and at all times from the Annapolis water system. The usual dark blue effect can be produced by the addition of a dilute solution of indelible ink or iodine. Iodine is the best, however, as it is very soothing to any internal complications arising from Hash a la jack, etc., for which the recipes will be given in the next issue. Allow the water to boil until the potatoes are cooked to the depth of I-I6 inch from the surface. Take them out by means of a fork used to turn roast beef, stir fire, etc. Serve in dishes in which a trace of former hash is still visible. It is only after partaking of this delicacy that the true qualities of the potato as an article of food are appreciated. ' Social Calls. There is no prescribed time for making social calls. Any time of day or night that you have nothing else to do is proper., The call is entirely for the benefit of your host or hostess, and you have a perfect right to suit your own convenience as to the time of calling. If the maid tells you her mistress is not at home, call her a liar and go in and find out for yourself. Never let anyone, especially servants, trifle with your dig- nity. If the people upon whom you call are onthe point of going out, offer to accompany them, and incidentally mention that a few liquid refreshments would be very agreeable before starting. The average length of a social call is live hours, so that you can make at least two per day. Remove your overshoes, putting them in your overcoat pocket, and take overcoat, hat and cane with you to the parlor. Somebody might swipe them ifleft in the hall. Use the good old Methodist hand- shake on everybody present. Sit down in the most comfortable chair in the room, but do not put your feet on the piano or organ. If there is nothing doing, you can profitably pass away time by taking a short nap, but be careful not to snore so loud as to wake the pug dog. Wlien you rise to go if your hostess says, So soon ? sit down for another hour. However, when you do go, if there is an umbrella in the hall always take it along! The entire theory of economics is based upon the principle of laying up for a rainy day. M il 216 l 1. 4 l Q l af ,lx

Niggers in general shall be allowed to hold clog dances, cakewalks, etc., in the chapel without restriction, and the use of the College dining rooms for refreshments can easily be obtained upon demand. Passed this tenth dayof March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and two. Unchangeable as the laws of the Medes and Persians these regulations shall stand. By the Most Honorable Faculty of St. john,s College, Formerly King 'vVilliam's School, ' Annapolis, Md. A I Another order, forbidding us the use of the gymnasium on Saturday nights for our fashionable stag dances, has been lampooned by a fourth-floor Hstaggeri' . ORDER. Owing to the fact that the fourth floor is the hotbed of revolution, and that on the aforesaid Hoor all plots for the extermination of all species known as the Faculty are formed, and as it is known that all these plots are made ,after Io.3o P. M, it is necessary that the floor be placed under martial law. Therefore, after March II, 1902, our faithful henchman, K'Pokey, and our faithful Officer of the Day, together with one Annapolis policeman, shall parade the corridor and see that no meetings are held there. A - - C C 1 - And owing to the aforesaid fact, that the 'stagsi have been accustomed to meet in the 'gym.' on Saturday nights, which 'gym.' is the property of the 'hensi on this night, be it 01'de1'ed that our aforementioned henchman, Pokey, be detached to drive the 'stags' out-if he is able. Or if he is unable to drive them out, to let them stay and drive out the 'hens' If unable to do this, he had better clear out himself. By order of that renowned body called ' A - up I D THE FACULTY. - Another provision of the order, concerning the restrictions placed upon the baseball team's hours for practice, was satirized by a baseball player as follows: ' ORDER. A Owing to the fact that the 'GOLF TEAM' will take a trip to Europe to play the Big Four teams and will try for the championshi of the United States the . ,v p , athletic field will be devoted solely to the practice of 'GOLF.' And whereas the Baseball team does not have any games with any other college teams, they will not practice hereafter, for it might interfere with 'GOLF' ' . 218 Q
