Thrusting the pin of disillusion
through the red toy balloon of popular
fallacy is great sport. G. X. Chester
ton. Woods Hutchinson and others
have spent many a pleasant moment
i'll this manner and, at the same time,
e%tertained scores of readers.
The humble writer will seek to fol-
low the footsteps of the illustrious par
ties above mentioned.
College boys do NOT wear red and
green polka dot socks and ultra cerise
hat bands.
For years the generally accepted
notion of Il college youth was the pic
ture of a young man dressed in the
hectic and fervid habilimcnt.
Clothes SO loud that the whole suit
would, not contain the complete pat
tern of the goods were supposed to
:idorn his rugged though supple fig
ure.
Stentorian socks were alleged to be
his particular delight.
Such loud hat bands! You never
such loud hat bands.
The appearance of this legendary
rah-rah lad upon the public thorough
fare was calculated to give horses an
awful turn and among the traffic cops
to desperation.
A riot Of colors and a college boy
were supposed to he synonymous:
correlative terms as 'twere, like "to
and fro."
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1913-10-11

a careful inquiry into existing con-
ditions has shown all of the above to
be far removed from fact. If such
were ever true it has closed to be now.
College boys no longer affect the
cleaning garniture in spite of what
the weekly comic periodicals may have
to say to the contrary. The college
boy of today is a neat. modest and
tasty dresser.
Perhaps the present day trend of
mems fashions has something to do
with it. True, the styles of the male
person today are more conservative
than they have been before. But the
clothes of the college boy have always
wandered a little from the beaten
path-their satorial notions are all
their own.
Indeed. SO. much SO that q college
hoy can tell what school another rah-
rrah youth attends by the cut of his
clothes. That's a Cornell lapel. or
Hes a Michigan. ] know by the cuffs
on his trousers" e In this way they
determine the alma mater of a youth
in the offing.
Maybe they wore the garish garb
in other days. But today they are
clothed as quietly and modestly as tho
turtle dove. Regular Lunnon. Plea.
,dilly jackets: Clinging trousers. With,
perhaps a dash of color in the tie.
White, and sometimes green, silk
socks.
But bowling hat hands-never.!

"You did," "1 didn't" "You did,"
Such a terrible fuss when Grandfather
hid!
You see, Long!egs the Blue Heron
had patiently stood on one foot all the
long morning waiting for Grandfather
Frog to go to sleep on his big greer
lily-pad. He had meant to have
Grandfather for his breakfast and
lunch, for he had had to breakfast.
and 1t was now lunch time . He was
80 hungry that 1t seemed to him that
the sides of his stomach certainly
would fall in because there was moth
ing to hold them up. But Longlegs
mas patience. a very great deal Of pa
thence. and 30 he had stood, and stood.
and stood, and stood, all the time on
one foot.
Then without any warning at ali
old Whitehall, the Marsh Hawk. had
glided out across the Smiling Pool
with his great claws stretched out to
clutch Grandfather Frog. With a sian
of his tail on the water Jerry Musk
rat had warned Grandfather Frog.
who had dlved into the Smiling Pool
with a great splash just in the very
nick of time.
Now is there anything in the world
SO hard on the temper as to lose, a
good meal when you are very, very
hungry? OF course, Longlegs didn't
really. have a good meal. but he had
thought that he was surely going 20
have 1t. So when Grandfather Frog
splashed into the Smiling Pool Of
curse Longlegs lost his temper alto
gether. His yellow eyes seemed to
grow even more yellow.
You robber! You thief" he
screamed hsrshly at old Whitehall.
Now old Whitehall was just as hun.
cry as Longlegs, and he had come
even nearer to catching Grandfather
Frog. He is yer quicker tempered
than Longlegs. He had whirled like a
flash on. Jerry Muskrat, but Jerry had

NUTLEYITES COMPLAIN
ABOUT HAT FACTORY


A complaint against the American
Beaver Company's hat factory. from
residents in the Avondale section of
Nutley, was read last night at the
injecting of the Nutley Board of
lHaelth 1t stated that polluted wat
Ter from the factory ran under their
homes. At night, it was stated,
steam arises from the stream for a
distance of 500 feet from the factory.
Frederick Ford, who represented
the firm. admitted that his firm was
in the wrong, inasmuch as it had
practically done nothing to abate
the nuisance. He Informed the
board that the discoloration in the
water was absolutely harmless, and
that furthermore, the water was in
polluted condition before it
reached the factory. He promised
to suppress the steam that arises,
for the time being until he could
plan private drainage system

DEADLOCKED IN
INSTRUCTORS CASE
South Orange Playground
Board Fails to Agree in
Charges Against Norman.

The South Orange Playground Com
mission last night became deadloclled
over the question of the dismissal of
Fred T.. Mohrman, of Bloomfield, phys
ical instructor at the Cameron Field
Playground, who appeared before the
board ION charges.
Two members voted for the dismiss
sal of the instructor and two others
voted to dismiss the charges against
him, J. Budd Smith, a new commits
sioner, refused TO cast the deciding
vote because it was his first meeting
and he therefore remained neutral.
Several of the boys accused the
physical instructor of using the ten
mis- courts too much for his own per-
sonal amusement. They became so
angry last Friday that about thirty
of their number pegged green apples
at Mohrman and two other boys who
them away.
Mohrman accused a High School
boy named Theodore Bell, of Walton
avenue. Of throwing the apples at
him. Bell denied throwing the apples
Then he says the instructor called
him a name he did not like and he
pitched into him with his fists.
Mohrman claims that it was only his
ability as a boxer that kept him from
being seriously hurt or from hitting
the other boy. AS a result of this
affair, the physical instructor was
hailed before the commissioners in ex-
ecutive session.
He claimed that he used the tennis
courts only when teaching other boys
how to play the game, and never
played for his own Indulgence.
Two boys. Jack o. Burns, son Of
Assistant Probation officer Harry C..
Burns, and Carroll Sexton appeared
before the commission as witnesses
and declared that the instructor
played tennis for more than three
hours every afternoon. The instruc-
tor denied this.
Spencer Miller president of the
commission, and Everett YeaW, the
secretary. voted to dismiss the
charges. John Il. Larkin and Charles
Il. Colley voted for the dismissal Of
the instructor.
