We are going to confine ourself to a few incidents of our own experience—incidents Dinneen, S.J., to inspire a religious zeal such as might be found in the category of anyone's experiences. in this sacred devotion. First, there was the evening upon which we went for a walk with two kindred souls. WHOLESALE It was a cool evening, and we took our pipe with us, the only one of the trio to do so. We smoked about four pipefuls in the course of the stroll. One of our companions remarked at our capacity for consuming the weed as we were filling up for a fifth Fruits, Vegetables time. MUTH "Do you inhale?" he queried. We answered in the negative—then modified the Poultry negation with: "At least, never on a pipe." And then we went into a discussion of Art 710 13th N.W. cigarette inhaling with our friend, whose tobacco preference lay in . 606 Penna. Ave. N. W. Now, we smoke comparatively few cigarettes. "Comparatively" in the sense of Supplies Washington, D.C. one cigarette to every pipeful of tobacco. But the cigarette has its innings every so often—to speed up the lagging keys on the last two pages of a story, to clear the perception for a ferreting out of mistypes in a batch of copy, the cigarette is the best '"WSi i^UMJMr" prescription. And when we are physically tired a good deep inhale of the cigarette often suffices to act as a tonic. The effect is instantaneous—and most perceptible. It may be compared to the awakening function performed by a cold plunge when one finds oneself still drowsy after a night's sleep. We have found that many a veteran smoker considers non-inhaling a waste of smoking material. On the other hand, we have met countless maintainers of: "All the delights of smoking may be had without inhaling." We dislike to inhale on a pipe, ourself. But as we remarked above, cig- arette inhaling hath charms to exhilarate the flagging spirits. On the night of which we were speaking we were discussing that very property of the cigarette with our friends. We went into details as to the intense delight an inhalation can give. Then we felt that nothing would be quite so delightful as a cigarette at that particular moment. Our cravings aroused by auto-suggestion, in the literal sense of that term, we asked a comrade for one of his cigarettes. Unfortunately, he had left them at home. But we entered the nearest store where they might be purchased and bought a package of our favorite brand. Reconsidering our opening paragraph, we have decided that it is not so much an example of the power of suggestion as a begetter of a train of thought. The differ- ence between the two is patent. A suggestion leads one towards a definite act or object; a train of thought may ramble from now till Doomsday, touching on a mil- lion such definite things. It is the train of thought started by the mention of pipes in the preceding paragraph that reminds us of another incident. We were visiting a friend of ours at his college, having with us a copy of our own Alma Mater's maga- zine which bore an effusion of our pen. Our friend desired it to be read him; we commenced by reciting the title, which happened to be: "Pipes; Their Accumulation and Decay." He stopped us from further reading not, as we at first feared, because he decided that enough was enough, even in friendship's name, but with the flattering statement that the title was (in his estimation) perfect—and we must read no further until he had gone down the corridor "to beg some tobacco." He asserted that the title had made smoking an imperative accompaniment. Perhaps you've spent an evening by a radio, tuned in on an announcer who gushes to the effect that he "can just see you sitting back in your easy chairs, with your comfortable slippers on " You may have been perfectly satisfied with your attire before, but that starts you dwelling on the perfection of comfort that would be yours if you were to don your slippers. Merely another instance. And if you are observant you will see that we have practiced what we preached in the opening lines. We say "Perhaps " This power works with equal potency in "reverse"—it may be the impeller of an aversion as well as an attraction. How many examples of dislikes for food alone can be traced to the memories they recall—there is Damon, for instance. Sarsaparilla will ever, for him, be associated with castor oil, as it was in that beverage that it was first "sneaked over on him" in the days of his earlier life. And (to lend this article a truly literary tone) permit a mention of George Sainstbury's assertion for his dislike of the beverage perry because: "It always reminded me of the stuff my nurse used to put on my hair when I was small." But, departing a bit from the proverb of "Finis Corona't opus," we wish to save our corona for the finis. The introduction to Christopher Morley's "The Romany Stain" carried for us the most powerful suggestion. Briefly, "Romany Stain" appeared on a French wine card. According to Morley, John Mistletoe read that to himself and (Reproduced by Courtesy of America's Humor) exclaimed: "What a wonderful title for a book!" But the description of the little wine-shop, and the list that the card bore had most appeal for us. We were reading the book on the trolley, homeward bound from the library at which we had procured it. One of the Smith Brothers meets the Fortunately, a gift bottle of claret was at that moment untouched. We placed it on the ice immediately upon reaching home. manufacturer of "Old Gold" cigarettes.

Mr. James then summed up the case for New York University. Too much praise cannot be given this splendid debater. His work alone very nearly suc- ceeded in bringing his team victory.

So marked was the success of this de- bate that it is to be hoped that it will be merely the initial encounter between the colleges, and that we may have the pleasure of debating New York Univer- sity upon many future occasions. We wins assure them that never in the annals of all Georgetown has such an interesting, well-presented debate been delivered. We are extremely glad that Georgetown, due to the splendid training given its debaters by Father John J. Toohey, S.J., upheld its record of but two debates lost in sixteen years; but to our guests we wish to say on every count that never has a team departed from out- halls with such heartfelt congratulations.
