LEON MONES, Literary yore papos در‎ s s کر سر‎ TAT (li IN RETROSPECT Whatever we become—wherever we are—we shall always look with affectionate eyes on our Alma Mater. She has had us in her care for four happy years—to her must go a great share of the credit for the success we hope to attain in later life. We, who came here four years ago as children, are emerging as young men and women standing on the very threshold of life. “The social life, the pleas- ant companionship of friends, the ever friendly ad- vice and aid of our teachers have helped not only to develop our minds, but have moulded our characters as well. And now that the time has come for us to depart and take our places in the world, with a smile on our lips, and a tear in our eye, do we say “Central, adieu!” VR HL “KIDDING” YOURSELF Among the many slang expressions heard about the modern American school there are a few which are so appropriate for the thought expressed that the idea cannot be completely expressed in any other words. Among these latter is the expression, “kid- ding” oneself. All of us have heard this used over and over again, and all of us are afflicted to a greater or less degree with this disease, and there are many chronic cases. Some “kid” themselves that they are the smartest in the class; others “kid” themselves that they are the par excellence when it comes to dancing; some think they are so good looking that the teacher simply must give them an eight. Even the present writer is “kidding” himself. He “kids” himself that he is not “kidding”” himself; and there are many more. The great humorists (you know them), the class pests, the female boys and vice versa, the great gymnasts; all are “kidding” themselves. There is one type of “kidding yourself” that is highly commendable, that type which makes us stand up against odds. “The kind the vastly inferior foot- ball team practices when it goes up against a greatly superior force resolved to win. This type is a valu- able asset to anyone, but it cannot be designated by a slang phrase. It is on a much higher plane; we call it self-confidence. And even this, if carried to extreme, is bad and becomes overconfidence. Seniors, as we go through life we will find many people who are “kidding” themselves. “They never long command our respect, they never reach success; don't be one of them. “When you find yourself nurs- ing some pretty vanity say “Pshaw, I'm kidding my- self,” and then stop it. Be confident and not over- conhdent. Remember—don't “kid” yourself. SCHOOL LIFE For many students school begins at 9 o'clock and ends at 3. When the 3 o'clock bell rings they rush downstairs, get their hats and are gone. For them school means nothing more than English, bookkeep- ing, Spanish, homework or the like. “They care not whether the school wins a football game from a rival for the first time in six years; they worry not as to whether the school's track team will win the meet. They wonder what it is that makes a fellow spend all his afternoons practicing with the football team or go in training for the track team. True, they ap- plaud in assembly when it is announced “Central defeated so and so, score 9-0 ; true, they cheer, rah! rah! rah! when the cheer leader waves his arms, but beyond that they are impassive. It is interesting to note that many seniors graduate each term without a single school activity in their write-up in the senior PIVOT. These students have missed more than half of school life. Contrast with these the students who do not rush home at 3 o'clock (I mean the ones who stay volun- tarily, not those in 217). They go to the class meeting, or the dance, or some such activity, getting to know their fellow-students, discussing various school problems. “They go to the games, they root for the team, they contribute to school funds. For them school means more than English and homework; it means sports, fellowship, enjoyment. “They belong to the clubs in the school, they are a part of the school, and the school becomes part of them. “This is the only place where the first kind of student has the advantage—he feels no heart-breaking sadness when he graduates. Why is it that so many students do not partake of the joys of school life? “There are many reasons. No one enjoys an orange until he tastes it. To a savage who has never seen or tasted an orange the mention of one arouses no delicious anticipation. So it is with our backward students. Never having tried the joys of the school after 3 o'clock, they have no desire to do so. Many students are also shy and backward, and since their classmates take no in- terest in them they go their way unnoticed. “The solu- tion of the problem seems to be for those students who are in the life of the school to meet their back- ward brethren a little more than half way. “The upper classmen should take an interest in the lower class- men. Hazing for the freshmen is a good thing—it creates a fellowship among the freshmen and makes them feel that they are noticed at least. So, those of you who are on the inside, beckon to those on the outside, go out to meet them, give them the glad hand and make them feel they are a par t of the school. Those of you who are on the out- side, strive to get in, make an effort to mingle with your classmates. Taste of the joys of school life. You will get more out of it than you put in. Let us see if the school cannot be filled with a spirit of fel- lowship so thick it can be cut with a knife. Remem- ber the good name of a school rests with her students, and do your little bit to advance her good name. Try it and see; you'll never regret it. CENTRAL BOOKROOM Did you ever realize that one of the most impor- tant problems to contend with in a big institution such as Central is the distributing of books to the entire student body? Miss Hayes, of our office force, is chief manager of the bookroom, and has a student staff under her. The student manager for this year is Monteroy Hal- perin, and his assistants are Sobo, Hahn, and Schmidt. The experience obtained in running a bookroom is a worth-whila opportunity for any student, as mem- ory and speed, play an important part of the day's work. ATTEND THE FRESHMAN | DUAL MEET! MAY 27, 1921 CITY FIELD 3:30 2۶ usa س١‎ = eli ہے‎ IDEALS By ADELE A. DE MOTTE With an impatient exclamation Katherine Duncan rose to answer the telephone. She was in the middle of a very exciting novel and things were going badly with the blonde, blue-eyed heroine. She recognized the voice of her inseparable friend and partner of joys and sorrows, Edith Blake. “Katherine, Katherine, I've found my ideal. I'm coming right over to tell you about it.” And the click of the receiver cut off her excited tones. All thoughts of the unhappy, misguided heroine had vanished from Katherine's curly head. So Edith had found her ideal. For months past Katherine and Edith had held much conversation as to what made up the ideal man, but high school and family life are not conducive to the finding of these same ideals. Edith soon arrived. She was very flushed and breathless and her hat was on backwards. “Oh, Katherine,” she gasped, “he's absolutely wonderful. He's a perfect dream.” “But, who is he, where did you meet him? Tell me all about it.” “Why, Katherine, you've met him. At least, you've seen him. Can't you guess who it is?” “Oh, my, but you're stupid. It's the new history teacher.” “What! “The history teacher? Why, he's “Hasn't he blue eyes and black hair?” “Yes,” admitted Katherine. “Isn't he tall and dignified?” To this question also Katherine was forced to say yes. 6 “Of course,” went on Edith, “I know he wears tortoise-shell glasses, but really they only add to his distinction.” “But he's old,” burst out Katherine, “and he's a teacher. How can you, Edith Blake?” “Well, I don't care what you say. I think he's just grand. I like older men. Young fellows are so silly. And I just know I am going to do won- derful work this term because he inspires me so.” But the entrance of Katherine's brother Jim put an end to the conversation. Jim was at the tender age of nineteen. He liked the girls, and as he was a good looking football hero, the girls liked him. “Hello, girls. Hope I didn't interrupt you. Sup- pose you are discussing what you are going to wear at the June dance. Edith, my child, how would you like me as an escort on the big night?” “Why, Jimmy,” broke in his sister, “that's a who le month off.” “Oh, 1 know that,” Jim replied loftily. “Just thought I'd get my application in early. “What do you say, Edith?” But Edith was up in the clouds. Of course, she reasoned, Jim was good looking and awfully nice, and it would be grand to appear at the dance with him. But she felt lifted far above such a frivolous pastime as dancing. She wondered if HE danced. So all she said was, ““Oh, Jim, it's too soon, yet. I'm not sure that I'm going.” “Well,” said Jim, as he started upstairs to his own quarters, “just keep it in mind.” (Continued on page 41) A, W. 0. L. By VioLa HAMMERSCHLAG Springtime. Balmy air—blue skies. It was one of those days when all nature seems calling. (We are giving this lengthy description in partial defense of the two youthful characters in the story.) Betty's steps lagged as she walked along the cor- ridor. She had managed to endure it for three periods—to sit in class and study, when, with every fibre of her being, she longed to be out in the open air. Betty sighed—how she hated, today of all days, to go to that fourth period Spanish class! Dolefully she began the four flights climb to the upper regions of the building. On the second flight she was joined by Bert. (If this were an allegory instead of a didactic tale we would label him Temptation.) “Hello, Bet,” said Bert. Ba- t “Gosh, I hate like the dickens to go to class.” “Me, too,” assented Betty with more eloquence than grammar. “Let's get a couple of lungfuls of air before we go up, anyway,” Bert suggested. The two stopped at the landing and wistfully peered out of the barred window, which now seemed to take on a new significance. The bell rang out upon the silence. “Holy Mack- erel!” said Bert, “there's the bell.” Then