After one gets a closer look at the fur of the cat it is found that besides being loaded with fleas and lice that the little pests have a bite to them which gives the cat quite a kick.

In the mewsings oi the cat there are a few more excuses lor its appearance on the campus, but nowhere does it tell about the quick money P. V. G. had to raise to pay the rent) for some cellar space. Although the little Wampus talks nothing but pig latin it sometimes gives some personal information through it’s actions.
INSIDE DATA

We-all-no-you-Al acts the part and fills in all the little open places with some of the jokes he insists on telling.
Yesterday morning Al refused to make a personal appearance because the child of his dreams had strayed away from the print shop; and Al wants to wait till the trouble blows over. Paul has played with the pigskin so much this winter that nothing short of an easy exam will faze him; therefore he showed up leading the Wampus and all the little Wampi on a pink ribbon around the walks.

Varsity basketball practice took on a coat of earnestness yesterday afternoon, and the scrimmage held with the frosh squad was fast and furious. Perhaps the balloon throwers got all the zip from the tact that Coach Henderson is expected today, but some of us guess it came from the announcement yesterday of a new adequate building for the “indoor football'’ game, with a real hardwood floor, seats for 2500 rooters, and everything, to be completed by February 1.
Grant Kuhns and Albert Butterfield started the forward positions, George Boeck at center, and Captain “Pee Wee” Graham and Gwynn Redwine at guards. Dutch Hindricks. last season’s captain, blew the whistle, a heavy cold keeping him out of his center position.
Practically all of the squad got a workout against the peagreeners, and Coach Hunter isn’t exactly afraid of showing the squad to “Gloomy Gus” if he arrives today.

--j Of late “The Personalist” has been
I attracting considerable attention abroad. A number of subscriptions
U.S.C. Women Prepare For Engineering Profession
and inquiries have been received from England.
The coming number will contain the usual current notes and book reviews.
What are the women in this old world coming to, anyway? The woman J of 1830 would probably have thrown i up her hands in shocked surprise to see Miss 1921’s shortened skirts and beau-1 t ified complexion. She would probably have fainted to see her modern grand- j daughter reporting for a newspaper or going to the polls to vote. But what do you suppose that dainty old-fashion- | ed lady would do if she saw the nine- i teenth century woman building bridges? (It’s a good thing that she died long ago. Isn’t it?)
Anyway, that’s just exactly what the women are coming to. or rather have already arrived at. Not the pick and shovel part of bridge building, of >course you understand, but the technical part, the planning, and bossing, the part that requires the brains. Why. right here at U. S. C. can be found two of these lady bridge builders to be. \bout the campus, however, they are known as civil engineers.
LIKE MATHEMATICS One of the girls who is studying to be an engineer is a freshman, the other a senior, and they’re both just as good as the men at it.. Mathematics? Yea. it's almost all mathematics, but Miss 1921 scoffs at ordinary figures and tackles a real problem with the greatest of enthusiasm. She figures it out, oo. and usually gets it right.
The hiking part of this vocation also eems to appeal to the fair engineer, in act, she is really better at that part of he work than her more experienced rother. Perhaps this is because wo-en are naturally not as lazy as men, d then again the curious part of her ture may be is responsible for this r she never knows what she might (Continued on Page 2)

Two valuable tennis rackets belonging to Dr. Flewelling were recently removed from a locker on the second floor of the Administration Building. If the rackets are returned immediately to the Personalist office, no questions will be asked.

PRESS CLOBMEETS AT UNION HAGUE
Complete from the babe in the manner to the sparkling cascade ih the corner, is the Nacimiento which is on display in the Spanish office, room 254. It depicts the nativity scene, with the Christ child in the manger, Mary and Joseph bending over him, the dumb beasts whose dwelling place the holy family are occupying, the shepherds and country folk from far and near, and the bright guiding star. Some fifty figures, fashioned of wax, form the little tabueau. They wrere made in Mexico City as a special order from the directions of Professor Ramos, who was a member of the Spanish faculty last year.
Of great interest is this unusual display to anyone who has any interest in the costumes of other lands. At Christmas time, in the Spanishspeaking countries, every family of means sets up its Nacimiento. Some are small and inexpensive; others, in the homes of the very rich, consist of life-sized figures, clad in costumes of silks, and occupy a special room, which is only opened at the time of “Los Dias de Navidad.” For the children especially, the Nacimiento is not the least of the enjoyable factors of Christmas good times.
PHOTOGRAPHS MADE
The particular Nacimiento in the office of the Spanish Department was erected and arranged with great care and labor. It extends across nearly the length of one side of the room. A canopy of blue forms the sky. Pine branches add to the out-of-doors atmosphere. Mr. Ward of the Photorium has photographed it and has the pictures on sale.
The supervisor of modern languages of Los Angeles has asked that the Nacimiento form a part of the Exhibit of Modern Language Realia which is to be held next week in the old Los Angeles High School.
A PRAYER
I pray the prayer the Easterners do;
May the Peace of Allah abide with you;
Wherever you stay, wherever you go,
May the beautiful palms of Allah grow.
Through the days of labor and nights of rest May the love of sweet Allah make you blest,
So I touch my heart as the East erners do,
May the peace of Allah abide with you.
Christmas vacation for Dr. R. B. von Klein Smid will be a comparatively quiet period in the life of a busy man.
The President is at present in Arizona, and after his return to Los Angeles he will spend his liesure moments during the first week attending the Institute of the Southern California Teachers’ Association. Since the hours of these sessions correspond, in general, with regular school hours, it sems that perhaps Dr. “Von” will have his spare moments occupied, at least.
After December 25th, he will go to the Asilomar Conference for a while. The exact length of his stay has not yet been deetrmined, but the trip itself, with only a short stay, will occupy quite a while.

POLICE HAND GRENADE PERFECTED BY CHEMIST
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. Evanston, 111., Dec. 12.—Dr. W. L Lewis, head of the /department of chemistry. Northwestern University, recently developed and patented a police hand grenade designed for use where fire-arms are not desirable by police forces in scattering street mobs driving criminals from barricaded houses, and otheryise controlling the criminal classes. After a thorough demonstration, it has been officially adopted by the city of Chicago, Evanston and the neighboring cities. Dr. Lewis has sold his rights as patentee to Mr. George Hughes, president of the Edison Electric Company, who will mark the bomb.
The bomb is a copper sphere, about the size of a baseball, and contains five chemicals sealed in glass vessels. The chemicals mix on impact and produce a dense irritating smoke and an intense lachrymatory, or tear gas. One of these bombs thrown in the Evanston council chamber cleared the second floor within five minutes and also marie it necessary for the council to adjourn to the sidewalk.
Though the chemicals which make up the gas in the bomb render a victim powerless through nausea and heavy coughing, no permanent ill effect remains.
