GRAND RAPIDS TEAM OUTCLASSED

HOPE TAKES LONG END OF SCORE IN AN UN INTEREST-

ING GAME WITH CALVIN QUINTET.

HOPE COLLEGE, Holland, Michigan, Feb. 21, 1923

ULFILAS.

Orange and Blue Tossers Over-con-fident as game begins.

Hope Displays Fine Floor Work.

In one of the most uninteresting and pepless games of the season Hope scalped the Calvin warriors in a most merciless fashion. It was a game without a thrill, with Hope in the lead practically throughout the contest. The g<ame was a marked one as fa r as the number of substi-tutions is concerned. It seems that coach Schouten was making a f ran-tic attempt to enter all the first squad men at some time or another.

The game started rather slowly and for a few moments not a basket to break the monotony. De Vries started the scoring for Calvin with a close up shot. Ottipody not to be outdone soon followed with a long shot f rom the right side of the floor. Then Joldersma caged one from cen-ter and a f t e r much clever passing Irving scored from under the basket and Riemersma rang one up from near the foul line. Then some big foot manages to connect with chief's

natomy and he chooses to quit the struggle. Van Lente, smashing all past records, caged a few from close in and Calvin decides it is time to

| hold a consultation of war. Af ter this the game proceeded again in much the same listless manner as before; now and then Calvin would make a basket as evidence of the fact that they were still on the floor. Aside f rom these infrequent inter-ruptions, Hope managed to idle away the time with passing practice and enough basket shooting thrown in to keep the audience from stam-peding. The half ended with Hope leading to the score of 17 to 5.

The second half started out just a bit more lively and the Orange and Blue players put in some splendid signal practice, usually failing to score, however. Ottipoby succeeded in dribling around the Calvin five but failed to locate the basket and soon took vengeance by lowering considerably the center of gravity of one of Calvin's staunch supporters.

Calvin is set on a comeback and starts the scoring for the half. Then the Orange and Blue threw off the fit of over-confidence, became furio-us, and tore through the Calvin de-fense time and again, missing shots about as often as making them. Hope's defense stood up as a stone wall before the feeble onslaughts of the Furniture-makers, and from then on all possibilities of a come-back by Calvin were cut off.

The clever floor work of I rvin? and Ottipoby, the consistent shoot-ing of Irving, the persistent shoot-ing of Van Lente, the steady guard-ing <an.i line plunging by Riemersma and Joldersma, together with the slowness of the game, featured the battle.

De Vries and Geuikink led in the scoring for the teosers. Now and again they would put forth a manly effort to turn the tables in their fa- • vor, but seemed to be opposed by obstacles unsurmountable.

The lQck*of interest on the part of the audience, and the carelessness and air of indifference on the part of the players all combined to make

' this the season's most stale game.

The study of the Dutch language is still recognized to be of para-mount importance at Hope College. Our constituency demands young people who are able to use fluently the language of their fathers. For this reason the Ulfiilas Society was organized in 1887 and exists today, having completed 36 years of ser-vice in assisting in the preparation of such present day leaders as Dr. S. M. Zwemer, Dr. A. Oltmans, Rev. A. Pieters, Rev. T. W. Muilenberg and many others. Weekly meetings are held at which the members ren-der gems from the rich Dutch litera-ture, essays from eminent Dutch writers, and original selections. A fair and friendly spirit of criticism on these numbers is always encour-aged. It has long been customary to render a public program each year during commencement week, but this year a mid-winter program also has been enjoyed by the general public. The officers for the year were as follows:

First Semester. President—John Minnema. Vice Pres.—George Kots. Sec.-Treas.—Anton Schermer.

Second Semester. President—Raymond Lubbers. Vice Pres.—Richard Van Farowe. Sec.-Treas.—Raymond Van Zoeren.

INTERCLASS GAMES.

Sophomores defeat Seniors

In an evenly matched contest, Wis-dom trampled upon Dignity. The Sophomores thought it wise, and the Seniors considered it worthwhile to play cautiously and guard closely. On this account, few court shots were possible. The rivalry of the teams and the rooting of the wise and worthy classmates on the side-boards added interest to the brawl.

