Darling
She was sweet of face
and graceful of figure
—so alluring, in fact,
that she captivated her-
self. And often she
pressed her lips to her
own image in jthe mirror
and murmured, “YOU
DARLING!”
She mowed the swains
down right and left, and
awoke to the shallowness
of her soul only after
she had involved her
loved ones in grief and
near-tragedy.

Terry: “Are you going out tonight?”
Rhoda: “No, I thought you knew
I’va——”
Terry : “Iva, who ?”
Rhoda: “I’va cold.”
She: “I’ll never trust any man in
the dark.”
He (after a scrap) : “It’s a cinch you
have nothing to fear in the daytime.”

Can You Answer?
Where can a man buy a cap for his knee
Or a key to a lock of his hair?
Can his eyes be called acadamies,
Because there are pupils there?
In the crown of his head
What gems are found?
Who travels the bridge of his nose?
Can he tfise, when shingling the roof
of his mouth,
The nails on the ends of his toes?
Can the crook of his elbow be sent
to jail;
If so, what did it do?
How does he sharpen his shoulder
blades?
I’ll be hanged if I know. Do you?
Can he sit in the shade of the palm
of his hand,
Or beat on the drum of his ear?
Does the calf of his leg eat the corn
on his toe?
A CASE OF OVERSIGHT
“That’s a fine looking dog you have,
what’s his name?”
“Ginger.”
“Does he bite?”
“No ginger snaps.”—Dallas News. *
Why is the editorial page not read
by the majority, of students? Such a
question is fired point-blank at the edi-
tor throughout the year. Here is the
situation as we see it. The editorial
page is read. It is read as nften as
the other pages. To be quite frank,
the newspaper is not read in the least,
it is inspected.
The ordinary process of reading a
newspaper consists in the following op-
erations : First, the black-streaked head
line arrests the eye; secondly, minor
headlines are brought into focus;
thirdly, the page is turned; fifthly, the
page is closed, folded, thrown down
or put in a book.
To be sure we can’t print headlines
and headlines alone, for the eye would
be assaulted by too many blank spaces.
A cartoon under each headline would
be very attractive and impressive but
the college newspaper editors do not
have time to speculate in oil and un-
less the students should organize a
capitalizing plan on the cartoons the
financial burden would be a bit too
strenuous.
To be real truthful—there are so few
darn things that are interesting.
ECHOES
(By Uncle Ichabod.)
We cannot all be Newtons and Kep-
lers, Miltons and Shakespeares, Cal-
houns and Websters; but we can be
great in the spheres for which God
created us.
If the wrecked hopes and shattered
dreams that strew the pathway of man-
kind teach us anything it is that dis-
contentment with out lot and the envy
of spirits that soar aboe u(s are the
serpents that destroy the Edens of so
many human hearts. We forget that
whoever enters the lists for the laurel
wreath of renown must bear his head
for a crown of thorns and prepare to
drink of the bitter cup which sorrow
has pressed to the lips of genius in
every age.
There never was a victory won in
this world that did not cost human suf-
fering ; there never was a pearl of truth
that was not the price of agony. So-
crates taught the immortality of the
soul, and a cup of hemlock was the re-
ward of his dreams; Paul preached it,
and was paid with the dungeon and
death* Christ demonstrated it, and
perished on the cross that our fallen
race might taste the^ sweets of eter-
nal life and eternal happiness. All the
blessings we enjoy come to us through
blood and tears.
Brave old Gutenberg invented mov-
able type under the lash of injustice,
and even in the face of exile and death;
and what floods of light have flowed
from his dream of the printing press}
What rivers of knowledge! What Nia-
garas of happiness!
The wisdom, the experience, the phi-
losophy and learning of every land and
clime are ours. Every library is a
treasure house of wisdom and exper-
ience and every book is a volume of
dreams. We open them and turn the
leaves and the shadows of vanished
centuries pass before our eyes.
All that we gather from the vanished
past is a harvest of dreams, a few gol-
den sheaves of thought, a few echoes
of music from harp strings that are
broken, a few lines and curves of beau-
ty traced on dismantled walls and fal-
len columns, and a few deeds of chiv-
alry to tell the story of some departed
Don Quixote charging the windmill
of earthly glory.
HEALTH WEEK
The week of February 26-March 3
has been designated by the Y. W. C. A.
as Health Week. The idea of this
week, according to the chairman of
the program committee of the Y. W.
C. A., is to impress upon the girls the
importance of daily health habits.
Miss Anna Hiss, head of the Phy-
sical Training department at the Uni-
ersity of Texas, will speak at general
assembly next Tuesday morning. Miss
Hiss is an enthusiastic swimmer,
hiker, tennis player, basket ball star,
field hockey player, and she can row
a boat and paddle a canoe too. Miss
Hiss has been at the University for
three years, and has been instrumental
in building up her department in the
school.
Dr. E. L. Lee, a local physician, will
address the Y. W. C. A. meeting on
Wednesday at ten o’clock. Dr. Lee will
discuss the prevention of some of the
common diseases.
Posters, giving hints about daily
health rules, will be placed about the
buildings during the week. AH girls
are asked to watch for the posters, and
play the health game with us.

