Political Parties

In American History we have
made an interesting comparison
and study of some of the first po-
litical parties. The first of these
parties was started at the end of
George Washington's second ad-
ministration and was known as the
Federalist Party, which was in
favor of a strong, central govern
ment. This government was to be
carried on by chosen few. AL
though it was powerful for several
years, the Feleralists soon lost con-
troll of the government.
Next, the Republican party,
which is not the same as that of
today, came into power. This one
was in favor of state governments
with the government carried on by
all of the people.
There have been many new part
les since these first ones. Some Of

Plans Made at Washington to

as Much as Possible
BETTER INSTITUTIONS

Washington.-NO longer are zoo
animals to pad around in cold, bleak
paddocks and even drearier cages.
In many parts of the world Zoologi-
cal parks are being made increas-
ingly cOlOrful, and, what is more
important, more comfortable for
their guests.
A bulletin from the National Geo
graphic society summarizes some
of the amazing changes that have
recently been made in these popu-
lar, educational institutions.
"The Province of Quebec's new
collection of Canadian birds and
wild animals revels in a distinct

bulletin. "The geological gardens

"Outstanding among model zoo

Animals owe vote of thanks to
the Hagenbecks, who were the first
to take them out of barred cages
and from behind high fences and
release them for exhibition in nat
Hral surroundings. In this animal
paradise, lions, bears, and other
carnivOra roam freely on steppes,
separated from the public only by
yawning mOats. Since the opening
of this experimental garden over a
quarter of century ago. other ZOOS
have removed many of their bars.

also keeps bears, great cats, and

Chewing Gum

Chewing gum is vulgar habit.
If a person wishes to engage in so
degrading a pastime, he should, for
the benefit of the rest of the world,
confine it to his home. To say the
least, this habit of chewing is un-
refined. One is placed in a definite
class-and that not so high-when
the habit of chewing in public is
formed. Good examples of this
class are the many people whom
you see chewing on crowded
street car or at a free-for-all dance.
The disposal of gum is also a
very important and unsolved prob
lem. Persons who chew gum
throw it upon the street and others
passing by step on it and carry it
home. Many diseases are spread
this way as gum collects germs. A
very unmannerly act is sticking
gum on chairs or tables where
other people can see it or come in
contact with it.
Then too, often times gum is
swallowed by mistake. This may
cause a serious gastric disturbance.
I, for my part, would never al
low anyone the right to appear in
public with chewing gum in his
possession.

Advice to Flower Lovers

Wouldn't it be nice to have
blooming flowers for Christmas, If
you are a flower lover, as / am, I'm
sure you would like them. Paper
white narcissus, tulips and hy-
acinths are among the most desir-
able and easily grown flowers dur
ing the winter months. All one
needs is e. low flower bowl filled
with pebbles and water, and the
bulbs planted in it in nice ar
rangement.
What a thrill you will have to
see the first green tips of the leaves
pushing out of the bulbs. You
should keep the bulbs in a cool,
dark place until the leaves are
about four inches tall. Then place
them in the warm sunshine and the
buds will soon appear.
BY Christmas they should be in
fun bloom. A bowl Of bright-col-

"Conceit is to the human body

What? You don't agreel Well,
1 diln't think you would. Besides
lit really doesn't matter. Everyone
is entitled to his own opinion.
However, I think that statement is
a very clever one. Each person, no
matter who, has something to be
conceited about. This might be
anything: very intelligent mind,
riches, good looks, even red hair.
Of course I'm not saying that I'm
conceited because of my red hairl
Am I? Well, come to think of it,
perhaps 1 am. What of it? You're
"a bit conceited yourself even
though you don't realize it.
What would anyone be without
it? Each and everyone of us would
acquire an inferiority complex.
Then where would we be? You
say, Living, as we always have"
All! That is where you are wrong.
We would not be the same as be-
fore. We wouldn't have that GER
tain thing that very often attracts
Perhaps our conceit wouldn't be
gossiped about But, how about
our seclusion, it would be much
talked about and we would very
likely be compared to the turtle
who draws himself into his shell.
Well, 1 don't intend to argue
further on this topic. Naturally, /
don't mean for everyone to become
so conceited that his friendship is
not wanted 1 merely think that it
would be good policy for every
one to read the few paragraphs in
the "Autocrat of the Breakfast
Table" which deal with conceit.

Rain

The currently popular song Isn't
1t a Lovely Day To Be Caught In
the Rain" makes me sneer bitter
ly. Whenever I have been unfor-
tunate enough to be caught in the
rain I've found no romance. On
the contrary, have always had to
gallop to shelter in the awkward
way I have of galloping. 1 see
nothing lovely about having rain
drops scattering down on me when
i have been caught unawares. I've
concluded, therefore, that it was
some maniac with a distorted sense
of humor who wrote that song.
However, I'm inclined to look
upon walking in the rain in less
skeptical manner, when I'm pre-
pared for it. At the shore this
summer, I ventured out into a very
windy and very rainy day, clad in
a storm-worthy coat and an old
hat. Immediately headed toward
the boardwalk, from which 1 had
planned to watch the ocean in its
turbulent mood. 1 walked briskly,
the wind, urging me along from be-
hind, made me walk twice as brisk
fy. I enjoyed watching the angry
ocean, snarling and growing and
leaping like an angry dog. 1t was
all pleasant until turned about to
return home. The obliging wind
which had aided me on my way
before, now turned enemy, whirling
and swishing my coat around my
legs in a very unfriendly manner.
1t blew the rain in my face and
tugged at my hat. Beating my
way against it, felt everything
but glorious and noble.
I'm most in favor, therefore, of
enjoying the rain from my bed.
Aside from the feeling Of security
it affords me, I derive from it a
very soothing influence which aids
me in thinking thoughts Of this and
that, as well as thoughts much
deeper, until I have fallen into a
peaceful sleep.
