The trl-monthly notice Hint all nym clothes niiiHt be removed from the lock er room in the armory has been posted by Jack Host. This means Hint Jack will start next week on his quarterly nll-roiind cleanup of the locker rooms and Kymnasiiim. Provided, of course, that he is strong enough to tackle the job. For be it known that Jack is now BulTerinK from a bad cold con tracted the first of the week, and has not been able to report at his olhce since that time. He sent down word yesterday that he. thought he would be all right next week, and that the work of preparing for the clean-up would go merrily on. The task in question requires that the whole armory be gone through and thoroughly disinfected. In order to make it a success, all clothes must be removed from the lockers so that the latter can come in for their share of the cleaning Last spring seven teen stdents failed to heed the order of removal, and the janitors therefore found it necessary to cut open each of the seventeen lockers. The notice reads: "All gym clothes must be washed and taken out of the lockers during the holidays, because the lockers will be disinfected. Turn in all football clothes to Jack." Karrlrnn ftamptui Kajifru I HAVE YOU READ 14? Fourteen Greatest Books of Fiction Small Circulation at Public Li braries Fiction Reading Out of Style. "The man or woman who lives to be fifty years old and has not read two or three dozen of the greatest workB of fiction from many lands has missed much," says Prof. J. M. Green wood, superintendent of the Kansas CMty schools. He has picked out four teen books which he believes every one should read. Don Quixote, Cervantes; The Man With the Hroken Ear, About; The Downfall, Zola; The Titan, Richter; Beside' the Honnie Hrier Hush, Mac Laren; The New Comes, Thackeray; David Harum, Westcott; The Heart of Midlothian, Scott; Daniel Deronda, George Eliot; David Copperfield, Dick ens; Wllhelm Meister, Goethe; Gul liver's Travels, Swift; Les Miserables, Hugo; The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne. Consider the "fourteen greatest books of fiction," as selected by Pro fessor Greenwood. These books cir culate very little at the public libra ries. If such Is true the fact Is to be deplored. Freshmen at the Washington uni versity, St. Louis, have very strenu ous rules to obey. They are forbid den to wear mustaches and, derbys, and even the pleasure of taking a lady friend to games. Ex. The Northwestern swimming team will take a trip oaBt during semester vacation. If present plans materialize. Since the Purple natators defeated Yale last year and won the American title, they are desirous of entering the enemy's territory and repeating the performance. Ex. Romance of a Library Table. Oh. If n library table could only talk and tell those delicious secrets that are concealed in Its modern breast. There is one table at the library that has a (lurfy reputation with the be ribboned hats and smart sport-coats that surround it the, draperies and furs Ilia! pile its broad bosom, and tin- general air of gayety that em braces (shuts) it in an atmosphere all its own Uesides there Is a delightful romance going on with two of its habitees. The interested observer sees a black head bent near a black head and the fair one impervious to side long glances. There is something touching in that spectacle, those two ardent spirits, imbibing culture Bide by side with no need of speech except the silent communion of the soul. Then as the big gong sounds, we see them quicken back to life again, and the brown-striped mackinaw paces out in protecting attitude besides the gray coat. The Gentle Art of Spoofing as Dis closed by the Why Sighs. In the gentle art of spoofing. We've been told that we excel, So we'll tell our little secrets Just to show we wish you well. First of all, select some object And be sure, she's all the class. Then we (stand) lean around the railings And wait to sec her pass. Now's the time to use expression So we give our famous stare, And the girl is stony-hearted That won't give and take our dare. So we wander round the campus Till we meet her once or twice (All this careless reconnoitering Adds the right amount of spice.) Then we get an introduction Through some kind-intentioned friend And we start right in aworking To gain our long-sought end. It is well to tell her firstly, How you've beard of her before, Make her think that she is deadly, Ask her( what) all the (frat)) pins she wore, Ask her where she learned her spoof ing Tell her she is hard to beat (It is well to drop in at Hector's For a little bite to eat) Take her up and down the Broadway. Guide her with your gentle hand. All those little looks and pressures Never fail our fish to land. It Is wise to sigh and stammer, Gazing in her eyes of blue, (And we've found It pays to rush her With a Lyric date or two.) Do you get our little Bystem, It has worked and pulled us through So we'd (like to have you try It) With the best of luck to you. Kersher. What they'll get, when they come fussing To a dance or to a show. For a Lyric date, owe nothing PosBlbly with two or three, You might aBk tho youth to dinners, Break him In society, Orpheum Is good material Pay him back with one good chance Ho will ask you to another Any way, you take a chance. For a steady, honest fussing And a Christmas present, too, I would take him to the Formal To show my heart wns (rue. This is the all round Bystem And, It discounts all the rest. But, remember all the game's you plv The Policy's the best. THEATRES GIRLS CELEBRATE YULETIDE Members of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet Vary the Order of Their Regular Meeting by a Christmas Dinner.

It is best to go by rule, And we sadly need a standard In this all society school. We poor girls have dates aplenty But our debts wo huve to pay And It always Is a question Who to have, and in what way? I havee planned a little schedule So the boys will always know N. F.
