The Delta independent., 1924-10-31

A new type of car has stirred the automobile world
as has nothing since the Abandonment of the buggy
style of body building
1t is the Studebaker Duplex, so called to Indicate
that it is an open moment and 80 seconds
later it is enclosed car.
Like all great advance in the industrial arts it
is so simple in operation it is a wonder it wasn't
thought of before" -
Particularly since its need has been growing, year
by year, since automobiles were made.
Many people all of the time, and most people part
of the time want open car-to bring to their riding
the fresh crspness of the country air. and free and
untrammeled association with the great outdoors.
Yet for these people, the snug comfort of the
closed car, shutting out the storm and the wind and
the cold, has been at times a necessity.

Of course, there's no usc saying anything to Sam's mother. she $ so fnssy, so when she said we had to pay for them ourselves we just go to, that's all And the worst of it was we couldn't get back the other things be- cause of the scarlet fever. and then. of course. the regular fcller was out of the store and the woman wouldn't believe us"

Play ToBeGiven At College
 Friday

The 'Paint And Patches Club" of the Birmingham-South college will present its first play of the season on Friday evening in the Owen hall audi. torium under the direction of Mrs. Earle G. McLin. The student body of the college and their friends are assured a treat when this play Barbara Makes A Splash" will be given by some of the best talent at the college.
 The cast has been rehearsing daily for the past several weeks and has reached point of almost perfection on the play.
 Of the story the Gold and Black has the following
 Barbara Makes A Splash" is a three-act play by the well-known play wright, Eugene Hooper. In brief, it deals with the affairs of certain Mir. Westcott, a wealthy automobile manuG facturer on the brink of ruin. His stenographer and his son are the prin- cipals, these parts being played by Miss Corrine Travis and MT. Henry Richard.
 The characters in themselves are a sensation. In Mir. Richard we find a dashing, resourceful young man who. in addition to having unusual execu- tive ability, proves himself to be the country's foremost speed demon, by driving his fathers car to victory on the world famous Indianapolis speed way.
 The charming character of Barbara is played by Miss Travis with unusual ability.
 An evident incongenuty, which is really tribute to her ability as an ac- tress. is found in the character of Eve lyn Foster, taken by Miss Elizabeth Grove. She is a flaming, fascinating and wholly irrestistable vampire. Know ing the retiring Miss Grove as we do, we find ourselves at loss to account for her success in this role on any other grounds than that of her talent as an actress. Mir. Ed Morris plays the part of an imposter Englishman Horace with his bah jove all choppe" and his "pesky monicle" we are never at a loss to enjoy rich joke.
 Only lack of space prevents a de- lineation of the other characters. Sui. flee to say that Miss Elizabeth Smith. Mir. Russell Johnson, Miss Mildred Adams, Mir Verman Kimbrough, and Mir. Thomas R. Walker. Jr., are all ill the play and assure us that it will be a success.
 Tickets for this play are now on sale for fifty cents. Students should rally to the support of drama tics on the Hill hy purchasing tickets at once and thus reassuring those in charge of the play that the college is behind them in their various undertakings in the dramatic field.

thirst for liquor and an itch for the pasteboartls, and he pities himself as being a victim of fate instead of de- spising himself as weakling.
 You never hear of a high tempered woman admitting to herself that she is shrew, and virago. and that it is simply self-indulgence that makes her fly into rages when anything annoys her and abuse everybody about her like fishwife. No, she simply says that she has the Brown temper and expects her family and friends to overlook the scenes she makes and forgive and forget the cruel things she says to them dur ing her tantrums.

Doesn't understand me, is the alibi of the wife who lies down on her job and quits trying to make herself attractive to her husband and a pleasant home for him.
 She expected matrimony to be all thrills and kisses. and lovey dovey sentiments. She thought her huS- band would remain the perpetual lover and spend his time paying her gorgeous compliments. She has found out that matrimony is a dull, deadly grind of doing your duty that it is full of work and worry that her husband is a commonplace human being instead of a romantic hero, and she has got tired of it all and quit cold.

