Coleman, Texas,
October 15th, 1923.
Dere Rummitt:
It is rumored that a train is com
ing thru here today—please tell
Louie Miller and Dick Wilson—so
will write you so you will get a let
ter from me before Xmas for the
next train is Thanksgiving Day. The
last train that was thru here came
in sideways and killed two people
and three other mules. I don’t think
Marlin Smith has heard of his kin
folks death. Please tell him, will
you?
I am having a great time here,
teaching school—can’t smoke, can’t
go to dances, and only teach physics,
chemistry, algebra, vocational agri
culture—all my spare time I coach
the football team. I know now why
the Lord rested on the seventh day..
I’ll “Swanny” I knew A. and M.
would beat Sewanee. Reminds me
of the Centre game. I guess—well,
they say Sewanee was Jonohed, but
I believe they were “Johnsoned.”
The principal of the school here
asked me to quit parting my hair in
the middle. But I told him if I had
to be an advocate of his Blue Laws
I had to advertise the fact—“the
parting of the ways.”
The wind “blew up” the street
here the other day—you ought to
have seen the horse-fly.
Remember you are a Senior this
year—-so please don’t “get around”
Ethyl—Ethyl Alcohol.
As I said—I am teaching chemis
try. I think I shall ‘dissolve” my
self of my clothes, measure the ‘heat
of combustion’ of a cigar—there is
no one in the room—, ‘filter’ myself
into my pajamas, ‘precipitate’ my
self on the bed, and ‘synthethize’ a
few hours of sleep.
In my next letter I shall try to give
you a good line. Think of this—if
two parts of hydrogen and one part
of oxygen form water what would
chloroform?
Chemically stable,
Your Brother,
Rufe.
P. S.—I know you can’t guess the
answer to the above question. Well,
there are two possibilities. The ans
wer is ‘e(i)ther).
New laurels in new fields—screen-
land’s Cleopatra in a story of sym
pathetic appeal.—Adv.
Announcing Corps Dance.
Social Secretary, H. M. Tatum has
disclosed the enjoyable secret that
on the night of October 27, Sbisa
Hall shall again allow its floors to be
gamboled over by ramping youth to
the dum-dum of the “Aggieland’s”
Jazz.
Which is but to say, that the night
of the day after the football game
between A. and M. and S. M. U.
everyone in requested to “toddle” up
to the door of Sbisa’s, take “one-
step” through, “fox-trot” over and
have their ladies’ cloaks checked,
“tango” out on the floor and “kan
garoo canter” for three and one-
half hours.
It is understood that M. O. GIps
has some new Dallas dances, so, if
you believe in progress don’t forget
to have that date down for the dance.
“Gips” will be there to show ’em.
There will be others of us there like
him, but I would blush to mention
their names—also self-defense!
The windows will be locked. Please
come through the door and meet the
receiving line. Be sure and have
that Dallas girl down—they might
not come to see the game, but for
you and the dance—always.
ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT
BEGINS PREPARATION FOR
THANKSGIVING GAME
Additional Seats To Be Erected On
Kyle Field.
Work will begin the first of next
week on the aditional seats at Kyle
Field for the Thanksgiving game.
Nine carloads of lumber have been
ordered, enough to construct. 9,000
seats, and workmen have been engag
ed to construct them.
The additional seats will be built at
each end of the field in the space at
the end of the new steel bleachers
on the west side of the field. These
new seats also include 1290 box seats.
When completed, the seating capacity
of Kyle Field will be 18,000 and this
is intended to care for the enormous
crowd expected here on Turkey Day
for the Aggie-Longhorn clash.

terpiece of the screen.—Adv.
