With the coming of Thanksgiv
ing holidays which will see ninny
students going home to see ma
and pa, it behooves me to offer a
parting word of advice. The best
egg nog recipe (and those who
seem to get around tell me that It
it the best) Is found In Harpers
Monthly of December, 1858. It was
then called Harper's New Monthly
Magazine. Here It Is: "One table
spoon of powdered sugar and one
egg for every person, carefully
beat up together. One wine-glass
of wine and. If the ladles arc many,
two wine glasses of water to each
person, The liquid to be put In a
saucepan with a bag of cinnamon.
When the egg and sugar are well
beaten," the saucepan must be
placed upon the fire. The moment
it boils take It off, and. with In
finite care, O Jcrusha! slowly and
calmly pour It into the egg and
sugar, which must be rapidly and
incessantly stirred. The article
continues with an account of a
man known In history simply as
Turner the Generous, famed for
his portages. The author says that
when Turner mixed 'em you were
either under the table at the end
of three such drinks or you were
considered a man of unusual ca
pacity. t
Whiffing aside J wish the stu
dent body a very happy vacation.
Yea, you to Cockle.
AS MAKY ANNA SEliS IT
At last the opportunity has
come for writing a real society
column, the kind they have in the
home town paper where I come
from. Maybe I'm not quite up on
my style on some of this fancy
stuff, but here rocs:
Kenneth Ellis leaves Wednesday
for a short visit In Omaha at the
home of Clement VValdron. Many
informal affairs have been plan
ned In his honor including a tur
key dinner at the Waldron home
Mr. Ellis plans to visit points of
Interest in the city of Omana,
Both young men are affiliated with
Phi Gamma Delta fraternity at the
University of Nebraska.
Mrs. L. C. Wicks, housemother
at the Gamma Phi Beta house and
her daughter Miss Priscilla Wicks,
a member of Delta Delta Delta
sorority also plan a jaunt during
vacation. They will be guests at
the T. Harrison Elmore home out
by Memorial cemetery in Fremont.
They are looking forward to this
trip with much expectation as they
have not been out of the city since
their trip to Beatrice in 1935.
Returning to Tekamah, Neb., to
be the guest of her parents, the
Walter Hopewells, is Miss Betty
Jane Hopewell. She will remain
there for several days in order to
renew past acquaintances. Miss
Hopewell is affiliated with Kappa
Kappa Gamma sorority at the
university where she is a ji-.nior
this year.
Guess I never would make good
on the home town paper, so back
to my dirt dishing, but first let
me wish you a grand Thanksgiv
ing. However you'd better watch
your step during vacation, if you
don't want to break into print
next Tuesday.
Maybe It Wii Dark.
As usual Flora Albin and Bdlie
Gray got a bit confused the other
night. They left a crowd of their
friends at Haps and dashed to the
car so Flo could get home early
and make up some lost sleep.
About a half hour later in walked
this charming couple with a very
sheepish look on their faces.
It seems that the"y had been
sitting in the car all this time
trying to turn on the ignition.
Finally Bill happened to glance
more closely at the dash board.
"Don't look now, F'.o, but I think
we're In the wrong car," vol
unteered Bill. So they had to re
turn to find out just where they
had parked the coupe. Next time
they think they might as well try
a Rolls Royce.
UNDER-RATED?
The Phi Gam's have, been r.om
plainlng that every time one of
their pledglngs Is announced the
heading runs something like this,
"They Join the Ranks." "We
didn't think we were as bad as all
that." they contend. I guess it
all depends on whether you're
pun-minded.
WORKING HER WAY.
I hear that one of the A. O.
Pi's, Nelle Uppitt, has a new
means of working her way thru
school. It seems that she has a
pair of those fluffy new gloves
tnat are creating such a sensation
on the campus which she rented
for 25 cents at the last game.
FAR INTO THE NIGHT.
There's a certain Alpha Chi
who stays out in town every time
she has a date with Elwood Pan
konln. The last time they were
together Elwood arrived at the D.
U. house at 4 o'clock in the morn
ing. Any suggestions as to a new
and different way to spend the
hours between 12:30 and 4 a. m.?
CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
One dark night not so very long
ago, the campus cop was covering
his beat as usual when he spied
someone making an attempt to
break Into the Theta kitchen. Of
course the little gal (who was Lu
cille Anderson, by the way) was
quickly yanked out by the collar
and sent In via the front door to
be met by quite a receiving line
of indignant actives. So now,
I've heard, they check up every
night to see that their straying
pledge comes in by the proper
door.
THEY WEAR THE COLORS.
Two siiiny pledge pins are worn
by Mary Jo McElroy of Ds
Moines and Marian Inheider of
Lincoln whose latest address is
the Trt Dclt house. A special
pledge servire was held for the
jirls recently.

