College summer school. The divisions will include besides the regular college courses which will ye given to enahkbe students to make ‘p deficiencies er gain credit toward he regular degrees, the School of Cotton Classing, an eight weeks course in automobiles and tractors, he short course for graduate vet- sr'nar.ans and short course for elec- ric metermen. Th's does not in- :lude the regular Farmer’s Short part of July and the first three days in August. These divisions will provide cours- es of instruction in all phases of ag- riculture and the allied sciences, in automobiles and tractors, manual training, cotton classing, veterinary medicine and surgery, rural sanita- tion, rural economics, and rural so- cial science for the benefit of teach- ers, rural ministers, county and lo- cal officers, farm boys, farm women, rural merchants and others who may be interested in any phase of agri- culture or rural development. Registration for the College divi- sion, School of Cotton Classing and Short Course for Electric Metermen will be June 9. The Short Course for Graduate Veterinanrians will be- gin on July 7. The first term of the College division and the School of Cotton Classing will end simultane- ously on July 19, and the second term of the College division will be- gin two days later. The Eight Weeks Course in Automobiles and Tractors is divided into eight parts of one week each so that entrance may be effected to suit the student. The Short Course for Graduate Veterina- rians and Short Course for Electri-: metermen each continues only for one week. —— eee GONGRATULATIONS GALVESTON. The Galveston Aggies constitute the third A. & M. Club to decide to hold weekly meetings. They have held three so far and they have been good ones. Incidentally the A. & M. fever in Galveston is spreading. There are -a few towns in Texas that are larger and have more A. & M. men than does Galveston who are not meeting weekly, some of them are not meeting regularly at all. They would do well to watch the growth of the Galveston club. You are going to eat down town some- where every day of the week, except Sunday, why not pick one day to meet with your old A. & M. friends. Yes—Galveston has Kiwanis, Ro- tary, Lions, and the other luncheon clubs, too, and the Galveston boys have just as many calls as you have. Continuity is a wonderful force in the growth of attendance at meet- ings and functions. Try it out and watch the interest grow in A. & M. not only in your Aggie group but throughout your high school and elsewhere. AH -- FOUNDRYMEN OF TEXAS WILL HOLD MEETING AT COLLEGE IN JUNE The Texas Foundrymen’s Associa- tion will hold their quarterly meeting at the College in June, accepting the invitation of Professor E. J. Fermier extended them at their Dallas meet- ing held the first of the week. Professor Fermier attended the meeting at Dallas and enjoyed sev- eral novel entertainment features given to the visiting foundrymen by the steel interests of Dallas. His in- vitation to the foundrymen to visit the institution at their next meeting and inspect the methods of instruc- tion and equipment of the Depart- ment of Mechanical Engineering was quickly and heartily accepted. PROFESSOR H. E. SMITH DIES IN CALIFORNIA Announcement of the death of Professor H. E. Smith, for many years profesor of steam engineering in the Mechanical Engineering De- partment of the College, has been received by Prof. E. J. Fermier, head of that department. Prof. Smith died at his home at Redlands, Califor- nia, on Feb. 22. He resigned his position at the College two years ago on account of ill health, and moved to California, where it was hoped that he would be restored to his full strength. His son, Ralph, was a stu- dent of the College until this fall. Prof. Smith was at the College for a number of years. At one time he had charge of the steam plant in connection with his teaching duties. COVER ALL FIELDS Summer sourse which will be held the latter 7 DIS Wd. “No game—wet field,” will not be heard at the football grounds at Kyle Field. Work of tile draining the foot- ball playing field has just been com- pleted by the San Antonio Sewer Pipe Works. Of course no football game ever was cancelled because of wet grounds, but a flying tackle ofttimes has look- ed like a swan dive following a heavy rain at College Station. To offset this condition the Athletic Council de- cided to tile drain the field in order that it will be free from water imme- diately following a heavy downpour. AGGIE FOOTBALL FIELD NOW | EQUIPPED WITH TILE DRAINAGE el ‘probably be able to announce it in | ‘the next issue of the Aggie. ’ Showing Work of Tile Draining Kyle Field Football Gridiron. "The plans for the drainage were worked out by the Agricultural engi- neering department and the contract let to the San Antonio firm. The work has been completed. The field has been plowed deep in order to break up that packed dirt which had brought about a lack of “porousness” in the soil which would permit good growth by grass. The field has been covered with fertilizer and will be levelled and rolled. By fall there should be a good sod and the Aggie playing field should become one of the best in the South. NEWS OF THE COUNTY CLUBS. PORT ARTHUR A. & M. CLUB. (By V. D. MERCER) B. B. Cochran, “Rub” ’22, of Hous- ton was in Port Arthur on business last week. * ck ok C. O. Smith, a Houstonite was a Port Arthur visitor during the month of March. * kk 3k F. W. Hanna “Spot” has accepted a position with the Texas Company, and has joined the ranks of the Port Arthur Ex-es. Whe are glad to have you ‘““‘Spot.” Ho Ak L. A. Leverett, ’22, has been in the employ of the Texas Co. for the last eight months. We see very little of L. A. as he is found in the company of the fair sex the large per cent of his time. * kk ~ L. R. Saunders, Fish 20, is con- nected with the First National Bank of this city. * ck Xk Field Reynaud, with the Asphalt Sales Division of the Texas Com- pany, headquarters in Houston was in Port Arthur last week.

Frank Chamberlain, who has been serving in the capacity of office man- ager for Smith Bros. in Port Arthur for the past year, has moved his of- fice to Beaumont. Smith Bros. have just recently closed a contract for the paving of several miles of high- way leading out of Beaumont. Good luck Frank, and hurry back. * % kx We have just had the pleasure of listening to the Texas U. band which rendered a program here last evening under the auspices of the American Legion.

