She has been very suc- cessful in her career, having foretold many of the marvelous events that have occurred within the past several years. Miss Valeria Telfer, after a strenuous sea- son at Miami Beach, is resting at her country home near McCoysburg. She would welcome any news concerning the whereabouts of her hus- band fNo. 51.

Mr. and Mrs. Keith Putt left for New York last week in their new airplane CHoneymoonD to attend a studio tea given by A. B. Shindler in Greenwich Village. GREENWICH VILLAGE SCENE OF GAIETY A. B. Shindler Delight- ful as Host A. B. Shindler, who has won fame as the ac- companist for Madame Strausinski, entertained a number of friends re- cently at a soiree at his strikingly furnished s t u d i o in Greenwich Village. The guests began to arrive at half past nine and continued to arrive into the Wee small hours of the morning. The first guest to arrive was Dr. Robert Turfler, of Havana, Cuba, the first time in history that Dr. Turlier was known toappear on time. He was closely followed by Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Eger, who were display- ing a new seashell pink sport Fordson. Mr. and Mrsl Putt, of Rensse- laer, arrived in their plane, Honeymoon. Due to congested traiiic Mr. and Mrs. Putt were de- layed and arrived only in time for the farwells. Other guests known to the people of R. H. S. were: ' Congresswoman Florence Wright and her brother, Robert, of Washington, D. C.: Miss Mildred Ramey, who acted as reporter from the New York Timesg Misses Georgena Mc- Callum and Charlotte Chamberling Reverend John Charles Hill and Professor' Robinson. The evening's enter- tainment consisted of the very thrilling and intellectual game of tid- dledy-winks. This soon proved to be too strenu- ous, and the evening was given over to a spelling-bee and a cro- cheting match. The guests departed at an early hour in order that they would be home in time for lunch the next day.

' Maines dz Ihne Moody, Ind. Advertising Mgrs. Graham and Shindler EDITORIAL Now, dear readers, let us have a few mo- ments of quiet contem- plation to rest ourselves from this noisy, bust- ling world. After all the excitement of the day, what could be more pleasant than to sit before the fireplace with its cheerful, glow- ing logs and just re- iiect? But let us get down to our subject. Is it not splendid to have a place where you may go every day and eagerly glean a little information? Is it not a wonderful privilege to have kind, thoughtful, unselfish instructors who are so gentle and patient in guiding your feet up the steep path of knowledge? Do you often stop to think how many more provisions are made for your happiness than were made for the happi- ness of the previous generation? As you hasten happily off to school in the morning, you are, of course, too much enthralled by the anticipation of the many fascinating 'facts which your learned in- structors will reveal to you with their charac- teristically ingenious methods, turning his- tory and English into delightful ro m a n c e s , Page Eiyhtecn and mathematics and science into the most charming and awe-in- spiring types of modern magic, to give much thought to the consider- ation of the fact that your parents were not so fortunate as to get to enjoy the magnificent advantages which you of course deeply appre- ciate, though not, how- ever, as much as you should. You obviously owe much more to the pre- ceding generation than you can ever repay. So, if one of your much re- spected teachers, being overburdened by his work, should become downcast at being un- able to help you as much as he desires, what would please him more than a kind word and a bouquet? If you have no other iiowers, why not take the gold- en dandelion? What matters it if you have only a dandelion with which to express your love? To illustrate, let us quote one of our em- inent boot-leggers who said on one occasion, The spirits are there if the bottle is cracked.

A last lingering ray of sunlight cast its gleam on a single red rose placed before a picture of a handsome naval officer. The de- tectives have been un- able to distinguish the signature which was be- low the picture, and the identity of this man has thus far remained an unfathomable mystery. The world breathless'- ly awaits the result of the investigation. Former R. H. S. Students Establish School In Orient Last Monday Mr. E. Graham and Mrs. M. A. Warren Graham sailed from New York for China. They will spend the next month in learning to speak and write the Chinese lan- guage. They expect to master the language and become leaders of a new school being es- tablished in the inter- ior of China. They hope to be able to teach the pure English language to the young students, trusting no American slang has yet reached the ears of the isolated tribes.

To tell whether or not you are a victim of this insidi- ious affliction, halitosis, go to a little child for the answer, because your best friends will not tell you. S. Hunt: A leak in the roof will stop as soon as the storm is over. M. Johnson: The best method by which to improve the shape of the nose is to keep from poking it into other people's business.

C H A Q S lllilllllllllil 4 nmnnmnnmnnm nmnmu Ellie Ziazzelaerizn PUTT-WISEMAN NUPTIALS A very charming and effective wedding cere- mony was solemnized at the People's Elope- ment Church, Friday evening. The church was taste- fully and beautifully decorated with dande- lions, suniiowers, and asparagus. The bride, who was given in mar- riage by her father, was charmingly attired in a gown of scarlet velvet with a long train, which was carried by two train bearers, the bride's twin sisters. She carried a bouquet of rare orchids and snap- dragons. The brides- maids were attired in yellow brocaded trans- parent drooping green hats ornamented with large red roses. They carried bouquets of, morning glories and sweet williams. The double ring cere- mony was used, after which the bridal party departed to the home of the bride, where an elaborate d i n n e r was served. The menu, which was entirely original, con- sisted of: Frog Cocktail Goat-a-la-king Cow-buttered beans Whipped Irishers Asparagus in egg shells Charlotte Russe Chasse Immediately after the dinner the couple left for New York, from which place they will sail to Europe on the Donforgetchagirl. The b r i d e was beautiful in a sport ensemble of tan. They will be at home at 3609 Main St., Reno, Nevada. All their friends wish them hap- piness, and they hope the Reno atmosphere will have no bad effects upon their wedded life. Page Twenty HALTED ON BRINK OF CHAMPIONSHIP R. H. S. Quintet De- feated by New York Champions Mr. Thomas Wilcox was elected last fall to the position of head coach at R. H. S., where he follows in the foot- steps of E. G. Harrison, who has been retired on a pension. His basket- ball team has just closed a succesful sea- son, having gone to the finals in the national basketball tournament. His Hashy little team was defeated, after a fast and furious battle, by the New York five. It will be interesting to many to know that Lawrence Arnott, one of the older alumni of R. H. S., was one of the sponsors of the tourna- ment. He is now a prominent Wall Street financier but has not .forgotten his love for sports.

Later in the court procedure Miss Johnson was able to appear and she fervently verified CARTUN ING and SINE PANETING Did chepe A U fernish de jack We fernish de brane. Edward Williams, Mgr. Irene Borntrager, Asst. Mr. Karry's story. The jury was gone from the court room more than an hour, try- ing to decide upon the verdict. Upon their re- turn there was a death- like silence in the room when the foreman arose to render the decision. Since this was the first oiense of its kind, the jury saw fit to be leni- ent with this couple, and the decision was: Mr. Karry and his home should be guarded ev- ery night for six months, and Miss John- son must not be seen in company of any man for the same length of time. This, it is hoped, will be an example for the other teachers and stu- dents, and it is thought with such enforcement of laws there will exist at R. H. S. a very pious group of students and teachers. WAR DECLARED ON ARABIA Continued From Page 1 tist, now a very influ- ential shiek of Arabia, when in a potato mash- er duel he slipped on a banana peel and caused his Czecky opponent to fall in the way of a weary camel, which po- litely lay down on him, and under no considera- tion would the camel arise until it was re- freshed. Alas, the poor Czech is before his judge and Paulez Goldezbersh has more to think of than Helen Brimstone as he faces the vengeance of the people.
