N 2 J 2 THE LEDGER fE1efven ttrtaanrlf e .mrs ' ei sq u t BRINGING DOWN FATHER , Prize Story ARDEN PANGBORN Edgar Wallace was forcibly ejected from the office of Osmond Garth for two reasons. The first was that he was an only son, rich, and con- scious of it. The second was that he wished to change the name of a prominent Garth to Wallace. Not that Osmond's daughter Genevieve was not for marriage, for her father Was perfectly willing that she become wed, when he could sanction her choice. This he did not choose to do in the case of Wallace, as Wallace had just so clearly found Out. Osmond had a particular aversion to ready-rich young men, traceable perhaps to his own life. He had begun with but little money and worked his way into a secure position on Wall Street. Wallace had begun with a horde of money and worked himself into an insecure position in a couple of fashionable country clubs-no more. Now as Edgar stood outside the office door from whence he had just come, he rubbed his chin rue- fully and ruminated upon the malediction he had just received. You aren't fit to have any girl for your wife. You might spend what money you have on her, but in case of accident you couldn't secure another Cent by hook nor crook. Your name isn't worth the amount of lead it would take to write it down. lt's your money that has social standing, not you-and you didn't earn a cent of it! Edgar rubbed his chin again, and was tempted to open the door just to give a parting shot. He thought better of it, however, and instead withdrew one of his nicely engraved cards from his case and wrote on the back of it: Dear Sir: It will give me the greatest pleasure to show you that you err in your opinion. I trust I shall have the honor of proving your asser- tions apocryphal. And then- He slipped it under the door. ' He paused for a moment, undecided as to exactly what he should do next. In a fraction of a second the card was shoved out again. He picked it up curiously, and found on the other side in bold, black strokes: A 11BAH!sn ' He puzzled to think of a suitable rejoinder, and unable to do so he started to replace the card under the door as a memento of the occasion. No sooner had he bent over, however, than his actions were cut short by the swift opening of the door. No more of this tomfoolery. Get outf' Edgar dropped the card, hustled down the hall, and slid into an elevator that had stopped to ac- commodate another passenger on the floor. With a sigh of relief he sank into the depths of the huge building. r. Tzvelziel THE LEDGER That night at one of his clubs Wallace came to the realization that he had promised to prove false the statements of Osmond Garth. The only satis- factory way of doing this would be to put something over on Garth himself. Edgar Wallace was facing a stupendous task. He checked over their respective armaments. The only thing which Garth had and he had not was a broad business experience, the only thing which he had and Garth had not was imagination. He had plenty of imagination-he was sure of that -in fact Garth had told him so when he had asked for the hand of Genevieve. It Was to be a battle between imagination and hard headed business prin- ciples. , Two days later Garth received the following letter: Dear Sir: lt may be of some interest to you that I have decided to wreck your business. Hoping you are the same, l am, Your obedient servant, Edgar O. Wallace. A LEA l l -iz' A week passed and another letter appeared. It read : ln case you are ever in need of expert ad- vice on business questions we sincerely hope you will not overlook the offices of Edgar O. Wallace. These are soon to be opened on your floor, and we trust that we shall have your patronage. You are doubtless well acquainted with the type of business we intend to operate. Sin- cerely yours. The latter letter made Garth irritable for a whole forenoon, but soon after he forgot it. He was quite pointedly reminded of it again, however, when one morning he found on his way to his office a neat black sign on the door down the hall, Edgar O. Wallace, Broker . He felt that Wallace might have been more truthful if he had had it printed Breaker , but he passed on hurriedly and slammed his own door so hard that it almost caused the word Garth to jump from its glass panelling. The following day he noticed through a door that had been left slightly ajar a corps of stenographers, clerks, and bookkeepers that would have put his own crew to shame. All were busily engaged, and the whole office seemed permeated with a spirit of industry and prosperity. After the first ten days this always busy office began to make him nervous. Not once since the business had opened had he heard of any transac- tion in which Wallace had figured, yet the people inside were always at work, typing records, or mak- ing entries in big books, and the door was always open so he could see. He began to worry. Perhaps Edgar Wallace did mean something by his threat to get even, to break him. He had no real faith in his opponent's abilities, yet the dread of the unknown made him ill at ease. On the morning of about the thirty-seventh day he heard the voice of Wallace from within his private Sanctum. The door was ever so slightly open-just enough that a quiet voice might be heard by an alert listener. Disregarding the fact that it is considered un- ethical to eavesdrop, he stopped. It seemed that Wallace was dictating a letter. Garth did not realize that this was the third time that Wallace had dictated that same letter for the benefit of no other person than Osmond Garth, nor did it occur to him that he was standing upon a mat beneath which there was a switch operating a microscopic buzzer inside the room. The letter read : .... And Further, l would like to inform you that Henry Ford is selling Coldspot Steel. This is not as yet generally known, but will become evi- dent within the next few days. Throw all the Coldspot you have on the market for it is sure to take a tremendous fall when Fordys stock ap- pears .,... - THE LEDGER ljTl1fI'fBFII Garth hurried on in a cold sweat-Ford empty- ing Coldspot Steel on the market. There was something wrong with the stock. That meant a fortuneg Garth held two hundred thousand shares. He hurried to his office and studied the ticker. There was as yet no indication. He immediately placed ten thousand shares on sale. During the past month Edgar IfValiace, through another broker, had been buying Coldspot Steel from the smaller investors, until now he had ap- proximately a hundred thousand shares. It was well known that Henry Ford possessed four hundred thousand, and not nearly so well known to any but Wzillace that Garth owned two hundred thousand. Eight hundred thousand shares were scattered over the Wall Street district among minor holders. Wallace immediately called up his broker. Throw every share of Coldspot on the market at once, he ordered. At