FEATURE STOI A Stove Is Hot But Not So Hot As Hubby's Anger FREE FEED DREAM GOES But It Was Worth the Experience At That-With No Severe Casualities We (I and my sidekick) decided one day we would stroll out and admire the -wonders of nature both male, female and otherwise, but mostly female and other wise. We percolates along speculatin' on the wonders of nature and is having almost an enjoyable timc but at the same time we ain't seen no. promising signs like a pretty girl coming along and of fering to give our dogs a rest or nothing like that. Still we ain't downhearted a tall cause like ol' Julius Caesar said, Rome wuzn't built pronto like that. By this time we is sorta plum nearly, plum outta town and nearly outta the county. My sidekick casually mentions that supper is at six and as ol' Sol is beginning to fix to retire we better turn our pups toward the campus. I feels sorta like I ain't seen enuf nature but then I am a hearty believer in that ol' saying about "Feed the Brute" or some thin' to that effect, so I grants permis sion for a retreat. As we comes back down the street the door of a neat little bungalow bangs open and the cutest little bunch of nature rushes out all frightened to death and everything. She is all diked up in a dear little gingham house dress and white apron and is right away at once got us (1 and my sidekick) at her service. She runs up and says, "Please." and T knows right pronto like, when she turned those blue peepers on me, that I wez a gone goblin. You know love at first sight and all that. Weil anyway she says, "Please mister won't you help me ; my stove is burning up." That's plenty for the honourable, I shakes off the restraining arm of my sidekick and rushes into the house. Of course I woulda liked to a stayed and put the little lady on canvas cause I bet she woulda made me famous with a title somethin' like this, "Beauty in the Throes of Agony" or some short and snappy headin' like that. As I stated before I rushes into the house to do the con quering hero act. When I arrives on the scene there ain't nothing but a 'it of smoked wall where the fire had flared up. I wuz sorta relieved too: of course not that I minded fightin' a little fire, not a tall, but it wuz just that I hated to see everything burnt up. By this time she's come- fluttering in with her face all pink and rosy and her "go gittems" still as bright as Ford headlights. She smiles sorta relieved like and asked me to set down and me not having no more sense and less time I sets. . Pretty soon as we is talking and begin ning to git along toward discussing the major problems par excelsior etc., we hears the front door slam. I looks at her and she looks at me and then she says kinda soft like,. "That's my husband." Shades of suffering blackcats this ain't no place for a jnoor hard working college boy I think to myself. 'Bout that time hubby waiks in. He gives me a hard look right where I sets and says: "WVhatta you doin here?" "Picking strawberries," I says to my self. Course I coulda said it out loud cause he wuz a little bitty sawed off hammered down runt what didift have any bizness talking so hard, but then I always wuz a peaceable guy and I just hated to break a rule of such long stand mng. Before I could git my adams apple out. ta the way so's I could talk the little ladly has explained everything to friend hubby and he looks like somebody's lying and( it ain't him.

UES ABOUT T1 SPEAK ON POSSIBILITY OF JOURNALISM FRA' "'Aixther school l4as 'scooped' us, said W. L. Crocker in a talk Wednesda night to the Press Club. Mr. Crocker was speaking of the ad vantages of membership on the staff of college publications to a student. H4 referred to the publicity and prestige i gave to such students over others on thi campus. He told her of the organization of an honorary fraternity at P. C. whici has a school of Journalism, another ha, beaten us in having a journalism fra tcrnity. He further explained that this is noi a fraternity, got more in the nature of Phi Beta Kappa. It is not a nationa fraternity but merely a Southern one The . University Press club has, fo some time, been trying to get a chapte of Sigma Delta Chi, the honorary journ alistic fraternity, but due to the com paritively small number of eligible men and the interference of the 'anti frat ruling' it as been handicapped. However, since Phi Beta Kappa ha gotten on the campus, it will probabl3 be only a matter of time before Sigm: Delta Chi gets here. - U.S.C. - Pitchfork Jabs. Negro And Thus Originates "Charleston" A South Carolina farmer, armed witl a two tined pitchfork and backed b his hound, caught a darky in his chickei coop. The farmer jabbed the black bo3 with the fork and that brought into be ing - the first step of the Charleston. The hound sunk his teeth into the seat of the chicken, theif's trousers, and the sec. ond step was evoived. More jabs of thi fork and more bites alternated and thi climax found the black boy clearing six foot stone wall. That's the way the Charleston wa invented, and that's the way it is dance. today, according to an article in thit week's Liberty which forecasts the earl) downfall of the craze. Going back to the early 18th century to show that every innovation in danc ing has met with violent opposition, th< article continues: "It was in 1912 that Mabel Hite, ar actress, and Mike Donlin, a ball player turned vaudevillian, who was Mabel's husband, brought to Broadway the firsi turkey trot New York had ever seen Right there decently ordered Terpsichor< expired. "The war gave everybody somethinp else to think about, and it was not until after the armistice that the introductior of that remarkable tribue to the gooc St. Vitus, known as the shimmy, set the International Association of Dancinp Masters off once more. "The dancing masters, with justifica tion, described the shimmy as vulgar It never wvas a partnership dance-nc more than a contortionist's trick, difficuli for untrained .bodies to achieve. Also prohibition arrived on the heels of the shimmy, ,and helped to make it still more difficult. 'You can not make your shim my shake on tea,' wrote a 'Tin Pan Alley In conclusion the article says: "TVhe Char1eston wvill not last-hecause it is too difficult to perform -for ordinary mortals. Something must succeed it. "Travelers returing frbm Mesopotamia report that the Arabs of that land have a quaint tribal dance in the process of which each dancer taps his partner over the head with a hatchet. It is called, "This simple pastime would make ar excellent successor to the Charleston."
