HIGH SCHOOL
NOTES

Since there are only two weeks
more of school, or one week of study
and one week of examinations, the
majority of the students are taking it
seriously Many can be seen cross
ing the campus with scowls on their
faces, while others in between the
classes study franticalIy in prepara-
ton for the final tests. During the
lunch period the grounds seem to be
deserted, as the students are prob
ably in their rooms INDUCING in study
instead of wasting their time as they
formerly did.
Last Friday afternoon Leo o. Sea-
man was elected captain of the Phoe-
nix high rifle team. The team for
several months has been practicing
on Saturday under the supervision
of Lieutenant Dykes. The team is
out TO win another championship for
Phoenix high.
The registrar has announced that
the students are not registering as
they should. A student may lose the
chance of attending high school next
year if he neglects to register this
term, for crowded conditions next
year may cause those who did not
register this year to be left out.
Registrations for next years fresh
men Will take place this week. The
report of grammar school graduates
from the local schools indicate that
the freshmen class next year will
surpass all other first classes in the
history of the school.
There afe several cadet hats. school
books of all kinds, pocket books, and
other lost arr cles in the registrars
office. Students who have lost arti-
eles this --cS should see II. w. Stauf-
facker.
Fred Miller was elected captain
OF the 1929 baseball team. Fred, who
was captain of this years team. has
done splendid work on the mound for
the coyote team and will certainly
prove himself again as a leader.

No Trouble to Keep
Skin Free From Hairs
(The Modern Beautyl

There is no need for any woman
to countenance superfluous hairs,
because with a paste made by
mixing some powdered delatone
with water it is easy to get rid of
them. The paste is applied for 2
or 3 minutes. then rubbed off and
the skin washed. This treatment
will rid the skin of hair without
leaving a blemish. but care should
be taken to see that you get real
delatone. Mix fresh as wanted.

CHAPTERIl

The LADY in the Limousine.

Inc Lazy IN tne LIMOUSINE.
West, still attired in khaki uniform,
but wearing the red chevron of hon
orable discharge on his left sleeve,
sat in the club writing room, his feet
comfortably elevated, e~ndeavoring to
extract some entertainment from h
evening paper. The news was not
particularly interesting, however, and
finally, obsessed with the feeling that
1t would soon be time for him to serl-
ously contemplate the procuring of
suitable employment, the young man
turned the sheet about rather idly, and
ran his eyes down the columns devoted
to classified advertising.
Half way down the first column, I'M
der the head of miscellaneous" he
paused and read a paragraph with
some interest; then read it over again,
emitting a soft whistle between his
teeth.
swell, by Jove!" he said to himself
slowly, "That doesn't sound so bad,
either; out of the ordinary, at least.
Say, Thompson" and he turned to
a tall young fellow busily writing at
the adjoining desk, and showed the
paper under his eyes, pointing at the
paragraph which had attracted atten-
ton, with one finger, "What do you
make out of that, old manY'
The other, rather sober-faced, and
slow Of speech, read the advertisement
word by word, with no change of ex-
preston.
"Rot," he said solemnly. EITHER a
Joke, or some scheme on. Why? In.
terested In it?'
SIN a measure, yes. I've a good
mind to answer, and take a chance"

cisively, and turning back to his
writing. THAT is some game being
pulled off. Likely as not it means
blackmail. Besides there is no adj
dress"
"That's one thing I like about It,
retorted the other; "They are in earn
est. and taking no chances of having
their purpose guessed at. BY Jove, ]
don't see how any one can get in bad
merely by finding out what 1t al
means"
"Well, do as you please; you would

Her terrible tragedy is not that of the
Empress, but of the wife and mother. fear
ful for the safety of her husband and her
children.
The entire episode of Rasputin's appear
ance at court is recounted by Madame
Dehn, together with the incidents which
have given rise to the suggestions of his
fanatical hold over the royal family. Ac-
cording to her, he had never held a shred
of influence in political circles and was
tolerated at court simply because coinci-
dence had connected the recovery from ILL
ness of the Tsarevitch with his prayers
over him and gratitude seemed to force
the Car to refuse the suggestions Of his
advisers TO send Rasputin home when
scandal was linking his name with that of
the Empress
II is difficult after reading Madame
Dehn's book to remain uninfiuenced by the
picture which she paints. Here is no woman
torn by the Vaccinations of political in
trigue, but a simple wife in whom love for
a husband who returned her affection in
full measure and devotion to her family
were the dominating emotions. Far from
being pro-German. the author shows that
Uncle Willie" as the children were in
the habit of disrespectfully referring to
the former Kaiser, was held in disfavor,
not only by the Tsaritsa, but by all the
members of the royal family. Madame Dehn
has had an intimacy with the Empress
which far exceeds that enjoyed by any of
the more journalistic chroniclers who have
sought to give the world an account of
her life. 1t is her opinion that the defama-
ton Of the former Tsaritsa was simply part
of a revolutionary plan, furthered in the
hope of Withdrawing the affections of the
peasantry from their rulers. Her tone has
the stamp of feeling and of authenticity.
Certainly her evidence will throw new
light upon a much disputed period of Rus
sian history.

THE REAL TSARITSA. BY Lii Dehn. Lit
tie, Brown & Co.
"HE debacle of the Imperial Govern
ment of Russia in 1917 sent cloud
of ominous rumor and scandal
lowering about the name of the Empress
Alexandra. Even before the crash came
about slander had whispered the story OF
her supposed laison with Raspuun, the
peasant monk. But with the failure of the
Russian offensives, it was rumored that
the pro-German sympathies of the En-
press were responsible for the defeat Of
her armies, and treason was added to the
list of crimes laid at the feet of this most
unfortunate parsonage.
Now comes Madame Lii Dehn, the most
intimate friend of the Tsaritsa, not only
to clear her name from the charges which
have denigrated it, but to give to the world
a real insight and understanding into the
life of the royal family. Madame Dehn
makes no attempt to assume the task OF
the historian. presenting the events of a
more political nature, which led to the in
stitution of revolution and revolt in Rus
sia- Rather, she is the biographer, re-
counting not only what she heard but what
she saw as well of the Tsaritsa from the
