The World Court is a result of three ideas: Hi The growth of the idea of arbi- trat'ng disputes between nations instead of going to war to settle them. Q23 The four steps in arbitration from no arbitration to Compulsory arbi- tration. Q33 The three institutions which have been created to effect arbitration, of which the VVorld Court is the last. Grozcfflz of the Idea of Arbitravtion - The idea of settling disputes between na- tions by reasoning together, that is, by arbitration. is almost entirely the devel- opment of this generation. The first quarter of the twentieth century is marked by the first organization of gov- ernments for the purpose of the peace and unity of the world. Before that a few governments had made treaties agree- ing to arbitrate disputes, but such agree- ments were limited to certain kinds of disputes, usually those that do not lead to war. On January 11, 1897, the United States and Great Britain made a general arbi- tration treaty agreeing to settle all dis- putes, within certain limits, by arbitration. This was a great step in the growth of the idea of arbitration. The Four Stops in Arbitration-In all history only four ways have been devel- oped to settle disputes between nations without going to war, and although each is an advance on the preceding, all of them are still in full operation. The first is the process of diplomacy-that is, by adjust- ment through regular representatives of the governments. For instance, if Eng- land and the United States had a dispute about a boundary line, the Secretary of State of the Un'ted States and the Min- ister of Foreign Afiairs of England would try to reach an agreement. or two diplo- mats representing the two governments would do so. If diplomacy fails, the neict resort has been to agree to arbitration through indi- viduals chosen by the parties in the dis- pute under special arrangements made by 6 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER them at the time. If they fail, or the agreement has been reached, these special arbitrators are dismissed, and if there is another dispute between the same two nations, another set of men must be ap- pointed to arbitrate it. This is an advance because it called in men from nations other than the parties in dispute. The third advance has been for several natfons to make a common treaty in which the makers agree to arbitrate the disputes that are classified in the treaties, through a special list of arbitrators from which to form courts for that purpose. This is an advance because it required the estab- lishment of the Hague Tribunal. Before the formation of the Hague Tribunal, when two nations really wanted to arbitrate a dispute, they had at hand no agency ready, able, and authorized to undertake the task. The nation had to sperd time and good-nature trying to agtee upon the time, the place, and the personnel of arbitration, and sometimes in doing so they greatly involved the quarrel at hand. The fourth and last development is to have a hard and fast agreement to submit all classified disputes to a definite court, composed of a definite number of em- inent jurists, who are duly elected by all the nationsg a court located at a definite place and always ready, and that does nothing else but settle disputes brought before it, and whose opinion shall be final. That is the World Court. Three World Institutions for Arbitra- tion-Out of the conferences of 1899 and 1907 the Hague Tribunal was formed. Each of the nations involved in this agree- ment was to appoint four recognized in- ternational lawyem from among its citi- zens. From this standing list any two na- tions in dispute may select five men, who go to the Hague and hear and decide up- on the case. The Hague Tribunal was the first world institution for arbitration and is very important to the World Court because it nominates the judges for that Court. The League of Nations is the second permanent institution and is the second step in the operations of the World Court as its members elect the judges of that Court. The Covenant of the League of Na- tions recommended the creation of a World Court: so in 1920, the League Council appointed ten eminent jurists from ten n-ations to draw up the plan for the Court and Elihu Root was the jurist chosen from the United States. These jurists drafted a plan and submitted it to the League of Nations: it was approved in October, 1920. Although the plan was approved by the nations in the League, it was necessary that a sufficient number of Nations, irrespective of whether or not they were members of the League, should sign a distinct treaty agreeing to adhere to the Court and to come under its juris- diction. This treaty attached to the Con- stitution of the Courtnis called the World Court Protocol. This Protocol makes it possible that a nation in the League nmy not adhere to the Court and that a nation not in the League may adhere to it. The preliminary steps of nominating and electfng were taken, so that on jan- uary 30, 1922, the World Court met for the first time.

