Thrills, Mystery, Romance" Last
Chance to see The Trysting Place."
IAN All-Star Cast''-these were some
of the headlines of the posters which
cause great excitement among the
students Friday. "The Trysting Place"
by Booth Harrington was presented
by our seniors to the high school
students, the faculty, and the eighth
grade in the assembly. 1t furnished
great entertainment for the audience
and was also very educational as 1t
gave some fundamental points on love.
The cast consisted of Hazel Clegg
as Mrs. Curtiss, the young magnetic
widow; Leonard Frahs as Henry IN
goldsby, an eccentric old bachelor;
Eline Clausen as Jessie Briggs, a
young beautiful girl; Kaj Simonsgaard
as Rupert Smith sutton to Jessie;
Esther Lindegaard as Mrs. Briggs
Jessie's modern mother; Edwin Soren.
sen as Launcelot Briggs, an ardent
young man; and Viggo Miller as the
Mysterious Voice." All of the stu
dents did very we'll in the portrayal
of the roles.

The high school and grade faculties.
sophomores, juniors and seniors were
invited to a party given by the fresh
men Friday evening in the assembly.
Games were played and generous
lunch was served. Red and white
prevailed, the decorations being in
these two colors. The lunch consisted
of white cake and cookies, fruit nee
tar and jello. We all take this OPP
portunity to thank the freshmen for
their efforts to make the party sue
cess-and it was!
The chemistry class has decided
that it would like to have gas mask
invented for their private use in the
laboratory. They complain of dis
agreeable odors-but why should they?
They are the ones who are producing
the offensive odOrs.
The honor roll for the second six
weeks period are as follows: fresh
men, Ellen Smidt, Ruth Hansen, Edith
Hansen, and Thyra Henriksen; sopho-
mores, Gladys Olsen, Alma Olesen,
Arthur Clausen, and Herman Christ
ensen; juniors, Margaret Hansen, Dag
mar Gravesen, and Verna Ecklund;
and seniors, Edwin Sorensen, Kathrine
Arnbal and Clara FOgt.
Another issue Of the ''News-Sense'
came out Monday. The freshmen
were the editors of this edition. Their
faces seemed rather anxious but their
fears were dispersed when they saw
the students endorse their work with
smiles and congratulations for their
good work.

DEVICES FOR
SAFETY CAUSE
New 1880 Chevrolet Has
Many Features To
Lessen Mishaps

Evidence OF the manner in which
the automobile manufacturer Is
furthering the cause OF safety by
eliminating the hazard OF mechan-
ical mishaps is shown by the many
safety features incorporated in the
new 1880 Chevrolet.
Notable among the safety devices
In the car are the Chevrolet-de-
signed internal brakes which are
new IN their field. Many a motorist
has had the %unnerving experience
of descending a long mountain grade
to find his brakes becoming less
effective the farther he descends-
a failure known technically as
'fadeout" and due TO heat gener-
ated between the brake and drum
which warps the shoe and lessons
the contact OF the brake lining with
the drum. The hotter the brakes
got. the less efficient they became.
Tests on the General Motors prov
ing ground show that fadeout has
heen eliminated in the New Chew
rolet brake BY a method Of CON
struction known as the "articulated
shoe type" which compensates' for
heat distortion. and I'M

FORD USE OF
POWER HIGH
New Record for 1929 Sci
By Amount Consumed
BY Many Plants

Nineteen hundred and twenty
nine was one Of the busiest and
most important years in the his
tory OF the Ford Motor Company,
but in no way was this expressed
more graphically than in the
amount Of power generated and
consumed for its operations in the
Detroit area. This does not include
Iron Mountain, Hamilton, Green
Island. or the many other plants
outside the Detroit area.
The total power requirements
during the year were 702,2l0.278
k.lowatt hours. The net output Of
the New York City central station
in electrical energy was only six
times that used by the Ford plants.
The 1929 output was nearly three
times greater than that OF 1923.
The amount Of fuel consumed by
the three houses in the Rouge
plant exceeded that Of 1928 BY
approximately 140, 900 tons. The
total was T79.278 tons. the equivalent
OF 10000 ordinary 50-ton carloads,
making up n train 100 miles long.
The total amount Of steam gen.
Grated was 1854 $4,000 pounds. OF
which about one-third was used for
process work and heating, the re-
mainder for power generation. All
Of this except about two billion
pounds was produced at No. !

 Because of it's thorough distribu- ton, you will find Feen-a-mint effec- tive in mIlder doses than ordinary laxatiyes.
