Good tobacco
in a pipe
That’s what you want!
"T X THY do you hunt high and low
V V and everywhere, when all the
time here is good tobacco waiting to be
smoked in your pipe? Why not dis
cover Edgeworth and be done with
your hunting?
Light a pipeful of Edgeworth. Roll
on your tongue the full-bodied smoke
that never bites and is always cool.
Taste the Edgeworth flavor—the flavor
that never changes. Learn for yourself
why Edgeworth is the choice of so many
critical smokers all around the world.
You simply must meet Edgeworth
somehow. Buy a can of it, or borrow
some, or let us send you several pipe
fuls, free, just to taste. Use first the
coupon and then restraint until the
postman comes with the Edgeworth.
You’ll bless the day, for good tobacco
in a pipe is what you want.
Edgeworth is a careful
blend of good tobaccos
—selected especially for
pipe-smoking. Its quality
and flavor neverchange.
Buy Edgeworth any
where in two forms—
“Ready Rubbed” and
“Plug Slice”—15c pock
et package to pound hu
midor tin.

OVER THE EXCHANGE STORE
A blending of blue, yellow, and
green jersies on a highly polished
floor, radiating the colors of the
rainbow; uncontrolled masculine de
motions mingled with deep sighs; 1
dozen fair maidens energeticly
striving to put the round, leather
ball through the basket; confusion,
and the rumble of an approving
crowd; the sound of a whistle, blow
ing at irreg-ular intervals; a scuffle,
a fall, a scramble and a long yell as
the ball g’oes through the basket—
such, in brief, was our impression of
the basketball game between the
“Boswell Dairymaids” and r the
“Southern Pacific Queens.”
Expressing it mildly, the game was
unique (for us), altogether charming
and well worth the money. Our only
objection is that it should have been
a double-header—the more, the mer
rier. The Aggies experienced a keen
disappointment (probably) in being
unable to see the Burleson team play
the winner of the Dairymaid-Queen
game. It would have made the night
a complete success for the cadets.
Serene, we fold our hands and wait
for the next game of this kind. Like
the rest of the Aggies, we are fo
them. Now that the ice has been
broken in staging- them, it should
soon become an established custom.
(Not an “old Spanish custom”—just
a new Aggie one.) We are of the
opinion that it will meet with no op
position.
The opposite sex usually are very
kind,, considerate and latentive to
the fine specimens of manhood that
are spending their time and money
at this erstwhile collitch of ours.
Nevertheless, they will always be an
enigma to us. What we least expect
is forever the thing that happens.
For the purpose of illustration, lamp
this:
While collecting data for an E. E.
experiment in the metropolis of Nav-
asota Sunday afternoon, a certain
good Samaritan of the tribe of broth
er Aggies had occasion to walk down
the highway a “fur piece.” A high
ly polished vehicle (the latest a-
chievement of Henry Ford) cometh
by ratehr fastly and slams on its
brakes, stopping quickly. A fair occu
pant sticks her head out of the car
riage. Sez she, “Are you tired of
walking?” Sez he, “Well, I guess.”
Replies she, “Then run awhile.” The
good Samaritan falls, fainting as he
does so.
“There ain’t no justice.” Further
more, children of the house of Jacob,
you need not look for it.

A
Harnessing Niagara Falls
to the washing machine
Cheaper power! Groping after this modern
touchstone to wealth, deluded inventors slaved
over perpetual motion machines . . . informed
inventors evolved the turbine... broad visioned
men harnessed the rush of waters ... engineers
raised pressures and temperatures to produce
more power without corresponding increases
of cost.
While, step by step, this progress has taken
place, the many men who have contributed to
it could not know what far-reaching results it
would have. Now the ultimate boons grow
clear. Water power development becomes a
national policy, steam bids fair to rival water
power for cheapness, economically produced
power brings more plentiful goods, lights houses
and hauls crowds in cities, is carried to rural
sections to lift washday drudgery from farm
women’s shoulders.
Among the many industrial victories that are
behind this revolution, none is more important
than wider knowledge of piping materials and
better materials. One of the highly prized
chapters of our history is the contribution that
Crane research and valve engineering has made
to the general advance. The results of this
research are embodied in a Crane book, Pionee?--
ing in Science. It is a fascinating story of engi
neering development and a valuable reference
work for engineering students. A request will
bring you a copy.