He had come there as :1 young man and was now too old to keep the lighthouse any longer. It grieved him to think that the government no longer wanted him because he was old. He thought some younger man would get the job who would not be half as faith- ful as he had been. Somehow. the younger generation had not lived up to his standards. His son, Paul, had cared nothing about the sea and had left his people and gone to live in the city. The old couple missed him sadly, but he had never returned and had writ- .airs 4' io THE CRIMSON RAMBLER ten that the city was the only place to live. It was Johnls duty to light the revolv- ing lamp each night and to keep the light- house bright and shining. Near the lighthouse was a life-saving station, which was almost always busy during the storms. There had not been a storm for several weeks, but there was one approaching. Tl e waves were beating on the shore and the rain and wind were making we-'rd noises. While John and Martha were listening to the storm, they heard the life- sz'.'.'e s !aunch'rg their boats. ,lohn had not been very well for several weeks, but he felt that he could not miss the joy of leng out in the storm. By t e time he reached the shore, the life-savers had gone As he was running to one of 'he clilfs where he might watch them, he slipped and fell among the rocks.

Who are you and where did you come from P asked john. The boy answered. I am Arnold I-I-ale from Cambridge. I have always lived in the city. but I hate it. I am going to visit my grandfather at Stony Point. He is a lighthouse keeper and I would like to be one. Do you know him ? John was so happy that he took the boy hcvzre to Martha and told her that they had company who was going to stay with them always. Arnold Hale became the lighthouse keeper of Stony Point and a very proud and delighted grandfather assisted him in his duties. B. M. S., '26. A WILD DREAM It was one bright sunny day in winter. It was one of those days when it seemed almost impossible to stay inside. It seemed as though I must get out on my skis or snowshoes and take a hike: but there was Latin staring me in the face, and I decded if I wanted to get out in the afternoon, I must get busy and trans- late. I began to study. All at once I seemed to be going up. The teacher's voice be- gan to grow faint. I looked around and found I was in an airplane. Latin was forgotten, for the sensation of riding in this plane was wonderful. At one time we were skimming through the air at a rapfd rate, then we were dfpping and turning. I was somewhat frightened, but still. I enioj ed the ride. After we had ridden, what seemed to me, quite a few minutes, we began to descend. VVe were landing on an island and as we came nearer I could see a small crowd of people. When we had landed I was astonished to Find Miss Brewster and my Latin class with Cicero under their arms waiting for recitation. I did not have time to ask why they were there nor how they came, for Miss Brewster called class. I was the first to translate. What a change had come over mel How easy it all seemed! How simple the pronunci- ation! For the first time I heard Miss Brewster say, Excellent, Marion. She called 'on the rest of the class to read. THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 11 There were some very hard parts, which no one could translate but me, much to her surprise. She said, What has come over you P It was all so easy I would like to have had Latin class last all day, but just then the pilot said, Marion, it is time to go. At the sound of Marion, I was aroused to find one of my classmates calling me to go to Latin class. I sud- denly took up my Cicero and started with the others, trying to collect my thoughts. When I arrived in class I found my bril- liancy of the dream class had all vanished and Cicero was to me as blind as ever. M. E. R., '26, OUR SCHOOL There is aplace in Sebago Lake Village, Where many young folks dwell, This place is Standish High School, If I am obliged to tell. One may hear there in the class rooms The clatter of many feetg The sound of doors that are opening, And voices, familiar and sweet. A sudden rush from the class rooms, And a sudden rush to the stair, W'th all the doors left open, They come from everywhere. It is a terrible hustle and bustle To gather up the books, and all, Because when the signal is given, We must answer the class bell call. We Pave a principal in Standish High, Mr. Johnson is his name: Although he is not so very large, He gets there just the same. He teaches us Physics and Alqebra, And seems to enjoy it, too: But there is one thing I must tell you,- They are both very hard to do. Another thing you must keep in mind, That we have three other teachers thereg A great search it would be, to find Some that would with them compare. And after we have graduated, And are in this world to roamg May we often think of Our School Which we are proud to call our own. S. E. S., '26. TRYING TO STUDY WHILE MY NEIGHBOR PLAYS HER PIANO After eating my dinner yesterday, I went into the living-room and fished my schoolbag from beneath a much over- loaded table where my sister and I keep our school supplies. With the bag in one hand