A quin tet of basketeers represent-

On Monday of this week the Glee

.vas announced last Saturday evening
at a bridge party given by Miss Nell
Moore , Miss Ena Pigg, and Miss Chariotte Alexander. Miss Edmunds, a
gradua te of Bucknell University, is a
member of the Phi Beta Pi. Before
ssuming her present position Miss
Edmtindg taught several .subj ects in
the High School near Morganstown,
Ohio. When Miss Edmunds first
came t o us , several of the Juniors
mistook her for one of their number.
Some of the brighter lights mistook
her for a Senior, but few realized that
she was assistant dean. Although she
has only been in Bloomsburg two
years, she has so become a part of us
that Normal School will not be complete without her.
Mr. Davies is also a graduate of
Bucknell University and belongs to
the Phi Gamma Delta. He is at present teaching in the public schools at
Williamsport, although his home is in
Nanticoke. Mr. Davies ' father is the
principal of the Nanticoke High
School. We wish them both unlimited happiness in the years to come.
The anno uncement of the engagemen t was made i n a mos t unusual
way. In the midst of the party a tele r
gra m was brough t to Miss Conway. It
was from Mrs. Thomas H. Edmunds;
of Pittsburgh , announcing the engagemen t of her daughter Lillian to Mr.
John A. Davies.
The decollations at the party were
very beautifully carried out in orange
and white. Those present were : Mrs.
Reimer, Miss Conway, M iss Edm un ds ,
Miss Hayde n, M iss Nell M oo r e , M iss
H a rrie t Mo ore , Miss Campbell , Mrs.
Duncan , Miss Pigg, Miss Alexander ,

prise by jol ting us with a score of
41-29. Although leading at half time
10-8 our defense seemed to weaken
in the second half , which enabled
Shippensburg to go into the lead , this
they held and rolled right on to victory.
The twelve point margin is no proof
that the game wasn't thrilling, as
there was a thrill for almost every
minute—by the spectacular floor
work and accurate shooting of both
teams.

and a number of people from down
town in our auditorium. The program was a varied one and decidedly
interesting. It was composed of as
many different kinds of selections as
an organization of this type is capable of presenting.
The opening number, the Chorus
of Peers from "Iolanthe " was especially well rendered. The audience
showed its appreciation by prolonged
applause. Another outstanding selection was "Trusting Eyes," a solo
by R. H. Baird. "Cousin Jedediah "
a pantomihe with "Cousin Jedediah"
m costume was greatly enjoy ed.
The feature of the evening was
"CLeopatra ," an opera burlequ e of
college life, as it was charact erized
on the printed program. "Cleopatra "
is the story of a college studen,t who
is jealous of his sweetheart's other
boy friends, Antony, Caesar and
Pompey.
He disguises himself as a ghost
an d scares t hem away and wins t he
obj ect of his aff ections. The action
entailed brought in a great many
amusing situations and kept the audience in a continuous state of laughter.

United States must be dragged back
into the naval race. What is the
defini te building stand being taken
by the United States? Do they expe ct to enter at some future time in
the naval race and if so does she expect to outdistance all other nations?
I think this mostly is the problem confronting the United States Navy Bureau and must probably be decided be.
fore December , 1927. Mr. Coolidge
has asked Congress to defer to what
he regards as the necessities of foreign policy and holds out the hope for
another naval limitation conference
which will bring the cruiser building
programs of Great Britain and Japa n
down to tha t of the United States,
thus obviating the need of raising
the American program up to those of
the others. To me this is a decided
wrong opinion and will greatly endanger the whole nation. No foreign
country is going to look out for the
national defense of America. If she
should be drawn in war I am afraid
we shall go down to defeat. Why
take such an importance problem and
handle it in sueh a slipshod manner?
I think it is about time that Congress
starts pulling the ropes in the same
direction. If a crisis arrives at such
an unexpected time then the national
defense is going to see its great weakness. The nation needs no race possibly for naval supreme but in order
to sufficiently ensure safe national
def ense I think it would be most wise
to keep in good working order, the
Navy of America. Eventually, the
President must f orsee no danger, but
why take so great a chance. The
coun try as a whole depends upon
sound national defense.
[B. S. N. S.]

"GOOSE HANGS HIGH"
Will be Presented in Auditorium on
Friday, January 28.
The Junior play, "The Goose Hangs
High" will be presented in the Normal auditorium on Friday, January
28 under the direction of Miss Johnston. Tickets will be available this
week from various members of the
class.
"The Goose Hangs High" is a
typically American story, depicting
many scenes which may have happened in our own homes. It seems rather a coincidence that many other colleges are also producing it at this
particular time. Two years ago, the
play enj oyed a long run in one of the
best theatres on Broadway. Stock
companies then produced it in all
parts of the coun.try so that it is juat
recently that amateur rights have
been given.
Beautiful scenery will add to the
enjoyment of the play. The scenery
has been designed and made by members of the Junior Class who have
been untiring in their efforts to bring
about its completion. The posters
have been made by the art classes.
The whole class' .has cooperated in
trying to make this, their first undertaking, a success.

