THE MORE we observe the
actions of girls OF the college
set. and older ones, too, the
more we are convinced OF the
sound truth of Shakespeare's
lines, THE world is stage and
all the people players" Most
young people do act or have a
special manner for public APP
pearances.
We must assure them we have
no fault to find with this manner
either. Every girl should try TO
dramatic herself whenever it
improves her conversation or
any other little mannerism.
1t is an odd thing ever 10 see
an awkward girl these days.
Most of them have fine poise in
every way and are far more
lovely for their keen efforts to
copy and initiate any mode or
fashion that may serve TO i'm
prove them.
The few exceptions 10 this
rule are possibly due TO lack OF
thought, or even ignorance of
the great value of charm. We
recently read the rules issued 10
USO hosteSSes and wondered
where they would find girls who
are not already familiar with
the little niceties that stamp
them as cultured. Every girl
knows how TO conduct herself
beautifully wherever she may
be: however. reminders are good
for all of US.
Little Faults
The little faults we note are
In the manner OF speech and
walking. Some girls seem TO
find il difficult 10 cultivate
soft musical tone when speaking
and many slur and mispronounce
common words. Some walk
heavily and with kind OF
squareness instead Of gliding
along with an easy, liquid move
ment. Such faults can be cor
rected with a little practice and
observation.
Girls who Try 10 dramatic
themselves overcome mistakes
with little effort. They know
how TO move about and how to
stand. They practice arm move
mentS for grace--for instance,
presenting something. or hand
ing a thing TO another Will be
done with a full arm stretch
and never with just a forearm
movement.
They forget elbows which
mean awkwardness. The arm is
carried forward with the wrist
leading and never with the fin
gers outstretched.
Proctics
Practice this arm movement
now. Stand up, raise the right
arm with an easy forward
swing-the hand will be slightly
dropped and the back or wrist
leading. When extended TO full
length, turn the hand SO the
palm is on top This is all one
movement. The turning Of the
wrist just finishes the arm move
ment. Keep 1t smooth.
Try different movements but
always with the wrist leading.
Raise arms overhead. let fingers
drop in a circle framing the
head, change by raising fingers
upward. Turn wrists SO that
|she downward or leading move
ment will be directed by the

POET LAUREATE OF ENGLAND
WAS A PORTER IN a SALOON
BY Jeannc

WHAT romantic occupation
w could you possibly predict for
a boy so adventurous that no one
could control him, SO reckless that
the aunt who took care of him after
his father and mother died inden-
tured him to merchant ship at the
age of fourteen to curb him? That
was John Masefield's start in life
and today he holds the highest hon
ors England can give any poet.
Born in Ledburn, Herefordshire,
England, in 1874, he sai.ed the seas
for three years. Leaving the ship
in port at New York city, he took
any odd job he could get. He
worked in a bakery and in livery
stable. He was porter in Luke
O'Connor's saloon at the Columbian
hotel near jefferson Market jail.
Then he moved to Yonkers, at the
north end of New York city, where
he worked in a carpet factory, ris-
ing to the magnificent position of
mistake finder" at $3.50 per week.
1t was at this time, in his early
twenties, that Masefeld started to
write poetry and in 1897 he left for
London. His first volume of verses,
"Salt Water Ballads" was pub
lished in 1902 opening with "a Con-
secration," in which he announces
himself as the champion of "the
dust and scum of the earth" Books
of verse and novels followed, one
upon the other, and John Masefield
became established as one of Eng
lands greatest poets.
So, remember John Masefeld be-
fore you pass judgment on that
neighbor's boy who is such holy
terror or that young scamp who
works in the saloon across the rail-
road tracks. Some day his poetry
may draw tear to your eye, q
lump to your throat.

A. C. & Y. Railroad Unique Concern
Serving Only Small Communities

handle an increased volume of bulky
national defense material. The i'm
proved road bed and power enables
the A. c. & Y. r. r. to serve as an
overhead or bridge line on traffic to
and from the east and west.
Traffic Route
Starting west from Akron The
railroad crosses the Medina county
plateau and comes to Wellington,
the cheese capital of northern Ohio;
here it parallels the Big -Four for
few towns and crosses numerous
trunk lines as it chugs across the
state winding through the fertile
Ohio farm land.
The volume Of traffic has been in
creasing with its daily string of
freight, stock and oil cars. A pas
senger coach is carried at the end
of the freight string and a schedule
is maintained for passenger trans
portation. With the increased busi-
ness, the passenger car is so far
back of the engine that riders get
little smoke and cinders as was fre-
quent in earlier days. Often times
the passenger car will be 30 to 40
cars back of the engine.
Crew Fraternizes
1t has often been said that the
train crews of the A. c. & Y. r. r.
are the best known in America since
they stopped to fraternize at the
various towns while the loading and
unloading went on. Many of the
larger systems have become so big
that they become impersonal. This
is not the case in the A. G. & Y.
r. r. which has more time to de-
vote to personal relationships.
Despite its small size, compara-
lively speaking, the company main
tains a pay roll listing 796 people.
Employment is given by the COM
pany to eight Bluffton residents.
These are: L. l.. Buckland, sta
tion agent; G. L. Preto, signalman;
William Clark, section foreman;
and Elmer Klay, Glen Nonnamaker,
Noah Geiger, Paul Schulaw and
Aldine Weiss, section crew.