(By Bill Cook) Seventy odd ex-Aggies answered roll call at the weekly luncheon of the Houston A. and M. Club, Friday, March 21. The program was headed by P. L. Tilson, of the Houston Laboratories who proved beyond a doubt that the older they grow the peppier they get. It was one of th? best of the many good meetings the Houston Club has had since its re- juvenation. A. F. Dickerson of Schenectedy, N. Y., was a guest of the occasion and told of the organization of an A. and M. Club in New York State. Dickerson stated that in his wide travels over the country he met A. and M. men in almost every town and they all held positions of responsibil- ity and were doing well. There was quite a little debate among the bunch as to what form of entertainment we should have on April 21st. Some of the fellows whose shoe sizes fall below number eleven wanted a dance, but the old country boys who went barefooted too long to ever acquire the art of successfully maneuvering a pair of oversized pedal appendages over a waxed floor without bringing disaster to less than half a dozen pretty pumps, held out for a country pic- nic. The picnic fellows won as there are more country boys in this town than you can shake a stick at, but they are not selfish. We are going to have the picnic and the dance combined. The Houston A. and M Mothers’ Club has been invited to be our guests and Houston school grad- uvates will also be invited. Ii any of you fellows from other parts happen to be in the Bayou City on that day, April 21st, look up or call up Dr. Kyle, Tom Blake, Ralph i Soape, Graham Hall at the Bristol ‘Hotel, or any other A. and M. man in Houston and tell him that you ‘want to go to the picnic and you will be cared for. The place hasn’t been | definitely decided upon, but we will MHI INE OF Radi ty NOTES FROM SAN ANTONIO CLUB. (By Bill Orth) San Anton'o Aggies will maeat April 21st, and if you are in town for the Fiesta and Battle of Flowers call on George Knox or Runt Hanson or anybody you know for the de- tails, you will be cordially welcomed. The committee (Runt) is trying -o decide whether to have a stag affair, or to let the ladies in. And if it's a stag party the question is to make it a barbecue or just an old time “keg-rolling.” Did all of you get the Aggie calen- dar? It is worth using and a con- stant reminder of the activities of the school and our Association—and note payments. The roster of the Association members will be equally as welcome and valuable. Let’s help Ike in making it complete and up-to- date. Remember that ‘here were five S. A. Aggies on the football squad? Well there are four more of ’em playing baseball now, Captain Jack Forgason, his brother, Big Jim, Puck- ett and Jack Williams. Speaking of baseball, Tim Griesen- beck catches, “Lefty” Matthews pitches and Pat Dwyer plays first on the champion semi-pro club of these parts, same being the Alamo-Peck In- dians. They will take on the Dallas Victory-Wilsons for a “serious” later in the season. Seven students from the Alamo City were listed as “Distinguished” for the past term; can any of your North Texas lads touch ours on scholarship and athletics? Bob Orth writes that the New York bunch enjoyed a fine meeting with Dr: Bizzell and Charlie Friley just before they embarked for their Eu- ropean trip. Among those present were Fred Bechert and William Rus- sell Forsyth (Cop 2nd) and others that we want back in Texas before they become full-fledged Yankees Bob recently made a trip up into New Hampshire where he got his fill Snow. lle A We wished for Ike Ashburn and Parson Church at our A. and M. luncheon at Frio City, March 14th. When I say we, I have reference to Andy Rollins, Nagle, Witt and Rol- lins, Houston; Otto Tumlinson, coun- ty agent, Frio county; N. H. Hunt, secretary Chamber of Commerce, Pearsall; E. R. Alexander, Vocation- al Educational Dept. A. and M. Col- lege; R. H. Brison, Vocational Agri- cultural teacher, Pearsall; Bill Cook, I.-G. N. railroad. We had for our guests of honor L. F. Merle, Secre- tary Chamber of Commerce, Dilley and Mr. Cory, farmer at Dilley. It wasn’t our intention to hold a luncheon but dinner time found us in this village, which was the county seat of Frio county some forty years ago, and you know what dinner time means to an Aggie. The menu didn’t have much variety and it did not re- of New England scenery, beans and | % quire a French interpreter to read it. It consisted of sardines a la can anl U-Need-a Biscuit en carton. Dinner was served in front of the old stone ‘court house which is now used as a store. Andy Roll'ns and Otto Tumlinson were the princ'pal speakers of the occasion and strange to say their talks all ran to subjects on eating. Andy told of the time when the br'ck ice cream disappeared from the rear porch of the president’s house when President David F. Houston was en- tertaining the bachelor Profs., and how, for some reason, the night watchman chased him over the larger part of the campus until he lost him in the labyrinth of hallways in old Foster Hall. Otto said he used to amuse him- self every morning before breakfast by watching Prof. Garner check up on his fine Plymouth Rock hens and subsequently try to find the missing hen. Otto did not say why it was that he was always on the lookout for this daily checking up. Otto also told of the successful ruse worked upon Fritz Kazmeier’s night watch- man at the newly established college poultry farm and thus secured the pedigreed eggs for scrambling with R. E. Turnage’s homemade sausage. But I decline to testify further for fear of self incrimination. ————————— D. C. MARSHALL HAS PAINFUL ACCIDENT Word has been received by J. T. McNew, of the Civil Engineering De- partment, from his father at Ranger, of the serious injury sustained by D. 0. Marshall, special architectural stu- dent here, for three years ending in ’23, who has been teaching manual training and serving as assistant coach at Ranger this year. Thurs- day, March 13, Marshall was con- ducting his class in manual training, when he struck his right hand against a big saw, used for instruction pur- poses there. His fingers and half of his thumb were cut off by the saw. At last accounts he was doing nicely. ——— pee tel ees. COMMERCIAL FEEDING STUFFS.
