This was not my lirst visit to Lincoln -A. and so the surroundings were not a I together new, and here 1 was lo make my home for four lout; years. The following day was another story altogether, Tor there were more green Freshmen, and at Hirer o Clock every dog”, as we were called, was called out to meet the afternoon train, in single die. slowly down the dusty road, trod a handful of Freshmen lo the station to meet 'the immortal “Hods (Sophs) and upper classmen and he of what service we possibly could. 'I’lu! rclurn trip was a different story, for the number of Freshmen had increased to about llfty, and those who had just come were likewise ordered to join our ranks and assist in hearing the lug- gage of the Sophs and upper classmen to the dormitories. That lirst night is one lo he long remem- bered, particularly so far as the class of ’21) is concerned. The following day before lunch found a line of about seventy-live ardent, anxious and green freshmen with expressions on their faces that would suit the occasion for 3155 days in the year. A heterogeneous group, all with good intentions, hut as lo what it was all about was unknown. In those days ha .iug was si ill nuite prevalent and many a night of unrest was spent bv this unorganized group of Freshmen. As lime went on laces became more familiar and we began to know one another more inlimalely. II is olleu said dial familiarity breeds contempt'’, bill Ibis lime it bred organization, and so we be- came a unit. We elected as our presidenl, C. Harold Stepteau, one of the Haltimoro boys, who seem- ed to be (pule popular among bis class-males, and so from Ilia! point uniil today we have remained a unit, one and inseparable, despite the fact that our number lias fallen off considerably. In competition with the Sophs with football and debating we were the unfortunate victims of de- leat, hut despite this we continued lo strive upward and onward. Thanksgiving and Christmas hastily breezed by and there we were about lo enter our lirst col- lege examinations. Such digging and studying was previously unknown. Despite the many threats that were thrown at us in regards to seeing die grass grow green”. Hie entire class survived successfully, something that bad not happened for many years on Ibis campus. After many days of anxious waiting the marks were dislrilmled and Senor Jason, the (piict, mod- est and studious lad from Porto Rico, led Hie ranks. Much lo our surprise our class enrollment was increased and so with the beginning of the second semester came Carrol X. Holmes, from Pittsburg, the Mitchell brothers, Frank and Corey, from Phil- adelphia, Langston Hughes, the nationally and internationally, famous boy .......I, and a few others. Now that we had seen the grass grow green .the expanse of lime between February and June was hastily consumed. The llnals were over and all roads led away from Ihc campus for a few months' vacation. September of '27 rolled around and though all of I lie old faces did not return, many new faces were present in their slcad. Everyone returned with dire intentions of reaping revenge on Ihc new additions to the University, the Freshman Class of '30. but almost before we could got started Prof. Wright had issued forth a warning against severe hazing. A hint lo the wise, was not sullicienf and so afler a (umulloiis Friday night a list was posted in Ironl of Crosson Hall of those who had been a bit too severe in their ladies. Some were doomed for two weeks, others more fortunate for one week. Immediately, a class meeting was called lo protest bill lo no avail. We all served our lime out in the cold, cidd world, and still we were not satisfied. Hair culling had to be dime. AH of the plans were laid and on (lie night of nights we walked and “heat . Everything had progressed wonderfully well, when suddenly we were interrupted by the Pres- ident of the Student Council, and such scattering. Following Ibis there were many threats of permanent expulsion, but we now deemed il wise to get on our “stuir . This year John 1). Redmond was elected lo lead us as president nl the Sophomore class. Mon- tague While.was our Zeus and my, how the Freshmen did duck and dodge to keep oul of his sight, rnlorfunately, lie is not with us now. but we all wish him well. Even though we were jusl Sophomores we were beginning lo feel our importance on (he campus. II is usually this year that (lie biological sciences arc usually a part of our schedule and even Ibougb we were under-classmen il was a dilllcull lask for the Juniors and Seniors lo keep us in our place. As the poet says (treat tilings come lo those who wait , so for I wo long years we were anxiously working up to the point when we could be upper classmen. For our Junior year John Redmond was re- elected as our president and now upper-class privileges were ours. II was our privilege and pleas- ure to stand on the stones in front of Crcsson Hall and be worthy participants in anv of Ihc upper- classmen alTairs. The Junior Prom was the gala alTair of the year. II was given in Philadelphia and many favorable compliments were accorded us for Hie success of the alTair. Last bill not least, We Came lo our Senior year. All of I he ollieers of Ihc class relained their po- sitions from Hu previous year. Oul of I In original 75 members from our Freshmen we only liml 20 remaining of the 42 graduates and 17 half year students. Il is with the greatest of regret that we will not have I hi� pleasure of these remaining 17 with us on Hie platform in June, bill I'm sure I but as long as there is a class of 20 we. will all lie (here one for all and all for one.” The lime has come when our paths must divide. Each must choose bis own Held and I trust Hull each man will go forward into life with the same idea that has prevailed while we have lived here together and llicn when our ten years are up we can all rclurn lo our dear old orange and blue and celebrate our llrsl reunion of the Class of '20.

