"Wreck of Hesperus"
Is Popular Model Car
Undoubtedly some have noticed a
queer looking and odd sounding ve-
hicle about the campus. This is the
latest fad, "it seems. Which goes to
prove what co-operation is worth to
the world, as six young men have
cast their lot. for better or for worse
in- this' movement. It may be called a
company but one doesn't know who to
approach for collection of fines and
debts as the liability is always thrown
on some member of the crew who isn't
available at the time.
Six men compose the charter mem-
bers of the Organization. They bought
stock to the amo'mt of $24 making
the individual investment $4. Of
course more and more will have to be
invested for upkeep and general re-
pair. They call it the "Wreck of Hes-
perus" which has reference to some
kind of historical event in English.
The purpose of the concern is to pro-
mote the general welfare and effi-
ciency of transportation en route to
Abilene, but it is not restricted to
,«tvthis as a recent tour was made11 to.*_
* Clyde, the California of.Texas^The
car cost $12. The license' is going to
cost $1(5.23. These will be purchased
as a result of advice given by police-
men. They are active advocates of
prohibition and make that one of their ■
planks in their platform. No insur-
ance has been taken out as yet.
The members are those six who
have soiled four pairs of trousers
with the new paint.—A. C. C. Optim-

200 YEARS HAVE WROUGHT
MYTHS OF WASHINGTON.
Wrhat does Washington's Birthday
mean to you—a cherry tree, ^■hatchet,
a truthful boy, candy, bobbed hair,
the dramatic crossing of the Delaware
or just another holiday?
, It' that is all Washington's Birthday
means to you, you might as well be-
lieve in Santa Claus.
tics a i
hatchet story and the story of Wash-
ington'.; absolute veracity.
It might be well to substitute in
your mind for the myths concerning
Washington a few facts which prove
his greatness! Remember how he de-
voted his talents not in selfish means
but in the establishment of the inde-
pendence,, and liberty of his country.
Think of his wisdom as he guided the
convention which led to the formation
of our constitution.
For such things as these we are
cel<jirating this year Jthe br-centenial
anniversity of Washington's birth. In
such things as these lies the great-
ness of Washington.—Skiff.
