blossoms at the entrance and form-
ing- a bower in one corner. Japan-

"A BETTER MENDER
THE FINEST BLENDER"
That "big1 sister" feeling caused
a University of Wisconsin sorority
girl a lot of embarrassment recent-
ly.
Before a lecture class began, she
noticed a small boy sitting next to
a friend of hers. She assumed the
lad was a brother and was visiting
the class with his sister so she
chatted with the young man in
conversttion slightly above the
"Little Red Hiding Hood" plane.
Suspicion started to itch her
when the class began and the lad
started taking notes. He seemed to
be such a gentlemanly little' fellow
—so well behaved. As the - class
progressed, she read some of the
notes and gulped when she saw
that they were well written.
After class she rushed up to her
sorority sister and said: "Say, I
thought he was your brother. I . ."
"Yes, I know but how could I
have told you? He's the 21-year-
old midget enrolled in the School
of Commerce."
Co-cds at the University of Cali-
fornia are sure now that Stanford
gals can't take it.
During the recent cold snap
many Stanford co-eds abandoned
their silk lingerie for furry red
flannel under%vear. Palo Alto mer-
chants completely sold out and
claimed that Stanford women had
been the heaviest buyers.
But did the University of Cali-
fornia females go in for the "scar-
let scratchies?" Not on your life.
When proprietors of Berkeley
stores wore asked if they sold the
brilliantly-lined underwear, they
were taken aback.
"Red flannels?" cried one pro-
prietress, arching her eyebrows, "I
didn't even know they were on the
market anymore in California."
Another admitted that she had
just one steady customer for
"woolies," but "she is a lady well
over 70 years old."

"I've received a lot of unusua.1
requests, but this one beats them
all," says Ben Schmoker, executive
secretary of the University of
Minnesota's Y. M. C, A.
A mother, worried about her
freshman son, wrote him the fol-
lowing letter:
"I am sending you three suits of
woolen i:nderwear under separate
cover. Please see to it that my boy
wears them as he should during
this cold weather."
Since it's the ri.yht time of the
school year to tell stories about
freshmen, Schmoker relates this
one:
"Not long ago a freshman stop-
ped me and said, 'Can you please
tell rne in what building the cam-
Students from the college who as-
sisted the Stephenville Music Club
in presenting a negro ministrel
Friday at the High School were
Marjorie Page, Henry Wray, and
Sally Haywood, tap dancers; Arthur
Wagy and Albert Withrow, ba-
zooka novelty; and Calva McCurdy,
Guinevere Wiisehunt, Dorothy
Davis, Virginia Scott, violin quar-
tet, and Mary Leone Hoge, accom-
panist.
Benedict Addresses Exes
Dr. H. Y. Benedict in a talk to
ex-students of the University of
Texas on March 2 displayed some
humor for which he is famous. Part
of hifi speech is as follows: "The
museum and dormitories and main
buildings are being? finished, the
Legislature is in session, the co-
eds are as attractive as ever, the
size of the next biennial appropri-
ation is yet in doubt, the number of
bustees is normal, and spring ath-
letes are getting ready to spring."
Fine Arts Meeting
The Fine Arts Club met Tues-
day evening at 7:00 o'clock with
new officers in charge. Mr. Charles
W. Froh was in charge of the pro-
gram. Those apearing in piano
numbers were Janies Saunders,
and Lucille Martin. Lillian Sum-
my and Eugena Gentry received
pins for achievement. Calva Mc-
Cudy sang two numbers.
Wheat has been found in Egyp-
tian tombs 6,000 years old.
The first home of the olive is
said to have been Syria.
Some of the native instinct came
out the other night in the Fort
when th-e boys held a barn yard
club meeting. There was boxing
and music, and it wound up with
preaching with Reverend Graves
conducting the services. That well
I known dance team of Boaz and
j Tinker entertained at the inter-
mission, and they did so well
that all the boys wanted the in-
termission to last the rest of the
program.
I feel sorry for all the boys that,
do not haw a home and can not
go to one, but 1 don't know whether
[ feel so sorry for the boys that do
have a homo and then don't stay in
it, as the Redwine twins do the
Port. There is always a stream of
clattering of tongues when these
two flashes enter the Fort and then
it never ceases until they leave.
That is the rumored cause of so
many on the ten hour list. The
boys can not study as long as the
storm is going on.
I wonder what goes on in the
private sessions that McClung,
Bagget, and Hilley hold in their
room 1 It is barred to anyone else
other than those three. Maybe they
plan to have a session on their
past or future love affairs at the
cost of two and one-half cents a
throw.
All the boys that went to Austin
came back looking worse than they
did when they got through play-
ing T.W.C. Surely the game that
they played at Austin was not that
exciting. What sort of game did
you play ? By the way, I believe
that Jude Smith came back a little
early to have a date with Teddy,
Surely you are not going to let
this girl play a piece of music to
the tune of 92.50, are you ?
Butch (Ten hour list) Carrigan
has dccided to give up the women
so he will not be on the Registrar's
honor roll. Yes, he has given them
; up I We have seen him with that
little Goodwin girl every minute
since he has come back from Aus-
tin. Jimmy, I must say that you
have a good start.
Guy (Ham Bacon) Moore has
been missing some of the fun. in
the Fort lately since he has spend-
ing his time elsewhere. Guy must
surely like Bacon. What about
it, Guy?
When Mr. (Chump) Key and Mr.
(Goodlooking) Cox called for their
dates Saturday night at the Dump,
low and behold they were" both
soaking' themselves in the bath
tub. What was the hurry, boys?
Where.I got the name of chump for
Key? He bought a penny butter-
finger, and put it in a box, and sent
it to Ms first love, Miss Pansy Lee
Porter. Then he enclosed a long
note telling her that be could not
dance nor did he have lots of
money, but he would like to have
her heart. So you see how big
a chump he is.
Lyn (Big I) Clardy had a date
the other night with Miss Uloth,
and don't know the reason vrhy he
did not fill it for he is always talk-
ing about her.
"Starky" Adams didn't know
the?e were so many good looking
girls in school until he went to the
S. O. S. dinner for the basketball
club.
■ Rankin, aren't you afraid you'll
make "Slew" mad if you don't stop
courting his girl.
McConachic, what did you do for
playmates while you were in Aus-
tin? Did you have any of the lit-
tle girls down there fooled too ?
Keep on phoning Giere. I'll bet
you can get a date yet,—The Three
Bachelors.
COLLEGE FARM HOGS TOP
MARKET AT FORT WORTH
O. H. Frazier and Bur! Bobs,
herdsman at the college farm, car-
ried nineteen hogs to Fort Worth
last week. The hogs were class-
ed as fat barrows. The total weight
of the hogs was 4,706 pounds, and
they topped the market at a price
of .09 por pound. The total amount
received was $428.94.
Mr. Frazier says that the hogs
from the college farm have never
failed to bring the top price on
the market.
According to Mr. Bobo, some-
thing happened that has never hap-
pened before. One of th-e fine An-
gora goats brought three kids. So
far all are living and normal in
every way.
There are also fourteen lambs
less than three weeks old and two
litters of pigs with a total of 16
pigs.
FORMER TEACHER HONORED
AT POODS CLASS DINNER
Moat of Manhattan's freight
must float to terminals.
In 1907 an average tire and tube
cost approximately $44. The tire
lasted about 3,000 miles.
On March 3 the senior foods
class served a dinner honoring
Mrs. Burton Reese, a former Tar-
leton student and faculty mem-
ber.
Dinner was served from three
tables covcred with white linen
cloths. The color scheme was green
and white, and the tables were
decorated with green leaves and
white flowers.
Those serving as hosts and hos-
tess were Grace Savior, Harry
Boaz, Juanita Hood, Jimmy Car-
rigan, Bennie Oscar Jackson, and
Jude Smith.
Guests attending were Mrs. Bur-
ton Reese, Miss Ida Lou Nelson,
Belton Hallmark, Kuth Chandler,
A. J. Whitecotton, Von Dean Geea-
lin, Joe Duncan, Jimmie Lee Hood,
T. F. Baines, Francis Phillips, Del-
ma Bnines, and Syd Davis.