eleven o'clock Garth still feverishly pulling the tape from the ticker found that Coldspot Steel had dropped two points. Over a hundred thousand shares were on the market. He called one of his assistants. Empty Coldspot Steel, he ordered. The market Was flooded. At noon the stock had dropped from 48 to 39M3 it fell steadily through- out the afternoon, 37, 35, 34, 33K,. The rumor became currentg Ford was the only owner who could throw so much on the market at once. There was something wrong with the stock. VVhen the exchange closed in the afternoon there were seven hundred thousand shares for sale and the price was 32. Throughout the long day Wallace worked frant- ically. He borrowed to the limit of his credit from every bank where he was known. He mortgaged his home and lands, he even borrowed from his friends. VVhen the exchange opened the next morn- ing he bought five hundred thousand shares of Coldspot Steel at 32. With electrifying suddenness the news spread. Someone was buying Coldspot Steel. Simultaneously there came a telegram from Henry Ford denying that he was selling. The price shot up again with lightning like rapidity. Wallace made a personal call upon Garth early in the forenoon. - I have a couple hundred thousand shares of Coldspot Steel, formerly belonging to you that I thought you might like to buy at par. The stock is good, and you'll only be losing 1-3300,000. Garth groaned, Oh, I'1l admit you bled me for plenty. I'll take back what I said about you, but you played dirty doing it. Your work wouldn't stand the light of a court. Wallace smiled, Oh, by the way! he said politely, one reason that I came in person this morning was to find out why you so suddenly threw all your stock on the market. You must have had some tip. May I ask what? Then there's an- other little matter we did not settle before- Garth remembered where he got his informa- tion. Oh, you're clever, he exploded. You're too clever .... But you'll never marry a daughter of mine. Wallace heaved a sigh. Well, that's settled. I was afraid you might want to sue me for breach of promise, just to get even. I am glad you feel that way about it. You know I've sort of taken a lik- ing to the brand of gum my stenographer chews. I've just made up my mind to ask you to be best man. Oh, you refuse? I am so sorry. Well, I ex- tend you a hearty invitation nevertheless. Here, herell' Garth came out of his near-apo- leptic fit with a growl, You've got no witness that I said that. I tell you I will sue you. Oh, in a case like that, Wallace returned with a bored air, I suppose I will have to marry Genevieve after all. Perhaps you will be so kind as to set the date ? F e- BE-'B 6 9 Fourteenj THE LEDGER 0 L D A N T H O NY SIEGFRIED ROSEN Hello,', I said to my friend the druggist, after I had returned from my journey. And where's Old Anthony? I asked in feigned anxiety. ' UAW, yu don't need to be a-tryin' to 'pear so troubled, squeaked a falsetto voice from behind a dirty green curtain at the rear of the pharmacy. I know you're back an' I'll be out in a jiffy ef you are reely a-dyin' to see me so. I winked merrily at my friend, who grinned in return. We started a conversation, but were soon interrupted by a painful screech caused by the violent backward jerk of a dirty curtain, the rings of which plaintively traveled along its rusty iron bar. A tall, gnarled, white-haired old man made his sudden appearance. His colorless face was narrow and his thin, sharply curved nose stood out as promi- nently as a tree stands on an otherwise barren field. His dull grey eyes were almost expression- less and his lips were pale. His was the voice that had uttered those welcoming words in that strangely piercing tone. He concentrated his eyes upon me and, having satisfied himself, advanced slowly. Can't even be alone five minutes without bein' pestered and-well, why don't yu say something? he demanded querulously. Don't yu know an old man's time is waluable ? You didn't say hello, after my long absence, too, I said in apparent injury. I did. I said hello. I said it five or six times. I 'member hearin' me say it, he prevaricated. E l'But I didn't hear you, I complained. Well, I'll do it again, then. Hello! he said grudgingly. Now, are yu satisfied P I nodded. Rf yu ain't nothing 'portant to say I might as well go. I can't afford to waste my time, he piped insinuatingly, and then chalrically stalked away. I heard the dirty curtain angrily jerk and the old chair into which he evidently had thrown him.- self creakingly object. I smiled at the druggist, who gravely regarded me. Probably he was mystified because I had not lost my temper at the old manis irascibilityg prob- ably he was deliberating whether to impart a secret to me or not. I guessed the latter. Whatever it was, I saw that as he was in this mood of deep meditation, it was an opportune time to ask him something that had long perplexed me. I first made sure, however, that old Anthony could not hear us. You once told me that you had hired Anthony about five years ago because you were badly in need of an assistant. Surely of all men, Anthony is the least helpful. I-Ie is exceedingly old and lament- ably weak. It is even inhuman to permit him to labor more than slightly. I know he is no relation of yours, nor has he a claim upon you. Why, there- fore, have you retained him this long? I did not need a man for manual work or I should not, of course, have employed him. All !Y that I required was a person to assort herbs, and as this was an easy task I thought I might accom- modate him. Assort herbs! I exclaimed. He assort herbs? How incongruous! He can't see well enough to distinguish the differences between them and even if he could discriminate cautiously, his trembling hands would not allow him infallibly to separate each from its fellows. His help, however sincerely given, would be obviously worthlessf' I stopped short. Suddenly a thought came to me that revealed everything. Chl I see it now. You are giving him charity. You know that he would not accept it if he were aware of it. He isso haughty and takes such pride in being what he believes, independent. He once loftily boasted to me of that fact. Therefore, to quiet his scruples you engaged him to do this and thereby allay any suspicion of his that he was ac- cepting charity. My friend blushed as guiltily as if he had been convicted of some great crime. I-Ie deprecated his action and sought to turn the subject. But I was obdurate. 