One day
Toddie heard the preacher pray,
Heard his applications rise,
Saw him close his lifted eyes
And oft
Raise beseeching hands aloft.
Wide-eyed,
Toddie watched, as though he tried,
Vainly tried to grasp the speech
And the upward, outward reach,
And then,
He seemed satisfied again.
Next day,
Toddie tried the preachers way,
Eyes shut tight and fingers wide.
What you doing, Tod?""I cried.
Answered Tod:

LAID AT UNIVERSITY
Undergraduates Council Acts
When Abductions Of Class
I Presidents Cause Trouble
SINGLE EXCEPTION MADE

% kidnapping of class officers at the
University Of Pennsylvania shall here
ahfter be allowable only in cases Of au-
. thoriyed class fights.
~ That drastic ruling By the under
ngraduate councils, affecting one Of the
interesting diversions" Of university
! life. was made yesterday following two
s.recent incidents In which presidents OF
oitvo classes were kidnapped and pre-
srvented from attending classes for nearly
q week.
h, The whole subject was opened several
Hwseks ago when the freshman class
succeeded In Kidnapping George Hsr-
4 tenstein, president OF the sophomore
class, on the Wednesday preceding a
ssophomore class smoker and keeping
him in New York until early Tues
ioiay morning. In all that time H1rten-
stein received cuts for his absence
ttfSom classes. the faculty refusing TO
excuse him despite his inability to at
tend.
sG As a matter OF retaliation. the sophie
r arores kidnapped Herbert Bingham,
> freshman class president, last week TO
prevent him from speaking at the class
smoker and although ne escaped In time
s'for the smoker he missed about q weeks
class work.
"a In consideration Of this and the at
titude taken By the faculty, the under
graduate council decided that contn-
'ousnce Of such episodes will only w'rk
trouble for the leaders Of the classes
snd will not accomplish anything.
Therefore II passed a stringent meas
sfure absolutely forbidding kidnapping
Sprevious to any function other than
authorized class fights. The resolution
reads:
5'' Resolved, That the undergraduate
council, in an attempt to foster good
conduct on the part Of the student
body, absolutely torbids the kidnapping

classes before any function except au-
thorized class fights, and that such kid
,naping shall take place no sooner than

TURN OUT EXPERT CASTING
3ooo-Pound Piece at Navy Yard
Judged Fine Achievement

A 3OOo- pound steel casting to form
submarine engine base. was turned out
yesterday at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard. The casting is considered BY
experts TO be one OF the most difficult
accomplishments Of the kind ever at
tempted in this country.
The casting, which is part Of one OF
the new type American submarine
engines designed as a result Of careful
study Of naval engineers Of DIESEL
engines taken from captured German
U-boats, Is said to be most remarkable
from the fact that it Is more powerful
in its comparative lightness than the
1000 pound iron and bronze castings OF
Imerican type engines of the same size.
The foundry at the navy yard is con
sidered the finest equipped one in the
United States and the only plant where
such a casting could be made. The
machine work, finishing and assembling
10 being done at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard.
Extreme lightness. coupled with the
greater power Of the DIESEL oil burning
engine Is said by naval engineers to
ahave been the secret Of the German T.
60sts acknowledged superiority over
the undersea battlers Of other nations.

Once there was beautiful Princess
who was imprisoned in the tower OF q
castle OF an Ogre on top Of mountain
overhanglng the sea
The Ogre had been at war with the
King, the father of the Princess, who had
driven the Ogre from his country; but he
had carried off the Kings daughter and
made her o prisoner in the tower of his
castle.
There was one window i'm the tower
with deep sill and an iron grating in
front, and here at night the poor little
Princess would sit and hook at the water
below, wondering il she would ever see
her father and mother again.
One night as she sat watching she saw
beautiful goldfish lean from the water,
and she was still more surprised when ~
said: Princess, come swim with me.
The Princess leaned out between the
bar MS far as she could and replied: y
am prisoner, Goldfish. How can
come down?"
The Goldfish pol1ed its heads out OF
the water and said Take hold OF one
bar and say:
Iron bar at my command
Turn to velvet IN my hand.
The Princess obeyed, and when she
finished repeating the lines instead OF
an iron bar she held Tar Of velvet
Now, push your way between the bars

MAKING THE SOUP.

You used to be able to 70 60 the green
groccrs' and buy five cents worth ct soup
greens, and then go TO the butchers and
buy a twenty-five cent soup bone. AMI
thcrcfrom YOU could make soup enough
10 serve several times, according TO the
size of Inc family. Indeed a tcn-cent soup
bone would make one good sized batch
If soup. And you'd get, lor five cents,
a stalk or two o. celery, n couple OF ear
rotS, an onion or two, turnip, and a
little parsley.
Nes. those were different DAYS, days
when a dollar bought a dollars worth
or. as we look back on it, it may have
oecn dollar and half IS worth
Today-well. today few of us buy soup
bones. We once could have bought n
steak for what we now pay for soup
oonc. 30 we get along without the soup
oone. and usually without the steak, too.
But We don't get along without the
soup. No indeed: we have the soup, but
We make it from things we have on hand,
3s rule.
For instance, when VIC arc making n
stew, we save out a, Cuptul OF the gravy
stock, and SO we have broth To season
a vegetable soup. When we boil peas or
beans or asparagus. VIC save the water
in which the vegetables boiled. and there
from make soup. When we have to-
natoes, we save the skins and the grcencr
portions, boil them up. rub them through
, strainer. and so have the foundation
or other soups We Use every stalk and
eat Of celery for the foundation oi ce1e Y
cream soup.
And whatcver vegetables We have we
lec for soup. Sometimes we rub the vcgc-
able through "a colandcr, and make a
'rcam soup with tive do that with
tanned corn, with boiled carrots, with
peas And at other times, with a vegetable
water or meat stock foundation. we make
regular vegetable soup by adding diced
