TELL ONE YOURSELF, THEN. "OH, THERE'S NOTHING TO EDITORIAL WRITING," THE MAN SAID. "YOU SEE, NO ONE EVER READS THEM." Joe Hermsen was being entertained by one of the 800... They had gotten as far as the weather. ^ She: "It's so much colder up here than it was back home. Down there I wore light garments -all winter, but up here I have to wear heavier clothing. You know, I. am from Georgia?" Joe: "IB that so? I'm from Missouri." LEARN FROM RALPH After you see "The Road to Yesterday" next wteek, you'll believe Ralph Johnson of truthfully singing, "When the sun has gone to rest, that's the time that I love best." CONFIDENTIAL CHATS WITH MEN AND YOUNG MEN The story is now being told that. a Normal girl actually did turn a man down once. Ton don't believeit partner? It seems there were two—wait, wait, wrong side—it seems that a mistake was made, and the Edens Hall steps had been cleaned, so that a girl slipped and felL Therefore she had to call off her date with Mr. H •'.'••'. . Pearl Bartfnff (probably in a fit of Jealousy) sputtered that the girl would have fallen sooner or later, anyway. Who was the man?_ Dan Beighle? No. This Bryan Hanldns? Oh, no. Mr. Berg? Well—Wo, we won't telL Hen, was the fellow sore? Certainly not. It wasn't he that fell. Just think. This is but one of the real problems plain? ly and frankly discussed by our men last Tuesday. But are their meetings ..written up in the Messenger? fBoS' fwore President Hankins. . When the Men's Club settled some'time - ago: Vtbat married men do make the best husbands" how much space did it get? We could repeat that question, but it would be exactly the same thing. ' It's the Men's Club that hands you programs in assembly and then leave so others can have their seats. And it's the Men's Club who are the only thing in school that doesn't own galoshes. Just then the men sent.up a cheer for the Kormal—their Normal. "Look at the pages the Women's League get in the paper of which I, yes, I, am business manager.'' Here Pres. Hankins broke down, and the' meeting broke up.

"JAPAN NOT MILITANT" For Eighteen Years, -Mr. Trueman Has Been a Representative of the Y. M. C. A. in Japan. Mr. A. -H. Trueman,- who has been in Japan for eighteen years as a rep-representative of the Y. M. C. A., stressed the attitude of Japan in her immediate relations with_the Orient and her international relationships with the leading nations of the Occident, in his address before the student body Wednesday. "Japan has accepted wholeheartedly the Western method of commerce and business, and has arisen from an obscure nation to rank as one of the five leading powers of the world ,in a short period of eight years. The Japanese are proud and sensitive. If we get the full significance of these two fundamental characteristics of human nature it would help greatly in solving our international relationships with Japan." Mr. Trueman stated at the opening of his lecture. Port Arthur Important. Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese war'was stressed. The Man-churian railway gave Japan the balance of power against Russia, so to speak. Probably the greatest single impetus for the expansion of Japanese commerce and industry was the World War. "During the World War, when the dual form of government, was at its highest tension, the Japanese intervened in the Russian controversy with a military attitude. As "a result Japan began industrializing. The rights of China had been encroached upon by the Japs" and her integrity had been violated, when the iron works in the Yangtze Valley were, transferred to Japanese rule."' Japan Not Belligerent. Washington, D. C., completely altered Japan's attitude toward China and her relations "with the Occident became ones of unmitigated friendship and co-operation," the speaker said. The essenceof Mr. Trueman's. address lay in his concluding remarks. He emphasized the. fact that Japan was not. a militant, belligerent or inimical nation, but that she was following in the footsteps of other world powers, and that the only possible remedy for international strife is for every nation to have confidence" in each other and base their relationships upon the highest ideals.

The topic of Miss Glass' speech was "The Heart of Youth." Many interesting experiences cited by the speaker gave the'listeners a thrill. Miss Glass explained that in order to gain the confidence .of a child one must get the thought and viewpoint of the person, no matter whether they be grade or high school pupils. She said: "We must look into the heart of the child and see the real self." ; 0-—r—— : INTER-CLUB COUNCIL AIDS ORGANIZATION Council Consists of One Representative from Each Club and Three Faculty Members. The Inter-Club Council was first organized last spring. Its formation was the result of a fell need of a central organization to control and supervise the activities of the various student organizations. Since that time it has performed an invaluable service for the different clubs of the school. The members of the Inter-Club Council consist of one representative from each of the club organizations, elected at the first meeting of the spring quarter. The representatives serve on the Council during the following year. Besides these student members, there are representatives of the faculty, including the Dean of Women, the Dean of Men and the Social Director of Edens Hall. „ Each organization is required to have a representative at all of the meetings of the Council. Each organization is required to furnish a club calendar for the year with preferences for dates and places. Each organization is also required to furnish the Council with all records, books and such other information as the Council may require. Besides the general supervision of the activities of the Clubs the Inter-Club-Council helps to settle the numerous difficulties within the Mrs. Hankins is Sole Graduate From the Four-Year Course at the End of the Fall Quarter. 59 TWO-YEAR GRADS Paul Rule, Martha Dillon, and Jessie Wait,.