JENKINS 8 LINCOLN NEWS PROPHECY 4 FTKIt spending an enjoyable lime viewing Paris on my llrsl day, I mnaini'd in (lie lobby of Hie ,J i hold lo formulate some ideas as lo wlial I had. seen Ilia) day before I he evening radio con- X 3L cert slarled. While meifilaling over various scenes and ineidents, my Ihoughls were suddenly mlerriipled h.v a lap on (lie shoulder. I looked around and saw a man of dark complexion and medium slalure. There was something indelinilely familiar about him. so I recalled if was Corey Milchell, with the same cynical expression on his lace , Iml with a dignity and deftness of manner. There was a hearty and cordial greeting, and lie laid me lie was a linaneier in a French Colony in Africa. Ilis trip to Paris was lo transact some, business for Ihc Covernmcnt. While conversing about experiences since college days our allenliou was allracleil h.v three new gnosis entering the Motel, because the three men were engaged in a healed conversation. The hell hoy led them lo the desk, where Hie clerk, Dick Whittington. handed them a hook, to register. Their appearance was familiar and lo my surprise it was Artie 'Thomas, Jim .Murphy and Thurgood Mar- shall. We went (iver lo them and made ourselves known. During the reunion I noticed that the Busy years succeeding I heir school days had changed their appearance greatly. While Ihe conver- sation was going on I learned that Jim Murphy was a representative of the Finance Corporal ion of which Charles Walburv is the President. Ilis mission to Europe was lo establish a credit agency. Marshall is a lawyer, who came lo study Ihe technique of law in France, Ccrmuny and Switzerland. Artie Thomas is a physician, wITo came lo Paris to he relieved from his strenuous practice, for two moil Ilis. Announcement was given in Ihe lobby that the radio concert was abnui to begin in the auditorium. A few minutes later, we arose and entered the auditorium, where quite a number of guests were present. A loud speaker radio was on Ihe platform and a silver screen where Ihe television was lo lie focused. Kcnor Jason. Ihe announcer, started Ihe program hy giving the correct Parisian lime, which was eight o'clock. 'The llrsl number on the program was a quartette selection, rendered hy Messrs. John Coleman, Frank Mitchell, John lledmond and .1. P. Hohinsnn. They had hay windows, golees and bald heads. Their selections were popular numbers, Sweet Adeline, Memory's 'Treas- ure Chest and Lassie O'Mine. The next tiling on the program was a piano duet by Edgar Wimberly and Joe Perkins. The se- leclion was taken from Mary Dowling's Ninth Symphony. Immediately following was a Lincoln Uni- versity drama sponsored hy President Langston Hughes ami directed hy Julie Martin. The topic was Shaw's Man and Superman”. After tlx drama, the announcer fold us lo stand hy for Ilf teen min- utes. We went lo Ihe dining mom lo gel some colfee. 'The head-waiter we recognized to lie Holier! Hurst. Hi told us his assistants were Haves Burnell, Elmer Douglas, Chubby Jones, Carrol Holmes and Clarence Liggon, and Ibis was their night oil'. By this lime, we had consumed our colTee and smoked our cigars. 'Then we departed lo the auditorium to listen to the remainder of the program. 'The second part of I he program was opened hy the Palais D’or Orchestra and Ihe director was Slim Neal, with long (lowing hair and a loosely knolled lie. The opening number consisted oT llildicr's latest number, Discord Blues . 'The evening program had been so full of thrills and adventures we ventured lo look forward lo more shocks. Behold! 'There was Ceorge Charleston playing Ihe sax- ophone, Harmon Perry al Ihe piano. William Polkal Ihe drums and Joe Meadows playing Ihe cornel. We sal there dumfoumled, knowing uol wlial to e.xpecl next. However, later, we found ourselves swaying to Ihe jazzy strains of Ihe music, with its weird, vibrating notes. The playing of the dance music was suddenly inlerrupled. A radiogram was broadcast dial a robbery had occurred a few minutes ago al Hue La Salle. The men robbed were lliree wealthy and prominent citizens, Booker Washington. Leroy Williams and Markie Parks. 'The handils were later caught and arraigned before Court. When brought before Judge Halph Wright they were convicted hy Ihe jury, consisting of Ceorge Femlersou. Oscar Bidd- er. Andy Jenkins. Stephen Mackey, Buddy Leflridge. Leonard Martin. C. Norris, James Steele and Ivan Williams. We conversed for a few minutes concerning the latest incident and gradually each de- parted lo retire. I went lo the elevator and rang the hell. Who do you think was elevator oper- ator? None other Ilian Ulysses Tale. During the course of the conversation lie told me Bill Ware was the starter on the day shift. I went lo my room and began lo undress. While doing so. the onrush of the various occur- rences filled my mind. II seemed queer how Fate had worked mil Ihe destiny of Ihe men in our class. Suddenly I realized there was one member whom I had lost complete sight of. While contemplating about the losl member of our class I recalled that Bill Hill had luken Ihe place of Poland Hayes and was touring the entire country giving concerts. JOHN IL HILL. JH.

