THAT OLD BROTHER
AGGIE OF YOURS
See that fellow standing there—
Black or brown or yellow hair
Short and fat or tall and thin
You didn’t know that you were kin,
But—he’s your Brother Aggie!
Comes from X— or Y— or maybe
fate
Sent him in from out of state,
But be it North, South, East or West
You might as well right now confess
That—he’s your Brother Aggie!
He borrows money that he don’t pay
back
And tells you lies he claims are a
fact
He wears your, clothes and dates your
gal
And sure don’t act like he was your
pal,
Bue—he’s your Brother Aggie!
You stand beside the dusty road
He comes along in a brand new Ford
You yell at him, “Hey, gimme a ride”
And he looks at you as if you’d lied,
But—he’s your Brother Aggie!
And at mess he doesn’t care
If all you get is the bill-of-fax-e
He stuffs and stuffs and gives no
heed
To youi - few wants or simple need,
But—he’s your Brother Aggie!
In class he acts a regular bum
Tries his best to make you look dumb
Spends the time from bell to bell
Confirming things the instructors
tell,
But—he’s your Brother Aggie!
When he’s alone he’ll always speak
But he’s more than apt to turn a
cheek
If by chance you happen to meet
Him walking down a crowded street,
But—he’s your Brother Aggie!
And at the show he doesn’t care
If your Mother or Sister’s there
But yells his sentiments right out
loud
Just a stranger in the crowd,
But—he’s your Brother Aggie!
And sometimes in a public place
He casts on you his own disgrace
For since you wear the u’form too
Folks all turn and look at you,
’Cause—he’s your Brother Aggie!

Scientists Explore
Mysterious Cave
Bones Found Believed to Belong to
Age of 25,000 Years Ago.
Las Vegas, Nev.—Scientists are
exploring near here a cave believed
to have been inhabited by Indians
about 1500 B. C.
Raymond Harris, of the South
west Museum of this city, heads the
party which is delving into the mys
teries of the cave which he found
last winter, and from which he took
skeletons which gave indications of
belonging to a people skilled in the 1
making of baskets, but who had not
developed the art of poetry.
The cave also contains bones which
seem to Harris to belong to the age
of 25,000 years ago when saber tooth
tigers and imperial elephants domi
nated this land.
Finding of human and animal re
mains of the Pleistocene period de
cided the museum to make a more
extensive search of the cave near
here.
The staff will remain in the field
through March, and the remainder
of the year will be spent in study
ing and classifying relics found.

Don’t be always taking your work or love
affairs too seriously. It will only end by
proving you know less and less of more
and more.
The neatest trick you can pull is to slip
into the nearest soda fountain or refresh
ment stand — around the corner from
anywhere — and invite your soul to the
pause that refreshes. There and then,
seen through a rose-colored glass of deli
cious, ice-cold Coca-Cola, all things fall
into true perspective and you become a
man amongst men once more.