'fHasn't he any relatives? I asked. Yes, he is continuously disturbed by a wealthy Eastern relative whose conscience refuses to allow him to see an aged kinsman of his laboring for sus- tflontinued on Page 505 V Ponce de Leon's Search for the Fountain of Youth C Prize Poemj t SIEGFRIED ROSEN A poor pathetic man he was, All broken down and feeble bent, Whose mortal days were almost o'er, VVhose death was cruelly imminent. But yet he had the common fear To leave this irksome place of care, In favor of some doubtful world Of which he knew not what nor where. He heard of some strange Indian myth: That somewhere in the Land of Truth, Unknown to white man, there existed A Fountain of Eternal Youth. He had the true adventurer's spirit: His age, like scales, from off him fell. He rose, consumed with seething fire, To find-and thus elude Deatlfs knell. He sailed about Bahama's Isles, He sailed New Florida around, He sailed about the ocean wide, He sailed past many a forest ground. Unwelcomed by restoring founts, Unwelcomed by a second youth, Unwelcomed by astoundedness, Met only with that ugly truth- Old age returning, evermoregi Inexorably dragging each Limb down till such a time As clawing Death should soon him reach Discouraged, he returned home, To-perish on his native soilg But there he found a newer clue, And came again, to search and toil. He sailed about America, Searching carefully as he wentg He sailed about the Indies West: No second youth to himiwas sent. As weary as a wilting flower That knows full well its end is near He lay upon his couch and prayed The tinkling waters yet to hear. ! Ah! Ponce, a foolish man thou Wert, I ,To cry against harsh fate, alack! VVhen He that gladly gave thee life But merely asked thee for it back. W Sixteenl THE LEDGER THAT ROMANTIC AGE EVELYN BARMETTLOP. In the breakfast room of a smart colonial man- sion in a smart suburb of Richley sat lVIr. Dennis, a stout, portly man of middle age, who was quite prominent in the business world of Richleyg Mrs. Dennis, a large lady of the same age, who tried to be very prominent in Richley's social affairs, and their flapper daughter, Celeste, a rather-pretty girl of about eighteen. Well, remarked lVIrs. Dennis, as she looked through the neat stack of mail that was by her plate, here is an announcement of the engagement of Miss Alice Travers to Mr. VValter La Verne. As she said this she mentally checked off Mr. La Verne from her list of promising young men for Celeste. Mr. Dennis merely grunted, but Celeste turned pale, choked on a morsel of food and abruptly left the room, as her mother finished speaking. She went to her own room, where she threw her- self down on the bed. It was a pretty room, fur- nished in gay colors. A thick soft rug lay on the floor, and softly shaded lights were placed about the room and. thin silk curtains fluttered in the breeze of that lazy Indian summer morning. Why, what's the matter with Celeste? asked Mrs. Dennis. - Don't know, mumbled Mr. Dennis from the depths of his newspaper. He did not seem greatly concerned about his flapper daughter. Just then the door bell rang and the butler admitted a slen- der grey-eyed girl of about Celeste's age. There was a tiny hidden laugh in her wide set grey eyes, and a distinct charm about her made her a general favorite withf people. . lVIr. Dennis' ,greeting to her was warm, more so than Mrs. Dennis', because she recognized the girl with her beauty and charming manners as a dangerous rival for Celeste. Good morning, jean, he said, did you just get back from the beach? We've been home for about a week. If you should like to see Celeste you will find her in her room. After talking a while, Jean left the breakfast room and ran up a broad flight of stairs and knocked at the door of Celeste's room. On receiv- ing no answer, she opened the door and said, gaily, Hello, Celeste! . The still form on the bed did not move, so she crossed the room and sat down on the wide luxurious bed. Why, Celeste, child, what on earth is the matter? Still no answer, but something that sounded suspiciously like a sob shook the girl. Jean then lifted the dark, tousled, curly head and said in a motherly tone, Here, child, dry your tears and tell old Jean all about it. That will make you feel much betterf' Oh, Jean-Jean, Roger is engaged to that- horrid Alice Travers ! The hidden laugh in Jeanls eyes now became very evident and she found it very hard to keep the laughter out of her voice, but she succeeded to say in a sympathetic, grave tone: Roger-oh, you mean+Roger La Verne, whom you met down at the beach-lVIrs. Dixon's nephew, the one who found and carried you down the mountain when you sprained your ankle, and sent you flowers and candy when you were illg who said you swam like a mermaid and danced like a fairy. Yes, Jean-oh, l'm heartbroken! He was aw- fully handsome. He had the keenest eyes. Oh, Jean, I simply adored him! Everyone did. I was sure he liked me. I can't understand how that little empty-headed simp of an Alice Travers ever captured him! Oh! oh! this world is a dreary blank for me. There is no other man in this world for me! With this she buried her face in Jean's arms. Jean smiled a knowing smile, for she knew Ce- leste rather well, and knew that these outbursts were not infrequent. When she could control the merry laughter in her voice, she said in a very tragic tone, Oh, what a cruel world! Listen, Celeste, you'd better get in some decent clothes, because Bob and Terry are coming up for a set of tennis. What, Jean, not Terry Deland, that boy whose folks moved into the great new white house on the hill? All the girls are wild about him. Hurry, Jean, help me get into this new sport suit. Don't you think it is becoming? Hurry, Jean, if he's com- ing I must look nice. THE LEDGER ES8'UE71lt?E7l LOOKS ARE OFTEN DECEIVING VIRGINIA WINCHELL Say, Slim, whereya goin'? asked Freckles of his churn. '!To the old mine. VVanna go 'long?!' !'Sure, justa minute. Soon the pair were on their way to the deserted coal mine-a place they had no right to enter. But they were just boys and in search of adventure, at that. On their arrival they looked carefully around to see that they Weren't watchedg then, with a hur- ried seramble, they were inside. O-0-f! groaned Freckles. VVho've I run into? Say, guy, lay off! Itls me-Fred! Oh, I beg your pardon -this respectfully from Freckles. He recognized the voice of the preacherls son, the toughest kid in the village. iiWl13tCl1H doin' in here? This question simul- taneously from both. Hfust lookin, 'round. Come along. answered Fred. The three scamps wandered around for about an hour, and didn't realize that they were lost until they tried to find the entrance. At first, they all put up a bold front--Freckles was the first to break down, then Slim. Fred was hard-boiled for about an hour, then suddenfy startled his com- panions by dropping on his knees and praying- something like this: Oh, God, please let me get home! I-I-I'll never be bad any more. Whatlll my mama do? O-o-o-o-o-o, but it's dark-pie for supper! Ah-h-h! I wanna go home! Wliatld I ever-r come here fur? Oh, please show us the way out! I'll not play hookey any more. My dad'll pray for me, too. God!-oh! oh! oh! I wanna git outa here! Help! Help Help Help! He was finally hys- terical-scared stiff-so to speak. During the course of this prayer, Freckles had wandered ahead about fifty feet. A triumphant yell startled the other two into running. Their pal had discovered the exit from the old mine. As soon as they were safely out and used to the strong light, Fred turned on his friends with clenched fists and his noted fighting mug on. Say, you two kids keep mum, he growled. If you ever dare tell anybody I got 'soft' in that mine, l'll knock the daylights outa you! You know l can. Now, shut up-remember! Witli this speech, he thrust his hands into his pockets and went Whistling down the road, fol- lowed meekly by the dumfounded Freckles and Slim. To the Devastators KENNETPI L.

