Bobbed Women Made an Infidel of Me

By Aileline M. Conner

Yes, I really did believe it And with dhe respect receive it, Though I'd heard the same old legend o'er and o'er; How when he was shorn and shaven Up to Sampson stepped Poe's-Raven, Croaking, t'You, sir, will be husky,q-Nevermore."

'Twas quite easy to acept it And I truly did expect it, .tr To maintain its pristine place and fame, you see' But the women bobbed and shaven Wrecked my strong faith's quiet haven, They have made a carping infidel of me.

And I now have learned to doubt it And with skepticism flout it. Who says Samson's strength was in his hair? That was just a wild contention Raised to bind us with convention, And I'm going to tell the world "it wasn't fair."

For the flocks of bobbed haired ladiesRuths and Genevieves and Sadies, Are if anything much stronger than they were; So I'm thinking about other Stories which I learned from Mother, And my doubting soul is whispering-"beware."

Now I'm analyzing Adam Wondering if perchance he had 'em, When he claimed that Eve was carved from out his side. Oh, these wild doubts do assail me, And with sharp goads lash and flail me, Till beneath some stable creed I long to hide.

But the cause of my affliction And my evil predilection, Can be traced to this experience, you'll agree; To my loss of faith in SamsonStrong, majestic, virile, handsome, Oh, bobbed women made an infidel of me.

That Old Gang Of Ours

Sometimes the Club that is not blessed with a gang to run it is in hard luck. Most of the gangs who have run clubs would be glad to have the others join them in their efforts to rnake the club a success. The gang is usually the workers.

Isn't it the truth ? If a member takes the work sincerely and loves its teachings to qhe extent of becoming active, a teader if you please, why then he unconsciously becomes a part of the gang. Wouldn't it be just wonderful if every member of Hoo-Hoo was a living active gangster?