after a moment he added philosophically, “Well, we couldn't go now if we wanted to.” “No,” said Betty, resignedly, “I don't suppose we could.” There was a moment's silence. “I tell you what,” Bert suggested, “let's go to the “Dolly Jefferson’ for a soda.” Betty thrilled. She adored the “Dolly Jefferson” 一 此 was so expensive. “Well”—she faltered, but Bert was already descending the stairway. “Meet you here in two minutes,” he called. But of course it was five minutes before an excited Betty, hatted, coated and powdered, joine d him. It seemed to Betty that two thousand eyes peering from two hundred windows were watching her exit from the halls of learning. Betty felt deliciously wicked. She had deviated from the straight and narrow path. She was a CUT- TER! Unconsciously she pulled her tam further over her face and plunged her hands deeper into long- suffering pockets—she was a desperate character! Awful thought — suppose some watchful eye had really seen her go! Betty glanced admiringly at Bert. That young man was walking nonchalantly along, apparently untroubled by any qualms of con- science as if he were not, at this very moment, due in Junior Spanish. Even at the “Dolly Jefferson,” as she sipped the refreshing soda, Betty cast several wary glances over her shoulder, lest a member of those two vastly im- portant forces, the Family or the Faculty, should appear. An hour later the two delinquents again came in sight of school. Betty was glad to see that the build- ing still appeared the same. Evidently she hadn't been missed and no warrants had as yet been issued for her arrest. She began to feel somewhat relieved and intensely important. She had joined the vast army of the erring and up to now she had “gotten away with it.” No one seemed shocked at her entrance in the lunchroom. Betty began entirely to forget her esca- pade. As for the slip that Mr. Oaura, the Spanish teacher, would require on the morrow— why worry twenty-four hours ahead of time? So much might happen in one day. Mr. Oaura might be absent— Betty remembered that he had a slight cold—and they might even have movies the fourth—all events which would defer the evil hour of reckoning. But—when Betty reported to her home room at the end of the noon period she was presented with an official looking document with which most of us, except the hyper-virtuous, are familiar, in the form of a slip ordering her to appear at Mr. Sanford's office at 1:20. The letters danced in myriads be- fore her eyes. It had come—the summons! So they knew all! With palpitating heart and faltering footsteps, Betty wended her way to the dread office of Mr. Sanford. That gentleman leveled his usual austere gaze upon the culprit. Betty shifted from one foot to the other. It flashed across her mind that “An honest confession is good for the soul.” Better to begin immediately—perhaps. she might appeal to this man’s sense of humor. Perchance he, too, had felt the call of Spring. “一 it was the first time, Mr. Sanford,” she be- gan. “And—well”—Mr, Sanford glanced at Betty piercingly. “And—well—the weather is so beautiful, I just couldn't resist 一 it wasn't so hard, Betty reflected, after you got started. “Hm”—murmured Mr. Sanford. “It was just for one period and”— (Continued on page 46) SHAKING HANDS WITH THE PRESIDENT By ELsIE FUGELSTAD All aboard for Washington. It was on Saturday, the 19th of March, that I left on the 10:30 Capital Express. The trip was an interesting one, and long to be remembered. In Delaware and Maryland the fruit trees were in full bloom, and once in a while a group of children could be seen gathering wild flowers. Well, that was al! well and good, but when the announcement “Washington” passed through the train a great thrill of joy took possession of me. I had waited for the word for five hours, and now at last I was there—Washington, the capital of the United States, with its magnificent buildings, beauti- ful parks, and wonderful hotels. The ten days that I was there passed very quickly, as my time was taken up very much with sightseeing and observing the numerous places of interest. What about Washington monument? Yes, I was there, but not only was I satisfied to visit it, but I insisted upon walking up the 999 steps. It took one-half hour to climb the seemingly endless staircase, but once its height of 555 feet was reached a more wonderful pea view could never be seen. The day was very clear, fM and so enabled one to get a bird's-eye view of Wash- gm .f Ml ington and its neighboring states. In Washington “See. kad] an expression of the Nation’s life may be seen. The dome of the capitol is a thing of surpassing beauty. Its appeal is not alone that of architectural grace; it is a visible symbol of the Republic. In its beauty, strength, security, and permanence is typified all that America means to us—and so, with the assistance of a guide, I was taken through the capitol, the area of which is over three and one-half acres. First, I was taken to the rotunda, then visited the Hall of Statuary, the Hall of Representatives and its rooms, the Senate Chamber, the President's Room and the Supreme Court, where Chief Justice White sat as noble looking as the Rock of Gibraltar. Every- where richness of construction and wealth of decora- tion could be seen. “The rotunda portico is the scene of the inauguration; there the President takes the oath of office and delivers the inaugural address. The guide emphasized that it was where Lincoln delivered the second inaugural address on March 4, 1865. But time is flying, and it would require a volume for me to tell you the other numerous attractions in Washington which I had the opportunity to see. However, another point of interest I must bring out, which to me is the most important one. You all, no doubt, are fami liar with pictures of the Executive TOCOL issit (Continued on page 47) THE TELEGRAM By HERBERT SHAPIRO It is not generally realized that mail communica- tions while being transmitted over railroads to quite nearby points consume twenty-four hours, or one day. This means that while that letter is on its way the transaction to which it relates is at a standstill and its ultimate consummation is retarded by twenty- four hours of dead time. It is obvious, therefore, that such means of com- munication will not do for important matters such as negotiations, offers, and orders. Aside from this a letter has not the attention-compelling properties of the telegram. Hence, in such classes of service the telegram is used instead of the mail. Twenty years ago a telegram would cause one to tremble with apprehension for fear it portended sick- ness or death. “Today, it means action the same day. The telegram is a live, husky method of communi- cating your views to the length and breadth of the United States, in from fifteen minutes to one hour. As a practical illustration, let us write out a tele- gram. If we have no telegraph forms a plain sheet of paper will do. We have a mutual friend in Cali- fornia—a very likable girl who will be married this evening at 8 o'clock. Let us send the following: Newark, N. J., May, 1921. Mr. and Mrs. A. Moore, 26 White Street, San Francisco, Calif, May all good fairies watch over you. May they keep far from you all care and sorrow and brighten your path with sunshine and happiness. 25 words. You AND I. Because of the difference in time (three hours earlier), she will receive this telegram before it is sent, When this telegram was handed to the telegraph office in Newark it was placed on the desk of the New York wire. An operator immediately typed this message on the printing telegraph and it was repro- duced in the New York office. That office took the message in tum and placed it on the desk of the California wire, where it followed the same course as from Newark. , This wire between San Francisco and New York City is connected by instruments hundreds of miles apart. These instruments are necessary in order to maintain a balance throughout the long distance of three thousand miles. In San Francisco the operator takes from the type- writer this telegram after it is printed from the New York end. It is then copied with damp impression paper, run through a motor wringer, numbered to identify it, enveloped and handed to a messenger for delivery. Telegrams of this nature are never tele- phoned at the distant end. When the messenger secures a signature for this telegram the transaction is completed. The senders, You and I, have caused to be conveyed a sentiment that will be cherished, let us hope, to the end. One need not become wedded to receive a tele- gram. You and I can send a New Year's greet- ing, an Easter greeting, Thanksg iving Day greeting, Christmas, birthday, messages to school or college graduates, and, best of all, greetings on Mothers’ Day. Let us send one on Mothers' Day. Newark, N. J., May 8, 1921. Mrs. James Jones, 1046 Jones Street, Forestville, N. J. On this Mothers’ Day the opening of flowers and the awakening of Spring speaks to me of you. May happiness attend you always. 22 words. You or I. It is the same with money. You do not have to take into account time, delays or uncertainty when you send money by telegraph. You simply deposit the cash at the telegraph office and in almost a mat- ter of minutes the amount is paid in cash to the person you have named to receive it. No one away from home should be long without funds. A simple matter of a telegram. Over the lines of the Westem Union, one hundred million dollars is transferred annually. One of the recent advantages of the telegram is recognized by merchants who keep a daily check on all stock and telegraph small orders for goods run- ning low. You can figure it out for yourself why he does this. On the upper left-hand corner of a Western Union telegraph blank there are listed four classes of service, as follows: TELEGRAM This is the standard service, which takes precedence over other classes of traffic. Code language may be employed. DAY LETTER A deferred day service at reduced rates. Takes fifty words at cost of one and one- half times the cost of a ten-word telegram. Code language not admitted.

