tor of Philosophy this summer.
Harvard, another alma mater,

The new minister has been
president of the Alabama State
Society in Washington and has

q matter Of sound?
And now a little about Mrs.
Lawrence w. Cramer, whose
husband is the new governor OF
these restful Virgin Islands.
Mrs. Cramer is small and slim

enthusiastic about the islands.
During most of the time she has
spent on the islands, she has
worked with the natives.
On vacations in the States,
Mrs. Cramer has visited social

ing the island people. Mrs.
Cramer admits that the Virgin
Islands may be "the poorhouse
of the nation" at present, but
she sees no reason for their re-
naming so.

r The fellow who isn't in high
office has been known to criti-
CHE the big executive. But
have you heard what happened
to Bascom TimmonS?
A Mr.. Brown from New York
Is making plaques of the past
presidents of the National
Press Club. He begins his
process of plaster casting noble
Journalistic faces by smearing
, the faces with grease so the
casts will come off without
sticking.
In moulding Mr.. Timmons
face, Mr.. Brown did not use
enough fabrication. The cast
stuck on the high arch OF
Tins aristocratic nose and re-
fused to move voluntarily.
Tim was in an awful fix. He
couldn't go about with a plas-
ter nose added to the one he
had. The cast had to come
off.
Chisels and levers and other
mechanical devices were tried.
Finally Mr.. Brown just yanked
the mask off. And with 1t
four square inches of Tins
skin.
Tim is through with art for
ever.