If the baby had been born at any other time, -it would have been named John, or William, or any of the good old wornout names. But instead it was attached to the terrible caption, Archibald Marmaduke Jones. Pa Jones was disgusted with his better half. Imagine me--me-with a baby named Archibald lVIarmadukel he groaned, as he tried to seek an explanation for Ma Jones' absence of brains. Oh, shut up! said Ma Jones. What are you croaking about, anyway? I'll bring him up the way I Want, and you can leave him alone! Yes, you'll bring him up. I've got an idea how you'll bring him up. Nice new Fauntleroy suit, cute little golden curls and pretty little white and pink shoes and stockings. Ughlu Get out ,of here, you brute. How dare you talk that way about our iddums cutems pinky-pink toesies! She turned to the baby, and started cod- dling it. Good-night! lVIore groans and Pa ,Tones went out on the-porch and made the air blue for about five minutes. Archie, at home, was treated like a prince. But outside it was different. Archie had turned out the way Pa Jones had predicted-a sissy-and he was treated by his schoolmates accordingly. But, of course, just as Ma Jones had taught him, he held his nose in the air and did not conde- sgend to look upon any who dared approach him. The effect of bla Jones' teaching was beginning to tell on the boy. He was becoming snobbish. And Pa Jones, what could he do? I-Ie just sat and groaned behind his newspaper during the even- ings and listened to lVIa Jones indulge in the gentle art of inventing new pet names for Archie. He had resolved not to interfere, but he was slowly be- coming disgusted with his wife's method. VVhen are you going to teach the little dear how to make up the beds and darn my socks? he asked, sarcastically. All lVIa Jones had to say was Shut upli' and Pa Jones shut up. It was about this time that Pa Jones' mail began to get heavier. He received a long brown folder twice a week, and promptly retired with it to the attic, and for the next half hour Ma Jones would hear him jumping around and punching something. She didn't know just what it was, and Pa Jones wouldn't openihis mouth on the subject. It isn't good for Archibald's constitution to have all that noise going on,', she remarked at the table the first evening of the mysterious proceed- ing. Bahl replied Pa Jones and went on eating. One day when Archie was about eleven years old-the stage in his life where he was wearing a shiny, stiff collar and a big bow tie. Bill Graham happened to tease him a little more than usual. Living up to his mother's teaching, he promptly marched in and told the teacher. Coming out of school that afternoon, he met Bill at the corner and, with an ugly look on his face, Bill muttered, Here's where I change your complexion, you little sissy. He grabbed Archie by the arm and pulled him into an alley, where he proceeded to muss him up considerably. Fifteen minutes later Archie slowly eased him- self up the front steps of his home, and dragged into the kitchen. Ma Jones looked up, and promptly dropped her jam and the pan which she was holding. What happened to mother's little darling boy? she cried, as she started toward him. Tell mother what happened. Archie told her as well as she could, considering the puffed lips he had lately acquired, while his mother washed him and applied a beefsteak to his black eye. Pa Jones came home for dinner to find his son sitting on Ilia Jones, lap, eating a piece of pie. Pa Jones was a sorry-looking spectacle himself-his face scratched up, his nose still bleeding and his right eye swollen. lVIa Jones shrieked, and cried, 'KYou, tool VVhat,s the matter? ' THE LEDGEI2 IiNinefee1i Pa Jones didnt' answer her. It seemed to be too much for him to look at his son. He promptly started cussing, loosing every swearword he had stored up, since lVIa Jones started to train Archie. Why l let you do this for is more than l can see! he shouted at his wife, who cowered back against the wall. He turned to his son. l'Come with me, he said, and stalked out of the room. They went up to the attic, where Pa Jones pumped Archie for all the details of the fight. Well, he said, I guess it sure is time for me to take a.hand in this. Now, listen to me. You just forget everything your mother ever taught you. See? l'm going to teach you from now on. See my face? Well, I was in a fight today, too. But I didn't stand up and let the other guy soak me. You saw all those envelopes that came to the house, and you heard all that racket upstairs. lVell, that was me, learning how to box, from a correspondence course. Now, you're going to learn how to box, too. I cleaned up that fellow today, and there's no reason in the world why you can't do the same thing to Bill Graham. We'll begin right here. And.he took Archie over to the punch- ing bag in the corner. Wlieii Ma Jones learned about Pa Jones' inten- tion, she exclaimed: You're not going to teach my baby how' to fight! She shuddered at the thought of her darling little pet stooping so low. You can stop right there. I'm teaching the boy now. l'll make a man of him. You've had your turn,'l replied Pa Jones, and walked out of the house. Three weeks later Archie was subjected to more teasing by Billy Graham. He immediately started to roll up his sleeves, at which the boys began laughing. Just imagine the sissy trying to fight! Billy Graham smiled confidently, while Archie gritted his teeth and tried to remember the things he was supposed to do, according to the boxing in- structions. Bill, attempting to inject a little comedy into the affair, started to wind up. Before he was half through, a sledgehammer had landed on his nose. Another promptly settled on his ear, and then Archie started punching with startling rapidity, each blow landing effectively. The bell interrupted the fight and the pupils slowly walked away from the scene of activity,. remarking among themselves about Archie's prowess. That night Archie indulged in his first cussword. As he threw his blue silk nightgown out of the win- dow, he stubbed his toe on the dresser. VVith much vigor he said, Damnl while his father out- side the door smiled and said softly: Your mother named you Archibald Marinaduke, but I guess you'll live it down.

