O l Dehcatessen HAM AND EGGS Ham and eggs, the typical American dishl Every true American is acquainted with that wonderful combination. Every .country has a dish of its very own, a dish for which it is noted, for instance, the minute you speak of Italy, you see a heaping dish of spaghetti, everyone knows how fond all Germans are of sauerkraut, and pictures of Spain always bring to one's mind chili con carne or hot tamales. And with the Ameri- cans it is ham and eggsl Every foreign restaurant specializing in American dishes always feature ham and eggs because they know how fond we are of them. But can you imagine the one without the other? Can you imagine setting down before a plate of ham minus the eggs or vice versa? It is too horrible even to think ofl What could be more perfect than to wake up in the morning with the odor of ham sizzling in the frying pan and the knowledge that in a few minutes you will sit down to a breakfast fit for a king. FRANCES DWYER, '28, DISCARDED SPEARMINT VVhat becomes of chewed gum? VVell, if it was the non-parkable kind that was invented in the newspaper not so long ago, this problem would not be quite so hard to solve. VVith this nonparkable kind as soon as it was thrown away it turned into a vapor and immediately disappeared. VVouldn't that be wonderful, though, if we had nonparkable chewing gum in school? If you were enjoying a good chew during class and you heard a stern voice, Are you chewing gumln, you could quickly slip it out of your mouth and away it would go. You could reply, uNo, Sister, and there would be no time to be made up after school. But as we are not so fortunate as to have this kind of chewing gum we will have to find out what becomes of the other kind when we are through with it. The first, and most convenient way of getting rid of it, is by throwing it into the Ere. In this way it is melted almost instantly and goes up the chimney in fumes. Another way would be to throw it out the window on to some soft ground. If it rains, the gum will he pushed down and down until it is Hnally buried in the dirt. If it doesn't rain immediately, the birds might be looking for something to put in their nests to make it nice and soft and they would pick it up and probably cover it up with grass, and they would have a nice soft nest for their young birds. Chewed gum can be, and very often it, thrown in the street. A machine will come along, run over it and carry it along on its tire. It is run over so many times that it becomes very flat and, in the course of time, is made a part of the tire. This is a pretty good way of fixing blow-outs. After this we will try to throw all our gum out in the street and thus be a help to people walking on the walk. By throwing it in the street it gets on the tires and keeps it off of people's shoes. Gum can also be used for mending purposes in place of glue. Many times an old chair or any old furniture can be more easily mended by means of chewing gum than glue. Now, I think I have enumerated enough ways to get rid of chewing gum that in the future we will know what becomes of it. IAIELEN HALEY, '28, 108

Peaches,' was also fond of peaches when heaped high in cream. She was a favorite on the basketball team of her school, and was a good player. She was one that possessed unselfishness, loyalty and co-operation, the dominant virtues of group life, and was well liked by all. Peaches outside of school life was careless, and always out for a good time. Peaches could go into any group of newly made friends and feel as much at ease as if she were in her own home. Peaches', took every opportunity for going riding or hiking. She liked country life and greatly enjoyed to roam about the country meadows in search of flowers. Peaches also had bad habits. A terrible one was that of upsetting every- thing that came in her way. One day as she was passing by the windows she brushed past the ferns and stumbling over the pedestal sent the two large vases to the floor with a crash. The two most prized vases were broken and all because of her carelessness and absent-mindedness. And the worst part was she didn't mind. VVhatls done canlt be undone, was her motto. One week after this happened she came down to dinner, dressed very prettily, thinking of the evening's engagements. As soon as she sat down, in reaching for her napkin, she upset a glass of water that was standing beside her place on the clean white tablecloth. Soon the cloth showed spots of gravy and catsup. Dis- gusted, she turned her thoughts to more pleasant channels. Then the dessert camel Peaches, gazing blankly out the window, suddenly let her hand drop down right into the dish of bananas and cream. The cream splashed up into her face and all over her hands and arms. Half laughing, half crying, she jumped up, looked into the mirror and cried, Peaches in Cream. MARIE GRUNDEY, '28. PORK AND BEANS Pork and Beans, one of Heinz's famous KST' varieties and a well-known combination in the United States has, as it seems, a very queer origin. After years of study and privation in old Madrid, I have finally discovered just how Pork and Beans became Pork and Beans. The story is as follows: A ruler in a certain country had a pet hobby of playing cards until the wee hours of the morning. The result was that almost every morning he nursed a groueh against one or the other member of the household. And what an old grouch he was. He would argue about breakfast. He would argue with every attendant, argue with the chaullieur, and, as a matter of fact, he argued, about and with everything and everyone near him, that is, with everyone except the Queen. It happened that on this particular day he was unusually grouchy, and to be contrary and funny, ordered Baked Beans for dinner. As the Beans were removed from the oven a large piece of Pork fell into the Beans and was served to his Highness in that fashion. VVhen his nibs saw this, he flew into a rage and was terribly insulted to think that someone would dare to put Pork with his Beans. At this point the Queen explained that she was responsible for the dish, and he should be satisfied with it. This cooled his spirit and he ate it and liked it. And that is how Pork and Beans originated. FRED BANGERT, '28. 109