SPRING BRINGS LOVE AND
BUTLER TELLS SURE PROOF
"In the spring a young man's
fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of love."
The truth in this immortal verse
grows self-evident on the cam-
pus as winter begins to thaw. More
"bachelors" are seen dragging co-
eds olf to the show. Some couples
even venture out of the Recreation
hall and wander about, observing
the beauties of nature. Bear in
mind, however, that these reac-
tions come only from "thoughts
of love", not from the real thing.
What is the real thing ? One Sam-
uel Busier, in "The Way of All
Flesh," gives us his infallible
proof of love:
"If a young man is in a small
boat on a choppy sea, along with
his affianced bride, and both are
seasick, and if the sick swain can
forget his own anguish in the
happiness of holding the fair one's
head when she is at her worst-
then he is in love, and his heart
will he in no danger of failing him
as he passes his fir plantation."
Tarletonites Attend Ballet
Those, attending th-e Trudi Skoop
Comic Ballet, a Fort Worth Civic
Association attraction, Wednesday
night were Mr. and Mrs. R. Berton
ColFin, Miss Margaret Bierschwale,
Roy Mefferd, Calva McCurdy,
Dorothy Davis, and Miss Elisabeth
Mayhew.
The next attraction will be the
appearance of th-e St. Louis Sym-
phony Orchestra on April 11. The
Association will have a member-
ship drive this spring, and those
purchasing tickets for the 1937-
38 season before April 11 will be
admitted to the St. Louis Sym-
phony concert on those tickets.

Helen Jepson tells why
she chooses Luckies for her voice
m *
LOVELY PRIMA DONNA OF
METROPOLITAN OPERA SAYS:
"A season of opera and concert
means my voice and throat must
be consistently in perfect condition.
Therefore, although most of my
smoking is done tuhile 1 am on
vacation, it is all important to me
that 1 he carefid in choosing my
cigarette, I smoke Luckies because
I enjoy their taste and because
I feel it is wiser for me to choose
a light smoke for my voice"
*3
e^osan
An
independent survey was made recently
among professional men and women—lawyers,
doctors, lecturers, scientists, etc* Of those who
said they smoke cigarettes, more than 87% stated
they personally prefer a light smoke.
Miss Jepson verifies the wisdom of this pref-
erence, and so do other leading artists of the
radio, stage, screen and opera. Their voices are
their fortunes. That's why so many of them
smoke Luckies* You, too, can have the throat pro-
tection of Luckies—a light smoke, free of certain
harsh irritants removed by the exclusive process
"It's Toasted". Luckies are gentle on the throat.
