VACl SAC Mdu W1lu IuC DIS Shears, occasionally designated by the more dignified appellation of edi
 tor-in chief, closed his assignment
 book with a snap, and jerked out of the corner of his mouth, "Review Life of - we, the much abused,
 long g-suffering, little special writer
 felt the limit of human endurance had been reached, that it was time for the worm turn.
 | ther!' we made haste to interrupt be- fore the blow had actually fallen. "Is live copy so internally scarce that you've got to have a rehash of some bodys drier-thandus biography of somebody, nobody cares a tinkers euss about? If it is, all right But" we finished with heavy sar-
 casm, "the pay envelope is supposed to cover multitude of sins it don't
 even touch. Then we shifted our weight to the other foot and waited for the storm to break. To our surprise, it was not forth coming The hand that has the pow

 roll at one fell swoop was impatiently
 tapping the desk with. blue pencil, ] the editors badge of office.
 Was telling you-so rudely inter rupted-review Life of Sept. 19.-it's the Wilson Number. That's all." The voice stopped short, and we dazedly found our way to our own desk, there to sit and stare vacantly at the battered typewriter keys.

 Life motto is: "Whiie there IS Late there's Hope" We hope there Will DC Life for many. many moons.

This time it is the Wilson ! Number And we are glad 1t is, be- cause we like Life, and we like MT. Wilson, and we are sure Life has done we'll by him.
 When we picked up the Wilson Number we offered silent prayer that there would be no. would row Woodrow puns. but on page 1902 IS verse sufficiently punnish to punish the least punctilious reader.
 The front cover is strictly and SC | verely2 classic in motif, and design. 5 5kSS bears Latin inscription. The cen tral figure is that of Mir. Wilson as pallas Athenc. the Democratic god- desg of wisdom. It A an interesting
