Thjs will be presented at the Lincoln auditorium probably some time in October. A class play committee, consisting of Doris Bowman, Arthur Wein stein and Edna Aernie, was ap pointed to look into the relative merits of different plays. "Seven teen" seemed to be popular with the class, and as this play has not yet been presented by a Portland high school It was thought its suc cess would be assured. The January '23 Ledgsr staff held Its first meeting Friday evening. Mable Edwards was appointed sec retary for the staff, ana a ways and means committee consisting of Miss Harrington, Doris Sprague, Mildred Jones, Fred Standering and Isaac Davis was appointed to ar range activities by which money could be made to alleviate the pres ent low financial standing of the Ledger.

The staff has now been thoroughly organized and Is ready to take care of the reg ular business of printing a weekly, that will be a credit, to the school as well as to themselves.

At present the paper consists of four pages, each of which has five 18 inch columns of regular newspaper type. The first page is always taken up with the latest or most important happenings of the various school activities. There are- edl torials, stories. Jokes and many other items that fill the"other three pages. Then, too, there are the ad vertisements, which make it possible to issue the paper at a nominal cost to the students.

Stewart as a nominating committee to make up and present to the club at the next meeting a list of candidates for the various offices. It was decided that the club's receiving set needed reno vating, so Donald Wright was ap pointed to superintend, the work.

About 20 old members and 10 visitors were present. - Acting upon the invitation of Jo seph B. Gilsdorf a majority of the active members of the Benson Tech Boosters' club journeyed to his home on the evening of September 15 to talk over the future activities of the club, and at the same time have a good time. -The latter part of the evening was most enjoyably spent in playing games, etc. Miss Eliza beth Gilsdorf served the oys with delightful refreshments. ,.. Last Monday the January '23 class hld a special meeting in room 32. A budget committee, consisting of Kenneth Ranch, chairman; John Duffield, William Gemmell, Max An houry and Curtis Schade, was ap pointed to determine the amount of ind!vidual class dues required of the class.

They are as follows: Assist ant editor, A. G. Leidigkeit; sports editor, Ed Zumwalt: shop editor, Kenneth Rauch; club editor, Harry Harris; snapshots, John Smith; jokes editor, John Duffield; car toons, "Bevo" Thomas and Kenneth ( Paul, Curtis Schade to the office of Poly Tech business manager, after which the meeting adjourned. During the past two weeks sev eral former students of Benson who nave been graduated were welcomed back by the teachers . and students. Sam Waddle, who was graduated with the June '22 class, Js plan ning to attend the Oregon Agri cultural college. George Radich and Lea MacPike. both members of the same class, are also going to O. A. C. Duane Lawrence, a member of the January "22 class, is attending O. A. C. William Maloney and Law rence Mahoney from the June '22 class, and Tracy Colt from the June '21 class, are all working. This term the Benson band start ed reorganization one month earlier than it has ever done before. So far about 40 boys have signed up, 18 of whom are from the new freshman class. Most of these new ones are experienced, having played in other school or private bands. H. N Stoudenmeyer has again been en gaged to direct the band. Besides the old equipment of instruments. Mr. Holden recently purchased alto and French horns, a trombone and some Turkish cymbals. Some of the old equipment which was damaged last term has been repaired by the sheet metal shop students and is now as good as new. Practice pe riods have been set for Mondays and Thursday during the first periods. The first assembly to be held this term was called during the third period of last Wednesday morning. The chief, purpose of the meeting was to celebrate the 131st anniver sary of Constitution day. Mr. Cleve land, principal, wanted to see wheth er or not the "entire student body could be crowded into the gymnas ium at one time. It was found that his could be done if about one-third of the boys stood up around the outer edges of the room. Judge Wallace McCamant was the speaker of the day. He spoke of the times before and after the revo. lutionary war and of those exstlng at the time the Constitution was written. He said that no one man was wise, enough to get up the Con stitution, but that It took the com bined w'sdom of all of the great men who lived at . that time. In summing up his talk he said that The fundamental principles of the constitution are as true a.s the first problems of arithmetic, but they are truths that will stand forever and are as strong as the rock of ages. The assembly was closed with a short yell practice, led by Harry Matheson and Kenneth Rauch. As every technical student is re quired to take foundry practice, and as that subject occurs on the list among the first-term studies, the foundry is always crowded each term with freshmen. This term is no exception, as there is a total of 284 students enrolled. This number necessitated the transfer of aoout 70 students from that shop to the woodworking shop. However, this still leaves an average of slightly over 60 students per class." At the fire squad meeting of last Tuesday Darwin Marrln, John Cran dall, August Leidigkeit, Andrew Cornfoot and Leland Delaney were instructed as a committee to order 75 badges for the various members of the squad. A dlscussfon arose as to how many members the squad should be composed of. A sample of the style of badge to be ordered was passed around for inspection. James John Orchestra Is Reorganized. Fonrth-Temert Hike and Picnic. Science Classes Work on White Pine Pest. The class then proceeded to elect I Keilig.

