OXFORD, England, July as
Members of the American Bar
Association have paid a college
debt of II shillings 10 pence for
''battel,' more specifically, bread
and beer, which was left unpaid
by Lawrence Washington. great
uncle of George Washington, when
he left Brasenose College in 1888.
After a luncheon in the hall of
the college with the principal and
fellows of .Brasenose Saturday, the
visiting lawyers were shown the
old college records, including this
unpaid bill of Washington's when
he was fellow of the college.
Immediately afterward the Ameri-
cans held a meeting and, with
the amused sanction of the princi-
pal and in recognition of the hos
pitality they had enjoyed, but with
one condition, that the question of
accrued interest he definitely
waived, they subscribed the out
standing II shillingS and 10 pence.
With some ceremony they handed
the money to the principal SO the
the Brasenose records no longer
would show any blot on the
escutcheon of the Washingtons.

nearby show. Now. these boys are coming

the pictures. and not to f1irt and have
dates with them. VIII it be all right to
continue to go. although the boys are
there? TROUBLED TRIO.
If you conduct yourselves as you
should, don't know why these boys
should suspect you of flirting
with them, or why you should
change your plans just because they
happen to attend the same show.