Twen tyzl THE LEDGER WRONG ADVICE NAz.1xReNe HUTCHINGS Hello, Ruth! I just called you to say that Jack Mandock entered Cleveland High and that he is in my science class. Really, I understand now why all your girl friends fell for him. He is all that you described. His black hair and eyes, his independent air, his polite way, his kind actions: his broad shoulders, and his earnestness have surely made me like him. Oh! Ruth, I never thought that I could like a boy as well without first meet- ing him.', Well, Bettyf' answered Ruth, don't let him think that you care for him. Act independently, by all means. just remember that he thinks he can have any girl he wants. Thanks for the advice. I will show little ,lack that Betty is one girl that he can't have, but, oh, it will be hard! sighed golden-haired Betty. As this conversation was going on between Betty and Ruth, strange to say, a similar conversation was being carried on between Jack lVIandock and his friend Bob. All right, Bob, I will try and do as you say, but I will have to take a look at her once in a while. She is the first girl that I have thought much of. I am sure that she has some good com- mon sense, although she does look rather dollish. The next day Betty pranced into science class with a brand new mareel, while Jack had a bit more Glo-co on than usual. Betty, to the delight of Homer Wells, the horned-rimmed sissy of the class, talked to him all period. Jack, in order to show that he was not interested in her, talked to the black, curly-headed girl to his right. And so this pretending business went on, with only sly, quick glances at one another. The football season had arrived and still Jack and Betty were at the same little game, with neither one gaining. The black, curly-headed one received all of Jack's com- pliments, and in return yelled for him at thegames until Betty could have scratched those black eyes out and torn that curly head to pieces without feel- ing one bit sorry. On the other hand, Homer received all of Betty's attention, and in return showed so much ownership of her that Jack could hardly resist the immense pleasure of punching that high-held nose. Bob could not understand why his advice did not work. Funny thing, he told Jack. It really is a funny thingfl But Jack could see nothing funny about it, and said as much in a very few words. VVhat I can't figure out, puzzled Jack, is why she picks on that mud-faced Wells. If I hadn't taken your advice, all would be well, hut I have gone too far now to fall back on myself. I'll just have to make the best of things. Cheer up! I'll ask Ruth's advice. You know Ruth is Betty's chumf' VVhile on the other hand, neither could Ruth understand why her advice had not brought the proper results, and even if her advice had failed, there was Betty's big blue eyes, and her short, fluffy, golden hair that usually worked wonders. No, said Betty, as she gazed into the mirror, it is no use. Perhaps if my hair was black and kinky like Harriet's, I would have better luck. The deciding championship football game was drawing near. The Cleveland and the Park high schools had neither one dropped a scuffle. Their game had been the last scheduled, and now prom- ised to be the hardest fought one of the season. Every one was talking football. Jack listened with admiration to the conversation about football be- tween Betty and Homer. It isn't many girls that know as much about sports as Betty, Jack informed Bob. She is a regular girl. I would give anything to have her yell for me at this coming game tomorrow, but instead she will sit up there on the grandstand and let pie-faced Homer feed her peanuts. Bah! The important day had arrived. The grandstand was overflowing with rooters. Betty's jazz cap was set at a sharp angle on her head. At her side was as usual the devoted Homer, already shelling peanuts. just as he was ready to pop a peanut into his small baby mouth, Betty gave him an unin- tended slap and screamed above the uproar: THE LEDGER ITwenty-fhree HELP YOURSELF A 'rRVUE CONFESSIONH By SAM FULLMAN Have you ever associated with one of these giddy girls with a mania for collecting souvenirs? Light- fingered lassies with hands swifter than a waiter's eye, they never leave a place without taking some- thing away to remember it by. lVIy best girl once contracted this horrible habit and whenever Iwas with her I yvas used as a re- cipient for her gatherings. I'd find myself going away from a restaurant with a menu, a spoon, a demi-tasse cup and saucer, and even a lemon squeezer. Nothing seemed to phase her, from a salt shaker to a flower vase. There was no line of distinction. If she looked at anything on the table twice, I knew it was as good as gone and we would be there until she could get it. One evening I was sitting beside her in a restaur- ant and when the waiter's back was turned she frantically shoved a cold spoon with ice cream on it down my neck. Gf course the expected hap- pened, the cream melted and ran down my spinal column. When the waiter turned around again, the expression on my face must have looked like a signal of distress, for he immediately offered me a bottle of cholera mixture. The combination of Jamaica ginger, red pepper, and tobacco sauce burned my throat, but I tried to pass it off. With the ice cream running down my back and the chills running up, I did not succeed. One afternoon she arranged for a supper and the opera after. That evening I put on a swell-cut outfit, one of these with a false shirt front. We went into a highbrow restaurant and when we were almost finished she suddenly decided she wanted the platter. I knew by her eyes it was ' , ingg but I was hoping the waiter would take it H ' y before she found a place to put it. I-Ie was too slow as I realized when I felt the platterggo between me and the shirt front. I tried to look natural, but the platter was hot and perspiration burst