    THE BATTALION
S
CORPS TO DALLAS.

Streets and will continue up Main
Street to Preston Street.
After the parade is over and the
companies dismissed, the students
will be free to do as they please
until time for the game. The game
will be played at Ownby Stadium at
S. M. U., and all students are re
quested to be out to the stadium long
before the game starts.
Any entertainment that the stu
dents hope to have will have to come
from the initiative of the student,
for there have been no arrangements
made for any entertainment for the
Aggies. The dance which is being
given by the Adolphus Hotel will
attract most of the Aggies, and it
will more or less be the official A.
and M. Dance. They have engaged
two orchestras out of Chicago and
New York for the dance, and every
Aggie that goes to it ought to have
one more good time. The Adolphus
Hotel has offered some rooms for
the Band to clean up in, and this
same Hotel will probably be the
headquarters for the Aggies while
they are in Dallas.
For the return trip, two specials
will leave the Union Depot at 11:40
and 11:50 Saturday night and two at
the same times Sunday night.

Wharton, Texas, was chosen vice-
president. R. L. Herbert, Lufkin, was
elected secretary-treasurer J. D.
Sellers, Mexia, was elected historian
for the class. Sellers is a 'very cap

qualified for the position. H. U.

prominent member of the varsity
foot ball squad, and R. F. Dwyer,
Houston, were chosen to represent
the class on the Student Wellfare

Once upon a time, the famous
fourth Earl of Chesterfeild, Philip
Dormer Stanhope, was walking down
a certain street of a certain town
in England, when he was besieged
by a small boy to buy him (the boy)
a package of sie-arettes. The Earl
promptly did what the little boy
asked him to do. At this time two
policemen walked up. Thav said,
“Earl, you have done the wrong
thing.” And then the Earl was truly
worried at what he had done. He
had probably gone against the wish
of the little boy’s mother, in trying
to satasfy the little boy.
Bill—Please stay, Frances, I have
only one fault.
Frances—You’re a liar.
Bill—Yes, that’s it.
“NAUGHTY MARIETTA” TO
BE OFFERED STUDENTS
WHO MAKE CORPS TRIP
Victor Herbert’s comic opera,
“Naughty Marietta,” which has been
given successfully at many of the
leading colleges and universities over
the United States, will be given at
the Fair Park Stadium in Dallas the
night when all the A. and M. stu
dents are in Dallas. This opera is
really a great masterpiece from the
pen of a genius, and the A. and M.
student who passes up the chance of
seeing this show will really miss
something worthwhile.
The opera has its scenes laid in
New Orleans, and is a very coloi'-
ful story. It must be a good show
to receive the acclaim that it has
been receiving from the different
colleges.
Prof: Can you prove that the
square of the hypotenuse is equal
to the sum of the squares of the
two sides of this triangle ?
Stude: I don’t have to prove it;
I admit it.

An echo that circles
the globe;
Sightseers returning from the Alps never
fail to babble of the marvelous echoes that re
verberate so obligingly from peak to peak.
But no such phenomenon matches a certain
echo that keeps circling this whole mundane
sphere. It is the best-known cigarette slogan
ever coined — the Chesterfield phrase “They
Satisfy.”
Originated to describe a unique coupling of
qualities seemingly opposed—“they’re mild, and
yet they satisfy”—its descriptive accuracy was
instantly perceived. Today it echoes and re
echoes wherever cigarettes are smoked:
“Satisfacen... ilssatisfont.. .THEY SATISFY!”
And rightly enough, for Chesterfields are mild
— and they JDO satisfy . . . and what more can
any cigarette offer?
