THE HOOSIER A BATH IN BLOOM- INGTON. ON GETTING tBy Martha Jean McFaddinJ Just now the, most desirable thing a man can do is to get a bath. Ordinarily such a, heading for sueh a theme and especially of five hundred words would he scoffed at, now it is taken into grave consideration. Anyone who is a girl and has heard Miss Maxwell and Miss Wells talk in Physical Education knows that even a Freshman must occasionally step in up to her knees. But where to stepi2 If Diogenes were only alive today, he would find a far more practical use for his lantern than Hooking for an honest manfl in all probability his very home, the proverbial barr'el would he at this very minute placed in front of some sorority house, in expectation of the falling dewidrops. 'In the day of trial we might use the cannons that were shot for Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn when they were supposedly drowned in the Mississippi; a cannon shot now and then is supposed to ttpour forth what comethW A large, part of the population of Bloomington appears well pleased at its seeming state of uneleanlinessethe lioys. There never lived a true boy who liked anyone to wash his ears better than to have that same HmeddlingH per- son go through his trousers, pockets where he kept his best fishing line. Being a girl, and having three brothers to compete with, I early in life decided to be forever clean. At the time I made that resolution my College Career was still in the mists; I certainly had no idea that I would ever live in a City where bathing was a luxury. When I first came down, my landlady took :1 good View of my epidermis and said hTen minutes is the limit in the bath room? You can imagine my surprise and chagrin at such a remark, when I knew how perfectly dirty that time-woru ttMo- nonli had become in my eyes. A ttMo- nonv makes a good ttMononil but never a, train. In fact, riding daily on a Monon train would be good training for anyone aspiring to the depths of mining. You may believe that I never worked harder in any ten minutes than I did my first turn in my landlady's bath- room. Then, the high water mark was two inches in the bathtub; that same high water mark still remains, there not being enough of the precious fluid to wash it away. Daily at our assigned times, we, of the household, pass by and review it as we would a, lost brother. Indeed it is a lost friend, the water of our landladyls bathtub. Every morning when our Stnrlnntll is slipped under our door, we grasp it teehly to hear of any news of water. We feel a great deal as the, Ancient Mariner would have felt if he were stranded in Bloomington and had killed by accident one of the universitylsI Tut keys. which act had brought down a great vengeanee on his head, and the community. Soon, those who start out at ten min utes of eight every morning will do so with tongues that cleave. the sides of their jaws, and their parched lips will only be, another evidence of the great, scarcity of water. Now, since a bath is utterly out of the question. we must discuss it no longer. Just to show that fate still has its irony, my mother sent me a raincoat this morn- mg.
