them, probably never will. But in
view of all the corset's irregular
history. this conclusion seems a bit
uncertain. Already there are faint
signs that il Is returning to favor

of 1t, but because the Partisan de-
signers do.

blow
Is our grand old T. H. S.

And you may e'er repeat
That the spirit of her members
Will ne'er lead her to defeat.

And love her more each day,
Well cheer to victory the green and

And honor them whme'er we may.

And every day through all the year
Well pledge to it our loyalty.

Sha-kskin shoe Leather"

Recent tests OF SlarkSkin upprrS for
shoes by the United States bureau Of
standards were L,ada4 in way bo'h
Ingenious and practical. Pairs were
made to order. with one upper Of KID
and the other upper If shark lenther
and those were worn by employees of
the bureau. 1t wa. found that the
shark leather wore better and longer
than the kid. 1t has the special adj
vantage of being waterproof, 1t Is
officially announced that shark hides
yield leather of high u iality, suitable
for many purposes and attractive for
travelling bags, brief cases. desk sets
and the like. When the value of the
iivers for "cod liver" oil and the avail
ability OF the flesh as a meal for feed
ing animals are taken into consdera-
tiOn. 1t seems obvious that there is an
important future ahead of shark
fishery.

Thereupon, in all seriousness, Marshall

Books by statesmen, books by crooks,
Novels, poems, memoirs and lives,
Books by statements and their wives.
"reminiscences, free and frank,
BY ultra-prominent women of rank,
Mirrors of this and mirrors of that,
Heavy volumes extremely fat.
South Sea travels in island hooks,
Books! Books! Books! Books!
Books! Books! Books! Books!
Books i'll printed and books de luxe,
Here they come in mighty flood,
Books that joyously stir the blood,
Books that cause you to laugh and
weep,
Books that put you ere to sleep,
Tumbling merrily from the press,
Billions of volumes, more or less,
Every body has seized pen,
Plumbers, butchers and grocerymen,
BARRIERS, manicurists, spill the ink,
To tell the universe what they think.
And so they come in a steady flow,
There's none too naughty and none too
low,
To write volume, indite work,
The writing bacillus appears to Turk,
In some dark corner of every mind,
And hence. wherever we go we find,
This constant stream like thousand
brooks,
A food, a river of books and books,
And books and books and books and
books.