John Smith was elected pres ident; Willard Barzee, ice-president; Leslie Lloyd, secretary; Hold en Le Roy, treasurer, and Lloyd Lee( sergeant-at-arms. The entire list of last term's officers was grad uated with the June '22 class. Tne graduated members are as follows: William Kurtz, Sam Waddle. Charles Snyder, Fred Burelback and James BY JOY EFTELAND. DURING the past week the or chestra has been reorganized for the term under the leadership of Mr. Millard. A large number of new students have joined and the mem bers feel confident that this term's orchestra will be one of the best that James John has ever had. At 10 A. M-, Saturday, September 16, a group of fourth termers chap eroned by Miss Hollenbeck left for the Linnton hills where they ate their appetizing picnic lunch and hiked through the autumn woods until 5 o'clock. The science classes are exploring St. Johns in search of any symptoms of the fatal pine blister rust which is rapidly devastating many of America's white pine forests. These classes are making a complete study of this tree disease and they will do all they can to check its progress in the west. The gift made to the school by the June '22 class recently arrived. It consists of a collection of interest ing books, among which are: "A Dictionary of Phrase and Fable" by Brewer; "Curiosities of Popular Cus toms" by Walsh; "An American An thology" by Stedman and "The Reader's Handbook" by Brewer.

THE MARRIED LIFE OF HELEN AND WARREN BY MABEL HERBERT TJRJVER. flelenV Dramatic Urge for Sentiment Subjects Her td Harrowing Ordeal Which Gave Her Thrilling Glimpse of Husband's Fiery Love for Her, So Successfully Concealed Beneath His Grouchiness Remorse of Deception Is Considered Worth-While. BY MABEL HERBERT AMES, Creator of "Helen and Warren" Char acters. ATER'S not hot enough." Warren emerged from the bathroom, the hot-water bag in his hand. "Tell Nora to heat some. And, dear, while you're out there, tell her I want only one piece of bread in that milk toast." "Never get well if you don't eat more," grumblingly he strode out to the kitchen. , Wearily Helen turned her rumpled pillow. She had been, ill for two weeks. This was the second Sun day Warren had relieved the nurse, and already his patience was wan ing. She shuddered from the thought of ever being an invalid. Few men could remain devoted under the strain of a wife's long Illness. A fervent prayer that Warren would never be put to that test! She was getting better. In an other week she would be up and then how zealously she would guard her health. She had planned out a rigid re gime of diet, vitalic breathing and exercise. She would spend less time worrying over trifles and more in studying hygiene. She would make it a religious duty to keep well. "Here you are!" Warren came in with the red rubber bag. '.'Where d'you want it at your feet? Care ful it's hot!" "Oh, it's leaking! Take it out quick!" With a muttered oath he snatched out the dripping bag. "It's just the stopper," she took it from him. "You didn't screw it in tight. Dear, you'll have to' get a towel the bed's all wet." "That little spot. That'll dry. Move over on the other side. Jove, you'd keep half a dozen nurses busy. You're too blamed fussy!" Was it "fussy" to shrink from the discomfort of a wet sheet? She would have Nora change it when she came in with the tray. "That all, now?" Warren took up his paper. "Well, here's where I get a little rest. You've kept me trotting all afternoon." "I'm sorry, dear, but I can't help being sick." Who said you couldr he snapped. "But you needn't be so darned par ticular about every little thing. Eh, what's that?" . "Nothing. I was. just thinking of poor Mrs.-Osgood. - sne s been in bed two years now. I'm afraid you wouldn't be as patient as he is." You bet I wouldn't! She's -one of the whiny, fretful kind. Poor old Osgood's up against it- What's that striking? Four? Means some damn thing." ."That pink tonic," apologetically. Then he hurled down his paper and started for the bathroom. "Dear, rinse the spoon off well." He returned with a bottle in one hand and. a tablespoon in the other. "I can't take it without water," meekly, as he poured out the dose. "Oh, all right!" His tone imply ing her unreasonableness, he thrust the brimming spoon into her hand and stalked back to the. bathroom. Helen stared at the bottle he had left on the table by the bed. It was not her medicine! The bottle was the same size and shape, but it was hair tonic, a special pre scription she had had filled last year. What if she had taken it? What would have happened? What would Warren have done when he found he had poisoned her? She pictured him kneeling by the bed his terror his remorse! The dramatic possibilities of the situa tion throbbed through her. Swiftly, yielding to a half-formed impulse, she leaned forward and drained the spoon back into the unstoppered bottle. "Now don't ask if this glass has been washed,' 'irritably, as he en tered with the dripping bathroom tumbler. One hand at her throat, the empty spoon in the other. Helen pointed dumbly to the bottle on the table. "Hair tonic!" hoarsely, as he read the label. "You you took it" There was no need to voice the lie. The actress, latent