and a package of my favorite gum in the other. I started upstairs. My mother called, Take those clean clothes upstairs, will you ? I promptly informed her that those clothes belonged to my sister and that I wasn't any horse, but that didn't make anv difierence. I had to put them away, too. Finally, I was settled in my sister's room, and with a good sized chew of gum in my mouth I-. began to study Civ- ics. I read about three pages and had just come to a line that read something like this, In the importance and diversity of its business, the Department of the Interior ranks- I got no farther for the words changed to the words of a song, I wanna go where you go, do what you do- My neighbor's piano was being played. I listened a minute and then returned to my book. In the importance and diversity of its business, -the Interior of the Depart- ment- If you go North or South, if you go East or West- In the business offimportance and diversity-! The voice of my neighbor singing the popular song Then I'll Be 12 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER Happy came more plainly through the window. My book slid into my lap and my thoughts went wandering back to the dance where I had first heard that song. Suddenly, slam! went my Civics on the Hoor. Several dozen papers of various sizes and colors danced all over the rugs. I managed to round up the papers after a while: by the time this was done the music had stopped I opened my book again and began reading. This time I had better success and read for several minutes. I heard the piano again, but I was so interested that I cl d not recognize the piece and reld without being dis- turbed. Peace did not last long, however, for presently the notes of The Prisoner's Song came Hoating into the room. I listened, partly because I wanted to see how well my neighbor could play the piece and partly because I like the piece. I sat with my head tipped back, and chewed slowly in time with the music. I wish I had someone to love me, someone to call- The ceiling over my head grew blurry and the words of the song became fainter and fainter and pres- ently died away. Ruth! I jumped, my sister was standing in the doorway and laughing very hard. Wh3t's the matter ? I asked, and before she could answer I added, Gee, my jaw is stiff l Well, I should think it would be broken, said my sister, I have been watching you for the last five minutes and you have been chewing in time to that music. The music being played this time was That Certain Party of Mine. I got up, slammed down the window, took up my bag, and going into the back hall, sat down on the back stairs, and fin- ished reading my lesson. R. M. C., '27. ' MY DAILY TRIP TO SCHOOL I think one of the most interesting events of my daily life is the ride on the train which I take every morning In the first place. it is very evciting in- deed to be compelled to rise at six o'clof'k everv morning. After I eat breakfast. I make a wild rush for coat, hat, and over- shoes. Finally I am ready. and start for the station with two of my girl friends. along, thinking we Sometimes we rush are late, but find. on arriving at the sta- tion, that the train itself is thirty minutes late. At other times we take our time in starting, which compels us to hustle on the last stretch. One very cold morning. after hurrying to the station, we found the station agent had overslept and the station was tightly locked. We nearly froze. hut we man- aged to escape death by keeping in rapid motion on the station platform. Finallv. iust as the train whistled around the curve. we saw the station agent running at a terrific speed down the track. He barely reached the station before the train did. There was no time for us to get warm. We were very indignant girls. When we get on the train mornings. it is an amusing sight to watch the different passengers. After we are settled in our seats, if we are lucky enough to get one, we observe our fellow travelers. There is always the man who has rid- den all night and who is very tired. His fu THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 13 head nods slowly back and forth with the motion of the train. He wears a hat which is pulled far over his eyes. When the train stops or starts, his head jerks suddenly back and forth, thus disturbing his peaceful slumber. Down in the far end of the car is a small baby-, who can be heard wailing sorrowfully. It finally gets its eye on a bright red hat, worn by the lady in the next seat. Then the wailing ceases. Sometimes there are boys and girls from other high schools on the train. T hey are always ready with some saucy remark or some comment on our appear- ance. W e always laugh and endeavor to an-:wer with some equally witty remark. We always groan when we hear the tr: n whistle for Sebago Lake. We soon forget our troubles, however, and are on our way to the school building. We are always very glad when our janitor has a good, hot fire for us. We are equally as angry when we find the schoolhouse cold. Sometimes it seems rather tiresome to fo low the same program every day, but I am sure that as a general thing, we all enjoy our trip to schoolmevery morning. E. M. C., '27, ,..lL..i-.

