DISTURBANCE AT FOUR CORNERS The city almost witnessed a tornado at the Four Corners yesterday between the hours of 3-7. Paul Otto and Mel- vin Morrow during the brief period of four hours were having a fiery discus- sion as to where they should buy the r cigarettes. The discussion ended when the police force interfered. HERMIT PAIR FOUND One of the greatest shocks to society came late yesterday when our reporter found a hermit pair living on the out- skirts of the meadows. Upon investi- gation he found the pair to be Matilda Del Negro and Highland Beaman. As a result of the interview it was found that the reason for this behavior was because they had lost faith in human nature. EXTENSIVE CAMPAIGN PRESSED Krueger’s Auditorium was flooded to capacity last night when Hon. Carl R ff and his Manager John Dinzik attacked William Jennings Bryan. This meeting had a greater showing of the people of Newark than did the meeting he’.d last week by the Big Three. Golden. Sefack and Rohn. Per- haps that was caused because many disagreed as to the fitness of the plat- form that soap-box orations should tc considered lawful. We know only that there was no excitement caused by an ill-wagging tongue such as was done by Judge Golden at their meeting. CIRCUS COMES TO TOWN An unusually large crowd is ex- pected to attend the opening day fes- tival of the Barnum and Bailey Circus. Promises of a splendid performance are given for Ignatius Scarpitta is this year’s attraction. THOUSANDS COLLECTED As a result of the unusual perfor- mance given by the Salvation Army yesterday thousands of dollars were collected. Elizabeth Curimano. Cath- erine Oliva and Edward Burns as so- loists are to be complimented. Miss Curimano gave a saxophone solo; Miss Oliva playing the trombone and Mr. Burns the tuba, proved a delightful number. Their performance was the first of a series. If the following numbers are as good we are sure that the treasury of the Salvation Army will be greatly increased. SCHOLASTIC NEWS Mildred Hirleman is about to be pensioned for her splendid service given through the public schools. Marion Dunn has had her name placed in “Who’s Who’’ by the intro- duction of the word JIGGER. Dex- terity is one of her qualities for she certainly has stuck to this word. Mildred Cohen has just been ap- pointed editor of the “Sarcastic Sar- casm,” the school paper of the high school in which she was teaching chemistry. Good luck to you. Mabel Mitchell is giving lectures in Maine. She seems to have a struggle in accomplishing her aim; for the topic, proper enunciation of words, s a difficult one. Arthur Le Maitre has become a gym teacher. This is a promise that he will soon be gym supervisor. LITERARY NOTES Bruno Becker has been appointed advertising editor of “Free Advertis- ing World.” He has already intro- duced a new color scream, green and orange. XXII

THE ORIENT fcJT---------------------------------------------------------- not the thorn. When, finally, we clutched impulsively, we felt the deep, biting lesson of the sting. And it took such lessons as these, tearful eyes and wounded hopes, to convey to us the realization that life means duty, that success and happiness mean the accomplishment of duty. But now' we stand no longer freshmen, no longer children, but men and women matured in body and mind. Our paths are no longer the roads to self enjoyment, no longer blind trails of blissful ignorance. Self no longer blinds the eyes of duty. For now we stand on the brink of li and the lessons learned from experience will serve us well in the future. Looking back again, we are surprised. Is this the moment for which we have waited for weary years? Where is the thrill of joy? Where the feeling of exultation? We feel no thrill, no exultation, no joy—only the deep, dull, aching throb of the parting The almost incredulous realization that with the passing of June we are leaving a haven of friends—the realization that in a short time East Side will be like a beautiful dream that steals quietly before the eye and makes one sigh with the regret that it steals so suddenly away. We have made friends here, trusting friends, and the graduation is especially hard because for many the parting in the road will have come. Duty’s call is infinite- It knows no bounds. It makes no discrimination. ORIENT EDITORS XXI

THE ORIENT Lucille Littig and Anna Shead are making prominent places in the world by their splendid magazine “Cheerio.” DOINGS IN AFRICA Richard Miller, the sensation of the day, has proved that he is an all- around perfect hunter. Monday, ac- cording to our foreign reporter, he established a world's record by throw- ing three lions with bare hands. SOCIETY NOTES Edith Sliter gave society a shock when she suddenly decided to make her marriage short and snappy. At four, Sunday morning she and Ever- ett Walker went speeding to the min- ister’s home. George Di Giovanni is making a prominent place in the four hundred. He appears to be a second Beau Brummel. There is a rumor that he has been seen promenading with the model of Franklin Simon Co., Helen Marshall. Nelda Pendleton has become a standard for the tailored world. She is now known as the tailor-made woman. A rumor is in the air that Otto Kennedy is thinking of suicide. It is believed that this is caused by his series of divorces, which number somewhere in the twenties. He thought now that having found his ideal com- panion he could rest in peace and com- fort, but, unfortunately, she refused him. Shattered are his plans. Dorothy Goertz is visiting in Hawaii, where she is giving dancing lessons. She has already proved that Hawaii has not known her sort. Norman Conrad will give a lecture Friday night at the City Temple. The purpose of this lecture is to propose a reform that all Churches should be built of red brick. This shows one of the reasons why Mr. Conrad has been called Mr. Stick-to-Church. Emily La Falce has just returned from abroad, where she has been study- ing languages. She now intends to be professor of languages at Know-it- all College. A Romeo and Juliet scene ensued yesterday when Rose Slitkin was prac- tising her vocal lesson, on the front porch. Brach with his guitar then appeared. Now. the rest is left to you. Frank Bruenig has become superin- tendent of the Nurse’s home. Good for you. Frank. Stick to your aims. ML’SIC NOTES Amelia Davidson is planning a violin recital for tonight. We do not doubt but that Musical Hall will be filled to capacity. BUSINESS NOTES Thomas O’Reilly is becoming a center of envy for many are striving to get him because he has proved so efficient as chief Butler in the home of Louis Bamberger. Philip Clark has won the contest for selling the greatest number of ladies’ silk hosiery. This shows his pleasing ways with the ladies. John Weier proves to be a good salesman for “The Wear Well Ties Socks Co.” Personal experiences usually fit well in one’s profession. Anne Begley’s “Ye Artistic Shoppe” is doing a nourishing business. La t week Mrs. Coolidge and Mrs. Dawes were seen purchasing there. Mae Calcagno’s “The Bonnie Florisi” is doing a thriving business. She has been doing well with her hedges, hav- ing gotten the practice in hedging at Ea6t Side. EXCHANGE PLACE PROPERTY SOLD Leo Neiwirth as the agent sold the “Commerce Building.” The deal con- sisted of thousands of dollars. So great was the proposition that Oscar Buehler acted as the delivery boy. Great exercise was required in this transaction but Mr. Neiwirth outshone his competitor. OPENING OF BEAUTY PARLOR Landolfi’s “Beauty Parlor” appears to be one of the best of its kind in the city. By beautifying the nose— the specialty of this firm—we can see that many patrons are always to be at hand. SPORT NEWS The Giants won another game yester- day. thereby increasing the number of victories to 21. Surely Coach Windu3 could not wish for more. He certainly has shown his knowledge of baseball. Let us hope for another victory to- morrow. Chester Zawadski is doing a good business at the Bears’ games. Yester- day he was completely sold out of his supply of hot dogs. Chester always manages to see the Bears play. XXIII
