African Qualifies As Full-Fledged
Member Of Burlington Liars Club
BURLINGTON, Wis„ Oct. 26 (/P)
Oscar (you’re another) Hulett, pres-
ident of the Burlington Liars’ club,
peered into his mail bag yesterday
and spotted a letter bearing an Af-
rican stamp.
‘Hmm, Haile Selassie wants to
join the club,” mused the leader of
the organization that annually se-
lects the world champion prevari-
cator.
But the missive wasn’t from the
conquering lion of Judah, Hulett,
however, was just as satisfied, for
the letter, bearing a few choice lies,
bad traveled all the way from Ed-
ward Martin who lives in Freetown,
Sierra Leone, British West Africa.
Down here in Africa,” Martin
wrote, “there’s a very common bird
that almost everyone hunts, but It’s
really not much use. This bird Is
very queer; it flies upside down and
when a bullet hits one, the bird falls
up.
“The British government had for-
bidden me to fish anw more. It’s
all because I hauled in a large fish
and the shoreline of the lake drop-
ped 40 miles when I took it out. It
amuses me to think of what some
scientists will decide in future years
when they find the skeleton of that
fish so far from water.”

Invaders’ Aerial-
(Continued from Page 1)
came airtight as the Cyclone swept
into reach of a goal post.
Memphis never resorted to the air
until the second period. It was
three tries at the line and a punt
for both squads during most of the
first period, neither squad threaten-
ing to score. In the second period
the Irish launched its ordinarily
powerful ground attack, taking the
ball from midfield to the Cyclone
18-yard line. But a 5-yard penalty
against the Irish bobbed up. Then
Wells fumbled and Memphis cover-
ed and punted out of danger.
After Shamrock scored In the mid-
dle of the third period, the Cyclone
resorted to the air altogether, minc-
ing in a running formation every
third or fourth play, usually for no
gain. Memphis made a desperate
try for a touchdown in the first of
the fourth quarter, after two long
passes and a 15-yard penalty against
Shamrock had put the ball on
Shamrock's 14-yard line. But the
Irish chargers rushed the passer and
after making him chunk two into
vacant lots, Schoonover intercepted
a pass and advanced the ball to
Shamrock’s 28-yard line.
Captain Wells and C. Rook were
|Outstan|din|g among the Irishmen
while the passing team of Powers to
Walker outshone all other Mem-
phis performers. The Irish line, as
a whole, was on the job, turning in
a game that would be a credit to a
class “A” squad. Captain McBee
and Sanders turned in the best
game of the Cyclone linesmen.

Esther Johnsson-
(Oontlnued from Page 1)
the Chicago Tribune In a long, In-
teresting article about Miss Johns-
son. The article continues in part:
"However, Miss Johnsson, a mod-
est and unpretentious American ar-
tist from Amarillo, Texas, counts
Paris, Vienna, Berlin and Stock-
holm among the European cities
which pay tribute to her as one of
the leading pianists of the day.
“Miss Johnsson is of Swedish de-
scent and follows a long line of
family musicians. Her father, A. V.
Johnsson, was well known in musi-
cal circles and was one of the first
choral directors In Chicago. She
has studied music since the age of
three and credits her success to years
of daily practice.
"Esther Johnsson won her first
honors in the musical world when
she was graduated by the University
School of Music at Lincoln, Neb.,
where she won the degree of master
of music. At the same time she was
awarded the scholarship of Sigma
Alpha Iota sorority and was elected
to the Pi Kappa Lambda fraternity,
a national honorary society for mu-
sicians of special talent.”
After being graduated at Lincoln,
the young artist went to Europe and
continued her studies under Mac-
Pherson in London, Boulanger in
Paris and Sauer in Vienna.
Previously she had studied piano
three years under the tutelage of
Sigismond Strojowskl in New York,
where she played before Paderewski,
who informed her: “You can play
with distinction anywhere in the
world.”

To Valley of Burei
Capture of many prisoners was
reported as the tanks pushed their
way to the Valley of Burei, the
dispatches said.
From Harar, walled city of Ethi-
opia that lies between the Ogaden
and the empire's vital railroad,
thousands of warriors were dispatch-
ed to the front and their governor-
commander, Ras Nasibu, predicted
Jljlga would be a bulwark of ,the
southern defense.
Jljlga Is about 50 miles east of
Harar. Ethiopia has mobilized there
to prevent the Italian southern
army from meeting the northern
forces and thus Unking her colonies
of Eritrea and Somaliland with oc-
cupied territory.

offered only two criticisms, one on
the crowded condidtlon which ex-
ists in the general science depart-
ment and a suggestion that the li-
brary be enlarged,
Praise for both faculty, school
board and student body is contain-
ed in Mr. Wilson’s report, which is
made under five heads, as follows:
1. The buildings and equipment
are excellent.
2. There is every indication if ex-
cellent organization and adminis-
tration.
3. The course of study is extensive
and well balanced. The school has
a very strong commercial arts de-
partment, but has a crowded con-
dition in general science. The li-
brary should be enlarged and the
method of the open-shelf should be
adopted.
4. Teachers are well prepared and
are working under most favorable
conditions. The atmosphere of the
schools is fine, and the student body
has the proper school spirit,
5. The school authorities are to be
commended for the development of
an excellent school systm.

ing the schools and expressed appre-
ciation for the courtesies shown him