As the traintsped alongfftay mind wandered back home and to my classmates whom I had not seen for twelve years. As I sat there thinking, an elderly man came along and sat down beside me and began to talk about the great progress made in spiritualism. and other similar sciences, during the past year. Q As we sat there talking, he spoke of a great spiritualist in New York who could put her mind in connection with any other mind and tell the pest and oresent. I immediately decided to call on this per- son on my arrival in New York. ard see if she could tell me anvthfng about my classmates. Upon arriving in New York, I went directly to the address which the man had given me. Upon entering the building, I went into a beautifully furnished room. Not seeing anyone for quite a few min- utes, I became frightened and started to 14 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER go out, when a gruff voice said, About wl'om have you come to inquire ? Startled, I suddenly thought of my former classmate and called timidly, Edna Racklifff' Edna Rackliff graduated from Stan- dish High in 1926 and from there she went to the University of Maine, and later, to a medical school. She is now a great doctor in New York. The voice stopped and a faint tremor rustled the curtain behind which the me- d'um sat. I immediately said, Where is Alfred Libby? Alfred Libby is in prison. The au- thor Beulah Storah attacked him severely for one of his speeches against women and lfe was convicted Beulah drew most of her proofs from her former life at Standish High. The voice again ce'sed and I, thrilled by t e story which she had told me, asked for Og'lvfe Allen After a short time, the voice said. Ogilvie Allen has entered the movies. I-Ie has won great fame by his extraordinary beauty and charming grace, and is making his way higher and higher as an idol of the screen. Ne was married in 1928 to Eleanor Christie. who is now with him in Californiaf' Losing some of my fright, and being eager to hear more about my classmates, I asked for Teddie Varney. I have but little to say concerning Marion Varney. She is now secretary for the President of the United States. I ne-ft said, What is Helen Usher do- ing P Helen Usher, she began, has opened a dancing school in Boston, where she is teaching all the latest steps. She has been very successful. Yes? I said, and where is Alfred Dolloif P At this time the medium stopped for quite a few moments, then she said, Al- fred Dolloff is living in the town of Stan- dish. He married a Freeport girl. He has been trying to win his second cham- pionship in potato raising in order to get a free trip to Orono, but has so far failed. Then I inquired for Dorothy Gratfam. Dorothy Graffam is living in Port- land, Maine. She hasn't as yet acquired a husband, but is still hopeful. For work she teaches a kindergarten. I had but two more to ask about. These were Frances Ramsdell and Susie Sanborn. I first asked for Frances. Frances is one of the greatest lawyers in New York City. Undoubtedly you have seen her name several times, but have not recognized it. I now inquired about Susie Sanborn. The medium came from behind the screen and advanced toward me. Peing fright- ened, I arose and started for the door. As I was going out of the room, I was stopped by a hand pressing upon my shoulder. I stopped long enough to glarce around. The medium had ur- vei'ed herself, and who should it be but Susie Sanborn herself! After a long tall: with her, I continued on my way toward home. M. E. R , ,26. BOB BY'S PAL Nearly everyone has a hobby, and Bobby's was dogs The worst part of it all was that he had never owned a dog. The other boys of the village whom he played with owned dogs, but Bobby's THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 15 father did not approve of them. The only animals which interested him were pure bred racing horses. Dogs are vi- cious animals, but horses can be trusted, was Mr. Dale's favorite saying. In spite of this, a small mongrel dog had attached himself to Bobby, while he was fishing in a nearby creek. After much thought, Bobby decided to take him home with him. It would be easier to brave his father's anger if the pup were with him. As soon as Bobby reached home, he went to milk the cows. I-Iis father was out in the stable with his pet horse, Nancy. She was a high spirited animal and very nervous. Bobby was afraid of ber, although he did not dare to let his father know it. Father, ventured Bobby, would you care so very much, if I had a dog? I-Ie's just a pup, anyway. What! bring a dog here when you know how I detest them ? But, father, protested Bobby, I'm sure he'll be good and not bother you. So the dog stayed and was christened Pal, by his proud owner. For Bobby's sake only, he was tolerated by the other members of the household. Bobby had never been so happy before. He and Pal spent their days roaming in the fields and woods together. One day they -arrived home to see Mr. Dale and Nancy in the barnyard. Bobby's father called to him to help him, for the horse was nervous. lust as Bobby reached the gate, he saw Nancy throw-Mr. Dale from her back and run back and forth through the yard. Mr. Dale tried to rise, but found himself confronted by the horse. just as he felt that he would be killed, Pal jumped into the enclosure and leapt straight for the horse's throat. That gave Mr. Dale a chance to protect himself and to get con- trol of the horse. When the horse was safely in the barn, Bobby went to look for Pal. He found the brave little dog lying in the barnyard with a broken leg. Bobby took him in his arms and wondered if dogs always died with broken legs. ,lust then Mr. Dale entered the yard. There, he said, I've sent for a veter- inary to set that dog's leg. Don't be rough with him and hurt him. He has saved my life. You should be thankful I insisted on your keeping him. I always said he was a smart dog. . B. M. S., '26, THE NIGHT OF THE DRAMA Listen! what a sudden rustle Fills the hall! All the girls are in a bustle, Hear them call!