forth upon my brow. The man sitting next to me pulled a thermometer off the wall and wanted to take my temperature, but I told him to take my life instead. Wlleii the proprietor arrived on the scene, he asked me if I couldn't take something for my malady, but I told him I would be ashamed to take anything more. The doctor came and asked me if I had a cold on my chest. I told him I would have as soon as it cooled off. I-Ie then wanted to sound my lungs and before I could stop him he hit the platter with his knuckles and the cracking of it could be heard all over the room. I cut a pretty figure then. The proprietor pushed forward and asked if he should call an ambulance, but the doctor told him to call a policeman in- stead. It cost my girl twenty-five dollars for a two- bit platter that she never got. One evening as we were walking down the street, she wanted to go into a Chinese noodle restaurant, so I had to take her. We went up and I had a nice time trying to wash down a lot of Chow lVIien with a cup of tea the size of a canary's drinking cup. I was enjoying myself about as much as a kitten with paper tied on his front feet, when I saw that dangerous look that meant there was .something on the table that she had taken a fancy to. She thrust a pair of chopsticks and a tea cup into my pocket just as the waiter came up. I paid the bill and rushed her for the door as fast as I could. VVhen we reached the street I turned around and saw the man pursuing us. I immediately came to the conclusion that he had seen the chopsticks sticking out of my pocket. I waved violently at a passing taxi, but before we could gain shelter of its four protecting sides the waiter overtook us. I had visions of saying Good morning, Judge, and you can never imagine my relief when he held out a dainty piece of linen which I recognized as a handkerchief. Un the way home I saw her eyeing the meter and knew she wanted that, too, and believe me, if I could have reached it for her, I would have done it! 3111 fHHPIIIU1'iEII1I KENNETH KNOX 631010 M 3 535 K9-J 1U EL. ia 'f u -vQY:bi, ' Q- - 5, fy 5 -. 5 X. ..

Yet it is but the component of a number of sim- ple qualities, the greatest of which is tact. Tact-the seed from which sprouts personality- is an art-the art of saying or doing the one thing which will appeal to the largest number of people. It begets friends, and friends beget fame, wealth, honor, and position. The manager of a million dollar firm must be a myriad of meng he cannot-be himself. He cannot approach the capitalist and the machinist on the same terms. He must be the person to whom he is talking. He must be able to find a common meet- ing ground with everyone with whom he comes in contact. Wlieri amidst a group of people of dif- ferent stations in life, different tastes, and different amusements, he must find the one thing which is nearest to the hearts of all. The man with tact is always considered broad- minded-and that is the key to the problem of per- sonality. Tact is not a gift of the gods, as is so often imagined. Some persons cultivate it much earlier than others-quite unconsciously-and still others never cultivate it at all. They go through life railing at their star of ill-fortune that they are so unpopular and without any power of attraction. To cultivate a pleasing personality takes time- more time for some than for others, because many do not know exactly what they wish to cultivate. It is absolutely imperative that the man with per- sonality have tact, and that the man with tact have a broad and stable foundation upon which to draw at a momentls notice. This does not mean that personality is a studied, iron-bound, pedagogical set of rules, a scale with which one must weigh each word that he utters-or fail in his purpose. However, if one who knows of nothing but algebra, meets one who knows of nothing but foot- ball, will not their interview be fatiguing to both? On the other hand, if one who is intensely in- terested in algebra, but who also knows something of football, meets one who takes exceptional in- terest infootball, but is also acquainted with alge- bra, and the one who is interested in algebra is wise enough to talk about football, and the one who is interested in football is wise enough to talk about algebra, the two will part mutually gratified with the spirit of companionship formed. The logical starting place for cultivation of this power is high school, for here there are always numerous activities and varied interests that afford great opportunity for participation. The thing then for the high school student to do is to try to become well-balanced. He should endeavor to be- come neither a book worm, nor an athlete who has neglected his brains to develop his brawn. Personality partakes of the form of flattery, not the outright personal kind, but a more subtle, more likeable flattery-that of being interested in the things that the one with whom you are associated is interested in. HOTSTUFF EVELYN WHITE The fire gong rings! A student yawns and scowls, disgruntled at being thus aroused from a nap in history or English. lwary picks up her fountain pen and beloved vanity case, lazily rises, and saunters to the door to await the arrival of her best friend. If the spirit moves the classes, they may begin to meander to the nearest exit, if not, they wait until some teacher does the moving up for them. Now perhaps the entire class has at last strolled down the hall, chatting and laughing, immensely pleased that it can snatch a few minutes of'the period. As much time as it is possible to waste is consumed in returning, because maybe Mary was the next to be called upon to recite. Fire drill was established for protection and safety. It should be executed in a manner that carries out this purpose. Can't We be a little more snappy in clearing the building? Remember, that some day we are likely to get our hair singed!

