Common Council Prohibits Bathing Saturday evening will no longer hold the important placo it has held for years past when the order of the common council goes into effect. That is if it should ever go into effect again as it did once before. That, however. Is getting a little ahead of tho story. It seems that the first bath tub in this country was built in Cincinnati and installed in a house in that city in 1842. This tub was a huge affair made of heavy sheet lead und Incased in mahogany. Its proud possessor first exhibited it to his guests at a Christmas party. When news spread of Us unveiling the papers denounced the bath tub as a luxurious and undemocratic vanity. Doctors proclaimed it destructivo to vitality and a menace to health. The common council of Philadel- phia in the following year feared that Indiscriminate bathing might Impair the vitality of our race. As a result they prohibited bathing in bath tubs between November 1 and March 1. This could not be en- forced and only acted as a stimulus to the 'vico . Boston in 184 5 made the practice unlawful except when prescribed by a doctor. Then, as in recent times, tho good old sawbones could be re- lied upon to be just a little lenient in their prescription writing. The state of Virginia, however, struck at the heart of tho menace by levying a special tax of $30 a year on all bathtubs. This was foiled by the simple expedient of subsidizing workmen to install the diabolical tubs in secret places. Soon it was learned that the English had adopted the habit of bath tubs to such an extent that they even carried portable tubs when traveling. This so humiliated the hotel and inn keepers that they in- JERROLDS Any Suit in Store $13-88 Principal Dykhouse and Mr. Duguid , rooted for Michigan at the Mlchlgan- Illinois game last Saturday.

The third quarter was an even battle with neither team gaining much ground. The fourth quarter was one of the 1 brills for the local fans. After Char- lotte had worked the ball down to the opponent's 40 yard strip. Bill Cheney heaved a nice puss to Sparks, the right end. who fought his way down to the 30 yard line. On the next play Sparks grabbed a pass from an op- posing back who was al out to Inter- cept It. this gave the hall to Charlotte on Hastings' 1 yard line.

The Orange and Black squad fought gamely for four long quarters, hut were not a match for the fast charging team presented by East Lansing. Although complete- ly outclassed «nd outweighed the local hoys fought and tried and that is the most Important thing. The game was featured by many long runs on the part of East Lansing and some hard tackling on the part of the Charlotte team. One of the most outstanding plays of the game was a beautiful spiraling punt that traveled 60 yards ofT the toe) of Bud Nickerson, local right half-1 back. It was by far the longest kick of the day. East Lansing made their first touch- down early in the first period on a pass from Grantham to Pearsall from the Charlotte 20 yard line. The col- lege city eleven had little trouble in holding the local squad, but the fine spirit of the Charlotte players brought praise from the opponents. Classes to Play In Tournament Under the leadership of Miss Swartz, a progressive dodge ball tournament was started Monday night. Oct. 10. The teams consist of eight girls chosen from each of the six gym class- es. Three teams will play each Mon- day and Tuesday nights, respectively, until the end of the tournament. This is an entirely new enterprise and thus far it has proved a very en- tertaining project for the girls. The captains of the six teams are. Beatrice Moore. Neva Lamie. Mildred Miller. Dana Jaquctte. Mary Rathburn. and Kathleen Rolfe. Orange and Black Battles Valiantly to Score Lone Touchdown Charlotte high school was badly routed by the Hastings eleven last Friday by a score of 44 to 6. This was the second game played at Charlotte this year. Although the locals put up a scrappy fight they were unable to hold off the onslaughts of Hastings. The locals snere unable to cope with the type of play used by their opponents. End runs and aerial at- tack spelled defeat for Charlotte. In the Hastings game Coach Barn- hill used a revamped back field which was composed of Youngs and Sparks, linemen In former games, with Fisher and Nickerson at their usual positions. Youngs. Sparks. Kelley and Thomas were outstanding on the Charlotte eleven while the whole team played stellar football for Hastings. In the last quarter SparkM intercept- ed a pass from Hastings and run for 35 yards before he was downed, from there Charlotte scored In a few plays.. As the whistle blew ending the game Charlotte was deep In Hastings ter- ritory ready to score again.

