Things You Ought To Know

Whene’er you see a parking space Left open in a public place, Be sure that spot would not be bare Unless a fireplug nestled there! —The Advocate Little boy (who has asked one Question after another): “Pa, why does this book say that this boy was as smart as a steel trap? I don’t see anything so smart about a steel trap.’’ Father (trying in vain to read a newspaper): “You don’t? Well, young man, a steel trap is smart, because it knows just exactly when to shut up. Now, you go and De steel trap while I finish the sporting page, Last Monday a certain Junior member of the newspaper staff was in English class, and while a discussion was going on about what the next day’s test would cover, she was busily occupied in trying to whisper to her heart’s desire who is seated directly behind her. After a few minutes, this girl asked Miss Hammon what the assignment was, and everyone laughed when Miss Hamman told her to waken up. M. Z. will make some reporter, if, at the time of a big scoop, she lets heart throbs distract her form the line of duty. Singing for a Hat A floor-walker in a large department store was startled to hear the strains of “Swing Low Sweet Chariot,” as he neared the millinery department. There was a large crowd gathered around a counter of hats on sale. The floor-walker made his way through the crowd There, in front of the counter, he found a large negro woman singing with all her might. “What is the meaning of this?” he demanded, indignantly. The negro woman stopped and hastened to explain. “Suh, I’se just tryin’ to git man-

self a hat by doin’ what this yere sign siz,” and she pointed to a sign which read: “A Hat for a Song.” The negro lady was given a hat and went out of the store very happy.—Submitted by Ruth Rarig. Small girl (addicted to the use of big words): “Didn’t you tells us yesterday that ‘ProcnfsTinate’ means to put off?” Teacher: “Yes.” Small girl: “Then, why did the bus driver laugh so, when I tola him to procrastinate me at Uncle BVob’s instead of at home?” Miss Hamman submits the following clipping from the “Literary Digest” for the benefit of the Latin students who are complaining about the peculiarities of that language: If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, Then why shouldn’t booth in the plural be beeth? If the plural of man is always called men, Why shouldn’t the plural of pan De called pen? YVou may find a lone mouse or a whole nest of mice, ( BVut more than one house is most surely not hice. A cow in the plural is properly kine, BVut a bow is repeated in never (called bine, Then one may be that and two would be those, Yet hat in the plural would never be hose, x We speak of a brother and 'XLo of brethern But though we say mother, we never say methern. The third person pronouns are ae, his and him. But imagine a first person we, wis and wim! So the English, I fancy you all will agree, Is the funniest language you ever did see. —Literary Digest Don’t worry if you feel despondent. The sun has a sinking -spell every night, but it always rises again all right the next morning.

TIX GET BY” That was the theme song of a certain chap. He was not particularly interested in his job. Rather inclined io look down on it. Felt he was entitled to a better and more responsible place. “I’ll get by all right,” he said —and he settled down to do just that. He was only fooling himself. He picked a sure way of turning his work into drudgery. Instead of improving his chances for advancement he was killing them. Just trying to “get by” represents an unfortunate frame of mind. When a man decides his work does not merit any particular interest or effort he makes his lot just that much harder. The “just get by” boys don’t last very long anywhere.—The Safe Worker. FOOTBALL Elkhail Defeats Goshen 38-0 The Blazers used their second team, or this game might not have even been interesting. Goshen has not scored against Elkhart for the past three years. Manchester Defeats central Normal 44-0 Scoring in every quarter, Man-/ Chester rin over Central Normal using straight line attacks, then an aerial attack to make a total of six ouchdowns. Butler Defeats Wabash 27-0 Scoring two touchdowns in the second quarter, Butler defeated a fighting Wabash eleven. They pushed over two more touch downs in the third and fourth quarters. Just A Guess Ohio over Purdue at Ohio State. Ball State pver Hanover at Muncie. Manchester over Franklin at Franklin. DePauw over Earlham at Earlham. Corn Husking Contest (Continued from Page 1) They weighed the rabbit with the corn that Hummel had missed, but when the sack was emptied, the rabbit was found. It had to be weighed aiuL-jts weight was subtracted froniVthe total weight that was in he sack. HummeKdWfh’t use a peg or hook and yet all ofztfsN Some said that he had the biggest ears to husk. Charles Miller was second and Billy Wiggs, third. I didn’t do so well. Some said that I had little corn to husk. I ranked ninth with 101 pounds of com. I missed one and three-fourths pounds of corn. That netted me ninety-six pounds of corn in 15 minutes of husking. —By William Miller Hjjfffen for 1,000 Years NEW YORK —In the cornerstone of the Cosmetics building at the New York World’s Fair 1939 have been deposited the rarest perfumes of today, the newest and most effective toilet accessories, the whole valued at thousands of dollars.
