General Slowza sat in his tent
with a bottle of floor polish, the
favorite beverage of Snickeroria.
IF we can only beat the enemy
the war is won," said General
Slowza, with the military genius
which had won him fame.
Suddenly shot rang out, and

Jim easily solved the problem
by mailing coal bills to the enemy.

The smugglers have no difficulty

Immediately and avoid all possibility
of their own apprehension and prose-

"a golf course would certainly
be a fine thing to have, but 1t
means an expenditure of between
100000 and 100000. Moreover,
one difficulty with. college golf
course is that the students are not
around during the biggest part OF
the playing season. The fact that
many Of the students would take
up golf for the first time would
mean that the destruction done the

Joie Ray Has No Idea
Of DESERVING Chicago
for New York

CHICAGO, April 2.-Joie
Ray, middle distance runner Of
the Illinois Athletic Club, will
continue to run under the colors
of the Tricolor club, despite re-
ports that he planned to enter
the stove business in New York
and settle down there.
John Behr, track coach at the
/. A. c., says the report of Ray
entering business in New York
is a joke. "That stove business
belongs to an old pal of Joie's,
Eddie Mayo, a former athlete,
and Ray has been staying with
Mayo during his off time in
New York. l suppose folks
seeing Ray around the shop
have taken it for granted that
he has purchased an interest in
the place."
Charles A. Dean, chairman of
the athletic committee of the
l. A. c., said Joie has never con-
sidered leaving the Tricolor club.
