She was arrested by the policemen who were guarding the wedding presents. Interviewed in her cell she said, At first I was horrified at my mistake, but now I am quite reconciled. — Tony did eat garlic. MOVIE STAR ARRIVES Dorothy Reach, Broadway and Hollywood enchantress, created a traffic jam around the station when she arrived to appear at the opening of her newest motion picture, Why Boys Leave Home. Miss Reach, whose charms daily captivate millions, was gowned in black and white to match her pet zebra which followed in the custody of two gigantic Hottentots. JOHN F. PAGE SPEAKS AT PRINCETON REUNION Rev. J. F. Page was the dis- tinguished speaker at the Princeton reunion. He de- livered a stirring and inspira- tional address on the momen- tous question, What day will it be if you sit on the North Pole and look at the Battle of Gettysburg? which moved his many listeners, both radio and otherwise, to tears. Mr. Henrj ' Stein of THE PARKADIA announces that EDMONDE HOSKIN, Renowned European and American dancer will appear Every Night during the winter, with tin partner, La Dame Inconnue. SOCIADEMOREPUBLI- CAN CANDIDATE GRANTS INTERVIEW John M. Davis, candidate for the Presidency in the elec- tion this November, was inter- viewed last night at campaign headquarters. He wore, need- less to say, the famous Grey Cap, which he says he will con- tinue to wear if elected, de- spite its very evident age. He is confident in an overwhelm- ing vote in his favor, since he is sure of the votes of all the women. SOCIETY DON JUAN RE- TURNS Mr. Frank W. BlatchfonI of Lake Shore Drive, noted so- ciety leader, returned yester- day from Paris where his fifth wife, Lady Phyllis Chan- cery, has just divorced him.

MILLARD SHOW-ROOMS OPENED The Millard Autobody Company last night held a gala opening of their exclusive new showrooms conveniently located beneath the 400 Club. Many auto bodies, startling in their originality were shown. Pres. Millard has been a designer of such bizarre super- structures since his youth. THE IDEAL COLLEGE William Nichnlls, [President, Dean All Professors PUPrLS ACCEPTED HERE ON FACE VALUE ONLY Some brains permissible, but not re- quired. Here is your chance! THE PARKADIA IS RAIDED AGAIN For the second time this week the Parkadia, notor- ious roadhouse was raided by officers ot the law, who brusque- ly dispersed the merrymakers and took the proprietor, Mr. Henry Stein, into custody. The police found five packages of cigarettes and seven cigars hidden in the cellar of the Parkadia, so Mr. Stein was held for flagrant violation of the 23rd Amendment. UNPARALLELED FEAT ACCOMPLISHED The red-haired aquatic won- der, Susan Burlingham, at last has fulfilled her childhood ambition. Followed by hordes of newspaper reporters in motorboats, she easily swam the English Channel and back again in two hours, five min- utes, and thirty-six seconds. HAMM WINS AUTO MARATHON Amid the cheers of 70,000 spectators Pete Hamm crossed the finish line, winner of the New York-San Francisco Auto Marathon after a gruel- ling three days.

Senior Motto Dux Semper Fidelis NURSERY RHYMES Petey, tho no one can say That he is overgrown, Is the greatest little lad That we have ever known. He plays the banjo, and wears snappy clothes. He has a Dodge sport, and a lop-sided nose. Billy, Billy, don ' t be silly! Your mind is far too slow. Fifty bucks beats ninety bucks For Toy Shop expenses, you know. Little Hi Millard thought very, very hard. That his brains he was a-using, we could see. I ' ve got it! he screamed. Fourth dimension? we beamed. No, my Latin assignment, said he. Rock-a-bye, Maxine, in the tree top. Only when the bough breaks will her talk- ing stop. However there ' s sense in most she does say. She hopes to be a great doctor some day. Last year ' s Year Book said that Susan Was quite quiet in a crowd, And we ' re glad that we can say That she is still not very loud. The indoor sport of seniors Seems to be, this year, to try To make poor, picked-on Hieny blush. And he ' s darned if he knows why. Ding ' dong bell, Here ' s something sad to tell! Frank has lost his pin. A heart he hopes to win. Who found it out? Johnny Davis without doubt. Little Joe Page, while otherwise sage, Will never wear a belt. Should a button come off, or he give a hard cough, !! ? (blush), help, help. Old King Cole was a merry old soul, And he never did a single bit of harm. Yet when he called for his pipe, They couldn ' t find it anywhere, For Edmund 11. was trying it behind the barn. Barbara came here from New York. Wears her dresses rather short. But we hope she ' s here to stav. We kind a like ' em worn that way. Marian, oil, Marian! our form and carriage are a joy. We arc sorry lor the team ' s sake, That you were not made a boy. Johnny had a worn-out cap. ' Twas old, disheveled, brownish-grey. The reason that he wore it was To keep the girls away. A really most peculiar girl is mistress Dorothy Reach, For after explanations, when the teacher ends his speech, With pleasant smile and questioning eye, She raises up her head And asks, please if the teacher won ' t repeat the words he said.