"LIFE BEGINS
nlng Post, Nov. 2.r, 1801. "The old
country Thanksgiving," he wrote,
"then as now had Its threefold
character sportive, festal, and
religious - but two of its sportive
elements have now almost faded
away, One was the raffle always
held on Thanksgiving eve. Some
times It was held at a farmhouse,
sometime at the country store,
more often at the local butcher's
shop. Each turkey, goose or
chicken, all usually the relics of the
earlier Thanksgiving sales and
therefore tough and adamantine,
had its number of chances ticketed
upon it in sprawling figures.
A fair sized fowl had ten
chances of sixpence each; a fat
goose ran up to a dozen sixpence,
and a turkey, if fat, fair and not
40, to 30 sixpence or fewer nine
pence. The banker, if such the
proprietor of the raffles may be
called, had little tricks of his own.
Sometimes he loaded up a turkey,
fair to the eye but sinewy in flesh,
with many high priced chances.
Geese, rotund in figure but rank
and fishy from self fattening on
the minnows of their natal pond,
were nnother form of his deceit;
and he had a true Yankee trick of
watching keenly the gambling fer-
)us to ,Jcsl fmvls w,c the
frenzy ran highest.
Drew Trims Suckers.
Daniel Drew, Yankee stock
drover, tavern keeper and later
one of the best known Wall street
speculators of the mid-nineteenth
century, practiced all the shrewd
Yankee tricks and many more of
his own Invention in' the turkey
shoots that he ran. The shoots
took place behind the Bull's Head,

about where Madison square now
Is, and for turtle feasts and tur
key shoots the Bull's Head was
the leading resort. In the fall of
the year, around Thanksgiving
time, they would put up a placard
telling they were going to run a
turkey shoot and would advertise
the price for shots at different
distances.
"Perhaps these prices for shots
may look to be ruinously low,"
Daniel Drew related, "but it costs
money to fatten up n turkey.
But in these turkey shoots the
birds were not slaughtered as
handily as you might think. Be
cause on those occasions I'd man
age it so that the shooters got a
glass or two of toddy, or of whis
ky punch sweetened with currant
jelly, before the shooting began.
"Something toothsome like that
was usually a coaxer for another
glass and then the fellows couldn't
shoot straight. The liquor helped
also in another way. Because
when a fellow's got liquor aboard
he's pot valiant. He thinks he can
hit any mark at any distance,
which leads him to pay for no end
of shots, thus making more money
for mo without taking any more
of my birds."

Harvest Home.
In England the Saxon custom
of the Harvest Home is still ob
served in rural sections; Scotland
calls its day of gratitude the Kern,
and In North England the Men
supper is the feast that follows
the harvest. It was In England
where the feast days of the harv
est time were observed with such
revelry and gratitude that legis
lation had to be passed to keep
the farmers from neglecting the
crops for which they were so
thankful.
To the Hebrew the Feast of the,
Tabernacles, or of the Ingather
ing, meant the reunion of friends
and joymaklng at harvest time,
and to the Puritan the Lammas
day, on Aug. 1, meant the baking
of the first loaf of bread from the
new wheat and pious rejoicing.
The festivity of Thanksgiving is
of the most remote antiquity, but
the American day, In spite of Its
many ancient predecessors, differs
in its origin from the others,
rrlests, princes and rulers pro
claimed the Ceres and Demeter
days, the Tabernacle feasts, and
the Harvest Homes either for wor
ship or licentious pleasures, but
the American Thanksgiving was
the voluntary action of an equal
group of people.
