Getting Up in the Morning

Most people use an alarm clock
to get them up in the morning but
anything could go wrong with a
clock; the clock might not be
wound, the alarm might not be set,
the alarm might not be wound, or
the clock might stop. ] believe
that the manner by which / am
awakened is much more effective.
About fifteen minutes of seven
either my mother or father will
tap on the steam pipe, which runs
through the dining room and con-
meets to the radiator in my room.
with a small hammer or back of a
knife. These taps are usually not
very loud and are rather slow. At
about seven o'clock the taps will
come again only louder and faster.
at about fifteen minutes after thew
change from taps 20 hammering.
BY that time you feel sorry for the
poor pipe and get up. 1 don't mind
getting up on the third tap but if
they start playing "The Star Span
gled Banner" it would be bad
jumping right out of bed and
standing for about five minutes on
these cold days.

Hair

Besides being ornamental, hair
may be indication of intelligence.
Some people are often judged by
the quality, the color, and the cut
of their hair; for example, per-
son with fiery red hair is supposed
to possess a violent temper; like
wise the girl with slick, straight,
black hair. Then there is the
curley barred blonde, a girl Of a
sweet, even disposition.
Very little can be said of boys
hair. Some boys and men have
hair cut one way; some, another.
Men with bald heads boast intelli-
gence; likewise men having very
pronounced widows peaks" There
are so very many hair cuts for
boys that little can be said of any
individual; however there is one
cut which is worn by men of all
sorts, the almost completely shay
en- head-convict style. Some men
are too lazy to comb their hair so
they cut it off; some men prefer
the comfort and the GOODNESS so
they cut it off; some desire the
hair which grows back because of
its thickness and quality, so-they
cut it off; some men can find no
other way to look hideous and tor
ture their associates so-they cut
their hair off.

Testing a Thermometer

An incubator in order to be sue

mometer. Knowing this I tried to
test my thermometer by putting it,
together with a clinical thermom-
-eter and COW thermometer, in the
incubator. After several adjust
ments and Investigations I found
that no two were alike and that
once one would be high and next it
would be low. / tried testing all
three by putting them in my
mouth and found that each regis
tered 98.6. 1 not only found that
the thermometers were correct but

Sunday at home: a leisurely

ing the newspaper and listening to
the radio. Some Sundays at home
vary. Often put on old clothes,
and straighten my closet and
drawers. The most interesting
point Of the matter is the old
clothes. l have knack for put
ting on queer combinations. For
example: an old sweat-shirt, a pair
of slacks, and tennis shoes. This
is unusual for an outfit around the
house. The pathetic part is that
everytime I'm clad in such odd
style, someone is certain to drop in
to see me. remember one Sun
day when / was dressed in a smock
and pair of dirty white shoes. /
was engaged in the making of bis
cults, which I knew no one would
eat. My hands were covered with
dough. AS usual, the doorbell
rang.
Other Sundays / get up and say
to myself, Someone will surely
call today" With this thought in
mind I dress very carefully in my
finest clothes. i apply makeup
with great care. Then I spend the
afternoon reading book or play
ing the piano, sitting very stiffly
SO that my dress may not wrinkle.
