This N That About Senior High
A week ago Monday night was
the splendid program put on by
the Concordia College Choir, spon-
sored by the Junior class. The re-
turns were very good; assuring
the Junior class Of good Prom
and the Seniors, too.
Monday night left everyone in a
good mood, especially for the pep
fest on Tuesday. Mr.. Olson gave
a speech and told the Junior class
of their success. Everyone was in
such a good humor it must have
inspired the team on; the result,
the score: 48-7, in favor Of us.
Wednesday, the pep fest was held
in the gym and several students
participated in it besides the cheer
leaders. There were two buses to
Melrose in the evening and many
carloads Of kids went down. The
game with Melrose, itself, was very
good, but there will be no mention
of the score. Some day you can
ask us why Melrose beat us q to
| 81.
There was movie scheduled for
Friday morning but none was
shown.

Seniors
What metals are most needed to-
day? Man has long measured
wealth in terms Of gold. If you
were offered your choice Of a gold
mine or a copper or an iron mine
which would you pick? The con-
sumner class, of course, choose the
gold mine, but after further study
they found out in terms of use
they were choosing one of the
least useful in metals in the pro-
duction of real wealth of the
world.
English IL students are still read
ing poetry, and just finished some
of Shelly's and Keats famous
poetry. Marian Butler and Beverly

Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday to
the Main Street Theatre for an en-.
gagement of three days.
Each has d made-to-order role.
Grant plays Miss Hepburn's ex-

perfection in husband and has to
learn that it can't be had. She
played the role for fifty-two solid
laugh weeks on Broadway. Stew
art is seen as keyhole magazine
reporter, sent to cover the wedding,
who falls in love with the girl.
Every line of diologue is a funny
bone ticker, with all three sharing
the amusing situations as Grant
tries to win Miss Hepburn back,
while Stewart finds himself in the
middle. Played against a back
ground of high Philadelphia society
life, the action comedy was direct

Jewels and Gems" is another
Junior Literary Guild Selection
written by Lucille Saundners Nc
Donald.
Kingdoms have been invaded,
royal families have been over
thrown, and pirates have sailed
the seas to possess precious stones.
The lure and the glitter Of them
small wonder that jewels have
made history!
But they have a history Of their
own, too. So it is that in this
unusual book, you will not only
find many a dramatic tale Of adj
venture, but the life-story Of jew
els and gems, as well as where
they were first found and where
they are gathered today; how they
have been used; and a chapter on
the semi-precious stones we our
selves may find in our country.
The myths of jewels and gems
are here too. Perhaps you have
heard people say they will never
wear opals, because they are I'M
lucky. That is all because when
gem-cutters first began to chip
the stones into new and beautiful
shapes, they found that opals
cracked very easily. Fearing they
would be held responsible, these
artisans invented ominous stories
SO that people would not want to
buy them-and they, therefore,
need no longer work with them.
"Kersti and Saint Nicholas" by
Hilda Ban Stockum is a very in
teresting book for children Of the
grades. Kersti was a little girl in
Holland. She had a mother and
father and six sisters. It was
such nice family for little girl
to have that you would think Ker-
sti would be very good girl. But
she was very mischievous, and did
naughty things like sailing in the
canal In a washtub and rolling a
huge SNOWFALL into her mothers
nice clean cupboard.
Father told her that he could not
put out her shoe with the other
little girls for Saint Nicholas to
fill on Christmas Eve.
What do you suppose happened
when Kersti went out into the
night to find Saint Nicholas? A
great surprise was in store for her
and for you too, when you read
this story about her.
Watch next week for the life of
Lucille Wallower a noted children's
author and summary of some of
her very Interesting stories.

