Oregon and Wisconsin plainly are outclassed
in progressive legislation by South Dakota. The

Although it is a most busnesslike school,
there is time for play, too. A coach ol-
reefs football, track and baseball teams Each
year, too, there are two amateur plays. -Four per
formances of each are given and several thousand
dollars added to the school fund. There are
orchestras and bands, too, composed of the music
al students at Lane. On Sunday there are anna
teur and professional band concerts, attended not
only by students and people who live near by,
but by people who come miles to listen to good
music.
Thirty Helpful Clubs.
Over thirty clubs help the social side of the
school. Nearly all of them are open to any stu
dent who is interested, for Lane is absolutely DEM
ocratic in spirit. Some of the clubs are the Wire
less club, the Mathematics club, the Debating
club, the Camera club, the Dramatic club, the
Sketch club, the German club, the Economics club,
the Skating club and the Civics Industrial club.
Lane is not just for poor people. Some of the
students arrive in their automobiles. A famous in
terror decorator is taking a course at Lane which
will teach him about nameling woods, something
he could not learn anywhere else in Chicago. A
sculptor is taking a course in forging, because it
will help him in the molding and casting of
statues. Artistic women are learning how to make
hand-wrought silver. But, in spite of this, the
most popular students are those who are working
their way through school. The majority Of Lane

Students Who Work.
Under the direction of William ]. Began, prin.
cipal Of Lane and noted educator, a man who I'M
derstands youths, hundreds Of positions are OBJ
tanned for boys who must work for their board
and clothing. These positions range from ushers
in movie shows to workers in electric shops. All
of them teach the boys to be selfreliant and indie
pendent and most Of them are along the line of
work that the boy wishes to take up when he has
left school.
To young and old Lane high school offers hun.
dreds of opportunities. S~ervians, Germans, Rus.
SLAMS, Chinese, Japanese and Filipinos in Chicago
are gaining there a real national spirit and a real
education. Hundreds Of Americans are obtaining
knowledge that will lead them to better positions
and higher earnings. The school motto is There
is no royal road to learning, but there is an open

they are anxious to take advantage Of the open

few minutes before the noon hour the callers thin out, and the chaplain comes
to be in readiness to accompany the vice president into the senate chamber.
Now, for some unaccountable reason, the presence of the chaplain makes
Marshall think of a funny story. At about five minutes prior to the hour OF
opening the senate he starts to tell this story with calm deiberation.
The golden moments speed on their way, and by the time Marshall has
the basic part Of his story outlined it lacks only two minutes n less until
twelve o'clock. All hands begin to grow nervous, and the sergeant at arm
comes to the door, watch in hand, to make certain that the vice president is
going to reach his seat in due season. 1t would not do It Ill to have the
senate open a minute late.
Marshall gets up from his desk and proceeds across the corridor, still
working toward the point of his story, and by a burst of speed gets out the

TRY DARKENING YOUR GRAY
HAIR WITHOUT DYES

Shampoo your hair and scalp each
morning for about a week with Q-Ban
Hair Color Restorer. If your hair is
gray, streaked with gray, prematurely
gray or faded, brittle, thin or falling,
all your hair will then be beautifully
darkened and to such a natural, even
dark shade no one would suspect that
you had applied Q-Ban. Q-Ban is no
dye, perfectly harmless, but makes all
your hair soft, fluffy, thick, with that
lustrous dark simmer which makes
your hair so fascinating. Big bottle

People who don't know about food
should never be allowed to feed per-
o n with weak stomachs.
Sometime ago a young woman who
lives in Me. had an attack of scarlet
fever, and when convalescing was per-
mitted to eat anything she wanted.
Indiscriminate feeding soon put her
back in bed with severe stomach and
kidney trouble.
There | stayed" she says, three
months, with my stomach in such con-
dition that l could take only a few tea
%spoonfuls of milk or beef juice at a
time. Finally Grape-Nuts was brought
to my attention and / asked my doc
tor If l might eat it. He said, yes,
and l commenced at once.
"The food did me good from the
start and | was soon out of he'd and re-
covered from the stomach trouble. I
have gained ten pounds and am able
to do all household duties, some. days
sitting down only long enough to eat
my meals. / can eat anything that
n ought to eat, but I still continue
to eat Grape-Nuts at breakfast and
supper and like 1t better every day.
Considering that ! could stand only
q short time, and that a glass of water
seemed so heavy, | am fully satisfied
that Grape-Nuts has been everything
to me and that my return to health
is due to 1t.
Il have told several friends having
nervous or stomach trouble what
Grape-Nuts did for me and in every
case they speak highly Of the food"