H S. football warriors from the team of 1893 to the team of 1932 are to have a banquet following the Eaton • Rapids game, here, Armistice Day. The annual contest with Eaton Rapids has been chosen as the time for the home coming of all men whoi have played on the Charlotte football team at any time. Kenneth Searles. who played in 1901, has been the most uctlve in putting the plans into actuality. He has sent invitations to Charlotte ex-squad foot- ball men in all parts of the world. The invitation going the farthest dis- tance is to Lyle Jackson in Singapore. Mulay States, who played in 1929. Judge McPeek will be among those present from the team of 1893. The dinner will take place in the, Community rooms at 6:45. Mr. Lee J. StuilU, who once atteuded school here, and is now' a sports writer for the Detroit Times, will be the main speakor. Informal dancing will fol- low the dinner. If Charlotte conquers Eaton Rapids on Armistice Day they will end their season, as far as conference games, with great success. Although the Orange and Black has not been victor- ious over every team and will not win the little seven league championship they will have proven to be worthy subjects under Coach Barnhill’s able leadership. Charlotte’s first conference game was with Mason who proved to be too weak for the local grlddera. This vic- tory. which waa the first in two years, spirited the team into a lighting eleven who fought the remainder of the games with a loyal zeal. The game November 11 with Eaton Rapids will be the outstanding clash of this year's schedule. The two teams are evenly matched and an attitude of revenge prevails between the two schools. If the hope of winning holds good the locals will have won three contests and bowed to three teams in the conference games. Although this is Kenneth Barnhill's first year of coaching he has shown outstanding leadership with his grid- ders and should be given due credit. The Orange and Black won games from Mason 12-0 and Howell 14-0, and were defeated by Euat Lansing 53-0. Hastings 44-6, and Grand Ledge 38-0. The Island City game is the only re- maining conference battle. It will be played at Bennett Park, our local field, and Is hoped to be placed among the Mason and Howell on the conquered list. Diver To Relate Undersea Tales Undoubtedly, many men have talked to school boys and girls more often than Robert Zimmerman, but it is said to be a safe bet than none has been so enthusiastically received or has delighted so many. Mr. Zimmerman, who is a deep sea diver, will speak at next week’s as- sembly. He took many pictures of the bottom of the sea. This fact makes a good lecture, but his later experience exploring the ocean’s depths for lost caravans of the sea are referred to as beyond description . Bob Zimmerman, buried alive under hundreds of tons of sea water, grasp- ing around in the darkness of Davy Jones’ locker”, fastened by a rope and a hose to a frail craft one hundred feet above, crawls on his hands and knees through portholes exploring the hurled ships and getting information about derricks, air locks, coffer-dams, and all the strange complicated ma- chinery of tho deep sea. He tells of the dangers such as snagged or broken air lines and of the air hose getting clogged. Mr. Zimmerman brings with him a unique collection of deep sea curios. DONKEY WINS SCHOOL VOTES Roosevelt and Comstock were the major victors In tho campaign polls conducted in the high school last Fri- day. The Commercial Law class conduct- ed its poll throughout the whole school with votes taken on only presidential and gubernatorial candidates. Roose- velt received 255 votes; Hoover. 206; Comstock. 232; Thomas 25. Comstock received 232: Brucker 211. Another poll was taken in the history and civics classes of the high school. This poll was conducted with regular ballots, including ones with the proposed amendments to the state constitution, the same as the ones used in the genoral election of Tuesday. In this poll Roosevelt received 151 votes; Hoover. Ill: Thomas, 27; Comstock. 156: Brucker. 125. Luren Dickinson. Frank Fitzgerald. Patrick O'Brien, Theodore Fry. and Oramel Fuller were the state candi- dates who came out on the top. Henry Glasner received a large ma- jority over his opponent, John David- son. for senator. Fisk Bangs and Spencer Cribb were the county candi- dates who received a large majority over their opposition. Four of the proposed amendments were voted no on. the first, third, fourth, and sixth. The others were voted yes. CHARLOTTE LOYAL TO ATTEND BLAZE Cheer Leaders And Circus Band To Assist Tire Effigy Burning Crowds of eager, blood thirsty spec- tators will gather In back of the high school building tonight to witness the burning of an odious effigy of Eaton Rapids. Charlotte’s bitter rival of long standing. The large bonfire on the eve of the Eaton Rapids game has become a time honored tradition In Charlotte. This year's blaze promises to be of here-to- fore unknown enormity. The cheering, dancing throng, illum- inated by the scorching light of the symbolic Are. will be urged on to great- er school loyalty by alumni of high standing who can be trusted to create a frenzied shouting of Charlotte’s war cry, “Beat Eaton Rapids” which will echo and resound from house-top to house-top. Horace Darby, ace cornetlst. will present the Circus Band to add riotous music to the general excitement. Bill” Tullis. Frances Sundquist. Max Gee. and “Bea” Moore. Charlotte’s snappy cheer leaders, will lead the im- passioned yells of the student body, fol- lowing which all will Join In the strenuous snake dance through the business district of the city. At the intersection of Main and Lovett streets a circle will be formed and more lusty cheers will be raised to the skies and doubtless carried by willing breezes toward Eaton Rapids. Friday morning the fourth hour a pep meeting will be held In the high room. The entire school band will fur- nish stirring music and songs pro- claiming Charlotte’s loyal spirit will be sung. Several star football players and prominent post-graduates will give pep talks and Coach Barnhill will present his opinion of the team’s chances in the afternoon's game. Anticipation and excitement will be raised to the highest possible pitch by more stirring yells. All the students will be dismissed at noon to attend the big game of the year, hoarsely shouting— BEAT EATON RAPIDS! November to Mark Third Student Mixer Thanksgiving Theme To lie tarried tint In Decorations And Entertainment A week from tomorrow night the third Mixer of the year will be held in the gymnasium. The nearness of Thanksgiving suggests an appropri- ate motive for the decorations. The decorations will be expensive and the result of much planning and hard work. Colored lights, balfoons. confetti, and many other novelties will do much to make this one of the finest Mixers of the year, the committee has stated. Another new orchestra, the Har- mony. Kings, has been secured to fur- nish the music. The orchestra will have a novel setting.
