PARASITES
T IVINQ upon the earnings the savings and the wealth of others
are many parasites of the humnn race. More thnn living
feasting thriving and accumulating many people arc taking of the
fat of the land through innocent bread-winners.
Daily the citizens of a community arc confronted with strange
salesmen with fake goods land and bonds to sell. Of course the
salesmen always make it bound like a bargain collect n down pay-
ment and that is the last of them. So-called clever men have sur-
vived prospered and even worked up to a retiring income by n
means that is legal as far as written and statutory law is concerned
but would kill a conscience that is not already dead.
It has come to be a very good practice to know and know well
the persons with whom yon are dealing. You should know the
standing and the reputation of the individuals with whom you are
transacting business. In big business this is n practice that has
been brought about by force a force that is made by such im-
posters themselves.
Parasites such as these are more trouble to society than the
beggar who knocks at the back door and asks for a bite to eat or
the individual who is fed by the government or charity. To them
the living gained through unfair means is not a matter fo life
or death but their "racket" is their vocation; it is their profession
and it is developed with a technique that is often more refined
more perfect than the techniques of men of the nobler professions.
Society should be warned against such people as these who legally
robf-and it should be taught how to avoid the snares of 'thev para-
sites of the-human race. But as has been truly said "There's a
sucker born every minute." Society should be so trained that its
members will know not to invest
bonds stolen goods or degraded
instructed that it will not support
'llie world or society owes a
only furnish every deserving personality the opportunity to right
fully and legally earn a livlihood
so. In fact it should punish these parasites of men.

IEREVEEENOE
There are those who go to Sunday School and church through
a force of habit and at the same time congratulate themselves on
their piety and righteousness. They do not stop to consider that
their actions reactions and their irreverence defeat the primary
purpose of church attendance.
It is disgraceful even a display of vulgarity and lack of learn-
ing to attend church with the attitude that not a few of church-
goers have. Many go just to go others go for social purposes and
others go purely for business gain. Using the clothing of a sheep
to disguise the qualities of the goat is as evil in the eyes of the Lord
as outright robbery burglary fraud or any above-board crime.
It is surprising- to see tho lightness with which college and uni-
versity students supposedly the most cultured attend worship of the
truly reverent. Nothing can explain such irreverence for that thing
which is highest in tho life of man his religion except a sad lacking
in culture. If there is unbelief tho least that can be done is to re-
spect the opinions the beliefs and tho doctrines of those who do
believe.
Then there are those who go truly for worship whose ideas are
wholesome and whose attitudes are of reverence and awe. These
should not be retarded in their worship by those who go for the sole
purpose of entertainment or individual gain. They should be al-
lowed to worship without the trivial talk and the needless chatter
of those who take their religion if it may bo called such lightly.
They should be allowed to study concentrate pray and worship in
perfect quiet.

Comment
OP LOVE
By Pete Shaw
The Greeks had a word for it but
why should I tako the opinion of the
Greeks when I have some opinions
of my own.
Love is a beautiful thing. It soars
to heights of blissful ecstney and
sinks to the depths of adject despair.
Love is the spice of life. It is a pre-
cious jewel to bo treasured and
guarded in the depths of one's heart.
Love is a mystery. It steals upon
one like a thief in the night and
spreads an entwining web through
which very few escape.
Lovo is not to be treated lightly
for what Is more tragic than n love
blighted life. Love is tho scales on
which our joys and sorrows arc
weighed.
Lovo does not respect personalities.
It comes to tho lowly as well as the
great. As n solid rock soon breaks
apart before the force of the rain and
the tempest so n hard heart is soon
softened by tho incessant beating of
love upon it.
Love is beautiful and the love of n
mother is the most beautiful of them
all. A mother's love is more beauti-
ful thnn nny picture that comes from
nn nrtist's brush. More beautiful than
a bright golden sunrise or the sil-
very path of the moon on the still
waters of n palm fringed lake. Love
is life itself. It knows no bounds.
It cannot be kept in by prison bars
but is sometimes crushed and beaten
to earth by an unkind word or deed.
Love Is priceless and cannot be bought
by the wealth of tho whole world but
the poorest of men may own it.
If a person has not known love he
has not yet tasted of life. He knows
not what real joys and pleasures are
and he means not as much to his fel-
low men as a small pebble in the fur
thermost part of tho world.
Love is the strength by which bat
ties arc fought and won; the strength
by which great adversaries are mado
to seem as small trifles.
Love is a lump of clay in a sculp-
tor's hand. It can be moulded into
a thing of beauty or it can become
repulsive to tho sight.

