All Put Clubs Into Practice.
Candy Offered for Prize.

Girls have begun rifle practice AT
Western, Eastern and Central
High Schools.
Under the direction OF Margaret
Reese, the manager, and Lee Ham
ilton, assistant manager. the West
ern girls rifle team began prac-
tice Thursday, when about fifteen
girls reported In the lunchroom 10
take their turns at the guns.
The scores were only fair, but
this is explained by the fact that
the girls lack practice. This lack
OF practice is due TO the long wait
necessitated by the condition OF the
guns and the fact that the light
ing system has been out OF order.
With these essentials fixed, tho
practice will continue regularly on
Mondays and Thursdays. The
girls are allowed TO shoot only
once a week, so an entirely diff
ferent group OF girls came on the
second practice day. Their scores
were on practically the same aver
age as the ones made on Thursday,
perhaps a little better, an few
more experienced shots reported.
The girls who made the best
scores were Ellen Warfield, Men
erva Snoddy, Margaret Hartman
and Henrietta Owens.
In the meetings held at Central
last week, Miss Hart announced
that she would give a box of candy

junior N. A. r. target, ten shots,
off.hand, and TO the first TO shoot

official N. r. A. six-buIl target.
prone. This Is her personal offer.
Al the girls declared their intention
to get at least one box of candy.
This determination will take the
girls long way. They should
make a fine showing in the con-
tests WHICH Miss Hart is hoping
to have with the teams of the
other high schools.

New Campaign for

line going in gazes hopefully at the
purchases of the line going out.
"Hopcfully," because they are quite
likely to become one of the line GO
ing out, although how soon this Will
be they cannot tell. Then there Is
the dreadful possibility Of their not
getting anything at all. This hap
pens quite frequently. 1t is esu-
mated that 81 per cent of the appli-
cants do receive their quota, and II
has been figured out by one brilliant
person that if all the lunches
bought at "Harry's" during the fif'
teen-minute recess period, were
placed side by side a line would
reach from the Capitol to Western
and around the building twice.
The type of food obtained at the
Hotel" appears TO hs very lndi'
gestible at first sight. DR.. Newton.
at one Of the school assemblies, ad-
vanced the statement that, after see
ing students entering school after
recess eating food purchased at
Bakers he didn't see how they were
able to be at school the next day.
The food is not so bad as that. and
il really tastes fine. The only
trouble is that not enough time is
given in which to make way with all
the food bought. All the indigestion
caused by the food is caused not by
the quality but by the speed with
which it must be eaten.
PLEASE SPEAK OUT"
Mere eatables are not the only
things purChasable at "Harry's."
Stationery seems to be very much in
- H. a
of each advisory, when examinations
become more frequent. Another
source of income to Mr.. Baker is the
great demand among the girls for
hairpins. All vanities are kept in
stock; kinds for every different type
of hair. After all, this is not so un-
usual as his motto is, I'VE aim to
please" Still another feature OF
this edifice is the public telephone,
which is like the rest of its race.
Added TO this latter drawback there
is no obstruction around IL, designed
to keep out the loud noise of busi-
ness transactions. In order to
phone, one must first stuff one ear
with cotton, tn place the receiver
tightly over the free ear and his
palm over the other. His first words
of conversation, after having
reached his party, must be a plea
for the use Of the party's voice.
Having carefully carried out these
simple instructions, one is reason.
ably sure of being able to make out
what remarks his opponent makes
to his own statements.
1t is difficult to imagine what will
become of Bakers" in the far future.
In those days, doubtless, p 'ople will
only need 10 take small pis of con.
Centrated nourishment in order to
live. Then, there will he no recess,
and, II any, only minute, probably,
during which pill boxes will be pro.
duced and the highly intellectual
students will hastily take n pill.
II is, indeed, horrible to think of
such a future, with no time to spend
at the Hotel" Perhaps, in those
far distant days, Bakers will be-
come a "Pillery" or place where
pills can be bought, and everyone
will hasten down to get his pill be-
fore the mob. Can you imagine
what the price of that pill will be?