New Study Shows
Scoring Cost
of Government

At the beginning of the World
War in 1914, Federal, state and local
governments were collecting no
more than 81 billion a year in
taxes. Today, the people of the
United States contribute upwards
Of $l4.5 billion in taxes toward the
cost of governing themselves and
even this huge sum only partly off
sets the total, expenditures. The
rate of taxes to national income has
risen to 20 per cent in 1910 as COM
pared to only per cent in 1918.
The ratio of expenditures to ma
tional income has ballooned to ITS
per cent in 1910 where in 1918 1t
was but per cent. Before the
World War the Federal government
alone owed 81 billion. Today, 1t
owes more than $50 billion and the
debt in the near distant future is
already estimated at 500 billion or
$4,000 for every single family in
the country
These are some OF the points high
lighted in Tax Facts and Figures
the first edition of q new annual
80-page publication prepared by the
Tax Foundation of New York. Fred
A. Eldcan, executive director, states
that the objective Of the publication
is to summarize in popular form the
complete picture Of United States
fiscal history over the past twenty
years. Its various categories graph
cally depict the soaring costs of
federal, state and local governments.
Tax Facts and Figures" empha-
sizes that today's defense emergency
program is being superimposed up-
on a national economy entirely diff
ferent from that which preceded the
last great war. Since 1918, gov
eminent expenditures have multi
piled nearly seven times from
Sightly under s. billion to almost
SO billion in 1910.
Estimate Of ultimate costs of the
present defense program are given
as tentative, but the publication
points out that national defense ex-
penditures for the fiscal year l94l
were slightly in excess OF s. billion.
Revised budget estimates rs Of June
II, 194l, however, jumped expendi-
lures for the fiscal year 1912 to
SIS billion. These figures do not
paint complete picture Of what to-
tai defense means in terms Of cost
but they do suggest the great stres-
ses that are being and will be
placed upon our economy and way
Of life.

The City of the Bees
THE HOUSE THE BEES LIVE IN
BY Peter C. Huchala

A colony of bees is little city in
itself. 1t has regular streets and al
legs for the passage of its inmates
and those streets are kept clean. In
some respects it is like the human
kind but in another way it is or
ganized on different scheme that
has for its goal the survival of the
fittest irrespective Of ethical or NOR
al rights.
The house (the bee city, the bees
live in is air cooled, or more exactly
eair conditioned" in hot weather.
The temperature inside is always
the same, no matter how oppressive
ly hot it is outside. 1t is thought that
for thousands of years bees have
known and used the science of vent
ilation and air conditioning. The
wise man has said, Thou sluggard,
60 to the ant II he had said, go to
the bees, he would have been wiser.
In the bee city there is no mayor
or city manager, no city council, no
political boss and while there is a
queen she does not direct its poll
cies nor its destinies. Nevertheless
in all the realm of nature there is
not more efficient organization.
It's police force is the best in the
world--not for regulating the in
mates Of the city, but to keep out
the burglars, the thugs and the
racketeers. Let one of these ap-
proach the gates of the city, and
be it the naughty boy or one of
its own kind, he or she will be so
severely treated that they will re-
treat in utter reut.
The inmates are all for one and
one for all There is perfect coop
Grafton and unity of action. There
are no jealousies, no strifes for po-
itical perferment, no unions and no
strikes. They cooperate and do not
fight among themselves. They are
intensely patriotic, and if need be
will fight their enemies. Their
prowess is not questioned by any
living thing that creeps. walks or
flies. Even man has q most whole
some respect for them. Man must
deal with them If at all on their
terms.
Their scheme\ for the division of
labor is the best in the world. Ev-
cry worker knows her precise job
and does it without being told or
shown by superior, for there is
no superior.
In this bee city there is no UNI
employment problem. Nor is there
any unemployment or old age pen
sion. None is needed. The popula-
ton of this bee city is carefully
regulated to the seasons and the
amount OF work to be done. This
means of course, a perfect scheme
of birth control. When depression
or a bad season come the bee city
stops raising more. babies. When
there is danger OF the city the
control bees will dump the half
grown babies (beee. in the larval
form) out at the city gate to die.
II any OF the full grown youngsters
are crippled, sick or not fully de-
ve1oped, tf1ey, too, are showed out
OF the city to die. In addition to
this, the old workers whose wings
are worn out by toll are made to
leave the city. II they do not 60
out voluntarily, they are kicked out.
What is the use, they say, OF raising
a lot OF babies or cripples and keep
