Then the chiefest of the Beta ' s lay his hand onto Jehudi ' s shoulder and spake; and as the son listened he likewise marveled, for as much as the blessings shown unto him were truly of the land of milk and honey. 7. And Jehudi was pleased, saying, Dost thou say that these blessings may come to pass unto me? And they answered, Yea, it is thy birthright. CHAPTER 3 Then came a great commotion at the door and a face peeketh thru the transom; thus were the Beta ' s made to frown and mutter among themselves, for they of Phi Psi returneth. 2. And the corridor did so resound with their bodies that it seemeth a multitude was without. Then was the door opened and one of the number steppeth forth, saying, Ye have done thy due, now grant unto us ours. 3. Thereupon the Beta ' s taketh their leave, in turn smiling upon Jehudi and scowling upon the others, while they from the West hastened to bring the gospel to the son, who was sore confused. 4. Then spake the Phi Psi ' s in ringing words, Hearken ye not to they who came before us for they are publicans and sinners, and do roll up their pantlegs. 5. They teacheth that women are wicked. Yea, they have but mocked thee and thou hast done wrong to listen. 6. And Jehudi was sore afraid, say ing, Ipray thee, sires, how mayst I atone for my sin? 7. And the leader taketh from his pocket a button, saying, By this token ye shall serve penance. Wear it and suffer no more the com- pany of evil men. Therewith the Phi Psi ' s betook themselves away, rejoicing in their act. 8. Thus did it happen that Jehudi alone remained in the room but ere he could pause to clear his brow a person did appear from beneath the bed, and Jehudi was astonished with a great astonishment.

OCTOBER 1940 23 YOO WHO! The Adventures of Junior in the Land of the Greeks by KEN LEWIS CHAPTER 1 1VTOW there was a certain man of Catarrh, in the land of Bismuth, and his name was Jehudi. And this man was of great wisdom, having read both the Book of Pinkham and the Catalog of Mail Orders during his span of sixty years. 2. And there was to Jehudi a wife and son and the name of this son was Jehudi, after the father, but most times called Junior. 3. And it came to pass that the son grew to the height of the parent and began to wheedle from him the family automobile, which he fetcheth in late and empty of liquid. Moreover he would lie abed even while the sun was high, and by these and many other ways did he plague the peace of the household. 4. Then the parent took counsel with the other parent and they did agree that it was time the son be sent forth to the state uni- versity in order that the calm be restored. 5. Thereupon did the young man depart in his new automobile of much camel-power, and he taketh with him radio, athletic sweater, and The Art of Bepartee, Ten Lessons Complete. CHAPTER 2 For two days and two nights did Jehudi follow the highway which led to the place of learning, then on the third morn he entered the city gates and checketh in at the hostelry. 2. But there were in the place spies of the houses of Sigma Nu and Phi Psi and Beta and ere he had removed his coat a host of stalwarts burst in upon him. And they said, Greetings, Jehudi, son of Jehudi, of the land of Bismuth. We are of the house of Beta and do bid thee friendly welcome. 3. And Jehudi was surprised for he heard not that the ways of the city were like this. Wherefore is it that ye know my name, sires? he asked. And the men called Beta said that they had long known of Jehudi, son of Jehudi. 4. Then came there down the hall the sound of footsteps and Jehudi thought to himself, Verily, a troop cometh, but it was only two Phi Psi ' s. 5. And they of Beta saith to the newcomers, Get thee hence and returneth later for we are first come. Thereupon the others gave reply by sigh but being of smaller number durst not tarry.

Be thou attentive therefore whilst I set thee straight. 10. And Jehudi listened albeit he was sore confused. 11. Thereupon the stranger did proclaim the glories of Sigma Nu beside which the others measureth not, and as he spake he taketh from Jehudi the one button and putteth back another. 12. Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fat- ness of the earth, And of the dew of heaven from above ; 13. And by thy word shalt thou live, And serve thy brother; And it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, That thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. 14. Then he of Sigma Nu leadeth Jehudi down the fire-escape. CHAPTER 4 1. And it came to pass that the son saith nay where he should have saith yea. Then was he taken to the chamber and made to leaneth over. 2. And Jehudi was sore confused. (All Photos by Ed Garich)
