The most successful men and women are those who know how to get along with their fellow men, who know how to obtain and keep good will. In fact, one of the biggest problems in business is this same human problem, making people like you and each other. It has been said that nothing: orls toe wheels of human relationship so nicely as humor. Abr: ham Lincoln knew this, and we find that many of his nor. so serious anec- dotes cleared up rather critical situations. Humor may be said to he the universal passport to popularity.

We are getting disappointed in the class of ’35. Not a single barnyard poet among the bunch. Last year we had a poem for the head of the column almost every week. But this year it is different; we have not seen- a bit of ’35 poetry as yet. Contributions aplenty come in, but no poetry. need barnyard poetry. The campus abounds in sub- ject-matter. For instance we composed a peacherino about the mustachio clipping but didn’t have room to print it. - Let’s have some barnyard poetryl! Start it off like this: “ ’Twas the night before Christmas And all thru the house, Not a creature was stirring, Not even the house."

More About Hats Our suggestion in last week’s editorial that the fresh- men at Armour adopt the time-honored custom of wear— ing some particular kind of hat as a distinguishing mark was greeted with considerable approval. Quite‘a few were unreservedly in favor of the idea and many more indicated that they would suopm-t the enterprise once it was under way. Several n-en, prominent in school afl'airs, offered as their opinion that, since the News is in the best position to spread any new idea, we should endeavor to coordinate, through the editorial column, the various forces necessary to a successful establishing of the proposed custom. Acting in accordance with the suggestion given by these men, we have investigated the situation and are now in a position to make the following recommendations. First; that a paper stating the proposal and its object be circulated among the three upper classes so that any man who is actively in favor of establishing the custom may so signify by signing his name. In that way, an accurate determination of the enthusiasm and support for the measure may be made. If a sufficient number of upper-elassmen show interest in the suggestion, the succeeding recommendations may he used as a guide for further actions. Second; that the type of hat to be adopted be neither the old-fashioned skull-cap, nor the more recently popu- lar Eugenie. The headgear we would suggest is the “overseas” hat of the U. S. army. Such a hat, dyed black and adorned with a brilliant yellow feather, would be both serviceable and distinctive. “Overseas" hats may he obtained at any army store for a moderate price, are sufficiently warm to be satisfactory even in cold weather, may be carried in a. brief case when not being worn, and are made to stand rough treatment. In short, they are ideally adapted to our needs. The feather may be obtained at most novelty stores for a trifling sum and should be not less than about eight inches long. If it were sewed at two or three places alongr the side of the hat it would not be likely to be- come broken or lost. Third, that a deadline both of time and place be de— termined. A date could be set, after which the new hats would be the only type of freshman headgear allowed on the campus. The boundaries could be defined within which the wearing of the hats would be compulsory. We do not think it either fair or practical that hate be worn by students while they are commuting. We do not claim that the above recommendations are final and unalterable. Anyone having a suggestion as to the method of procedure to be adopted is invited to ad- dress it to the Armour Tech News and niece it in the box in the school store. Any such communications must be signed by the sender if they are to be published in the Nuns. M..a............. We "My throat is all important to me. H ..r No harsh irritants for yours truly.
