Commencement Program
Not Yet Ready Says Bate

Although tentative plans are being
formed for the observance of COM
mencement week, and for class night
for the seniors Of Richmond high
school, no definite program has yet
been arranged, according to Principal
Bate, Tuesday.
The committee in charge has met
but once and it will probably be 10
days before the complete program will
be ready. 1t is believed however, that
the commencement exercises and en-.
tertainments will be elaborate.
DR.. J. J. Rae, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, will deliver the
baccalaureate sermon on Sunday, May
%. Under Cover, the class play
with a cast of 13 students, will be pre-
scented on Wednesday afternoon and
evening, May 26. The play will be held
in the high school Art Gallery. Com
mencement exercises as usual will be
held in the Coliseum.

that I had recently become engaged.

We were getting along splendidly
when Jack came up with Barbara,
who looked very pretty and girlish
and blush-rosey, as compared to most
of the women in the room. She is
anything but blase, either in mind or
manners. She and Harry waltzed off
together, while Jack and / sat down
to watch the fun, now at its height.
AS We were sitting there a huge

unexpectedly and grabbed me up to a

and besides, anything goes at true
Greenwich Village ball.
Even Jack only laughed as I was
borne away, and that was noble of
the dear boy, l think.
The ball ended in a grand riot of
confetti and color, and much hilarity.
And Jack had to actually pick me up
and carry me in his arms through the
mad crowd to the cloak room. 1t was
such fun. W.T. then went to the old
Brevoort for bite of breakfast and
met many of the jewellers there, also
enjoying the golden coffee.

COUNCIL DOES NOT
OPPOSE FARE RAISE;
REJECTS GROUND BID

City council refused, at its meeting
Monday night. to purchase the ground
owned by August Rodefeld at the west
end of the Main street bridge. The
price asked for the go by Sc foot strip
Of ground, is $4,000, which was con-
sidered excessive.
A committee composed of real es-
tate men has appraised the buildings
at $1,000 and the ground at $1,000
Under the proposal Mr.. Rodefeld
would reserve the right to retain pos
session Of the ground until Nov. l,
and to remove the buildings at that
time.
Mayor Zimmerman emphatically de-
clared that to pay $4,000 for the Rode
field property would be pouring the
money in a hole and that he would
veto any resolution that the council
might pass to purchase the ground at
that price.
Several citizens voiced themselves
as in favor of the purchase and thus

The Diary of an Engaged Girl
BY Phyllis Phillips

Fell asleep over my diary this morn
ing, SO will continue with my descrip-
ton now.
l got a terrible crush on a hand
some man who came to, the dance as
."Paris"-the gentleman who fell so
hard for Helen of Troy. My, but this
Paris was good to look at, bronzed
and very tall, and sort of Indifferent
to women in his bearing. I always
adore this quality in men. He turned
out to be the director of that most
little Greenwish village
theater, where everyone goes nova
days for true art and amusement. His
name was Harold MeltZer, l think;
anyhow, he made a grand Paris.
danced with him an awful lot; that is
to say, as often as / could.
But a flance has a thousand eyes,
it would seem, for no matter how
cleverly l manouvered, Jack was al
ways sure to turn up somewhere in
my vicinity. / didn't mind so much,
because there is no one who can dance
as beautifully as he can, bless his
heart, and he is so joyous about it all.
l got a thrill when l heard Harry
Kemp (the poet who writes for all
the weird magazines, and for some
Of the top-notchers, too) tell some
woman he was talking to that he
would like to meet the little girl with
the jade-green eyes, very much. 1t
turned out to be me. Jack did not
seem so thrilled, for he also overheard
it, and right away started to dance
with me again, despite the fact that
we were both enjoying a rest.
Harry Kemp finally did meet me,
and blurted out something about hav-
ing seen some of my paintings not
long ago, in the studio of some friend
of his. The friend turned out to be
Derry. OF course this pleased me to
death, so we sat down and had a real
talk, and found him to be most in
teresting. He is a queer mixture of
materialist and dreamer, and l am
sure he is erratic at times, but then,

What's in a Name
ALETHE ga
(Copyright)

ALETHEA
Alethea, though not in common
usage, is a most important name. 1t
comes from the Greek Alethia, which
in turn was evolved from the Greek
"a" and the word meaning Ito hide"
and thus may be translated as truth
or Sincerity"
The first appearance of the name
is recorded in 1411 when Aletha, of
Padua, lived. 1t was bona Maria Ale
tea, Spanish princess for whom
Charles I of England journeyed tc
Spain while he was Prince of Wales.
Alethea was the form which appear
ed in the famous Saville family and
was given vogue through it's promin
ence. But perhaps the most famous
and memorable Alethea was the lady

FEES ARE INCREASED.

OXFORD, O., April 20-Beginning
next September the incidental registra-
ton fee for students at Miami Uni
versity will be $25 a semester instead
of SIS. This fee always has been
charged in lieu of tuition fee, and in
the past this money always has gone
into the state treasury. In future, how
ever, the incidental fees become the
property of the university, and will be
used to pay higher salaries to pro-

Flying Farmers" of the Ozarks
are now fighting the high cost of
living from the air.
With a nation wide clamor for
increased production to aid in
bringing down food prices, agricul-
turists in this section who till
large tracts of land have taken to
the air as a means toward more
intensive farming.
This ultra modern means of ov-
erseelng large farms has proven
successful. the farmers claim, and
they predict the aeroplane will
shortly become just as necessary
an accessory to scientific agricul-
ture as are the modern planting
and threshing and other agricultur-
al implements.
Transportation of farm products
i'll large quantities has not yet been
tried, but from their experience in
transporting small quantities for
their own consumption and to near
by markets, the Flying Farmers"
predict that 1t won't be long be-
fore planes daily skim into the cit
des with eggs, butter. fresh milk
live poultry and other necessities
for the metropolitan consumers.
With the difficult question of trans
portation solved, they say, the city
dweller will obtain his food at q
greatly reduced figure.
