Jewel Thurmond and Antoinette
Westgaard played sensational tennis
at the meet and defeated all challen-
gers in straight seta. The score was
aa follows: Clifton vs. Hillsboro 8-8;
8-2; Clifton vs. Cleburne 8-2; 841;
Hillsboro and Cleburne had previous-
ly eliminated Navarro and Ellis'comi-
ty, so the honor of representing this
district at Austin goes to Jewel and
Antoinette. Jewel also won tike ten-
nis singles defeating Hillsboro in the
preliminaries 6-8; 8-1 and one from
Corsicana in the finals 8-2; 84k
Douglass Standefer and Clyee
Horst, . representing CKftoa High
School in tennis, were not to be out-
done by the Clifton girls, so they also
brought home the tennis double hon-
or and are practicing hard far the
state meet. Their score against Cor-
sicana in the preliminaries was 8-2;
2-8; 8-2; and against Hillsboro in the
finals 6-3; 2-8; 6-2.
Clifton's points were scored as fol-
lows: Debates 20: declamation 18;
i tennis 30; total 60.

Grotesque and laugh provoking—
what is funnier than typographical
error in a newspaper? Some of the
finest jokes extant come through the
fact that a printer’s fingers slip. Us-
ually these mistakes or “breaks,” are
funny s long time afterward—never
at the time. For instance, several
years ago a newspaper was threatened
with s suit because an article was
printed about a Prims Donna being
engaged as a screen star to act in the
movies. A typographical error made
the heading read. “Scream Star Wis
Once Great Singer.” To be sure there
was much excitement in the editor’s
sanctum before the vocalist could be
pacified.
Yet no one detests the sight of an
error more than the editor himself.
If someone could invent or suggest a
way to forever do away with mis-
takes—could make infallible the col-
umns of a newspaper—the editor pro-
bably would foel constrained to give
that individual a loving cup and ev-
ery community would feel like naming
a street in his honor.
There is no getting away from it,
newspaper slips are sometimes ter-
rible. Somehow, everybody sees the
incongruous, the riffiettfeoa, the pre-
posterous. When a preacher

rell and thoroughly is well
worth while and is something that
every student should do at sometime
during his high school career. We
believe that this debate has been
worth as much to them young people
as any course they have taken in
school. Not only has it been of bene-
fit to them, but to the entire school
and community who have heard
them discuss it. A well studied de-
bate on a live issue a a diffusion of
useful knowledge to the community.

information or facts at hand to call
him to book. If a doctor makes a
mistake he buries it. When an elec-
trician errs in judgment he blames
it on “induction” because no one
knows what it is. Should a judge
make a mistake it becomes the law
of the land. If a plumber fails in
some pipe jointing, he charges twice
for it. But if newspaper printers err
in print the offended will not forgive
and the public cannot forget.
Suppose your name was Haskel.
Would you not feel a bit peeved should
you find in a local paper that an “R”
had been inadvertently placed where
the "H” ought to be? You certainly
would not be able to extract as much
amusement from inch an incident as
your neighbors; but our position
would be no more embarrassing than
that of an American, who had found
himself much annoyed with a report

abla church wedding. He described
the throng of uninvited guests that
had clustered about the awning in
hopes of gaining v glimpse of the
bridal paid as they emerged from the
church to enter a waiting anto, and
he recorded the result in the following
words: “The comely bride was quick-
ly swept from sight by the eager
groom.” One’s sympathy for the re-
porter is lessened, however, by the
fact that he applied to a newly mar-
ried man the term which should be
confined to a manservant.
Only one who has gone through an
operation which is fresh in the mem-
ory can appreciate the gravity—and
humor—of a “break” in an Oklahoma
daily: “Mr. Blank, who was operated
on for appendicitis, is rapidly recov-
ering. His many friends hope to
see him cut again soon.”

itarium at Waco that Mr. Tom M.

to full recovery. HU son. Major Her-
