Tuck that under your new straw lid, fellows. Just because a stunt looks hard don't pass it up. Give it the old college try. Many ball that's billed sure home run is collared by the guy who starts quick, hustes and keeps go- ing. The same way with many good job. Maybe it looks over your dome but, if you go far enough and fast enough, there's a swell chance you can get your glove on it. The try won't do you any harm, anyhow, and it will improve your wind for the next effort.
 Can" the Can't stuff. Don't say, T can't lay off the booze" Give it the old college try. Don't say. q can't quit playing the ponies Give that the old college try. You can do most anything if you give it whirl.
 You're not college chap? Neither am I. though I'm for them, strong But we all belong to the U. H. K.-the Univer- sity of Hard knocks-and we ought to be able to raise a rah-rah of our own, there's so many of us.
 How about 1t, Scouts? Let's put little pep into our programme-to be square and sober, clean and careful, ambitious and American! Let CT go, Rah! Rah. Rah!