L. 18 LINCOLN NEWS THE YEAR'S ATHLETIC8 By Walter E. Longshore H scents Unit along will) llic call for fool-hall candidales, issued laic in the summer hy Coach Morrison, came also I lie call from old man Jinx, for lie remained with us the entire season. He seemed lo hang lighter to “Doe's shoulders than the old man of the sea did lo Sin had the Sailor. Under the tutelage of Morrison, Myers andWalls.the hoys trained hard and showed a groat «leal of pep and enthusiasm. From all indications we were going to have a hang-up season and hopes were running high. Captain Julie Martin looked like a sure hot. running the hall with the snap and vigor of the old Julie of the '20 season when he ran through Tuskogec’s team without any interfer- ence. Several new men showed up very well. To give our hopes that linal skyward boost we hold the mighty A T team, last year's champions, a lormidalde aggregation of corn-lmskies ami farmers, lo a scoreless tie. Having slopped the horrible Horse Lane and his cohorts surely the other teams, including Howard, would he no trouble at all. Then things began lo happen. Julie’s knee went had on him again uud we lost to Union. Shaw, usually no «ipposition at all. put up a battle that worried the hoys no little hit; however, we took them into camp for our only win of the season. in rapiil succession we succumbed to Seminary, Hampton and Morgan. Fate and lmr«l-luck were rilling us hard and making us like it. Senator Hill came in for his share of tough breaks hy gel- ling his leg smashed in the Virginia State game which we managed lo lose also. About this-lime Coach Morrison was badly misunderstood anil was dismissed, while Myers was promoted as head-coach. He knew football and in my estimation could have turned out a good team, luit he lacked one characteristic—the ability to handle men. The entire fault was not to he placed on him. for had the men co-operated and pulled for one as much as the other, there would have been a different story to tell. The dissenlion and lack of interest in the team's playing was flagrantly ob- vious. The Thanksgiving day classic went to Howard for the third time in as many years. The line-men fought like demons and in that one game really gave their all. The Bisons advance through our van- guard was negligible. We out-gained them in that branch of attack, hut they came hy air and our de- fence against this form of attack was crude to the extent of being ludicrous. .So the poorest season in loot-hall Lincoln has known came to a close. As the sombre shades of night foil, the lengthening shadows gathered around that group of Lincoln men as they stood in the centre of the Howard Sta- dium, their tear-stained faces turned heavenward, defeated and broken in body, hut not in spirit, and as they sang the last solemn note oT the Alma Mater the sighing breeze that wailed around us, in the stillness I hat followed, the very silence that had descended like a mantle, was broken hy an ironical, mocking laugh, I hat floated to us on the breast of the Zephyr—“The Fates were mocking us in our misery. BA8KET-BALL In direct contrast to the grid schedule season. Lincoln enjoyed a successful schedule on the court. Coached hy Ted Walls, the quintette look every team into camp except Morgan and Hampton. Games were dropped lo Virginia State and Howard, hut the hoys white-washed them at later stages in the season. Avery was the wonderman of the Orange and Blue Five. The tall lad from Nyack gave .scorers the heehic-jcehies chalking up points as he made basket after basket. He was high scorer and our all-American selection. Syilnor had a good time taking I he hall away from theo (her guy just as he fell sure that he had Iwo points sewe«l-up. Stretch ran Avery a close race for the high point honors. A little ankle I rouble forced him out for a part of I lie season. Captain Whittington, Mac Weatlierlcss, Anderson, and Hawkins were contestants and in rare form. In the C. I. A. A. we finished in third place, being separated from the winner hy a scant margin. BA8EBALL Followers of I lie national pastime can see Ted Walls drilling his candidates into shape as the lime for opening games fast approaches. A stiff tentative schedule is expected to lie played. Cap I. Dick Temple’s services were certainly missed while he was undergoing an operation early in Hie Spring. However, with the consistent veterans of last year and the injection of men like Smith, Jackson, and Young, our team looks like a good bet in the C. I. A. A. pennant race. Jerry Harmon, Hall, Mosel.v and Young compose a formidable array of pitchers, and such catchers as LaMar, Johnson and Charleston, our batteries are of no mean note. The intleld is just alioul air-tight and as long as the opponents hit them