Or if you had a ‘finely lettered map of Austria, you might find it near one of those "pockets" not â€" yet "mopped up" by our conquering . You won‘t know what I‘m talkâ€" ing about if you didn‘t grow _ But every beer drinking Wisconâ€" sinite knows Lauterbachâ€" as the age to lose your stochng but natâ€" I don‘t know just how you manâ€" age to lose your stocqing, but natâ€" urally,. without â€" it, you can‘t go home. â€" So you have to go back to Lauterbach, ostensibly to recovâ€" er the stocking, but actually for another round of beer. _ And apâ€" propriately the tune goes â€"from there into a gay yodel, proving that if you didn‘t find what you lost, you at least found something to moisten the gonsils. ° f _ "In Lauterbachâ€"hab‘ ich mein Strumpf* verloren." . Grandpa Munchausen Tells A Tall One Barbara was sitting on Grandâ€" pa‘s knee, reading the funnies, when suddenly Grandpa sneezed. It was no insipid, ladyâ€"like sneeze, but a real grandpaâ€"sized "Kerâ€" choo!" and it startled Barbara so that she toppled right off his knee. And was she embarrassed! . Just what is the delay in mopâ€" ping up Lauterbach, I can‘t exâ€" plain. $s mt se Ssd "Think nothing of it, Barbara," said Grandpa. "I know all about my sneezes. Listen, and I‘ll tell you what one of my sneezes did to Butch once â€" and Butch‘s a "You see, Butch was sitting on my lap, just like you, one day, when I felt a sneeze coming on. And all at once it took me. Well, you shoulda seen Butch! He was so startled that he jumped® right out of his pants!‘ And mind you, that ain‘t all. 1 looked around for him and what do you suppose I saw? â€" There was Butch scooting one way and his pants the other! It sure gave me a shock. "Well, I couldn‘t sit there and see Butch running around thatâ€"aâ€" way, for it was mighty cold weathâ€" er. Of course ‘as long ‘s Butch kept going, it would be all right, but soon ‘s he stopped he was goin‘ t‘ get awful chilly. â€" : There wuz just one thing to do. I hitched up my galluses and lit out after them pants. â€" No use ketching Butch first, and giving the pants a head start, so to speak. Good thing they was shortâ€"legged, and couldn‘t go very fast. It didn‘t take me long to corral them, and I grabbed ‘em and looked around for Butch. He was still running, but he wuz slowing down =â€"=an‘ no pants! So I hitched up my galluses agin and this time L lit out after Butch. He wuz gittin‘ purty tired, so it wuzn‘t hard to catch him, and I grabbed him and clapped his pants onto him, and everything wuz all right. Butch didn‘t even catch the sniffies." Barbara, for a time, was too imâ€" pressed for speech. Finally she said: "Know what, Grandpa*" "No, what?" "I‘m sure awfol glad I‘m a litâ€" MISS ANN ARENBERG HOME FOR THE SUMMER Miss Ann Arenberg, a sophoâ€" more at Wellesley college, is home for the summer vacation with her No Relation to Augustin SHALLOWS * . 437 8.

A wedding breakfast at the Kisses Reap Harvest with she is emâ€" Idiosyncrasies of Should you have recently seen a young Merchant Mariner about lobe of his left ear, think nothing of it . This is, according to M/M Roy Gamache, 17, son of Mrs. Marie Gamache, 12 Ravine, merély an old Casablancan custom. A}â€" though the young veteran of Euâ€" ropean service professes to treat the matter lightly, he admits that when a girl of that area presents a man with one of her earâ€"rings to wear in his left ear, it means that she thinks well of him. . And when he appears with it in the right ear â€" brother, that means business. y Another young Mariner, Bert Callan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Callan Sr., 1731 Deerfield, is sporting a surprising amount of whisker for a 17â€"yearâ€"old, and means to retain it until he reâ€" ports to his ship â€" or so the story A natty hirsute job also adorns the countenance .of Mr. Sewell Truax, 330 Egandale, who is emâ€" ployed in a Chicago defénse plant. And thereby, also, hangs a tale. Shortly after the ~traigedy of Pearl Harbor, Mr. Truax stood in a line of eager volunteers for the U. S. Navy. To their.intense cha~ grin, both he and the man ahead were rejected. Straightway they made a pact that neitherâ€"both, in their haste that morning had negâ€" lected the razorâ€"would remove his mustache until (1) he was acâ€" cepted for service, or (2) the war was over. The man ahead subseâ€" quently made the grade, and beâ€" came a war casualty when his carâ€" rier, the Hornet, was sunk.

Loaned by the Dushkin School of Music in Winnetka, this small exhibit contains several varâ€" iations of the recorderâ€"the foreâ€" runner of our present day transâ€" verse flute. _ , The recorder was of English orâ€" igin, but its popularity from the 16th through the 19th century ex« tended throughout the continent of Europe. There are frequent references to the instrument in the English literature of the time, in Shakespeare, Milton and Pepys as well as several others. > Because of the range in size and consequently in tone and pitch, the recorder was used extensively not only as a solo instrument but in sets of three, four or five. * Along with the instruments, there are some fine examples of musi¢c of the time, written with reâ€" corder parts. With the exception of the flageolet which is displayâ€" ed, these recorders are modern reâ€" productions. 4 Local Girl Plays at Peace Conference.
