Hlie goes on, "How to make people laugh to laugh with you, not at you is a problem not to be attacked 'lightly. To create laughter Is to create a force that lightens the burden of life and carriers the mind away from the petty carea and heartaches of dally life, and starts one out with renewed strength to overcome th difficulties that beset one on tliv journey through tills none too asy world. The actor or actress who undertaken to make an audience laugh has to produce a condition in their minds that will, tor the time being, make them forget themselves and In forgetttini theniselvea also forget all things that are troubling them. This Is an effect that makes comedy worth while, and to prodhce which gives the actor er actress an Incentive to hard work and atudy. To.

make people luagh, however. Is not enough. They should laugh, and not be ashamed afterwards of having done so, or wonder why they laughed anyhow. Too often comedy is classed with rough and tumble play which In their essential sense are hardly possessed of real humor.

The final score was 7 to 0 in favor of Sheridan. Not until the final quarter of the game were the Soldiers aole to push the ball over and it was then after a lucky break in their favor, or it might be termed and unlucky break against Auburn for wiih the ball within striking distance the heavy linesmen of the Sheridan team had been held for four downs, within inches of their goal and with goal to gain, the break came In the shape of a penalty against the collegians for being oft side and Sheridan had the ball on the one foot line as a first down.

Van Aken carried yie ball over on the next play and Ashbaugh kicked goal. The marvel of the game was the class of tootball "Mike" Donahue had instilled into his light footballers.

Mhrrldan Stlra TAKE IT TO THE Briscoe Motor Cars throughout the war time period maintained its normal pre-war price as a result of keen, but honest manufacturing methods. At no time did the Briscoe advance its price by leaps and bounds, thereby taking advantage of "war time profiteering." Any manufacturer, who a few weeks ago asked a higher price for his automobiles than he does today or will within a reasonable period of time to come, has beyond doubt taken advantage of the public in offering his product at a higher price than it was actually worth. Briscoe prices have always been based on actual manufacturing cost plus a legitimate margin of profit, thereby offering greater value at less cost than any car in its price class. 3riscoe cars are 99 per cent factory built, not assembled thereby -iliminating the middle man's profits: invite comparison by careful investigation and demonstration.

Although the war has ended and there is no demand for this labor, parents of the children in many instances have not shown any desire to have thilr children return to school.
