UP’ FOR OPENING
Shops and Study Rooms Over
hauled for Beginning of the
School Year, Sept. 18.
A ring of hammers and the buzz of
•aws at Tech give the casual visitor
’he idea that school is on and that
the wood shops and machine shops are
crowded with college boys learning how
to drive a nail, saw along a straight
dne and do the other things taught
them in four years at the state insti
tution.
As familiar as is the noise at Tech.
It is not caused today by amateurs, but
lj ' professionals who are making re
pairs and getting all ready for the com
ing of the students.
Tech opens September 18 and there
i*> yet much to be done to prepare for
that day. The shop rooms are being
" orked on and various changes are be
ing made in the offices of the regis
trar's room. Tile walks have been laid
between some of the buildings and the
■ ampus view has been brightened by a
fresh coat of paint applied to the wood
ed steps which connect the various
terraces on which the buildings stand.
Four Additional Teachers. ,
Pour additional professors have been
added to aid the 56 already employed
'<> instruct the 7o<l students, and from
•'■wptember 9 until opening day they will
be busy giving entrance examinations. (
The new men on the faculty are Ed
"aid Joseph Ducey. B. S., of R< se Poly- ,
technic institute, and Benjamin B. ■

Needy Students Aided.
The requirements for entrance are
the same as for the freshman* class

A happy .choice of words is a pearl
of great price. Even the giddy girls
are learning that "perfectly grand”
doesn't always fit the occasion. But
a would-be client of a lawyer in Tem
ple court tak- s the palm for discard-
■ Ing the dictionary. She was describing
her husband's treatment of her as
grounds for a divorce.
"Yes, sir. be knocked me down with
i a tabla leg. run the children out in the
'pain without no supper, smashed up
all the crockery ware, tore every rag
off my back and locked me up in the
coal house. That’s what he did,” she
. said.
Awful!" remarked the lawyer.
"Well I should say so,” agreed the
client. “It was plumb ridiculous.”
Conscience Not
Required On This Job.
' I know a restaurant In this town
where economy is carried almost to an

“The proprietor of this place I’m talk
ing about looked up one morning to face
a thin, haggard man who asked for work.
" 'Can I wash dishes or something, to
get a meal?' asked the stranger.
' " ‘Nothing doing,' returned the restau-
rant man.
" 'Mister, I’m Just out of the Federal
prison and up against it,' insisted the
i stranger. 'l've just got to eat.’
, “ 'No job here.' repeated the restaurant
• man. What were you in prison for?’
" 'They got me for counterfeiting,' ex
plained tlie ex-convict. 'I used to take
ten-ddllar bills and split them in two
with a razor, and then split a one-dollar
1 bill the same way. paste the pieces to

at but one side.’