in every woman, now , possessed her. Her hands still at her throat, she stared at him witfi wide, fear-stricken eyes. He' dashed out to the kitchen, shouting orders to Nora. The next moment he was back, a milk bottle in his hand. "Drink ' this!"he forced it upon her. "Quick!" Nauseated at having to drink from the cloudy bottle, she took a reluctant sip. - "More! Drink it all! Milk's an antidote for any poison!" Then, as she could not drink from the bottle, he Jerked up the tum bler, dashed the water on the rug and filled it with milk, which she gulped down. Helen was now terrified at his white set face. What had she done? "Does It burn?" his arms about her, he was holding her tight. "Not not much." She wanted to cry out: "I didn't take it!" But somehow the words would not come. "Dr. Boyd'll be here in a minute. Nora's gone after him." "It it may not be poisonous," she faltered, hoping frantically that the doctor would ,not be In his office. "Oh, Kitten, Kitten! How could I have been so careless?" His voice broke, his arm tightened about her. For the moment she forgot her contrition in her thrilled exultancy at this proof of his love. "If if anything should happen, I I'd want It to be quick. I don't want ever to be an Invalid," she was making the most of the situa tion. "Nothirfg's going to. happen,' kissing her fiercely. Then desper ately, "Why don't that doctor come?" "It may may not be poisonous, I may not have taken enough." "But we can't be sure! We can't take any chance. I told Nora if Boyd wasn't in, to keep going until she got some doctor in the neigh borhood and to have him bring a stomach pump." "A stomach pump?" quavered Helen. "That's the safest way. Oh, Kit ten, Kitten!" Again he held her tight. A stomach pump! Helen's appre ciation of the dramatic ebbed at the ghastly thought of a stomach pump. "Oh, I can't they're so . awful. Oh, Warren, I didn't tajce enough I know it isn't poisonous!" "Darling, you'll do this for me! If anything should happen to you " He held her with a fierce ness that hurt. At any other time Helen would have touched the heights at this rare demonstration of his love. It had been years since he had called her "darling." But now everything grew black before direful visions of the stomach pump. "There's the doctor. Thank God!" Warren dashed out to the hall. Helen lay motionless, her heart thumping painfully. It had gone too far. She dared not tell the truth now. "Let's see that bottle!" demanded Dr. Boyd, as he entered the room. Helen was again struck by War ren's grim , pallor as he snatched the bottle of hair tonic from the bedside table. "How much, did you say? A tablespoonf ul ?" "Yes, a full tablespoon. I poured it out myself, huskily. "I can't tell what's in it until analyze it. But a lot of this stuff now is mostly wood alcohol." "Wood alcohol! Quick! Get busy with that pump!" Warren's uncon scious slang contrasted strangely with his agitation. Helen saw the black bag opened and the formidable stomach pump with its ominous tubing taken out. The horror that widened her eyes was no longer assumed, as 'with sick dread she watched the doctor's hurried preparations. ( .. She longed to shriek out the truth. but she had not the courage. She could not acknowledge her decep tion now! Se would have to see it through. An hour later Helen lay back weak and exhausted, her face as white as the linen case. The ordeal was over. She had gone through it as one goes througH some Balutary penance. It was her last lie! Never again should her love of the dramatic lead her into falsehood not even an im plied falsehood. ' "Poor Kitten!" Warren wasstrok ihg her hands. "But it's all right now. Doctor says there's no more danger." "Has he gone?" weakly. "Yes, but he's coming over at nine to see that you're all right for the night. You're a brick. Kitten! That was pretty tough, with you as weak as you are. Well, you mustn't think of It now. Want me. to read to you r "No, I just, want you to' sit here and talk to me," clinging to his arm. Then, feeling that her suffering had entitled her to still further ex pressions of his love, she mur mured wistfully. "Dear, if anything had happened would you have missed me very much f "Don't be mushy!" reaching for a magazine. "What d'you want me to read you? Here's a story by Alice Barr Wendell. You're keen on her stuff." "Not now, I'd rauch rather you'd talk to me. Dear, do you know," reaching for the hand he had with drawn, "you called me 'darling"? And you haven't not for years." "Huh, now that's over let's for get it," briskly. "Here's a good base ball yarn by Will Crawford. You turn over there and listen to this." Helen realized that her hour was over. Her ardor, that had flamed up when he thought she was In peril, had. as swiftly cooled down. she could not prone rrora him an other expression of endearment. And yet as she listened unhear ingly to the latest baseball effusion of illiteracy and slang, she won dered if she really was sorry for her deception. After all, had it not been worth it? That one thrilled glimpse of his fiery love for her, so successfully concealed beneath his grouchiness, was. worth the remorse of her de ception and even the ordeal of the stomach pump!
