A CRAZE FOR THICK woolen
shirts is spreading like wildfire a
mong college and high school lads,
the country over. Colors are gaudy,
such as red and black checker
boards. The Idea seetnss to imi
tate the Makiqaw coats of lumber
jacks. !
ITS THE HEALTHIEST sign
we're observed in the nation's
youth for many a moon. It sug_
gests there's a reaction against
what might be summed ? up as
sheikism and lounge lizardism With
great gleet old timers will observe
the waning of au effeminate ten
dency in a considerable number of
American youths. The lads went to
look like "he-men" again.
STYLES ARE PRETTY GOOD
weathervanes of national tendencies
Conditions were very healthy years
ago when boys in their late teens
wore flannel shirts, rough peg-top
trousers^ njaybe chewed tobacco on
the sly, read Nick Carter and from
the east went west in summertime
to work in wheat fields for winter
spending money.
THEY BELONGED I T6 A virile
genefrjation. Their ragtime was
healthier 'han the modern decadent
form of jazz blues. There wasn't as
much synthestic gin in those days
The typical Nick Carter reader was
as much more promising lad than
the sissy who deted on namby-pam^'
by Rolle books.
SIGNS OF DECADENCE show
up periodically in aljl civilizations
But the pendulum in America aL
way8 swings back to normal. It
may very well be that youth's sud
den craze for rough lumberjacks
shirts means the beginning of the
end of jazz life in entirety. The
"Covered Wagon" type of fiction
is eclipsing the sheik type
This also reflects a change in the
audiences, especially youth.
THE OTHTER NIGHT jt was
my supreme pleasure to see an ur
stagey arrogant high hat, actor
who was attempting to uplift his
audience with a bit of "classical
entertainment" get the final- and
complete veto o i an audience-Deri
sive Laughter.
He WAs TRYING SO luud to be
great and lof.y. And to get what
he got-laughs, not with but at him
was ' tn my humble opinion, fate for
one proving both just and merci
ful. In one way, it may seem pitiful
for an actor of all tyeolPle to be so
treated.-laughed off j the stage, in
another sense if what he does is
bad, poor ridiculous and altogether
unworthy, why shouldn't he be
laughed off That kind of laughter is
more powerful tha catcalls and
hisses it is final and complete
dismissal. You can't wither it or
explain it, any more than you can
combat sunlight with a city ordi
nance or' a proclamation. >
LAUGHTER IS I USED all too
seldom to d0 one of the things it
alone can do with] perfect -effect
-destroy. Broad , robust Daughter
is the one thing that can make
hypocrisy turn tail and run. It can
shatter sham to j bits, pulverize
pomposily and ha*ry highbrowism
out of the country A great deal
has been said about thefrown of the
Almighty and also about his smiles.
But his most terrfic ammunition^
so fierce that it isl rarely unveiled,
to human eyes aid ears, is his
laughter.
TURKEY IS NOTHING if not
cautious. She is getting rid of poly
gamy, but hesitates at doing it all
at once. A law has just been con.
firmed by the Turkish Parliment
forbidding marriages to more than
one wife; except in unusual cases.
While the Koran permits five wives
it) is said .that the drift of public
opinion has long been toward mono
gamy and that mopt Turks have but
one wife, even those who can af
ford more. Probably the "unusual
cases" are those Where a Turk has
found one wife siuch an unending
joy that he feels that it should be
dofubled, treblted j or quadrupled in
ertent. No one should receive an
unusual case penplt without a cer
tificate that he
far as he has gc
tion of these uni
high tribute to
been good so
te. The resefva
tual case* is a
he happiness 'of
married life undeir the crescent in
some instances.
THERE MUST
reasons in favor
BE A great many
!of polygamy, or it
would not have nourished so long
over so many pafrts of th? earth.'
One might formulate many argu
ments in its favc|r( and it has ptos.
l>ered *rtth the frost devout sanq.
tion of religion. But it is a poor in.
stitution, and as races have advan
ced they have discarded It. The
fundamental objection to it Is that
it is too distracting. This is true
whether the mafriage be happy or
reverse.

"In Flanders' FJeld"t the ylay
which which be given in our school
auditorium on the 7th of April was
written by Professor Vermont of
Converse College, a man born in
Belgium. From the very beginning
of the war he had a great interest
in it and spoke practically every
night on behalf of his native land.
Being struck by the great poem
"In Flanders Field" written . by the
lamented Col. Mc. Crae, he decideed
to write a play on It. ,He has done
so wi*\h remarkable success.
The stjory begins in the home of a
onfederate soldier, Colonel Temple,
whose daughter Louise is in love
with Frank teel, the son of a muL
tfmilionaire. This wealthy man can
neither read nor write and is rich
only because they found oil on his
land. He does not understand Ills
son, he hates to see him go to the
war, he hates the Confederate colo
nel who wants Frank to defend the
Stars and Stripes.
There is pathos in the Play, trag
edy too. The millionaire swears ven
gence on his old friend, CoL Tem
ple. But he has not even>hing his
way, the common sense of the
people asserts itself in {hat com
munity. Then there is laughter gal
ore over the saying of that hard
headed, plain Jim the Carpenter.
One moment the aulience is bathed
in tears, the next everybody roar*
with laughter.
The Belgian scene hi the plafy is
striking. Here again some fine
dramatic work will be done. The
Converse and Wofford students
play with a go that is seldom seen
in non-professionals.
"In Flandes'Field" Willi be play
ed before the S. C. Teachers'
Assembly, then comes to us. It is
prehaps one of the biggest plays
ever seen here.

A HEALTHY MOTOR
The motor of a good automobile, when in first
class condition, is one of the finest mechanisms
on earth. Its smooth flow of power, capable of
generating high speed, is one of the marvels of
the age. On the other hand, a motor that is not
in the best condition is not a very efficient piece i
of machinery. Nothing can beat an automobile
motor for "getting out of whack" all the time. ;
f4 -
\ This is usually due to carelessness on the part
of the owner. A motor must be treated right,
and care must be taken to see that it is kept pro
- perly adjusted. Consult with us any time on the '
condition of your car.
