It was written by Catherine Perry Hargrave, librarian of that organization. In this volume the authoress has brought together an except ional amount of information about the ancestry of the con temporary queens, knaves and pips on our playing cards. The subject is treated with a graphic thoroughness. Approximately four hundred and fifty illustra tions are included, reproduced from the world's largest play ing card collection, owned by the United States v Playing Card Company of Cincinnati. Egyptians, Arabs, Chinese, and Hindus all have the origin of the playing cards attributed to them. Miss Hargraves be lieves that playing cards and chess sprang from the same general source, and quotes the authority of the theory that both cards and chess go back to the use of the arrow in divination, and that one or both of the games were carried into China by an outcast tribe of Hindus. Many interesting events of the development and various sorts of card games are de scribed by Miss Hargrave. This book concludes with a seventy-nine page bibliography which lists every work on the subject of cards through the centuries and which should prove of distinct reference value.

VICTORIOUS jex f ' Vf Post-Election Sidelights (Continued from first page) the Co-ed shack. This was the cause of further disruption later in the day. , Don Conklin, candidate fororangS the office of president of the rising junior class on the Non- Frat ticket spent Monday night in Greensboro at a dance, ar rived in Chapel Hill at five in the morning and slept through the election. One of the freshmen when asked whether he would vote an All-Campus ticket, looked at the names of candidates and replied that he would except for the boy with the sissy name. A by stander inquired as to whom the sissy name belonged and re ceived answer "McBride Fleming-Jones." The inquirer was "Mac" himself, and 'when the freshman learned this he was very apologetic and consoled the candidate by promising to vote for him. Ellis Fysal, policeman of the Non-Fraternity party threaten ed to use his prowess unless the opposition proceeded to con duct themselves in a more "gentlemanly manner" and keep better order. 1 One voter was given the third degree for two solid hours by groups of politicians in relays, only to have him go to the polls and cast his ballot for the other side. About ten pledges stayed up all Monday night going through the dormitories with coat hang ers pulling Gil Pearson circulars out from under doors and dis tributing E. Carrington Smith's "Confession" in their place. They kept warm by building, a bonfire of over two thousand of those red circulars. J. C. "Red" Williams was kept up all the night before by cries of "Fleecy" which resound ed across the campus. Several of the freshmen got off to a fast start in their poli tical careers by posing as sen iors, by selecting the names of seniors who had dropped out of school for this quarter. . Three students, who lived out in town, refused to vote unless their laundry bags were carried out to the laundry. As the time was getting short and tfie out come in doubt twenty minutes were spent in collecting and de livering the parcels. Then, and then only would the three votes be secured. A squad of the weaker sex were on hand lending their sup port for their respective candi dates. One of them was heard to ask a prospective voter whether he was voting for the All-Campus for Non-Campus party. Southern chivalry came to the front when many of the co-eds were allowed to avoid the rush ana waiting in line. (Provid- f CANDIDATES ing that they voted with these polite gentlemen). And all the while John Albert Lang, chairman of the AU-Cam-puss party, sat at a desk in the lobby calmly eating apples and The heaviest voting of the day was for the office of president of the student union, 1525 bal lots being cast. "Spec" Mc Clure, elected editor of the Carolina Magazine, received the largest number of votes cast for any one candidate and also had a larger majority over his op ponent than any other man. The shutting of the door of the ballot room promptly at five o'clock was the signal for all the politicians to toss their circulars in the air letting out THEY Look for the Tine OFFICE one vociferous yell and give a sigh of relief. In five minutes the "Y" lobby was empty ex cept for the sea of colored paper the remains of the fight, cover ing the floor and the janitor al ready beginning a "clean campaign."
