Hide the Bell but Not Its Story
JF no one ean remember bow it started, it's
tradition, according to one more or loss
justified definition.
For a while it seemed that the victory bell,
so long a part of University life, was well
established in such a position, for, as the Em
erald declared yesterday, no one seemed to
know where it originated. That made it offi
cial.
But hardly had the ink dried on the story
of yesterday than the true fads began to
come to light, and with 1 heir exposure the
possible demotion in standing of the bell as
tradition. The bell had a past all right, and it
was only by chance and the story in the Em
erald that the story comes out.
Source of the new information, lost so long
as to be an unexpected find, was none other
than a man who has a habit of coming out
with things no one expects him to know. Last;
spring his scoop was a story about his mem
ories on 1 he subject of Jesse dames. Nobody
knows what will be next. And Bill Kirtley is
the only one who knows.
# # ^
rJ'TlIS victory bell, however, to continue
with the original subject, is one of I lie
most generally tickling things about the Uni
versity's extracurricular sides. Since its in
cept ion a project of tlie Order of the ‘‘t he
bell spends most of its life in complete seclu
sion, il that is indeed the word. Something
about the way the lettermen hide 1he, thing
at tin1 bottom ol tin1 millraee, or any of the
other hiding places, appeals to the imagina
tion. It has all the elements of the kind of
plum or 111 .* 11 makes pirate stories and sneli
(lie glory of’ boys, and of men who continue I
to be boys throughout life.
As for the bell itself, whenever it. is
dragged out of eoneealment there is usually
a special cause. It does not come out for just j
anything. The noise it makes is no argument;
when the victory bell comes out it is because
1he victory bell is the only answer.
Everybody will know about the bell in a
day or so, if they chance 1o read the Emerald’s
number-two attempt to clarify the past of the
bell. Only yesterday lliere was but one man
who really knew. The question for considera
tion now is whether the general, knowledge
of the facts outlaws the tradition aspect. We
rather think not, for the bell means too much
by itself.
CCORDTNGEY, theorem number one
M * stands refuted, not on particularly logical
grounds, but purely from the angle of human
nature, which will not let so colorful an article
suffer such a setback.
The cause of the victory bell brings to
mind other equally vivifying traditions which,
through lack of common knowledge, have
been allowed to slip somewhat from their
former positions. It would ... that, some
thing should lie done to bring the facts into
public view.
It is probable that there are enough Bill
Kirtleys around to supply the background
wherever it is needed. All that is required is
the finding of these authorities.
It may be Hud the victory bell started
somet king.

The Condemned—or, The Call of the Amazon
ALL thrill the hard-luck class of J43. The
freshman class was yesterday sentenced
to 1 lie Amazon mud flats 1o build the Home
coming bonfire.
They are earning the title, the freshmen.
Only a week or so ago they were faced with
the realization that the “O’’ on Skinner’s
butte was no longer a brilliant yellow, having
taken on a two-tone effect in orange and
black. This was considerably sooner than any
such thing was expected, but early or late
the frosh had to roll up the paint barrels and
restore the original color. Now, before talk
of that piece of work lias completely died
down they face another which makes the first
look like a picnic.
Selection of the location at Nineteenth and
Ferry means the frosh are up against a much
stiller proposition than they expected. In
fact the job is such that it will test their
organization to the limit before the flames
lick upward through the pile Friday night of
Homecoming.
Originally it did not look so bad for the
frosh. The chosen spot was the bare lot be
tween the music building and the school of
education. Here was supposed to be an un
used piece of ground which was acceptable to
everyone whose approval was necessary. It
was located such that the hauling operation
would be simple, and do danger was con
templated.
TJOWEVER, it didn’t take long before the
course of events made a right-about face.
Thr- projected location was to close to the
music school, and too close to residential pro
perty. The University had spent considerable
funds upon the grading of the land. Further
more there would be a .resultant problem of
clearing away the debris when the flames had
died. That was 1hat.
The position in which the freshmen now
find themselves is anything but enviable. The
mud flat, spot is such that the rally will prob
ably have to be held in tlic street, while the
bonfire must be well back from the street.
This means that every shred of material on
the bonfire will have to be bodily carried by
manpower, or froShpower, to the scene of the
stack. And the pile itself cennot be too near
a girl scout house which happens to be
around.
All in all, the frosh face a man-sized job
in the building of the bonfire, tin; frosh big
moment of fall term, and their one entry into
the Homecoming program. lit order to make
it good in the face of the new setup they will
have to dig in and produce as they have never
produced before. They will have no flaming
“0” on Skinner’s butte this year to help
them, so the bonfire will have to carry the
whole load.
Other freshman classes have built bon
fires for Homecoming, and though it has
never been easy they have usually managed
to come out of it with a pretty good score.
This year will probably be no exception, but
it is plain to see that the frosh have their
work cut out for them.

to Fields where People
Live,Whrk Achieve
T^oday there are about 1,000,000
cigar stores, drug stores, country and grocery stores where
you can buy cigarettes in the United States. These re
tailers, and the jobbers who serve them, have built up
a service of courtesy and convenience unmatched by any other
industry catering to the American public’s pleasure.
There are another million people who
are engaged directly or indirectly in the transportation of
cigarettes to every town, hamlet and crossroads.
It IS ESTIMATED that there are 1,602,000
tobacco farmers raising tobacco in 20 out of the 48
states. Good tobacco is one of the hardest crops to
raise and bring to market, requiring great skill and
patience from seed-bed planting to harvesting and cur
ing. The modern tobacco farmer has done well the job
of constantly improving the quality of his product.
The
AVERAGE LENGTH of service of the 13,230
people working in the Chesterfield factories, storage
houses, leaf-handling and redrying plants is over 10
years. This means that every step in the making of
Chesterfields, regardless of how small, is handled by peo
ple who have had 10 years of experience and ability in
knowing their jobs.
Truly TOBACCO OPENS DOORS to fields where
people live, work and achieve, and Chesterfield takes
pride in its ever increasing part in this great industry that
is devoted entirely to the pleasure of the American public.
TO SMOKERS, Chesterfield Cigarettes have
always said, and now repeat, that in no other cigarette
made can you find the same degree ofreal mildness and
good taste, or the same high quality of properly cured
and aged tobaccos. Chesterfield Cigarettes are made
with one purpose only... to give smokers everywhere
the MILDER, BETTER-TASTING SMOKING PLEA
SURE they want. You can’t buy a better cigarette.
