Tree Planting.
The Tree Planting Committee

of plans for the planting of the mem- |
orial trees in honor of the war heroes
of A. and M.
The date has been set for Monday,
February 23, which by proclamation
from the Governor has been named as
Arbor Day, since February 22, falls
on Sunday this year.
Exercises for the day will begin at

the inside of the curb. The greater
number will be planted along the south |
side of the drill field where few trees |
stands at present. A lesser number
will fill in the spaces between
trees now growing along the drive in
front of Dean Kyle’s and President |
Bizzell’s residences, and some will be |
set along the east side of the military |
walk.
Each tree will be identified with a
name plate inscribed with the name
of one loved son of the College, who
died in the service of his country.
Invitations have been sent to the
parents or guardians of all the men
for whom a gold star glitters in the
center of the huge service flag, ask-
ing for their attendance at the com-
memoration ceremonies.

PLACE ON TEAM OF SIX CONTESTS
Driver ahd Aggie Victors
Accorded a Triumph on Their
Return Here.
The schreeching whistles of Num-
ber Eighteen announced the trium-
Aggie
warriors yesterday morning; and later
the College yells coming from the
vicinity of the station indicated the
reception which was being given them
by the cadet corps. Band music then
drowned out voices and indicated the
style of escort accorded A. and M.’s
honored sons.
The last game of the trip was play-
ed with the Baylor Bars in Waco
Thursday afternoon and ‘was fought to
the decisive score of 37 to 11.
It was a very ugly game, from_the
account given by Director
his return. Little
to it, because of the abandonment of
all ethics of the game by both sides.
Several factors contributed to the un-
satisfactory way in which the contest
was fought, and by no means the
least of these was the conduct of the
| referee, who will be remembered by
the team as the joke of the trip.
McQuillen (Forward) got one field
goal, Ehlert (Forward) hooped five
from field positions, Forbes, (Center)
rung five field and four foul goals,
Williams (Center) got one field and
one free, Hartung (Guard) made one
field, and Dwyer (Guard) basketed
three field goals. Pierce substituted
for Ehlert.
Of the 11 points made by
five were foul throws.

PERIODICALS ARE
- VALUABLE ALSO
ARE INTERESTING
Professor Mayo Gives Brief Review
of Publications Received in
Library.
Of the more than one hundred
periodicals subscribed to by the Li-
brary, only a comparatively small
number are read habitually. Daily
papers and weekly and monthly mag-
| azines are not only the sole means
we have of keeping in touch with the
world. They contain a good many
things—many valuable though tran-
sient impressions, which never find
their way into books. In proportion
to its size, the Library has an un-
usually large collection of period-
icals, and the practice of reading a
good magazine article every day
would be an easy and valuable habit
to form.
The daily editorials of the New
York Times are probably the best ex-
amples~of newspaper writing in this
country, ‘and deal with every ques-
tion of national importance; the
Stars and Stripes should interest at
least every | ex-service man; while
among our Texas papers, several are
worth attention for more than the
sport columns and the scandals.
Of the weeklies, the Literary Di-
gest is already popular. It covers a
great deal of ground—{from interna-
tional problems to art and abstract
science—and it gives very briefly
the opinions of a great many au-
thorities. Some people who object
to being fed on literary hash would
probably prefer The Living Age, an
excellent but little known weekly
consisting of whole articles selected
from the best journals of America,
England, and Continental Europe.
Among the more interesting things
|in the current issue are “Egypt’s Plea
| for Independence,” from the Neue
Zurcher Zeitung, a Swiss newspaper;
“Political Sentiment in Germany’, a
brief and clear summary of the in-
ternal condition of our late enemy,
taken from a German paper, the
Neue Freie Presse; and “Where
Peace Fails”, by Jacques Bainville, a
brilliant exponent of the old-fashion-
ed diplomacy which Wilson put out
| of fashion, but which the recent in-
ternational dissension has encour-
aged to think that its day is not yet
done.
By far the best monthly journals
to read for current events are the
Review of Reviews and the World’s
Work. The Review of Reviews has
the advantage of being edited by
Albert Shaw, a powerful thinker and
most readable writer on public ques-
tions. The eight or ten page “Prog-
ress of the World” with which he
opens each number of the magazine
should not escape anyone who at-
tempts in any degree to keep abreast
of the times. Frank H. Simonds,
whom so many readers followed in
war-time, still contributes a valuable
monthly article to the Review of Re-
views. Still another feature of this
