be to break the monotony or may
be just trying to make the other
parly jealous."

Lois Cowden really meditated
on this. "More interesting. See
what kind of raise they can get
out of the other member of the

no, Joe. Hadn't you heard?
Annajean Ray "It's just plain

Of Woes Ala Levy.
I have a very pessimistic friend,
Levy, who has a curious knack
for speaking in poetical arias. He
gave me the sorrows of one belad
en, yesterday.
Once upon a midnight eerie,
while I crammed 'till I was weary,
over a thick and boring textbook,
never cracked before while I sat
there, boning, boning, suddenly I
heard a moaning, as of someone
softly groaning close behind my
chamber door. "Tis the wind," I
muttered. "Moaning right outside
my chamber door- only this and
nothing more."
Ah, distinctly I remember, it
was ever since September I had
planned to study English, French
and Constitutional Law. And I
found out to my sorrow, that in
vain I tried to borrow notes from
classmates, for tomorrow I had
exams, three or four. Finals in
three courses, which I should have
studied long before. Was this jus
tice? I saw "Naw!"
And the silken, sad uncertain
rustling of my flannel bathrobe
chilled me- filled me with goose
pimples I had never felt before; so
to stop the heated straining of my
nerves I sat. and draining seven
I quarts of beer, I settled down to
craf and cram some more. To
learn of bank notes and commis
' sions and principles of Malthus'
j law things I never knew before.
Presently my breath grew
i stronger; hesitating then no long
er, "Sure.-' said I. or Madame, beat
j it. and by solitude restore. Can't
j you see I've got to study? Have a
heart and be a buddy, or my fu
i ture will be muddy- so keep mov
' ing I implore. Go and do your
I groaning elsewhere, not beside my
chamber door." Then forgetting
j etiquatte I swore.
But hte groaning came still
! louder, so I flung some talcum
' powder on my four days growing
i beard and slowly stumbling to
wards the door. "Nuts," I mut-
tered. seeing double, "if some
I drunk is seeking trouble I will
bust him like a bubble, with a left
hook to the jaw. Bue efore I un
teitake him 1 will guzzle one beer
more. Then I'll fling wide the
door.
My patience then far further
goaded, for in my house a bomb
exploded, blowing books and beer
and students headlong thru my
chamber door. As I lay there from
the environs came the scream of
a police siren and the clattering
nf old andierons clattering on as
they landed on the floor. Then I
learned what caused this uproar

it was merely a gang war. Then
and then, my hair I tore.
"Hell," I said, "no use denying
it is vainly I've been trying to do
work." So I shrugged while sigh
ing, "This is surely the last straw.
Before me my exams are looming,
and since I'd be wrong in assum
ing I can study while this booming
is increasing to a roar I will
spend a peaceful evening with my
girl named Eleanor, where I can
