Bring Along Your Sun Glasses When You Come To This Exhibit
The tie that blinds is a more appropriate expression for the display of the favorite ties of various University professors now on exhibit on the third floor of Frank Strong hall. The array of color is in itself dazzling without even considering the patterns. Among the 15 or 20 ties shown, there is one with a design of blue and white stripes against a maroon
running through the pattern. His wife must have been responsible for that one—surely the Chance'lor wouldn't have done it on purpose.
The man on the Hill noted for his ties has a display all his own. Dr. R. H. Wheeler's four ties are made up of every color imaginable and look like final week nightmares. He admits that his taste may have been spoiled by the gifts of gay ties he receives.
Prof. John Ise contributed a Scotch plaid. He says he has no preference in ties he except he likes them loud.
Fred Ellsworth is the owner of a tie which (to be blunt) looks like a piece of red, blue, green, and yellow elav soushaped together.
If Dr. Canuteson wants to scare students away from the hospital let him wear his favorite tie. It is a design of fire-spitting red and yellow dragons against a blue background.
Most of the other men contributed silk and wool plaid ties. Dr. Wood-ruff prefers plain dark red and Dean Lawson likes plain colors.
Dean Lawson stated that so far as he was concerned "one tie is about as good as another, but I have several changes."

QUIRKS in the NEWS
Almost Even
East Chicago, Ind. (UP)—Mrs. E. B. Bowser netted a $2 lost-and-found loss when she returned a purse containing $85 recently. She was tempted to keep the purse because she at first thought it contained $25, almost equal to the sum she had lost shortly before her find. When she discovered $85 tucked in an envelope she returned it to Mrs. Bryce Whitaker of Hammond, who gave her a $25 reward. Mrs. Bowser's original loss was $27.
Fort Wayne, Ind. (UP)—Fred L. Smith of Kendallville had a rude awakening the other night. A 16-year-old Chicago youth had difficulty in awakening him and took off Smith's shoes, poured lighting fluid on his socks and touched a match to them. Smith went to the hospital with second and third degree burns and the juvenile authorities took the youth into custody.
Plays With Fire
Pays in Jap Currency
Worchester, Mass. (UP)—A man entered a tavern here recently and had several drinks. As he was leaving he slapped a bill on the bar and proprietor Frank Moriarty gave him change for a $10 bill. Later Moriarty discovered the bill represented $10 in Japanese invasion currency. He took the matter to police who advised him to wear his glasses oftener.
Bed Maker Counts
Chicago (UP)—Mrs. Mary Wojtaszek, who has been a maid at the Edgewater Beach hotel since it opened in June, 1916, estimates that she has made 130,000 beds—not counting the fact that she worked at other hotels before joining the staff of the Edgewater Beach.
Decatur, Ind. (UP)—Mrs. Elgie May Simmons revealed the bare facts of her married life when she filed suit for divorce. Her husband, Emery Simmons, had given her only one dress—priced at 97 cents—during the six years of their marriage, she said.
Budding Song Writers Call Her Day or Night to Write the Notes
New Orleans. (UP)—It is 3:45 am., and Mrs. Wessie Brenu Farrell of New Orleans is sleeping soundly when the quiet of her bedroom is shattered by the telephone's ring.
A drunk? A prankster? A nut?
"In my studio." Mrs. Farrell says, "composers usually warm up for me before delivering their masterpieces. The warming up may consist of anything from a pep talk (which assures me beyond a doubt that the song is another hit) to a few deep-breathing exercises and calisthenics.
'Next the composer says coyly, You know, I don't have much of a voice, so don't judge my song by my singing,'
Oh, no. It's just Mrs. Farrell plying her trade. She reaches for a pencil and pad, and transcribes the phrases onto a sheet of music.
"Sometimes there's still more warming up with 'Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight?' and 'The Face on the Barron Floor.'"
"Eventually we get to the customer's song. Usually it's a steal from some juke box number."
Mrs. Farrell makes her living putting songs on paper for amateur writers. She's a graduate of the Loyola university school of music, and is considered an expert at making songs out of the frog croaks of frustrated Berlins and Carmichaelis
But she figures it's all in the game, and smiles pleasantly about it. Many of her customers don't know that Mrs. Farrell will take songs over the phone, so they go about their business whistling or humming their brainstorms until they can visit her studio. They can't write music themselves, and they're afraid they'll forget the song.
Mrs. Farrell doesn't exactly welcome those middle - of - the - night calls, because she's the mother of a two-year-old son whose wails are far from musical when he's awakened.
She answers with a muffled "hello," and the voice at the other end of the wire says, "I've got one. Take it down before I forget it. Tra-Ia-la-lum dee, dum, dum dum." $ ^{ \textcircled{1}} $
Mrs. Farrell, a sharp lassie as you may have guessed, breaks the amateur song writers down into these types:
1. The patriotic songwriter who wants alternate notes written in red,
--white, and blue ink.

VERONICA LAKE
DON'T TELL What Mildred Pierce Did!
3. The hustler, who comes in with a set of lyrics and then taps his foot nervously, expecting Mrs. Farrell to compose the music on the spot.
2. The fickle genius who sings a song. Repeats it for emphasis, changing it about. And continuing to change it with every singing, not realizing that a single change is being made.
4. The average customer; who knows he's no genius but wants to be the "life of the party."