I was slowly wending my way homeward, my mind filled with thoughts of gradua- tion. And then after graduation, I reflected, what? I could already see, in my mind’s eye, the white- clad girls and seemingly unruffled boys, on the eve of graduation. I was imagining the coveted diploma already in my hand, the music, the fond friends and relatives, the scent of flowers— “Hands up!” came a gruff voice. I came back to earth with a bang. My blood seemed to congeal, my voice stuck in my throat. A gentle rap on the head—then bells, clanging, banging bells—myriads of stars— The turf seemed to rise and hit my head. Loud jangling music which grew softer—softer— then blackness. xe A +$ os “n ےہ‎ $ The tinkling of a bell. I felt some one gently awakening me. Reluctantly, I opened my eyes to see my maid standing at my bedside. She handed me a card which read: DOROTHY MULGRAVE, EDITOR OF THE “MORNING MOON.” I looked about me. . It was my frst morning in Metriopolis, whence I had come to get atmosphere for my new novel, “Burnt Orange and Henna.” I observed that the day was just breaking. How like the busy Dot to choose 5:30 as a calling hour. I rushed in, overjoyed to see her. There she stood, portfolio and books in one hand, umbrella and sundry other articles fiercely clutched in the other. “Hello, Vi,” she said. “I'm in a great hurry. I have to drop in at the office at 6, before copy goes to press. l am due at a directors' meeting at 7:30; at 8 I must address a school on newspaper work; at 9 I kave— ” “Stop!” I cried. “Tell me some news. you seen any June 21's lately?” ° , Oh. yes. A good many of them have settled right here in Metriopolis. I don't often take a day off, but for old time's sake I'll show you around the town and we can visit some Centralites.” Have Knowing from past experience that, barring aero- planes, racing cars and the like, Dot could cover more ground in one day than any other known human agency, I consented to go with her, though I could picture myself bedraggled and weary at the end of the day. In several minutes I joined Dot, and after she had ‘phoned her private secretary, Joseph Powers, his in- structions for the day, we set out. We made our first stop at Lamont Calder's church, where that young man was conducting special serv- ices. I learned that the advent of this blond young pastor was marked by the increasingly regular at- t endance of the fair sex, who were no longer bored by the sermons. Few knew that the brown-eyed young lady, seated in the first pew, gazing at the pulpit with such rapt attention, was Mrs. Calder, formerly known as Albertina Frank. I noticed Hazel Stadelhofer and Genevieve Praiz- ner in the choir. “The secular atmosphere had evi- dently not had a chastening effect on Hazel, who winked at me as I passed. We next visited a place of an utterly different character, namely, the studios of the Sobstuff Film Co., of which Jack Wohlreich was president. In the first studio 1 saw Alwina Kays and Evelyn Wex- ler, who were co-starring in the tear-impelling drama, “Sisterly Love,” in seven parts, shrieking and glaring at each other. Alwina demanded an orchid limousine for the elopement scene, while Evelyn held out for jade, which, she felt sure, would be more striking in the picture. Maurice Turkinitch, the director, was pacing the floor and crying out with a despairing gesture, “You tell 'em, com flakes, I'm grape nuts,” but 1 hurried on. In the rear of the building, where the properties were stored, was Herbert Shapiro, seated on top of a barrel, eagerly perusing the “Want Ads” column. “S' matter, Herbie?” I asked. “Oh, I'm just looking to see if some telegraph company needs a president,” he responded. Beatrice Levinson was nurse of this establishment. Ske ministered to those who sustained injuries in the Ford chases and suicide scenes. Just asa matter of interest, let me add that Turkenitch, though never taking part in any dare-devil stunts himself, always got mixed up in the scenery somehow and inconsid- erately allowed ladders and the like to fall on him, thus managing to get at least one smashed head or fractured finger per day. He bore these injuries with a grin, which became more pronounced as the calm, cool, collected Beatrice arrived with her first-aid kit. Kenneth Schlenker was one òf the most popular juveniles—the second Charles Hooray of the screen. It required the services of four secretaries—Esther Cohn, Matilda Daitch, Adeline Gansl and Adele Wilson—to answer the scented notes which Kenneth received daily. Ruth Leser had developed into a real Fluise La- zenda, whose feats were the wonder of the age. Joseph Moriarity had been her leading man before becoming a politician. Margaret Greenbaum was art director of the Sob- stuff Co. As I walked through the business offices I noticed Fannie Graw, Pauline Fox, Ida Dlugitch, and Lenora Donner chewing gum in time with the typewriters at which they were busily working. Ruth Hodecker was head bookkeeper and Bernard Firth, the accountant, spent his entire time in figuring out the income tax of this thriving concern. Having gleaned a lot of interesting information, Dot and I proceeded on our way. Once more on the street, 1 clutched Dot's arm and cried out: “O, Dot, look at that cute little boy coming toward us! No, it's a sandwich man.” Drawing near, I recognized this strange object as Paul Lustbader, who still retained his “baby stare.” Paul was advertising “Mellin's Baby Food,” and was placarded with signs which read, “Children shriek for it,” “I was brought up on this,” etc. Further along we encountered Ida Sacks and Mil- dred Stein, who made two charming Salvation Army lassies. Our next stop was at Joseph Howland's Academy of Hearts and Appliances. Joseph himself showed us around the building. I was very much gratified to hear that dancing was one of the most important subjects, required in every course. Alice Suplansky was head of this department, with Hannah Wilson and Elsie Samowitz as assistants. The athletic coach was Allan Smullen, who turned out championship teams. Coumont was in charge of the teaching of French. Robert still possessed his shock of henna hair, but he now affected a flowing blue tie and velvet Norfolk Jacket, which made him look quite aesthetic. Charlotte Kropke taught typewriting; Philip Spector and Helen Gordon, mathematics, and Latin. and Esther Furst, biology. Sylvia Baylis and Hilda Zuckerman were two Centralites who were Joseph's ofice force. They confided to me that their chief was kind but firm, but that he inspired great awe in his pupils. Joseph told us that four of our Class had entered politics. Moriarity was Ambassador to the “Irish Republic,” Eva Harkavy was in Congress, while Dorothy White was a prominent Suffragette and Bertha Richman was head of the local Woman's Temperance Union. Madeleine Saul, I was told, simply lived among books. She was head of the Metriopolis Public Library, which we next visited. Bessie Malcow, Rose Davidson, Doris Lapow, and Florence Kiernan occupied important positions there. Albert Brown ran errands for Madeleine. His track experience stood him in good stead and he confided to me that Madeleine kept him pretty busy. On our way from the library we stopped at an art exhibition, where we saw several paintings by ou: own Doris Hupp, the famous portrait and landscape painter. Now Doris was reaping the rewards of her labor. Not for naught had she remained in the home-room during lunch period, assiduously studying large volumes on art while the rest of us frittered away our time and munched ice-cream cones. As we walked along we noticed “Ye-Up-To-The- Minute Blouse and Gowne Shoppe,” conducted by Esther Stein, our class fashion plate, and Regina Herschaft, whose numerous rainbow-colored blouses had been the wonder of all of us in high school days. Dot and I presently decided to partake of a little nourishment, so we stopped at Sam Davis's ““Takea- chance Ice-Cream Emporium,” where Jack Steinberg, Herbert Meyer, and Harry Cohn were employed to serve all sorts of ambrosial concoctions. Harry slyly added an extra scoop of cream to our sodas. That's when friendship and class loyalty really count. I re- member that Jack always had a propensity for swee! things. Further along we saw Joe Schocket, dressed in a fetching white uniform. At first 1 could not decide whether he was a chief petty officer or a waiter, but finally noted that he was engaged in pasting up bill- posters. The first one of these advertised the Anti- Bald Hair Tonic, and I recognized the pictured maiden with the abundant tresses as Edna Graah. The other poster announced Sam Finkel's concert to be held that same evening. We decided to go As we entered the crowded concert hall we met Samuel Goodman, Elbert Letwinks and Albert Meyer, who were reporters on Dorothy's paper.

