OPEN LETTER TO FATHERS OF COLLEGE GIRLS:
Listen. Father lend ear
Open your heart and checkbook dear.
Your credits good why not enlarge it
With daughters fair for saying, Charge I'll"
The needs of modern college girls
Are classic sweaters, strands of pearls,
Reversibles and peated skirts,
Some snappy long-seeved flannel shirts.
They cry for dickies pastel bbs,
And knee-length socks. complete with ribs
Want jackets stolen from the boys,
In covert-cloth corduroys,
Short skirts that show a knee with dimple,
And lingere-but very simple.
Grave jewelry that provokes a laugh
And moccasns of unborn calf,
Suede beanies, chic and very dinky
Smooth evening gowns-but not too sinky,
Date frocks of wool velveteen,
Tomato red or spinach green.
The girls have learning and ambition
To make the most of their tuition.
They'll cram math and all the rest
When they are looking quite their best.
Their minds they'll feed; their brains they'll hammer
If you'll provide the fashion glamour!

Britain also was using a new
weapon-a new secret defense

press asserted had succeeded in
bringing down bombers in certain
circumstances. for instance in de-

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. burgess,

For the first time in his life Reddy
Fox was really sorry, really and
truly sorry for something that he
had done. Usually he didn't care, no
matter what mischief he had got
into or how uncomfortable he had
made other people. But now he
was sorry. You see he had plenty
of time to think. He was stiff and
sore from wounds made when Farm
er Browns Boy had shot him; he was
so hungry that it seemed to him he
could eat almost anything, even
grass; he was so weak that he
couldn't have run 20 steps to save
his life; he couldn't get out of the
old house in which he had hidden,
and Old Granny Fox couldn't get
into it to bring him something to
eat because Prickly Porky the Por-
cupine was blocking up the door,
way with his thousand little spears
Altogether Reddy was the most mis-
cradle little Fox in the whole world
Now there is nothing like being
shut up in the dark to make one
think. Reddy had slept all that he
could, so, ss he lay there in the
dark, dusty hall of the old house
where Prickly Porky was keeping
him prisoner. something inside be-
gan to whisper to him. Reddy Fox
tried not to listen. He stopped both
ears with his hands, but still he
heard that whisper.
"You are getting what you de-
serve, Reddy Fox" whispered the
voice.
"I don't deserve It'll" exclaimed
Reddy.
"Oh, yes, you do! You deserve
all that you are getting and a whole
lot more" whispered the voice down
inside of him. IF you hadn't tried
to be smart and show off you
wouldn't have been so foolish as to
steal the pet chicken of Farmer
Browns Boy in broad daylight.
Then Farmer Browns Boy wouldn't
have come hunting for you, you
wouldn't have been shot, he wouldn t
have found your nice, snug house
on the Green Meadows, you and
Granny Fox wouldn't have had to
move in the night to this old, dirty
house, and you wouldn't be stiff,
sore, weak, hungry and kept a
prisoner right now. It's all because
you thought yourself so very, very
smart and tried to show off. Now
look at the trouble you have brought
to yourself and to poor old Granny
Fox"
"I know it," said Reddy Fox, right
out loud, forgetting that it was only
still, small voice down inside him
that he had been listening to.
What do you know" asked
Prickly Porky, who, just for fun,
was keeping Reddy Fox a prisoner.
Its none of your business!"
snapped Reddy.
Reddy could hear Prickly Porky
chuckling to himself as he began to
sing in a queer, cracked voice:
"Rudeness never, never pays
Nor is there gain in saucy ways.
It's always best to be polite
And ne'er give way to ugly spite.
If that's the way you feel inside
You'd better all such feelings hide,
For ne must smile who hopes to win.
And he who loses best will grin"

Albert N. Meadows, tenor solo
list with wings Over Jordan" is
a native of Montgomery, Ala, who
has been with the choir since it
was originated by Rev. Glenn T.
Settle, in June, 1887.
This 20-year-old singer is a grad
uate of Central High School in
Cleveland, Ohio. His only formal
musical training has been as a
member of this nationally known
radio choir. While still in school
Meadows sang with the A Cappella
Choir and Glee Club.
One of the interesting highlights
of his brief musical career is the
fact that he was chosen to take the
role of Nanki Poo in the Central
High School production Of the Gil
bert and Sullivan operetta "The
Mikado" during his senior year in
High School. He has also appeared
as an entertainer and vocalist with
several theatrical groups.
On the concert stage Meadows is
featured with the wings Over

vince the boy that / am going with
that it will be best that we marry
than to take the steps that he has
in mind?
Ans: He's young, inexperienced
and doesn't know the problem that
you are facing :. it is my sugges-
ton that you have him go with you
to see your family doctor -. he
will explain things to him just as
they are, and it will make a much
bigger impression on his mind than
what you say. Do this Immediately
the young man will abide by
what the doctor says.
N. E. o.: Why is my wife so diff
ferent? Is she true to me or is
she hiding something from me?
Ans: You have her all wrong d.
she feels that it is you who are act
ing different and she is just as
puzzled as you are. Why don't you
ask her out to dinner occasionally
and spend more time with her in
the evenings. Also don't fail to tell
her how charming and sweet she is
;. as well as how much she means
to you. They love this stuff.
H. K. D.: I have some valuable
property and I wish to know if l
am ever going to get anything
from it?
Ans: It's my impression that you
will be offered a good sum for this
land at some future date it is
in and around the oil belt which
naturally will in time be bought if
you will SELL Hold to it for the
time being when you sell you
will clear a nice margin of profit.

you are in her family, but don't be
