ABUSING THE BALLOT
It was but a few years ago that the American voter went to the polls and by an overwhelming ballot decreed that the use, sale and manufacture of intoxicating liquors should be discontinued within a certain period throughout the entire country. The whole population, at least the thinking class, heralded this action as a great step forward. And the law went into effect.
Pick up any newspaper today, however, and nine times out of ten of the headlines on the first page of one of the headlines on the first page of violation of the prohibition laws. Very recently the larger cities of the country have one by one discovered that their metropolitan police forces have been the rankest offenders, and the newspapers are full of exposures of huge "whisky rings" even within federal circles.
The humorous magazines of the country have grown fat on the great American prohibition joke. During the past summer, all of the hardware and plumbing concerns in a first class city in our neighboring state, Missouri, advertised and displayed in their windows a wide assortment of paraphanda for home-brewing, with which they included a full set of recipes for the production of liquors with a "kick." And the sale of these outfits was enormous.
All of which brings us down to a peculiar psychological problem. Why should the American people so heartily indorse and support a law, even to the extent of amending the Nation's constitution, and then, once the law is definitely decided upon, set to work with all of its justly celebrated ingenuity, to devise ways and means of breaking that very law? Judge for yourself whether it be the result of our nationally characteristic liking to do something which is forbidden; whether it is the outcroping of any of a score of other hidden but powerful tendencies of our people. What ever it may be, the American people today stand by their own actions convicted of having voted one way and then acted the other.
WINTER EPIDEMICS
The annual round of epidemics of throat and kindred diseases has already made its appearance this year, beginning with diphtheria. Why there has always been this cycle of winter ailments is a question, but whether it shall continue is a much more important one. Science is evidently doing all it can toward handling the cases that come to its attention and toward checking spread of the disease after it has appeared.
Science is also trying by publicity campaigns to show people how best to take care of themselves to ward off trouble. Many people do not take the warnings seriously and do not heed the suggestions. Many of them say it's too much bother to do all those things,
others of vigorous health laugh and declare these precautions unnecessary for them. Yet they owe it not only to themselves but to others to take heed
Most students on the Hill scorn the idea of wearing even toe rubbers on rainy days; they think nothing of a run through the rain with no umbrella or raincoat; they borrow or pick up a pencil and thoughtlessly stick the end of it into their mouths; heated from dancing they rush to a window and sit in a draft trying to cool off. If they "get by" without a cold or an attack of some disease, they think they are "tough enough to stand it." They are, in many cases, at least for a time, but they are consistently and steadily undermining their health, rapidly weakening their resistance so that when an epidemic comes they are easy victims.
It should be much pleasanter to go through the winter and boast a minimum of illness. We should make that boast a reality this winter by using all preventative measures possible, for the common good of all.
THE INSPIRATION OF THE AFTER-DINNER HOUR
It is a happy opportunity we have—this going to college. Perhaps we do not feel, at all times, the throb of exhilation which may well come from it. But the best way to realize the abundance of life here—to get an inspiration from the association of twenty-five hundred students who are all just in the fringe of the broadest manhood and womanhood which our nation can produce—the best way to get the thrill of this group life is stand apart from the scene a little and view it reflectively.
Walk alone through the student district in the evening just after dinner time. Pass the houses, one after the other, and look in through the open
windows at the laughing, singing,
chattering folks within. Here a bunch is engaged in repartee, and the conversational thrusts and parries are made, shouts of glee burst from the bystanders. There a couple is dancing to the music unloosened from the parlor phonograph, and they sway gracefully across the room they pass another couple who are playing some game at a table. In yonder house a fraternity song is be-
by forty hearty voices. On the other side of the street scattered forms appear on a dimly lighted porch and from them conces the drone of continuous conversation. The silence of the evening is more boisterously broken now by the passing of a wee Ford speedster that whirls its riders, a natttles boy and a bob-brained girl, indiscredundly down the street.
Walk the length of the town and you will find many other such sights and sounds. They are there every evening. And they all make one say to himself, "What a happy, wholesome time we are having here, the thirty-five hundred of us!"
Plain Tales from the Hill
' The psychology class was being given some psychology tests yesterday. The test consists of the instructor saying some word such as "house". The students then say the first word that comes to their minds inspired by the instructor's word, such as roof, porch, etc. During the course of the class period yesterday the class was given the word "stomach," to which a student gibly returned to "Pete Reed."
Babies have been left on the door step of private homes and on the threshold of children's homes, but never before has one been left in front of a fraternity house. The Sigma Chi's hold the distinction.
Monday morning about 6 o'clock one of the boys returning on an early train happened upon a small basket on the front porch. On top was
The Sigma Chi Fraternity.
I love little Harriet. She is very dear to me, but coal is too. Harriet's home life has never been very happy, although her father frequently is, so that I am very anxious that you treat my darling kindly. Trusting that you will make a slick gal of Harriet.
Kind Sirs:
1 remain.
- Her Beheaven Mother:
Hurriet, in the form of a kelpie doll, was made and looked hale and hearty. Everything is being done for her future betterment and the boys are nursing fond hopes that she will make a good cook.
I remain,
  Her Bereaved Mother."