'I wonder if they really feel as cross as they sometimes look, or do they mere'y feel that it is their duty to appear that way? Some- times they will stare at one with a far- away 'cok in their eyes, but their thoughts are not so very far away. Sometimes when one of the kids', does' something that the rest of us thinks is very funny, the teachers never crack a smile. ,I wonder, though, if I do not see a twinkle in their eye? I wonder if all teachers mean those sarcastic remarks which so often es- cape from their lips? If we took them all literally, some of us would be heart- broken, I am afraid. I wonder if they are sorry for us when we fail in exams. Some of them are, I am sure. I remember an incident which once happened in school which makes me think that teachers have the same feel- ing as the students have. One day my French teacher was keeping charge over the Assembly Room. All were very busy studying, when suddenly there sounded a rap on the door. The teacher went to answer it. The gentle- man whom she admitted we immedi- ately recognized to be the village pastor. The seats then used were the old- fa s h i o n e d collapsible kind. The teacher directed the pastor to a seat, where he sat down-or attempted to. He landed on the floor. The seat had collapsed. Of course as all of the students thought it would be a sin to laugh at the elderly gentleman's mis- fortune, we endeavored to keep our faces straight. When we looked at the teacher s face we decided that it had not occurred to her how sfnful it was to laugh. Her face was hardly recog- nizalzle it was so red and twisted. I surely think that no one had to w8Qder what that teacher was thinking about. E. M. C., '27. LATIN A language which is dead and gone.

B., '27, l-iii, THE ALARM CLOCK Aw, gee! School tomorrow! just think after all this long vacation ! Slowly, oh so slowly, I climbed to my room. My eyelids were heavy with s'eep. I groped my way to the table lamp and lit it I gazed bewildered Di'-the nickel-plated, ninety-eight cent, self-starter Big-Benf' After th's long two weeks' rest it would be in use again. I staggered up from my chair, fullil with my feet weighing thousands cf pounds, I pushed myself over to Ye Olde Torture Instrument. I grabbed it roughly by the middle, pul1ed,the lever up with cruel fingers, and twiQd the time-key horribly. Golly, nothing was wrong with the old sleep-killing machine. It would wake me up to- morrow. I lay awake a long t'me thinking of the sol row of the morrow. What teachers would I have? I hoped I'd have that pretty Miss jones for Eng- Ilsh Gee, she's a nice easy marker, and theigreat Mr. Smith for Math, he's the man that c'n teachg old Mr. Brown, the Hunker's friend, for Bi- clogy. There's not a go0d-Latin- teacher at the school. They're crabs, but wish'd I'd get Bailey-he's go'- an' fun. At last blessed sleep over- took me. I watched the crowd of eager pupils push through the assembly hall doors, and H11 the seats. Huh, I had a seat down front. Oh, joy was mine! Miss Armstrong had said that either I or Samuel Silver would get first prize for the junior essay. My heart 'beat rapidly with expectant bl.ss, and pride, and hope. What gladness! Our honored principal rose and strode for- ward amid utter silence. He raised his voice, and without many prelimina- ries, he began to announce the prizes. My heart thumped with anxiety. In a haze I vaguely heard the senior prizes. After what seemed an eternity to me, the prlncipal looked up with a smile :nd said, There has been very close competition between two Samuels for the first prize of the junior class. Here my heart beat so loudly I thought all would hear. My frlends watched me closely. The principal continued, I am pleased to confer the honor of first prize upon Mr, Samuel S .... An explosion, a blast, a crash of thunder-bolts split my ear-drumsg a hoarse staccato of wild, mocking shrieks! Fleeting visions of police and hre bells crossed my mind. A roar, a c'atter. a jangfe, a smashing as of a thousand jazz orchestras came to my ears. I blinked around, stunned. Where was the Fire? VVhy the shrieks and bangs, the storms of hideous chords-the death wail? Suddenly my m.nd cleared. I pounced on the Big Ben, the thunderboltg I jerked down the lever till it bent. I raised the clock high over my head. I was just about to dash it to the floor, when- Gee, it cost me ninety-eight cents. Curses- if not for the blamed old clock I would have won the first prize. O. S. A., '26. 18 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER MY COMPLAINT Now the baseball season is at hand And I am anxious for a game, Only snow and mud is o'er the land And life to me is very tame.

