The married women and the Huskiettes played a fast game Friday which resulted in another victory for the High School. The half ended with the Huskiettes four points ahead, but reserve lineup failed to hold the lead and were only again used after forwards Lee and Martin had built up a substantial lead. The married Women were handicap ped by lack of reserves, while the High School frequently sub st,tuted and had the game we'll in hand at all stages. For the high school, Chapman and o. Leary proved specially effective as guards, while Dunham's play ing was notably improved.

A special meeting of the Stu dent Body was called by Pres:- dent Tom Martin Friday after noon. The problem of the care of the school building was the main topic of discussion. Mir Pool presented the faculty's views on the subject, and Mary Hood Chapman reported the results of the Student Councils tour of in- spection and the Councils ideas on how to handle the problem. The students agreed to put over a drive to prevent ink spots on the floor, markings on the fur niture, etc, and to give the build ing the sort of care it merits. The election of officers for the com ing year was brought up, but the matter was placed on the table until future meeting.

Spring has certainly come to the fifth and sixth grade room. Gal aNies of spring posies blossom on the window panes-violents, lil- lies, daffodils, daisies, all the flow CTS the garden wears in Spring time, cut from colored paper and mounted on the glass. This week the pupils memorized their fav- orite poems. The sixth grade geography class has finished study ing the United States and begun work on Alaska.
 The 3rd and 4th graders are making books of short stories. Attractive pictures are selected and stories written about them. Pictures and stories are then mounted on sheets of colored pa- per and the whole bound in book form. The spelling competition is going strong, with the fourth grade still in the lead. The 4th grade arithmetic class is struggl- ing with long and very involved multiplication. They have almost finished their readers and are working hard to complete them as soon as possible.

The supremacy of the Fair Sex, when it came to Scavenger Hunts, was proved when Audrey Dunham and Mary Hood Chap man came in with all but five of the necessary articles and won the first prize. After all this stren uous action, the crowd was ready for food, and fruit salad, plenty of cake, and gallons of hot choc- olate were consumed with relish.

AN AARON BURR TRICK

In New York is the History building
of the Bank of Manhattan company, an
institution whose history goes back almost
to the foundation of the government. 1t
is recalled by recent writer that the in
stitution resulted from the shrewd trick of
a lawyer, who was none other than the
notorious Aaron Burr.
At the time the bank was projected
the group behind it were 'in bad" poll
tically and hence unable to obtain bank
charter. They organized water COM
pany instead, but in drawing the charter
Burr added clause permitting the COM
pany to engage also Sin other necessary
business" The other business was con-
s.rued to include banking and it has been
carried on ever since.
The structure in Wall street adjoins
the lot formerly occupied by Federal Hail.,
the first national capitol where Washing
ton took the oath of office as President.
That tract is now the site of the sub
treasury.
If Aaron Burr and his associates
could look upon the scene today they
would marvel at the development which
has resulted from their clever scheme for
obtaining bank charter

LITTLE BY LITTLE

81 The average person does not realize
the tremendous weight which falls to the
earth eyerytime there is a heavy rainfall.
If one stood on an acre of ground and
was told that matter weighing 113 tons
was about to fall on that acre, he would
lose no time in getting off, yet that is the
weight of the water in one-inch rainfall,
over an acre.
How many people walking along
realize in rainy weather that thousands of
tons of water are floating about in the at
mosphere over their heads? OF course,
we know that all will not fall at once and
as it gradually descends no great harm is
done.

This approach to the farm problem
is now to be thrown on the scrap
heap. although the best talent in the
Department of Agriculture has been
applied, for some years, TO proving
that it is the fundamental means of
agricultural salvation. The reasons
for scrapping are interesting.
In the first place, Mr. Wallace is
reported to have said that there is not
enough money in the Treasury to give
the farmers parity on wheat. cattle.

computed that II cent cotton is re-

even the Secretary is impressed by
the financia' drain II is extremely
significant to find this faint beginning
of realization that II e federal funds
are not inexhaustIoIe.
A second reason for scrapping the
idea of price parity is that while the
consumer might stand II for year or
so. he would eventually rebel. This is
new thought also. for there has
been very little concern shown here
tofore over the interests or the atti-
tude of the consumer. 1t reveals the
essential Inconsistency Of striving for