DEAR PARENTS: Much of life's advantage lies in grasping oppor- tunities and privileges when they are presented. The wise do not wait for opportunity to knock at their door, but prepare by hard work and effort an environ- ment which will bring opportunity. The most im- portant thing in life therefore is to recognize and take advantage of privileges for educational and material advancement when they are at hand. Your children are extended the means of completing a four year high school course in three years, with thoroughness and educational power, and without physical or mental strain. How has your child in the past made use of the two months’ summer vacation? Has your child come back to school better able to continue school work or did the summer vacation result in the ensour- agement of indifference towards education and its opportunities. A two months’ vacation has been acknowledged to be a bad feature in our American school life because it breaks down intellectual habits which required a whole school year to form. A school year composed of four three-month terms of twelve weeks each with a summer vacation of about three weeks has already proved itself an economic feature of approved educa- tional administration.

CHAPTER I. “The Flies that Bloom in the Spring, tra, la.” Professor McFossil, the greatest scientist of five continents, five oceans, and five canals, paced up and down the room in deep agitation, which was not quite so deep when he sat down. He was the president of that noble organization, the Society for the Extermination of Flies, a benefit to long-suffering humanity, and a plague to the fy- paper factories. As quickly as the society extermin- ated flies, so quickly were the fly-paper factories ex- terminated, until only one lonely fly remained on the face of the earth and the fly-paper factories were seen no more. “Ah, ha! as Snooping Snell the defective detec- tive would have said, “I have solved the mystery. The missing fly is the cause of the professor's deep agitation.” “Right you be, Snooping Snell.” Now that the mystery is cleared, let us return to the professor. “The fly must be located,” he muttered. “If it is not found in time it will breed millions of others and my great life's work will be undone—will be un- done.” The bitter tears of frustrated hope rolled down his cheeks and splashed into his new silk hat which re- posed on the floor. All absent-minded professors hang their hats, coats, and ear muffs on the floor. Tis nothing strange. The door opened and the dashing young Charles McFossil dashed breathlessly into the room. “Father, father,” he cried, “I have seen the fly.” “At last, at last,” cried the feeble old man, over- come with joy, and he sank to a soft spot on the floor. Charley gave him a rousing punch on the back and set him up straight again. “My son, my son,” he said, “where did you see the fy?” “My father, my father,” answered the son, ٦ peeked through a telescope and saw it in the land of Russia.” “What was it doing?” “It was sitting on a milk bottle and basking itself in the sun.” “To Russia, to Russia,” exclaimed the excited professor. “Let us fly before it is too late.” The two men stepped into their aeroplane, which was propelled by the motive power of a few raisins, yeast, sugar, etc., and flew away to Russia, leaving a cloud of dust and the odor of home brew behind them. CHAPTER II. “In Darkest Russia” The tw o McFossils anchored in the flourishing town of Smellumcheesniff and were impressed by the free and easy life of the townsfolk. Here we see respectable lady Bolshevicks, with bobbed hair, chew- ing gum in public. “There we see carefree children playfully killing each other in games of Lenine and Trotsky. How sweet are the games of Russian child- hood! Professor McFossil was graciously received by Ob: schestvo Diachestreblvo (the Russian branch of the Society for the Extermination of Flies) with much ceremony and vodka. Ata meeting it was finally de- cided that a reward of ten thousand rubles should be rewarded for the capture of the missing fly, dead or alive. Justice must be did. The severe mental strain and vodka of the last few hours have greatly fatigued our worthy professor and he retumed to the restful privacy of his hotel rooms with a sigh of relief. He contentedly sank back in the welcome depths of a Russian bench and thought kind thoughts about tapestry fumiture back home. (Elapse of time) A few hours later, behold this same dignified sci- entist behaving like a veritable old oil tank in a smash- up crusade. But hold! “We are slightly ahead of the game. Wherefore such exhibition of rage? How come? Wall—it was thisaway. It seems that our Charley, during his father's absence, picked himself up and eloped with a Russian ballet dancer. “When first he beheld Sonia's graceful form at a performance of the “Ballet of the Kippered Herring,’ he loved her. So would we all have loved her. It was after Charley brought home his blushing bride that the newly-made and unappreciative father-in-law flew into a fit of rage and began to bust up the furniture. The professor invariably lapsed into the tongue of his fathers when angered by Charley's escapades. especially whenever Charley eloped. He spake thus to his son: “Ye blitherin idiot. What diminstrashun of non- sinsical nonsince is it that yev run off wid the likes ave that interferin’ bit of woman? Shure yer a discindint av Mulvaney McFossil of the Brooklyn Dhragoon and yer black deed is a blight on his name foriver. Get on wid ye, and b'gorra, niver agin let me see yer bloomin' continince in this room—or any other room either.” (Continued on page 49) Q 0 Ne Q A U Ne ayen ° a a 0 - Senior NAME Baylis, Sylvia Block, Florence Brown, Albert Calder, La Mont Cohn, Harry Cohen, Esther Daitch, Matilda Davidson, Rose Davis, Samuel Dlugitch, Ida Donner, Lenora Firth, Bernard Finkel, Samuel Fox, Pauline Frank, Albertina Furst, Esther Gansl, Adeline Goodman, Samuel Gorden, Helen Graah, Edna Graw, Fannie Greenbaum, Marguerite Hammerschlag, Viola Harkavey, Eva Herschaft, Regina Hodecker, Ruth Howland, Joseph Hupp, Doris Kays, Alwina Kropke, Charlotte Lapow, Doris Leser, Ruth Letwinks, Elbert Levenson, Beatrice Lustbader, Paul Malcow, Bessie Markowitz, Bella Meyer, Albert Meyer, Herbert Moriarty, Joseph Mulgrave, Dorothy Powers, Joseph Praizner, Genevieve Richman, Bertha Robertson, Alice Sachs, Ida Samowitz, Elsie Saul, Madeleine Schlenker, Kenneth Schocket, Joseph Shapiro.