Juniors lose to Freshmen With teamwork, the verdant

"frosh" took the game from the no-ble Juniors. The Freshmen, with short passes, worked into the Jun-ior's defense and accurately tossed the 'loop around the ball'. The No-bility tried in vain to perform simi-lar feats, and finally agreed—'that it was better to have fought and lost, then never to have fought at all!' but a team is never beaten until they give up. In unison they cry: "Come on, who's nex t?"

o When the final gong sounded, Hope held the lion end of the score of 32 to 15.

CHANGE IN BASKET BALL SCHEDULE

The Basket Ball management wish-es to announce a change in the schedule as pointed on the cards hand-ed out. It has been necessary to change the date of the Kazoo Normal game, to be played at Kazoo, from the 2nd of March to the 9th. This leaves an open date here March 2nd. The manager has secured the Michi-gan City Y quintet to play here on that date. This team was played earlier in the season at Michigan City and Hope was defeated 34 to 28. The team is overjoyed at getting this op-portunity to avenge this defeat. Re-member this is the last home game on the schedule and it promises to be of the best. Hope's quintet has improv-ed greatly since its Indiana tr ip and will undoubtedly defeat the Hoosiers on their Northern invasion.

LET YOUR MOTTO BE: God make me a man;

Who knows that if he wills, he can. Help me to see in every face

Blot out f rom me all shame and greed;

Help me to guard my troubled soul By constant, active self-control.

Clean up my thought, my speech, my play

And keep me brave from day to day; O Make me a man.—^Exchange.

BALANCED RATIONS.

One of the weekly newspapers of our country, The Literary Review, conceived the idea of preecribing for busy people the amount and char-acter of the reading which they can't find the time to look up for themselves. We think that it is a fine idea, and judging by the con-ditions on our own campus, we be-lieve it Kould be a good plan to try out in our weekly paper. We all talk about how very busy we are and that we never have time to read. Perhaps if special books were called to our notice, it might serve to attract our attention long enough from our busy-ness to read one or two at least.

So the Anchor is going to have a book shelf of its own every week balanced rations, too. Upon our shelf we will place one book of poetry, a book of essays which are particularly inspiring, and * good novel, not necessarily a new one, but a novel that is well worth read-ing. Then if you have any spare time, just look at our Book Shelf as the quickest way to get a good book. If you have enjoyed a book, suggest it for the Shelf and we will be glad to put it on. Here is the beginning of our venture:

1. Kiplingfa Verse—Cbmplete , Collection.

2. What Can Literature Do for Me?—Smith.

3. The Age of Innocence.— Edith Wharton.

RESULTS OP T R I A N G U L A R DEBATE.

Eastern Triangle; 4

1. Albion at Ypsilanti, won by Yp-silanti on the affirmative side of the question.

2. Olivet a t Albion, won by Albion on the affirmative.

3. Yysilanti at Olivet, won by Yp-silanti on the negative.

Western Triangle:

1. Kalamazoo at Alma, won by Ka-lamazoo, on the negative.

2. Hope at Kalamazoo, won by Ka-lamazoo on the affirmative.

Alma at Hope, won by ?? Kailamazoo with two out of three

points in her favor wins the Western triangle debate, and leaves Hope with just a shadow of a chance for winning over Alma. We're not so sure we can take Alma seeing they have a decided advantage, having had one debate on their own plat-form, while our men had not such an opportunity. But, with the de-feat at Kazoo there's nothing lef t for us to do but take second place. Sure-ly we ought not to allow our debat-ers to come down any fur ther . "Beat Alma" would be the words of Coue, and the philosophy of Coue Lets try it. To say we're getting worse, "worse and worse", is act-ually getting worse and worse.

0 A CLASS PARTY.

The A Class enjoyed a delightful evening of fun and games a t the home of Cornelia Nettinga last Fri-day evening. Pep and laughter pre-vailed and a f te r delicious refresh-ments and the good old Hope songs, we departed "until the next time." Say, fellas, wasn't that homemade

fudge good ?

KAZOO DEBATERS PROVEWINNERS

HOPE LOSES A HARD-FOUGHT CONTEST.

Friday evening, Feb. 16, Hope's negative debating team travelled to Kalamazoo College to debate on the question, "Resolved, that the U. S. immediately enter the League of Nations." Those who represented Hope were Julius Van Eennaam, Irvin Borgman and Jack Prins. Ka-lamazoo College was represented by Kenreih Sausamen, Willis Dunbai and Harold Beatle.

