DON'T GET "OFF" THE AUTOMOBILE

killings and injuries leads some folks
to say that something will have to be
done about automobiles.
say that something will have to be
done about people.
Statistics gathered by The Travellers
Insurance Company show that in a
relatively small percentage OF accidents
is it the cars fault. A car is not to
blame if its owner has neglected its
brakes, lamps or tires-or if he drives
like wild Indian on a rampage.
A car is not to blame if its owner
abuses the power it gives him, regards
it as toy instead of a fine transporta-
ton instrument, or gets drunk on speed
instead of, practieing caution and dis
cretion and moderation when he takes
the wheel. -. = ,.zs

Halloween Festival
Held On Tuesday

The Halloween Festival held
on Harris School grounds Tuesday,
sponsored by the PIT. A.. was a
success both socially and fl
nancially. The witches cauldron
was a very attractive part of the
display and drew many who were
seeking their fortune. Lovely
prizes were the result of pulling
q string on the witches hat.
Delicious cakes, candies, ice
cream and cool drinks were
served.
The costume parade was the
main attraction of the afternoon
and it was indeed an enhancing
spectacle. Halloween specters,
children of all nations, roses, and
other unique costumes made the
parade a success.
The most completely represen-
tative costume was an Hawaiian
maiden. Amelia Boza looked 8
typical Hawaiian from her flower
bedecked head to her shoes en-
crusted with blossoms. This cos.
TUNED maid won a prize as well
as four others. Roy Rogers won
the boys prize for he was also
typically costumed as a Chinese,
The little pirate, Charles Wells.
Jr.. certainly looked the bold and
bad buccaneer as he walked off
with his prize. Sonya Albert rep.
resented the spirit of Halloween
to perfection, so was the recipient
of a prize also. Eloise Curry was
scarcely recognizable as a darky
and won the prize for being the
most comical.

Golf Divots
By Jimmy Lee

With the heat raging at 107 de-
grees one of our local golf bugs de-
cided that this was just the kind
of weather that he should have to
shoot his best golf of the season
and do the marathon act. I speak
of none other than one Johnny
Williams. Sunday morning out at
Hiawatha, he shot an 85-not con-
tent with this eighteen holes of
play, nor his score, he decides to
play Como in the afternoon where
he shot an "a. Some shooting in
that heat, I must confess. Close
on Johnny's heels was little Hezzy
(Runt) Allen shooting his usual
consistent game, "a the morning
round and Sc the evening. Well
it still is my belief that these two
fellows should be watched by al
of their opponents.
Tommy Donaldson playing 3
morning round out at Hiawaths
had an S9-not bad, Papa Thomas
considering the fact that you had
to spend the night before passing
out cigars.
James Murray shot an 80 also
out at Como. The boys have given
Mr.. Murray a new name-they are
calling him Bending spoon Muir
ray" They arrive at this name be-
cause Mr.. Murray is so fond of his
spoon, a club he uses quite often
and because his ball usually bends
way out or slices to the greens. Mr..
Murray can really control his slices
many times to his opponents

Jimmy Hughes "says" he had a
very good round Sunday morning.
Just what his score was, I can't say
when he saw me coming
near him, he tore his score card to

We are always interested in out
of-towners, especially one who is
affiliated with Howard University
as is PROFESSOR JOHN W.
HUGULEY, of Washington, D. c.
Professor Huguley is in Mime
apolis attending the University of

was very cordial and willing to an
swer the following questions:
1. Where is your home? Ans.
Washington, D. G.

you leave Minneapolis? Ans. Re-
turn to my position in the Depart
ment of Chemistry, Howard Uni
versity, where I've taught 9 years.
8. Do you like the Middle West

freedom at all.
A. What do you do to keep cool?
Ans, Drink plenty of lemonade and
wear the minimum amount of
clothing I can without being put in
Jail for indecent exposure.
5. Do you think first impressions
are lasting? Ans. Yes.

ton? Ans. Playing pool.
8. Do you think We'll ever have
colored president of the U. S.?

portunity for success in the North,
East, or South? Ans. In the South.
10. Who pushes the baby buggy
in your family? Ans. My wife, I'M
less we are together, then push it.
It's almost too hot to write any,
thing, kiddos. All everybody
does these "cool days" is swim. 6.
People have just about made the
lakes their home. The other
afternoon at one of the beaches I
saw WILBERT NEVIS and
