Hence, we shall through write a column in the rambling style which has become so popular with members of the editorial staff of the Michigan Daily. Learned Indian There happened to be only four white children in town, so his edu- cation was far from the traditional one. His playmates were all Indian boys, from whom he learned much of the ritual and tribal customs. He even picked up several Indian dia- lects, but he says he has long since forgotten most of them. When he was six he saved the lifei of an Indian playfellow who was drowning in a river. The grateful tribe gave little Joe a beautifully wrought tom-tom, and the chief in- ducted him into the tribe as a blood brother to the other boy. Trained On Drums So after that the best drummers in the tribe took it upon themselves to train young Sanders, teaching him all the tricks of their trade. He learned from each his specialty andI added them together, so by the time, he was 14, he "knew more ways ofI beating a tom-tom than any three Indian drummers put together." When he was nine his parents added piano lessons to his musical training, and at the age of 11 he self in the sports world. This all-around young man went into baseball and proceeded to es- tablish a world's record for strike- outs, 27 in nine innings, and then! took up billiards as a pastime long enough to become the three-cushion billiards champion of Kansas City.3 New Trinkets' A dollar trinket which has suc-! ceeded the change belt lipstick is the sailor hat brimful of nail beautifiers -polish, polish remover, and top coat all neatly packed under the{ most seaworthy of navy headgear.

All of this doesn't seem to be getting anywhere, and come to think of it, it isn't; however, what we're really trying to work in here someway is the subject of clich6s--a form of conversation which is particularly fascinating to us. There were plenty of them last night-enough to get people started talking about them, but not good enough to make you feel that now there is a cliche that can stand on its own feet. What we like are the good old ones like, "Well, New York is a marvelous place to visit, but I wouldn't. live there if you gave me the place," or "Well, I always say he's the kind of a professor that you either like or you just hate." Gems like those don't come up in ordinary conversation. They have to be watched for and treasured and cherished. Since it's sort of hard to watch forand treasure stuff like ordinary con- versation, and especially since a lot of times you're the one who gets caught in the trite bit, why not take up our favorite indoor sport-watching for well-worn phrases in the movies. It's harmless-a vegetable compound guaranteed not to be habit-forming, and besides, think of how the movies are your best entertainment. When we were at the cowboy stage--as though they still aren't our favorites-we used to have perennials that turned up in every other film and gave us that warm feeling around the heart or something. The best and the surest bet was, "There they go, boys, over the hill; I'll take the short cut and head 'em off." But up in the front lines, fighting for position, were the "Stranger, you better git a-movin' or this town is goin' to have more dead bodies than it can afford to bury," or "This town just ain't big enough for the two of us." Drawing room films are no slouches, though, in the fight for member- ship in the Cliche Club. A caddish lad tells the heroine that she must give up her husband or he will tell the poor fool of her past life. She looks up, tearful-underlip trembling; she says-you can say it with her if you're fast--"You're asking me to give up the ofily happiness I've ever known." You may then settle back in your seat. You were frightened for a moment that it wouldn't come out. The warm feeling starts around your heart, again. "I thought our marriage meant more to you than that!" "There's a wall between us, Bill, that nothing can break down." "It's no use, Jim; we just don't see things the same way." "Why didn't you tell me instead of letting me think-letting me hope-" Cliches all, and here's to more of 'em. We're plenty against all movements to eliminate them, by gad. They're the only things that save most of the movies. CrispBlouses With Tailored Suits Are Best For Warm Spring Days Special Fashion Value!