A Hole in the Lin: Midnight Oil Vamped Slid Studied Danced Overlooked Rushed Looks Naturally Silence Worried Strolled Typed THE HEART OF CHAIEM BARUSCH By REBECCA STERNBERG A huge, middle-aged man was standing in the kitchen near the table, one rough hand leaning on the back of a cheap chair which had long since ceased to moum the departure of varnish. “No!” he thundered. “Then he repeated the syl- lable in veritable detonation. For a brief space of time the boy of about eighteen at his side wavered, and then brokenly, in tremulous jerks came the words: “I must, I must go to college . It is my life!” Chaiem Barusch remained standing. Absently he gazed at the hard, colorless wall in front of him. Scenes of life he knew of persisted in intruding on the vision of his mind. Suddenly the Jew shook off the thoughtfulness that threatened to envelope him. He hastily proceeded to put himself into motion: rolled up further the sleeves of his cheap cotton shirt, then pulled them down a bit; walked over to the closet, changed his mind and went back to the table. But his mood overcame al! intentions, and shutting his eyes tightly, as if once again attempting to keep from view terrible sights, with head thrust upward, face ceiling-ward, and hands far behind his back, Chaiem Barusch strode about the room, his heavy, ludicrously large shoes making much noise. Finally he stopped at the window. Chaiem owned a vegetable and fruit stand on Prince Street, midway between the Avenue and an- other street crowded with pushcarts. The money he managed to make was secured only by great effort. A giant in stature was Chaiem, about six feet in height and broad in good proportion. The man's features were not typical of his race: they were coarse and prominent, from the heavy upturned nose to the thick yet set lips, and the massive jaw. The eyes were strong, magnetic even, but ever narrowed. The powerful Jew's appearance betokened, assuredly, no delicacy, no finesse, nor sentimentality. Chaiem Ba- rusch seemed the exemplar of brutality; his face, figure, attire stamped him so. The man sat down at the table, and putting his hairy arms on it, dropped his head on them. In this position he reviewed the life of his nephew. The young fellow had been orphaned at an early age. He had been the only child of Chaiem's sister. Brother and sister were separated by several thousand miles, yet they had loved each other so dearly! But circumstances set a d eep and wide ocean between them; yet their two souls, which were one, endured not yet “A breach, but an expansion, Like gold to airy thinness beat.” When the sister had died, and her husband, too, David Weissman had been sent for by Chaiem. It was now twelve years that David had been living with his uncle; more than a decade of fear often, work ever, pleasure seldom. And now David had been graduated from the Central High School. “True, the boy had not sailed through with little toil. Be- fore school and after school, the lad had helped his uncle. Often he could barely stand on his feet, so tired was he, yet homework had to be done, some housework, too, before David could drop exhausted into his creaky bed in the cheerless small room that was his. For twelve years had Chaiem and David lived to- gether alone. Chaiem scorned the efforts of his fellow- men to befriend him. He moved alone—in terrible lonesomeness—as if one dead, moving and existing automatically. Now David wanted to go to college. He had passed high school with an exceptionally good record. Chaiem felt very bitter. He felt that kindness had brought no thanks; helpfulness, no recompense; work- ing for ideals, no recognitio n. David should be the replica of himself—a misanthrope—but the boy was not to be molded. Often he would lapse into mel- ancholy moments, as his uncle, but they passed, and then despite everlasting work, few, if any, pleasures, the youth became bright of visage, and happy. “Why happy? For no other reason than because of the joy of being alive, and young, and strong. His gaiety, at such times, irritated the older man. The cynic feared that his one connection with the world, his nephew, would be lost to him if the boy went to college. He would become educated, and despise him, his rough uncle; he would leave him. “Then he, Chaiem, would have no shade of a purpose to exist further. Thus did Chaiem try to keep David to him- self—with a fierce tenacity. The Jew raised his head from his arms on the table, his tired eyes looking wearily about. He be- thought himself of the boy's piteous face, and his heart softened. No! College would not take his boy from him. David would not go to any colleges. He should not—not, NOT! NO. A thousand times NO! The man glanced at the loudly ticking alarm clock on the mantelpiece, over the stove. It was after mid- night, many hours later than the usual time of re- uring. There was no gas in the bedrooms, so Chaiem lit the lamp, turned off the flickering, dim gaslight, and (Continued on page 49) ED.

