This contest last year created much enthusiasm and rivalry between the two schools. This year it will undoubtedly be a hotly contested battle, for both schools feel that they have good material among the students. The winning speaker will receive a beautiful medal. All students who are interested in public speaking are urged to enter the contest. Cyril Ekins (to doctor): Can vou hilp me? My name is Cyril Ekins? Doctor: No I certainly can't help that.

ACORN TO BE BEST YEAR BOOK WEBER HAS PRODUCED The Acorn, the annual souvenir publication of the Weber Normal -College, promises to be by far the best year-book yet produced by the school. The material will be submitted to the publishers in the near future. It is expected that the book will be ready for distribution to the students and faculty members on the twentieth of May. The concentrated efforts of the students on the Acorn staff have resulted in a book of which the students of Weber will be proud. The book will contain a prize essay, a prize story and a prize poem. This material is already in the hands of the judges. The book will also contain, in addition to these literary productions, snapshots, individual pictures of the members of each class at the school, and pictures of various departments and activities of Weber College. The price of the book this year will be three dollars. The higher prices of material and printing have boosted the cost of publication and it is therefore necessary to raise the price to the students. All students are urged to subscribe for the Acorn. An initial payment of one dollar is required and the remainder may be paid when the book is received. It is requested by the staff that all students intending to subscribe do so immediately, so that some estimate of the number of books needed can be made. BRIEF MENTIONS Miss Cora Mortenson spent two days in Salt Lake City last week. She says she went up to the University of Utah to gather impressions. It seems that Phil Jeppson, Ken Mills, Ellis Barker, Bryan Wotherspoon, Tom Browning, and several other former Weber students were among the most interesting impressions she gathered. Miss Aura Bennett and Mr. Carl Ballantyne were both reported absent on Monday, February 7th. May we ask how this very singular coincidence occurred? Miss Wealtha Bramwell and Mr. Leon Bush were seen going into the City Court House last Monday. How about it Leon? Miss Helen Purdy, Mr. Elmer Davis, Miss Louise Purdy and Mr. Eldon Dye drove up to Brigham to the game Friday before last. For some reason or other Mr. Davis ddin't appear in school until this Friday morning. Be more careful how you treat him after this, Helen. A carfull of girls, driven by Miss Margery Brewer, was headed for Brigham the night of the Weber-Brigham game and would have arrived there successfully if the car hadn't tipped over about ten miles from Ogden. It seems the girls were in a hurry and the car was rather unevenly balanced on Margery's side so what else could it do? After adjusting the car it wa too late for the forlorn and weary girls to continue on their way to the game, so they returned home. THE FOOLISHEST SORT OF THING (Quotations from a book read for G. H. English.) "As the fast train neared the curve, a grating of brakes was heard, which signified that it was rapidly losing momentum. But it was too late! The bridge crossing the deep chasm had been swept away by the flooding space!!! But only to light safely on the track of the other side and keeping going at a terrific speed. The engineer uttered a heavy sigh of relief, which was re-echoed down the train by many of the terrified passengers. But our hero sat calmly smoking a cigarette all the while.'' "The large yellow-haired Nero took his next to the last breath, and ti!rd, with a shriek issuing from his thin red lips." , "He rolled down into the black swamp and was seen no more except once, and that was the last time." "Just as the villain took the poison off the shelf, the sun went down with a bump." "After being shot six times through the heart our hero fell down and would have died, but he lit on a pin." A. Richards. Miss L. Cannon: Who was Saul's son? Doris Taylor: Jonathan. Theo. Wilson: Who was Saul? Miss Cannon: Jonathon's father. THE ANTI-CIGARETTE BILL PASSES SENATE The anti-cigarette bill that has been discussed and amended so many times by the state legislature has now passed the senate and is waiting in the hands of a committee.The White and Blue of the B. Y.' U., Provo, Utah, and the Student Rays of the Ricks Normal College, Reburg, Idaho, have discussed this question and both join to help make it successful. Thomas E. McKay, president of Weber's school board, has been leading the fight in the senate. This is one reason why the students of Weber Normal College should join with the other church schools in suporting this campaign.

ALLEN SPEAKS ON CONDITIONS IN THE NEAR EAST Continued from page One Character Shown The speaker then told of the trouble when an order came for the return of the eighty girls. "We succeeded in persuading them that they might have been mistaken in the number, and they finally consented to take a smaller number. "Then was exhibited character of the highest type. We went to the old women, women who were neither the mothers nor sisters of those we had rescued, and asked for volunteers to go back to a life worse than death in the place of the eighty young girls. Fifteen stepped forward and returned with the officers.

Rescues Girl The girls, Dr. Allen said, whom the Turks were stealing for the harems, were girls from the American schools. "We did our best to save them. In one case a very beautiful girl was betrothed to a young American doctor on our staff. She was sold for two hundred and fifty dollars into a harem. Most of the girls were sold for about two and a half dollars, but she was well educated and beautiful, so she brought a larger s.um. On the night that she was to be taken I made a trip to a nearby village and the doctor pleaded with me, asking me to do all in-my power to rescue her. With another man for companion, I made my way into the village just before dusk. No one would direct us to the hiding place of the girl until we explained our nationality and purpose. When we found her she was in a bin, buried almost completely in flour. We dusted the flour from her clothes, placed her on the horse behind me, and rode rapidly over the moors. Narrow Escape "The land was extremely marshy and we feared that we might be trapped in the quicksand. In attempting to get to the main road, my companion tried to cross a particularly dangerous place, but his horse began to sink, so we continued to skirt the marshes for some little distance before again at - Tanner Company From $7 .50 to $12.50 a Pair s 2358 Washington Ave. Noodle Parlor Phone 94 1 w tempting to reach the main road. In that lay our salvation, for at the ! very time that we first tried to ! cross, the Turks were coming down the main road to enter the village for the eirl. Tf wo J-., 6 I should not be here to tell you about it, for it is a very serious thing for a white man to steal a girl. "We were very happy when we placed her under the protection of the American flag. Appeal tor Help "Though we were few in number and unarmed men, the Turkish officers and soldiers dared not molest anyone under the protection of the American flag. The work which was done to relieve suffering was wonderful, but it is not complete. You will be called on to contribute from your plenty to relieve the suffering of these destitute lands. I hope you will never have the memories which I have of misery and poverty, but I hope you will use your sympathy to picture the condition in these war-stsicken lands. Contribute when you are called upon to support this worthy cause." Dr. Allen's talk was received with enthusiasm by the students. At its conclusion President Ricks stated that the students had fasted one day and had contributed to the funa for the relief of war-stricken countries. This fast was general throughout the church. Dr. Allen then thanked the students for their support. Frank Douglas led the students in yells in honor of thevisitors. |
