PEOPLE ARE FUNNY

Pop Budd, an insurance salesman VINO
is writing a novel as hobby, is very
anxious to impress his neighbor in an
attempt to get large policy from him.
But the whole family seem to conspire
to be as un-helpful as possible.
Kenny, his son, wants the car Tor
heavy date with Winnie, the girl next
door; Helene brings home to dinner an
expectedly two young men whom she has
met once in Chicago; mother in an ef-
fort to impress the young men, does
everything possible to develop just the
opposite impression; Betty, the younger
daughter, upsets mother and Helene by
upsetting their matrimonial plans on The
young men. In fact, the entire evening
becomes a nightmare of misunderstand-
ing, false impressions, and necessary ex-
plantations, further complicated by the
arrival of relatives from the country,
Aunt Prudence and her awful Pamela.
Kenny has to 60 to Jail to get engaged
to the girl-friend and Betty has to drag
a proposal of marriage from her own

and mother make an impression on the
men from Chicago. Come and find out
that people certainly are funny"

OF course, mustn't forget to tell
you about Harold Terry and Kathryn
Lehman. II you don't know it, that gal
looks good in slacks.
You remember Edith Mcdaniel, the
cute little brunette? Well, she was with
Harold Upchurch, and it was stated that
her record was going to be broken.
Frances Phelps and James Holt Cade
were enjoying the party also. James
Holt is new in the crowd but it didn't
take him long to catch on.
Janet Wright is a newcomer in the
crowd also, but from Friday night, she
will be permanent one. Billy Carter
took her walking and she was gone
quite a while.
Coming back home on the school bus,
Corinne wouldn't even hold Walton
Doty's hand. Some girls are funny but
maybe there's a reason.
Julia Beall and Ernest could have done
worse. Ernest is a cute guy and one
of the main ones on the list.
Jack Williams and Betty Maude we're
kinda mixed up. Anyway, Louis and

come back.

WE NEED AN AUDITORIUM

L. H. s. we must have 1t either in the
study hall or in the gym. If the prog

are lined with students who are forced

ram or the speaker. We are uncomfor.
table and we shift around to fnd
another position. Often we can't hear
everything that is said on the program.
A certain amount Of unavoidable con-
fusion and inattention Is created.
We must sit twisted into hard win
dow ledge, trying to see over two or
three people standing in front OF US,
and trying to get all we can out OF
speech that every once in while is
interrupted by a scraping OF feet.
II the program Is held in the gym, the
arrangement is somewhat better. But
all of us must be on one side of the gym,
10 that the program can be presented to
everyone. Since only one side OF the
gym can be used for spectators, one
class and sometimes two must sit in
chairs on the floor. This arrangement
seats all us students comfortably but
the gyms acoustics are not good. The
other two or three classes, who are sit
ting in the balcony, are forced to make
q strained effort to hear every thing
that is said. Thus three-fourths, or at
least one-half, of L. H. s. students do not
get all the benefit possible from the
program.
Many excellent addresses have been
given to L. H. s., and the students have
profited from them enormously in every
way. But think how much more benefit
We would derive from these addresses IL
we were better able to give all our at
tentioR. The best and perhaps only So
luton to our problem is high school
auditorium with adequate seating and
good acoustics.

Women Answer
From IL States

To date, Touring Reporters have
visited the principal cities Of IL
Southern states; have asked 1897
users their famous question: "Did
CA R D U I help you?"
OF those 1897 users, 1906 said
they were definitely benefited by
CARDUI. That's SO out Of
every 100. What q record!
CARDUI is a good stimMator
for tagging appetites, a real aid
to digestion and assimilation.
That's why its proper use enables
so many women and girls to build
up physical resistance, and thus
helps them avoid the periodic
pain Of functional dysmenorrhea
due to malnutrition.

I think that shall never see
A teacher who'll be good to me.
A teacher who never gives pop-tests,
Who considers notebooks as mere pests;
Who always greets US with smile,
And keeps US laughing all the while.
A teacher who never gives F's or DIS,
And always does her best to please;
Who never asks for daily papers,
And never notices our foolish capers.
Poems are made by students like me
But that's what l want the teachers to
see.

Solution 10 Cotton Ills
Without Bankrupting
Treasury Sought
President Tells Of SEEING
Wallace and A. A. A.
Leaders on Problem
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt said today the
administration was trying to solve
the cotton surplus situation without
bankrupting the Treasury.
Asked at a press conference about
q meeting he was having today with
Secretary Wallace and a group of
regional directors Of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration, the
President replied that it had to do
with what he called the very serious
situation presented by the large cot
ton carryover.
He said the study was getting
along fairly well, and definite prog
ress was being made.
Various proposals have been made,
the Chief Executive added, and one
reason why the Treasury had op-
posed q bill by Senator Smith, DEM
ocrat, of South Carolina to dispose
Of cotton surpluses was that it would
cost too much money.
Asked if the program would pro-
vide q subsidy, Mr.. Roosevelt said
they had not proceeded far enough
to put title on it.
He said the cotton eventually
would be sold and not dumped or
burned.