Everyone predicted a successful season, only to discover that it would be impossible to secure a regular practice field. Coach XVilliams made the best possible arrangements and set about to build a formidable nine. And it might he said that he succeeded in his efforts. Carl Bmurlry-Capt., CF.- Cahl covered outfield with great efficiency. His work with the willow often aided in scoring needed runs. He was chosen captain and showed his right to that honor by his expert managing of the squad. Ray Delsclzizeizler'-RF.- A hitter with few weaknesses was the term given Boob by the coach. Low, wide, or high balls looked alike to him. He also possessed a good eye for fly balls. He will be back next year. Chester Benz-LF.-Unknown for any athletic prowess, Haz,' came out for baseball and was not long in becoming a regular. If more of the fellows had the courage to compete against lettermen, per- haps many Hdiamonds in the rough, like Chet, would be uncovered. Ludwig I-Iarlung-RF.-The way Ludy chased flies disproved the accepted belief that wood- en shoes hinder speed. He would often complete seemingly impossible catches. His timely single in the Lincoln game turned expected defeat into sud- den victory. James Jllilnn-3rd-This was Dopey's'l initial season under the big tent and he performed cred- itably for a newcomer. He had uncanny ability in knocking down hard drives and throwing the runner out at first. Next year should find Jim scintillating on the school nine. Axel Pearson-Catcller- A man either goes back or ahead in athletics is the saying of lVIr. Wil- liams. The showing made by Grease this year clearly demonstrated the truth of this fact. A weak catcher last year, he developed, by means of hard work and a great deal of thinking, into a steady and reliable receiver. Hill Cnllnn-2nd-Playing his second year of Varsity ball, Billy, aided by the experience gained last spring, showed well at the keystone sack. His skill in hitting 'em where they ain't,'-proved con- stant worry to the opposing teams. He has another season to play. .Edward Cheney-SS.-That a man can star in more than one sport was clearly shown by Gyp's performance on the diamond this year. He was chosen by many as the leading shortstop of the league. Don jlfIcLeo1l-lst--Don's dexterity in covering the ter1'itory around first base was one of the high lights of the season. His incessant cavorting dis- concerted many a runner causing him to be caught flat-footed off the bag. As infield captain, Mac with his constant chatter gave added impetus to the playing of his mates. Morris' Lefuoff-Pitcher-The unusual feat of winning a letter in his Frosh year, Was accomp- lished by Moco this spring. He entered from Shattuck with a good pitching record and lived up Tlzirtyl THE LEDGER to all advance dope. With the experience gained this year, he should prove a star hurler next season. Sam Itfeson-Pitcher- Cannon-ball is the easiest way to define the hooks and slants'l of Lefty lveson. VVith no big league experience Sam assimilated baseball readily and was always cool under fire. He will be out for the pitching berth again next year. John Plfalkffz'-Pitclier-Because he showed un- known talent, the cognomen Dark Horse was tacked on to -lawhnf' He was among the first out and was always willing to pitch during batting practice, a hard job with little glory. He also roamed the outer gardens occasionally. He should be a regular next year. At the game, the yell-leader shouts Three for the team. The multitude, with eyes on the play- ing field, will respond vigorously. Who are they yelling for? The team. But their conception of the team is the nine men playing. That is a wrong point of view. The team is not composed of only actual participants. A large portion of the victories can be traced to the second stringers. As competition begets perfection, the scrubs are an im- portant factor in the success or failure of any ball club.

Spend two months of thorough work on the dictaphone, billing machine, bookkeeping ma- chine, mimeograph, mimeoscope, or multigraph and you'll find that you're highly in demand in any office. The dictaphone is an Edison invention. Slide the record on the cylinder, put on the receivers and tune in. A business letter, an essay, or maybe a lecture on credit will greet your ears. Dictaphone work also provides for a bit of fun. Wlieii you dictate your own work you are bound to get a laugh at hearing your own voice on the record. WVe've all wondered where our tardy slips and office excuse blanks have been printed. The Office Appliance department does it! Evidently we aren't the only ones that appreciate well-done work-art outlines of the University of Oregon are printed here, also folders for the school board. The reason that lVIrs. VVadesl office is always supplied with gym excuses is that room 21 is just a few steps away, and therefore very handy. And, you songsters, did you know your Glee Club music is printed here? The multigraph operators, the mimeograph opera- tors, and lVIrs. Bradford will be delighted to receive all due honor. 'Tis a fine school that pays us while we learn. Twice a year students trot down to the Journal Building and earn forty cents an hour counting votes. That forty cents an hour pays for those forty- five minutes of hard work spent each day for ten weeks on that necessary piece of machinery in room 21-the adding machine. The Blotter, we know, is by the students, of the students, and for the students. The Blotter staff sees to it that it's by the students. We see to it that it's of the students, and we also see to it that itfs for the students-we insist upon reading itg but it takes the youngsters in room 21 to print itl '55 f- 'Q WY? 1 Q1 iw?-Sfaaltfl Q ' by va, KT -1 WP Lgmqjbgfu - : '.,,',g ' , ' Si? fl frm rmeff'-' I: ,MW fc' 3,3221 1 1 -A ' I ,Li .- .

Gyp will be with the squad next year. 2. Bill Callan: Everybody knows Bill by his laugh. This boy was unanimously elected guard on the mythical five. He will captain next year's quintet. 3. Red O'Donnell: Red ran true to his color. He outscored his opponent in most games. Bul- 1et's graduation this June will leave a large gap to be filledi 4. Carl Beaudry: A flashy little forward. Carl was given this berth on the second all-star five. He will be with the team another year. 5. Fred McKeen, the vocal king. Freddie was the best foul shooter in the league. When the coach signs up the boys next year a past season's star will not be there. Mr. McKeen has announced he is going to retire. H E L E D G E R IiT11irty-three f .

