' ANY of us don't know much
about "how - the other hali
lives. . If 1 you5 are a member

get some ideas on the subject, vol
unteer your services at the booth
this organization has at Ak-Sar-Ben
carnival grounds. : ; .
They are selling the best kinds oi
"eats" over there. Mrs. O. Y. Kring,
head of the public speaking depart
ment, was in charge last Wednesday.
Mrs. Kring is an expert on enuncia
tion, good diction tjnd all that. She
has been conducting a campaign
' against slang this past year.
A hardened, wizened old man of
about 70, who had probably followed
carnivals most of his life, drew up to
the Woman's club booth and leaning
over the counter, addressed Mrs.
Kring: . i
"Say, where's the skirt that runs
this joint?" - -
"Right here," said Mrs.. Kring
cheerily, and without equivocation.

Memory Scarf s Fad
of School Girls
.in East
Memory scarfs and memory
sweaters are something that eastern
school and college girli know all
about. Do you? , They are some
times most attractive to look at and
always interesting to then makers.
' This is what you do. You beg,
borrow or obtain it some other way
the left-over yarn from some friend
who is making a scarf or sweater.
You do the same thing to the yarn
left over from the sweaters of as
many friends as rati have, presum
ably. And with those left-overs you
knit or crochet a sweater or scarf.
A scarf is better for the beginners.
Better for one thing . because . the
results will be less inharmonious. It
is an easy matter to combine pur
ple and pink in a scarf composed of
colored stripes, separated mayhap by
Diacic or white or gray or tan.-
. noweTer, sometimes a memory
sweater is a lovely thing to behold.
It must be carefully planned ' and
Wade to be so,

University
Boys See

"The Original -Southern Rag-a-Jazz
Band" from the University of
Nebraska, now in Europe, filling
London and Paris engagements, is
doing something more than making
a big hit as a musical aggregation.
The boys have their eyes propped
wide open and are seeing the sights
and going beneath the surface' of
things. - ;
"Gayle V.-Grubb, who plays the
piano, proves himself also a journal
ist in the following picturesque
glimpses of the world's metropolis:
"For the hawk-eyed Journalist who
may wander into London there is a
wealth of "human interest material.
There are the pavement artists who
sit in beggars style, propped up
against a Henry VIII structure. On
the stones about them are chalk
drawings. Some of these scratchings
are well drawn and others nre but
patches of color. All the beggars
have a picture of a black cat and
scribbled - below it are the - words,
"Good Luck" and "Thank You."
Contrary . to American superstition,
the black cat in England is an omen
of good luck, hence the black cat
in the beggar-artists' gallery.
But the beggar who sits in the
choking dust of the forenoon, scan
ning the faces of the people who
pass and waving his tattered hat
back and forth in the hope of even
a penny, has vanished at the noon
hour and another dirty heap of hu
manity sits in his place In the eve
ning another change has been made
and the set of drawings has been the
selling medium of three men. Beg
ging is a systematic livelihood in
London. t -

Organ Grinders Abound.
"The most consistent form of irri
tation to the newcomer in London is
the organ grinder. There is not a
street, an alley or a lane that is not
infested with this Italian method of
business. The organs in England
are of the wagon type and ancient
melodies are literally ground out of
their tireless bodies by a mammoth
crank. No one passing- these grind
ers will give them a moment's obser
vation and should the mood rtrike-a
pedestrian, he may halt long enough
to flip a pair of coppers into the bat
tered cup. But recently the organ
industry in London received aPahock
and the grizzled cockney of the old
school is stirring up the grinder's
union.
Behind the Masque.
"A short time ago, on a promi
nent corner of Southampton Row
in west-central London, stood a well
dressed, well groomed man with a
black masque that covered the face
from his coal-black hair to his lips.
From the dilapidated old organ,
which moaned and sobbed, hung a
poster and from it stared these
words: 'I am the son of a well-to-do
family, but have been impoverished
by the war. A have attended Ox
ford for two 'years but have been
compelled to discontinue my studies
for lack of funds. I have unsuc
cessfully sought other work and
have taken up this sort as a last
resort." I will appreciate your aid."
"So was London gossip birred
With the stir came the startling
fact that in numerous streets are
these sons of once-wealthy families
earning a few shillings a day, grind
ing sordid tunes from a screeching
Italian organ, hiding the shame of
such a livelihood behind black
masques. - .
"Such sights'-, does the average
tourist miss. Nor does he see in the
early hours of the morning the ex.
hausted figures crouched in the door
ways of stores. Old women they
are, and beside them are the bas
kets of withered heather which they
offer at the buyer's own price. And
there in the doorways they steal
what few hours of sleep they may
be able until the shopkeeper drives
them away at the opening of busi
ness hours and they trudge down
the deserted streets in search of a
likely market for their dying flow
ers. Bert L. Reed, trombonist, is
manager of the band. "While in
Paris, I met Almarine Campbell on
one of the main streets." he writes.
"As you know, she is also from the
university." . . -
' Other members of the band are:
Harold S. Peterson, saxophone; Ed
ward G. Cresset, violin; Donville S.
Fairchild, banio; Harold Schmidt
drums
