Hurley, a College Man,
>Vins Essay Contest
Eighteen of Thirty-five First
Prizes Given to College
Graduates.
University students and profes-
tors vol a majority of the prizes for
ssays on proper methods of keeping
rood.
A college man—Dudley L. Harley.
Lehigh, '30— has won over many thou-
tands of'entrants in a national eesav
:ontest for a S10,000 first prize. Har-
ey, whose home is in Martinsbarg,
(V. V'a., is a candidate for a Rhodes
icholarship from his home state, and
sxpects to use his new wealth in fur-
Bering his education and his ambition
;o be a writer.
Harley Wins Despite Handicaps. '
The essay which won the contest for
she Lehigh undergraduate was com-
posed, -written and bound into bo
form during an enfojp^rfextension of
nis summer vacation, while both
wrists were in splints. The wrists
fc-ere broken in a fall from his horse,
Friday, Sept. 13, and the fact that he
:ould not return to school led to his
decision to enter'the contest. This is
not the first contest he was won, how-
sver; his education has been furthered
by two scholarships won in essay com-
petitions sponsored by the American
Chemical Society* r
Altogether 8,35 prices, totaling $25.-
D00, were awarded in the contest. En-
tries were limited to 400 words, and
were judged on t®fe basis' of knowledge
of the subject, personal experiences
shown, originality of presentation and
tlarity.
Results Are Gratifying.
"The results of the contest were ex-
tremely gratifying to us," said C. E.
Greenwood, vice chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the council, "be-
cause they show Conclusively that the
nation is awakening to the. import-
ance of keeping food properly both
from the standpoint of health and as
a question of household ecenomics.
"This Interest has been much need-
ed. For, although America stands at
the very head of all the nations in its
its methods of caruag for food, it is
neverthless true''tnat even in this
country more than one-fifth of the
homes are without any refrigerating
equipment, and less than 25 per cent
of those which have refrigerators of
any kind have really efficient refrig-
eration even part of the year. Yet,
with weather bureau reports showing
that on a country-wide average' only
19 days out of the year have out-
doors temperature which are sa/e for
foods, constant refrigeration is nec-
essary to keep foodstuffs at their
best."
Many College-Trained Win.
HarhEjf's success was not only one
of the university-trained. Of the first
thirty-five prizes, eighteen were
awarded to college graduates, and two

Chairs Behave in

even the great Sherlock Holmes. For '

watching and working .^i the solu- j

i puzzle them.

unknown. Although a trap was set I
and someone was put on watch on a j
turday night, therofwas.no move-1
ment^made until after the watchers j
gave, up in despair and went away
The next ..morning the chairs were
found in most peculiar and unusual
positions.

Peculiar Formation.
But sometime between dusk and
dawn of the next day a mysterious
event takes place. • Something hap-
pens to the chairs. On "entering the
living room early Sunday morning,
one can easily see that they have been
t) .
at their old tricks and have moved
again. Instead of remaining in that
friendly semi-circle, they have re-
tired to the corners of the room in
pairs. And what is even queerer,
they haVe turned their backs to each
other. Two chairs can be seen in
every corner, placed so close together
that sometimes their arms are linked.
And they've carefully turned their
backs on tho center of the room.
What a mysjfery! Do-chairs havj
feeling? Do they have hearts a
souls to draw theifi fo each other in
pairs? Do they really exist as living
objects in that intangible realm call-
ed the "World of Black Magic?"
"Oh, chairs, if you could only
speak and help solve the great mys-"
tery. Do you become alive; do you
walk? How do you get that way?"

five months every tenth year, and
Americans are attracted to theSe per-
formances in increasing numbers each
time they arc given at Obcrammer-
gau.
The "Passion Play" will be given
every Sunday next May and June, and
twice weejcly the following threfcT
months. «'
* . Village Interesting.
Besides its religious significance,
tlie "Passion Play" serves to4nteres"t
the tourist because of the hospitality
of the villagers to the visitors to
Oberammergau. Nearly the entire
population of this quaint village,
which nestles in the foothills of the
Bavarian Alps, participates in the per-
formances, and it is the custom that
each spectator be housed by a player
the night preceding the performance.
The "Passion Play," a dramatiza-
tion of the life of Christ, has been
given every tenth year since the
plague of 1633. During this year the
citizens of Oberammergau vowed that
they would re-enact the life of Christ
every tenth year as a thanksgiving
offering for having been delivered of
the inflictive evil.
Religious Nature.
The play is a gigantic manifesta-
tion of religious worship and |he
moral character of each actor is con-
sidered as #'ell as his histrionic abil-
ity. TfieSvhole village lives for this
production. The inhabitants spend
their time at fashioning crucifixes,
rosaries and images of the Saints for
disposal to the tourists who pass
through their village year by year.
The "Passion Play" portrayals are
the epitome of emotional acting.
Each player puts his' very soul into
his part. Participation in one of the
leading character roles is the life's
achievement of each player.

gave vent to her feelings by a half-

her head would nod dangerously and
the reporter would be overcome by
the fear that she would actually go
to sleep.

a very small and demure girl. She
