HOUSTON, TEXAS
CHICAGO ALUMNI
ORGANIZE
Seven Rice Exes Begin
New Club
Special to The Thresher:
Chicago, 111., Oct. 2—Seven former
Rice students on September 19, gath-
ered around a dinner table in the
Stevens Restaurant here and organ-
ized a Chicago-Rice Club.
During the meal reminiscences of
past events of the "good old college
days" were discussed.
The members of the newly formed
club are to meet once a month at one
of the prominent restaurants in Chi-
cago.
R. S. Bickford is to act as secretary
until the club is completely organized
and the officers elected.
The men present at the first meet-
ing were:
A. L. Carr, J. Henry, R. D. Langley,
J. W. McFarland, R. S. Munger, H.
P. Ross, R. S. Bickford.

Huxley-
(Continued from Page 1.)
The lecturer said Great Britain's
population, like France's now, would
cease to increase after 100 years.
"Evolution has always stood for
social progress," Huxley said in clos-
ing. "Birth control is an inevitable
and integral part of evolution. Gov-
ernments, in time, will have to sanc-
tion it."
Dr. Huxley delivered his final lec-
ture Wednesday night, on "Philosoph-
ical Biology."
Free Thinking.
"Those modern churches which have
no place for free thinking have no
place in modern culture," was his key-
note.
"Religion is a normal, organic func-
tion, like peristalsis, but it should not
be confused wtih dogma, ritualism or
sectarianism.
"The church that stands in the way
of progress should be destroyed," con-
tinued the image-breaker.
"Remember, you are the trustees of
evolution!" Huxley solemnly warned
his audience.
Then the spectacled, thin prophet
turned the last page. He went to Aus-
tin to lecture at the University of
Texas.
Club Hears Talk
On Henry James
A study of the life and works of
Henry James composed the literary
program of the Elizabeth Baldwin
Literary Eociety at its regular meet-
ing at Autry House Monday after-
noon. The life of the novelist was
outlined by Eleanor Miller, and one
of his writings, Daisy Miller, was dis-
cussed by Marie Logan.
Martha Campbell Scott was recently
chosen to -serve the society as mem-
ber-at-large. Other officers are: Kath-
erine Wood, president; Margaret Les-
ter, vice-president; Ruth Elizabeth
Cathcart, secretary; and Mary Louise
Howze, treasurer.
A number of patronesses were
chosen at the first meeting, including
Mrs. Edna W. Saunders, Miss Ellen
D. MacCorquodale, Mrs. R. A. Tsanoff,
Miss Katie Daffan, and Mrs. Edgar
Odell Lovett.

A HINT TO BORES
Characters: Plank and Auger.
When the play opens Auger is seen
bending over Plank who has a look
of intense pain upon his strong,
though plane, features.
Auger smiles satanically and says
to Plank: "Am I boring you, old
deah?"
Plank writhes in anguish and gasps:
"Yes, you're boring me to the heart,
you devil."
Auger replies: "Never mind, I'll
soon be through."
Curtain.
He—"You looked so absent-minded
when I spoke to you this morning."
She—"I was probably wrapped up
in thought."
He (nothing on him)—"It's a won-
der you didn't take cold."Beanpot.
SHIFTLESS HUBBY
Mrs. J. Walker—"I see you are
driving the new car yourself."
Mrs. Driver—'Yes, my husband has
been so busy he hasn't learned to
change gears yet."
Mrs. J. Walker—"He hasn't?"
Mrs. K. Driver—"No; he can't
change the gears, so I have to shift
for myself."

I By the shores of Cuticura,
By the sparkling Pluto Water,
Liver the Prophylactic chiclet,
Danderine, fair Buick's daughter.
She was loved by Instant Postum,
Son of Sunkist and Victrola,
Heir apparent to the Mazda
! Of the tribe of Coca-Cola.
Through the Tanlac strolled the
lovers,
Through the Shredded Wheat they
wandered;
"Lovely little Wrigley Chiclet,"
Were the words of Instant Postum.
"No Pyrene can quench the fire,
No Aspirin still the heartache.
Oh, my Prestolite desire,
Let us marry, little Djer Kiss."
—New York Sun.