LIBRARY IS FAVORED Hartley's Policy Toward Normal Schools Described by President Fisher as Being Very Friendly. "We feel that as far as Governor Hartley .and his staff are concerned the needs of Bellingham Normal will be well 'taken care of,". President C. H. Fisher stated after the visit of the state executive and his staff to the school Tuesday afternoon. At a meeting of the governor-,-his staff, President Fisher and the Normal trustees, the school budget lor the next two years and matters pertaining to it were discussed. President Fisher said: "Undoubtedly the Normal, with the approval of the state legislature, is to be able to go ahead with construction of 'a library during next year," so it at last appears as if the dreams,, of a library building will come true in the immediate futurei The budget asks for $260,000 to.erdct and furnish the building, which will be located where Cedar street now is, facing the campus. Since last year's state legislature passed the bill containing the provision for a library, there seems to be little opposition to its erection. "Freedom and frankness of discussion led to a satisfactory understanding of our problems. on the part of Governor Hartley and his staff," President Fisher added. "The visit was most satisfatory in every respect. "The policy of the; governor is to insist on quality instead of numbers at the Normal and in this policy the Normal heads are heartily in accord with the chief executive. The_JNbr-mal trustees and myself do not feel that they could have asked finer consideration than was given at the meeting.

In all probability the most enthusiastically received choral recital ever rendered in Bellingham was the production given by The Russian Syniphbnic Choir. The sample presentation given in the afternoon evidently convinced the students that the Russians actually could sing, as a great many attended the evening performance. Russian music is weird; it is soulful; it is the music of a great people, coming up through great tribulations. The Russian Choir was a true exemplification of that soul, of that music. Their costumes as well as their music was indicative of a people who can lay one* hand, as it were, on the age of barbarism, the other on the highest type of modern civilization. ; 'Their intonation chants and folk songs were as a gigantic storm sweeping across the great steppes of Russia, dying away finally to whisper of evening zephyr. The temple song, "Lord Have Mercy," by Lvovsky cannot be given due credit and praise. All that can be said concerning it is, that it possessed a quality of sublimity. The .delicate gradations of the dynamics was a feeling of wonderment and admiration "and of times gave the impression of the presence of a stringed orchestra. Art, color, and unbelievable tone, combined with numerous, almost inexpressible characteristics pertaining to that which is paramount in the world of music, would scarcely do justice to the praise r due the Russian Symphonic Choir. WHY A LITERARY CONTEST? / Announcement of a literary contest was made in the first issue of the Messenger for this fall quarter. The battle of pens is now finished ' and a pronouncement of victors has been made. Two and a half months is rather a long period for a literary contest, whose contributions are usually confined to less than a thousand words. Fred R. Bechdolt, one of the few fascinating writers of Western tales, often * completes a short story of four or five thousand words in less than two weeks, we have been told by Mr. Bechdolt's father. A comparison here is, of course, entirely out of place. The regrettable fact is that the responses to this contest Were very few. Perhaps not enough publicity was furnished, although it seems that a contest of this nature could •' hardly be enhanced by advertising. An appreciation of literature can be directed and enlarged, but the so-called "urge" for self-expression toward the creation of some form of literature is essentially native and is usually evident by the end of the high school year. But the trial of contest was worth-while. The poems, essays and stories received by the judges were of merit. Certainly trie poetry, ^which.was accorded first place was so deserving that had one hundred ethers challenged, it is dubious that its final rank had been altered. Interesting proof of this, how- .'•;.ever, would be to succeed this literary contest with others each quarter. Winners of the late,contest might be allowed to still, compete, and others, who perhaps; did not have time now to compete, could • * ? ^ ; J^r^a n?« they taight -lUJuew premier places. NOTE BOOK FIENDS Some instructors are so congluti-nated to this demented hurry-up-and- get-your-note-book-in complex that special days are set for bearing the sacrificial note book to the brown desk altar. Big days for them are July 4 ; dinner in the park; Labor Day; Thanksgiving; and Last Note Book Day, the best day of all. It is an obfnoxious, antideluvian, and insipidly vitiating custom, this. Hamlet (check up, there, English students, page 37 in your note books) said, "It's a consummation devoutly to be wished," thinking, doubtless, subconsciously, of this pernicious note book habit. Well meaning students in the flush of their sophomoric and excel-isor years, doing research in \ ency-clopediae, have to detour every two or so pages, because of pencil and finger marks of those who have gone before in their tireless search for note book filler. . Instructors probably vie with each other in trying to grind from classes "bigger and better" note books each quarter. -And such teachers who expend time to instruction and not to the indulgence of this notebook passion are probably looked upon with tolerant derision. Training school disciples when for a minute their thoughts are not infested with "projects" should consider note book work. They will never "arrive" in the art of teaching until some -knowledge of note book managing is mastered. But then, get your note books in next week, for the teachers have a surprise for you. They are going to "remember" you before Christmas. 7 ' By V. A. V7 , The Russian Sympkonic Choir only rominded me of the little boys in the Philippine Islands who, in moonlight nights, used to sing in concert in the same manner, but in a more disconcerted fashion than, the Russians do. Primitive music by primitive man was uv,that fashion. Before musical instruments were invented music in its primeval fude iorm was- already in" manifestation: lt; Primitive man of the wildness had only to imitate, and then modify the sound he heard from the' birds, and the brooks and the falling of trees, and the loud peal of thunder. The march of civilization only brought about the invention of the different musical instruments that we have at present age. • i There is a very great difference, however between the music furnished by the Russian Symphonic Choir and that of the boys in the Philippines... But the principle seems finv-damentally the same. •J^iiltjftfauuort Here are the high lights in the speech of Miss Charlotte Frazer, general secretary of the'Women's Christian Temperance Union in America, at, the assembly November 23: "I missed lots of punch and pep of college life by not attending a co-ed school." • "A man does not know much after being married three days." "We don't know what the future has in store for us. We do riot know what will come into our individual lives." "America has never been licked due to right leadership." "Consecrate your life to leadership." Miss /Frazer also said that when she was in school she had only one dollar allowance a month. These' days that dollar will disappear like a soap bubble in an instant.

