I saw quite number of new
faces at the dance the Mems Club
of st. Thomas Episcopal church
gave the other evening at River
Ign. Many of the girls looked
very attractive in their various
pleasure. One young man, who
has just lost his old love, was try
ing his best to be on with the
new. :. Who was the young lady
RAY JOHNSON was so interested
in? Highights on the dance
at Rainbow Gardens. -. The mu-
sic was delightful-the ladies very
lovely to look at-and the men
we'll, we'll skip that. Anyway,
everything was "copasetic."
DAISY NEVIS was looking as
street costumes. TAlMADGE
CAREY, SR., seemed to be very
busy combining business with
sweet as ever. DORTHEA
HARRIS, MARIE HUGHES, La
VERNE DOTY, CLARENCE
HUGHES and JIMMY CARTER
were going to town, dancing, etc.,
etc. ,.
By accident I happened in on a
dance at the Halle @. Brown
House the other evening, which
was just too fine. That music
they had sounded like hotel or
chestra. SHIRLEY HARRIS
and CHUBBY BRADY were en-
joying themselves to the utmost.
Well, Pm in an awful hurry, kid
does, but don't forget that there
is an opportunity for every man,
and a man for every opportunity,
so cheer up.

Or Simmons is almost the ex-
IRENE opposite of Harris. Or is
easy to get acquainted with and
easy to talk to. Newspaper pic
lures make him look very sad, but
he's really a quite nice-looking
brownskin boy. He's likeable and
full of fun. Where Harris will go
to a dance and sit on the sidelines
(unless he's changed in the last
Year, Or will dance just about
every dance. Harris doesn't seem
to fool around much with girls, but
Or apparently has more than his
quota of feminine admirers. Never
theless, they're both swell kids. I
hope some of you will get a chance
to meet them when they come up
here with the Iowa team this fall.
Willis Ward, who played with
Michigan two years ago, was per-
haps the most well-balanced COM
bination of football player and gen
tleman-about-town that I've seen
so far. After playing a rough and
tumble game of football in which
he knocked Minnesota men all over
the place, he came over to the get
together we had for him and sat
down to play better-than-average
game of bridge and then to carry
on a conversation that was as in
telligent as it was interesting.
Some man!
If you want to get line on the

Personalities

conventional enough to be interest
ing, and one of the most discreetly
unconventional young men I've
ever met, s'help me, was a young
man I stumbled across quite unex-
pectedly at an out-of-town frat
party. He had a bag of ham,
burgers in one hand and was look
ing for some secluded spot in the
frat house where he could eat his
hamburgers in peace. Now trying
to find a secluded spot in a frat
house at one of those weekend
parties is like trying to find the
proverbial needle in haystack-
there are people everywhere and
anywhere, in the corners, on the
stairs, hanging from the chande-
Tiers, etc., etc. This young mans
gal had deserted him for a frat
brother and so he had gone out and
bought himself some hamburgers
quite an unusual thing to do
when your gal deserts you, Ell?
My b. f. and I had just had one of
those You-did-I-didn't squabbles
and weren't on speaking terms, so
the young man with the hamburg
ers came along just at the oppor-
tune moment. We decided to do
away with the hamburgers and so
we set out to find a suitable place
to eat 'em. We looked in the
kitchen but there was a combina-
ton bridge game and giggle-soup
guzzing contest in progress out
there, and in the basement some of
the stays were all tied-up in a
poker game and so that was out.
Every nook and Granny contained
one person or two or three per-
sons. Finally the young man said:
'There's only one place left we
haven't looked"
"Where's that" sez I.
"The roof" the young man SEE.
eve might fall and break our necks,
but at least we can eat these
dambed hamburgers in peace"
And so to the roof it was. There
was nice, fiat portion on one side,
just the place for sitting and eat
ing hamburgers. We had a very
nice time. We decided the ham,
burgers were lousy. We both
wished we had a million dollars.
We both decided we liked detective
stories that make you look under
the bed before you turned in, and
we both decided we disliked peo-
pie who had never had an urge to
sit on a roof.
A few days ago I received let
ter from the young man saying
that he will be here for the Min
nesota-Iowa game on November 7.
Which one of you girls would like
a date for that weekend with a
nice, tall young man who might
take you roof-sitting?
And speaking of dates for that
weekend, one Teller postcards:
"I'm pretty sure I'll be up there
for the game. Don't forget you
promised to get me a date. But
not with some chick who is walk
ing ad for Frigidaire!" Natural
ly not.
Thus far the gridiron spotlight
when focused on Iowa has always
been on Ozzie Simmons, but this
year Homer Harris, the Seattle
boy, will come into his own. Har-
ris is big, awkward, handsome
lad with the same love for the
game that Dwight Reed has. And
like Reed, HON prefers rough go
ing. He is studying medicine down
at Iowa, and from what I hear,
makes good grades, too. He's we'll
liked by the boys on the team and
his best buddy is Floyd De Heer,
the big tackle. Harris is reticent
and rather hard to know, but once
you get acquainted with him you'll
find he's regular although he'll say

