thinks h;storv is a live subject. Friday they had a different lesson tro.n
the usual: six people debated.
The question was: "Re;olved that
the United States should subsidize
the merchant marine." There were
three issues: First that the United
States has a need for sub.sldizing the
merchant ma:ine; Sacond, that the
United States has a right to subsidize the merchant marine; and Third,
that the United States would be benefited by sulbsidiz ng the merchant
marine.
The affirmative side was supported by Elizabeth Dalby, Katherine
Anderson and Ca'.herin: McNerney.
The negative side was argued by
Clyde Lynch, Dick Parsons, and Robert Bollinger. The speakers talked
as if convinced that what they said
was true, and their arguments were
strong and effective.
The three judges. Miss Himes,
Miss Russell, and Miss Rowe, decided In favor of the negative. In their
decision, however, they said that the
arguments of the flrst part of the
debate were two to one in favor of
the affirmative, hut the reputation
of the negative was a little better
than that of the afllrmative.

To the Editor of the Normal Times:
It is in great haste that I pen tli s
letter to our favorite paper. At th.j

aghast (we have heen or-a-gassed
before but never like his, y'uiulerstand.) before me. Kmily has h t r

have inserted my pen in the nuirmalade instead of Ihj proper flu^d. All
told the situation is distressing.
Briefly this is the way it happened:
As we were seated in the dining
room, kind sir, aliout to partake of
the evening meal just as the Smiths,
the Smarts, the Greens, and so many
other failures ot moderate means
and pleasant dispositions were likewise engaged,—just as we were thus,
I say, ready to unite in the good old
American custom of re-testing ouv
digestive systems aud Eniliy, my
wife, had already tucked her napkin in at the liaby's neck—and by
the way, that baby is the boy-wonder of our neighborhood (I tell you
this because he is so fond o* writing; we've papered the parlor twice
in the last year, but your own parents no doubt encouraged your literary inclinations in just this way,)
and there isn't a day goes by but he
gets some gew-gaw from his countless frlenrs—and Robert, my elder
son, who goes to coUege aud wears
his degree on the back of his slicker, had already begun re-arranging
tne sliver about his plate although it
was all-right in the beginning, but
Robert is fastidious and will have everything his way; he inherits this
from me, I think, for I can easily recall how particular I was about having a clean handkerchief twice a
week when I went to call on Emily—
and I myself was on the point of
clearing my throat to pronounce the
blessing on our humble repast, although Emily tells me it is no more
humble than that of the Smiths, the
Smarts, and the Greens,—why then
my dear Editor, whose time I must
be careful not to infringe upon it
was just at this time, iu fact it was
exactly seven o'clock standard time
—when our electric percolator gave
way and its contents stained our best
tablecloth.
At my wife's suggestion (and I
think it a sensible one, don't you?),
I am asking you how this stain may
be removed. Emily would have written herself, but s l e was afraid she
could not come directly to the point.
Women are naturally round-about in
their methods when they want anything.
In the manner in which my opening paragraph described us, we await
your earliest reply.
Yours In haste, but respectfully
nevertheless,
