mander, counted upon them
for a long time after he con-
quered Shanghai. In his
famous interview threaten
ing to take over the Inter-
national Settlement, Matsui
complained to us:
THREATS RECALLED
"You know yourselves
there are important numbers
of Chinese soldiers in civil
ian clothes waiting in the
settlement to commit acts of
terror"
Since that time a series of
bombing attacks by Chinese
upon Japanese has been re-
corded, although none has
struck a big enough mark.
Suppose, however, that to-
morrow Japanese Military
Attache Harada were assas-
sinated in the streets Of the
International Settlement.
The consequences would
almost inevitably be the
military occupation Of the
settlement which Matsui
clearly threatened.
On the japanese side, an
equally violent and irrespon-
sible group of youngsters ex-
lists, mostly on the borders Of
the foreign areas but some
times strolling through on
sightseeing tours" These
are soldiers of Matsui.
When they think interna-
tionally at all, the Chinese
are actuated by respect for
England, A erica and
France, for they want our
help against Japan.
JAPAN CoNTEMPTUoUs
The Japanese, on the other
hand, are actuated by such
a profound contempt for all
white people, but especially
for Britons and Americans,
that our national pride
hardly permits us to under
stand it.
They regard US, indeed, as
whites in the good old bad

races as a whole as coolies.

the Japanese would like
nothing better than to in
wade the foreign areas and
take them over in a military
sense.
WAR ADVANTAGEOUS
And they know that if the
Japanese march in to take
over control by force from
British and American and
French troops, the possibili-
ties of armed conflict and
subsequent war would be i'm

youths would set the world afire.
AS repeatedly arrives of conflicts and incl

home to the public how great is the responsibility of
military and diplomatic representatives at Shang-
hal and how difficult task has been laid upon the
American British and French governments.
For they face in Shanghai the constant possibility,

THE p. 4. A. MEETING

The Parent Teachers Association
met January 20, in the auditorium
Of Rising Sun High School. After.
the business was transacted the
meeting was turned over to repre-
sentative of the CONVINCE Power Co.
who provided entertainment In the
form OF moving pictures.
The first movie was called "Foi-
lowing the Lindberg," 1t proved to
be picture of the Pan American
Clippers and showed the cities to
which they carried mail and pass
engers. Perhaps the NOSE interesting
part of this picture was the Clippers
flying over the Andes. The noun
tains were magnificent, many Of them
being covered with snow and ice.
Next was a picture of great interest
to the ladies. 1t proved that in our
modren world today Dinner for
Eight" can be prepared in less than
an hour and cooked by the o'clock.
Then came the most enjoyable
picture of all for both young and old.
Amos and Andy in the Wrestling
Match accompanied by their real
voices. The bout was certainly
laugh but in the end Andy defeated
Mooseface and becomes the heavy
weight champion of the world.
The program was concluded very
appropriately by Singing Sans
Organlogue in which the audience
joined in singing old familiar songs
Among these were Lazy Dog, LET
Me Call You Sweetheart" and sew
eral others. all of which called back
happy memories Of days gone by.
I'm sure this program was enjoyed
by everyone present because it had
something in which each individual
would be interested. We can sum
it up with this, 'The Conowingo
Power Co. can certainly provide an
excellent program to suit each one

EDITORIAL

The series of basket ball games
with other schools has begun at last.
Although all the attempts Of our
teams have ended In failure so far,
there are two important things
shown by our participation in these
games.
Rising Sun is progressive school,
always ready to try anything that
may benefit it's pupils. Only four
schools in the county have equipment
for basketball, and we are very
proud that our school is one of the
TOUR. Rising Sun has entered into
the new sport with enthusiasm and
mas fine equipment and wide awake
teams.
The other thing it shows is sports
manship and that fine cooperation
without which true sportsmanship Is
impossible. The faculty, especially
the coaches, Miss Shepard and Mr..
Shingler, have cooperated spendidly,
as have the players, who give up
other activities out side of school in
order to practice. Moreover those
who cannot play on the teams are
given a chance to play at noon.

