EDITORIAL SLANG Slang is the means of expression of individuals whose intellect is too feeble to grasp something better. It is the evidence of a limited vocabulary, and a warped understanding of the English tongue. It is decidedly not a sign of individuality, for "everyone," popularly speaking, uses it. The one who uses slang may consider that in doing so he is classifying himself as "different" but he is sadly mistaken for he is only "following the crowd." "When in Rome to do as the Romans do" may be a good idea in. some cases, but it is not applicable in the case of the usage of slang. Slang is like any fabrication of the real article. Anything that is non-genuine is not acceptable, and never will be acceptable as long as the pure King's English is in use. Students, we are in college now, let us rid ourselves of any and all semblances of our high school days. LOAFING Loafing is the gentle art of busying oneself and keeping others from working. Neither the one loafing, nor the one kept from his work are benefited, in fact the result is highly detrimental to both. The loafer is doubly to blame, he wastes his own time as well as that of someone else. Loafing is a never failing topic for a public speaker, and any and all persons who make it their duty to instruct the younger generation in the "straight and narrow." Parents are usually past masters in the latter occupation. Loafing can be likened to no other pastime. It is strictly unique, and is the one "study" in which most students are, very painstaking in perfecting themselves. "Weber never quits! You may pound her, You may beat her, But you never can defeat her, She's up again and at it, For Weber never quits." A B usmess The late J. P.

Library Grows Our College library is growing. Within the last month more than 300 books have been added. One hundred were contributed by Mrs. David Eccles among which are several volumes of "The World's Best Music." Mr. Lawrence Coffin, of New York City, also contributed 9 Volumes of the works of Robert L. Stevenson, and Dr. J. G. Lind contributed 3 Volumes of Prescott's "Conquest of Mexico." We greatly appreciate the attitude of these friends who are assisting to increase Weber's Library.

Will the finder please return to Josephine Rhees? Hint! By the Alhambra Theatre iffanij DORODY THIX TALKS The management of this paper has secured at a great cost, Miss Dorody Thix's discussions on love, marriage, and other perils. It is our plan to give these talks to the students every time the paper is issued, for the benefit of those who may have prob lems relative to these subjects which they would like solved. Advice to the Lovelorn I have prepared a list of rules for you girls, which I hope may guide you in the choice of a man. 1. Choose a man who has a good disposition. 2. Choose a man who will love you "When the silver threads are shining mong the gold." 3. Choose a man who will not run around with other womenj 4. Choose a man who will not be jealous. 5. Choose a man who is so good-looking that you will love him always. 6. Choose a man at whom no other woman will look. 7. Choose a good provider. 8. Choose a man with no faults. 9. In other words, girls, look around BUT 10. Be an OLD MAID. Miss Thix will also conduct a question box, that students may obtain free of charge, answers to the questions which are troubling them. Dear Miss Thix: I have been going out with a girl for some time, but lately she has seemed cold. What shall I do? I'ma Dumb. Dear Mr. Dumb: I suggest that you present the lady in question with a "Wearever" heater, and a pair of mittens, which may assist in alleviating the condition which you mention. Dear Dorody Thix: I am head over heels in love with a football man, but I fear he is fickle, shall I leave him alone? Noesno Better. Dear Miss Better: If you don't I'll always think you should. Remember that the old phrase, "One Among Many" originally referred to an1 athlete's girl. Dorody Thix. Dear Miss Thix: I went out with a keen fellow last night, who told me that he had never yet kissed a girl. What am I to infer from this? Otherwise he seemed to be perfectly rational. Puzzled Gel. Dear Puzzled Gel: Accomodations are being made for this interesting speciman in the cell 185,673, 290 Provo, Utah. Sorry, Clementine! but I thought he was too good to be true. Dear Dorody Thix: In your opinion, what is the proper length of time for a sedate male faculty member to hold a student's hand. Curious. P. S. The student happens to be feminine. Dear Curious: In view of the fact just mentioned. I should say that it is perfectly proper for him