SCIENTISTS DISCOVER
FOUNTAIN OF BRAINS
What to do to make high grades!
Helen Curtiss and Helen Wolff both
think that if they let their hair grow
they will have more protection for
their brains and their -brains -won't
roam around so much. Clara Foster
has a method".all her own rid hat
is to stay at the table and see how
much longer she can eat after the rest
of, the girls have finiihed' their, meal.
Ruth Peugh has decided not to wa-ter-
wave her hair any more because
she is afraid that the combs will in-jure
her brain. The best solution of
all comes from Virginia Gay, who
thinks that by eating oranges and eggs
she can acquire a sufficient amount
of gray matter to help 'her all her life.
Does one want anymore solutions?

TYRANNY IS ATTEMPTED
BY AJILENIUI.

'
ithe first' time since Greek ty-rants
made attempts at seizing the
reins of governments in the Greek
cit3y-states,, a tyranny has been set
up right here at Wesleyan in the
United States of America.
No one had wind of what was stir-ring
until the beginning of the new
semester when agitation was started
for new officers of government. By
the time this agitation had started the
tribe of the Ahlenii were well ground-ed
in the minor offices of the school.
From there it was but a step.
Three or four weeks ago the lead-er
of the revolt seized the first stra-

NEW MUSIC SCHOOL BUILDING I
The above picture of the new music school is made possible be-cause
of the loss of $80,000 by Dr, Davidson. It embodies many
features which will make it the best of its type in the United States.

Wesleyan has been despoiled, robbed,
victimize! In one of the most sen-sational
day-light robberies in the his-tory
of Bloomington, yveggs made away
with over $80,000 Which had been raised
recently for the erection of the new
school of music building, from the
home of Dr. William J. Davidson on
Thursday morning. As yet no clew
has been discovered as to the per-petrators
of, the deed, but three sus-picious
characters, Noel Hershey, Wil-liamn
Bach, and Clyde Johnson, are be-ing
held for, further questioning.
The 'robbery itself was one of the
most unique and sensational in the
history of crime, the simplicity of the
method used possibly accounted for the
ultimate success. This is the story the
way Dr. Davidson tells it:
