of the disposal of the funds of the
club remaining after the payment of
the years pledge to the Washburn
Endowment was left unfinished. A
part of the company thought that all
the money realized from the street
dance given by the club should be ap-
piled at once on the Washburn pledge,
paying the amount for two years.
Others considered that it was better to
pay the pledge for one year. now due,
and keep the rest on interest or to
use in case of emergency. The deci-
sion was withheld until the next
meeting.
The club discussed also the project
of taking a box at the state fair. The
members voted down a motion to
do so.
A resolution was passed thanking
the following people who assisted the
club in preparing its float for the

SID SAYS LIARS SHOULD POSSESS
 GOOD MEMORIES

Sid Says, in the January American Magazine:
 'In the October number I wrote an article showing how dangerous it is to tell lies, owing to the fact that you can't remember what lies you have told. I quoted what I thought was an old Hoosier saying-I reckon that a man in order to be a good liar must have wonderful mem ory.' Now comes good-natured letter from, an old friend who says that am something of a liar my self. Then he goes on to claim that he is the originator of the remark which I quoted as an 'old Hoosier saying He writes that he has been saying it for years. Furthermore, he says that he made the remark to me at lunch one day in a New York hotel. However, he adds, I am inclined to forgive you for the er- TOT, because you are not supposed to remember the sources of all your inspiration
 My friend is right: I was wrong in giving the Foosiers credit for that remark. Lots of Hoosiers probably repeated it, but they didn't originate it. It was originated long before their time. One of the most recent Smen to make it was Algernon Sidney, an Englishman. What! You don't know A1gernon? We'll, Algernon Sidney was. born in 1922 and did in 1883, and in his book entitled Dis courses on Government, he wrote:
 Eiars ought to have good mem ories.'
 "But Algernon was not the first to discover the idea. Montague, the celebrated French author, beat him to 1t by a hundred years. for in one of his essays called Of Liars he wrote:
 He who has not good memory should never take upon him the trade of lying
 When I got back to Montaigne I was sure that I had struck bottom. But no such thing. It seems that Quintiilian, the well known Roman rheterician, set down the same idea over 1,50O years before Montaigne began to write.
 "Quintilian was born 42 years after Christ and died in the year 11S, Yet in this book, Institutions of Ora tory you will find this line:
 "A liar should have a good mem ory'
 q quit when I reached Quintilian What was the use of diging further? Very likely the idea was scratched

Let US arrange sensibly the terms on which you may pasture your flocks. side by side, without quarreling. There is room for us all in this beautiful world will not detafn you any longer.

 When the wolf becomes pitiful, the wise dogs grows deaf. We are new to this hunt. We have been without a wolf so long on our continent that we forget he can not repent and be- come a good collie. Let him go back to his den as meekly as you please, he will be out again, hungry, as soon as his wounds are healed. The sheep dogs must make the world safe for till this last wolfish military autocra- cy has died in it's lair.

TOURISTS FLOCK

Honolulu, Hawaii, Dec; 22-The &C., tive lava. lake at the world d-fan1ous volcano of Kilauea, in the Hawaiian Island, has commenced to rise in an unprecedented manner, and is rapidly neari1 g the point. at which a great outflow of lava may be expected. At the same time. the neighboring 14,- 0o0-foot volcano. Mauna Loa, is show ing unmistakable signs of coming dis turbance, smoke having been observed rising from it's summit crater. There is every possibility of a repetition of the great outbreak of May last year, when millions of tons of molten lava flowed down the mountain side. Vol canic eruptions in Hawaii carry no terrors, as in other lands, for, not since 1881, when a great flow destroy ed vast area of country and closely approached the city of Hilo, has any damage been done. Nevertheless, great excitement prevails throughout the islands, and tourists are Hooking in large numbers to witness the ap- preaching spectacle.

on the wall by cave man 10000 years ago. And, 500,0o0 years ago monkeys probably said the same thing words.
 So there are. We human beings like to look out on the world and imagine that we are the first to dis cover the facts of life. When we say that we have discovered them first we are absolutely honest. We think we have. We don't re- alize how many others have no- ticed the same facts long before we noticed them. Be careful, there. fore, when you claim a patent on your discoveries about human nature. Remember that the human animal has been up for observation and dis cussion tremendous length of time. Also remember that he has behaved in about the same way from one generation to another-exhibiting the same characteristics. For this reason you are not likely to point out any, thing actually new about him. But keep right on studying him. The more you know about him the bet ter you can handle him-both in business and in the personal relation. Take my friend, for example. The vital thing in his case is that he has his eyes open-watching people, learning, and applying what he learns The fact that what he knows has been known to countless people before him is of no importance what ever. Every man that is born should try to rediscover the world. He must --if he wants to amount to anything. There is certainly no reason why he should sit down in an arm chair and refuse to learn things just because others knew them first Why get peeved, simply because you are un- fortunate enough to be the youngest child of the race?"

That the average jitney owner

these vehicles, which were damaged
in collisions. John A. Gilbert of this
city brought an action against Bert
CruInp and the Connecticut Co. for
treble damages, alleging that his ma
chine was struck at Main and Con-
gress streets June last. Gilbert says
his car was standing when the trolley
car hit Crump's machine and sent 1t
crashing into the Gilbert vehicle, caus-
ing damage which cost $3S4.60 to re-
pair.
Patrick Kelly of this city sues An
drew Sorenson of this city for 5000 for
injuries to the jitney resulting from
collision at Connecticut and Strait
ford avenues July &c last. Both plain