PERRYvILLE BEATS SUN, s1.12

The boys basket ball team started
off their regular league games in the
same way that they did their pre-
season practice tits, being swamped
by the Perryville five, S1-12.
In beating the Sun, Perryville ap-
peared ragged and inexperienced, but
they outplayed their opponents in
all departments of the game. The
Sun, unable to develop scoring at
tack, was hopelessly behind well into
the third quarter. As Perryville pa
raded up and down the court the
Suns scoring chances were few and
poorly capitalized.

RAIN ON THE ROOF
BY Coates Kinney

When the humid shadows hover
Over all the starry spheres,
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in rainy tears,
What joy to press the pillows
OF cottage chamber bed,
And to listen to the patter
OF the soft rain overhead!
Every tinkle on the single
Has an echo in the heart;
And thousand dreamy fancies
Into busy being start,
And a thousand recollections
Weave their bright hues into woof.
AS listen to the patter
OF the rain upon the roof.
Now in fancy comes my mother.
AS she used to, years agone,
To survey her darling dreamers
Ere she left them till the dawn;
Oh! see her bending DER me
AS list to this refrain
Which is played upon the shingles
BY the patter of the rain.
Then my little seraph-sister,
With her wings and waving hair,
And her bright-eyed cherub-brother
A serene, angelic pair,
Glide around my wakeful pillow
With their praise or mild reproof,
AS listen to the murmur
OF the soft rain on the roof.
And another comes to thrill me
With her eyes delicious blue;
And forgot I, gazing on her,
That her heart was all untrue;
I remember but to love her
With a rapture kin to pain,
And my hearts quick pulses virate
To the patter Of the rain.
There is naught in Arts bravuras
That can work with such spell
In the spirits pure. deep fountains.
Whence the holy passions well.
AS that melody Of Nature,
That melody Of Nature,
Which is played upon the shingles
BY the patter of the rain.

OUR Hollywood scout sends
" this bit of news of the stars
and their interests:
You know for a number Of
years the screen beauties have
been wearing the long bob, but
with the exception of a ribbon
band. there was nothing used
to confine the hair or keep it
back from the face. They are
going to continue to wear the
hair long but for the past few
months, fancy pins, combs and
barrettes are being used. And
besides the plain shell variety,
there are the brilliants in smart
designs for evening.
Ann Sheridan wears the usual
shoulder length that conforms
to any hairdreSs and she some
times has it done in one Of the
high formal effects, but likes to
wear it rather loose with a cluS-
ter of curls at the nape Of her
neck. When this youthful style
is worn, she outlines the curls
with jewel-headec hairpins.
If you want to look like Janet
Shaw as she appears in Gold
Diggers of Paris" you will have
to find one Of the old-faShioned
circle combs. She wears it to-
wards the back and it serves to
keep the hair nice and neat be-

sides giving her a juvenile air.
For formal wear she wears the
brushed up couture and with
this she likes the little barrette
sets of colored rhinestoneS.
She arranges them so there
is one on each side two in the
back. The brilliantS should
match the color of the dress.
The directors told Martha
Raye she was to be a glamour
girl in the new picture Give Me

The cute Martha has such a
beautiful figure, they thought it
should not be overlooked, so now
she will be seen in toys that cost
more than $4,000. to say nothing
of the gorgeous jewelry and

$4,000, and this they are called
upon to invest. Part of the CAPT.
tai goes to bonds which will be
called. Securities must have
both common and preferred
stock. The students are urged
to read morning paper which
gives a detailed report Of the
stock exchange. What is left
from these make believe invest

and at the end of seven months,
the pupils sell out and return
the hypothetical money, saying
whether they have won or lost.
Knowledge Gained

Six lectures are given to the
students by an officer Of the
Bank of Manhattan. They go
to the director room and he
takes up a question of what .
bank is, shows them about
checks, how they're balanced,
and the management Of safe de-
poSits. During the course one
trip is made to the clearing
house and one trip to the stock
exchange. They also take up
the study Of currency and the
barter currency used in ancient
times. Twice, Columbia has

courses, with the intention Of
Incorporating the same type Of
