She tells us that a certain Lieutenant and a certain Captain in the Infantry are having quite a round over one of those “Full Moons” over in Bryan. The contest has been going on for several weeks, but now is seems to be getting rather serious. We know that the lady in the case is enjoying it and we hope that no one “flunks” on account of the little contest. Dame Said she did not know how it would come out for she was no predictor and no fortune teller, but she hopes for the best. Dame tells us that five of our prom inent seniors have made an interest ing discovery at the new Extension building and that things are getting interesting. The trouble is that all made the discovery about the same time and no one got in on the “ground floor.” Dame says that she is afraid that someone is going to get left out for five dates a week are just too many according to this young Miss, Dame said she could not tell us much, but if we would ask one of our big staff captains we might do some good. The “Old Lady” would not tell us much about the Rodeo that is to be staged soon said that she was saving that for a later date, but she did rumor a dance in Bryan after the Rodeo which promises to be good.

Love Are Dumb. He asked her on the back porch, On a moonlit starry night, Alas, he was excited, And did not get it right: “You cannot live without I And each other must us have we. So are you tell I will me If us me marry won’t she?” The poor girl was dumfounded, And knew not what to say, But opened up her mouth And poured forth words this way. “Oh dear boy, how me loves us And me too love I we, But you we I are never Is able can us marry. “Me are a husband has got, Him is I much do loves, Alas, I is not are you have 1, Nor can it ever was.” Worth looking into TT’S the most interesting study in the world. X What is? Why you, yourself. Put yourself under the microscope. Examine yourself most searchingly to find out just what kind of work you have a natural aptitude for. Don't leave your career to chance. Don’t be satisfied with any nonchalant observation of what may seem to be your best field. Upperclassmen who have applied this careful self-study will tell you it helped them pick out the “major” which fell in most closely with their natural fitness. The result—greater in terest and greater profit through their whole college course. Graduates will tell you that the man who turns the microscope on himself is happiest in his choice of a life-work. It comes down to this—some patient anal) r sis now may be the means of putting you on the right track for the rest of your life. tm Electric Comma, Since 1869 makers and distributors of electrical equipment Number 42 of a series