there everything is juke. The garden tenders are good on flu defence hut rather weak on the willow. To completely lolsler up our team's stock, we need some slick-men. TRACK Coach Joe llainy made his second pilgrimage to Lincoln to look over his prospects for another championship team this year. The training season started ollicially on April 2. About forty men reported, among whom were a few veterans, a few stars, and a few willing hearts. By graduation, we lost a tentative twelve or fifteen points via Paniky Bryant’s exodus. However, Lee should hold up the hammer in the javelin throw, hut flu shot-pul and discuss thrower is uncertain. Joe’s big aim now is to regain the Penn Itelay title that we allowed lo slip from us. There is a promising group of quarter milers with, Derry properly the most out-standing. 8ohedulo: April 2ii-27—Penn. Belays at Philadelphia. May h—Howard Meet. May II—C. I. A. A. Championships.

CABINET THE OLD E88AYI8T8 AND THEIR WORK8 One fold, gloomy winter's day I went into my study to finish the work or reading which I had begun some months before. A bright lire blazed in Hie fire-place, everything was cozy and conducive to study. I glanced at my desk while contemplating which author should entertain me. Lying where I had dropped them, as I finish- ed with them, wore various volumes of essays. Written by those immortal au- thors: Montaigne, Bacon, John Drown. Addison, Steele, Ooldsmith, Lamb. Dope. HazlilL. Coleridge and many oth- ers. As I looked from one to the other of these volumes a different picture arose against the flickering back- ground of the lire and the shadows cast upon the walls. The word, essay, filled my unsettled thoughts, adding its quieting, soothing, settling touch and conjuring a picture of the first; the father of the essay, Manlaiguc. Montaigne says that: his sole ob- ject is to leave for his friends and relatives a mental portrait of himself, defects and all; ' e cares neither for utility nor for fame. A story is told of how be began I his form of literary work, but why, his biographers alone seem to know. “Digressions are so constant in his essays that they have the appearance of being wilful. The lilies are of a diverse character whose real meaning often have no bearing upon the substance of the essay. Whatever the fault of his works all critics agree that Montaigne has giv- en to the world a powerful, limitless, and unrivalled Torm of literature. During these reflections I had drawn up my chair to the desk and begun to look over the books, intending to choose one for reading. On my right, near the edge of the desk, almost ready to fall ofT, was one of Macau- ley s brilliant essays on Milton. I saw. as in a dream, a wonderful man. said to be an English historian, a politician and an essayist. I fell again the grip of interest. I saw again the panorama of pictures drawn by his words. From his discoursive style one would say I hat he must have been a brilliant conversationalist, this, his biograph- ers say. is true. Hut I had read this, so I looked to another. There was one volume which seem- ed to possess something odd enough lo attract the roving eye. The oddness or individuality of I his book belied its author, Macon. Who can say that Ha- con did not possess a quaint original style, full of witticism and allusion? The matter ‘or Huron's essays’ was familiar and practical; the thoughts were weighty and just, hidden helicalh the outer covering of morality so fa- miliar in his essay. Bacon, I he mail, an English philosopher, a statesman, who failed, was left only literature in which lo express his thoughts, his natural turn was to the essay, thus leaving lo posterity Hie greatest there was in himself. Leaving Bacon, I picked up anulhcr book and opening the pages without looking to the title, I saw a topic. Hood Temper . This at once remind- ed me oT Steele and as one cannol think of Steele without Addison com- ing in for his share of thought, I na- turally linked the two together. In doing so I remembered that Steele claimed that Addison , his dear friend, was greater than he. This perhans is true in that Addison pos- sessed the great gift of genius, lad I'm inclined to agree with the biogra- phers that one is the complement of the other. Another book revealed lo me a mas- ter of expression, a genius, a great artist. I had read his Dream Cliild- ren. So real was the picture depicted that I heard the pattering of flic lit- tle feet; the musical echoes of the voices, and when he awoke. I believed Hint I too had been dreaming. Lamb was an English essayist and critic. His works are exquisitely refined, humorous. genuine and cordial. Throughout his essay runs a vein of pleasantry and heart touching pathos, with great delicacy and tenderness. Indeed, he