to hold the students hand until another male faculty member comes along, then it is decidedly out of place. Dorody Thix. Dear Dorody Thix: Last night, I went to the White City and afterwards I went to a party where I had about half a dozen glasses of cider some near beer a couple of cocktails, and then some real old Scotch. I became slightly inebriated, having never tasted any of the stuff before. Did I do anything wrong? Sheesa Aig. Dear Miss Aig: You probably did. Dorody Thix. Address all questions to, Dorody Thix, Care, Weber Herald. The poorest education that teaches self-control is better than the best that neglects it. Anon. A boy may get through Echool, but does school "get through" the boy? O. H. S. CLASSICUM OUT The first issue of the Ogden High School Classicum ap peared Thursday forenoon. 1 he stan headed by Jeanne Chez presented an issue well worth commending. They promise us a bigger and bet ter edition for Christmas. It will contain many new fea tures including the prize story or poem selected from the present literary contest now under way. SHOTS AT WORK The Military Department of the -High School is carefully preparing for the competition for the Hearst Trophy. The Rifle Team has won the Trophy two consecutive times. With everyone behind the team we will win it once more, then it will be ours forever. New equipment has been received and the newly constructed rifle range will aid the team materially. SCHOOL DRAMA The Ogden High School Play, "Come Out of the Kitchen" is to be read Friday afternoon by Miss Watkins the Oral Expression Teacher. All students interested are asked to be present as the try- outs for parts in the play may be held next week. Much interest both in the High School and in Weber will be centered around our Annual Drama, so it is bound to prove successful. GAMMA KAPPA CLUB The Gamma Kappa Club of the High School was addressed Wednesday afternoon by the musical instructor of the school, Mr. Hinchcliff. He spoke on oratory and fundamental principles of music. This same club is sponsoring the literary contest in the school and will present a prize to the winner. T. N. T. BOOSTER The T. N. T. Booster was issued during the second period Friday. It contained all data and information regard ing the clash with Box Elder High. Greater spirit and pep was stimulated by the "Booster". It will create an interest in all future games and in the "Tiger Eleven." FEUD IS ENDED The medieval warring spirit between High and Weber is under the sod at last. Perhaps that explains why Ogden High displays such splendid spirit this year. Theex-We-berites were always noted for school patriotism and with them behind us, the Student Body of the school will be successful in all student activities in the future. The Davis g'ridders meet the Ogden High men in the final league game of the season! at Davis on Friday 16. Box Elder and Bear River tangle the same day. Student, (reading a manu script written by' Rigby Jacobs) Who wrote this? Another student, "I don't know; he must be a great man, though." Student, "Why?" Another, "I can't read his signature."When a mistake turns out to be profitable it is no longer called a mistake. The Secret of Eternal Youth Special Morning MATINEE Edna-Wallace-Hopper Will take her morning beauty bath on the stage go through her daily exercise and dress for the street. NO MEN WANTED Saturday, Nov. 10th 11 A. M. AT THE ORPHEUM The Great Ameri can Pastime The first chewing gum was spruce gathered from the cuts and bruises on fir trees. This gum had a high resistance to pressure and a strong taste so that it took a hardy pio neer or woodsman to tackle it. After a course of training on such gum almost any woodsman could lick his weight in wildcats, and so it happened that a favorite method of training for a fight was to get some spruce gum and chew it. Notwithstanding the fact that spruce gum had many good qualities it did not make much of a hit with the public so that the practice of chewing gum gradually died out. This lack of something to chew was noticed by an inventive genius and he con ceived the idea of sweetening pure paraffin wax and selling it for gum. I his kind of gum proved more popular with the general public, chiefly because it was much easier -to comb out of the whiskers than spruce gum was. CHICLE USED However, about 1885 the United States imported almost a million pounds of chicle to use as a substitute for rubber. Obviously there was not a market for such an immense amount of rubber goods at that time, so in order that they might not become over stocked the manufacturers decided