Plot Foiled By Instructor Litman Escapes Bombs Dick Arlington Goes Into Learned Description Of A Practical Joke Another section of the University has been declared in a state of. insurrec tion, this time the declaration origina ting from one Sam Litman, alleged assistant instructor in engineering. Said Mr. Litman, "they tried to as sassinate me. They did it with a bombl" Instructor Litman, in spite of his mature appearance and the dignity of his position, remains one of "the boys." "However," averred the learned peda gog," enough is too much. I object to the methods of my impeachment. I am contemplating appealing to the S. P. C. A." Mr. Litman's story is that as he entered his classroom to deliver a lecture, he was able to detect through the functioning of his olfactory senses that there was definitely an Africanus in or about the heap of carboniferous vegetative matter. In other words, he smelled a fish. A Dantish fish. As suming an attitude of complete non chalance, he went about his prepara tions as unconcernedly as a chairman riding over a vote. In the meanwhile, he concentrated his faculties on the problem of locating the origin of the stench. This was soon accomplished, and a thin wisp of curling smoke led the investigator to an infernal machine secreted in the desk. The machine was cleverly contrived out of a fire cracker and a burning fag, but there was the rub. The dastardly agitators had failed to reckon with the acuteness of the professor's nostril3, and therein all was lost. Said Mr. Litman, as he sucked his pipe and thoughtfully recollected his life of service to hu manity, "I regret only that I have but one attempt on my life to give to elec trical engineering. I suggest that the doers and darers for the 'cause' throw their bombs in the direction of my partner, Mr. Black, hereafter." YOUR STORES THE CANTEEN Sandwlohe, Cold Drinks, ' Tollet Articles.

Damsel Fresh Out Girl Of His Dreams, Was A Two Timer, It Seems To Ed Ed "Salty" Sims, being the ladies' man what he is, went out to fill one of his nightly dhtes recently. But when he got r to the hospital, the place was all bare; a the sweetie of his affections, she was a not there. Instead there was a note. < Poor Ed's heart it smote. "Grandmother is in (own. My brother has come down. Sorry to say, I must g speed away. Call me up another day." 3 Thus said the scrawl. Salty began to bawl. A kind hearted nursie with pity in her eyes, thinking Eddie to surprise, t the door did slam, and whispered, "she's off with Wellingham." t "How big is he, and what does he look like?" queried Romeo. "Not big as you, and looks so-so." t "I think I'll stay and meet him," he returned, "my love has underfoot been spurned." Telling about it afterwards, Salty spoke this way: "I waited until 10 1 o'clock. The Duke of Wellingham hadn't returned. I was getting madder v all the time. Finally a car rolled up to the curb. The Duke and my girl got out and approached the steps. She saw me first and grabbed me, but I was mad and so she couldn't stop me. Welling ham saw me coming and streaked for his flivver. I almost caught him, but not quite. He dashed off leaving me a lone with my anger." Now that's Salty's tale. H-e said that his torn shirt, mussed hair, scratched face, and lack of breath resulted from his chasing Wellingham so fast.
