beyond endurance by cruel and un-

rounds out the bill in admirable man-

satire on Eighteenth Century court
intrigue. It is laid at the court of
Catherine the Great and the passion- j

central character. She had a way of 1

loan of .'U.OoO Cossacks to quel] the '
rebels in America, is typical of the j

"Chug-chug," Raid the truck.
It was Tim McCarthy's truck that
was talking in this outlandish manner.
But Tim was not ashamed of it, for
the truck was old and Tim had been
taught in his youth to respect old age.
So Tim did not reprimand the truck.
Patricia Mulligan had not beer,
reared as well as Tim, and as a result
did not respect old age in the way that
she should. j
"Why don't you ditch this old junk j
and buy a new truck," she asked j
sacriliglously. "How do you expect me j
to 'teep going with you if you can't;
eve i furnish me a decent truck to go1
joy riding in?" she asked Tim.
"Say, listen here," said Tim in a j
rage of passion, "I've owned this truck j
for 10 years and I don't intend to |
desert it just because it says 'chug- ■
cliug' when it get.s in a boghole."
"And another thing," he added in'
the manner of none other than Andy j
Gump, "you are considerably older
than this truck, and I have been taking
good cure of you for lo these many !
years. When I ditch this truck I in- j
tend to ditch you. too. And that's!
that."
"Oh, you will ditch me. will you?" <
and Pat turned up her nose in a dis-
gusting manner that no one but Pat j
could do.
'% y, listen here, gal. I don't believe ;
you've been true to me. You're trying
to two-time me ain't you? Where did
you get that ruby-red pearl necklace,
answer me that?" I
"Not that it's any of your business
but my daddy gave that to me," was
the retort courteous.
"Hey, I know your daddy died many ,
years ago; don't try to trifle with ray:
affections. Who gave you that there j
necklace?"
"I said my daddy gave it, to me, and
I meant my daddy. You seem to think i
that even in these modern times a;
father is the only daddy a girl ever.
has. Well he's not; besides I .could
have oodles of daddies if 1 just want-
ed them, but the strain is too great."
"You're stepping on d a nger o u s
around, little gal; don't, you know
that a McCarthy and the Northwest
Mounted are the only two organiza-
tions that always get their man. If I
ever find out who your beneficent
daddy is. there will be a fatherless
orphan surviving the melange."
"Tim, don't use such big words; 1
can't understand what you are talking
about."
"Actions speak louder than words,"
was Tim's phllospohical come-back.
"You understand all I said the other
night when I half ehoked you to death
and suppose 1 make you understand
me again."
"Tim, my big brute!"
"Don't call me a brute, or I'll skin
you alive."
"If you do I'll do just what little
Rosie did; 1 charge you with assault."
"Chug-chug," said the truck.
"Shut up," said Pat.
"Are you talking to me," queried
Tim.
"I was not, but if the shoe fits,
wear it."
"Chug-chug, sputter, cough, spwet,"
murmured the truck in the last throes
of agony.
By this time the three were far out
in the country.
"Two is company, three's a crowd,"
commented Tim. "Perhaps we had
better leave this truck."
"Ou the other hand," replied Patricia
Mulligan, the stringy-haired gold-
digger, "1 think this truck will do very
well."
"Chug-Chug." purred the truck.
But just then Tim, who for some
time had been driving with one hand,
got his mind off his business and lost
control of the truck.
"Chug-chug," shrieked the wagon,
and headed toward a deep ravine.
But alas and alackaday, the warning
was too late. The truck gave one
exultant bound and landed in the
ravine.
"See." said Tim. "I told you that
when I ditched the truck I'll ditch
you."
But Patricia made no reply. All
three of them forgot to come home
that night.

Bert of Texas Track Men to
Today and tomorrow over BOO high
school athletes from all over the state
of Texas will be present on the Rice
campus for the purpose of competing
in the annual Rice Institute invitation
interschoiastic relay games to be held
at the athletic field.
The entry list in this year's meet
shows the relays will be up to previous
standards set in drawing the very best
that Texas schools have to offer in
the way of track and field performers.
The high school track men will be
housed in the dormitories during their
stay at Rice,
Friday the eliminations will be held
with Saturday reserved for the finals
only. One school may enter only two
men in each of the 15 events. All of
the Houston high schools are entered
and are figured to make a strong
showing.
The Rice interseholastles are recog-
nized as the high school classic of
Texas, not alone because they draw
the most thoroughly representative
athletes, but because of the sparkling
array of medals and trophies that
await the individual and team winners.
The Rice relays coming between the
various district meets and the state
finals, will furnish ideal competition
to keep the athletes in trim for the
state meet in track and field events at
Austin May 5, ti and 7.
R—
It is the policy of Rice students to
make no disrespectful remarks againBt
the opposing team at athletic events.
That privilege is reserved for the
alumni.

THE PERFECT MAN
There is a man who never drinks
Nor smokes nor chews nor swears;
Who never gambles, never flirts
And shuns all sinful snares—
He's paralyzed.
There is a man who never does
Anything that is not right;
His wife tan tell just where he is
At morning, noon, and night—
He's dead,
