i "A fairly heavy registration in all
colleges Of the university is expected

lad intended continuing university
courses were in the military n naval
service last year.
Il Practically all of these men have
been released and it is expected that
a large number of them will continue
their university work this year. Many
other young men who had originally
intended attending the state institu-
ton entered the service last year or
did work that was made necessary by
the absence of older men.
Making Up Faculty.

years work is already outlined and

Save a mile or more each day

\ S you journey through the
n day, from breakfast to dinner,
do you think of the miles you
travel, the hours you spend and the
motions made? And do you know
what a large part Of this energy is
wasted, foolishly spent?
The Hoosier kitchen cabinet was
made to correct this evil. 1t will

After all, the similarity of feeling is
not so remarkable as that of form and
expression. 1t is quite conceivable that
two men of the same century and very
much the same surroundings might have
fashioned for themselves even more
identical points of view, but that they
should take so exactly the same manner
of expressing them seems scarcely pos
sible chance. A more plausible solution
would be that these two philosophers
drew their inspiration from some COM
mon source-who knows how ancient. If
Omar Khayyam had been a modern poet
he could never set himself straight with
Abu'l-Ala, since now every poet is wide
cared for the utteranee of others and the
modern press has taken the place Of scat
tered bits Of parchment and rare scrolls.

THAT there is technique of writ
l. ing criminal tales We believe;
that it can be defined We are not so certain
but that it can be felt, in its perfection or
the reverse, we are positive.
Lee Thayer's The Mystery Of The Thir-
teenth Floor is a case in point. 1t
begins with q murder that is as nearly
thrilling as anything so patiently artificial
can be. To that extent the technique is
perfect But from that point on the mar
rative wabbles all over the place and
winds up in a manner so unexpected that
the end also would be thrilling if Samuel
Hopkins Adams had not once used the
same idea, only more skilfully-and If it
were not so grotesque in its lack of rela-
ton to what has gone before.
In between are marshalled characters
who have stalked there from the pages of
fiction and not from life. The wicked

As we said in the beginning, we have a
fair for the perfect criminal story; and
this is not one of them. If you are going
to kill man with n dagger in the first
act you have to connect that dagger up
with the developments of the story and
not lead away from it. The ruined
typist who practised knife-throwing by
way of revenge and carried her weapon
concealed in her cloak is, We maintain,
not only imperfect technique but little
too much early Italian Renaissance in

"Afagnhild"
By DOROTHY SCARBOROUGH.


no you yearn 10 write poetry, yet
~ experience difficulty in controlling
refractory rhymes and metresf Regard
less Of previous inexperenee you can learn
10 dash off sonnets with an experiences
that is amazing. Are you a professional
writer suffering from lack of inspirationf
You can order the divine afiatus by the
bellOwsful and make editors your eager
slaves. Are You socially handicapped by
any little ineonvenient habit such as living
or stealingl You can have it painlessly
removed and start life anew.
You can be mentally operated on for
hay fever, fear of germs or cyclones, or
stage fright You can become a great
musician, or actor, or fisherman. All You
need TO do is to consult a specialist IN
psychic affairs and he will wake you up
by putting You to sleep. At least that is
what DR.. John d. Quackenbos insists in
his new book, MagnhHd.
In this "story of a psychic love" the
oversoul of a young woman pOsthyphnot-
ieally falls in love with that of a young
student of psyehotherapeutics, but the
cOurtship proceeds along the orange BIOS
som path that literature and life have
long since cOnventiOnalized. The lovers
lyrics are rather subLminal, warbling as
they do of "queaehy strath' and wan
hope" and the like, but his is merely the
ancient ailment, after all.
There is plenty of psychic melodrama.
For instance, the villainess responds to the
villain when he plots the ruin of the good
young man: 81 should hate to incur your
enmity, Mr.. Blaekwood, by refusing, so
I am with you body ond soul in a scheme
that is in every way germane to my in
stincts and calculated to enrich my anamie
purse
The chivalrous hero responds in fifty
chosen words to the enehantress who has
tried to trap him but has fallen in love
with him.
"Then the hitherto unsupported truth
burst upon his consciousness. God for
bid that you have been exploring my sub
conscious being, in search of that celestial
visitant that men call love! Your hearts
secret is writ upon your faeep'
Hear him as he mentions his love to
the heroine:
az have recognized the interdepend-
ence with a spiritual copesmate. 1 have
inadvertently at first, and then designedly,
fed the flame which you so POLITICALLY de-
scribe as kindled in the empyrean, until it
has set my whole nature on fire!"
She responds:
"Oh, Reynier, you have found the holy
spot in my heart, you who first prompted
me all unwittingly to look in rapport for
a spiritual Endorsement of my objective
love- In token of that love my lips are
yours. None other has pressed Them"

