ment operation is as poison ivy in the
garden Of industry.
Through checks and balancse re-
/ auircd under government ownership,
initiative on the part OF employees is,
in large measure killed or forbidden.
That inspiration which comes through
profit and the building for ones self
for the future is utterly lacking. So.
in the combined lack of initiative and
inspiration, there is not created tina,
vision which is necessary for perma-
nent upbuilding.
Private Owners Did Better
| do not want to be understood as
insinuating that the Shipping Board

Grafton of the ships ii is running. In
its early history, however, because OF
the vast fleet it had to run without
q properly trained organization, the
results obtained were by no means
those produced by private ownership,
and no one will so argue
But / aver that under the Harding
administration the shipping Boards
operation has become comparable 10
the best operations of privately own
ed ships. It is blind American who,
al equal prices, with service compare
bic to the best, fails to give overwhel-
ming preference to his government
owned ships. for they are the best
insurance he has Of sure carriage TO
his overseas customers until private
American ownership comes into
being.
The point wish to emphasize,
though, is that government owner
ship. while today satisfactory for I'M
mediate needs, is not building up for
the future, and IS overly costly in its
operations at all times.
Only Solution to Problem
While We are losing 100000, 900
annually in cash in operation, we are
wearing out the fleet, and in the
course of few years it will be ,f
no worth. Nowhere have | heard any

Many Visitors
Daily at Central

Central was visited last week by
men interested in our school system
and buildings. Several Of the men
were from Georgia, while one was
from China, but all were equally
impressed with Central,
Mr.. r. X. Chu, general secretary
Of the Worlds Chinese Students
Federation, Shanghai, China, was
one. He visited the different de-
partments and shops, and was so
favorably impressed that he plans
to return to see how recitations
are conducted.
Mr.. Sutton. superintendent of
schools in Georgia. also went
through the school, and expressed
his admiration. On the same day
an architect. also from Georgia,
was an interested visitor. Randall
Buckingham took him through the
shops. the gymnasium. and the sta
dunn. He thought all Of these
above the average; but when he
saw the indoor track and the swim.
ming pool. he became enthusiastic.
We are told that he gazed In won
der and marveled at the track
especially. After the tour was com.
pleted. he made that remark so
Characteristic of our visitors: rs

Business had a number of girl
stars playing basketball this year.
Perhaps you know some Of them.
On the eighth-semester team
Booty Tew and Marianne Spell

Virginia Dyer. although this il

Martha Lavisson and Anna Simp-

team. thereby winning fame for
themselves in their final year at
Business.
Polly Walker and Norma Wolfe,
better known as Peanuts, are
snappy players in center.
The fourth-semester team had
two accurate forwards In Margaret
whaley and Helen Sheckles.
In the center field Gertie Ochs.
Estelle Cumberland, and Elizabeth

Din1pIes?

OF course this organization met
with great success. 1t was and
is the talk of the school. Those
who were not proud possessors
Of dimples were very envious of
the favored and, expressing the
desire to cultivate dimples, asked
how 1t was done. The following
are directions: Place one large
bean in each spot where a dim
pie IL desired. tie a handkerchief
or rag tightly around the head
so as to hold the beans in place,
and sleep with the device on
until the flesh has been pushed
in to the desired degree.
All cultivated dimples must be
at least two months old.
1t is indeed very interesting to
watch the growth of dimples.
We have them all sizes and
shapes. Some are disappointed
because they have not had as
much success as others. How
ever, by patience and perserver-
ing they will soon be proud poss-
essors of dimples.
Don't you wish you belonged to
a distinguished school, like East
ern, that has a Dimple Club?

