Last Flight-Amelia Earhart.

Almost by presentiment, it would
seem, as she completed each stage
of her journey, she sent back not
only her dispatches and persona
letters, but her diaries-three pen
ciled books of them-her charts
and the running log which she KEPT
in the cockpit. AS each bit falls into
place is seen to tell the whole story
Of her flight.
The earlier chapters recount how
she came to be a pilot (she got hel
first new Lockheed by flying *
rickety an old crate that the com

flew the Atlantic; the first woman
to accomplish the feat; how she
flew, despite Wiley Posts gloomy

The narrative then swings into

well and everything went off with
flying colors. think a vote of graf
itude should be given to the Dance
Committee and those that helped
them. The Committee was compos-
ed OF the following: Naomi Names,
Lillian Conkey, Faye Sprague, Don
aid Kringen, Kenneth Forsberg,
Ray Berggreen, Shirley Carpenter,
Catherine Hansen, Bob Rattle,
Douglas Kohl and Jimmy Arneson.
The faculty members that helped
them were Miss Wilson and Miss
Hunt.
The Gym was decorated in ac-

looked lovely. The dance program
consisted Of a Circle Two Step, The
Rye Waltz, and Modern Dances. A
lunch OF coffee and doughnuts was
served to the parents and chocolate
milk and doughnuts to the stud

SPORTS
The Crosby-Ironton basketball
coach is pretty darn lucky. He has
one Of the almost perfect squads
which all coaches dream about. His
team has reserve strength of
more than 20 men, all of whom can
be used with confidence. About -four
different fives could be played with
equal merit. In fact, this team has
perhaps the greatest reserve power
OF any high school team in the
state. Now, Coach Toftness' reserve
strength is confined to about two
different fives. (My reserve
strength is about one five cent
piece.)
The rules changing the tourna-
ment limit to ten players will en-
able Coach Toftness to take both
teams along and competition among
the players on the squad will be
quite keen for the positions on the
tournament teams.
Anyone who has followed Sank
Centres athletic encounters for the
past few years has no doubt heard
of Junior (John) Kleber, Of Mel
rose. He has played on their foot
ball and basketball teams but his
name is better known in the box
ing circles. He weighs over 100
pounds and packs hefty smuggling
wallop which is his one asset. AS
for boxing ability, there is not
much. Anyway, he won his match
in the Golden Glove tryouts held
in st. Cloud by knocking out his
opponent in the second round. In
the first round it is reported that
he broke his thumb. This injury
will probably keep him out of the
stiff competition which the Mime
apolis Golden Gloves tournament
would afford him.
The high school basketball squad
had five-day lay off before the
Brandon game. Thursday of last
week was their last practice and
Coach Toftness was very well
pleased with their work out. He
stated that he will probably give
the team a weeks rest before the
District Tournament.

under his breath.
Immediately there was much clat-

A breathless lady burst forth!

one Of the wonderful features Of the

In case you're wondering why we're
30 entranced with the idea of 1000
particles Of perfume instead Of one
drop, it's because 1t brings out many
qualities Of the blend that otherwise
might 60 unheralded and unsung. You
see, perfume is made Of several Diff
ferent fragrances-howers, herbs,
chemicals, and what not-and some
times carries q delicate scent that is
completely submerged by the stronger
fragrances when it Is in concentrated
drop. So, when you spray your per-
fume, the delicate qualities have
chance to be noticed. Sort of like
getting the most for your money! In
fact, We understand that most per-
fume manufacturers never test the
fragrance Of perfume by merely
smiling at 1t. 1nstead-and you may
believe it or not-they spray the air
with the new scent and then walk
through it-thus getting the benefit
Of all the delicate aroma we men
toned before.

SPRAYING perfume, they tell us,
distributes it more evenly over the
person. In fact, the idea Is that by
using an atomizer you may achieve
the effect Of moving, more or less, in
a fragrance all your own. Nothing Is
worse than conspicuous perfume aroma
and there is that danger when it
comes to dabbing it on in spots. You
will fnd, too. that spraying is apt to
be less injurious to your clothes than
a drop of perfume might be. 1t all
goes back to those 1000 particles that
form a hne spray. 1t practically stands
to reason that they won't leave stains
on your clothes, and you can use an
atomizer easily and quickly.
The atomizers this year are really

60 ONE would think that the boys
would simply mob the girl for
dates who had enough heart and con-
science to spare their pocketbooks;
who would eat enough at home to stay
her stomach until she got back and who
was willing to dance to a radio instead
Of demanding to be taken to q club
where there was q 20-piece jazz band.
But men are funny things and
there is no understanding them when
1t comes to the question Of women and
q wallet. Somehow, they always know
that she knows to q penny how little
is in it, but they make the grand
flourish. anyway, as II they had the
whole United States Treasury behind
them.
The poorest boy is nearly always
the one who grabs up the check and
pays it, who sends q girl the LONGEST
stemmed roses, who buys the most
expensive seats at the theater and
who gives dollar tip when q dime was
all that was needed.
There are very few men who ever
have the courage to tell . girl that
they can't afford thing, and 1t oi1ends
most of them for girl to show that
she knows that they can't afford it
by suggesting doing something cheaper.
So it is difncult for women to know
what line to take with men. Perhaps
the best way Is never to suggest any-
thing yourself, but to fall in with
the mans plan. Then If he spends
more than he can afford the crime
is at least on his own head. Though
that won't save him from blaming
the girl. But that Is the chief pleasure
men get out Of women-making scaps-
