Managers who have not complied with the regulations of immediate action will get on the line and do so at once. Co-operation with the intta-mural officials has been below par—a show of a little life from all concerned will help the pre gram progress more efficiently and more rapidly. The latest addition to the already large number of intra-mural sports will be the game of speedball. This game is meeting with much approval wherever it is being played. Speed ball is sure to be met with much acclaim at A. M. It is an assortment of Aggielaftds most lauded sports, being a combination of football, base ball, and soccer. Play in the new game will start as soon as football is over. It was announced in last weeks issue that the play in tennis had been completed but due to a lack of infor mation the winner was not announ ced.

It is only a short while until sev eral hundred of our seniors finish School and go out into the state as citizens. The old idea of the college graduate being the brains of the com munity is of course obsolete, never theless the man with the higher edu cation has certain duties to perform in the line of doing his duty as a cit izen. If he is not going to lead the way, he should at least be prepared to follow intelligently. In this connec tion, we picked up a circular sent out by the Department of Education at Austin. This circular is addressed to the teachers of the state and asks them to help put the situation up to the high school pupils of Texas. We wonder how many seniors at A. and M. can answer all or even a respec table part of the following questions: (1) Who are subject to payment of poll taxes ? (2) The state poll tax is one dol lar and fifty cents. What use is made of this money? (3) The county poll tax, when lev ied, is twenty-five cents. For what is this money used? (4) A great many people think they pay their poll tax in order to get the privilege of voting; this is not true. Why is a poll tax levied? (5) What relation is there between the right of suffrage and the pay ment of poll tax? (6) Is a person a good citizen who refuses to qualify for voting ? (7) Why should each person vote? (8) Approximately how many per sons in Texas are subject to poll tax? (9) Explain the relation between tax paying and patriotism? YODLE LOVE.

M. C. A boys’ club which is a miniature League of Nations. The comparison holds, for though there is an observer-advisor in the person of J. W. Weir, Y. M. C. A. secretary, the club contains not one American member. Among the members are a Russian, Hungarian, a German, Ukranian, Lithuanian, Austrian, Italian, Czech, Chinese, two Poles, and one Irish and one Scotch boy. According to Dezso Rozsa, the youthful Hungarian presi dent, the boys are interested in “world brotherhood”—the creation of “friendly relations between all nationalities.” —Exchange.

Resists Corrosion r S 'HIS picture, taken in the salt marshes near JL Kearny, N. J., shows two lines of 30-inch Cast Iron Pipe replacing pipe made of other material. The alternate exposure to the action of salt water and air is a severe test. While the pipe shown in the picture is subjected to unusual corrosive influences, all underground pipe must be able to withstand corrosion to a greater or less degree. Cast Iron Pipe has this quality. It does not depend on its coating to resist rust; the material itself is rust-resisting. The first Cast Iron Pipe ever laid is in service today at Versailles, France, after two hundred and sixty years’ service.
