and begged the Chinaman to add

The OrientaPs cooking left nothing

that will furnish the greatest interest

the great state is represents.
"The greatest of all fairs, in the
fairest of all states" is the claim
made by President Newton and his
aides for 1911. Plans for the coming
nine days fair, September 18th to
9th, have been drawn to a gigantic
scale and some idea of it's magnitude
may be gained from the statement
that $4,000 is offered in premiums
and purses.
The fair grounds, with enormous
buildings erected or under process of
design, all Of substantial and harmo-
NOUS structure, estimate the generous
figure of nearly million dollars. 1t
Is doubtful if an exposition project
was ever initiated under more favor
able circumstances than is the State

PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK

my troubles began along in the
summer in the hottest weather and
took the form of small eruptions and
itching and kind of smarting pain.
1t took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass Of
pimples which would burn and itch at
night so that could hardly stand 1t.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mass
OF big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
a clot of blood.

getting any benefit. 1t seemed I was

Real Life and Romance,

There is no use talking-this old
world isn't at all like novel. In
novels, when a girl is i'll she gets
pale and big-eyed, and looks like an
angel in a white cashmere loose
thing that might be wrapper, and
might not be. In real life she has a
red nose, swelled eyes, her hair is
out of curl, she has a red flannel
rag around her neck, and a faded
dress on, so that the turpentine and
oil and goose-greese won't hurt if
they soak through, and IL you kiss
her you can taste quinine and all
sorts of things all day.

days later a third epistle was deliv-

action of sinister nature was moro

which our friend at Catalina Island
received the following:
Dear Sid-The tone of your last

joke, as we were certain you had
discovered the knives, forks and
spoons which Squatty merely slipped

G. w. U. not interested.

From what learn from alumni and
former managers, there is little likeli-
hood of George Washington University
entering the field of sport again for at
least couple of years.
Football has been prohibited next sea-
son, the athletic council has been dis
solved and there does not appear to
be any overenthusiastic alumnus who
stands willing to wipe out the old debts
and create a fund satisfactory to the
board Of trustees, to re-establish ath-
letics in the institution on the suita BILE
basis.
With the exception of three years ago.
all G. w. u. managers labored under
the handicap of insufficient financial
support. To maintain football, basket
ball and track teams up to the standard
that George Washington men desire
means a rather extensive outlay and 1t
would not be surprising II the present
generation of students graduated be-
fore 1t would be possible TO convince the
trustees and others interested in ath-
letics that George Washington is in a
position to again bid for athletic honors
with the colleges Of this section Of the
country.
1t is simply a question OF financing the
athletic scheme and until a definite
guarantee IS forthcoming the trustees
will probably maintain their present
stand.