In Corinthians 1 :21-25, Paul sets
forth the attitude of the world to-
ward Christ and his gospel. The one
who breaches Christ crucified must
expect opposition and even violent
persecution. This attitude Of the
world, instead of being a deterrent,
should be a spur to ACTIVITY.
I. Peter Healing the Lame Man
(Acts Slid.
The place wv. 1, .. 1t was at the
beautiful gate which leads from the
outer to the inner court Of the
temple. This helpless man had been
placed at the entrance Of the place
Of worship where he might receive
the sympathetic attention Of wOr-
shippers.
2 The man ". q. This beggar
was infirm from his birth. He was
not more than forty years old (Acts
4:22). When he saw Peter and John
he asked aims.
8. The method wv. $50
a. Gaining the mans attention
". A., Peter and John commanded
him to look on them. He asked for
money and got healing.
b. Peter commended him in the
name of Jesus Christ Of Nazareth
to rise and walk ". g.. This was
the very thing he had been unable
to do all his life, but with the COM
mand went the ability to do so.
c. Peter took him by the right
hand ". y, gave impetus to his
faith, not strength to his ankles.
4. The mans response ". 81.
Strength at once came to him. He
stood, walked, leaped and shouted
praises to God. He not only adVer-
tised this miracle, but ascribed the
honor to God, and used his strength
In walking into the house Of God.
5. The effect wv. 9-1D. The peo-
pie were so filed with wonder that
they ran together to behold this
thing. There could be no question
as to the genuineness Of the mira
Gle for the man had been a familiar
figure for many years.
a. This helpless man had to be
carried to the temple. Men and
women out Of Christ are 80 help
less that they need to be brought
where the life Of God can be applied
to them.
b. Peter, taking the man by the
hand, showed the manner Of helping
the lost. Christian witnesses should
bring them to Jesus.
n. Peter Witnessing Before the
Multitude (Acts 3:12-28.)
Though this miracle directed the
attention Of the people to Peter
and John, Peter seized the opportu-
nifty to present Christ to the people
who had assembled.
III. Peter In Prison for chrIst's
Sake (Acts 4:1-4).
!. The leaders. Both priests and
Sadducees Joined in this persecution
wv. /, D.
The priests were intolerant be-
cause these new teachers were en-
croaching upon their functions. The
Sadducees did not believe in the res.
direction, which was a vital part Of
the apostolic preaching.
2. The result wv. 3, A.. Though
they were held in bondage by chains,
Christ continued to work. The num-
Der Of believers greatly increased.
w. Peter Witnessing Before the
sanhedrin (Acts 4:5-21).
1. The inquiry wv. 5-7). The in
Quirers admitted the reality Of the
miracle, but they wanted to know
what 1t signifled.
2. Peters answer wv. 9-12). With
singing sarcasm he showed them
that they were not on trial as evil
doors, but for doing good In the
name Of Christ to the helpless and
needy man.
3. The impression upon the San
hedrin wv. 1920.

Brief Bits of News
From Herein There

The National City Bank of New
York reports that 895 corporations
showed combined profits, less de-
ficits in 1885 of $952,O0O,0 900 which
compares with $64S,OOO,O0O for the
same corporations in '34 or a gain
of 46.9 per cent.
In 1880 the railroads of the
United States employed 100000
men. Due to bus and truck COM
petition this has been reduced to
100000 and a further reduction
of 100000 is being considered.
Every baby is perfect criminal
in the opinion of DR.. John Edward
Lind, Psychiatrist of st. Eliza
beth's Hospital, Washington. A
baby recognizes only his own de-
sires and everything else must be
subordinate to them. He gives
way to his own physical desires
whenever he pleases. He demands
warmth and food and comfort and
howls until he gets them. His
, activities are limited to his physi-
cal feebleness, otherwise he would
rob and kill. The doctor adds
that fortunately as they grow up
most babies become civilized.
When taxes in Columbus, Ohio,
became delinquent to the amount
of $3,OO0,00O and the town voted
down an increased tax levy, Mayor
Bierdeman Gessaman furloughed
16O of the 31S police, and 187 Of
the 33S firemen, leaving but 1853
policemen and 151 firemen. He
then boarded up eleven of the nine
teen fire stations. To meet the tax
situation, tax gatherers are max
ing house to house calls endeavor-
ing to collect by personal solicita-
ton back taxes.
