NEFF SETS NEW PISTOL RECORD
J. Neff of Laredo, a junior in me
chanical engineering at A. and M.
made what army officers here declare
is an unusual record in pistol shoot
ing in the course in that branch of mil
itary instruction here recently.
In pistol match shooting over the
regular course at a 4-inch bullseye,
Neff made a score of 296 out of a
possible 300. Thirty shots were fired.
Two clips of five shots each were fir
ed over a distance of twenty-five
yards at the rate of thirty seconds to
the clip, two clips over a distance of
fifteen yards at the rate of eleven
seconds to the clip, and two over a
distance of twenty-five yards at the
rate of fifteen seconds to the clip.
Only four of the thirty shots hit out
side the bulls-eye.
Lieutenant A. E. Michelsen, U. S.
A., is coach of the pistol team this
year, being assisted in the work by
Lieutenant R. D. Powell, U. S. A.
CAMPUS PLAYERS TO
PRESENT “LIGHTNING.”
The Campus Players will present
“Lightning,” a play in prologue and
three acts, Saturday evening, May
28, in the Assembly Hall, at the re
quest of the committee on arrange
ments for the commencement pro
gram. This play was first presented
in New York at the Gaiety Theatre,
August 26, 1918, and had a two-year
run. In 1920 it opened at the Black-
stone Theatre in Chicago, playing to
packed houses for one year. The play
is full of humor, tempered with that
which is never allowed to become op
pressive. It promises two hours of
wholesome entertainment as the in
itial opening of the commencement
program.
A merry young man from Podunk
Went out to Cance while still drunk
But the floor was so slick
( And his tongue was so thick
That his social standing was sunk.
METHUSELAH LOST IN GREAT
FLOOD.
According to a research study by the
Brooklin Inter-church council it has
been discovered that Methuselah was
left in the flood by Noah and met his
death in this manner.
The report refers to Genesis 5:25 to
show that Methuselah was 187 years
old when Noah’s father, Lemech, was
born; and to Genesis 5:28 which says
that Lemech was 182 when Noah was
born. Genesis 7:6 states that Noah
was 600 years of age at the time of
the flood and a total of these figures
gives a result of 969 years. Now ac
cording to Genesis 5:27 all the days
of Methuselah were 969 years and he
died, so according to this Noah must
have left his grandfather out of the
ark and he perished.
Jazzically Speaking.
“To attain happiness,” says a lec
turer, “one must vibrate in tune with
one’s environment.”
According to that, a man with St.
Vitus dance at a jazz concert would
be in perfect bliss.
—Boston Transcript.
Bride: “I don’t think you love me
as you did, Bertie.”
Husband: “What makes you think
so, dear?”
Bride: “For three days now you
haven’t been summoned for breaking
the speed limit on your way home.”
1st Englishman: He made his mon
ey in American Dry Goods.
2nd Ditto: What are American Dry
Goods ?
1st Englishman: American Novels
I guess.
From Yeast to Vest.
“V’y is a pancake like der sun,
Ike?”
Ike—“I dunno. V’y?”
“Because it rises in der yeast and
sets behind der vest!”
He: “I do hope you will pardon my
dancing on your feet—I’m a little out
of practice.”
She: “I don’t mind your dancing-
on them, it’s the continual jumping
off and on that aggravates me.”
How’s This?
To settle the argument we propose:
Gentlemen prefer blondes because
blondes know what gentlemen prefer.

Minister—Would you care to join
us in the new missionary movement?
Flapper Fanny—I’m crazy to try
it. Is it anything like the Black Bot
tom ?
TEXAS PRODUCTS IN DEMAND
ABROAD.
The growing favor of American
goods throughout the world is indi
cated by the many requests for the
purchase of a varied assortment of
farm and factory products received
during the week by Ernest L. Tutt,
Manager of the Southwest District
Office of the U. S. Department of
Commerce in Houston.
The “Wants” of thirty-seven for
eign countries ranging from ambu
lances to carnival specialties and in
cluding stove polish, sewing mach
ines, radio sets, bicycles, imitation
pears, confectionery, hardware, toilet
preparations, canned goods, printing
presses, washing machines, aeroplane
accessories, soap, automobiles, and
motorcycles have just been listed for
the information of firms and indi
viduals engaged in export trade.
As examples of the inquiries, break
fast foods are wanted by Denmark.
Canada is asking for canned fruits
and vegetables. Yellow and white corn
meal is sought by Barbados and Java
is in the market for flour. Flour is
also numbered among the require
ments of Brazil, Egypt, Italy and
Morocco. Italy and Morocco also are
asking for grain and wheat. Germany,
East Africa, Denmark and Belgium
need canned and dried fruit, and Italy
is looking for rice. Leather and leath
er goods are in the request from Den
mark, France, Swweden and Egypt.
Brazil wants to buy gasoline, and lub
ricating oils and greases are demand
ed by Egypt.
Willie (to rich old uncle): “Uncle,
make a noise like a frog.”
Uncle: “Why?”
Willie: “’Cause, when I ask daddy
for anything he says, ‘Wait till your
uncle croaks.’ ”
—LISTENTING—
The mocking! bird had hushed his
praise
Of summer breeze and soft still night;
Had hushed his song of silver moon
Whose rays reflected soft and light.
He cocked his little head and harked:
He heard a clear, sweet, lovely note,
The clearest tones of Silver Taps
Heard on the air, sweet and remote.
The lovely notes rang out upon
The summer, blossom-scented air;
They told of how a boy had died,
(An incident, Alas! not rare).
Again the silver notes rang out,
(The night was' still, the hour was
late),
The bird still harked, and found at
last,
A call he could not imitate.
—By Emilie Fermier.
MYSTIC INDIA.
An epic in free verse.
It fairly reeks with the Orient.
Dear Me, it cannot was, how time she
flew.
Wake up! Wake up! the dawn is here,
The air is charged with atmosphere,
My old man’s also charged with beer,
And listen! Hear! I greatly fear,
Mly clothes are charged, the shoes I
wear,
The hats I smash, the pants I tear,
My socks, with holes at which I
swear,
No buttons on my under—B. V. D.’s
Small wonder is it that I sneeze,
The cold wind whistling ’round my
knees.
Won’t someone pass the whiskey,
please ?
The smell of spring, a pleasant stench,
A nurse is seated on a bench.
Feeding her child a monkey wrench.
Police! This guy has got my goat!
Breathes there a man with soul so
dead
That Listerine won’t cure it?
“Avast! Skipper, A Storm!” cried he.
And the quarter-back kicked the goal.
“Young man, why do I find you
kissing my daughter?”
“I guess sir, it’s because you wear
rubber heels.”
Our conception of the heights of
competition—a traveling salesman and
a sailor rushing the same girl.
Wife: Oh, dear! Did you miss a
step ?
Husband (lying at foot of stairs):
No, by dear, I hit every blessed one
of them!
“Jahnny,” said the professor, “write
a sentence which will have a touch of
reverence, have a mention of royalty,
and be a little risque.”
Johnny thought a minute and then
wrote, “ ‘My God,’ said the Princess,
‘Take your hand off my knee.’ ”