' AN OFF DAY One hot day early in june I came home from school tired and rather out of sorts. It had been one of my off days Everything seemed to have wrong. The first thing I had was to spill a bottle of ink all my desk and several books I gone done over next had gone to English class to find that I had studied the wrong lesson for the day. I hafllgot along very well in Shorthand, missing only twenty-words. On my typewriter I had done nothing but make mistakes every other line. I had got through my study periods somehow without going to sleep. The last period of the day I had General Science. As this was usually easy for me. I had not stud ed my lesson much. But today I think the teacher must have asked questions that were never fn the lfook and that no one had ever heard of before. I had made a guess at some of them, but of course the guesses had not been right. Because of these mishaps, I had come home rather disgusted with myself! After dinner I decided to take a long walk in the woodsslaefore studying my lessons for the next day. I took my Shorthand book under my arm and wandered into the woods. I walked until I was tired, and, coming to a little brook, I sat down on the bank of it under a large tree, and began to study. ' When my lesson was partly learned, I lvegan to grow drowsy and was soon fast asleep and dreaming. I was no longer going to school, puzzling over Woolley and banging on the old type- writer. I was with my chum, Edna. As we had always said we could never be parted, when we were through high school, we had decided to buy a cottage and live together. Now I seemed to be ini the northern part of Bridgton, near a portable sawmill which was sur- rounded by timber for miles and miles. There were also many camps in the woods where the workmen lived Back of the mill there was a pile of sawdust, wh'ch appeared to be miles and miles high. At the foot of this was a small cottage, and Edna and I were sitting in the door-way talking and laughing happily. We had bought this cottage soon after leaving high schoolg we had worked for a year or two and during this time had furnished the cottage so that now it was very comfortable to live in. We were now in the sawdust bus'ness together. We had bought some machinery to bag the sawdust with and were selling sawdust by the bag. I We had been in this business for several years and were mak'ng it pay, when one day a business man from the city had come to visit us. He wanted us to make sawdust dolls, and agreed to buy all the dolls that we could make. VVe hired men to look after the bag- ging of the sawdust, and we began to make sawdust dolls. At first we' did not have very good luck doing this, THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 19 but soon began to receive better profit from the dolls than from the bags of sawdust. b On this particular day Edna and I were talking of having some of our school friends come to make us a visit, to see what a fine business we were carrying on and to estimate how many dolls could be made from this immense sawdust pile. While we were talking of our friends, a sudden hurricane came up from the west. Our cottage almost rocked in the wind. I ran out to the sawdust pile to see if the wind would cause us much trouble As I ap- proached the pile, I heard a terrible roar and before I could move from my tracks the whole pile of sawdust blew over on top of me. I awoke with a start, expecting to find myself bufietl in sawdust. In- stead, I found that it was rainingiand the drops were coming through the trees onto my face. I jumped up very much disgusted. What a day I had had! Who had ever heard of a saw- dust bus'ness like that! I went home in the rain in hopes that the next day I would have better luck, not only at school, but also in my dreams. But I think Edna and I would have been big business women by now if the whole pile of sawdust had not blown over onto me. D. E. G., '26. --1 -, THE STORY OF AN OLD PIPE I was once smooth and clean, but now I am old and full of ashes. Once in a.while, after the man to whom I belong has smoked me, he takes his knife and tries to clean meg then he hits my head on his hand or on a board. This pounding hurts very much, but he says he does it to make me 'draw better. Then he puts me back into his dirty, old, black pocket beside a plug of B. L. tobacco. One day the man's little boy found me lying on a cart seat in the shed. He took me out behind the barn and began to smoke. In a little while he began to feel sick and to call