The proverbial "little bird" has whispered that you expect it to be humorous. But the chatter box is go- ing to be human today instead of humiorous and give you just the op- posite of what you have been expect- ing. - It's going to talk about mottoes to- day. Have you a pet proverb or fav- orite motto or verse by which you tem- per your conscience and regulate your judgment of the vital matters that come up in your life every day? The Detroit News prints daily above It's editorial column a motto indica-' tive of the paper's ideals. It's a good one. Read It. You'll have more respect for that paper after reading it. One of ther strongest banks in Win- nepeg has an interesting inscription below the ornamental iron panels of its doors. It reads "Thincke and Thancke." ,Don't you like that? It's quite the thing today for cities to have slogans by which they are known, for firms to have a pet adver- tising phrase, and for houses, even, td have a rine significant of the home life within them. Our personal lives should be labeled in the same way. The chatterer has a favorite phrase. It has never been told before, but it's this: "I shall find a way or make one." Yes, that savors of Kipling's saying and of Mrs. P&nkhurst's threats, but it has done a world of good on more than one occasion. Take a bit of advice from the chat- ter box; adopt a motto for yourself, and then live' up to it.

Preliminary tryouts for the Cen- tral Debating League must be over, in all of the debating societies, by October 31, according to the schedule planned by Prof. Ray K. Immel, who will direct the Varsity debate work -this year. The question debated by the Cen- tral League this year is: Resolved- "That the Federal Government should own and operate the Coal Mines of the United States." The debate will be held January 16. On November 1 the names of the six debaters chosen from each of the two societies of the literary department, and of those representing the Law school (not ex- ceeding eight in number), must be handed in to Professor Immel. Elim- inations will then be held to choose the men for the teams that will meet Chicago and Noithwestern. Many Debaters in School With much good debating material available, keen compettion seems as- sured. Of the Varsity debaters back in school, August, '21L, Brandt, '21L, Earl Dunn, '23L, Sanford, R. F. Mat- thews, '20L, and A. J. Levine are all elijible for at elast one of the League 'Debates. Several of these men, how- ever, do not intend to compete. I. A. Jennings, a Varsity debater from Leland Stanford, expects to partici- pate, and other experienced men have announced that they will be heard from. It has been found inadvisable to re-organize the two Law School De- bating societies-the Webster and the Jeffersonian. Their halls have been turned over for the use of other or- ganizations, and, under the new schedule, with Saturday classes, no evening suitable for meeting can be found. Valuable Prizes Given A prize of $50, membership in Delta Sigma Rho, national honorary public speaking fraternity, a gold medal, and the honor of representing Michigan, and to say nothing of invaluable training, awaits the successful compet- itor.

At a later date the question debated in the Mid- West League will be announced. Nebraska- Twelve Universit Nebraska men have applied to'be candidates for the Rhodes schola at Oxford university.