is among the great, classed with Montaigne. Sir Thomas Hrowue, Steele, and Addison James the Doorkeeper” gave me a view of John Brown, the Scottish phy- sician and author who believed that an author should publish nothing un- less he hud something to say, and had done his best to say it right. This essay was tilled with humour and ten- derness, being in part a character sketch and part a preachment. I could not find upon my desk the author I wanted, so I went to my hook case just inside the door and searched for Holdsmilh, the English poet, play- wright. novelist and essayist. I found his volume of the Citizen of the World . Selecting the first topic to suit my fancy, The Man in Black . I drew up my deep arm chair before the open fire and proceeded to read. Al once I was gripped with the soul stir- ring pathos and the grim humour or flu black clothed gentleman, who preached selfishness, cruelly and hale lo hide the real unbounded, gentle, uu- selllslt love of a noble character; who prcuchcd and yet could not practice what he preached because lie was overflowing with a great, self-sacrillc- ing all-giving love for Immunity. Cold- smith is also ranked with llu greatest of the great. For who, but I be great, can picture so vividly their thoughls as to grip ami hold Lhe interest nT a tired, weary, wandering mind? MACON M.

Then we made a study of I Ik vannus recrea- tional facilities provided' by the mu- nicipality. such as parks, playgrounds, swimming pools, organized recreation in the schools, etc., which was about Ihe most dillicull part of Ihe work, as many olllcials were encountered who had lo be convinced of Ihe ailvisahilily of such a study, l-'inallv. a study was made of II.....ommercial recreational facilities; bv commercial recreational facilities is meant, dance halls, pool rooms, cabarets, resteurauls. billiard parlors, howling alleys, gymnasiums, fraternal orders, etc. Such a survey, as you can easily perceive, is nol a dillicull (ask. although il is very com- prehensive. This survey now places in Ihe re- search department of Ihe Armslrong Association of Philadelohia a com- plete and detailed account of I Ik re- creational facilities of Ihe (lily of Philadelphia.

JIVEIl JACKSON - 3 3- -s ORCHESTRA Story on Page 9 S LINCOLN NEWS 26 LINCOLN NEWS THEATHEI8T THE ATHEI8T small, lias ils radicals, ils agnostics, its pessimists, and ils atheists; and our institution is not an exception. Thera are those who would have the atheist banished from our Christian institution, fearing that his arguments will change other young men. and cause them to follow in the atheistic path. There arc also those who claim that the atheist doesn't deserve to en- joy the privilege of attending an insti- tution that was founded through the hard labor of Christian men. The question that now arises is: must wc keep him or must wc let him go? If we banish him we arc doing injustice to humanity, and if we keep him we arc doing injustice to the youths who come into contact with him. Taking the atheist into considera- tion. he is part of us. with all of his skepticism, all of his pessimism, and all of his radicalism, lie is essentially a part of our make-up; without him we would he minus of an essential ele- ment that makes up the intellectual compound. If we analyze carefully the contents of the atheistic argument do we not find that some of it is valid? Some may say then, if his argument is valid that we all should become atheists, pessimists, radicals. No! Validity doesn't always assert truth; an argument mav be true yet invalid. The radical generally puts forth the valid argument minus the truth, while the Bible champion places his truth in an invalid form. The young man then from Christian homes should seek to place his true argument in a valid form. In our “Bull Sessions. the atheist generally wins with the majority on his side, and leaves our poor hearer of Christian principles drowned in the rolling waves of criticism. Seemingly, every one in the midst belongs to a universal order of atheism, and our “Bible Champion in the Bull Session feels himself a failure. When he ana- lyzes the situation, he finds that it was all his fault for failure, lie hadn’t prepared. Then if he has the grit and courage he sails forth with harder work and more determination. In this way the atheist has helped him. The atheist causes us to consider questions that scarcely would sug- gest themselves to us. lie causes us to study to combat his witty ami timely arguments, lie causes us to strive to pass his eloquence in speech that we may be heard above him. and after all lie cannot hurt, he can only help. S. G. STKVF.NS. ’31 LIFE’8 PATHWAY8 Life is hut a rocky pathway. Coursing straight o’er hill and dale: Mortal beings