FRoWN ON cAKE-EATERS
Rochester School Girls Will Put
Them In The Discard

mem IN ne DISCARD
Rochester February 6.-Roches =
ter school girls will put the ban on
any boy bearing earmarks of a
cake eater. Pretty eds announc-
ed this fact to the press today.
Henceforth, the Valentino type of
boy will be put in the discard, they
say, and the normal healthy, sport
loving chap will be king.
Too long have ideas about sheiks,
dark, sad eyed, romantic looking
lads held sway, they say.
I'VE want normal boys, boys who
wear plain clothes, act in a healthy,
optimistic manner, and go in for
natural, >boyish sports. We are off
from these dreamy types. These
boys who try to impress you with
an air of mystery and pretend to be
women haters, these boys who wear
corduroy trousers with a Mexican
flare. We are tired of looking at
creased hair and long forms en-
cased in high button coats. We
want natural fellows with crinkles
around the eyes from laughing,
red checked, hearty Americans"
According to these student queens.
the athlete will be the most favored
type of manhood; next to him will
come the boys interested in school
activities, displaying real wide awake
enthusiasm aside from dances.
above ALL" continued the girls,
1--WE want to go to school with boys
who laugh and act natural. Away
with the Valentino type; we want
the Rays and the Meighans."

haps when Harry E. Dickinson was
an operator at the Northwestern

one years ago, he used to dream of
the time when he would be a great
railroad man and ride over the
country in his special car. If he did
he has lived to see that dream
come true and he has paid a visit
to his old nome town arriving and
departing in his own private car.
Mr.. Dickinson, now of Omaha. su-
perintendent and general manager
of the Northwestern railway west
of the Missouri river, spent several
days the last week visiting with
relatives and old friends in BaIaton.
He has gained the high position
which he now holds by hard W ork
and efficiency. having won promo
ton after promotion. since he en-
tered the Balaton station as an OPP
orator more than two score years
ago. After spending few years in
the station here Dirkenson was sent
to Clark. S. D.. as agent and then
to Yankton and Watertown in like
capacity. While at WATERFOWL he
was made trainmaster and division
superintendent and was finally pro-
NOTED to the position he now holds.
