Good evening.
 o-O-O THE REPORTERS ENVOI
"A SMILES THE THING"

Good evening.
 O-O-O THE REPORTERS ENVOI When earth's last picture is printed. and the forms and the metal are cold, When the newest scandal is ancient. and the latest extra is sold. We shall loaf-and Lord, how we need it!-with nothing at all to do, Till the Boss of the Perfect Paper shall call us to work anew. And then we shall work as we'd like to, each on his own machine; And the truth shall be in our copy. and nothing shall intervene. We shall write real stories about them - beggar and millionaire For an editor keen and fearless, paper that's on the square. We shall work in a rush and a hurry, for that is the Goodly Game, And we shall not dig in the gutter for stories of filth and shame: And the eopy-readers above us shall leave our features alone, And the stories that fill the columns we shall recognize as our owni We shall have no fool assignments, no cruel missions of pain. To torture the broken-h hearted, or blacken the sinners stain; We shall scoop and be scooped aplenty. we shall love the furry and noise. We shall fight with the business office, and fuss with the copy boys; But each of us shall be human. and each of us shall be free To write the thing as he sees it for the Paper That Ought to Be.
 -Berton Braley.

KEEP SMILING

KEEP SMILING Life has its ups,
 Its downs, I'll say, But the downs seem coming, My humble way.
 o-O-o Sometimes what appear to be rocks are merely the stepping stones to success.
 o-O-o
 Politicians make strange bed fellows and sometimes bunk.
 o-O-o The republicans here are plan- ming an intensive campaign of two weeks. Why not make it Elinor Glynish, Three Weeks"
 o-O-o Two weeks is enough for any campaign, republican or democrat. As a matter of fact it's two weeks too much.
 o-O-o I believe every campaign should be confined to one speech, de- livered in silence and held from publication.

YORK, Dec. 5. U.P)-TennesSe Un-
lversity's football team displayed It's
powerful offensive and defense
system today for the benefit Of
charity, defeating New York Uni
yersity l3 10 0.
The southerners came here with
Gene McEver as their great scor-
ing thre but it was three others
who flashed brilliantly for the VOL
unteers.
The laurels go TO Herman Hck-
man. the 22o-pound guard. His dead
" tackling and great line play made
the game at times seem to be NYU
against Hickman. Once he was
hurt but he doggedly continued in
the game to muss up the intricate
New York plays.
Both of the Tennessee touchdownS
came in the second quarter and
both were brilliant. Shortly after
the period opened Feathers shot off
through the line, squirmed his way
to freedom and raced SO yards for
a touchdown. McEver plunged
over for the extra point.
Then a few minutes later Brac-
kett took a NYU punt and dashed
75-yardS for a touchdown. The ex-
ira point failed.

NEW CHEVROLET MODEL MAKES
ITS APPEARANCE HERE TO-DAY

ders. radiators and headlamps are
carried on a single fender support
unit, which is anchored at the CEN
ter of the front cross member of the
frame. thus eliminating the annoy
ing weave as well as the possibility
of squeaks at points of stress.
New Features Offered
The radiator is entirely new in
design and construction.
Front tenders have deeper
crown and skirts. Headlamps are
parabolic shaped and are mounted
on the tie-bar, as is the new trum-
pet-shaped horn.
Cowl lamps are standard with all
sport models. These lamps contain
prisms which reflect the glare of
an approaching headlamp and af-
ford protection for the car in the
event the driver forgets to light the
parking lamps.
The windshields of all models are
slanted at proper angle, With
the elimination of the outside sun
visor, its function is performed by
an internal visor adjustable TO any
position and affording greater pro-
lection than the old fixed external
visor. All who have driven against
the sun will appreciate it.
Doors extend through the body
sills instead of only to the top. Tire
sizes are now 5.25-l8 compared with
4.75-19 last year. In the rear are
the combination tail and stop light,
the safety gas tank away from the
engine, with the BATTLE plate added
TO prevent flickering of the dash
gauge.
Body exteriors bring n new con-
ception Of luxury to the low priced
field. Mohair or broadcloth up
holstery is now optional with all
models: hardware is newly designed
and improved such fine car fea-
lures as silk assist cords, robe rails.

seat; dome light; side ash recepta-
Gle are standard with various models

The instrument panel is beau-
titled by the symmetrical grouping
of the several new instruments. The
free wheeling control button is To-
Gated just TO the left of the steer
ing column. A heat control but
ton is added to this center panel
All closed models have a finger

may be made while the seat is oc-
