New Dance Music
of the Season

a more original fox trot never was
written, perhaps, than "Bo-La-Bo,"
played by Paul Biese and his Novelty
Orchestra. The melodies are weird
and wild beyond description, and
music never was arranged for a jazz
orchestra in more recklessly original
fashion. The other side of the record
contains "Harem Life" fox trot
written by Irving Berlin. It is sort
of medley of familiar tunes. but the
dance rhythm never falters.
The All-Star Trio usually may be
counted upon to come through with
some original or ingenious dance
music. venetian Moon." a fox trot,
and "Swanee," a one-step. on a new
Victor Record. are of such character.
The former combines allethe "Jazz
Spirit" with the floating melody asso-
ciated with the gondola. "Swanee" is
reminiscent Of "Old Folks at Home"
1.-THE Mbckine- Bird" and other old
southern melodies. The saxaphone,
xylophone and piano are used for both
dances.
Another Victor dance record for
April contains I'm Your Arms" med
ley. fox trot, and THAT Naughty
Waltz" The former. beautiful fox
trot full of sentiment, is played by
Selvin's Novelty Orchestra. The
waltz, played by Joseph c. Smiths
Orchestra. contains melodies which are
smooth, pure and beautiful.
It has been said that through music
alone can be expressed emotions that
lie too deep for words. Whether this
be true or not. it is fact that music
will carry message of cheer. comfort,
hope or inspiration to natures that re-
main untouched by any other form Of
appeal. The power of music to give
action and direction to human motives
is undisputable. It is especially inn
portant that children be kept under the
influence of the best music. The great
est music of all ages is brought right
into the home by the Victrola. Per-
sons not having q. Victrola may enjoy
hearing their favorite music BY visit.

UNIVERSITY Gets
AN APPROPRIATION
CLOSE VOTE IN SENATE.
State University Gets Over A Mil
lion Dollars. Thanks To The I'm
firing Efforts of her Many Friends
And Supporters.

One of the most momentus hap
penings with regard to the Univer-
sity Of Mississippi, since the crea-
ton of that institution in the days
before the civil war, occurred upon
last Wednesday, March the thirty
first, when the senate by the close
margin of one vote passed the ap-
preparation bill by the terms Of
which the University will receive APP
proximately seven hundred thousand
dollars in addition to something
over three hundred thousand in the
form of a support fund. The ap-
preparation bill had already passed
the House by a safe majority on
the Tuesday before the Senate voted
on it upon Wednesday. In all, the
University will receive q little over
one million dollars which will be de-
voted in part to the building of q.
chemistry building, new dormitory,
many needed improvements, etc. etc.
This is the first appropriation OF
any great size that this institution
has received since its establishment.
In the same bill generous appropria-
lions were given to practically all
other institutions under the control
Of the state. A. and Ms appropria-
ton was cut more than any other in
stitution, but the reduction as
whole in the appropriation which
totaled FIVE millions Of dollars was
comparatively small. Great was
the joy Of the entire University
Community upon learning that at
last this grand old institution was
to receive an adequate appropriation.
This appropriation means that in
the near future our school here will

with Butler a close second.
In the second half the girls wear
ing the red and blue strapped along
well but in vain except to gain
for themselves an excellent reputa-
ton. Dunlap, Bailey, and PEBBLES
kept the ball in our territory most OF
the time and when G. H. S. had it,
guarded it in an alright manner.
The goods are not satisfied with
the result and hope to go to Mem
phis in a few days and return the
compliment that was thrust upon
them. They will carry their own
referee.
And so ended the two games the
last with score of 21-15 against
the Ole Miss five, but the score will
be far different the next set of
games. The umpire was excellent
and the square deal she gave us is
appreciated by all.

McC orulack Sings 4
New Love Song

Few singers can so truly interpret
the spirit Of love song as John Nc
Cormack. For his latest Victor re-
cording he has chosen "Your Eyes
Have Told Ne So.' song with a
tender and yet catching melody, sweet
flowing harmonies and a refrain in
waltz tempo that is irresistible. Every
note is as clear and beautiful as bell
tone, and the crowning high note. at
the end. is possible only to great
tenor voice.
Persons familiar with Massenets
opera, "Herodiade." will recall the pas
sages of extraordinary beauty and
sweetness in the aria, "vision Fugi-
tive" (Fleeting Vision). It is in this
aria that King Herod. in delerium,
tells of his hopeless love for Salome.
Reinald Werrenrath. on new Victor
Record, sings the aria in way that
seems to accentuate the charm of the
music without sacrificing any of its
dramatic fervor. Some of the passages
are ushered in by a lovely clarionet
phrase, and attended by softly-crooning
strings and wood-winds.

LOSE TWO GAMES
SECOND GAME CLOSE,
Scores Were Sill, and 23-15. PEBBLES
and Bailey Star for Ole Miss.
First Game.

First Game.
After much delay and hesitation
on the part of C. H. S. they finally
came down for a two game series
with the Ole Miss coed quintette.
Friday night the first match came
off. and due to excellent playing
Memphis won. Our girls fought
beautifully and once or twice they
had the referee, Miss Jones, right
worried, but she managed to pull
out by some means. Barnette, their
forward, was the star of the game
for them, scoring eight field goals
the first game. Coach Sulliyan's
training sticks out all over her, in
her fast snappy manner, and wheth-
err or not the Ole Miss co-eds thank
him or not is altogether a different
question.
Memphis got the start in the first
half and ran up comfortable look
ing score (for thenn). Bailey at
center did some excellent guarding
and with her side center, lnman
reigned supreme in the middle OF
the court. Dunlap and PEBBLES both
showed up we'll against their speedy
forwards, PEBBLES making mighty
pretty underhand throw for goal
from the side of the court There
was lot of fouling but due to the
referees failing to hold up her hand
on personal fouls the score keepers
were unable to keep track OF them.
Nothing serious resulted, however.
In the last half our girls blossom
ed out and kept the score down pref
ty close. They were fighting well,
and gave C. H. S. a run for their
money. Fighting is the only word
to describe it for the entire outfit was

THE ROAD TO LA UGHTER.

This is the road to laughter
Hands clean from the CRIME Of shame
No sin that may follow after,
No smudge on al honored name,
Kindness and open dealing,
And though you may weep awhile,
In days when the laughtcr's pcaling
You shall be free to smile.
This is the road to gladness--
Courage in time of test,
Faith in the hours of sadness,
Believing that all is best;
With never a wrong behind you
And none who may doubt your worth
When the glorious joys shall find you
You may give up yourself TO mirth.
For laughter and Joy are treasures
Which those who are false must lose,
Shame offers men tawdry pleasures
But better the hurts which brlise.
And better the failures burning
Which pass in little while,
II down where the road is turning
They leave US the right to smile.
For this is the road to laughter
Honor and truth, my boy,
For never, IL shame comes after,
Can man know an hour of Joy.
Sorrow shall set you weeping,
And burdens shall fret awhile,
But in the name you're keeping
Lies ever your right to smile.