MORE POPULAR
MUSIC A SOCIALIZING FORCE
“One touch of nature makes the
whole world kin.” This touch of na-
ture is simply something which evokes
a mood that is good and universally
experienced. It is these broad, uni-
versal, human moods with which music
deals; and consequently people exhibit,
under the appeal of music, a closeness
of sympathy and a unity of feeling
that surpass any other unity ordinarily
experienced. The fact that music
can enlist the participation of large
numbers of people at the same time,
though they be young and old and
diverse in many ways, is again a mat-
ter of profound significance. In a cos-
mopolitan community the hour of song
in the public schools, or of community
chorus practice by adults, may be the
only time when complete. social solid-
arity is attained by a community group.
The character of modern industrial
and commercial life tends toward the
mechanization of human life. In many
callings men are never so little their
own true selves as when they are at
work. It is during the leisure hours
that the individual powers and quali-
ties are restored and developed. Music
holds a safe and strong regenerative
power for the individual during these
hours immeasurably greater than the
wearing excitements into which he is
so often led.—The Interscholastic.
Leaguer.

Local American Legion Post Will Pre-
sent This Greatest War Picture __
Here at The Palace Soon.
The war pictures which are to be
shown by the San Marcos Post Ameri-
can Legion at the Palace Theatre on
March 14th and 15th promise to give
theatre goers a thrill that even D, W.
Griffith’s master productions have been
unable to register.
These pictures are the only official
and authentic ones that have ever been
released by the War Department, and
are shown only by Veteran Organiza-
tions. These were all taken in France
by the U. S. Army Signal Corps, and
have been assembled so that they form
the complete history of America’s part
in the World War. Every division that
saw real service in France is shown in
action against the Germans.
Many of our local boys were with the
36th and 90th Divisions which are
shown in action against the Germans,
doing their bit in the fight for the
freedom of the world.

(Leslie Cooper, in San Marcos Record)
We wish to call attention to the
great record of the Normal Training
School’s basketball team, the Lobos
having won nine games out of ten, play-
ed. This game was lost to the Aca-
demy Cubs by the close margin of two
points. The team’s success is due, in
a large measure, to the careful coach-
ing of Henry (Pete) Shands, and to
the fighting spirit that he has instilled
into his athletes. '-r.

The Hobo Game.
(We’ve been unable to get complete
data on this game. We shall place
line-ufp and summary on bulletin board.)
The Normal High Hoboes, the girls’
basketball team and mates to the Eo-
boes. opened their season against the
Academy sextet last Tuesday after-
noon on the Academy court.
1 he game was an exceedingly good
one from a spectator’s point of view.
The San Marcos Academy girls were
able to inch out with a one point lead,
making the final count 15-16.
That Coach Miss Brown has de-
veloped a fast little team is a sure
thing. The Academy girls, like the boys,
played Normal’s varsity last year.
This year our Normal High teams are
able to cope with them successfully.
We understand the two teams are to
meet in the college gym next week.
Go after ’em, Hobqs! You can beat
’em! They don’t ever beat a Hobo or a
Lobo but once!
