The State “Y” convention will he held at College from the 18th to 21st, inclusive, of next month. Numerous men of prominence will address the gathering. ’FRISCO EXPOSITION NOW READY FOR THE PUBLIC. The construction of the Panama-Pa cific International Exposition at ’Fris co is finished, and a review of its progress gives assurance that the cele bration will he unrivaled in its mag nitude, interest and splendor. The largest and most brilliant of the world’s expositions has more than met the exalted standards demanded of it as the greatest aifestation of national achievement in American his tory. Moreover, the exposition is a neutral ground, whereon even the nations at war, upon a wonderful scale, will por- their peaceful attainments in the arts, industries and sciences. The American association of Trav eling Passenger Agents, representing every railroad in the United States and Canada, recently officially de clared of the Exposition, “That in the opinion of this association the Panama Exposition, in plan and execution, in grandeur and conception, and in beauty of detail; in program and per formance, will be commensurate with the great national event which it cel ebrates, creditable to the nations which celebrate and an honor to Cali fornia, the hostess State. “And it is hereby resolved.

At last we have got our “forty cents’ worth.” The new guns are here, and from now until June we will do our best, three times each week, to get accustomed to their merits. They are 1913 models, and are con siderably different from the models made five years earlier. The new ri fles are very short, and we are told that they are lighter than the old ones. The bayonets are long and keen, and from their outside appear ance they look as tho it would require a mechanic to get on to all the combi nation necessary. The most ancient and historic part of the equipment is the new sabers, swords, or whatever they may be class ed, that the senior privates are des tined to wear. They were evidently made for service, and plenty of it, judg ing from the bountiful supply of ma terial that has been put in them. Pos sibly it will be necessary for men like “Runt” Stangle to wear them around their necks. CHRISTMAS ON THE CAMPUS. There were something over one hun dred students that remained on the campus during the Christmas holidays. Those two weekes were past off more pleasantly than some had anticipated. Doubtless some were sick a little be cause they could not go home to see their relatives and those that are (?) to be their relatives, but the campus people soon provided ways to dismiss this feeling. Perhaps the most enthusiastic meet ing was the Christmas tree at the new Y. M. C. A. headquarters. The cam pus ladies decorated the new building very attractively, and the campus people gave the cadets a hearty wel come to attend. An interesting pro gram was rendered, after which Santa Claus remembered every one present. Many other pleasant events happened during the time, among which were the dance in the E. E. building, Prof. Fermier’s moving picture show and DeLong’s inventions in the firecracker line. V. SCOTT PLAYS THE HERO. At 3 o’clock Christmas morning, while making the rounds as night watchman, V. Scott discovered and extinguished a fire in the president’s home. The fire originated in a room over the kitchen from an electric iron setting on an ironing board, the iron having been switched on when there was no current and left there. After some hours the board burned in two and fell to the floor, setting the floor afire. Scott reached Milner Hall about this time, saw the fire, rushed in and put it out in time to save a chiffonier, and, of course, the house. Nine presses for $1. Eleven cents per piece. A. & M.
