Monday evening, December 4th. The
play, "Betty's Last Bet" is a very
clever little play and those who have
parts are doing ONE nice work. The
Junior class gives this play for the
purpose of raising funds to defray
the expenses of the Junior-Senior Re-
ception given for the Senior class in
the spring, and for which the Juniors
are responsible. The public is urged
to attend this performance, not only
to encourage the Junior class. but
because 1t is a production that will be
well worth seeing.
On Monday and Tuesday of the
week the annual Senior debates were
held in the High school auditorium.
The subject of the first debate
read, Resolved, that the principles
of the closed shop are justifiable.'
Affirmative, Teddy O'Melia, Frances
Bible James Mahoney. Negative.
Billy. Loomis, Oswald %Sorenson,
Reynold Seaverson,
The subject OF the second debate
read, Resolved that the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber tariff bill is not beneficial to
the people Of the United States as a
whole. Affirmative, Edward Cantlin,
Malva Larsen, Pansy Allen. Mega
tive, Margaret Blydenburgh, Harry
Holmquist. Mary Faye.
Both debates showed that quite
extensive preparations had been
made and the debaters seemed we'll
acquainted with their subject.
Debating teams have been organ
lied in the three advanced English
classes to give the pupils a knowl-
edge of the principles Of oral argu-
mentation; try-outs will be given in
each of these three classes, the best
three debaters selected from each
class and by means of inter-class de-
bates, the two best debaters OF the
High school will be selected to be
sent to the state tournament to rep
resent Rawlins High school in the
inter-scholastic contest. The ques-
ton chosen by the University for the
tournament debate reads as follows:
Resolved, that the principles OF
the closed shop are justifiable."

The present mode OF wearing short,
tight skirts only emphasizes the old
fashioned definition of lady, "a we'll
bred woman who never calls undue at
tention to herself either in actions, voice,
manner or dress" Nowadays il is this
last that young girls. especially, seem
tC regard so carelessly.
A smart dress or suit Is not to be
condemned If the skirt length Is reason
ably short, but an over-emphasis OF the
fact. obtained by crossing the knees In
public, is not only breach of true
breeding. but the consequences of such
an action bring immediate and deserved
results. Nothing so lays a young girl

Read Your Character
By Digby Phillips
Blond Buyers

IT you are a salesman you probably
have noticed that there are several dis
tinct types Of buyers. but probably IL
never occurred to you to note also how
often certain type of buyer is also
certain type Of individual in his
appearance, his build, his features, his
coloring.
Coloring has n great deal to do with
it, and if you take note of whether
your prospect is blond or a brunette
1t will help you good bit in outlining
your selling campaign so far as he Cor
she) Is concerned.
In dealing with blond buyer other
things being equal the best method to
follow is to say something or show some :
thing striking, spectacular, if possible,
about the thing you have to sell. Bril-
liant performance and emphatic quail
ties mean more to the blond than to
the brunette. BE enthusiastic and MAY
to arouse their enthusiasm.
More than this, do not be too dis
couraged II the enthusiasm you have
aroused wanes more quickly than YOU
expected, and don't take the answer
mo- too seriously. Simply call agair
at an opportune time and you'll prob
ably find it not SO difficult to arouse
that enthusiasm again, this time to thu
point of getting the order.
But avoid one thing. Don't point ouI
too freely to the blond where and how
he is wrong. Pass it over. Forget it.

Can You Tell?
How Playing Cards Originated
BY r. J. and A. ". Bodmer

The most careful investigation has
thus far failed to disclose the exact date
Of the invention of playing cards. or
the exact place of their origin. But
Q pack has been found which bears
evidence of date not later than 500
A. D.. and all the facts obtainahle point
to Hindustan as the place Of their
origin. The relation of cards to chess
Ia supported by so many corrOborative
circumstances as to be placed almost
beyond the shadow Of doubt. To be-
gin with. the ancient game OF chess
known to the Hindus as "Chaturunga, y
or the four Kings-was played by two
armies on side. acting independently
Of each other except in common action
against a mutual foe. AND the name
Of Four Kings has in comparatively
modern times been applied to cards in
Europe. The pieces in the old game
of chess consist of king. vizier or gen J..
eral, knight. elephant and castle, ana
a number of pawns. The ancient pack
Of ards, as we'll as those in first use
in Europe, also possessed no queen,
women. according to the Oriental idea
being entirely out of place in game
Of war. We owe her introduction to
the gallantry Of the French, or lta!-
fans not later than the close of the
fourteenth century.
Chess came from India. about the
time of Cosru the Great, \. ID. 900.
when it had not been long in use and
reached Europe with the return OF the
Crusaders. Placing the intention OF
chess therefore at about A. D. 900, it
would be perfectly safe TO allow at
least n century for the development Of
the game from the more cumbersome
nieces TO the more easily handled cards.

Things You'll Love to Make

A MANY-IN-ONE BLOUSE will
save a lot Of time in preparing q
spring wardrobe. Make a blouse on Il
lining. Have the little jacket effect
loose at the bottom edges. The two tabs,
back and front, are loose, too. Make
several differently colored camisoles.
Have them of different materials also.
AS they should slip over the head, run
thin rubber in the top and bottom. Sew
the lower parts of several snaps along
the top edge Of each camisole. The
upper parts Of the snaps sew to the
under side of the jacket part of the
blouse. Have a buttonhole in the end
of each tab. and button on the belt
over which to fasten the tabs. You can
change the cannsole whenever you wish
Each one will give n "new" look to the
blouse. Thus your MANY-lN- ONE
BLOUSE will take the place of as
many different blouses as You have
camisoles. FLORA.
