"The honor constitution is not
dead" according to Miss Mabel Ben
nett the chairman of the committee
in charge of the constitution. We
hope to have it in shape to present to
the student council before the end of
next month, and If favorably passed
upon it will probably be in force be-
fore the eEd of the present term.
The honor constitution was drawn
up last year for the purpose OF Great
ing 4 hisher standard of classroom
conduct during examinations and reel
tations.. In its hrst draft, however,
the constitution did not meet with
unanimous approval and was not ac-
cepted by the student council. 1t now
is being revised to meet the desires
of the student body, and 1t is hoped
that it will receive more favorable
reception than did its predecessor.

A genuine Strad in excellent condition

The average commercial violin of

sells for $50. The reason for this diff
ference in price is not the mere mat

the contrary. It is impossible for mod

nanship of the Cremona school OF the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries,
whose instruments are eagerly sought
by connoissetrs on account of their
richness Of tone. which experts ate
tribute largely to the f1exibiiity of the

Others contend that the supremacy of

How to Succeed-1.,
A young girl who is just starting
out in business asks me If can give
her any tips on how to succeed.
Here are ten rules that. faithfully
followed, will enable any girl to climb
to the top OF her own indiyiduai
sit down quietly and make a
cold and dtspassionate study of your
own talents and tastes. and try to
find out what nature intended you to
do. Don't take up some occupation
for which you have no turn because
you think 1t is romantic, or aristo-
cratic. If God did not make you q
writer, or a musician, or an artist you
can not make yourself one, no matter
how hard you try 49,!
Choose the kind of work you
like to do, for the only work we dc
we'll is eongenial work. We never be-
grudge the time or trouble we put in
on doing the thing We enjoy doing.
We are pretty sure to fail at any oc-
cupation where the pleasure of doing
our task isn't half the pay.
2--Take the time and trouble TO
learn how tie do the thing you under
take to do thoroly. Make yourself an
expert in 1t. The trade schools have
OF ordinary ability and by thereby
teaching her how to do the thing she
is trying to do, can double her eff
cheney and her earning capacity.
You have to work just as many
hours and put in as many ticks doing
thing badly, as in doing 1t well. The
difference lies in the results. Good
work means good pay, poor work
poor pay, SO prepare yourself to dc
the kind of work that draws down the
fat envelope on Saturday night. ~.
3-Dress your part. When. you
come to work look like an efficient
business woman instead of a chorus
girl, who has Just strayed in from
a midnight ffo1ic. You wouldn't have
much faith in the business ability OF
a man who came to work in his dress
suit No more will anyone believe
that you are anything but a. fluffy
ruffles If you are juggling with jewelry
hoora's nest, and wear shoes that keep
your mind so concentrated on how
your feet hurt you cannot think OF
anything else.
PUT punch in your werk. Put
your heart in 1t. Take SOME interest
in what yeu are doing. You cam,
realize how depressing 1t is to an en-
ployer to dictate letters to stenog-
rapher who yawns- over them, and who
doesn't care whether she gets them
right or not. -
It's the sales girl who takes a per-
sonal interest her customers, and
who hunts up the things they want
who gets to be the head of the depart
ment. not the lackadaisical young
woman who says. I'VE haven't got it,.
without ever taking the trouble to
even look for the desired article.
