Business Girls
'SIunber . at "Y''

One of the most enjoyable events
Of the season was enjoyed by the
Business Girls Club on last Satur-
day night, or rather in the wee small
hours Of September 1st.
Twenty business girls "slumbered'
at the Y. w. c. A. that night, and
the slumbering they did, well maybe
50 had it not been. that one of the
slumberers was quite hungry and H.
sisted that breakfast be cooked at
two o'clock that morning.
Everyone found it impossible to
fall asleep before three o'clock and
during those hours they enjoyed
Dutchman's jokes, Ruth's songs and
the snake dance lead by lone and ac-
eompaaied by Zula. At seven all
liked down to the creek and built
g fire where the breakfast bacon and
eggs was greatly enjoyed by the
hungry bunch. After breakfast Miss
Wolf amused everyone with her
fortune telling and had the girls
quite enthusiastic as to knowing just
when the fatal day would come, and
whether he would be blonde or a
brunette.
After spending a few hours in the
woods, and when the sun shone high

in the sky, everyone being anxious
to see the funny paper went back
to the ''Y" had a good swim and de-
parted, leaving the chaperone, Mrs.
Plummer, wondering if the Business
Girls would not take her into the
club as member.

POET EXALTS MUSIC
Of COMB IN TRENCHES

PLAYING on the comb is not the
among the soldiers but it is set out
into the spotlight by Berton Braley,
Americas popular poet, who is now
soldier in the trenches. Though 1t
makes ones lips Jingle to think of
it the humming Of tunes on comb
Is not so much in disrepute after all
considering that Franz schubert used
to do 1t at parties where he was quite
az tovial and hoisterous as IL he were
not destined TO be great genius
MIR. Braleys celebration of The
Comb Band" which appears in a
collection OF his verses called In
Camp and Trench" is as follows:
Oh. we love the gay Nict~ola In the
watches OF the night
And we sit around and listen to It's
records with delight.
And we like to hear the must of the
regimental band
While the leader juggles gaily with
the baton in his hand,
But the melody that's sweetest as we
linger in the gloam
Is the melody extracted from fine
Yes. we get some tissue paper and
some combs from out our kit
And we gather In the squad-tent
where the lantern shadows fit.
And we play bunch of ragtime with
lot OF vim and go.

Tunes that set your shoulders sway

The movement started by Miss

the block song service is spreading
rapidly in her own city under her
jealous and enthusiastic leadership as

heard OF this unique and splendid
idea.
Twice a month all the neighbors on
one block or from several contn-
gent blocks, often several hundred in

evening 10 the center of some street
having no traffic, and sing.
The singing IS Iusty and cheerful,
for everyone has some pent-up emo

after days hard work and strain
delights their hearts

EVEN SEALS ARE
LURED BY MUSIC

Word has come from Seattle that
music is being experimental with by
the state fish commissioner office
out in Washington as a means Of
Turing seals to their destruction
Fishermen have found that the seal
is very curious and has a keen sense
of hearing When the animal hears
strange sound it Immediately in
vestigates. This characteristic has
long been known to the Indians who
have tempted seals within striking
distance by using specially made
whistle.
Now the seal hunter takes along n
portable photograph, anchors his
boat near rookery or salmon trap,
puts on a record and when the seals
gather around to enjoy the concert
the hunter commences to pick off
his audience one by one with his rifle
The attendance at recitals In the seal
communities is apt to become a pre-
carious recreation.

A whole hearted sort of chap. with
a twinkle in his eye. He used to

great demand at college affairs.
For the last ten years he has been

Wei. they took him at his word He
