This Is the old-fsshloned way of making Ice-cream and the result was much better than the modern product (chiefly custard) turned out by confectioners and housewives In enameled and electrically operated re frigerator,. The modern Ice-cream resembles the old style In nothing ex cept chilliness. The old wss a frozen nectar evolved? from pure cream, after the expenditure of seemingly unend ing elbow-grease, on the end of crank. The labor Involved waa akin to eternal cranking of an Incor rigible 4d on a cold morn. And, the reward was the exclusive right to lick the paddles of the loe-cream freezer, besides his quota at meal time. If the diner took too big a spoonful, a audden frigidity hit him between the eyes. This wss due to the Ice-cresm going to the head Instead of the stomach, and could be cured with a drink of water. No great skill wss needed In the manufacture of the old style dainty. But removal of the cap from the freezer was a delicate operation, lest salt drop Into It, and taint the confection.

Commencement exercises theoretically are for the honor and glory of the sweet girl graduates. But after observing them for three days this theory like many others must be thrown into the ash can. Com mencement exercises are exclusively for the honor, glory, and pleasure of the proud and bouncing parents. They get all the fun there is to get out of these things, while the sweet girl graduates, get nothing but grief, hard work, and nervous pros tration. And as they file up, in their sombre, black caps and gowns to get their final papers, believe you mo they look like it. Of course the aforesaid caps and gowns are partially respon sible. For with the possible exception of the habiliments of inmates of our penal institutions, no garb could be more unbe coming. A graduate of the famous Vassar Daisy chain, the members being chosen like bathing beauties for pulchritude alone will look like a discarded cull from last year's apple crop, when rigged out in one of these impossible costumes. There apparently being an unwritten law against resorting to "make-up," on such a solemn occasion, added to the fact that the girls have just completed their final examinations, and have been working night and day, to secure necessary tickets for their families and friends, and keep them from getting lost in the shuffle, makes the final spectacle truly a depressing one, as far as the graduates are concerned. ' e . In short, it is a terrible ordeal for the sweet girl graduates, but a Roman holiday for papa, mama and particularly the children. Fr the latter, unlike their older sisters, have no responsibility, and no rules to observe or if there arc rules, there is no one about to enforce them. They can jump in the gym swimming pool, pick flowers about the campus, or if so inclined, play tag up and down the chapel aisle. Certainly big sisters can't attend to them, and picking out from two or three hundred, the one graduate, they produced and still bears their name. This indeed is the chief parental pursuit, and has all the intriguing qualities of a treasure hunt, a living cross word puzzle, and the picking out of the guilty party in a line of suspects, or just as no girl looks well in a cap and gown, so all look very much alike. Unless the daughter in question happens to be very fat, or very tall, or a dwarf in short something very far above or below the average, as the Class of 1934 comes up the chapel aisle, it takes sharper eyes than usually blink behind a pair of bi-focals, to readily identify them. But usually it is done even and at least one visiting grandpa, who through all the cere monies extending for three days, that they saw the young lady they had come thousands of miles to see,' although the grandpa at the right one in the baccalaureate pcerade. It is all very amusing this parental business. To illustrate we shall pick out the proud parent from Now York City, who sat at the end of the pew directly opposite to the one we occu pied. It was hot and muggy, so he wore a white linen suit, car ried in one hand a large and expensive Panama hat, and to see better, pushed his horn rimmed spectacles on the caves of his arid and prespiring forehead. When the organ pealed out the opening bars of the grand march, and the girls started up the aisle from the entrance, he like all the others, arose and faced the oncoming phalanx. As pair after pair passed by ho scanned each face carefully, and to tell the truth somewhat disapprov ingly,. Fie was very stern, and didn't seem to like what he saw. As the procession continued his expression of disapproval, be came one of open hostility. He actually glared. Then for a moment he wrinkled his forehead sufficiently to bring the glasses down on bis nose, but apparently they were clouded by the moisture, and he plainly showed his irritation, by grabbing them off, wiping them hurriedly, and placing them high up on his forehead again. During this process one couplo had passed by without the proper. inspection, and he was furiously glancing at their backs, with an expression Realizing this was wasting to his original position of, critical inspection, The tassclcd caps bobbed on slowly. Then suddenly a complete transformation. His eyes woro far down the lino, but needless to say they were good eyes. "There she was"--no doubt, expression vanished as suddenly and completely, as if some invisible hand had snatched off one mask to replace it at once with another. Did "papa" smile and did he consort, and did four eyes instead of two, beam effulgently and affectionately upon a certain bing under its tasseled cap, as it smiles, telephatio messages of nowhere else, until the littlo lady had passed on, and only her sombroly draped back was visible. Ah what relief, the march was not half over, but for him, not only was the march over, but everything for that par ticular performance was over. He folded up his program where long before he had picked out his daughter's name, put it in his coat pocket, wiped his glasses, replaced them, turned back to face the chnncel again, squared his shoulders, and assumed an expression of extreme boredom. From then on he exhibited all the signs of uneasiness and irritation, displayed by a small boy, compelled to attend a morning church service, against his will. How delighted when the sermon had been finished, and ho could make a break for the open air, and get under the influ ence of a cigarot. Yes she looked a little pale they work them too hard in these colleges anyway but how sweetly serious too, and she held liked nothing hang dog about And so nothing more doing (for him) until the NEXT pro cession. sees Speaking of the famous Daisy chain. This appears to be THE big event at Vassar, which is rather strange. For it is a very vast, magnificent and highly INTEIXKCTUAL institu tion, yet as above mentioned, girls only mako the Daisy Chain because they arc beautiful (or more nearly so than their fel low classmates). Tim members of the Senior class ehooso the elect of the Daisy Cliain from the members of the Sophomore class, after a duly appointed committee makes the necessary inspection. In its social importance, tho day of selection only surpasses Tap day at Yale, when the selections for tho seuior societies arc made, and those who are NOT tapped have been known to faint, and even quit college the day after. Papa and Mama are too busy though there were two parents never were able to be certain, least did believe he picked out of enraged frustration. valuable time, he snapped back of that! That grim censorious grab the elbow of his agitated pale littlo face, that was bob progressed up the aisloT Nods, love and encouragement, eyes but who could blame her, her chin up that's what he her. She was a truo Leffinwelll" We will say this. Vassar is full of beautiful girls, and if they would only abandon the cap and gown, this fact would be more generally acknowledged. The members of this year's Daisy Chain, would have stirred the enthusiasms of the most blase Hollywood director. And they wore pretty, becoming dresses, and unlike the poor seniors, seemed to enjoy themselves. That is all but perhaps one of them a little girl who happened to bear the end of one chain, and found it a difficult thing to do. Nothing surprising in this, the daisy chain weighs about 600 pounds which divided among 24 girls, makes the burden per capita over 25 pounds. Moreover the daisies this year were late, and most of them had to be picked from President Roosevelt's Hyde Park estate, several miles north of the college. For some reason which may or may not have anything to do with the A. A. A., the Roosevelt daisies were full of strange insects and a million or more mosquitoes. So between toting the end of a GOO pound chain and fighting mosquitoes, and whatever types of insect life habitate this section of the Hudson River valley, tho pretty little girl in question didn't particularly enjoy the afternoon. However, she made the Daisy Chain and that is worth a lot of suffering, and puts her picture in the Vassar archives for all time! R. W. R.

