SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
RA F "A WALK Err
DANISH SELFlSHNESS

IF YOU will look around you, give
- few moments each day to the
cause of disquietude in business and
social circles, you will find. if your
heart is tuned Alright and your vision
is clear, that selfishness is at the
bottom of many of our troubles.
Nations and peoples in their COM
mendable effort to eliminate violent
hates, seemingly overlook the despica-
BILE thing from which hostilities grow.
Sorrows that stir the eye to tears,
wreck homes and pile burdens on ach-
ing backs unable to bear them, come
In large number Of cases from self
love, illiberality toward one another,
narrow-mindednes and -'egotism-
blotches upon your escutcheon and
mine which we ought by every pos
sible means at our command strive to
rub off.
In moments when loftiness of pur-
pose takes hold of us and we discover
how self-worshipful we are, If we
would cleanse our own selfish souls,
we would soon find the world sweeter
and brighter.
In heavy atmosphere of selfish
ness how can the sun of gladness
shine through?
How are we to put aside this preva.
lent fault in others If we do not first
put it aside in ourselves?
The proper qualities of content and
happiness are frequently flung aside
by those who consult their own inter-
ests, needless of the rights Of their
neighbors.
1t is lamentable human custom to
do this, but that does not in the least
lessen our personal and duteous OBJ
legation to humanity at large.
To face the fact and know, Is better
than to- keep on making mistake af-
ter mistake and piling up regrets for
ourselves and those who in later years
must take up the burdens we are no
longer able to carry.
If we make but a step or two In
the right direction and hold our posi-
ton bravely, whether we stand or
fall, we will have accomplished some
thing which will cheer us as we near
the gathering twilight.

qlHe TALE oNA
KIDDIE MIYDD a
l2Arthur Scott Bailey HEN0b

said Mr.. Frog II look for a sudden
change in the weather. Nobody ought
TO venture out tonight without his
heaviest overcoat on"
After flinging that remark over his
shoulder, Mr.. Frog flung himself in
side his tailor's shop and slammed the
door behind him. And then, sitting
down cross-legged upon his table, he
began to think, wrinkling his low
brow until you might have supposed
he would need to smooth it out again
with one of his fiatirons.
At last the tailor suddenly quit
thinking and smiled very widely from
ear to ear. And carefully selecting
some soft. warm, green cloth he be-
gan to fashion small garment, which
was tiny enough to ,fit-well, to fit a
person as little as Riddle Katydid
Being spry worker, Mr.. Frog fin
ished his task by nightfall. And then,
taking his handiwork with him, he left
his shop-after locking the door be-
hind him-and hid himself beneath a
shelving rock on the bank of the
creek.
He was in very happy mood; for
his ideas about the weather had
proved to be good. It was already
turning cold.
'If ii wasn't midsummer I should
think we were going to have frost p
Mr.. Frog exclaimed, buttoning the
long coat which he had donned before
going out of doors. 81 wish they'd
hurry up!" he added mysteriously
| He kept close watch upon his shop
door. 1t was evident that he expected
callers.
Not long afterward a crowd began
to gather In front of Mr.. Frogs door.
"Back Soon" said the sign upon 1t.
And the thinly clad, shivering knot of
field folk sat themselves down unhap-
PLY and waited for the tailor to ap-
pear. Every one of them wanted a
warm new overcoat. for each expected
to be out late that night.
Meanwhile Mr.. Frog watched them
and giggled as loud as he dared. II
| was Mr.. Crows committee that
thronged about his door-the people
who were expecting to call upon Kid

vite him to join the Pleasant Valley

CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
BRIDES AND MIRRORS
By II. IRWIN q KING

THERE is an old superstition, still
= much in vogue, that bride should
not look In the mirror after complet-
ing her toilet; that is, that after
leaving the mirror at which she has
dressed for her marriage she should
add some article for her toilet-a glove
or q ribbon perhaps.
This is a survival of the manner In
which the ancients regarded their
own reflected image which was as
part of their spiritual self-their soul,
or at least their external SOUL" Some
savage races so regard their retiec-
lions today. The shadow Of a man and
a mans reflection had to the primitive
man a like relation to the man him.
self. They partook of the nature of
what the modern "Theosophists" call
a mans "astral body"
This belief is at the base of the re-
iuctance of conservative savages, and
Of some old-fashioned civilized peo-
pie of a superstitious turn Of mind, to
shave their pictures taken'-of why
the breaking of bookings glass brings
death into the family. 1t Is an in
heritance from untold ages of the no
ton that "the soul goes out of the
body with the reflection" as one
writer puts it. Now the bride, having
partially dressed herself before her
glass turns away and completes her
attire The reflection of herself par
TALLY attired has vanished-been
drawn back safely into herself. Fully
attired she must not venture another
projection Of her exterior soul, her as
trail body, lest some accident should
happen to 1t which might react upon
herself causing death or disaster in
the near future. And brides upon
their wedding day, like very young
children, have always been regarded
as particularly susceptible to the in
fiuence of "black magic"

lUnAL u YMNASIUM
AT PENNSYLVANIA
Will Have Basket Ball Court
Seating 10000.

A new gymnasium with basket
bali court seating 10000 sp ,ctators is
planned by the council on g. hletics Of
the University of Pennsylvania. Bids
will shortly be asked and work start
ed early in the spring on what should
prove to be one of the finest structures
of its type in the United States.
The basket bali court will be in the
form of an indoor stadium, which II
unique for this section of the country
Ramps, such as are used in the stadis
of the country, form a feature of the
seating arrangements. Spectators will
enter the center of the different sec
tons Of the stands and so either up OF
down to their seats, thus insuring q
facility of movement with crowds of
spectators.
The arrangements of the seats per-
nit their removal so that when regu-
lar gs,Asss sra sot being played. four
praetiSs asssi ssall courts wifi be
avar553sstss same time In addt
ton 10 the basket ball practice courts,
sufficient space will remain for an in,
door baseball cage, something loaa
needed at Pennsylvania.
In addition to the arrangements for
basket ball., the plans include seat.
ing capacity of 1900 around the swim
ming pool. For the past few years
| Weightman hall has been inadequate
for both basket ball and swimming
crowds. With the new seating plans,
maximum crowds can be easily accom-.
modated for all indoor sports.
Rooms are also provided in the new
gymnasium for boxing, wrestling and
other indoor sports. Showers and
lockers are provided for every student
in the university.
In the new building will be the
offices of the department Of physical
education and correctional rooms with
complete apparatus to aid any student
needing correctional attention.
All the most modern appliances for
physical education will be installed in
the new building, giving the students
of the university every opportunity to
| fit themselves physically for their life
after graduation.
Included in the new plans are pro-
visions for new offices for the council
on athletics, which will be installed in
the north end OF the present gymna.
SUM building.
Weightman hall, the present gym
nasium, will not be torn down, but will
be used for certain indoor sports, for
the housing of the numerous athletic
trophies won by teams representing
the, university in the past.
The south end Of Weightman hall
win be altered into additional office
space for the department of physical
education, which will have its main
office in the new gymnasium.
1t Is expected that the new gymna.
sium win be completed in time for the
1926-27 basket bah season.

Chickens that are crate fattened on

who buy poultry and fatten it, object
to poultry fattened in this way, as
they prefer to put the finish on the
birds themselves. Birds that are fed
on wet mash do not ship so well as
