There seems -to be a "rage"
among- the girls in the dormitory—
having blistered heels and sore toes.
Many, of the in were seen about the
campus -wearing everything- from
mother-hubbards, two sizes too
large for them, to arch supports
. and other corrective shoes. I don't
blame them-—I have a pair now and
although they aren't very pretty,
they feel great. Jimmie Widman
and Fay.e Bell have a "huge" pair,
each like the other's, at t|ie' least
their toes can't be found once they
got in them. Eugenia hasn't any
yet, but we will win, her' over soon-
er or later. I'm tired of seeing her
limp around. The moral to all of
■ this is to get good shoes1 and get
fhem big enough to walk in.
I haven't told you anything about
the "lovers" in'a long1 time. Well,
there's a comparatively hew case
now and it's getting really serious.
Ked Dearing and Katheryn Rogers.
No one has s.een either of them
trifling on the other and that's a
bad sign.
' Everyone went to church Sunday.
Something unusual, because moat
pf the girls sleep or do their week-
ly washing and Ironing on that
day.
Tony1 Sarg's Marionettes were a
big success, and some of the stu-
dents have' expressed their ambi-
tion to be operators of puppet
shows. Well, it isn't so easy as be-
ing radio announcers—and Carl
Hardin can vouch for that!. He went
behind stage to see the "workins"
and came teck with—"(Josh, I don't
gee how they manage to keep all
those -wires untangled."—Yours as
ever, Tee.
CO-EDS AND CADETS ENJOY

J. E. THIMBLE
, ■ Stejjienville, Texa? .
'.'For eight hundred yea;:sj-
throygh successive generations, the
name of Washington, or de Wessy-
ngton, has been known for the va-
lor, chivalry, high code of honor,
and military distinction of those
who bore it. Knights and noblemen
of the Old World, and citizens of
the New, each in their turn,
through service and achievement,
have given to it a notable place in
history." Our own George Wash-
ington has added more honor to
the name. ' ■ y
George Washington was the son
of Mary Ball Washington, who
while still a young woman was left
a widow with six small children.
Under the heavy responsibility of
her young family, the duty of
training them, getting them edu-
cated, and managing their resour-
ces to furnish an income for their
support developed in Mrs. Wash-
ington a certain reserve dignity
and an austerity of manner that
frequently awed those of her own
family. This is (expressed in the
words of Lawrence Washington of
Chotank, who said:
"I was often there (at the
Washington home) with George,
his playmate, schoolmate, and
young man's companion. Of* the
mother, ' I was ten times ■ ■ more
afraid than I ever was of my own
parents. She awed me in the midst
of kindness, for she was, indeed,
truly kind-1 have often, been pres-
ent with her sops, proper tall fel-
lows, too, and we were all mifte as
ftiice; and even now, when time
has whitened my locks, and I am
the grandparent of a second gen-
eration, I could not behold that re-
markable woman without feelings
it is impossible to describe. Who-
ever has s^en that awe-inspiring
air and manner so characteristic
m the Father of his Qountry, will
remember the matron as she ap-
peared when the presiding genius
of her well-ordered household, com-
manding and being obeyed." At the
marriage of George and Martha
Washington'his mother sent gifts
and good wishes to her son and
daughter-in-law.
• George'and Martha Washington
went to Mount Vernon to live soon
after their marriage. Mrs. Wash-
ington was a widow with two chil-
dren, John Parke and Martha Cus-
tis, who all through their lives
were treated by their childless'
stepfather just as if they were his
own. Both the children were in
delicate health and caused their
mother much anxiety. Just before
Patsy, as the daughter was called,
was sixteen, she' died. John Parke
became discontented with school.
The real reason for his discontent
was. that he was in love with a
beautiful Virginia girl, N.ellie Cal-
vert. The family was opposed tp
the marriage on ac,count of their
extreme youth, but the two were
married, and weijt to live at Ab-
ingdon pp the Potomac. Martha
Washington was j;oo grief-stricken
over th.e death of her daughter to
attend the wedding; however, she
wrote the following letter:
"God took from me a daughter
when the June roses were bloom-
ing. He has now given me another
daughter, about her agef when
winter winds are blowing to warm
my heart again. I am happy as one
so afflicted and so blejst can be.
Pray receive my benediction and a
wish that you may long be the liv-
ing daughter to your affectionate
Mother, M. Washington."
George Washington never- had
any children of his own,, but he-
was kind to his step-children and
step-grandchildren whom he had to
rear, for they were left fatherless
at an early age.
S The relationship of George
Washington with his step-children
and step-grandchildren might be
summed up by amending the quo-
tation, '-'God left him children that
he might be a father to his coun-
try by adding to it* and a fond
parent and guardian to the chil-
dren of others.''
The 'eathen in his blindness bows
down to wood an' stone;
'E depn't obey no orders unless
they is 'is own;
The 'eathen in his blindness must
end' where he began,
But the backbone of the Army is
.■ ,the non-commisuioned man! .

EVILS OF DRINK?
During the Thirty Years' War
the town of RothenbUTg, Germany,
wajj captured by General Tilly af-
ter a desperate battle,-The general
was infuriated over the desperate
resistance the town had shown and
he decided to have the town, coun-
cil hanged. After the wives and
daughters of the town councilmen
had pleaded so earnestly for the
men's lives, the eccentric old. gen-
eral promised to hang only four
men.- Lots were to be cast to de-
termine which four should die. This
plan was refused by the loyal coun-
cilmen, who said that all or none
should die.
At this point of the argument a
three-tall container of the town's
best wine was sent in and the gen-
eral and his aids, celebrating their
victory, attempted to empty it.
They failed. The wine must have
gone to the general's head, for he
announced that if a man could be
found who could empty the con-
tainer at one draft, the council
would be spared. At first no one
offered to try. The thing looked
impossible. Finally ex-Burgomas-
ter George Nusch said he would
try. He did—and fell senseless af-
ter the last drop. He suffered no
permanent ill effect, however, and
Tilly kept his word. The city of
Rothenburg still stages an annual
Whitsuntide party in honor of
George Nusch, who took thft big-
gest drink in history'that his com-
rades might live.
J. A. P.'s MEET SATURDAY

CHEMISTRY LAB IS CLEANED
UP WITHOUT WOMAN'S AID
This seems to be general cleanr
up week around the campus, Ev-
ery department is very busy get-
ting things straight for the see-,
ond semester's work.
Last Friday afternoon Mr. R. L,
McColljim, professor of chemistry,
was having a general clean up of
t}ie 301 and 302 chejnistry labora-
tory. He had three jboys diligently
working for him. When a girl
happened in at the time of this
most diligent labor he remarked
that they were having a woman-
less house cleaning. He said that a
man could get the lab clean whiie
he was arguing with .a woman as
to how it should be done. Everyone
should go, over and see the spot-
lessly clean; chemistry lab after it
has been cleaned without the aid
of a wpman.
The signs, of general clean-up
week have even reached the Dean's
office. Last week Miss Victoria
Looney, secretary to the Dean,
most gratefully gave up her office
fpr two days while the painters did
their bit to make 'it a brighter
place in which to work.
. The walls of Miss Looney's of-
fice have been painted white and
some new pictures have been hung
ort the wall. The room looks much
better and things ■ are looking very
bright and .cheerful in there since
it has been painted.