MECHANICS 6 0 43 Thorlakson, Fisher, and Sullivan Lead Jay Vees Scoring Attack. Fisher Annexes 11 Field Goals. In a game played on the Y. M. C. A. floor last Friday' evening, the Jay Vees overwhelmed the Junior Mechanics. The score was 60 to 13. If the Normalites had been able to connect with the basket more consistently, the Mechanics would have suffered a much worse defeat. It took the Junior. Vikings about five minutes to get going. The Mechanics gained the first field goal, but following this goal, the Vikings, with determiation, set in to do their task and netted 15 points before their opponents made another point. At half time the score stood 35 to 5. The Normal scoring attack was led by Fisher, Thorlakson, and Sullivan. Wreckers Beat Methodists. In the other game of the evening, the Roland Wreckers downed the Methodists 33 to 22. The Methodists fought furiously in a vain effort to overcome the exerienced Wreckers, but they finally succumbed. Ludwigson and Urness played stellar games for the Methodists. Tonight, the Jay Vees will meet their first real test when they tangle with the Roland Wreckers.

Jack Harper^ diminutive Viking forward, grabbed the high honors of the evening chalking up 19 markers during the evening's entertainment as well as playing an all around,-bang-up game. The work of Hawkings, center, was commendable. Although clearly outclassed, the Brown Cole team forced the Normal at all times. McCollum played an outstanding game and led his mates in scoring, accounting for 13 of the total 23. The Baker Lumber yards won an exciting mix from the somewhat crippled Y. M .C.

Although a special matinee performance had been given in the afternoon at the Normal, the ironing -conceit was pleasantly received by an almost full house. With no instrumental accompaai-saent the group of choristers at once suggested something : of the novel,; the unusual, in vocal rendition. Voices Represent Opera. - Other •• features than the unique; oess of the presentation Attracted the j audience for the two-hour program, towever. The perfect ensemble of voices often reminded of an orchestra.: JSharp, plear bells could be distin-! gushed, by the occasional chanting of male voices. Humming, a variation of tone employed effectively by the choir, gave forth a delightful imitation of a tremulous violin. Deep -basses suggested the vibrancy of the 'cello. The entire effect was pleasant ;and satisfying. Grouped in regard to sacred songs, ^classical music and folk songs, the program was well divided. Of the premier group the. repeated strains of; "Lord, Have Mercy" proved most effective, with careful modulations of difficult chords. Classical Music Pleasant. Beethoven's "Andante Con Moto"is rarely heard in chorus; therefore its interpretation was appreciated. "Plai-senterie" of Nikolsky was an attractive lyrical completion of the classical group. Most appealing of the Russian folk songs was a Chechoslovakian dance song arranged by Basile Eabalchich, conductor of the choir. Other folk songs were marked by their lyrical, and charming, simple themes. In the early part of January the second number of the musical course will be given when Reinald Werren-irath, American baritone, will appear lin recital. •They had -knowTi each other for years, these two men who had just met 4n the train.

"But I'm -used to the ups and downs by now.'.' '"Well, a man traveling as much as I do should get better treatment." "You're right. B u t —" He was interrupted by * stern voicer "Get out of here!" Hurriedly the two tramps slid off the bOx ear. RULES FOR DANCING. 1. Stand 12 inches from your partner. She may not love you as much as yon think she does. 2. Don't lean on your partner; she's probably had no lunch, either. 3. Place one finger on your partner's shoulder. She may not be used to dead weight. 4. Don't look as if you were in pain. Take courage—dances don't last a lifetime. 5. Try not to get your form in the shape of a pretzel. Other shapes are far more becoming. 6.. Be light on her feet as well as on your own. 7. Listen to the music. Your conversation may not be quite as full of harmony. 8. . Keep time. The man who wrote the music knows more about rhythm than you do. 9. Dont try to invent some new stuff in dancing. People knew how to dance before you arrived. 10. Follow these instructions and you're sure to get away with the girls. Haw, haw, haw, haw! We thank you!