The names them- selves would not cause anyone to weep, but the truth of the matter is that they are some of the very best workers on Central's envious Honor Roll of ath- letes. This alone is no just cause to weep, but the trouble is that they are graduating in May, thus the cause of weeping. Captain Smullen was the star of the City Cham- pionships football team and it will surely take a crackerjack to fill his place on the line. Albert Brown was the class of the lot when it came to sprinting. Albert was often unable to com- pete, but whenever he did run he certainly did show some class and fighting spirit. Maurice Turkenitch was a cross-country runner, and also a member of various winning class relay teams. To Adeline Gansl and Hilda Zuckerman the Girls’ A. A. owes much of their success. Adeline and Hilda were certainly hard workers and will be more than a little missed by their organization. Though Lamont Calder and Joseph Powers are not runners, their services as manager and assistant manager are greatly appreciated and will certainly be missed by the track team. BASEBALL PROSPECTS The best collection of hard hitters, clever felders and daring base runners that has ever represented the “Blue and White” on the diamond is the way Cap- tain Leamy describes this year's baseball team. And a fitting description it is. The line-up of the team is as follows First base, Meyer Rosenberg, captain of the basketball quintet in '20; second base, Gordon, who looms up strong both at bat and in the field; CENTRAL WINS When Central's cohorts traveled to Jersey City to play Dickinson High of that city they did not go in vain, for they started the season with a winning game. Lenny Jacobs, our crack moundsman, seemed to be in a mid-season form and struck out twelve Dick- inson men and kept their hits well scattered. The shortstop, Fiore, a wonder at fielding and at the bat; third base, Pete Rizzolo, who shapes up as the best that has ever represented Central at the “hot corner” ; left field. Bauman, our versatile athlete; center field, Fahy, a “freshman” that is a “comer”; r ight field, Julian, a stick wielder of no mean ability; catcher, Captain Leamy, a most reliable backstop; pitcher, Jacobs, the shut-out artist. The “subs” are: Skin- ner, Woerner and Rasnick. OPENING GAME batting of Bauman and Rizzolo for Central featured the game. The game was hard fought throughout, with Central on the long end of a 9-6 score. By the initial showing of our team it looks as though another title will be brought to Central. 38 BASKETBALL TEAM BASKETBALL REVIEW Twelve games won and five games lost, and semi- finalists in the State Championship Basketball Tour- nament, is the record of the Blue and White basket- ball team for the past season. Despite a poor start, in which three of the first five games were lost, the team showed power in winning ten of the last twelve games. In glancing at the following statistics it must b remembered that the guards, as a rule, form th defensive part of the team, and, therefore, they wi not be represented by a large score. The forward and center, on the other hand, form the scoring unit of the team. A player's worth to his team is not judged wholly by the number of points he scores, but in the manne in which he sacrifices his “self” for the benefit o the team.

Position sy‏ دیا یج ہت دن ی THE TOURNAMENT GAMES Entering the State Championship Basketball Tour- nament minus the services of Tischler, our crack guard, our team was not expected, even by its most optimistic supporters, to go further than the first round. Our boys, however, were out “'to do or die,” and imbued with this spirit, they met and defeated Cliffside, Northern Interscholastic League champion, in a hard-fought battle by a score of 29-24. In the second round we were pitted against Boonton, and again our boys come out victors, this time by a score of 34-29. In the finals of the preliminaries the team upset all dope by handing Montc lair their sec- ond defeat in twenty-five games. At Rutgers, in the finals, we were defeated by Trenton High's quintet, in what was considered the best contested game in the tournament, by one point, the score reading 28-27. CENTRAL DEFEATS CALDWELL In the first home game of the season our baseball team defeated Caldwell High's diamond performers, 1-0. “The game developed into a pitchers’ battle between Lenny Jacobs, of Central and Lucas, the Caldwell ace. Jacobs allowed but two hits, while Central garnered seven well-placed hits. Central 39 single over second scored Leamy, who had previously singled and stole second. Captain Leamy, Jacobs, and Bauman played best for Central, while Lucas’ all round performances featured for Caldwell. THE SOUTH SIDE GAME In a game that was replete with thrills, and in which both teams exhibited an unusual brand of base- ball, the Central High baseball team defeated South Side's representatives, 2-1. “The outstanding features of the game were the superb twirling of both opposing pitchers, Jacobs and Howely, and Gordan's sensa- tional catch in the sixth inning. It was in the eighth inning that our boys scored both their runs and broke up a close pitchers’ battle. Gordan started off this inning with a” two-base slant to center.

