ABOUT THE COLUMN AND

Howdy, folks! We are sbo glad to
git back and get ahold of thia ole
column again. It’s like sending your
favorite offspring to school and letting
the teacher give Mm a licking, when
if there was any licking to be done
yeo’d like to whale the tar out of him
yWUr own self, instead of lettting
stranger do it
Thia Jabber has aho been treated in

Clay Olburn has been to Logie class
regularly, and has actually owned
bepk all of this time. The other day
ha went to study for a test and found
that every other page had the print
so blurred that the author himaelf
could not reed it. Yes, it came as
gulte a shock to Clay.

Saturday night being the time for
their regular winter term bath, and
net wishing to waste as mash energy
oa Saturday night for nothing, the

raids on all the adjacent fraternity

at white heat calling Wsrisysa, they
threw a party for the WesMyaaaoe.

Noble Arnold told us a gw
the other day. We don't know whether
it is original or not, but we do know
that it is true—we tested it out the
other night. Hare it is in poetry:

I’ve tried it beneath the rose
But the proper placate kiss a girl
Is smack beneath tHFnoee.

Little Bit of This and That
Turned Into Real Automobile
Something like twenty year, ago a
fellow by the name of Hank Ford was
very ' busily engaged in puttering
around in a little shack in hi. hack
yard. The neighbor, watched his sc-* Freshman Green have attracted a lot
tivitiet with suapicion and distrust but
out of that little shack came the great
est of all modern inventions, the tin
iiixic. But all this palaver has
great bearing on our subject except
that our subject relates also to the pro
duction of a motor car or a what-cha-
call it
On the Mercer campus is a budding
genius of the automobile world and h
ha* built a car which is worthy o
mention. He made it himself and th
contraption is capable of obtaining
speed of something like seventy mile
an hour, which is fatter than this writ
cr cares to navigate, especially since h
got a wooden leg several years ago u
balloon accident. (The ballooi
jumped through the fence.) But t<
get back to the story; this fellow wh
arranged this collection of amalgams!
ed parts, accessories of all makes o.
modern motor vehicles including par
of an airplane, is Jessie Mays, a ment
her of the senior class. And this i
what he did and how.
As the foundation for this inoovatioi
in the motor car world he used tha
well known variety, the Ford. WH)
that si a starting point he added i
Frontcnac Overhead Valve System, a
Bosch built-in ignition system, an oil
pump and oiling system taken from a
Curtiss airplane, a special Zenith car
buretor and a special crank case.
When be had added these appliances
to his hybrid car, Mays found himself
up against a difficulty. His motor
vibrated too much for comfort and
safety, but after scratching his head
for a while he hit upon the idea of us
ing the flywheel and transmission from
Star. Then with an open drive rear
id, three to one gears, outside gear
controls, which he made himself and a
set of outside brakes, he began to think
had succeeded in malting a pretty
good car. But the matter of a body
to tit this invention remained to be
settled. A Mercury body was decided
upon and eventually installed.
The element of Time enters into the
production of motor cars as well ay in
Ml other things and a period of three
years chpccd before the result satia
ted our young Inventor, but now he is
it with his product. He has a
ear capabk of making seventy in high,
forty in second, and which can not be
forced to ran leee than fifteen miles an
hanr while in Mgh gear. Furthermore
ha tea accompItched his primary ob
ject, that of eliminating planitary