THE BLACK FLEMINGS

AUTUMN THOUGHTS

MY GARDEN OF MEMORY

(Kathlee n Norris)
"The Black Flemings" is an interesting novel well worth reading by
any one who likes literature which is
light and concerned with surface affairs. It is the story of three generations of Flemings and their house.
The description adds strength to the
book. I consider the plot a rather
weak one since I read the book only
about three weeks ago and the plot
is even now very faint in my mind.
I would consider this novel as one of
scenes and description and feelings.
The emotional quality of the books
is the factor that will remain with you
the longest. I am particularly pleased at the destruction of the Fleming
home by fire. It seems the only f itting end to the building, All in all I
like this novel and enj oyed reading
it very much, though I doubt whether
I got much benefit from reading it
except the pleasure of doing so.
—Martha A. Laird.
[B. S. N. S.]

I passed down a street
Through the smoke and odor
Of burning autumn leaves.
I glanced at the bare, gaunt trees
Standing heavily
Against the darkening sky.
Suddenly a low light
Flickered across the sidewalk.
My eyes followed its ray
Into a small room.
I saw a man smoking,
Reading an evening paper.
A woman was sewing.
She sent an occasional , anxious glance
Into a corner of the room.
I paused.
Something in the room held me.
I searched for some familiarity.
I found none.
Suddenly my thoughts
Were not in that small room.
They had wandered aj vay
To another house.
They were searching for the inde-

(Kate Douglas Higgin)
This is an autobiography of the
well known author of "Rebecca of
Sunnybrook Farm," "The Buds
Christmas Carol," "Timothy 's Quest"
and many others.
It is a delightful account of the delightful life of a delightful writer.
Her life was seldom sad ; she loved
life and her association with her fellow men. She gave much to the advancement of kindergarte n work and
from her experiences there has given
much to the world through her writings, lectures and personal contacts.
There is much humor and real wit
displayed throughout the book. Many
interesting accounts are given of
friendships with famous people.
The events instigating the writing
of many of her novels and plays make
them more interesting and one learns
to appreciate them more fully.

NEWS REVIEW OF WEEK
Chine.se Are Incited Against British
Who Have Controlled Hankow.
China is at present the scene of
much fighting and many revolts. The
na tionalist faction and the extremists
have the country stirred up. Hankow,
a port on the Yangtse River, has been
the scene of much rioting. The Chinese are incited against the British
who have controlled this town for a
number of years. British citizens are
in danger and British claims are being seiged by the Chinese extremists.
The women and children of foreigners living- in tha t city have bee.n placed on ships and the men have been
banded together.
Great Britain 's action in this revolt has been interesting to note. Instead of flaring up at the Chinese and
sending armed forces to engage in
fights with them she has tried to keep
peace. Britain has not wanted to
place any armed forces in Hankow
for fear that it may inflame the hatred of the Chinese to a greater de.gree. Britain has determined to rely
upon the power of the Nationalists
controlling this section to guard British subj ects and British property.
Her policy has changed somewhat
since the time when armed forces
were sent to quell the agitation in
thir teen English colonies.
It has been the general feeling that
by placing this responsibility of protecting forei gners in the hands of the
Nationalists the strength of this organization is being tested. It may be
that if the Nationalists succeed in
curbing the rather Bolshevist tendencies of cer t ain Chinese fac tions and
protecting foreign interests, they will
be formally recognized as a power by
the British government. It would
aid the Nationals a great deal to have
the recognition of so powerful a foreign nation.
I t is very likely t h at in t h e near
fu t ure t he U ni t ed St ates w ill have
to state the kind of policy they intend
to pursue in China. The State Depar tment is already making an intensive study of the situation and of
Groat Britain 's policy.

Near the top of a certain high mountain
Every night queer sounds are heard
They are weird screeching thrilling
notes
It's the song of the ZUZU bird.
The zuzu bird is a creature
That has been seldom seen
He travels about in the darkness
I saw him last night in a dream
JHe is twice the size of a Woofus
His wings are made of brass
He has iron claws like ice tongs,
While his head is made of glass
His eyes are like streaks of fire
And his feathers are bright colored
sticks,
His tail is lonk and curly,
When he flies it ticks and ticks.
He is n hideous creature,
On the mountain he is King,
Children should be home in bed,
When the ZUZU -starts to sing.

BUCKNELL FROSH
HERE TONIGHT

Coal Township to Play Preliminary
Game.

The Normal boys who l'ecently suffered defeat at the hands of Shippensburg Normal are all set after a
week of grilling practice to meet the
University boys tonight and stage o
comeback that will more than offset
last week's defeat.
Don 't be discouraged because of
the defeat last week, but get out tonight and watch the Bloomsburg basketeers do their stuff since they have
hit their stride. It is going to be a
treat to see the Maroon and Gold
streaks pop two pointers ! Don 't miss
it!
Coal Township who is to meet the
Junior Varsity in the preliminary
game is being coached by a well
known athlete, Jerry Fitzpatrick, who
for the last few years had distinguished himself as an athlete at this institution. We are hoping that Jerry 's
squad will give the Juniors a test that
will show their real value as a basketball quintet.
