p b offense was committed in Canada, a Justice in the United States had no jurisdiction in the matter. It was many days before the wom- an saw her son again. She had not much opportunity to indulge in mel- ancholy fancies; she spent much of her time in pulling brush and wood out of the snow and breaking it with an axe, so as to adapt it to the size of her stove. The neighbors tried to be kind, but after all, what could neighbors amount to, when the nearest of them lived a mile away, and all of them were plain to say that they believed she was the mother of a murderer? But the neighbors also said the woman did not seem to mind the solitude and the rough work. She received three letters from Alexander in the course of the win- ter. The first told her that he was imprisoned, and awaiting his trial; and the last two said he had been convicted and must die. As March went out, and spring days and sunshine came, it was no- ticed that the face of Alexander’s mother looked sharp and white, but she went about the same duties as before, without seeming to be weak or ill. As the warm weather advanced, the time came for Alexander’s exe- cution. It was a sorrowful scene; the woman saw her son before he went to his death, but only for a few mo- ments. The son that she raised to a man was being punished for a crime he had never comniitted. She knew that he was not guilty, the only one who really believed in him. The strong woman became weak; and, as the June flowers began to bloom, she ceased to move about and sat most of each day in a chair by the open door. A few friendly neigh- bors came to the little house and helped the woman carry on the work to be done. Her mind changed with the relaxation of her physical frame. She no longer strove to hide her tears, but, like a tired infant, would weep without restraint or conceal- ment.

S. faculty while looking for the Lindbergh baby, but all they found was an unused still in the attic and a skeleton in the closet. It's getting so that even a bank embezzler isn't safe any more. THAN DUTCH LOVE A BIT OF ARSENIC Well, here we are again bringing the news and mews concerning ac- tivity in and around this noble insti- tution or perhaps I should say noble in purpose.” Since the February seniors madly rushed for freedom and as there are no new suffering sophs the only ones left whom We can tear to pieces are the faculty members—I can picture the flag at I half-staff already. We have gathered together a few- astonishing but little known facts which will surely arouse your inter- est,—why, we are even beginning to i acquire an accent like Walter Win- chell’s. The English teachers are consider- | ing the request of several students to have 40 instead of 20 points of out- side reading required per semester. | Has the idea your support? And here’s good news for you fans. Several public-spirited men have ex- pressed their desire to co-oporate in building a stadium for Q.H. S. With ! a student drive, say of one cent per ' head, the project would undoubtedly j succeed. Then we would not have to freeze at Fore River; we could stay at home and freeze. It is reported that all schools are to be dismissed at 1:30 instead of 2:30 next year, and on cloudy Fri- days clam chowder will be served in the boiler room. Mr. Bridges smokes big black see- gars when in the privacy of his own home. Clipped from a rival column: It was proposed that the students of Quincy High School pay one dollar and a quarter to attend twenty-six home games during the course of the year. The students rejected the plan.” Need we say more? Cutting costs is a splendid idea, but after all there is a limit to the number of words which one can write on a piece of i ad paper. Those pictures of the Father of Our Country are very inspiring; but how do you feel when you say, “Sure, I did my homework? QUESTION AND ANSWER DE- FAHIMENT Dear Uncle Linden: My wife has insomnia and doesn't get any sleep nights. What shall I do? Answer: I'd suggest a short piece of lead pipe. Dear Sympathetic Uncle Linden: My boy friend has been going with other girls lately. Please advise. Answer: See Mr. Dean on the third floor. Q. and A. Dept. Dear Sir: I am twenty-one, have brown hair, blue eyes, am about five feet five inches tall and weigh about 110 pounds, but nobody seems to notice me. Can you suggest something? Answer: I'll be out next Satur- day night. My dear Uncle Lind (May I call you Lind?): Will I be successful in my divorce suit? Answer: Madame, whouse do youse tink I is. Evangeline Adams? My very dear Sir: Will A1 Smith be elected in 1932? Answer: Our next President will be a dark horse from Bemijie, Wis. Personally. I'm hoarding my money. Dear Friend of Youth: Is 16 too young an age at which to be mar- ried? Answer: Pardon me while I see what the boys in the back room will have. Uncle Linden: Did you see the Strange Interlude? I thought it was just too exciting. Answer: Madame, you are wasting your time here. They hang people out in Texas. THE OLD MAID’S PARADISE Students have been offered several opportunities to hear some very ex- cellent speakers this winter which they undoubtedly did not appreciate. On February 8. Dr. George Rom- mert spoke to some of our future Faradays and Newtons on micropro- jection. The enthusiasm was of such intensity that it seems quite obvious that if a few other activities were made at least of moderate interest, they would perhaps receive greater support.