They never had chance. They had no education because their fatb- CTS were not able to send them to Harvard and Vassar. Yet all about them are cultured men and women who worked their way through col lege. or went to night school. or who are self-educated by reading and study.

ill-health is the alibi of the lazy.
 The shiftless never admit that the reason why they do not work. and why they sit around and let other people support them, is because they are lacking in energy. and that the very thought of making any effort is repugnant to them. On the contrary. they always say how much they wish they could engage in some strenuous and profitable occupation. but their poor health will not permit it. They have a bad back. or weak heart. or some mysterious ailment the matter with their feet or their nerves that in capacitates them from doing every thing but eating and playing golf or bridge.
 It is perfectly wonderful how man miles an invalid woman, who is too sic to do any of her own housework, ca

"If remember" said Bobby's father Miss Kelly is the star in arithmetic, But what's the trouble with Susie? You didn't tell me-
 Sure I did," said Bobby patiently. "Of course she up and got scarlet fever. too. off from Mamie Kelly and shes been sick something fierce. Mamie Kelly's back to school already and Su- sie's still sick. Sans been over three times to holler outside her winder. but she ain't up yet. The last time h." was there was yesterday and Mrs. Her rick she opened another and called down to know would Sam go to the store and get some things right off. She said she couldn't get 'em on the telephone and she was in a hurry. She told Sam what she wanted and he wrote it all down with a pencil he got for his birth day and aint lost yet. Then he called for mo and Billy and we chased over to the store"
 That was nice of you boys" said his father arprovingly. "It must have been great help to Susies mother
 "It's one of these here stores whore you help yourself" said Bobby with a sigh. And you have to chase around the place picking things out. The guy that runs this one was changing the winders and he had lot of stuff piled on the floor what he was. going to put in to show off the things he had to sell. He was in the back of the store getting some more things and Billy said let's take some of the stuff Mrs Her rick wanted out of the piles by the window and save us a lot of trouble chasing around. So we got a lot of the things from the piles and Sam checked them off from his list as we put them in the basket.
 "There was some things we had to get off from the shelves, but mostly we found what we wanted right there, all right. Sam said we was in luck on ac- count of him being in a hurry to get

She thinks it isn't worth while to dress up for man who apparently doesn't notice how she looks. She thinks there is no use in preparing dain- ty dinners for man who sobbles them down without saying Thank you.

 gloomily. "And cheating gets folks into an awful lot of trouble, and costs heap.
 II am pleased to see that you are learning some necessary lessons quite carly" said his father. But l trust that no one whom I know has been cheating
 Not if you mean me" said Bobby. "If I wasn't so awful honest l wouldn be in any mixup at all, l wouldn't and that's what makes me so sore.
 What happened?" asked his father.
 Ut was all along of Susie Herrick $ getting funny" Bobby began. 'She up and said she bet she could get into Mamie Kelly's house for all they had a sign on the door. and she sneaked in the back way and went upstairs to Mamie's room and talked with her a whole lot before they chased her out.

] seamanship.
 Disillusion is the alibi the philan- dcring husband makes for his side stepping.
 His wife didn't prove to hc tho angel he thought he was marrying She has nerves and q temper. lt takes money to support her. She IS unreasonable and exacting. They have dissimilar tastes. She is too domestic and smells of bread and butter, or else she gads too much, and, anyway, she has got middle aged and fat, and is not slim, and pretty, and gay like some young flapper in his office or some vamp who has her eye on his pocketbook. The man never planes himself, and admits that the reason that he roams IS because he is tired of domesticlty. he craves adventure and romance. and he hasn't got the rock bottom principle that makes him stick to his bargain and be faithful to the wife he has sworn to love and cherish, just because he IS ln duty and honor bound to do so, even after the gilt has rubbed off the ginger bread.
 X mothers alibi for spelling her children is love and tenderness. She inculcates selfishness in thcm by denying them nothing because she cant bear to disappoint them.
 She does not teach them obedience because il is too much trouble to fight strong willed youngsters. She does not form habits of self-control in them be- cause it takes time and patience and strength to do it. She makes them weddings by pamperinG them and spoil. ing them. but she never planes herself when they turn out to he rottcrs, She excuses herself for running th"lr lives by thinking how she loves them
 A great and glorious thing Is the alibi. It keeps us from seeing our selves as we are. There is always somebody or something we can blame for the misfortunes we have really brought upon our own heads