This will be the first year for the outdoor “champs” and it will mean more prestige for Central to be victorious in this. The boys and Mr. Schneider are doing all in their power to make this a banner year for Central winner of the and ask only the support of all Centralites, which includes the students and faculty. Central is entered in the following races: Penn. Relay Carnival. Princeton Annual Interscholastic Meet. National Interscholastic Outdoor Championship Philadelphia. New Jersey State Meet. City Meet. SOME RACE “They crossed the tape like a team.” That is the way the Buffalo Courier described the finish of the special one-mile relay race between the Hutchin- son Central of Buffalo and our own relay team. All that we can say about the race is that the boys certainly ran a fine race, and the mere fact that they lost in the cleanest and best race that ever took place is no disgrace. CENTRAL SHOWS CHAMPIONSHIP FORM Central defeated Barringer by the score of 10 to 0 on Tuesday, April 26. This is the fifth victory out of as many games played by the team.

When Mr. Brown (ves, his name was merely Brown) smiled, she was happy; when he frowned, she was morose. Katherine found Edith a very poor friend during this painful period. No matter what subject was under discussion, the talk would veer around to that perfect darling, Mr. Brown. He had praised Edith's work, he had a new suit, he had walked down-town with her, and on and on and on, just réams and reams of it. Katherine grew weary and disgusted with it all, and decided that she was through with ideals if this was the way they affected one. Time passed, and the weather grew warmer, and the dance grew nearer, but Edith remained in the clouds and Jim remained deep in baseball matters. He had, to all appearances, entirely forgotten the fair sex. One very warm day Katherine and Edith met in the cloak-room and after consulting pocketbooks, de- cided to go down-town for a “frappe.” As they passed that famous, red-fronted, bargain-hunter's de- light, the ten-cent store, Edith discovered her ter- rible crying need of a hair-net, so they went in. While Edith waited for her change, the two dis- cussed the very plebeian aspect of the place. Edith began, “Now, Mr. Brown says ” but Katherine interrupted. as it was at this game. The team played errorless ball, and connected for fifteen safe swats, seven of them being for extra bases. Jacobs, out star twirler, allowed the Barringer batters but two safe hits and walked but one man. This is how they did it: BARRINGER Malanga, c. Kelley, s. s. Barney, Ib .... ee RENE: ee Witt, p.

He's with that woman and baby. “They're coming this way.” The two stood still and watched the approach of Mr. Brown, one woman, one little boy, one little girl, and one child in arms. “It's his sister,” came in a faint voice from Edith. “I know he has a married sister.” But alas and alack, as the party grew nearer, the small boy cried out, and the cry seemed to denote good lungs. “Daddy, are you going to buy me some candy? Daddy, you promised you would. Didn't he, mother?” in another shriek, directed towards the lady. But Edith could stand no more, and with an agonized look m the direction of Mr. Brown, en famille, she grabbed Katherine's arm and dashed out of the store. “Well,” said the salesgirl, as she transferred her gum to the other cheek, “that girl went off and left her hair-net, and change, too. “Well, some people are funny, anyway.” Again the telephone comes into our story, this time in the Blake residence some three hours after the last incident. A somewhat chastened Edith rose to an- swer it. Jim Duncan's cheerful tones greeted her. “Oh, I say, Edith, you haven't forgotten the June dance?” (Continued on page 46) THE MORNING FORUM This department is devoted to the interests of public speaking in Central, being not only a record of all speeches given in the auditorium, but an encouragement and friendly criticism for the benefit of our budding orators. iia Ben BLUM, “Dance,” March 3—We appre- ciated your usual rousing talk, Blum. VALERIE LEUKOWITZ, “Barnstormers’ Plays,” March 4—We all enjoyed your talk, Valerie, for you spoke in such clear and pleasant tones. ERDMAN Carr, “Picking People for the Who's Who,” March 7 一 Your topic was useful and inter- esting. It was delivered in a clear voice, but you made the mistake of not using gestures. You also mispronounced the word “just.” WILBUR THIELE, “The Evolution of the Pen,” April II—You had your topic well in hand and spoke well. EDWARD KRASNY, “Dance,” April 11 一 Like all your other talks, “Ed,” it was business-like from be- ginning to end. EMILY PRACH, “The Alaskan Crab Industry,” March 8— You presented your topic very well, but you were somewhat nervous. “Try to overcome this handicap to improve in speaking. Eva GERBINSKY, “Mrs. Harding's Job,” March 8 一 Your subject was very interesting, also well de- livered. GORDON SUMMINDS, “Lighthousés and Their Perils, March 8—You spoke with much ease and fluency, using a clear, distinct voice. BEN BLUM, “Dance,” March 8—You were up to your usual standard in presenting your address, Blum. HARoLD BERLA, “Game,” March 9 一 Your speech, judging by the attendance at the game, caused many students to be there. ALFRED LIPSCHULTZ, “Life and Play in Porto Rico,” March 9— You gave us some interesting and amusing facts about Porto Rico. However, you did not speak loudly enough to be heard all over the audi- torium. “The range of your voice increased as you continued your remarks. RUTH GREENFIELD, “San Francisco's China- town,” March 9—You delivered your talk in an excellent manner. The tone of your voice was clear and distinct. You appeared to be very much at ease on the platform. BEN Baskin, “Porto Rico — The Tourist's Haven””—Your nervousness and utter lack of conf- dence marred your talk. You also gave your salu- tation incorrectly by addressing the students before mentioning the faculty. MR. Lesser, “Play,” March 9 一 We are sure, Mr. Lesser, your talk helped the sale of tickets greatly. MABEL HALSTEAD, “Clean -Up Week, March 10—Your talk persuaded all Centralites to show more pride in the cleanliness of their school. Leo FISHGRUND, “Dance,” March |l—Your talk with its touch of novelty was enjoyed immensely. Your “miniature act’ was great. We must also give credit to Axt, who played the piano so well. It accomplished its purpose by bringing the students to the dance. LENORE MENDEL, “The Clean-Up Campaign,” March 14— Your talk was well delivered and had its desired effect, that is, it impressed upon us keeping Central clean. HENRY GOLDBERG, “Dance,” March 14— A good talk on-the afternoon dances is always appre- ciated. ELENA HAVIAX, “The Charm of the English Vil- lage,” March 14— You chose an interesting topic, but your voice was very indistinct. IRVING BLum, “4B Dance,” March 15—Talks on dances come and go, but they are not all as well delivered as yours. Your description of a dance orchestra was wonderful. MR. SNODGRASS, “Play,” March 15—We en- joyed your talk, Mr. Snodgrass, and will surely profit by it. EUGENE KATZIN, “Salesmanship,” March |7— Your talk was well delivered and developed, but you could have improved on it by speaking a trifle louder. LESLIE BARTON, “The Construction of the Ve- hicular Tunnel,” March 17— Your talk showed careful thought and preparation, but your topic was not interesting enough to hold the attention of the audience. pt oT Harry MELTZER, “Relay Team,” March |7— Although there wasn't much to your talk, it was full of “pep” and aroused us to cheer heartily for the boys of the Relay Team. LESLIE Picot, “Hon. Champ Clark,” March 18 — Y our talk was excellently prepared, but the rather monotonous tone of voice in which you spoke spoiled the effect. “You also forgot your salutation. Ira KANOWITH, “Dance,” March 18—We all enjoyed your snappy talk. TILLIE LEVINE, “Spring and Fresh Air,” March 18— Your talk was exceedingly interesting. How- ever, try to speak a trifle louder, Tillie. JAMES RUSSAMANO, “Came,” March 18—A talk full of snap, “Jimmie.” ERNEST ZWIGARD, “Central's Ascent in Athlet- ics,” March 18—Y our topic and treatment of it was very interesting, but there was much to be desired in your position, as you did not stand still enough. Rose GREENSTEIN, “The English Educational System,” March 29— Your enunciation was not clear enough for everyone to appreciate your talk. VIRGINIA SHIPMAN, “English Dress During the Eighteenth Century, March 29 — Your talk was cleverly prepared, but the manner in which you walked up on the platform and conducted yourself there was entirely too stiff and rigid. CHARLES GIESKE, “Knowing the Birds,” March 29— Y our talk was appreciated by all because of its clear and forceful delivery. Your posture was not as good as it might have been. Don't say, “I thank you,” at the end. BELLE WEINSTEIN, “Movies, Their Practicabil- ity,” March 29—You showed an excellent knowl- edge of your topic, but you forgot your salutation.