to feed their excess to the public. This arrangement proved to be so satisfactory that all the chicle that was imported after that went to Mr. Wrig-ley instead of to Mr. Goodyear.This is a brief summary of how chicle came to be chosen as the ideal chewing substance. We will now get down to brass tacks and consider how it is made into the familiar form which we all love so well. When the chicle comes out of the tree it has the appearance of milk, but it gradually changes to a thick, yellow mixture. When this mixture is boiled and most of the water is evaporated it is changed to a solid cake that is light gray in color and is known as crude chicle. Nearly all of the crude chicle is sent to Canada where it is refined still more before it comes to the United States. GUM MANUFACTURE When this chicle arrives at Mr. Wrigley's establishment it is sent through a grinder and is then thoroughly dried of all remaining moisture. This drying process is the most difficult which the manufacturer has to face because when the chicle comes to him it is almost 30 water, and it must be perfectly dry before it can be used. After all moisture has been removed the pure chicle is melted by intense heat and is sent through a filter. This filter sterilizes the chicle and also takes out the dirt and grit, so that when the chicle comes out it is as pure as distilled water. The chicle is then cooked in large, revolving kettles and sugar is added while the cooking is going on. From the cooking kettles it is sent to the kneading machine. Here it is kneaded until it has about the consistency of dough and then flavoring is added. It is then sent through a machine which rolls and cuts it into the proper size. The chicle now changes its name to gum and is sent to a drying room to be dryed for a day and a half. When the gum is dry it is sent thru a machine which puts on the paper and tin foil wrappers and counts five sticks to a package. The gum is then packed and shipped to the various college towns throughout the country. The reason for sending it to college towns is obvious. Judging from the movement of the jaws of some Weber students an enormous quantity of this "saliva stimulator" is consumed daily. Mable Gibson, "I hear the landlady's son kissed your sister, last night." Sarah McFarland, "No it was only a rumor." "What is the matter with Junius?" "He strained his back, wearing all of his W's at once." A Letter to Investors The following letter was received from the "Cat and Rat Fur Co.," which is situated in Dubuque, Iowa. This company seems to be furthering a worthy cause and we feel that the students should give it their earnest support. We have spoken to several students who have expressed their willingness to handle any stock that might be sold to members of this institution. A special clique of girls who are well known in school, and who are designated as the "Tabby Cats," together with certain members of the Nigger's Club, will be asked to act as attraction's for any stray cats or rats which may come in. I he letter is as follows:Dubuque, Iowa, Nov. 5, 1923. Mr. O. Cedar Mop; Ogden, Utah, My dear friend: Knowing of your good business judgment, we take the liberty to address vou on a subject which to us, seems a most wonderful business proposition. You, no doubt, will wire us immediately for a thousand shares. Care "Julian Dubuque" (America's most beautiful hotel.) The object of the company is to operate a cat ranch. To start with, we will collect 100,000 cats. Each cat will have 12 kittens a year on the average. The skins will run from 10 cents for the white to 75 cents for the pure black ones. This will give us twelve million skins per year, which will average 30 cents each, or a revenue of about ten thousand dollars per day gross. We can get men to skin 50 cats per day for $2.00. It will take one hundred men to operate this ranch. The n,et profit will be $9,800 per day. We will feed the cats on rats as we will operate a rat ranch the next door. The rats multiply four times as fast as the cats. If we start with one million rats, we will have four rats for each cat, which is plenty. We will feed the rats on the cats that have been skinned, giving each rat one fourth of a cat, It will be seen that the business is self supporting from the start. The cats will eat the rats and the rats will eat the cats and we will reap the profits. You will please not men tion this to outsiders, as just at this time there is a very decided stand being taken against profiteering, and we do not wish to have the ill will of anyone. Hoping to hear from you promptly, and