It is my con- tention that any person between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one who has passed through an exceptionally nerve-wracking and disappointing period of four to seven years, such as high school, will experi- ence a complete change in his way of life within a period of twenty years. All the- ories must have some sign of proof. Through the efforts of an eminent and nationally unknown scientist, Arthur Morris, and myself, there has been pro- duced a very complicated mass of nuts, bolts, springs, levers, and erasings from notebooks, which definitely has shown the state of this part of the world thirty years hence. The United States is no more. The ruler of our unfair country is Queen Mar- tha of Rawlings. The very sad and hen- pecked king is that demon of the knitting needle, King Cecil of Poe, The latest royal scandal reported by Editor Margar- et Holbrook says that the king talked back when Queen Martha showed him where he had knitted two stitches instead of perling three, This scandalous incident was immediately taken up by that eaves- dropping, slinking gossiper of the press Sir Philip of Walker. Sir Philip spread and slung so much propaganda that the country was threatened with civil war. The men of the country rallied to the aid of their fair king under the leadership of that golden tongued 10-karat-plated ora- tor, Sir Tom of Lumpkin. His Lieutenant was Sir Francis of Ray. Sir Francis says that men should have the right to knit as they wish. It gives mens' skirts that personal touch. To oppose this faction is the womens party led by Madame Paul Ader better known by her maiden name, Mademoiselle Lena Sue Shermer. She says that there should be no deviation from those rules set forth by the Union of Page cnc hundred forty-four Ladies' Aid Societies. Mademoiselle Shermer became famous as the leader in the anti-poetry movement, She was suc- cessful to the extent that Mother-Goose Rhymes must be printed in the prose ver- sion. The whole affair was settled, how- ever, when the King Cecil of Poe, agreed to recant and remove the unethical stit- ches. The biggest business in the country is the Royal Brewery Co. The principal stockholders are the former Misses Mary Iris Ferrell, Gladys Weatherman,Alice Broadway, Lorrain Lewis, and Wilma Garwood. Their husbands are Willie Al- good, Bill Rawlings, Tom Cauble, W. McGee, and Forrest Conrad. These dis- tinguished personages form the most pop- ular sextette of the day. Harmony is most noticeable after a meeting of the oflicial board of the Royal Brewery Co. when they meet to take care of the sur- plus stock, Every respectable country must have a circus. This country is respectable. The man on the flying trapeze is Shore Neal. The component of his act is Lucia Iohnson. The climax of the performance is the triple somerset by Miss Iohnson in- to the arms of her waiting and anxious partner, catching by one hand. The show was- nearly wrecked when they fell in love and Miss Iohnson used both hands con- sistently. They had a light, however, and were married, so the show came back to normal. The dazzling blonde equest- rians in the big ring are Edna Earl Cli- nard, Frances Morgan, Hannah Smulin, and Marguerite Pegram. If one will look closely one can see that all four of them are making eyes at the peanut and pop- corn man, Eugene Williams. He is not interested, however, and is calmly stand- ing by a monkey's cage and showing the occupant how to use his face to the worst CContinued to page l95j BLACK AND GOLD
