Mother, that one word which means
more to us than any other that man
is capable of expressing. Remember
that her thoughts are of you con

hear from you, so, send a letter home
and tell her what she really means
to you.

DAY
(Continued from Page 1)
lunch rooms, which will be covered
with tile.
All the accommodations that would
be expected of the more distinctive
hotels of the larger cities will be
found at the local house. Standard
commercial rates will prevail and
every class of room, with or without
bath, will be available. All rooms are
supplied with running water and
guests choosing a room without a pri
vate bath will find a tub and shower
directly across the hall. The build
ing will be steam heated throughout.
There are thirty-seven rooms of
varying sizes. The dining room has a
seating capacity of sixty and the
lunch room will be equipped to serve
twenty-eight. It is interesting to
note in this connection that the con
tract for the equipment of the hotel
was granted to Paul E. Wise of the
Burge Manufacturing Co. of Houston,
who will be remembered by many as
a former student of A. and M.
The hotel will be opened temporar
ily only afid will furnish sleeping ac
commodations alone to its guests of
the tenth and eleventh. Following
this brief period the doors will be
closed and additional work will be car
ried on so that the hotel will be fully
completed in all details in anticipa
tion of its permanent opening to re
ceive commencement visitors.
The cost of the building is estimat
ed as $55,000, and the equipment will
bring the total outlay to $70,000 .

“It’s only ammonia” stammered
the returning passenger.
“Oh, is it?” said the customs-offi

And he has lived to see it
Back in 1885, Thomas A. Edison succeeded in
transmitting electricity at 220 volts for one mile
—an achievement and a promise.
The promise was fulfilled a few months ago,
when electricity at 220,000 volts was transmitted
two hundred and forty miles to supply Los
Angeles with light and power.
Now five billion dollars are invested in electric
power plants. A stupendous figure that testifies
to the alertness of thousands of college-trained
men who have been leaders in the production
and use of electric power.
The electrical era has only dawned. Each year
some new machine or discovery makes it possible
to apply electricity in unexpected ways. ' The
graduate of today will find electricity directly
or indirectly a means for even greater accom
plishments, no matter what his calling in life
may be.
In 1881 Edison shipped to the
Paris Exposition his “Jumbo”
dynamo—eighth wonder of the
world. It could light 1000
lamps. Now there are G-E
generators large enough to sup
ply current for over a million
lamps, each With four times the
candle-power of the lamp of
1881.
The General Electric Company
produces other electrical appa
ratus which makes it possible
to transmit power over great
distances. It has put electricity
in seven-league boots. In its
laboratories, scientists are now
experimenting with voltages
ten times as great as the high
est now in use.

Her eyes were like pools of pale
clam chowder,
Deep and mysteriously lovely,
Her hose was piquantly upturned
like the
Handle of a coffee pot.
Her mouth, red as a fresh-cooked
sausage,
Had that delightful curve to it
So much admired in a pretzel.
Her neck was full and round, deli
cately moulded
Like a sack of flour.
Ah, She was beautiful.
She—My face is my fortune
He—Don’t you mind. The richest