My Front Room.

In this room are four lovely pie lures. One picture shows the most lovely sunset ever seen. A man is coming home from his beautiful farm. The grass is green and the trees are budding There are many orchards of red apples and other fruits.
 This pretty picture reminds me of Italy. When 1 was boy about five or six years old l lived in the land of olives, oranges, and grapes. My na- tive town is at the eastern end uf the Apennines in southern Italy. remen- Der the happy sunsets 1 saw" My fa- vorite COW was always with me when the sun began to set. These sunsets were indeed beautiful. for you could look towards the west and see a red ball setting beyond the peaceful hills
 The second picture is also very at- tractive. The moon is shining. very brightly, and it's shadow can be seen in the silent waters. Hardby in a small cottage the candle light is shin ing through the dusty curtain. Far ther up the river is church steeple and houses.
 The third picture is of about the same design. The last one is very pleasing. It shows a small stream flowing through a sunny forest. There are large trees of oak and pine on the banks of the river.
 In one corner of this room is the Nictrola. I study music and always look at the records. Some of then contain the greatest singers in tht world, such as the famous Italian sin gers, Caruso and Galli- Curci. ARTHUR DELLA. Age E.

 No Cooking

Quick as a flash pussy dipped in her paw. When she drew it out there was a little fish held fast by her sharp claws. She ate the fish. and felt bet ter.
 The next day she was hungry again. She remembered the fish and ran down to the beach. This time there was something long and black moving about, close to the shore. Minnikin for got that she didn't like to wet her paws. She jumped into the water, and brought to land real, live eel.
 Pussy must have thought, now I will treat cook better than she did me, for she seized the squirming, wriggling creature with her teeth. and carried 1t home, into the kitchen. and laid it at cooks feet. Cook thought it was a snake. How she did scream! Minnikin's master had just come in from the station. He ran to see what was the matter, and it made him laugh to see Cook so frightened by a harm less eel.
 If Minnikin went fishing after that she did for her own amusement, for l her master did not let her go hungry 1 any more.

What Happened to Our Dou.

On April 18th when I came home from school my mother called me to her side and said:
 Listen, Lena. I've been washing clothes today, and 1 am very tired, so 1 want you to clean up the kitchen"
 I agreed. and soon I asked my little brother Jacob to bring fresh spring water (for our drinking water came from a spring), and he ran off with the dog, whose name is Buster. In less than ten minutes they came, back, Ja- cob red with excitement. and Buster with his head covered with blood.
 Mitchell (my brother) screamed: Mammal"
 Morris (another brother) said, very much awed: "Oh-h-h!"
 But the dogs head was not injured at all. only both his ears were slit one ear was slit down two inches, and the other one inch. How the dog did suffer!
 Maybe he got in a trap.' said Mitchell.
 by human hand; because there is not sore spot on his head but his ears, and that was done with some sharp instrument" And l think so, too. My mother took a bottle of peroxide and poured some on his ears, and the poor dog sent a human-like cry from his throat and went on rolling in the grass from the pain he felt. After while he ran up the road and when he came back his eyes were oulged out from the intense pain. When my sister and father came home from Willimantic that night we were all very nervous and could hard ly eat supper But now his ears arc getting better and only hurt him once in a while.
