Editor of The Battalion,
Campus.
My Dear Franke:
Will you please express through
the columns of The Battalion my deep
appreciation for the fine considera
tion and sweet thoughtfulness by the
corps during the recent illness and
subsequent death of Mrs. Ashburn. I
am mindful how traditions were set
aside at the Thanksgiving period in
order that she should not be disturb
ed. I am grateful too for the quie
tude which prevailed at Goodwin and
Bizzell halls during her severe ill
ness. The beautiful floral offering,
too, was appreciated. I knew that the
boys were feeling with me and for
me, her loss and that has given me
much comfort. Men capable of the
sympathy, the thoughtfulness and
graciousness exhibited by you all to
my family and me are marked as wor
thy of every tribute and praise.
Wherever I go, I shall cherish fond
ly the memories of happy associations
with the thousands of cadets with
whom I have rubbed elbows during my
affiliation with the College. I believe
in A. and M. and I believe in A. and
M. men and it is my sincere hope
that in the years to come I may be
able to be helpful to the institution
and its product.
Cordiallyiyour friend,
IKE ASHBUR

How Do You Live?
Are you living in this great age,
Or only hurrying thru?
Have you turned a clean new page
To write your life anew?
Do you know that the past has fled
With all its hate and strife,
And that you might as well be dead
As live in that past life ?
Do you know that to live means work
And ultimate happiness.
And that failure and death both lurk
In constant idleness?
Do you know that success is sure
If you want it bad enough;
If you have the proper stuff?
Do you know that it’s up to you
To work, succeed and live?
But first you must be true,
And learn to give and give and
give!

A Jelly Bean
t’s something nice and cute
ith small neckties and patent boots,
jith a part in his hair, and,
Hjs pants pressed so;
Jth crumbs in his pocket instead of
dough.
ith a little cane and a pair of spats,
Gbes to a dance and thinks he’s a cat.
Stapds on the floor like an angel pose,
Unfjil some little girl comes along and
says SURE.
He (acts so nice and looks so fine.
Do the most up-to-date farmers use
steam rollers to raise mashed pota\
toes?
Does i it require more imagination
to visualize coulombs playing leap
frog around an electric circuit or to
see molecules satisfying their valen

A Mexican, a negro and “the
roomit” made a bet as to which of
them could stand being kept in a goat
stable the longest. At 12 o’clock the;
all entered the stable. After a fe
minutes the Mexican came out. Te:
minhtes' was all the negro could stand
and at 1 o’clock the goat appeared.
For the first time this year some
one has aroused the campus and the
authorities by dropping a torpedo, but
luckily, not in a dormitory so that
some company commander could get
the blame. The fellow who dropped
he bomb from the main building
lunday night did not get his outfit in
trouble, but he did come very near
etting caught outright, which would
ave been the best for all concerned.
The fellow who resorts to that old
time prank that has gotten entirely
too far behind times, and is taking a
very dangerous risk. There is no use
starting all the trouble again that we
have had here over torpedoes, so let’s
ot do it.—R. B. J.

The Flapper’s Anthem
Oh, Phyllis dear, and did you hear
The news that’s going ’round?
The skirt hems drop, and may not stop
Until they reach the ground.
Perhaps the train will come again,
And bustles, too—good night!
If Style asserts we’ll wear hoopskirts;
I’ll tell the world I’ll fight!
They say the snobs may rule out bobs,
And order corkscrew curls;
And if it’s friz—Oh, say, geewhiz,
Won’t that be awful, girls!
And that the clocks may leave our
socks.
And low heels come in style;
But when some dunce says “corsets”
once,
I say I’ll run a mile!
’Mongst other tricks, they say lip
sticks
Must toddle off the scene.
To cry “pooh, pooh” at powder too,
May enter Fashion’s bean.
And in that mood may be tabooed
The cigaretts we smoke;
But when they shout that vamping's
out,
I’ll lie right down and croak!
—Exchange.
If the home is the girls’ prison,
and the woman’s workhouse, we pity
the large number of jail birds run
ning at large today and the great
number of unemployed among the
feminine sex.
