How ever she jived several boys down th(ere that she didn’t even know. I won’t divulge her name in this column, but girls let’s not call the Tuxedo unless we have a definite reason or a certain person to talk to. Let the boys have some peace once in a wdiile. Do you mind boys if we girls call there? MANNERS As I sat in the Drug store Sun day —A certain Chick stepped :n as she stepped in some girls who were sitting in a booth began to make fun of this Chick. Girls please don’t be such critics be cause very few girls can afford to make fun of someone else. I am sure not any of you would like to have someone make fun of you,— so please be considerate of others and just offer constructive critic ism if necessary. If you don't I will be forced to write your nam es in this column and let every one know Who Omaha’s critics are. BEST DRESSED BOY OF WEEK: Chauncey Barnette was all drap ed to a fine.

I want the people to know the men responsible for this tourna ment being a success. Boyd Gal loway, our outstanding leader, ! must be given a thanks of deep appi-eciation- I thank him per sonally myself because I am fam This Week In Religion and Thought BY ROBT. L. MOODY Christianity’s Foundation Every institution or system of knowledge and experience has some source of authority. Each branch of science has its found ation. It is naive to think that theology would not have reliable authority. But there are those to ' day who doubt this fact without careful study and open minds. The Sunday school lesson for the week deals with the Holy Spir it’s guidance in the writing of the New Testament. Anyone ■who will consider the writings of the Bible, especially the New Testa ment, can see that man, unaided, would not have written the Bible. The gospel Is not man’s inven tion. The very character of gospel is wholly opposed to the drift of human pendencies. Its supreme aim is the tranformatiun of human nature. It runs con trary to the whole course of hu man life and surpasses all the ef forts of human ingenuity. It reveals God’s plan of salvation and His way of life men. We may be very positive that “all scripture is 1 given by the inspiration of God.” Just as we accept the Constitution of the United States as the foun dation lawf of our land, so the Bible is the foundation and authority for all that is truly Christian. ilar with his work in our club. Saybert Hanger our president, is another great leader. His knowledge and understanding mak es it very easy to work with him. We have enjoyed it. and I am sure he has. Thank you, “Penny” Murray, John Simms, Bill Davis, B. Cald well, Thomas Chandler, ‘‘Buster” King, Dr. Solomon. Jesse Hutten, F.nd Joe Owens; thank you again gentlemen, without your help we would have been lost. Honor these men Omaha, they are your sons, encourage thpm on to great er heights. Golf, as I have said before, I believe is the greatest sport on earth. Out in the beautiful sun shine, the green grass, the fresh air and many other advantages thpt sends the persons playing on to greater health. Many of us can only enjoy golf a few hours a week, but when we finish, we realize we have 'lived a beautiful day. The more the merrier, so come on out and enjoy it with us. We cordially ask you to attend the Central States Tournament and help us along with) your support. Thank God. yes thank Gad, that we can still enjoy a few hours of real life.

[ Walker’s Preparations [ I 1 L * “I use Mme. C. J. Walker's preparations exclusively be cause I get results from them that I am unable to get from any other preparation,” stated a well known business woman the other day. The secret of the remarkable success of Mme. C. J. Walker’s preparations is in the fact that they were blended by the late , Madam C. J. Walker to reach certain definite conditions of the I hair, skin and scalp, and today, 1 after over thirty-five years on the market, they are growing increasingly popular, and not withstanding the fact that the Company has always refused to reduce the price on these goods, they are still in demand every where. ^ * Mme. C. J. Walker’s Glossine. although more than thirty-five years on the market, is still the leader in its field. The reason for this is because it not only serves as a scalp oil, but it gives the hair that silky sheen and natural gloss that is the delight of every woman. Mme. C. J. Walker’s Brou n Face Powder is not just anoth^ r Face Powder, but is the result of years of experimenting to pro duce the perfect blend to impart : a velvetlike softness and at the same time cooling and refresh ing. Just the thing for these hot days. the Mme. C. J. Walker’s won derful preparations are sold by Walker Beauticians and Drug Stores everywhere, or you can write The Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg.
