An excellent energetic group of girls ni<le<i li.v fate uml the weather go to make ip) a Freshman elans at Hendricks hail, that the sophomores will have I" get up very early in the morning to heat. lty the stealthy footsteps and muffled laughter heard around the nice hour of r. Thursday morning, the upper class women realized with a sigh that fresh man invitation by the sophomores had begun. Hut the stealthy footsteps were not those of esteemed sophomores routing out supposedly sleepy frosh. Instead they belonged to the hastily formed vigi inntes' committee of freshman who took r [ il upon themselves to awake their tavn members, get. them over to the try sting place ahead of time and thereby steal ■t march on their worthy superiors. Strange to say, it all worked well, instead of marching over in twos under the personal supervision of the sopho mores they were on the steps of the Ad. building when the latter arrived and im pudently greeted them with it song dis closing the fact that the secret informa tion of what the badges were to be had somehow leaked out. (toll was called and in due ceremony each girl was presented with a green clothespin to be worn during the time of initiation, which is two days. Then one by one they filed back to the hall. Hut (lotespins are minor details and the least of their worries. What is more moom enient, not to say aggravating at times, is not being able to speak at the table i xcept in terms of “yes, please,” and ‘‘no, thank you.” Then, too, napkins are to be worn around the neck, the hack door is the only means of entrance, a courtesy must lie effecte | befc re speech is possible to upper class w< men, no Jewelry of any kind may be worn and they are not to sit in the living room except on the floor. What worried the freshmen most was the thought of appearing on the campus always v'lth a raised umbrella. In fair weather the effect would be startling, but here again the freshmen were lucky. When morning dawned it was found that umbrella:: were a coveted possession and not a burden. MISS TINGLE URGES SAVING “The ending of the war will make a great deal of difference in home eco nomies,” said Miss Lillian Tingle, head of the homo economics department, to day. “No orders have been received as yet concerning food concentration after the war but indications before peace was declared pointed out that there would be an increased need for conserva tion now. “All foods must be carefully conserved now, although there will probably be some relaxation about bread because more ships will be available to bring in the long distance wheat. At the same time there will be an increased demand from overseas. We must aid in providing food for the repatriated people and for the prisoners of war. The difficulties of shipping to neutral countries will be lessened and a demand for food will come from them.” “The United States family will have plenty to eat hut it will have to econo mize in order that there may be a fair distribution of food for all countries. The entire outlook is much brighter now, hut we must not relax. Food conservation has brought an increase in the kealtn of the American people and this should he a lesson to us and to the generations to come. It has been a marvelous education to us and one which was badly needed, because the people of the United States hatco been the most bountifully fed, the most dispeptie, and the most extravagant people in the world.” SHAVER WINS COMMISSION I)r.

GREEN RIBBON MYSTIFIES Hendricks Hall Girls Form New Holy Order of Doughnut. Residents of Hendricks hall received a slight shock Wednesday night when it was found that some of the most es teemed members of the hall were wear ing on the left side a large and very con spicuous bow of tissue paper and green ribbon. Of course great secrecy was effected, but finally at the close of the dinner hour when one of the wearers of the tissue paper badge announced in a thor oughly matter of fact way that the mem bers of ‘The Holy Order of the Royal Purple Doughnut” would hold a meeting immediately afterwards, excitement ran high.
