Oxford Jail In
Use Last Week
For Fin t Time In Years
Oxford has n notorious tree, a world
(famous college, and traditions tlimt will
always follow Emory moil. All of then**
have IsH*n (given <lue consideration by
men who have sis*nt hours dt*sorib.ng
them. There is one, though, few jieoplc
have mentioned, lieoause a jail hold.'
no place in Emory’s moral standing.
Why this town should have a "cool
er” has been a puzzle for years, hut
nevertheless it was done and today
remains a lonesome sentinel on tltp
property of one of the village's most
illustrious citizens.
The writer was informed that the
contractor for this structure was the
first to occupy tin* dismal building af
ter being captured -drunk. In a few
days lie was freed and the jail collect
ed dust for a number of years.
Last week a negro became enraged,
nttackisl his wife, and shortly there
after found himself confined to tin*
Oxford “hoosegow” un|dcr the firm
hand of our renowned “City Police
Department.’’
It is hinted, o r rather rumored, tlmi
Henry Stone, of the Oxford Transport
and What-Ilave-You Cos., hurried to
Covington to find oil for the doors of
the jail when he heard the negro would
he his backyard overnight visitor.
A number of students will recall a
P
certain Thanksgiving a few years ago
when "The Jail” was an object, of fear
to ail freshmen. They will probably
remember Ihirty-three boys barked
behind its rusty portals struggling for
the window where fresh air and “Old
Men” might hi" encountered. The keen
surface of a number of garrison belts
will also dwell in the “New Men’s”
minds as a pain for a passing moment
—then pleasure —as the realization
dawned that the “Old Men’s initiation
or Thanksgiving was over.
EGGSHELL MOIRE IS MATERIAL
TRANCING frocks for the young
misses are in some of the most
alluring modes ever shown. New fash
ions have n way of coming first In the
evening, and perhaps later may come
Into prominence for daytime wear.
Some of the more Important of the
new evening silhouettes that Paris has
produced, and which smart Parislennes,
native and foreign, are affecting, ap
pear ns a subtly molded tube, reach
ing almost to the knees, below which
point all kinds of enchanting frills
and flares are an added feature. It is
not uncommon for these additions to
continue down to the ankles, since
evening frocks are much longer than
the daytime dress. In the majority of
these elaborate formal gowns, belts,
sashes, bows and other features Indi
cating n waistline are forgotten, and
Ihe only semblance of a waistline is
that accorded by u slight blouse which
appears In the normal position.
Another smart evening design makes
u disappearing waistline its center of
cldc through the assistance of flaring
pcpluin, or a series of soft puffs from
the wuistline to the hips.
Much lias been done by Paris to
straighten out the uneven hemline,
und the bems are frequently cut
straight around, or nearly straight. If
Divisions of Poetry
The three principal classes of poetry
are epic, dramatic and lyric. An epic
poem is n long narrative poem dealing
with events In tlie life of the hero or
heroine. For example, “Evangeline"
and “The Eneld” nre epics. A lyric is
n brief poem which expresses the*
sentiment of the pool. As Or. Wil
liam \. Wilbur ex-pressed It, “An epic
is always the story of someone other
than the poet.” Tills Is contrary to
tlie lyric. The word “drama" means
the deed. A dramatic poem Is one the
emphasis In which is upon action.
Silent on His Marriage
Sir Thomas Bodley, founder of the
famous Bodleian llbrnry at Oxford,
was married, for lie set up a monu
ment to ids wife, relates May Irena
Oopingcr In an article in the Calll
more Sun, yet In his autobiography
Sir Thomas does not mention marriage
at nil, and there is nothing to indicate
whether this was because Mistress
Bodley was too much of a “domestical
impeachment,” or too much of a non
entity to recall herself to mind when
her lord and master engaged himself
with tlie important questions of life.
Strike for the Goal
Whatever your goal may be, strike
out for It! What If you do fall? What
If you die In the attempt? Well, li
you put every shred of yourself into
the attempt, you will have had life’s
one great exhilarating and soui-satis
fylng experience anyhow!
And when you start out to pursue
your dreams, Ire prepared for a great
discovery. It’s (lie effort itself timt
will give you peace. This peace goe
with you ns you grow older, becomes
your choicest companion, never leaves
you. Wresting this peace from a
troubled world Is about all there is
to the secret of happiness.—Ralph
Waldo Emerson.

dipped they are dipped in points all
around, or in back and front on the
same skirt, or in large squared panels
at the sides. The hack droop, so far
as Paris is concerned, lias been placed
in Ihe background.
The separate type of dresses for
evening wear continue to drop from
the high waist by way of circular
godets or tiers to some fashion of ir
regular hemline.
Among favored colors used for danc
ing frocks are blue, onpuclne, char
treuse, pink, black and white, and the
many varying shades of those colors.
White, ns ever, is much In demand,
and it comes in many shades.
A charming dancing frock, shown in
the illustration, is of eggshell moire.
A basque type waist, considerably
longer at the back, enhances a full
gathered skirt with pointed, uneven
hemline, and noticeably longer at the
sides Instead of the overdone long
hack. Snug fitting armholes, a pointed
neck, and live dainty tailored hows at
the front of the waist give the gown a
tailored effect, especially suitable to
moire. A large how of self material
is fastened at the hack, giving a hustle
effect

Players of Trombone
Give It Various Names
The names of musical Instruments
ns they appear In different languages
are often very misleading. Most
Americans coming ncross a reference
in Hutch to n “bnzuin” would readily
Imagine tills to lie n bassoon. They
would, however, lie quite wrong, for
it Is what in England, France, Raly
and America Is called n trombone,
though the bass Instrument is some
times in France called tho snequebuse,
which shows its connection with the
old instillment most people know only
through the psalms, called Ihe sack
hnt. Its German name is posaune, a
name that is sometimes used In Eng
land for an organ slop which lias the
same kind of tone ns the trombone
and trumpet. Curiously, while trom
bone is a word of Latin origin and
posaune and bnzuin nre old Teutonic,
it is more than likely that these lat
ter words also originated in the old
Roman bucinn, n shell-shaped trumpet
or horn.
WeatHerwise Spider
The spider seems to possess an un
canny knowledge of the coming weath
er and it makes use of this In the
manipulation of its webs. If the day
Is to lie fair and qnict the strands
supporting tlie webs are far flung. It
Is not an uncommon tiling to find that,
from the center of a web to the point
where the extremities of the threads
are attached will be three feet oi
even more. This is, of course, an ad
vantage to have the web ns fully ex
tended ns possible, for then the
chances that flies will blunder into the
entanglement are increased. Some
hours in advance of the coming ol
wind and rain the spider will be hard
at work shortening the strands which
support the web.