believing you will appreciate the opportunity which we are extending to you as a personal friend, We remain, very truly yours, THE CAT AND RAT FUR COMPANY. By O. U. Fool, Secretary. Thirteenth Ward Captured One of the principal features of the College program at the 13th Ward last Sunday night was the extemporaneous talk of Clarence Brown, president of the Sophomore class. Brown was sitting quietly in the rear listening to the glee club ladies sing, enjoying especially Myra's "Intermezzo from Cavallierre Rus-ticanna." He was aroused by the rude invitation from Professor Manning, who was in charge of the program, to a-rise and say a good word for W e b e r College. He arose, cleared his throat (that is after he had mounted the pulpit) and began thus. "Kind Friends of Weber College: (long pause). This invitation has left me dry and breathless." Then Clarence found his wind and a spring must have burst forth in his neck for before the congregation could wink its eye, he set up a pace for the period of five minutes like a Kansas Cyclone. He told them more about Weber in that time than they had ever known before. And when he made his spirited finish, good mothers were heard to sigh, " A h , Wasn't he grand." We said "A M E N" for he was. Professor Manning says that Marriott, Tribe, Monson, Wheelwright, Tanner, Field, Poulter and others will be rapid firers in the Weber Publicity Campaign. (Uncensored W. H. M.) SUPPOSE Suppose students were foolish enough to wish: That themes weren't required in English Composition. That the chemistry lab. period was abandoned. That dancing classes were held instead of theology. That w e had football games oftcner. That there weren't dates to remember in History. That collateral readings were never assigned. That there was no "red tape" to getting library books. That mathematics were not required. That teachers were always in a g'ood humor. That studying didn't become so tiresome. That exams were never given. That work missed didn't have to be made up. Would things be changed very much? SOPHMORES WIN IN BARKER CONTEST (Continued from Page 1) discussion was "The Benefits to be derived from the Weber Gymnasium." Katherine Cannon spoke for the Sophomores and Van Tanner for the Freshmen. The subject assigned to Miss Cannon was, "The Benefit of the Weber Gymnasium to the School." She brought out the fact that sound bodies make sound minds and that thru the Gymnasium the College would receive additional impetus. Van Tanner discussed the topic, "How the Gymnasium will benefit the Women of the Community." He stated that work in the Gymnasium would aid the women and girls of this community to attain grace of body and alertness of mind due to physical development. This contest was very close the vote of the judges giving a two to one decision to the Sophomores. The Judges were Professors Jensen, Oborn and Osmond. PROF. BARKER PRESENT Professor Barker was present and gave a short talk in which he told the students the advantages of Weber over some larger colleges. He told the students that the speaking contest should be extended and that the classes should choose students to represent them who were inexperienced. This would be a means of uncovering the undeveloped talent of the school, which is one of the purposes of the extemporaneous speaking contest. In conclusion he told the students to get all the training Weber offers before going elsewhere to school. OUR TEACHERS WORK ON SUNDAY (Continued from Page 1) outlined was carried out. There were not many people in attendance in the morning but at the afternoon session, when the needs and methods of religious education were discussed, there was a large crowd present. It was found that in Garland the school board is in favor of letting the Religion Classes use the school buildings for their meetings. In all phases of the Religion Class work the representatives of the General Board can report favorable conditions. Professors Tanner and Wi nsor Professors Tanner and Winsor went to Wanship, Summit Stake, to attend the Religion Class Convention held there. The same favorable conditions prevailed there, as in the other towns visited. The Bishops High Councilmen and Stake Boards of Education are assisting in the organization and outlining of the work and many wards are doing very excellent work along this line. EDNA WALLACE HOPPER AT ORPHEUM SATURDAY Unique preparations have been made at the Orpheum for the exclusive matinee for "Women Only," which will be staged by Edna Wallace Hopper, famed Floradora beauty, next Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock.
