T O KILLE RAID ON JAZZ-HOUND NIGHT CLUB NETS HAUL 1 Vice Squad Arrests 25 in South End Twenty-five members of the social register were arrested in, a long-p-lanned and carefully executed raid on the Jazz-Hound Night Club last night at four o'clock in the afternoon. The club is under the management of Geraldine Carsley, who had obtained for hostess the famous divorcee, Muriel Wylie. Amid sihieksl, breaking of sarsaparilla bottles, and 'shooting of iirecrackers, the vice squad, headed by Mildred Eddy, descended upon the club. With four trusty aides, Julia Downing, Ruth Kennedy, Marion McGuire, and Helen Murphy, the following people were arrested for violating the peace: Josephine Lash, Linda Amlbrose, Gladys Lyons, Zelda. Golden, Josephine Kelleher, Sara Krivitsky, Kathryn Line- han, E-dith McCulloch, Alice Neal, Ruth Paisl-ey, and Lillian Rankin. Madelon Burbeck and Frances Leggett were ar- rested for violating the Prohibition law in the act of contesting for the title of champion root bee-r drinker. 'One -hundred cases of sarsiaparilla, fifty-six cases of bootleg ginger ale, and thirty-four cases of grlape-juice We-re seized -by the squad. Captain Eddy reports it the most successful raid ever conducted by the force. D I D EL Extra! comics I-'RlEND.s FEI-IT BLOODY MATCH 'ro BITTER END .ls- .-. Eighteen shots, fired at half-past two yesterday morning on Follen Street, brought neighbors hurry- ing to the doors of the home of Jessie McK-elvie and Florence Misner where they encountered a gruesome sc-ene of horror. The :bodies of the two o-ld friends lay on the floor in pools of blood. Smoking revolvers were clutched in their hands. .Marguerite Cronin, otherwise kn-own as Hawk- shaw the. detective, and Rose Cole, ial-ilas Sherlock Holmes, have advanced two possibilities as to re- sponsibility for this terrible crime. Basing their de- ductions on carefu-l measurement of the floor and the lengltlh of the revolverfs, they ihrave come- to the con- clusion that -the two- women killed each other after a quarrel of five -months' standing over the- son of Eleanor -Greenaway, one of their former classmates at Sout.h Overcoat High School. Their other deduction is that in the stress of their emotio-n -over the sorrow caused by the stupendous amount of unusual magnificence of the recent f'ClO'I1ll',lI1vl1'9d on page 14, col. 45 GAZETTE STAFF Priscilla Robinson ..............

..i'l'll'-ln best-natured and the most light-hearted. Her contagious smile made them all laugh so hard that te-ar.s rolled down the1r' cheeks as .they 1n1t1ated her into the Smilers' Club. Opposing h-er was J osephme Lash who was awarded the prize for the most ser1o-us. M-athilde Cassone, dressed as Pierrette, was judged the most frivo-lous, while Agatha Taplin, Margaret R0bb11'1.S, and Frances Leggett, auto- matically became the most ba-shful girls, as they blu.shed their way mto stardom. Marguerite Cronin left this c-ontest to enter the most demure race, which she won over Edna Wrlght and Gladys Lyons. In the cooking contests, Marion Mc-Guire was the only one who could make b1scu1ts which could n-ot be used as bull-ets, and wa.s accordlngly given a platinum m1X1ng spoon, engraved For the Best Mixer . Evelyn Rau and Eleanor Greenaway apologized so prettily to each other when they spilled cocoa on each other's taieta gowns, that they were judged the most polite, while Geraldine Ca.rsl-ey, in her diplomatic en- deavors to keep peace between the contestants and the Judges, won the de- cision for the best-mfannered. L The pe-anut race for the class hu-stler was won by Charlotte Schaedel, who was threatened only by Madel-on Burbeck and Marion McGuire. Martna Johnson sprinted with a w1nn1ng spurt over the line to become the most likely to succeed, with Agatha Taplin closing in at her feet. Last of all came the baby show and the man-haters' contest. ,The rattle was pres-ented to Gladys Sullivan an-d the teething-rings to Ruth Nichols, Rita Moll-et, and Marguierite Cronin. Elsie Owen was judged the class man-h-ater when she picked up a broomcstlck and chased the terri-iied udges off the field, followed by all other members of the class who had smiled for prizes 1n vain. With the Judges on the1r way to California, the meet broke up in much confusion, and Steve came out of his hi-ding-place under a pile of tennis nets, to thank his lucky -stars th-at the roof-campus was his for anotheryear.

SOUTH OVERCOAT GAZETTE EXAMS Eor the 135th cons.ecut-ive- wee-k we are 'again bringing to the attention of our readers and the Faculty the prop-o-sal that all seniors be excused throughout the year from all classes. To back up this p-roposal we have fourteen points. Firstly, senior classes are a b-ore. Seco-ndly, they are unnec- es-sary. Fourthly, we get nothing from them, Eighthly, th.e professors require too much homework. Eleventhly, 'we prefer dancing to studying. Lastly, but not leastly, the courses offered should be revised to pro-vide mo-re amusement to the bo-red classes. If this proposal were followed the Board o-f Edi- tors is sure that a great improvement would be made in the college.

F ASHIONS Fashions Seen in the Exclusive Giltmore Hotel While at the Giltmore I saw many o-f my friends in very chic array of the latest fashio-ns.
