him.

threatened the dog and it sought pro-

feed the dog before driving him away.

the dog He tied the dog TO pipe with
a piece of string.
There was conflict within Jenkins. He
loved that dog. The dog was a kindred
spirit. So Jenkins tried to bully him
self into the belief that he was really
trying TO lose the dog. The string he
tied the dog with was a weak one. The
dog broke it and caught up. with Jen-
kins.
jenkins still had the problem on his
hands, He got piece Of rome and went
down to a creek. He would drown the
dog. Yessir.. That's just what he'd
no!
The dog was a big one. The rock
he tied on his neck was a small one.
He threw the dog in. Then he hid his
face in his hands, remorspful at the first
cruel thing he had ever done. He was
reused by the dog shaking water on
him.
Dawn found him with the problem
unsolved. Jenkins couldn't go home

"Gimme" Falls Short.

Rupert Hughes deals with family
finances in Gimme" That is subject
of wide interest. One might say it is
universal in its scope. However,
Hughes hits his subject a glancing blow
and thus fails to ring the bell.
Perhaps you have watched men al
carnivals or street fairs with a large
maui in their hands trying to make
weight slide up wire and ring
the bell at the top Of a high up
right. The secret of success in that
venture lies not in the force with
which the blow is struck, but in
meeting the lever that propels the weight
with n square blow.
The success Of driving home a con.
elusion on the screen is achieved in
a similar manner, but many movie
makers rely on force rather than on
accuracy TO gain their end.
Thus Hughes starts out with the
subtitle, "Money has wrecked more
homes than sim" 1t sounds pretty
bat is illogicali Having started or
that false premise he is unable tC
e1zricate himself and his theme as h
goes along and so he seems to have
stopped several times during the film

Perhaps the above attitude TOWARD

this morning to listen to an address

connection with the assembly was
the fact that there were not enough

thing that has new happened be-
fore since tho new vocational build

students in school.
