had it! How
ever if another woman could get it,
it would be worth exactly nothing to
me." Nothing second-handed for this
lady. (Our own comment.)' .

too much to be worth a single cent."
And thus gentlemen we learn from

our love isn't worth the price of a

THE structural difference between a Dayton Steel Racquet
and other types is as striking as that between an airplane
and a motor car. In an airplane ;tunnel test the Dayton showed
43 less air resistance. That's why it gets your ball over quicker
20 quicker. That's why it actually gives you the jump on
speedier players. You've a right to demand facts. Here's the
second question of a series : ,
Q. How does the thinner construction of the Dayton affect
its comparison with a standard wood racquet in size, weight,
and balance?
A. Measurements at the Y. C. Lab. showed the Dayton to be
exactly its rated weight, the wood 2 over weight. With the
wood racquet as a standard for dimensions, center of gravity,
moments of inertia, etc., the average variation of the Dayton
was less than 5. Prof.L.H. Young of M.I. T., who made the
tests, says '.'The makers are to be commended upon an exceeding
ly clever piece of design." Dayton Steel Racquet Co. ,Dayton,0.