CENTRAL WILL SOON HAVE
STRONG ATHLETIC RIVALS

Central at present holds the
enviable position of being the
finest school. from a standpoint of
architecture and equipment, in the
city. But when present plans are
completed. in the course of a few
years, the Hilltop institution will
have a rival-Eastern.
Much has already been said
about the plans for Eastern's new
building, upon which a beginning
has been made. Now Tech and
Business come forward with re-
quests for new buildings. To
Judge from the support the move
ments are receiving, they are des-
tined to have their requests COM
piled with.
The new structures would prob
ably be erected on or near the
site occupied by the present build
ings.
Plans. which are not yet def
nitely decided upon, would in all
probability include similar equip
ment to that now in use at Cen
trail and proposed for Eastern.
Swimming pool, gymnasium, a
large auditorium, laboratories with
complete equipment. library, and
lunchroom would be included. and
possibly print shop, rifle range,
srmory, housekeeping apartment.
and other less usual institutions.

grounds and appropriations for a

Suggests HonorS
for Live Wires

The Tech General Organization
has recently considered two new
bylaws for the constitution.
which are published here. Both
recommend and provide for the
awarding of honor medals.
One proposed bylaw names as
the recipients of the distinction.
the editor and the business man
ager OF the Yearbook. providing
that such awards meet with the
approval OF the faculty adviser.
There are few more difficult
tasks in any activity at Tech
than that of editing and manag-
ing a publication such as the
Yearbook; nor any with less
glory. There is nothing spectacu-
lar connected with such offices.
The student body hears little or
nothing about them. But the
successful fulfillment requires
constant application and genuine
hard work. There are no more
worthy offices at Tech IL the
duties are faithfully discharged.
The second proposed bylaw
specifies that all commissioned
officers Of the Second CTech)
Regiment shall, upon recommended
ton of the professor of military
science and tactics, receive honor
medals after the annual COM
petitive drill. Here. again. is a
most excellent resolution. Sell

ceives a commission before his

hard to say, although Eastern pro-
poses to have an athletic field,
much on the order Of the Cen
trail stadium, adjoining her new
building.
1t takes time to build a school,
as those Centralites who attended
old Central during the construc-
ton Of the new building will tes.
tify. and 1t is hardly probable,
allowing for ordinary delays. that
any OF the present Techites and
Businessites will attend classes in
the new buildings unless II be the
rookiest OF the rocks. and those
people who habitually require
about six years. Nevertheless, the
people who are now doing their
best to bring the now schools to
pass, and will have the pride OF
knowing that their efforts were
largely responsible.

malIy.
By LOUISE SMITH, '2s.

A THOUGH Eastern is
IA small, one of it's main
characteristics is distin-
guishedness. This is shown in
many ways, but especially by
the clubs. We have one club
at Eastern, the like Of which has
nowhere ever been known be-
fore. The members of this club,
consisting Of pupils, q faculty
adviser and an alumni adviser,
are particularly distinguished be-
cause Of their obvious qualifica-
tions. This club is especially de-
sirable because it is one Of the
few organizations sanctioned by
the Board Of Education. 1t is
the Eastern High School Dimple
Club.
CHARTER MEMBERS.
The founding Of the club came
about In this way: A popular
member of our faculty often men,
toned names OF Easternites who
possessed dimples. One day she
mentioned a few who were quail
fled to belong to a Dimple Club,
If there were such an organiza-
ton. These words gave inspir-
alton to some Of our bright
seniors and in November 1921; the
Dimple Club was organized. The
following are the charter men,
bers:
Student body: Marjory Black.
Willard Ritterbush, Catherine
Browne. Carroll Flohr. Peggy
Hall. Faculty adviser: Miss
Moore. Alumni adviser: Eddie
Gary.
Those wishing to join our
famous Dimple Club must poss-
ess one. preferably two dimples.
Unanimous vote is necessary to
insure genuineness of dimples.
RED HAIR BEST.
Any members who possess both
red hair and dimples are given
positions Of honor.
Here IL printed a copy of the
application blank which must be
filled out. Applicants are asked
to be very prompt. honest and
frank in filling out and sending
in the applications.
