versity Saturday night.
The HilltopperS received a rude
jolt Saturday from Gettysburg
when they went down to a 1858
defeat to the Pennsylvania quin,
tet in their inaugural. The Blue
and Gray were miserable during
the first half, trailing at one time
by 10 points, and when the inter
mission came they were Is points
in arrears.
Despite their brilliant comeback
in the after period they couldn't
quite make up the huge deficit
Capt. Maurice Mccarthy and
Freddy Mesmer gave sterling eX
hibitions of all-around play for
the Blue and Gray machine, but
even their individual brilliance
wasn't sufficient to turn the
scale.
Coach Bill Dudack will set to
work today with his machine to
polish up the passing, which was
particularly ragged, and also will
order his squad to practice foul
shooting. Enough tries from the
charity line were missed to have
won the game.
With his squad now cut to Is
players, Coach Fred Rice at
Catholic U. will spend the bal
ance of the week selecting a first
string combination. The Cardi
mails do not get into action until
next week.
Athletic Director Pixlee is still

Words seem to be the weakest
medium through which children
can learn ethics of any sort.
What they see grown-ups do, and
particularly parents who are
ideals and somewhat of idols,
counts for so much more. So in
these warm days which invite
excursions into the country and
picnics by the brooks and streams
or on the mountain side, there
lies a big opportunity to show
children what NOT to do by re.
framing from doing those things
ourselves.
Recently a small boy got a
severe scolding and an afternoon
of confinement indoors for ruin
ing a few tulips belonging to
neighbor. Subsequently, saw
him with his parents in the fam
lily car returning from day in
the woods, the car loaded and
oyerflOwing with branches Of dog
wood, apple blossoms and hope
less looking punches of wilted
wild flowers. The mothers fuss
over the tulips seemed fearfully
inconsistent in the face of her
vandalism of the countryside.
The only difference was that
M individual had nIanfed the
tulips in a small garden while
the dog wood grew wild, in great
beautiful splashes on the hill.

EoR three things the earth Is
II disquieted, wrote solomon the
Wise, and for four which it can
not bear.
You may look up this list for
: yourself in the thirteenth chapter
Of Proverbs. 1t Is good reading
and informative and IL followed
by another list Of four things
which are little upon the earth
but exceeding wise" and by still
another which "so well. yea are
comely in going"
think that to the number Of
things which disquiet and burden
the earth the writer Of proverbs
might have added a fifth; the
middle-aged lady with a giggle.
She usually is-well, to be kind
ly, plump-this giggIer, and full
of cunning little ways. No kitten
chasing a ball Of yarn knows
more tricks.
She is arch, she Is coy-ghe
talks baby talk as like as not.
And she giggles.
Why? Because she is afraid!
Poor creature-she Is pitiable,
no matter how irritating-th
woman Is afraid to look life in
the face. She is afraid to take
one good long honest look into
her mirror; she is afraid to look
with honesty into the eyes of her
husband and her friends and her
acquaintances.
She is afraid that II she does
this she will know that they
know what she Is trying so hard
to keep secret-that she is middle
aged!
There Is no disgrace about mid
die age. 1t should be-ani in
deed may be-the best Of life.
Youth is the time OF promise, of
the folded bud on the stem, but
ripper years form the day of the
open flower when promise is full
filled in the beauty of maturity.
1t is touched by the rich calm Of.
experience, mellowed by tolerance.
fragrant with unselfish love.
Only the woman Of poor judg-
ment refuses this, seeks to thwart
it by apeing the dress and man
ners of little girls.
Only the woman who has failed
to make the most of womanhood
is afraid OF middle age-and tries
to hide fear behind giggle.

"The story begins thus: When