The debate was a hot contest from beginning to end. Sausamen opened the constructive argument for Ka-zoo while Van Eennaam opened for Hope. The constructive arguments on both sides clashed constantly. Considerable spirit was shown in the rebuttal, in which all the debat-ers entered with a spirit that was determined to win.

Due to storms and other condi-tions Kazoo was unable to obtain any of the judges whom Hope had marked as their preference. Prin. W. E. Merritt of Detroit and Judge Thomas J . Cavanaugh from Paw Paw were the only two judges on the lists whom Kazoo was^ able to se-cure. As a last resort they obtained the services of a certain Mr. Morri-son, a Salvation Army leader, as the thipd judge. There seems to have been some misunderstanding as to the system of judging due to the fact tha t Kazoo did not get the sug-gestions from Mr. McKay, the head of the League, which Hope received.

It is said that-Hope's team lost at Kazoo last year because they failed to compete with the delivery of the Kalamazoo team. This year our men were perfectly drilled in that respect and then we were marked down because of i t Though Hope lost the debate by a three to naught decision, we are proud of the fact that the judges and many of the au-ditors said that the negative team used the best English, the most polished speech and the best stage etiquette. Much praise was given to Prof. Nykerk, whose influence up-on the Hope students was manifest. The team worked hard and should be given the credit tha t is due them. The contest was very close as the marks of the more efficient judges will prove. Hope's team fought hon-orably and well.

A large crowd attended the debate at Kazoo College, which gives evi-dence that the students of Kazoo College are backing up their teams. Those who heard the debate fel t well repaid. The CoUege Glee Club and Orchestra entertained the audience before and a f t e r the debate.

This was Hope's first debate of the season and though it was lost, we need not. despair. Our men, as the wife of a certain Kazoo instruc-tor said, "quit themselves like men and did nobly." Let's get out and back up our affirmative team against Alma when they debate here. The slight interest shown by the student body in debates of the past is dis-heartening to a team. Fellow-Hope-ites, let's give our debaters the same support we give our athletic teams. They deserve it.

YOUR PART

Every year since 1916 the Junior class has edited our Hope College An-nual the "Milestone". This year 's Junior class is no exception and they are working very hard on the 1923 Milestone—your book. Students, do you realize the import-

ance and value of this student publica-t ion? In the first place it is a perman-ent history of your stay here a t Hope.

^ I n fu ture years it will help you recall the many good and profitable times you had here. Then, too, the College Annual is one of the best advertise-ments in the line of printed mat te r tha t any school can have.

Altho the Junior class has charge of the publication the value of the book and the interesting fea tures in it will be largely dependent upon the members of the entire student body. The Juniors are more than willing to receive your suggestions as to what you would like to see in this year 's book.

The staff has made repeated calls fo r individual pictures but they are slow in coming in. Are you one of the negligent ones? If so, see t ha t your picture is turned in today. The pages of snaps are interesting to all and they can be made interesting only as you hand in some of the best snap shots you have. You also can contri-bute jokes to the joke department . Amusing incidents happen in your class. Make note of them and turn them over to the joke editor.

In a short t ime the subscription campaign will be made. Here again you must do your part . Subscribe for the Milestone. The staff feels sure tha t every true Hopeite will want a book so when opportunity is given to subscribe, do so willingly and do not cause the subscription manager an unnecessary amount of work by making him chase a f t e r you.

Students will you remember these th ings? The Junior class and the Milestone staff are doing their par t . How about you? Are you doing your p a r t ? Remember that your contri-bution by way of picture, snap, or joke will make the annual more inter-esting and tha t your subscription will make possible its publication.

PUBLIC 03PINION.

Society expects many things f rom us as college students. One of these things especially looked fo r in any college student, is culture.

As we mingle together with our fellow students , we should t r y to remember, tha t there are certain

critics watching us. Of course our actions cannot be perfect , we are only human and are subject to er-rors, nevertheless the fac t remains, t ha t we are being watched by the

people round about us. There are certain occasions a t

which we should be especially care-ful of our actions and the ways in which we express ourselves. One of these t imes is a t our basket-ball games. Do we, as Hopeites, al-ways show the spirit of Hope at such gather ings ? Did we show very much culture a few weeks ago when we didn't have our regular ref -eree? Although things did not seem to be conducted in the best way pos-sible, nevertheless would you want people to call t ha t the spirit of Hope, to yell and hoot at a referee when you think tha t he makes a wrong decision? We all know tha t i t is of no avail but still j t happened. Did you realize tha t there were a number of people "watching you

tha t evening? Every Hopeite is proud of her

basket-ball team and rightly so. If you have been a close observer, you will have noticed that the men do their very best fo r their school. We give the boys our support as long as we g e t the long eiv* of the score. But as college students who should be cultured we ought to give the team our support even though we do not come out victorious.

