Flag Pole Furnishes
Annual Excitement
Each year for reasons varying from
revolutions to weak ropes, the rope
on the flag pole has to be replaced.
This year the spectacle occured a lit
tle earlier than usual, for sometime
during Friday afternoon, the flag
dropped to the ground because the
rope just could not stand the strain.
G. G. Commons, A Company, Infan
try, and hailing from Mercedes, prov
ed to be the hero of the day, last
Sunday afternoon when he . accom
plished what more than several had
tried to do. With virtually no hesita
tion, he climbed to the top of the
flag pole and replaced the old rope
with a small steel cable. It is believed
that his fee was five dollars.
Morality for Own
Sake Out of Vogue
Bryn Mawr, Pa.—(IP)—Morality
for its own sake is no longer in vogue,
believes Dr. Hornell Hart, professor
of social economy at Bryn Mawr Col
lege here. Of this he says:
“We are through with the worship
of any arbitrary ideal. Let us dis
avow, frankly and emphatically, some
of the old conceptions. Morality for
its own sake has no claim upon rs.
“Orderliness, obedience, conformi
ty, chastity, monogamy—such ideals
are valid only if they promote deeper
and more vital values—if they call out
to the full possibilities of the self,
only if they make for rich, intense,
growing, creative experience.
“The question should be, not “how
can we prevent people from having
sex experience not consistent with
traditional morals?” but “how can we.
aid people who seek fulfillment of per
sonality to establish in their own lives
those patterns of sex behavior which
will bring to them and their associates
the fullest and richest experience?”

"Oh, well . . ."
The Neolithic men were un
questionably a smart people.
In the heart of the Umbrella
Age they figured out that
strolling in the rain would be
fun if you only didn’t get wet.
Nothing more was done about
it, though, until 1836, when
Tower started making slick
ers. We’re good at it
now, if we do say it.
Fish Brand Slickers, roomy,
well-cut, long-wearing, are
sold everywhere, in a wide
range of models, weights and
colors, for men and others.
Your slicker will soon pay for
itself in reduced taxi and
pressing bills. Look for the
fish on the label. A. J. Tower

THREATEN DEATH FOR
PROF. WHO TAUGHT
DAUGHTER EVOLUTION
Evanston, 111.— (IP)—A father
grieving over the death of his co-ed
daughter several years ago, was ar
rested here for threatening the life of
a Northwestern University professor
because he taught the girl some evo
lutionary theories.
Professor Ernest Laurer asked the
arrest of A. J. Robinson, of Brook
field, 111., charging that the latter
threatened to shoot him. In court
here Robinson admitted that he had
planned to kill the professor.
“My daughter, Roslyn, attended
Professor Laurer’s class in history
five years ago,” he said. “He taught
her the theory of evolution and that
changed her ideas on the whole matter
of religion. She began to brood over
it, and that led to a nervous break
down and death.”
After Robinson had promised to
make no further attempt at molest
ing the professor, he was released.

writing had faded, apd because of the
scarcity of parchment, had been used
over again.
Orange, N. J., and East Orange, N.
J., have different laws about Sunday
movies. A theater owner whose build
ing is located on the dividing line be
tween the two cities ropes off the
East Orange side of his auditorium,
and thereby obeys the law in that city,
while he puts on his Sunday movies
in the Orange side of the theater.
