pany. We can even go so far as
to demand that they buy supplies
from our manufacturers. Alto
gether, we will create veritable
flow of money in the state that will
literally lift our business men up
by their bootStraps."
Tweed's eyes shone as the Gov
ernor painted this glowing picture.
His fertile mind could vision a
huge patronage machine that would
provide an unbreakable backbone
for the party. 1t would enrich
many of the party's friends in a
perfectly legitimate manner and
lay the foundation for the party's
success for years to come.
He suddenly turned to Clark.
CLARK, the Negro vote in Jazz
Hollow must be won at all costs.
On the shoulders of you and this
Inky Sanborn may rest the welfare
OF the party. Am l clear?"
'Yes, Chief" Clark replied SIM
ply, and with that reply went the
last vestige of Clark Griffith, the
playboy.
"How much money will it cost to
build this subway? Got any idea?"
Tweed asked the Governor.
That viii depend upon how ex-
tensive their program is. But,
judging from the population CEN
tiers of the city and the geological
makeup of the ground between
them, l would roughly say about
one hundred million dollars"
We'll, that certainly isn't chick
en- feed, is it,"
Hardly" the Governor said
smilingly.
AT this moment the secretary en-
tered the door and beckoned to
Clark.
Your wife traced you here
through Tweed's office" Gates said
when he had closed the door on the
Governor and Tweed. "She says
to come at once. Something is
wrong at her shop"

Clark's enemies, failing to reach
him, struck at Verda, the thing he
has dreaded would happen? Read
next weeks instaIlment and find
out what has happened.)

tainers. The Kappas and AL
phas both had after parties at
their respective fraternities. One
of our party had to get to work in
the Twin Cities Sunday night, so
we decided to pack our buds and
dash on home again. In fact, it
was one grand dash from the mo-
ment we left until we got back.
Oh, yes! l almost forgot, GER
tain gal whose initials are (per-
haps better not tell) asked me to
say to a certain boy, why be
mad? Why run the other way?
That's not the natural thing to do"

really mellow time, folks, and all
can say is Iowa's just all right.
So, 1 must be dashing along but
I'll be SEEM you next week.

he does it each time, too, and with
his famous kick he added the con-
version point, After that first
touchdown Minnesota went to town,
as you all know. All through the
game these real players, Bell and
Reed, held Minnesota'S banner fly
ing high, not only honor for Min
nesota, but for our own race, too.
Well, the game ended after a real
battle, with Minnesota winning a
35 to Iowa's 10. Boy, what a
game! What game!
After the game l imagine most
of the kids did what our gang did,
took a little nap before the dance
given by the Alpha fraternity on
the Iowa campus. On arrival at
the dance Saturday evening it
really looked good to see so many
Twin City folks. 1t made one feel
quite at home SEEM all your own
home folks in another city in
strange surroundings. FLORENCE
WARD looked adorable in black
with veil snuggled in her hair,
lending an air of mystery to her.
Jimmy Porter had some competi-
ton there.) Liz SHIRLEE
HARRIS had her hands full try
ing to get rid of one guy at the
Alpha dance to dash over to the
Kappa house to meet another one
with whom she had a date. :.
Good OF WARREN GRISSOM is
all right. Warren had some sort of
blondish lookin' gal off in the cor

was off with a brunette. Make up

some sort of baby blue outfit. Saw
OLLIE RANTHAM, lookin'
mighty good in spite of his recent
illness. Ollie's really a swell guy.

house. We arrived in Iowa City
about 10 a. m, after a long but
swell drive down. The funny thing
is that we stopped to inquire at a
restaurant where the place was We
girls were to stay and it happened
the house was right next door, just
where We parked. Marge Carter
and Sal went on in and found some
of our home town gals still sleep
ing. Most of them had arrived in
town the night before. PATTY
DAVIDSON, GRACE LACEY,
RUTH MILLER, MARY LEWIS
and ANITA WALLACE were
parked in these quarters. In about
an hour the above gals, Marjorie
and Sal were ready to truck off to
breakfast. In the restaurant | no
uced several Twin City fellows who
dld nothing but "eye" the different
Iowa gals who came in to eat. To
tell the truth, they did more cycling
than eating. But it did them no
good, ha, ha. A little later SON
NY BERRY and JIMMY PORTER
came trucking" in looking mighty
good. Sonny Berry had the
swankiest overcOat on. Just be-
lore the game some of us gals did
some tall shopping. We ran into
SHIRLEE HARRIS and FLO
WARD touring the Avenue with
some rawther handsome men. Be-
fore we noticed it the time was
slipping away and it was time for
the game. We arrived at the sta
dunn about 2 o'clock. Marge Car
ter and Sal left some of the kids
to go on up to the Press Box. At
the time We didn't realize Iowa's
press section for the non-working
press would be different from Min
nesota's. Ours here is in the open
in the front row, while Iowa's is
encased in glass which would really
be mellow if the weather had been
cold. But we had on fur coats and
carried a big blanket, which we
soon discarded. The weather was
ideal for the game. l must say
the battle between the Golden Co
pliers and the Hawkeyes was
classic. l know most of you heard
it over the radio, but it's great to
be right there and hear and see it
all for yourself. Excitement ran
to fever heat in the first quarter
when the Hawkeyes scored. It ap-
peared as if Minnesota had met its
defeat when, 10 and behold, the Co
pliers started a triple forward pass
in which our own DWIGHT REED
carried the ball over the goal for
touchdown. Then came HORACE
BELL, and, by the way, Bell has
the cutest way of rubbing his foot
in the dirt just before he kicks, and
