PENN JUNIOR COED
I. OUTW|TS CAPTORS.
Arrives at Freshman Election
in Time to Make Vote
4 Legal
OWES ESCAPE TO "JAILER"

THE class fight between the freshmen
and sophomore co-eds at the University
a, PENNSYLVANIA becomes more intense
hourly as the moment for the love feast
rcxt Thursday approaches.
Yesterday the sorhomorcs were out
rstted by the frcshmen--or rather by
,ss nimble brain Of Miss Miriam McGec,
n,esident of the Junior class. whose
nr,sence was required at the freshman
.,oction IN order to make the bnlIoting
valid.
The proper thing for the sophomorea
,o do Yesterday was to kidnap Miss
ltcGec, who lives at G500 North EIev-
,,,b street. This they proceeded TO do
Mics NcGee was taken to u house at
rr't,tEr,h and Dauphin streets, where
,hn wos locked in unused room. Inc
Snnbon,ores St' left and Miss McGee got
l., tourh with the lady of the house and
.n,d n nathetic tale of the necessity not
~ ,it classes, explaining that she had
resrIv reached her limit in Tint respect.
Finally the "jailer" relcnted. Miss
ucCce was taken in an auto to the
iroshmnn election. landing her there just
IN time to count the ballots and make
the election valid.
Now the stunt for the sophomoreS 10
10 capture the officers of the freshman
lass and thus nullify the election for
the present, anyway. But the freshmen
counterart that hope by calmly refusing
% announce who has been elected. But
tbe scphonores smile wise smiles and
indicate that they know that the sec
retary is Miss Peggy Schell. the vice
nresdpnt Is Miss Evelyn Scegcr and the
pprpsidcnt is either Miss Kitty EVauson
~ Miss Florence Crush.
But there is one stumbling block to
that plan. Not one Of these four girls
is to be found anywhere.
While the sophomores arc doing all
these things the freshmen have not been
Idle. Miss Helen Mathews, 400s Penn
street. Frankford. IS the president of
the sophomore class. The freshmen
know she has class today and are pre-
pared to capture her.

The Eighteenth Amendment.

The Eighteenth Amendment has been
in force for one year, and while there
are literally thousands ready to pro-
claim il failure, yet it is significant
tina; no movement which fosters the
return of the saloon or OF the in
discriminate sale of intoxicants is able
10 gather Roadway.
If one confines his reading to the
New York press he is very likely to be-
come imbued with the idea that prohi-
bition has been an utter failure in
America. These newspapers say that
it is and declare it will continue to be
a failure. They admit complacently
that they do not believe the laws re-
garding liquor will ever be enforced
and in their comments on the subject
and the encouragement which they give
the lawbreakers make it very evident
that they hope this lawlessness will
prove to be such a problem that the
United States will surrender in dis
gust TO the criminal interests.
On the other hand, one may find
in the smaller newspapers of the coun-
try the chapters of far different story.
From reading these it becomes evident
that whereas all New York sees is the
violation of the law, there are other
parts of the United States which find
that prohibition has brought many
blessings.
No one, we think, will maintain that
the law is perfectly administered or
that it is being religiously kept by the
public. Yet such a situation is not to
be looked upon as proof that prohibit
ton cannot succeed. 1t but parallels
the history of the States which wiped
out the liquor traffic years ago. These
States did not find the enforcement of
the law easy; some of them struggled
for several years before they drove the
oootleggers and the whiskey runners
to cover. Yet at no time during this
period were the citizens willing to ad-
NIT that prohibition was failure.
They found plenty of evidence to prove
that it was a success.
Those who think that the United
States is going to admit its inability
to enforce its laws; those who be-
lieve that this great, proud country will
knuckle to the dictates Of the whiskey
ring and its followers from the I'M
derworld, may as well go to the foot
OF the class. They are hopeless.-Dear-
born Independent.

An amusing example OF tit for tai
between an American and an English
man of type more common in farce
than in real life is related in the Bos-

quick-witted American.
"Aw-it must be-aw-very I'M
pleasant" said the Englishman, "for
you to be -aw-governed by people
whom you wouldn't awsk to dinner"
"Oh, | don't Know" replied the
American; no more so than for you
to be governed by people who wouldn't
ask you to dinner"
