Whaler Captain
Speak Friday
The Daniel Baker student body had
aa Ita speaker this morning Captain
Dolon. The captain Is with the com
pany that Is brlngtog" the whale to
Brownwood. He was the captain of
the "Hercules" the small ship that is
responsible for the capture of the
vvhale.
He stated that he did not wish the
students to get the whale mixed with
the Ash. The whale is warm blooded
and the fish Is cold blooded. The
blood of the female whale is twelve
degrees warmer than the blood of a
..man or woman. The fish is covered
with scales while the whale has skin.
1 1 The skin of a whale is so thin that
one may easily cut it with his finger
nail. Immediately under this skin Is
the blubber that is commercialized. A
Hah may stay under water Indefinitely
and the whale Is only able to stay
under water as long as he has air in
his lungs. In this way the whale is
similar to the human. Of course be-
cause of the large capacity of the
whale he Is able to stay under the
water around thirty minutes.
Men make their money from the
blubber of the whale. This part of
the whale Is a large part oil and fat.
It is this part that the Eskimos eat in
order that they might keep warm.
In this climate however It is used
to make shaving creams and the like.
There are a few varieties of the
whale that have teeth but the major
part only have whalebone brushes in
the upper jaw. These are used for
.-training the food for the whale. The
throat of the enormous whale is only
three and one-half inches wide. It
may be seen that the whale may be
very easily choked to death.
After giving these very educational
facts to the student body the captain
-played some on the piano for the stu-
death The most unique thing that he
did was to play one song with' one
band and another song with the oth-
er hand. He also made some imita-
tions that it did not require a strong
Imagination to understand. This vis-
itor was greatly enjoyed by all of the
.ctudents and it la hoped that he will
. pay a return visit. "

HOW TO DRIVE A CAR
Ima Oem Queen
(Editor's note: The reader for
freshman English papers considers
this one worthy of print.)
As I am not even a beginner in
the art of driving a car but only a
passenger I shall try to give you my
idea of how a car is driven. If after
reading this article you become a race
track star or at least a "cracker-
jack" driver I shall not be in the
least surprised.
One of the main points it seems
is always to keep your foot on the
brake. The reason for this appears
to be that you will be able to stop
the car in time to keep from running
into someone or something.
Another thing I have noticed is
that drivers seem to go as fast as
they possibly can. This is probably
due to the fact that they push the
accelerator In about as far as it will
go.
Just In case you don't know what
an accelerator is just push one of
those litlte things sticking out of the
floor of the car (after you have start-
ed the engine) and see if the car
moves fast. If it does that's the ac-
celerator. Of course now before trying this
I would make sure that there was no
one in front or behind the car if I
were just learning to drive.
A nice place to learn how to drive
would be somewhere out in the wide
open spaces.
Another of the rudiments connected
with the driving of a car is in mas-
tering the shifting of the gears. I
can tell you nothing about this art
but after a little experimentation you
will probably find out all you want
"o know. Perhaps you have heard
the term "stripped the gears" do
you know how to do that? If you
do know how let me warn you
don't do it. Stripping the gears is
not commonly supposed to be bene-
ficial to the car.
A point I wish to add for you to
remember when you are driving at
night Is this always turn on your
lights.
The following rules should also be
kept in mind: Always look up and
down a main street before you cross
it especially when driving any ped-
estrian intelligent or otherwise will
emphasize the need of caution in this
action. After all one does not wish
to be run over 'or have hi oo1 oacuy
damaged. ---'
Flag Etiquette
Subject of Speech
The idea of courtesy to the flag
Seems to be one that should only be
brought up to the children in the
grammar grades. In Education IV
Grady Leach made a report that deals
with this line of etiquette that every
student should know.
He snld that it made one feel bad
that when the colors passed by with
the Armistice parade there were many
who remained seated in cars and that
there were few mn who had th pres-
ence of mind to remove their hats.
Every person that is in a car should
get out and stand up when the Colors
pass by. The men should remove
their hats and the women should sa-
lute by placing their hand Dver their
heart. This is a custom that the
younger generation should not at-
tempt to do away with .
Grady stated that it seemed as
though every one should serve for a
short while in Sing Sing for here
they really learned to be patriotic.
The warden stated that no man ever
remained seated when they heard the
National Anthem sung. People today
have to hear several bars of the Na-
tional Anthem before they recognize
it and few people know all of the
words to the song. People should be
so well acquainted with the song that
they would know it when it first
starts and they should be able to sing
three verses of it. If people are really
proud of their country they will hon-
or it by learning this song and rising
to their feet when they hear it played
or see their National Colors pass by.
This lack of knowledge on the part
of the younger generation may be due
to the effects of the World War.
When the soldiers came back they
wanted to forget all they could about
the World War and they seemed to
think that to put these things aside
would aid them. It is now our duty
to bring these things back to life.
This training must begin in the gram-
mar grade and with the small chil-
dren. Grady suggested that every-
one start now for the rncwl of these
cuoioum mat every nation has and
that the United States should keep.

The John Tarleton J-Tac tells the
students exactly how NOT to make
an A. First be sure to make a copy
of all asslirnmcnts. though It does not
matter If you lose the copy. Second
depend on getting your wruien as-
signment between breakfast and your
first-petiod class. Third if while stu-
dvinir vou feel the uree to do some
thing else go on and do it. Fourth
practice up on your drawing during
class instead of taking notes. Fifth
instead of paying attention in class
think of what HE or SHE had to say
last night. It seems to us that it is
entirely unnecessary to print such in-
formationIt just comes natural to
most people.

A professor of a northern univer-
sity tells us why college men and
women marry less frequently than
others. "Women in general choose to
marry men who are their superiors;
but for college women there are no
such men; hence they rarely marry.
The case for men is almost the same
for men as a class choose to marry
.vomen somewhat their inferior; but
as college men can find no such wo-
men they do not often marry."

The editor of the McMurry War-
Whoop says this: "Every janitor in
the school with a master key. Four
other keys . . . And then they call the
War Whoop office 'private.' There's
one typewriter in the place and at
least twcnV-c people a day use
that aa an excuse to come in and
park." Though there are only two
keys to The Collegian office our cdi
tor says she can sympathize with the
editor of the War Whoop.
Two students who have entered W.
T. S. T. C. at Canyon brought their
home with them. They are living in
an auto trailer which they brought
from their home In Borger. The trail
er cost the boys exactly $1.75 in
money plus a lot of scrap lumber and
elbow grease.
In spite of the fact that a co-ed at
the University of Oklahoma had been

and a member of the interscholastic
honor society she won second place
in a women's posture contest and
was elected freshman queen this fall
for her comeliness.
Wesley College students think that
men are more vain than women as
indicated by a large majority vote.
A student from T. C. U. tells about
flirting In France in The Skiff. "If
a girl passes a group of boys on the
street one or two of the boys will
make a very flattering remark. Or
if a boy passes a girl he will reach
out and hit her on the back or on
the shoulder; he hits hard too." Very

"Everyone is given a chance to step
off in life on the left foot but not all
