"This decision probably means that

Mr.. Love:
l notice the professor intends to
return to Norman on the midnight
train Thursday, Since thare are
to be so many celebrities here, pos
sibly you would find 1t hard to en-
tertain them all by yourself. Unless
you have made ARA ngements to
take them to club or hotel, you
might turn the professor over to

California editor said about journ.
alists and newspaper men. | ask
ed him to distinguish between them
which he did as follows:
"a journalist is an individual
with a Van Dyke beard and long.
wavy hair, who wears q Windsor
tie. carries cane, conducts him

beans at cheap restaurant.
But q MODERN AMERICAN
NEWSPAPER MAN" he said,
clearing his throat and braclng him.

metropolitan daily and dimes at q

I'VE been looking for q journalist
ever since then. It's said they are
very numerous IN the Bohemian
quarter Of New York. Possibly Mr..
Herbert is one. Armed with the
above description Of journalist, he
should be readily recognized ut the
station. I'm not bidding for Mr..
Harrison, the brains Of the Okla
honlan, because I've been acquaint-
ed with him for several years, and
am thoroughly satisfied the profes-
sor will be the biggest curiosity.
Besides this, between making
speeches and eating oysters on the
half-shell and while waiting for the
midnight train, the professor could
be giving me q short course in
theoretical newspaper work, a
branch of education in which / am
sadly deficient. So, turn the profes-
sor over to me.

CORRECTION: II you use that
sketch, please make the following
correction: In the description of a
journalist, read: "eats beans at

cheap" DEGRATORY: Also incor-
rect. No such thing as cheap res
tnurant any more.
