These two things are. reading from left to right, a pipe and a bushman's coat, sometimes called the beer-jacket. This is not an ad vertisement disguised as reading matter, hut merely a commentary. The pipe has long been a neces sary bit of impedimenta for the joe who wishes it known that he attends college. Tt makes very lit tle difference whether tobacco is used or not, the idea of the whole tiling is to give atmosphere. The ripe, however, while it may appear to be merely a means of getting some satisfaction out of life, is a very good thing to have along when engaged in arguing at length or when forced to carry on a conversation with a perfect stranger, who, nine times out of eight, is also a pipe-smoker. Pipe for Points. It is a known fact that the fellow who has a pipe can easily get the best of a pipelcss oppo nanet in a heated argument. When logic falls, or the pipe smoker thinks that he is failing to flet his point across, he has merely to curve his thumb and fingers around the warm bowl Of his tobacco-burner, pull the pipe from his mouth and point the stem at his opponent as he reiteiates his arguments. If he wishes to make sure of his point or if his opponent is made of pretty strong stuff, he has mere ly to tap the stem of the pipe against the other man's chest, mile in a sardonic manner, cas ually exhale a cloud of smoke, and push on to greater exposi tory heights. Quite often, a very stunning ef fect is achieved at the very out set of an argument or discussion by proper use of the pipe. The question is propounded and the other mnn gives his side of th. view. After he has declared him self, he may ask the pipe- smoker bis opinion or reasons why he doesn't agree with the statements made. This is a crucial time and must be carefully handled. The adroit philosopher will carefully brush a fleck off his trousers. U.ke a long pull at his pipe in every evident satisfaction, gaze at fin ceiling, and hold that pose for at least two minutes. Then he re moves the pipe affectionately and slowly blows the rmoke out. Now If the other man had no pipe, lie has nothing to do but watch the movements of the pipe lover. And if the movements are done by an expert, the impression given will he that of infinite wisdom and knowledge. The slow exhaling of smoke nt the end will convince the other man that an oracle is about to speii k. The best points are brought out and the best orations given in bull sessions by those who smoke pipes. They, with the aid J of their pipes, seem to know all about everything. Actually, of course, they undoubtedly don't, but the Invincible pipe makes their opinions seem like pearls of wisdom. Another point responsible for the popularity of the pipe is the fact that it proves a common ground upon which to base a con versation. "How did you break in your pipe?" asks college joe numbrr one of another joe whom he does not know hut has to talk with when they are thrown together by accident. Then, if the other joe is a pipe lover, they are good for hours of talk. One method will be compared with another, one pipe with another, one tobacco with another, etc. So much for the pipe. Beating About the Bushman, The bushman's coat is the latest fad In man's apparel. It seems that the first thing a big game hunter thinks of when he sets out on a hunt Is a bush man's coat. The chain of logic used by college students then, is rather obvious. Big game equals bushman's coat. Big shot equals big game. Okay, If I get a bushman's coat, I'll be a big shot. Consequently, the stores are selling them easier than the Canadian merchant told diapers to Papa Dionne. A bushman's coat has one characterise. It standardizes the shape of the backs of oollege Joes. Everybody looks alike from the back and when you yell "Hey, Charlie," at the back of a beer jacket you think Is Inhabited by a friend, It Is quite apt to turn out to be a perfect stranger. Well, anyway, "we can come to one conclusion: Resolved, that the typical college joe prist wear a beer jacket and use a pipe.

Preparing for Dance Keeilal Takes More Than Torso Bending More activity was included in preparing for the Orchesis recital to be given Saturday than just re hearsals in bending the torso. Cos tumes had to be made, dances had to be composed and Interestingly enough, music had to be written. It has been the custom of Orcheils to use the more popular works of great masters for accompaniment to their recitals, but this year three girls, June Day, Jane Goetz, and George Anna Theobald have com posed neHiiy half of the music to be used for the dances. Althought their original mimic might not receive the critical praise of the school of mimic, they exerted just a much energy as many a recognized master might have done In composing It. It is hard to write accompaniment for the modern dance because the mu sic must emphasize only the mood which the dancer is trying to create, accentuate the dancer's rhythm, and not take the attention of the audience from the dance. If the composer were allowed to let his artistic temperament dominate such music, say the girls, It would be an easier tank for him to write, but as he muBt subordinate himself to the dancer, he finds it difficult.

CSpecial.) You can tell how a hog's feeling or how mad he is by looking at the curl in his tall, says C. P. "Hog" Thompson, swine spe cialist at the Oklahoma A. and M. college. "That isn't as silly as It sounds, either," Thompson says, "because it's been scientifically proved that if a pig is not in good health, his tail straightens out, while if he is in good health, it normally curls tightly." Rage will affect the hog tail's permanent wave as much as 111 health, however. When the pig la irked or refused his way, the tail will droop as much as if he were ill. A.S.C.E. 10 SEE FILMS W. F.