BEG YOUR PARDON

The pr inter in inserting the head-line fo r the basket ball game in the last issue of "The Anchor" in error put in the words "Western State Normal" instead of "Central State Normal." The cancellation of the Hope—Alma debate became known af-ter the "Anchor" went to press so tha t article was not correct in every detail. The staff wishes to call to

your at tention these corrections.

WHAT T H E PREPS SAY

The Hope College Prepara tory School, the bulletins announce is a secondary school and. Dr. Dimnent will tell you, is one of the best. Every one agrees tha t the educa-tional advantages of such a school surpass those of the high school in tha t professors of experience, col-lege professors, are in charge of some of the more important studies.

Ea t Prep 's advantages to the college are not fel t , and, many peo-ple think, do not exist. Perhaps it is t rue tha t Prep -plays only a small par t in the life of the college but this small part , and sometimes it is an important one, is not appreciated by the college students in general. If Prep students do not subscribe to the college paper, if they do not buy athletic tickets they are dis-missed with a shrug since, " they ' re only Preps". But wheve is the in-terest shown in any activities of the Prep School? -Even wiien Prep was more loyal to these things, no fa i th was expressed in their ability, no interest shown by any except per-haps a minority of college students, those who are former prepites. In almost any activity of college life where Preps are allowed, there is a good percentage. I t was a sad sur-prise to us Preps a t a recent basket-ball game to note tha t the major i ty of college sudents rooted fo r the Prep's opponents. Perhaps some of this was in fun , but it is par t ly the stand behind the team tha t brings them to victory. I t seems as tho students are ra ther ashamed of hav-ing the Prep school here, s tudents whom Prep looks up to as big broth-ers. I t t ruly seems tha t were it not for joint chapel occasionally, an out-sider would not realize tha t there is such a school upon the campus. This is not intended as a t irade upon the college students, but ra ther as a lit-tle reminder and an expression of the feelings of your little brothers and sisters " the Preps". We are s t ruggl ing upward evidenced by the fact tha t we now have a debating team and soon will have more of such activities. I t is f rom such activities tha t some of the most use-ful and active college students are produced. Ask any fo rmer Prepite how he feels toward Prep; adopt a li t t le of his a t t i tude and Prep will be satisfied. Don't let this upward s t ruggle be alone when a few words of encouragement and a little active interest will help so much.

o Secret Service—Feb. 21.

Jus t about this time the Freshman discovers he will have to either change some of his habits, if he wants to get thru his first year on the college bulletin's figures of $285, or write home tha t he has been

robbed. Some young men around hero

haven't learned the value of saying it with flowery language. , (This wa*? inspired upon the occasion of over-hearing a Freshman asking a Junior for a "da te" ) .

— o — Sometimes we wonder, as we ob-

serve our Faculty, if it is not the heaping of coals of fire upon the head, which has made some of them bald.

When we hear such a lingo as this upon the campus, " for crying out loud tha t ' s the berries" we feel tha t our Astronomical Observatory should be used fo r some other purpose than as a mere decorative edifice, of course put t ing iron bars in the win-dows.

o Y. W. C. A.

Five o'clock Thursday, and the Y. W. girls gathered to hear a very in-terest ing ta lk by Mrs. H. De Pree. Mrs. De Pree has been a Mission-ary to China for seven years, the first four years at Amoy and the last three a t Lepg^Na. Many of us were proud to learn tha t seventeen out of fo r ty Amoy Missionaries are Hope graduates.

Leng-Na is a comparativley new place, having been taken over f rom the London Mission only a few years ago. Practically the only way in which they could reach the people here was by living their religion and showing in this way tha t the missionaries had something better, tha t Christianity gives something the heathen religion cannot give. She impressed upon us tha t , wheth-er we are going to the foreign field or not, we m u s t . live our religion every day, and tha t it is indeed necessary to "Let your l ight shine wheresoe'er you go for someone is looking to you."

o Y. M. C. A.

