Harvard Journalists

Some Harvard Journalism, express
ed editorially several years ago in
the Crimson, school paper, played a
part In the severance OF football re-
lations with Princeton. Now, an
editorial in the Crimson can see no
reason for a football game between
Harvard and Army because Of AN
absence Of interests common to HaE-
ward men and the U. S. Military
Academy
Perhaps II the Crimson tried hard
enough. 1t could find an utter lack
OF reasons for Harvard playing any
body at all.
1t Is easy to understand the Grim
O when 1t says the Army eligibility
rule. under which a cadet who has
PLAYED three years Of football at an
other college may still play for
Army, is a point against the game.
But that absence Of interests is
something else again. What do you
make Of it, my dear Watson?
Football Politics
At a great many colleges and uni
versities dad" Is regarded as the
bane of athletics. Dad Is the fellow
who played football for dear old
Oglewash in 1901 and who insists
that his son should have a place on
the team, even though football may
not be the boys game.
The writer, visiting recently at a
large eastern school, took some pains
to look up the status Of the squad,
with a view to finding out about
the dads. Three inferior football
players at the college had earned
their letters simply because their
dads had raised particular havoc
with the graduate manager. These
dads happened 70 be wealthy and
influential and were the donors Of
large gifts to the school.

MOUNTAINEERS
HAVE RECORD
Locals To Get Hardest Test
In Two Years Al
San Antonio

The j. c. Scorpions and Browns
vile high Eagles are bearing down
in preparation for games Thursday
and Friday.
The Screaming Eagles will test
their claws and wings against the
Tigers at Mercedes at 3:l5 p. M.
Thursday, and the Scorps will get
a severe test at San Antonio Fri
day night, colliding with the
Schreiner Institute Mountaineers.
The Eagles reached their peak
against Corpus Christi last week,
but they will have TO remain in high
gear TO puncture the tough Mer-
cedes line. The Tigers have little
in the way Of offense, but they
present a problem to any attack.
The Schreiner game is probably
the toughest assignment the Valley
college team has drawn in two
years. The Mountaineers always
have the best prep school eleven IN
the state. They make a regular
practice OF beating conference fresh
men and smaller college clubs. This
year they hold a victory over Sam
Houston. leader in the T. I. A. A.
race.
Strong Record
In seven years, the M~ountaineers
have lost only eight games. They
we're uhdefeated in 1926 and 1923
and it is a well known fact that
Schriener does not Sidestep the
tough ones-although they did not

CHAPTER So

For a moment Connie stood
GREATNESS and poised in the
darkness of her room, strain
trg her ears to catch any faint
traces of wisps of sound from
outside. Someone, definitely,
was there.
Whether she actually heard,
or perchance sensed a move
ment was not clear. Her
thoughts, security, went to
Duke Carson; if she could but
communicate with him, now and
surreptitiously, she would feel
an immense safety.
Jim Tracy, as far as any
assistance went, was totally out
of her mind. Only Carson, Of
all under the roof, could
possibly cope with a. prowler;
the uncanny conviction that
evil was astir in the house
grew swiftly in her conscious
ness. A burglar, a thief, with
cautious footsteps.
Her own movements were
silent and CHASTITY. With a
clutching in her breast she
glided to her door and put her
hand on the knob. Despite her
care, there was a faint grating
sound against the stiffness.
once more, rapidly, came a thin
swishing from outside. 1nvolun-
tarily and with a sudden reck-
lessnesS Connie flung open her
door and thrust her head out.
The light in the hall was dim;
her first glance showed nothing
and she turned her head the
other way-to the left-just in
time to see disappearing in
the angle of the wall some
form so fleetingly glimpsed
that it was no more than a
mere flicker Of vision.
Ill at Ease
The sudden, violent beating
of her heart checked, stifled her
breathing; sharp impatience
amounting to anger swept over
her with hot, vigorous tide
They mystery stunned her re-
sentiment, blotted out in one
burst of provoked daring the
last of her hesitation. Stepping
out into the hall, her first
thought was to knock on Gar
sons door; yet curiosity was
stronger. Moving quickly, she
advanced to the spot where the
vague form had disappeared.

