LITTLE BENNY
By LEE PAPE.

was wawking home for supper with
partly buddy nose and pop cawt up
with me, saying, What's all this, why
all the bludshed in these days of dis
armerment?
Skinny Martin puntched me in the
nose, said.
without cause or provocation? pop
said, and said, No sir, called him Il
big bean pole.
That was quite wrong Of you, or at
least very mwise as the condition OK
said, But he is big bean pole.
No doubt the assertion has some fiZ-
biological basis, but still insist that you
were wrong and unwise to make 1t,
pop said. Nothing in nature can sur
vive without learning to adapt itself to
it's environment. Take the wild beasts
IN the jungles. They soon learn wich
animals they can attack with safety,
and govern themselves accordingly.
They jump across narrow bitches, but
they wisely wawk around wide ones.
They adapt themselves, in other werds,
to their environment. And it's the
same way with man even today. His
life may not depend any longer on the
way he adjusts himself to his environ
ment, but his comfort certeny does.
And the Martin boy is too big and fierce
an animal for you to attack, and he's
too wide a ditch for you to jump, SO
you should of wawked around him il
dignified silence to be perfeckly adjust
ed to your environment. Do you follow
me? pop said.
Yes, sir, G wizzickers the next time
I see him I'm going to call him a half
starved skeleton and a bubble iointed
giraffe. and If he don't like it he can
lump it, I said, and pop said. Yee gods
lern since the dawn of histery and will
proberly stew in his own ignorants till
the end of time, he said.
And we went in to supper, being lam
stew without dumplings.

If the range is wiped care
fully with brown paper after
cooking greasy food. it can be
kept bright with little difficulty.
This Is an easy way to make
frosting for cake. Purchase
quarter pound of large chocolate
creams at the confectioner's. put
them in a double boiler and, as
they melt, add hot milk, a table
spoonful at a time, until the
mixture is of the right consist
ency to spread.
Wash chiffons in a soap solu-
ton. No rubbing will be re-
quired, just rinsing up and down.
Don't have the water too hot.
Never turn boiled puddings out
of the pan the moment they are
taken from the fire. They are
very liable to break If this is
done. Let them stand for few
minutes until some of the steam
has evaporated and you will find
that they will turn out easily.
When boiling fowls or fish add
to the water the juice of half a
lemon. This will make them

End of Happy Ending.
Time was, when hero of fiction
Set forth on the road to success,
Full many a year of his early career
Was filled with the direst distress.
He was driven to back-breaking labor
He fell prey to the villains low
schemes,
Base, inhuman foes all around him arose
To battle his happy young dreams.
But you always were sure that the
end of the story
Would find him surrounded by riches
and glory.
But today you are morally certain
That the hero will lead hard life.
On page twenty his pal will elope with
the gal
That he hoped would in time be his
wife.
On page fifty he'll lose all his money,
And you'll learn, at the end OF the
tale,
THAT he's either at work as a grocery
clerk
Or serving sentence in jail.
His one-time toplofty and confident air
Replaced by the meanings OF utter
despair.
No chance to appear between covers
Have the roseate visions of youth;
The novelists feel that they needs must

''To Pay the Piper While Others

ITO pay the piper while others call
the tune"-to bear the expense or loss
Of something from which others derive
the pleasure or benefit. There is, too,
in this phrase the implication Of play
ing this profitless role under orders. A
reader asks its origin.
Ever since the thirteenth century leg
end of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, with
which Robert Browning's poem has IA
miliarized the world, paying the piper"
has been part of every day speech. A
familiar use of it that is over 200 years
old is in Congreve's play. Love for
Love-" dating 1895. This particular
adaptation, ITO pay the piper while
others call the tune" goes back to 1851,
in number 90 of the 'Heraclitus
Ridens," by T. Flatman. Still earlier,
Moliere in La Comtesse d. Escarbag-

Race South High
Student Awarded
Dramatic Honor
PREJUDICED JUDGE DID
NOT KNOW YOUTHS
NATIONALITY

Louis Mason, eldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Louis Mason of Elliot Avenue,
won first place for his exceptionally
fine dramatic performance at South
High School, Thursday night.
The class in dramatics has fol-
lowed the practice since 1927 of pick
ing students from the class each sea-
son who have shown more than ordi-
nary ability in their Interpretation
of the plays in which they took part.
Thursday night four plays were
presented, one of which was a Rus
sian sketch in which Louis Mason re-
vealed remarkable talent. His per-
Torrance was equal to that of a sea-
soned actor. Applause followed his
act, but the real thrill came when the
Judge announced that the first place
for individual performance was won
by Louis Mason.
But the next day brought, disillu-
sionment for the young man. While
being congratulated by his director
he was approached by the Judge of
the night before who told him had
he known that Louis was Colored
boy he would never have awarded
him first place. This American gen.
tleman comes from the University of
Wisconsin and at one time taught
dramatics at South High. Louis
fellow students and teachers were
quite indignant over the attitude and
obvious prejudice of the Judge.
Nevertheless Louis name will go on
the cup which will be on display at
the school.
Louis enters the University of
Minnesota in the fall. He has made
splendid record at South High in
all branches.

By Police Ends
In Death Of Man
DEATH DUE TO POLICE BRUTAL
ITY FRIENDS CLAIM

Relatives of Ernie Fowler, who died
while confined in the city workhouse,
have arrived in the city to claim the
remains. Friends of Fowler claim
his death was largely due to brutal
treatment by arresting police officers.
Fowler's jaw was broken and he sus-
tanned other injuries when he was ar
rested by the police several weeks
ago.
Fowler with four white men and
white woman were drinking on the
back stairs of church located in the
Washington Ave. S. district. AS po-
lice approached the four white men
ran leaving Fowler and the woman
alone. Fowler told his friends that
the police Immediately began to beat
him numerically. He and the woman
were arrested and charges of dis
orderly conduct were placed against
the two. Because of his previous
record Fowler was sentenced to 90
days in the workhouse after munich
pal court judge heard the testimony
of Fowler and the officers.
Fowler was in such poor condition
as result of the beating that he
had to be brought in from the work
house to the city hospital for treat
ment Conflicting reports as to the
cause of his death are rife in circles
where the man was known.