arc the travelers Faring o'er this tiring trail. But there are many other pathways Leading from the road of life; Smooth and tempting, easier troad. Luring only on to vice. Hearken, then. Oh. Men of Lincoln! Heed to what I have to say. Tread not on these other by-paths. Tread the straight and narrow way. E. G. ROBERTS THE 8TAR GAZER As I gaze into the cold, black, field of sky. Bedecked with teaming points of sil- ver light. I watch the shining disks swing truly on Through countless miles of frigid, airless void. I wonder, if in God's kind Drovidcnce His pleasure was to bless them as our own. To grace them, with a cultured race of men Whose knowledge might surpass our paltry kin. As far as wc the cave man’s simple home. I wonder if the whirling nebula That seems a screen to veil the upper realms Is but a ball of gaseous space Expanding in the raroncss of the void. Who knows, hut it may he a system freed From intercourse with creatures crude as wc. Whose principles of culture wo would mar; Adulterate its great profundity. The Heavens truly elevate the mind. It leads to thoughts of greater things. Oh. why docs God smile down upon us here Who manifest such .feeble, weakly faith? Why do wc gain His providential care While worlds await His guidance and concern? RICHARD LOWRIE. ’30 BOTTLED QERIW8 The largest assemblage of living germs are believed to be in the posses- sion of a famous Vienna bacteriol- ogist. By special permission, the col- lection has been placed at the Uni- versity of Chicago in a special labora- tory. Billions and billions of germs arc estimated to constitute this large collection, enough to start numerous epidemics. The germs, however, will not be in a position to escape and harm humanity. It was once staled that the influenza epidemic was caus- ed by just such a happening, that is. the escaping of a collection of the flu germ. The main purpose of these germs is to try an experiment for the extrac- tion of certain serums to be used as a cure for the disease they spread. Thus, we turn the harmful into the harmless, and instead of being a men- ace to mankind, their purposes are meant to be more or less a blessing. It will no doubt, take vast quantities of these germs to gel a small amount of serum, as in the case of the rattle- snake. Many snake farms arc estab- lished for the simple purpose of se- curing the desired scrum. Probably in a few years, there will he established germ farms, should this experiment prove successful. On the other hand, should these germs get beyond control, the entire mass of the earth's people will he wiped away, no doubt. In this collection are such germs as those which cause typhus, typhoid fever, pneumonia, and tuberculosis, together with numerous other well- known germs. THOUGHT8 Thoughts—that sounds deep and philosophical, doesn’t it? But what I am about to write will not be a philo- sophical treatise. I hone that it will lie what I had hoped it would lie, a rec- ord of my most recent thoughts. Ordinary laziness is no virtue. Many of the world’s greatest invention's have been fostered with the idea of saving our steps, our labor, our time. The genuineness of the world and I he geniuses have helped to give us the onportunily of being lazy. lie a deep, thorough and searching thinker and you can well afford to be lazy. Life as it is, does not allow us to express ourselves as wc would like to, hence wc must find outlet for self- cxnression wherever possible. My friend, tho Audubon man, lies himself to Lite end of a rope and slins over the edge of the Hudson Palisades, a perpendicular cliff. 500 feet high. Self-expression is a necessity, but don't do it haphazardly. And there he dangles with nothing but air to stand on. Then lie unstraps his kit and gets a nest—self-express- ion is a sort of safety valve. Should Ford and Rockefeller pool their holdings they could hardly tempt me to thus coax death to come and get me. I don’t know that I have ever heard of any heathen people worship- ping a spring. Why? I don't know! The movies are such magnificent li- ars that when they exhibit a man do- ing tumbling tricks on a steel girder half a mile above the United Stales I lake it with a big grandma slice of in- credulity. But some men do thrive on peril and would rather flirt with death than with a folly beauty. I wonder if the idle rich are as lazy as other idle people are? One could imagine such men astride a cyclone or throwing a ieg over a Kansas twister with oriental com- posure. Any wav I am not dangling at Hie rope till the hangsman officiates. Really. I don’t see how a man can be loo lazy to drive (he car that takes him to the club, and still be ambitious enough to play 27 holes of golf cov- ering about nine miles of tramp, tramp, tramp. U. S. T.