THE LITERARY DIGEST PEACE POLL
The Literary Digest through tho
college newspnpers aro conducting a
peace poll in more than one hundred
nnd fifty American colleges covering
over 300000 students.
According to tho Daily Illini stu
dent newspaper of the Universnry of
Illinois "The survey is not being
made to determine whether students
think and what they do think. The
primary purpose of tho survey is to
stimulate opinion on a subject of real
consideration today."
The Literary Digest editors say
that this is not an effort to learn the
extent of the sentiment in American
colleges against jingoism against war
as an instrument of diplomacy or
against arrogant nationalism. Tho
long groping wandering warring
warring "peace movements" have bo-
gun to seek direction.
In England the League of Nations
Union is polling every household on
five questions designed to crystallze
the anti-war feeling into action. Tho
ballots go to all men and women over
eighteen.
The anti-war sentiment in tho Unit-
ed States has made most headway in
schools and colleges; it is a part of
the growing evidence that tho Amer-
ican college generation has begun to
think more and speak more about cur

Howard Payne is not listed to re

gest has sent tho five questions to be
submitted to tho students for discus
sion.
The five questions are as follows
1. Do you believe that the United
States could stay out of another
great war? (a) If tho borders of tho
United States were Invaded would
you bear arms in defense of your
country 7 (b) Would you bear arms
for the United States in the invasion
of tho borders of another country?
2. Do you believe that a national
policy of an American navy and air
force second to none Is a sound meth-
od of insuring us against being drawn
into another war?
3. Do you advocate government
control of armament and munitions
industries?
4. In alignment with our historic
proceduro in drafting man-power in
timo of war would you advocate the
principle of universal conscription of
all resources of capital and labor in
order to control all profits in timo
of war? "

If the usual expression is one of dis
content or disapproval those muscles
become accustomed to answering

make the mouth look sulky and ill-

good exercise is to purse tho lips as

then still holding tho lips forwnrd

nounce moro distinctly.
Tho lips become hnrsh nnd rough
through constant exposure to cold
cold weather. If you are outdoors a
great dcnl by all means protect your
lips against chapping and cracking.
Smooth a rich youthlfying tissue
cream on your lips before doing out.
If you arc using lipstick apply the
tissue cream lightly over the Up
rouge patting it on so that you will
not smenr the color. This is one
beauty protective that is very smart
as well as beneficial becauso the tis-
sue cream makes the lips attractively
shiny. Use only a little of the tissue
cream and when you corns indoors

more liberally. Massage it gently
into the Hp3 with a light rotary
movement and you will keep your lips

Hall Happenings
by Haggard
Did you notice how Valentine's Day
nnd the "S" club banquet brought
mnny of the loving hearts back to
gcthcr again. Oh well
even love needs some
encouragement.
It is nice to have such
an open season on
hearts with "sweets for
the sweetest" pouring
in to the Hall for
Courtney Tommie But
Haggard
lor Christine Slime
Campbell. Emma Jean (three hits
for this little girl) McKinistry Ut-
ley Pearson (two times sweet) nnd
Sprawls. Not to mention the flow
ers and the stream of telegrams and
heart-throb valentines which made
the Hall such a gala place.
What wo can't understand is why
Murphy sent Burnet two boxes of
candy. Of course we all know she
is his choice for a valentine but we
didn't know that she was his double
choice.
Mary Young got caught in ono of
her own little pranks the other nieht
Simmons' boy friend called tho Hall
and told Mary he was her true love
from Bollinger. Mary got permission
from Miss Hend for him to come up
for a call and after she hnd careful-
ly dressed she sat down to wait nnd
wait and wait.
There havo been flair fichts nnd
flag fights but tho ono Wcdnosdnv
night was a reol "knockout." Nobody
knew tho freshmen hnd so much
spirit but then it takes a real old-
fashioned flag fight to find out what
good sports everybody can be. We
don't know which fared worst the
flog or Bobbie but tho hostess look
ed a little moro "torn up" especial-
ly after the little by-play with Jo.
A spirit of lawlessness pervades tho
Hall this week and it nil started out
as a revolt against too much disci-
pline. Who would havo guessed that we
had such fancy dancers in this insti-
tution. It just takes something like
an old-time Virginia Reel to hrW ut
such qualities. The Valentine party
was run and It wasn't so hard to get
into the "lover-like" atmosphere.
Strangest of nil the love alliances
is this new courtship that has sprung
up between Terry and Knthlenn Hav.
erland. Incidentally what became of
"aiats"?
Tho Senior prexy Jias deserted the
old list of faithfuls and is now court

SCARLET LOVE
(Chapter 221)
The small bird hopped around in the
chapel building but tho speech was
so borcsome he fell asleep with the
rest -of the students. And the duck
laughed and with a loud quack squall-
ed out "Aint tho gravy good?" So
the five fifteen that as usual came in
at six thirty roared into tho tea party
and tho matron of the hall confront-
ed tho students and laughed in their
faces after slapping them then cooed
in a tone like a cornered tiger scream-
ing "Fine thanks."
Moral: She is only a farmers dau-
ghter and she can really clean your