HOW TO DEAL WITH STINGS AND BITES Mosquito bites may be relieved by touching with aromatic spirits of nmmonlR. or peroxide of hydrogen, or lodln, or by rubbing with a bit of wet soap, or by sponging with a tepid so lution of a hand ful of saleratus (sodium bicar bonate) in a quart of water. Bedbug bites ditto. For relief of the stings of bees, ants and wusps, immediate toucnlng of ' the spot with peroxide, or the applica tion of an emulsion made by mix ing and shaking thoroughly together one ounce of crude petroleum, two teaspoonfula of water, a good pinch or two of common soap powder or chips, and forty grains of lodln. Wood ticks lodge on the skin, In sert proboscis and suck blood till they become swollen to the size of small peas. Do not brush them off and leave the proboscis burled in the skin. Apply oil of peppermint or turpentine or tobacco juice and the tick will loosen and fall off. Jiggers are minute bright red mites that attack the skin of berry patch workers or persons who go among tall weeds and grass late in the summer. A warm salt water bath as soon as possible after exposure, or application of sulphur ointment will kill the mites In the skin. Wear gaiters and sprinkle flowers of sul phur In the stockings before en tering fields or berry patches. A bite by the black widow spider Is often a serious emergency and re quires Immediate medical attention. No succesful antidote or remedy has been developed. The best treatment Is Immediate Incision and sucking the wound, together . with general stimulants. Rattlesnakes are the most com mon venomous snakes In this coun try. Bites by the other two venom ous snakes of North America cop perheads and moccasins, are com paratively rare. Nine times out of ten rattlesnake bite proves a minor injury. The best treatment Is im mediate injection of antlvenln int..-) the tissues about the fang marks. If no antlvenln is at hand the next best treatment is immediate criss cross incisions with a razor blade, needle or piece of glass, to encour age bleeding, then sucking the wound, then application of a tight bandage or tourniquet around the limb above the bite. But this must be loosened for half a minute every five minutes. If the emergency kit contains potassium permanganate, either inject a wine colored solution about the bite or rub some of the powdered permanganate Into the wound after sucking. The victim must not run or otherwise exert himself. Coffee or tea Is the best stimulant. Aromatlo spirits of am monia Is good too.- In no circum stances should whiskey be given. The antlvenln is effective against not only the rattlesnake venom but also against that of copperhead or moc casin. i Dog bite, In my opinion, 'should be treated as any other -round. X do not believe cauterization la nec essary In any case. I doubt that rabies eer ocotirs In man. However, if you believe In or fear rabies, thla Is the safe and sane, course: Have the dog confined for two weeks un der veterinary observation. If veter inary detects no signs of rabies within two weeks, forget the inci dent. If veterinary is in doubt, or if the dog develops symptoms like those of rabies, then by all means have the Pasteur treatment, which any doctor anywhere can administer to the patient at home.

Fifteen," we J read in the headlines,, and are greatly shocked. "Air travel,' we say to ourselves, "Is certainly dangerous." One of these air crashes occurs In the state of New York, another in the tropical Island of Trinidad, famed as the location of the lake of asphalt, and the third occurs in Argentina. R EADINO further Into the paper. under a email headline, this dispatch from Madrid, In Spain: "The Austrian Express today atruck an auto bus near Fola de Oordon, killing 18 persons and Injuring alx critically and four slightly." That la to say, ONE railroad acci dent clalma more Uvea than the three airplane accidents, but the three air plane accidents get the big headlines. The reason Is that the airplane la new and spectacular, and the train la old and familiar. It la the new and spectacular that Impresses us. SPEAKING of trains, you read a while back of the record-breaking run of the new Burlington atream lined train from Denver to Chicago, and were properly Impressed, in all probability, by the speed attained. The thing that was really impres sive about the run, however, la the fact, which haa been reported alnce that time In the papers, that the run waa made on $16 worth of fuel. That means that these new light weight, fuel-oll-drlven, streamlined trains are going to be able to bring down the cost of travel, and bring ing down the -coat means that more people will be given the OPPORTUN ITY to travel.
