THE BATTALION

SAY BO! DIDJA?
Say Bo! Didja ever leave that
Practice class on a balmy spring
Day with the firm resolve to
Stretch it out upon the bunk
Until retreat time? And in happy
Anticipation, didja whistle drowsily,
That latest song hit, “So I took
The 50,000—O.D.’s and stopped
The straggling to the M,H.?
And as you neared the place of
Your abode, did a wierd and
Penetrating odor force itself
Upon your kind attention? And
Thinking that perhaps the water
Main was leaking, didja climb
Up to the room to catch those
Forty winkfe, conditions to the
Contrary not withstanding? And when
You opened the door, didja
Discover that it wasn’t the
Water after all, but that the
Dept, of Chemical Warfare had
Made their rounds again, and
That all the rooms were standing
Almost knee deep in cow dip?
SAY BO! DIDJA?
‘LILIES” IS A TRUE
PICTURE OF LIFE
A bright shaft of silver sunlight
streams through the open French
windows of the modiste shop and finds
its shining way to the golden brown
curls of a model, attired in a gor
geous creation of silver and black.
The model moves slowly toward a
stalwart youth who stands with out
stretched arms waiting for his love.
They meet, and the curve of their
blended bodies stands out from the
picturesque background like an old
portrait.
This is not the opening paragraph of
a novelette. It is of one of the scenes
in First National’s sensational pic-
turization of “Lilies of the Field,”
playing at the Queen Theatre Friday
and Saturday.
The author of the play, which took
Broadway by storm, has indeed writ
ten a perfect vehicle for Corinne
Griffith and Conway Tearle. Life is
treated fairly and truthfully and the
drab sides bared. Yet with all its
daring philosophy, a sincere and ten
der love story is told.
Other players in the First National
picture, which John Francis Dillon di
rected, are Sylvia Breamer, Myrtle
Stedman, Charlie Murray, Phyllis
Haver, Charles Gerald, Edith Ran
som, Alma Bennett and Dorothy
Brock.
Beautiful women; gorgeous gowns;
costly gems; spectacular scenes; mag
nificent sets; everything that makes
for a big picture.
Consider the lilies of the field. They
toil not; they spin not; yet Solomon
in all his glory was not arrayed like
one of these.—Adv.
Highly colored evidence.
Nancy: “Jedge, sah, I’se don’ cum
fer a divorce fum mah man.”
Judge: “On what grounds, ma
dam?”
“Fer infidelity, sah.”
“Infidelity? Who is the other wo
man in the case?”
“Other woman, sah? Dey ain’t no
other woman, but ouah preachah don’
tole me mah man am a infidel.”—Wil

THE INSPIRED FRESHMAN.
University Kansan—The Hall of
Fame is suited to the freshman who
the other day, having been asked to
spell the adjective “incongruous,”
solemnly and carefully spelled “i-n
C-o-n-g-r-e-s-s.”
’Tvvas Said
By the boss to his new office
boy on the first morning of
his new job, “Micky, take
these letters and let me see
you neatly file them.”
Said Micky, “Sure, mister,
mightn't it be aisier to trim
them wid a pair of scissors.
Shure a file would only
roughen them up.”
And Micky had the right idea
even if he got the boss’s idea
wrong. For there is a tool
for every job. And a good
tool for that particular job
will save time. So there are
two things about a tool worth
considering. First is it the
right tool, and second is the
tool in good shape to work
with. Look over your kit
and if any of your tools are
worn or out of date with the
better new ones, save your
self time and make the weeks
pay envelope heavier by get
ting a good new tool for the
job you have ahead of you.
You can depend on every tool
we show you to be the best
designed and the latest and
best type of tool for your par
ticular job.
