TORY
Nearly a Scandal
u, JANE osnmuv
UBER'I‘ THROOI’, M.A.. was
H one of the latest acquisi-
tions to the faculty of
Lensborough College for Women.
His subject was comparative
philolosy. and to his own utter
disgust he was voted the hand~
somest member of the faculty.
and behind his back was known
by the two or three thousand stu-
dents at Lensborqugh as “Darling
Iiubert." And rebently at a boy-
denisb meeting ofthe newly as-
sembled Freshmen class the vote
had been rassed that if Darling
llubert ever did become engaged
to any girl not a. member of their
illustrious class they would all go
into mourning.
Of course Izluhe'rt did not know
of the foolish vow of the Fresh-
men, but he had seen to his horror
the result of the Freshman's bal-
loting, which had included every-
thing froth a favorite lace powder
to a favorite philosopher. He
would rather have been considered
almost. anything than the “hand-l
somest professori’ He had be-
come rather shy as a result—capes
cially shy of girls. He never at-
tended any college gatherings un-K
less he was positively obliged to:
do so.
Hubert. “Darling Hilbert." was
driving toward ills bungalow ,one'
evening. As had become his cus-,
torn, he drove his car into the lit-
tle garage. jumped quickly out.:_

Hubert went to bed rather late:
that nizzht. It was a cool eveningfi
and in spite. of the fact that be
spread his blankets over him he
was too chilly to sleep. Tile fur-
nishings of his supposedly flir-
nished bungalow left, something to

thought, himself of the steamer
rugs in the back of his touring

his pajamas. and taking an elec-
tric torch. he. went out to the ga-
rage. Funny thing. it. seemed to
him. that he had left. the light
burning, when he was pretty sure
that he had not even switched it
on when he was in there last.
Then as his hand was on the
padlock the light switched out
again. He hesitated a minute or
so. then turned the key. opened
the doors and went into the ga-
rage, lighting his path with his

little alarmed—«he was situated in
a lonely spot in the country. com-
panioncd only by a slant-eyed Cili-
naman concerning whom he knew
almost nothing, and he was armed
with nothing more potent than an
electric torch. But everything
seemed quiet and ill orderin the
garage, so he concluded to take
the steamer rugs and return to the
bungalow. He opened one of the
back doors of the car. and reached
in for the rug. He felt its sleek
woolly-surface. but. when he‘pulled
it did not yield. Then something
moved beneath his grasp. Then
there was a shrill little cry. and
from the folds of the rug rose the
form of a slender young girl.
“I didn't know what to do." she
said. and then she had something
that Hubert thought'must be hys-
terlcs. She robbed and- sobbod
and seemed unable totaik. Final-
ly he carried her light form into
his houseand. after he had seated
herin a comfortable chair‘ln his
living room and had given her
something to drink, she explained.
She thought she had better stay
the night now. as they would think
it was terrible for her to come
back to the dormitory at that hour.
in brief she was Rosamond Gray.
Sophomore president. and the
Sophomore banquet was set for
that evening—it was all over by
now. According to time-honored
custom. the Freshmen .had tried
to kldnepher and they had almost
succeeded. She was running
through the lane when six of them
in a car came after her and. not
knowing what to do. she had leap-
ed on the running board and then
climbed into the back of a car that.
was going slowly through the lane.
She had ducked down under the
steamer rugs and had not seen
more than the back of the head of
the one who drove. Later. in the
lgarago, she had got out of the car,
but had not been able to get the
germ: doors or windows open.
‘Shc “all almost suffocated.
“The awkward part of it is."
said Hubert. who found himself
stroking the tender white hand of
the girl whom he had recently car-
ried in his arms. "that there are
no women about. There's only
myself and my Chinamau."
“But I can't go back now—I
couldn‘t go alone and certainly I
couldn’t let. you take me. It would
he a dreadful scandal for me to
stay here~" 0
"Nearly a scandal. but not
quite." said Hubert glumly. "But
there's nothing else to do. There's
a guest room. I'll get dressed
right away and sit up the rest of
the night. Then in the morning
you can go back the way you came
and make some sort of excuse to
the house mother at the dormi-
tOl'y.”
Later the house mother of Rosa-
mond's dormitory told the dean of
women of the college that she had
never made too close inquiry into
the little episode. "Rosamond
never told me where she spent the
night. and it would have been
nearly a scandal if it hadn't end-
ed up as it did."
About that time Rosamond an-
nounced her intention of leaving
college that springmbefore her
junior year—and shortly after-
wards tho entire Freshman class
appeared on the campus wearing
crepe bands on their arms.

THE RADIO PRIMER
One Daily Fact for Litton."
Distortion in the broadcasting
station itself. instead of in your rc-
cciving set, is by no means an un-
common cause of getting a. program
that. seems pretty poor. In just
the some way in which the trens~
formers and coils and other ports
of your receiver may distort the
sounds that come in. so the of lar
instruments of a transmitting set
may produce a distortion of the
sound message. It is this distortad
sound message that is broadcast.
not the pure, undistorted sound that
was actually supplied to the micro-
phone. _
liliicrophon'es themselves are great
sinners in this respect. Many of
them will not pick up the low tones
successfully. Others fail'tn get the
high. shrill tones like the hiss of the
letter S. There are broadcasters in
the United States whose listeners
have neveryet hoards. hissed I over
their wave. r'l‘he absence of the
lower tones gives a tinny, nasal
quality to the music. like the tone
of abad phonograph. - . —
Even after the sound has peace
through the‘microphone successful-
ly. there 'are other chances of dis-
tortion‘occurrlng in the modulating
equipment and even in the‘clrculte
through which the modulated wave
is transmitted to the antenna. ready
to be radiated into space.
The better broadcasting stations
maintain a continual watch on the
purity of their tones. the perfection
of the modulation and the absence
of distortion. In time it ll probable
that all broadcasters will come to
do this. But until they do. don't
blame every bad program on your
receiver. It may be the broadcaster
who is at fault.

FFHAND. there would appear

the dance which was formerly pop-

—-end less still for any connection
with President Polk. As a. matter“
or fact, however. there is a very
distinct connection between all
three,
The dance called the “polka" was
imported from Hungary during the
middle of the last century during
the Polk administration, and the
similarity in names was nothing but
a coincidence. About the same
time. however, fashion decreed the
popularity of the little round white
dots for men's cravats, women's
dresses and other materials. Enter-
prising merchants saw a now of
capitalizing the fed by tleing it up
with the dance and with the name
of the Chief Executive, and the
name "polka-dot" was born. to live
long after the dance had passed into
history along with any active mem-
ory or resident l‘olk, who is one
