G. u. SENIOR WINS
DEBATING MEDAL
Joseph E. Green Awarded Mer-
rick Trophy in Philodemic
Society Contest.

Georgetown's highest scholastic
honor was conferred last night on
Joseph E. Green, senior at the col
lege. who won the coveted Merrick de-
batting medal in a close competition
between members of the Philodemic
Society.
While Green was selected by the
judges as the best individual debater,
he was on the, losing side of the con-
test, which was decided in favor of
the team opposing the Swing j Johnson
bill for the construction of the Boulder
Canyon dam. The decision of the
judges in both instances was on a
two-to-one vote.
The members of the winning team
were F. Henry Van Ellis and j. Philip
Cahill, both of New York. Leo N
Mcguire of the District of Columbia
was Green's colleague on the affirma-
tive team.
The Merrick debate, the fifty-third
held at the college, took place in Gas
ton Hall before members of the facul-
ty and a large number of friends who
were interested in the keen scholastic
rivalry which the annual contest
evokes. The judges were Dr. John A
O'Donoghue, chairman; B. F. Saul and
William X. Wimsatt. John ID. O'Reilly
was presiding officer of the debate and
all the participants were members of
the senior class. Joseph A. Kozak of
7Pennsylvania was winner of the de-
! bate last year.
A., Music was furnished by the senior
quartet, with solos by Joseph Mullen,
tenor; Charles Bruins, saXophone, and
Francis K. Shumf n, leader of the
Georgetown Collegians.

Straight Bobbed Coiffures.

Dear Miss Leeds: Could you sug-
gest different way for me TO wear
my hair? l am so tired of getting
it marcelled. l wear It long enough
to cover my ears. with high side
part and a few bangs, 1t is very
thick and dark brown. My head IS
shaped right for shingla bob. 1t
seems so common to wear my hair
this way. Would you advise wind
blown bob? / have rather large fea-
lures and a low forehead.
BETTY BEE.
Answer-If you do not wish to wave
your hair, and if it is shingled behind,
you cannot wear the wind-blOwn bob
Here are three suggestions for straight
hair, however: % Brush your hair for
ward from Il point at the center of
the crown. making a long bang all
the way across your forehead. Try
to train the ends of the side hair tn
turn up little on your cheeks. 81
Brush your hair straight back from
your forehead. Bring one lock of hair
in front of each ear and train it to
turn up on Your cheekbone. Brush
the rest of the side hair back of the
ears and trim it. (3) Make a part from
ear to ear across the crown of your
head. Brush the front hair forward.
With the scissors cut the side hair
into three points that lie on the
cheeks, and cut the front hair into
five points in the manner of the Rag
gedy Ann bob.

I tell this story chiefly because it
shows the vast difference between the
comedy of a clowns appearance be-
fore the people and the trials and
tragedies of his private life. 1t does
us all good now and then TO become
aware that clowns. and such. are also
human like the rest of us. Clowns
even have cause for tears and weep
them without shame.
This buffoon was of a low class. and
an habitual drunkard. In his early
and better days he had made a good
salary. and if he had been careful and
prudent, he might have continued to
receive it for some years. But the
saloon had a fascination for him
which he could not resist. Finally
there came time when he could OBJ
tain no engagements. and he wanted

He was reduced to taking odd jobs
