THE WOMAN ALWAYS PAYS WHAT EVERY COLLEGE STUDENT SHOULD KNOW The silver moon hung over head. Golden stars sang of peace and romance. The soft winds whispered tenderly, Spring is here. Oh, Night of nights! Will you ever get your own blades, Sinbad? he roared. Oh, go on, l'm too busy to argue with you, you big sap. I'm going out. Where are you going, Alladin? asked Sinbad. Out riding. I'll find something to do around Ninth Street. The strains of Dance Around in Your Stones as sung by the Peni- tentiary Fiven floated up to where the boys were busy dressing. The music touched their hearts. They both determined to have a good time that night. They would even think of the poor prisoners if the chance came. Alladin gave himself an extra vigor- ous application of Cheveaux,l-laar's l-lair Adhesivefn He combed and brushed it until enough static elec- tricity was produced to make a high priced radio receiver. The boys ran through the front door ofthe fraternity house-down the alley-then out with their two horse power Rolls Loose chariot. One horse was called College, while the black one was called Life, Poor College had a sprained ankle but Life helped her along greatly. The moon still hung, but the old man up there laughed because he just heard the story about a'sheik-who met a beautiful farm girl walking near the edge of a forest carrying two small pigs under her arms. The sheik asked the girl to walk with him since he was so overcome with her charm. She said, Yeah, so they walked. The sheik kept on admiring the beauty of this simple, rustic maiden. At last he mustered up enough courage to ask her to walk with him into the forest. You see, gentle reader, the sheik wanted to hunt for pretty little flowers for the nice little girl-honest, it was summer. The girl who was raised in the country refused to go into the forest. She wouldn't go because poison ivy grew in there and besides it Wasn't nice either-in there. The sheik assured the girl that no evil could befall her as long as she carried the pigs under her arms. When the girl heard this she smiled like a night club hostess and said, I'm tired, you carry the pigs. Alladin walked the horses slowly along the curb of the street. Soon it happened! The boy's eyes followed two beautiful female backs. With high hopes the young men caught up to the girls. Sinbad then remarked loudly, lt'll be a nice night if it doesn't rain. The wisdom of the remark made both girls look around. I t was only after they rode two miles out of the city that the girls began to feel at home. It was strange how riding made them hungry. And to think they had just had such a big dinner. The party stopped for ginger a e. When the trip was resumed both boys knew at once that they loved the girls .... but the young ladies could remember no such thing. Sinbad became bold. His arm slipped around her waist. The fair one sat up erect and fixed her eyes on Sinbad's. She gave way to her emotions and expressed her pent up feelings. QConlinucd on page 3075 ' Ju .ul In n .f 302 1

Qrahian igbts bturies CSERIES TWOJ FIRST NIGHT IT sHoULD BE RAINING TI-IE HISTORY OF ABON I-IASSAN, OR THE VALUE OF TURBANS IN WATER POWER When Abon Hassan arrived in Damascus to attend his brother's wedding, he discovered late one night that he had failed to bring his bro- caded turban with him. Since it was soon September fifteenth, Abon I-Ias- san felt he could not appear in a straw turban at such an important function. Abon I-Iassan felt great grief that he should haveoverlooked so impor- tant ai matter. A greatconflict en- sued between his oriental love for squandery and his better Scotch judgment. Alas, one morning he decided to purchase a new turban. Abon went to his brother confessing his deed, whereupon the brother com- forted him. Go to the market and there seek out Khaledon, the turban merchant. I-Ie has wondrous turbans, but take heed of his prices. Khaledon and company are the world's biggest Hgypsf' Whatever he asks for a tur- ban, you offer half the sum. A Many thanks, Brother. I shall obey your instructions. Abon I-Iassan went directly to the market place and found the shop of Khaledon iwithout difficulty, since Abon was a college graduate. The merchant greeted Abon warmly. They talked over their coffee for a few hours. I-Iowever, Abon decided he was in a hurry so he chose a 1 I llfmll ll ll beautiful turban of rich brocade and velvet. I Abon I-Iassan admired the turban greatly and on inquiring its price, he was told it cost eight drachms. I-Iowever, Abon was a college grad- uate, so he remembered his brother's warning. I-Ie offered four drachms for the turban. Khaledon perceived this with great surprise. I-Ie knew the gag was up. Whereupon he said, Friend, your offer is too little. This turban is as fine a turban as Damas- cus can boast. Examine its work- manship and quality. 4 Abon I-Iassan remained firm in his offer. But Khaledon knew he must sell Abon the turban, since business was slow and the rent was almost due. Khaledon said, You offer four drachms for this eight drachm turban. It's too little I tell you, but I'1l ask my partner, Bromoseltzer. I-Ie has a fifty-one per cent. interest in the business while I have a forty-nine per cent. interest. I-Ie controls the prices. Please wait here while I go to his house and ask him whether I may sell it for your offer. I'll wait. I'Iave you anything snappy to read? I-Iere, thanks, this is fine. Khaledon went to his partner's house on foot. After acquainting him with the details of the impending 43041-