Everest,' March 31—A rather dull topic, but well delivered. SARAH MICHAELS, “Existing Conditions in China,” March 31—You spoke on a timely topic, but you should try to overcome your nervousness. ANNA HALPERIN, “The Dictionary,” March 30 — Y our voice did not carry far enough to be heard by everyone, therefore your delivery was hampered.

YETTA WiLson, “Interesting Facts in the His- tory of Shorthand, April 4 一 The same old story: the range of your voice was much too low. SADIE ROTHMAN, “The Pivot,” April 4— You were very sincere in your desire to boost PIVOT sales. SOPHIE GELBOND, “Some Famous Pianists,” April 5—Your enunciation was very indistinct.

Leo FISHGRUND, “Dance,” April 8—Your talk was excellent and businesslike. We do not hesitate in classifying it as the best dance talk delivered this term. HAZEL SCHAEFER, “Re-enlistment for the Girls’ A. A.” —Your appeal to the girls would have been much more effective had you not read your talk.

Leo FISHGRUND, “Dance,” April 12—“Lee,” your talk was full of wit and humor. You proved to us that you can give both solemn and humorous talks. 43 Twas Ever Thus 1 How great the fear, How large the tear, When someone near Said, “Listen here: Tomorrow, dear, Start your first year 一 At High School.” 2 A year rolled by— It sure did fly, With subjects dry And marks not high.

Perhaps this was the psychological moment that you often heard mentioned. She paused— “Well, Miss Brown, it isn't often that I find a pupil with so powerful a conscience. Let me con- gratulate you. Such frankness is indeed rare. Sup- pose in view of this honest confession of your wrong- doings, we make it five nights instead of ten.

Adjoining the White House are the executive offices which our President diligently engages with the large problems of our country. One day while taking pictures on the White House estate I saw a crowd of people outside the executive offices, evidently waiting to see President Harding step into his machine. As I further advanced into the crowd I learned that the President was holding a public reception. “And would I have the oppor- tunity to greet President Harding? How wonderful if I could!” That was my first thought. “However, as the crowd slowly emerged into the building I fol- lowed, and soon found myself absorbed in its in- terior. A line was formed and during the slow pro- gression to reach the President's office 1 was plan- ning the most pleasant sentence I could possibly think, such as “President Harding, I am very happy to greet you,” etc. But goodness, time flew, and I was already at the door, at both sides of which stood two secret service men. From the office entrance I could see President Harding. There, surrounded by five or six more secret service men, stood ''the man of the land!” As I entered the magnificent office and drew nearer to him I hurriedly drew my glove off. At last I was confronting President Harding, but where had that wonderful sentence gone that 1 had so eagerly planned? In the excitement, not from ner- vousness, but from happiness, I had failed to bear it in mind, and so my greeting was, “How do you do, President Harding.” He extended his hand and with a manner of authority and kindness acknowledged me with, “Greetings to you.” What a wonderful priv- ilege! I was more than delighted! Hazel Stadelhoffer would make a movie star, For she's noted for her looks, Which, strange to say, she did not get From “Health and Beauty” books.

CHAPTER III. “We Are Saved!” Two sad truths confront us. Firstly, as the fly has not been found, justice has not been did. Sec- ondly, the world has not dealt kindly with our newly- weds and they are facing starvation. On a bitterly cold winter day, as Mr. and Mrs. McFossil sat shivering in their poverty-stricken flat, Charles said to Sonia: “If we could lay our hands on that fly we'd be rich.” “I've heard tell of stranger things,” said Sonia. Night came with its darkness. During the long, half-wakeful hours of this Russian night with its strange darkness Charley dreamed that the fly came to him, a beautiful angel in flowing white robes, and surrendered itself. But alas! He awoke in the morning to grim reality, No fly—no reward—no breakfast. On that cold morning, as he washed his hands and face, bitter thoughts assailed him. “Yesterday I washed my face and hands. Today I do so. To- morrow—' Great tears formed icicles on his eye- lashes as this thought loomed before him. Sonia and Charles sat at the breakfast table and gazed into dreary space across the empty somovar. How tantalizing was the' aroma of fried bacon from the flat upstairs! Charley's hand rested on a pot of jam, the only object between them and starvation. He was loath to open it, however, for it represented their last morsel of food. In spite of this awful fact staring him in the face, Charles decides that they shall eat. Yes— they shall do the terrible thing. Many people in a state of extreme hunger have been known to have been quite as reckless. He removed the cover with an air of bravado like the hero he was not. “The fly, the fly,” they shrieked in unison. are saved.” Stuck fast in the middle of the gooey mass sat the fly, blinking its eyes in the glare of the sunlight. Sonia and Charles see more than a commonplace fly. They see ten thousand glistening rubles sitting in the jam pot. Thus ends our tale of the extermination of flies. We wish the same fate for the writers of such tales. FINIS. an in exciting events “We 49 (Continued from page 36 repaired to bed.
