THE BATTALION 3 All Women Bad? Maybe So, Maybe No, But Don’t Bet On Them, Reporter Told Ex-Students To Hold Meeting- April 11—12 Picture To Illustrate Use Of Oxyacetylene a series of demonstrations on the “re markable properties of liquid oxygen” by G. E. Harcke, oxyacetylene engi neer. By T. B. Ketterson Around and round the little ball goes Where it will stop nobody knows. Play the black or the red, above the line or below tKfe line. Chunk your dice, boys, and play your cards. You’ve a gambler’s chance to win. But—don’t bet on women. Those who saw the motion picture show of that name, “Don’t Bet on Women,” know why. Those who didn’t well—don’t try to find out by exper ience. Just don’t bet. Three questions were asked by char acters in the movie, the answer to the first of which every boy would like to know about every girl. As for the other two, the answers seem to re quire application to the individual rather than to the mass. “Are all women bad?” was the first. The other two were “Are all women children?” and “Don’t all women need a tight rein held on them by a man?” There is said to be but one way to get a truthful answer to an honest question—ask someone who knows. In this case the ones who know should be members of the female sex, and the members of that tribe most available on the campus are the office workers and the veterans of the corps dances. A Battalion reporter after viewing the movie, knowing that he was no angel and having an insatiable curi osity, cheerfully decided to step in and tread and probably be trod upon. The propitious moment for begin ning operations seemed to have arriv ed when he was returning a book to the library. With his Grade No. 1 dis arming smile, and after inquiring if the young lady at the desk had seen the show, he inquired, “Honestly now, do you think all women are bad?” “Nof not all,” she said. “At least I know some—a few—that aren’t.” “Are all women children?” ‘‘Certainly not.” , “Don’t all women need a tight rein held on them by a man?” The reporter had intended to draw out a book on romantic poetry, but the one that narrowly missed his head as he tumbled down the stairs was “Cerebral Hemmorages, Their Cause and Effect.” The registrar’s office, haidbingers of sweet and sour news to the folks, prov ed more amenable, though at times it looked as if bones would be crushed before the news hound would be able to beat a hasty retreat. “Depends on how bad is bad,” quoth one, “for there’s a little bit of good in everybody, even a man.” “Some of them always are babies,” added another. (Reporter’s addition, under his breath: “And all of them like to be babied.”) “The man should be boss-—the wo- 1 man should always hold the reins—if both work each should be master of one rein—flip a coin if one wants to go to one place and the other another.” But the corps dance, usually fertile TOILET ARTICLES at “Scotch” Prices Ipana tooth paste 29<t Pepsodent tooth paste .. 31^ Listerine tooth paste .... 17^ Lifebuoy soap 8^ 7 oz.

All are not bad because they all haven’t had a chance .... Women as a rule are less childlike than men .... Who cares about the reins. The woman is boss anyway. . . . No, yes, yes, no, I mean maybe. “Please—just one more question,” the inquiring reporter pleaded as he at tempted to make himself heard above the babel created by a bevy of beau tiful (mental qualifications unknown) belles during an intermission, “Would you bet on a woman?” “Huh (for once the feminine chorus seemed to agree) I should say not. | Don’t bet on women.” So ... .