Although much of the credit given to the or- chestra should be given to Miss Hoeber, we must not forget the students who have lent their talent to the school and have been faithful in coming to STRA . practice one night a week for many weeks. Besides affording the school much pleasure with its excellent music-both jazz and classical-the orchestra played for the Vaudeville and the Alumni Play, HThe Thirteenth Chair,', which was held at the Municipal Auditorium on hdarch 21, 192-1-. The Seniors have also had the pleasure of having the orchestra favor them at both their class play and their graduation exercises. GLEE For six years the students of the High School of Commerce have heard, at intervals, strains of sweet music floating about the halls. They knew it was the Glee Club practicing. Between 1918 and 1923 three attempts were made to organize a Glee Club, but each time the members lost interest and the attempt failed. But the High School of Commerce was determined to have a Glee Club, and late in the spring of 1923 Miss Gertrude Hoeber came to the rescue, and although several times dissolution threatened, the CLUB organization gained enthusiasm. lt is now pro- gressing rapidly under the capable leadership of lVIiss Hoeber, and is one of the strongest organiza- tions in the school. During last term the Glee Club appeared several times with the orchestra in school assemblies. It furnished music at the January, 192-1, graduation exercises, and will also furnish music at the June, 192-l, graduation exercises. The officers for this term' are: President, Hilda Rostg Vice President, Aino Enquistg Secretary, Cecelia Braunsteing Librarian, hdargaret Horn.

One sister of sisters has given the new ones a sweet dish to eat at the frolicsome frolic. One sister was leader in playing the games to make all the young ones feel the feeling of Home. One sister has looked for new helpers in this work when she placed a soliciting box in the hall. One sister of sisters makes the meetings more pleasant with the right sort of speech and the right sort of manners. And the rest of the sisters have done more than they should to make the Sorosis as fine as they could. Hazel. MILLIQR. All eligible students of the history and civics classes entered the National Oratorical Contest, sponsored by the Portland Telegram. Of these, Faye Howe was chosen to represent Commerce in the preliminary contest, after eliminating Rosalind Isenstein and Oso Lautner. Miss Howe placed fourth in the West side contest. Doris Adams, the Winner of the Certificate of Superior Merit, received her O. G. A. Certificate while in her first term of shorthand. During her third 'term she entered the contest for the C. S. M. Her seventy-fifth copy of the material was selected as the only perfect copy out of 6,130 entries representing the entire world. Clifford Engle won second prize in the city- wide Thrift Essay Contest, sponsored by the United States National Bank. Mr. Engle chose Insur- ance as his subject. Thanks ! The Alumni Association, immediately after the production of The Thirteenth Chair, mailed a check for 582.50 to the school. Commerce sincerely appreciates this gift for it shows that those who have graduated are still in- terested in the welfare of their successors. It behooves every Commerconian to back the Association to the limit in all its activities, especial- ly the plays, which are most closely allied to the school itself. The next play will be presented early in the fall. r Thirty-eighil THE LEDGER JAN. '25 CLASS By EVELYN WHITE The January '25 Class is organized at last. We are small, but where there is union there is strength and if the splendid co-operation displayed thus far profiteth anything, our class has traveled a long way towards success. The first meeting of the class was called by lVIr. Elton on lVIarch 17. Morley Fletcher was elected temporary chairman. The class proved' its excellent judgment by choosing Mrs. Wicklund advisor, Nlorley Fletcher, presidentg Frederick Brennan, vice presidentg Violet Daniels, secretaryg Irene La Roche, t1'C2.SU1'CI , and Louis Dielschneider sergeant-at-arms. Tuesday was decided upon as the day for class meetings. After hearing a report from Louis Dielschneider and Walter Kassebaum, the class selected the design of the two previous class pins with a few minor changes which greatly improve its appearance. Like Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard the treasury is still bare and it will be necessary to hold future sales to help replenish it. You will hear more from us next year.

VVhen she gets what she wants, she doesnyt want it any more. I know one who wanted bobbed hairy she got it, and now she says she would rather have it the other way- that's the way it goes. All the weak arguments she made for it have blown to the four winds and she blames me for her doing it. She says I talked her the into it and l never said a word one way or other-that's the way it goes. Last week l took her to a inorie that she had particularly wanted to see. I was enjoying the picture when she nudged me and said she was go- ing. I tried to talk her into staying, hut she in- sistedg so what could I do? IVe went! All the way home on the street car she kept talking to me about taking her to a show without asking her first if she wanted to go-that's the way it goes. I took her to a dance the other night. In the intermission we found two seats, and I was just getting nicely settled when a boy went by carrying a dish of ice. Immediately she wanted one to. I looked despairingly at the lone line of males try- ing to get a dish of ice for their girls and I hero- ically plunged into the mass. I reached the front just as the last dish was being taken. I fairly grabbed for it, and thank fortune, I got it-and a shove in the back. On the way back I was stopped two or three times by old school friends, and after exchanging notes with them, I finally reached my destination. By that time the ice was melted and she had changed her mind and didn't want any- that's the way it goes. l asked her to go for a ride on the street car. She wanted to stay at home. VVhen I was reconciled to staying home, she decided that she would like to ride after all-I had changed my mind-We walked-that's the way it goes. , ee 1 figs 55:59 gi-A-H-sfzzfg l o1-fy-lwbl T II E L If D G If R The Difference Between a Student and a Pupil Pnffif. jesse James Football Gymnasium School teacher Casino -lazz lVhiQ: Hang Ledger Oh!
