LAWYERS CHOSE CANES
Members of Junior Class to Wear
Stand Up Collars Till Holidays,

At the suggestion of one of the
law students of the junior class, a
meeting was held where the members
voted to wear straight up collars
and use walking canes until Christ
mas.
The fellow" made a motion that
the Junior class place themselves in
the limelight; in the minds of the
public so to speak-by doing some
thing that was out of the ordinary in
this locality. He moved that the en-
tire class wear sticks and straight
legal collars until the Holidays be-
gin. The motion was unanimously
carried.
There has been no definite reason
named for such action on the part of
the class. However, many of the stu
dents that are more or less acquainted
with some of the members of the class
think that they are trying to rid them
selves of the collars bought about
two years ago when they were con-
sidered good taste by haberdashery
critics. To say the least, if this is the
case We must admire the junior law
class for their consideration of their
fathers. 1t will be a very economical
way to dispose of the old collars.

ideal of unselfish giving to others
which her great grandfather and
mother loved in their childhood.
And each generation grows to know
that, however much conditions change
and novel and alluring ideals rise
and prove false, the main things for
which their ancestors stood, and for
which all society still stands, are still
the things to be depended upon.
Right then that youthful generation
has become a mature generation. And
it teaches its own children, not a new.
but the same old, old Santa Claus.

Dirt Eaters.

The practice of eating earth is not
confined to any race or region of the
world. In America several tribes of
Indians. of the northern as we'll as
OF the southern continent, are given
to using earth as food. Different va
rieties of clay seem to be preferred.
The Pawnee Indians used yellow
ish clay. which they shaped into little
balls that were allowed to dry in the
air and were then slowly roasted at
the open fire. When the clay attained
red color the balls were removed
moiStened with water and eaten
These clay balls were especially liked
when served in connection with fish
and seem to have promoted digestion
The Timmeh Indians of the Mack
enzie river used to resort to earth as
food in times of famine. They dug
out the clay found in the hollows
along the banks of the river. In pros
porous years they chewed the clay as
delicacy. The Apaches mixed pow
dered clay in their meal before baking
this into their rude loaves of bread.
The Indians in the uplands of Boil
via ate a light clay that is nearly
white in color; this they used either
raw or in the form of cakes of va
rious shapes, which were sold in the
market places. They also prepared a.
sauce with the clay; this they ate with
boiled potatoes.
Among the negroes of the Guinea
coast, as well as among those in West
Africa, the eating of dirt is very com
their favorite clay from between lay
ers of sandstone in the banks of the
rivers. The natives of Java prepare
their cakes of clay containing ochre
these are sold in the public markets