An inspiring meeting of the Y. M. C. A. was held last Tuesday night. In spite of the stormy weather a goodly number of men came out to hear Si Heemstra speak on "The Testimony of our Great Men."

He put forth the question, "Wha t is it tha t makes a grea t man t ru ly g r e a t ? " He stated tha t wha t is t rue of one great man is probably t rue of another, and therefore used Lin-coln as a fitting example. He gave some fac ts of Lincoln's life and character. Lincoln was never cha-grined when difficulties and disap-pointments assailed him. He dared to think and was not a f ra id to speak. The grea t men of the world are those who appreciate what is next to them. Our greatness consists in doing the best things we can with the talents we have. A man's fa i th in God is the fundamental ; we must back up our religion. And remem-ber, as a man thinketh is his own heart , so is he.

Before the meeting opened the Fieldhouse Brothers rendered a very beautiful violin duet. Fellows who do not come to Y, do you realize the opportunity you are missing. Let 's all go next time!

HOME VOLUNTEERS

The Christian world is today wit-nessing a great battle. The fo rmer claim tha t the Fundamental is ts base too much on a "special theory of in-spirat ion," to quote Dr. Fosdick's own words. He fu r the r criticises them saying: "They insist tha t the original documents, etc., were inerrant ly dict-ated to men a good deal as a man might dictate to a s tenographer ." The Fundamental is ts reply t ha t they up-hold the "Fa i th of Our Fa thers , living still, in spite of dungeon, fire and sword."

Ray Van Zoeren led the meeting, outlining in interesting fashion the grea t sermon of Dr. Fosdick, entitled "Shall the Fundamental is ts W i n ? " He also took up the criticism directed against this seimon. Surely it was a worthwhile meeting. Fellows, if you are looking forward to Christian life work, you can't afford to miss these meetings. Get in touch with some of the big problems that a re confront ing the Church today.

t ha t Hope will be well represented not only for the showing we may make but also f o r the support which our presence will s ignify. Let us all t r y to s^e our way clear to accom-

pany the orators . . A word as to the meri ts of our two representat ives will well assure us t ha t Hope enters the contest with as good a piospect a s any other year . • "Nel l" ha s proven her ability in this type of work by the splendid oration which she created and deliv-ered las t year before the student body of Hope. In High School Miss Kole attained signal honors in De-clamation and oratory. Miss Kole comes f rom Fremont , Michigan.

With this pleasing a r r ay of fac t s and the br ight prospect before us Hope places her t rus t in her two representatives, knowing tha t they will do their u tmost to uphold the

tradit ions of Hope. P l a n to go to Hillsdale with the

"More Truth than Poetry" In Holland, a freshman from "Hope," Gave all of his class some new dope.

•'If at Penney's you'll trade Your fortune is made

For there you can never go broke."

A Soph in this school, who was clever, Made it ever her ernest endeavor

To save money each day And to put it away

To buy shoes she knew were all leather .

Your professar who trades a t our store. Will tell you he always saves more;

And the goods that he buys. Are the best, in his eyes

That he's seen since he crawled on the floor

Now the reason for this, as you know, Is the fact that whereever you go,

Our stores you will find. And they bring to your mind,

That they're BETTER or they never would grow.

He Reached the Top

T HE Vice-President of a great life insurance company who began his career as an agent has this to say to seniors who are about to graduate from college;

"If you love work and desire to pursue an honorable, useful and lucrative mission in lire this is the business for you to take up. Life insurance salesmanship offers a fine field for the energies of the splendid young men in our colleges.

"That this is true is demonstrated by those college men who have taken up life insurance for they have shown that the college man is fit for this kind of a job and that the job also is fit for the college man.

"The work of the life insurance salesman is distinguished by independence and opportunity for directing his own. It gives all possible opportunity for individual initiative and a chance to make an ample income at an age when most fellows are struggling on a wage pittance."

That is the story of one who began at the bottom and reached the top without the help of a college educa-tion. The advantages are with you who graduate from college. Before deciding your career make in-quiries of the "Agency Department."

CAMPUS CAPERS.

The campus is by nature a hot bed of riotous humor—just gaze around—we giggle with you!

Valentine's Day came whirling, in with the snow storm bringing fa i r maidens sweet tokens, and bashful gallants pleading and hopeful looks.