me all kinds of names. After calling me all the names he could think of, he threw me away and, sobbing to himselfj he walked off, carrying a dizzy head. After a day or so, I heard a voice say, So here you are! VVhere had I heard that voice before? just then the man, who used to carry me around in his pocket, picked me up and started for the house. He had got about half Way when l heard a voice in another pocket say, I wish I had some one to love me, some one to call me their own. I asked, Who is it? and the answer came back, Only a poor lone- some match. A few minutes later the match and I met, for a large grimy hand came into the pocket and grabbed me by the neck. A minute later I was in the man's mouth and the match in mine. The last I saw of Mr. Match he was burn'ng to death, and I would have been just as well off if I had, for just as I got to drawing good, he dropped me out of his mouth, and now I rest in pieces. C. VV. E., '29, 20 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER A TRIP TO THE MOON One night when I was studying Woolley and trying to understand the myriad of rules I must learn for the next day, I heard a tap on the window. I looked up and saw a man about four feet high, who beckoned to me to come outside. I laid aside Woolley, put on my coat, for it was a very cold night, and jo'ned the little fellow. In the yard I saw a very queer ma- chfne. It looked like a submarine w'th a prope'ler attached to each end and four of them along the top. The little man I had seen was standing by a smell door in the side of the machine. After introducing himself as john Cheeseater, he asked me if I would like to take a trip to the moon. I re- plied promptly that I would, for I wished to Find out for sure whether the moon was made of green, orange, or red cheese. A few weeks before, in a race to the moon started by a salesman of the Curtis Publishing Company, it was found to be of orange cheese. This was not satisfactory to me, for I was one of the contestants who had tried to prove itimade of green cheese. The little man told me to go inside the machine. I had quite a lot of dif- ficulty getting through the door, but at last I succeeded. The machine was divided into two parts, one part con- taining the engine and the other con- taining a number of seats. After we were settled in the latter compartment, john took a speaking tube and told the engineer to start. While we were rid- ing, john told me that a man from the moon came to the earth every thousand years to take somebody from the earth to go sight-seeing on the moon, and that I was the fortunate one for this year. I We stopped in about ten minutes, as it seemed to me. When I got out of the car my feet sank into a greenish substance, but my companion had fore- seen th's difficulty and he handed me a pair of snowshoes made of some solid substance. He was so light that he d dnit need any. Looking about me, I noticed some huts like Eskimo snowhouses, only of the substance as that under our feet.' John told me that there weve only a thousand people on the moon and that they all belonged to the Cheeseater family. He explained that, the moon being made of cheese, there was nothing else with which to make houses, machinery, clothes, or food. The houses were made of pieces of cheese as the Eskimo snowhouses are made of snow. The machinery was made of dried cheese dug out of the moon at the depth of twenty feet. The clothes, or armor, of the fnhabitants was made of cheese dug at the depth of about ten feet. John said that there were large lakes of whey on the other side of the moon, the whey befng used for drinking water. He also said that the center of the moon was as solid as steel because the cheese had dried so much. Almost a foot of cheese grew each year just as grass does on' the earth. I expressed a desire to see some of the-people, but john said that the people were all working in the cheese mines. I asked why I could not go into a mineg he laughed and showed me some holes about two feet wide and told me that THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 21 in each hole was a person digging dried cheese. I wanted to take some green cheese home and to school to show it as a proof that the moon is of green cheese. I took out my knife to cut a piece, but somehow in stooping, I slipped and fell head foremost into a mine. The next thing I knew my father was shaking me and telling me that Lawrence Rand wanted to know with whom we played the next baseball game. D. W. I-I., '27.
