Editorial Comment
How About a Divorce?
A whole set of brand new methods for getting grounds for divorce has come into effect. All college boys take heed and see how many of these you can remember when the time comes for you to want a divorce.
A nice easy means is that of putting salt in her bed. A squirming wife will soon become one screaming for almony. Another bedtime method is to kick her out of bed. Enough bruises and cold nights on the floor will make any wife happy to cease to be one.
For fellows with habits, here is one that may hurt. It may make you feel bad to throw away gin but its all for the good of the cause. Be sure though, that when you throw it, it in lands in face. To clench the matter, touch her neck with the lighted end of your cigarette. This is a sure method of becoming a free man. For the old-fashioned ones, who prefer the beating means, try it with a pair of wadded pajamas.
Just as soon as he gets Democrats in all the post-offices Mr. Farley will be strong for civil protection for postmasters, too.
If one of these methods doesn't succeed, try all of them. You can then count the minutes until the shackles of a wife drops from your house—but not your pocketbook.

"The Reverend Ward Takes Yours Truly to the Woodshed." Under this heading Arthur Aull, editor of the Lamur, Mo., Democrat, recently published a story relating to the verbal speaking administered to him by the Methodist minister of the town.
Criticism Justified
After reading what seemingly is a news story —we wonder. From the story we find that the editor was invited by the minister to attend church last Sunday evening. He was told beforehand that the sermon was going to be on newspapers. The minister laid the foundation for his criticism by saying that an editor was dependent upon persons who subscribed for his paper and advertised in it. So it seemed to him that a reader or an advertiser had a right to voice his criticisms of the paper.
We agree heartily with the minister. The readers and advertisers do have a right to criticize the newspapers. After all we know that the only people who do know how to publish and edit a paper are those who are not engaged in the newspaper business. Far be it from a poor editor or publisher to know exactly what the public wants or expects of him. The newspaper business is like any other business, those on the outside are always trying to tell those on the inside what
to do. So it looks as if the minister was justified in the stand he took.
Then too it seems that the minister objects forcibly to the use of the exclamations "Jesus!" "God" and "Hell" in an article appearing in a column entitled "Poor Weak Human Nature." Not that the minister is fully convinced that there is no justification for a good well-meaning oath, under certain circumstances. But he does feel that the way these words were used in the article was as pointless as it was ill-advised and offensive. No doubt the minister has ground for his objections to these "reallamas," but after all they are part of our everyday life. Naturally the minister's doctrine prevents him from incorporating these words in his language, but he should realize that there are other things just as bad that have arisen from other professions that are also part of our speech and actions.
On the whole we agree with the minister. Let those who want to criticize come forth and they will be heard.
Scientists are men who prolong life so we can have time to pay for all the gadgets they invent.

Have Something to Say!
"You can't write without something to write about," stressed Mr. Marco Morrow, assistant publisher of the Copper Publications, in his talk to the students of the journalism department yesterday morning. He continued, "If you can find nothing to write about, it is useless to learn the technique of writing."
Every student writes—business and personal correspondence if nothing else, and every student converses with his friends. Mr. Morrow's statements may be adequately applied to the art of conversation as well as the art of writing.
Now, the question arises: Are you guilty of conversing with your friends, when you have nothing to talk about? More observation is convincing! Students, as well as older more experienced men and women, are guilty of talking about trivial matters, and using indefinite insufficient words as the means of expression. The listener, is he who can keep his mind on the conversation at all, has only a vague understanding of his friends subject of conversation.
But, look at the question from another angle. Were all the students to refrain from talking, when they had nothing to say, this campus would be anything but democratic. And that is not a satisfactory solution. Perbaps a solution is impossible, but students could try to observe something to talk and write about. And with that all "idle talk" will vanish and fewer people would be continually bored.

Question: Do you enjoy an intellectual date?
Ruth Ether Purity (trying to
me as I halted her); "Ah, now wait.
I guess occasionally, but they can be
overdone."
Bob Manninger creating in his tour in front of Ad after a tour); "My opinions are not for publication."
Betty Thomas (just flirting her life away): "Baleny! I avoid them."
John McCoy (trying to live up to Thomas expectations); "What are they?"
Marjorie Harbaugh (tending her attention away from one Giang Chu)
"It depends on what you mean by intellectual — I don't think so."
Lymn Field (the answer before he realized that he was being victimized for the sake of the dear of column) "Yah. Why?"
Wait, is it "Yah. Why?" or "Yah. Why?"
The prompt says "Preserve special characters and punctuation exactly as they appear."
So "Yah. Why?".
And "Yah. Why?".
Let's re-read the first line again.
"Lymn Field (the answer before he realized that he was being victimized for the sake of the dear of column)"
Wait, "Lymn Field" is italicized.
The word "realized" is also italicized.
"that he was being victimized for the sake of the dear of column"
Yes, that's what I see.
Final check:
"Lymn Field (the answer before he realized that he was being victimized for the sake of the dear of column)"
"Yah. Why?"
Actually, looking at the image, "Yah. Why?" is clearly written.
"Yah. Why?"
Berta White (reading Time while Mr. Giél elaborated on social disorganisation) "I like a fellow who can talk with me." This was the most of the time I have to listen.

IMPOSSIBLE?—not at all. Year
Impossible:- not at all. Year after year Long Distance telephone service grows longer in reach--harter in the time needed for making connections--higher in quality of transmission--lower in cost. Since the first of this year, Long Distance calling has been made cheaper in two ways.
1. Rates are now reduced after 7 P.M. each night on person-to-person calls to most points. As formerly, station-to-station rates are lower after 7 P.M.
2. The same low night rates now apply all day Sunday on both types of service.
Just another proof that the Bell System is constantly striving to fit telephone service more closely to your needs in every possible way.
Why not take advantage of these "Bargain Hours" to keep in closer touch with home?