HEALTH AND
DIET
Logan CIendening-

An attack Of gladstone collie
is one of the most terrible ex-
periences a human being can
go through. A stone wanders
out of the gall bladder and be-
gins to engage in the duct, re-
sulting in spasm Of the gall
bladder muscles, distenticn Of
the gall bladder and an agoniz-
ing pain over the lower border
of the right ribs. When several
attacks come in succession, the
general health suffers accord
ingly.
Few Object to Operations
Few people who have genuine
attacks of gladstone collie object
to a surgical operation for their
removal.
Such severe cases as that lust
described, however, are rare
signs of gladstone or of gall blad-
der disease. Sometimes there is
just mild pain like a neuritis or
a dull ache. A curious feature
is that the pain is often con-
fined to the region of the right
shoulder blade. Such shoulder
pains are often diagnosed arthrt-
tis or neuritis.
JaundiCe, the staining Of the
skin when bile gets into the
blood. IS caused in many cases
by gallstones or gall bladder
disease. 1t does not always
mean gallstoneS, nor do all peo-
pie with gallstones have it. But
small gallstones may prevent
the bile from entering the in
,testine and force it to enter the
blood stream. The jaundice of
gladstone disease may be very
fleeting.
Among the SYMPTOMS
Chronic forms of dyspepsia
may be the only indications
of gall bladder diseases. There
may be SYMPTOMS very much
like ulcer of the duodenum-
discomfort and caking in the
pit of the stomach relieved by
food. The gall bladder lies
close to the duodenum and in
flammation in the gall bladder
may spread to the duodenum.

TIGER HEART

Swiftly retracing her steps, she
went back down the hall and
stopped in front of GarSon's
door. If possible, she wanted
to arouse him without waking
anyone else. If she raped, in
the stiffness of the night, the
sound, she feared, would reach
the others sleeping. A con-
tempt for convention, for mock
modesty, under circumstances
such as these, gave her deter
mil alton to try his door. 1t

O. a second she hesitc led and
then, resolutely, opened it mar
rowly and slipped inside, closing
it softly behind her. In this
inner darkness she saw only the
dim, bulking lines Of the rooms
furnishings. In the midst Of the
darkne her voice reached out
in whisper.
"Duke!"

go to strictly formal affairs,
a dress of that type would be
the most practical one for me.
Some of the girls are planning
to wear evening dresses. Which
is proper? M. Q.
I agree with you that this
type of dress is a very con-
venient one to own, especially
if the parties that you attend
are not of strictly formal type.
Of course, this type Of dress,
too-the so-called Sunday eve
ming dress-can vary exceed
ingly, and so you would have
to plan yours to lean toward
the informal type rather than
to the formal, or to the home"
or Hostess" type. Be especially
careful about the informal1ty
of the neckline, and about at
least the suggestion Of sleeves.
And, of course, don't have 1t
with a train, as are so many
of the "hoStess" gowns. The
fashions this year, however, are
very gracious toward this type
of dress, and so you will be
able to find just what you WILL
find most appropriate for your
use, I am sure.
Very practical and charming
is the type of dress that Is
designed with a jacket COM
pleted by short sleeves. Worn
with the jacket the dress is
appropriate for Sunday night
occasions, late afternoon parties,
semi-informal dinner parties,
etc. And often the dress be-
meath the jacket is cut low in
back to provide an interesting
formal gown when the occa-
sion necessitates. It is obvious
that this one dress may do
duty for almost any type OF
social function. that one may
wish to attend. And the new
shades-the rich burgundy reds,
if you can wear them, and
the new, interesting dark olive
greens and tans or beiges-
are very friendly, too, for this
type of dress. Black is, Of
course, in perennial good taste.
If the men are to wear
business suits at the dance, it
would certainly be most out of
order and out of keeping for
the girls to wear evening dress.
The dress plan that you have
is far better. Can't the men
be prevailed upon to wear
dinner Jackets?
The Washington times., 1931-02-04

Nothingness confronted her. No
one was there.
Whoever disappeared had two
choices; without being seen
where Connie originally stood,
he could have slipped down to
the main staircase to the top
floor where there we're several
unfurnished rooms and the two
rooms occupied separately by
Mary Smith, the maid, and Mrs.
Lahey, the cook. This upward
climb, however, would have ne
cessitated the opening of a door
at the top of the flight. Con-
ME heard no such sound.
Standing perfectly still, Con-
ME bit her lower lip and
frownci; no, her imagination
had not deceived her-she had
actually glimpsed a skulking
figure.

know no girls who are ac-
quainted with this boy, or his
boy friends, and my problem
is how can I see him again
and chum more with friends
who live in the old neighbor-
hood. LILLIAN.
It isn't necessary for you to
know the boys girl friends in
order to give a little party and
have those old friends meet
some of the girls in your present
neighborhood. Ask your mother
If you may have a little party
and invite the young druggist
next time you see him, or send
out little notes; three or four
couples will be plenty. Then
either play cards, roll back the
rugs, turn on the victrola and
dance, or arrange to go to a
m OWE afterwards. If your
mother thinks the party will be
too inconvenient, invite the old
friend to Sunday night supper.
A little hospitality is the most
gracious way to welcome back
old friends.