Some/ people have all the the hard luck! For instance that one promising freshman who bought a marvelous box of candy for his Val-entine, and found it the next morn-ing all chewed to pieces by the mice.

Grace says she received a most ignominious valentine. But take a heart "all's fair—" you know.

Amy—The mice would naturally be fond of him.

O.—Wha d'ye mean? Amy—He's such a cheese!

The campus isn't such a cheerful place when so many are absent be-cause of illness. But everything looks encouraging now with so many bright and smiling faces once more in our midst.

Mrs. Fenton is recovering from tonsilitis.

One clever Soph told us the other day that , "To he a college bred, means a four year loaf requiring a great deal of dough as well as plen-ty of crust."

"Oh, dear!" sighed Pris in des-pair. .

"Thank you!" said Prof. Wichers —and blushed.

Bill:—I know a hair raising story. Jack:—Tell it to Banty.

" 'Oh, well', sighed the old oaken bucket."

Joke Editor:—"Why is it that you always sit on my jokes?"

Editor-in-Chief:—"I wouldn't if they had any point to them."

o Poor Frosh.

Freshmen co-eds at Temple Uni-versity, Philadelphia have a hard lot; at the dormitories 'they are re-quired at all meals to wear bibs bearing their names. They must wear lisle hose on Monday's, Wed-nesday's and Fridays and go to church every Sunday. On Tuesdays and Thursdays they may neither paint, powder nor curl their hair.

EXTENSION COURSES BT RADIO ^ Q

47 Colleges Now Bfoadcasting—Ex-tension Courses by Univenitie*

Planned for Near Future.

With an audience of millions, the bulk of them of college age, the Na-tional Chamber of Commerce is now laying plans fo r the establishment of radio extension courses in American colleges and universities. Certainly with the rapid growth of wireless, it has been said, that education may rea-sonably look to radio as a very power-. fu<l ally and eid.

"The importance of radio broadcast-ing as a means of reaching a large number of listeners in the United State8i,otherwise inaccessible,is being forced home to us every Jay. There are in this country between a million and a million and a half radio receiv-ers, representing between three and four million listeners located within comfortable range of the speaker's voice of one of the 600 broadcasting stations, that is, stations equipped to send out telephone communications. These listeners are for the most par t youthful—of high school and college age. Their number is rapidly increas-ing and will, undoubtedly, within a very few years total many millions.

47 Colleges Broadcasting. "Over sixty educational institutions

broadcast educational and musical programs, 47 of them being colleges and universities. The combined area nominally covered by these institu-tions has been estimated to be seven or eight times the total area of the United States. The National Radio Chamber of Commerce, which has set out to end "confusion in the radio in-dustry by bringing into harmony all of its instrumentalities, is devising a scheme of practical assistance to educational institutions. • "Extension lectures may be broad-cast from the college or university without in any way interfering with the local audience within the school. It is not now necessary that the school have its own broadcasting sta-tion. A powerful central station near-by connected there with a microphone in the lecture room may be used. In some cases the lectures are being fol-lowed up by questionnaires and sug-gested reading, which are mailed to the listeners upon request, and by ex-amination sheets following at the end of the course."

A most delightful afternoon was spent a t the beautiful Diekema home on Twelfth Street. Mrs. Diekema, a perfect hostess, opened her home to us and a f t e r making us comfortable, the afternoon was spent in music and pleasant conversation. A de-licious two-course luncheon was served, Mrs. Browning and Mrs. Mc Lean assisting as hostesses.

It was a very enjoyable afternoon for every one, and the cheer and warmth of good feeling made us for-get the rather disagreeable weather without.

PSYCHOLOGICAL TEST made by

Prof. !van Awful Line. First Question:—What would yon

do if you found yourself in an air-tight room containing a mad dog, a rattlesnake, and a pair of sleigh-bells?

Answer:—Without exception, y o j would grasp the rattlesnake by the hind leg and rattle him thus carry-ing the dog. Now you have the dog rattled. Now toll the bells for sev-enty seven seconds, and at once de-termine what the bells told. Then at the psychological moment, sleigh the dog with the bells.

Second Question.—Suppose you had nothing to eat for two years. Suddenly you com^ ,upon a grocery store and outside the store is a

" stand containing large juicy red »ap-ples. You steal one and looking up you see a policeman. What would you do?

Answer:—Run into the store, jump on the scale, and get a weigh.
