Inquisitive Sal

Howdy folks:
Decoration Day held a lot of
excitement for most of the folks
about town and especially for the
younger set. The day started out
in the form of a picnic for the
average young person about town
and ended up at the Omega's Fra
ternity party at the Keller Golf
Course.
Candid Camera View of the
Omega Psi Phi Party Last Week
The party had the three things
that always make up a perfect
evening, syncopated music, beauti-
full gowned gals, and well-grOomed
males. There is nothing that beats
summer party attire. 1t not only
lends a sort of formality to the
event but adds that certain" touch
of beauty. Did you notice
ELMER HARRIS with that sort
of "serenade" look on his face
while dancing with PEGGY PET
TICORD? Of it hadn't been so
crowded, various folks about town
believe Elmer would have really
serenaded his lady friend with a
song.) BYRON RIFE and
ADELAIDE SYKES seemed to
have eyes for only each other. Cor
did they?) E. Did you notice that
ever presence of certain jitterbugs
who won't even let up even in hot
weather? To tell the truth, elbows
came in mighty handy cause when
the orchestra played one of their
lively numbers one could hardly
move foot without going through
the maneuvers of a football player
trying to make a touchdown. E.
CLIFF RUCKER may not be quite
as large as a football player but
no one can deny that Rucker was
about the only one who danced on
every foot of the dance floor that
night. . Is the EVA LEE-WAL-
TER COINS twosome developing
into a real romance? (You tell
me- :. Was JIMMY (Counsellor)
BRADFORD having single, double
or triple trouble? well, anyway,
Jimmy's got the law on his side.)
. What Minneapolis boy thinks
EARLINE STOKES is grand but
is too bashful to express his
thoughts? The Omegas' hymn
singing during intermission went
over big. Many a heart fiuttered
when the following fellows joined
in their group frat. song: ROB-
ERT MURRAY, "CHUBB Y"
BRADY, AL MCCLURE and FOS-
TER BROWN. Did you notice
that quite well-known college stu
dent attending" with his girl
friend? Said boy friend threatened
to take his "lady love" home;
probably when they did arrive
home there was more pouting. . . q.
ANNE SEYMOUR THOMAS was
striking in a cotton figured gown.
ELIZABETH MOORE was
attractively attired in blue lace
gown. :.
All in all, the Omegas did throw
a very nice party which was en-
jOyed by many.
Pipe Smoking Fad =.
Just as women foolishly indulge
in various fads during the yearly
seasons, so do the boys and men
about town. At present the follow
ing he-men just wouldn't be seen
without a most magnificent pipe in
their mouths: AUGUST PIPER,
RAYMOND HARRISON, SIR
NORMAN Light, WALTER
ROBINSON, JOHN THOMAS, C.
W. WASHINGTON and TIM
OTHY MILLS. Sal asked one of
the younger members of this group
just what he got out of this most
popular fad and he said, "Well, to
tell the truth, it just wouldn't be
ethical for me to be seen without
one" Now you tell me what he
meant. Well, anyway, as a whole
we women must admit that a pipe
does lend a sort of masculine

ton of a wave has finally been

so-called st. Paul gigolo about

That this may make a considerable
difference in the nutrition and
health Of young people is evidenced
by the experience Of Prof. Hopkins.
noted British nutrition authority, in
a large prep school, Conduct Of the
boys in the school became unSatiS-
factory late in the winter; standard
of work and play fell below normal,
and the boys became apathetic and
listless. At last nutrition iI1ves-
tigator found that the diet, although
school was for well-to-do boys, in
included nothing in the way Of un-
cooked foods and practically no
green's. A neighborhod fruit shop
which the boys had formerly pa
tronized had been closed for some
time, so their spending money went
for candy, sweets, soft drinks. When
the school was for well-to-do boys,
the school authorities added a lib
eral amount of fresh fruit to the
table fare the trouble disappeared.
Clearly the whole school had suf-
fered from mild or incipient scurvy.