Station Maintained Here, Un-
der Several Arrangements,
for so Years
Heavy Rail and New Road Bed
Ballast Permit Use of
Large Locomotives

Weaving pleasant prairie path
through northern Ohio, the Akron,
Canton and Youngstown railroad,
goes through no cities except Akron
and serves only small towns of
which Bluffton is a typical example.
The railroad, however, is having a
war time boom along with its big
brothers and sisters. The line ex-
tends 172 miles from Mogadore to
Delphos and taps a rich vein Of in
dependent towns with their elevators
factories, mills, creameries and farm
depots. 1t crosses probably more
main trunk lines, to and from which
it operates branch deliveries than
any other railroad in the country.
Trunk Connections
The line has connections with:
Akron and Barberton Belt r. r..
at Akron.
Baltimore and Ohio R. r. at
Medina, Plymouth and Columbus
Grove.
Chesapeake and Ohio R. R. at
Carey.
Detroit, Toledo and Ironton r. R.
at Columbus Grove.
Erie r. r. at Akron.
New York Central r. r. at New
London, Sycamore, Carey and Arl-
ington.
Nickel Plate r. r. at Blufton and
Delphos.
Pennsylvania R. r. at Akron, New
Washington, Chatfeld and Delpnos.
Wheeling and Lake Erie r. r.
at Mogadore and Spencer.
Station Here 60 Years
A station at Bluffton has been
maintained for more than go years.
On March 9, 1881 there was incor-
porated the Cleveland, Delphos and
st. Louis r. r. with a line from
Delphos through Bluffton to Carey.
A Mr.. Powell was the first agent at
the Bluffton station.
This line was later taken over by
the Pittsburgh, Akron and Western
r. r. which in turn was taken over
by the Northern Ohio R. R. August
Ia, 1895. The Northern Ohio r. r..
was leased to the Lake Erie and
Western r. r. on October 1, 1895
for 500 years.
The Akron, Canton and Youngs-
town railroad acquired the lease
from the Lake Erie and Western
r. r. on March /, 1920 and has been
operating the line ever since.
New Road Bed
Since the acquisition of the line
by the A. C. & Y. railroad all of the
original main line rail has been re-
placed with heavier rail. In addition
the road bed has been ballasted with
thousands of cars of limestone MAX
ing a road bed comparable to many
of the large trunk lines.
This permits the use of large
locomotives of the most modern de-
sign, two of which have just recently
been placed in service.

American Defeats In
Philippines Cause
Loss Of Prestige
Continued from page y


Pannabecker together with DR.. C.
Henry Smith, professor of history and
government at the college, discussed
military, economic and political ques-
tions affecting America in the Far
East, in round table discussion.
White Prestige
The Chinese generally believe that
the Americans are invincible and that
American entry in the war would spell
a quick defeat for the Japanese de-
spite the fact that they are thousands
of miles away from the scene of ac-
ton and that the japanese are right
at home.
The prestige of the white man will,
be greatly lowered in China and it
may take many years for its restor-
alton even after the Japenese are fin
ally defeated by the Americans. The
present mal-treatment of all white
people by the Japanese in the Phili-
pines will not be understood by the
Chinese who have always accorded the
whites the highest prestige.
The treatment accorded the whites
by the sons of Nippon is likely to
impress the natives of the superiority
of the yellow race over the white.
Devotion to State
The Japanese soldier is character
lied by fanatical devotion to the
state symbolized by the emporer,
whom the people believe is lineal
descendant of the Sun goddess. The
speaker expressed no doubt concern
ing his belief in the accuracy of the
reported suicide bombings where a
soldier would give his life to make the
bombing more accurate.
In contrast to Japan, the loyalty of
the Chinese has not been to the state
but rather to the family. While this
trait is admirable from the standpoint
"a IL lids iiOL pCCll
to the building of strong military
machine, the speaker pointed out.
Also contributing to the weakness
of the army is the fact that the sol
der has not been held in high esteem
as in Japan. Since the war, however,
China has developed its military
forces into an increasingly we'll or
ganized and hard hitting unit.
Problem of Supply
The problem of supply has been an
acute one in China With all of the
strategic coastal towns in the posses
sion of the japanese the only impor-
tant source of supply has been the
Burma road which will allow only
