THE BATTALION 5 S M U-A & M— (Continued from page 1) cadets, their families, and sweet hearts, will be given by the Majestic theatre. What Dallas mothers, ex-students and others are doing to make the stay of the -cadet corps in Dallas pleasant is clearly told in the follow ing letter to Mrs. F. S. Buford, presi dent of the Dallas A & M Mothers’ Club and mother of Fred Buford, Ag gie yell leader. Dear Mrs. Buford: In accordance with your request herewith is an outline of the arrange ments complete for the Aggies: “WELCOME” Siren on Adolphus arrival of trains and during parade; City Band; Pea cock Band; S M U Band, and Police patrol, will meet the trains and par ticipate in the parade in positions as signed them by the committee. Thirty-six hundred street car tick ets have been sent to the college; one thousand car stickers for automobiles of welcome are now being distributed. One thousand A & M pennant stick ers will be received tomorrow; twen ty-five hundred courtesy cards wel come from the Mayor of Dallas will be forwarded tomorrow. “Reservations” Ten rooms have been reserved at the Adolphus for the official staff, as many rooms as required for band boys and instruments, have been re served; five rooms for A & M Mothers Club. As many additional rooms as needed are available at the Adolphus or Jefferson, which may be used for any of the boys should they get down and out. The S M U officials are co-operating in any way they can and arrangements have been made to take care of the team on arrival, and they will be taken to the Athletic Club and properly cared for. The Midnight Circus will start promptly at twelve o’clock, the full Majestic show with added features. This is to be strickly a private party for the Aggies, their mothers, wives and dates. The entire house belongs to us. Of course, three thousand is the capacity and we must be careful of too many dates. It is planned that the A & M Band will open in the center of the stage, opening number “Star Spangled Banner,” next A & M College song, all participating; the curtain down to give the band the opportunity to clear the stage and resume their places in the audience. The yell leaders, then, to take charge of the stage and they are at liberty to put on anything they see fit. The actual show will require two hours and fifteen minutes; any added fea tures, of course, will take up addi tional time. As far as I can see it at this time, the trains will be held until 3:00 A. M., or later if it is so desired—anything that the boys would like to put on of course will be wel come. In other words, anything goes for one big time. The Majestic management is co-op erating in every conceivable way to make this party a howling success and they have requested, if it is at all possible, to have the band to play one or two numbers in front of the theatre just after the parade. They are asking this in the nature of some retaliation for certain courtesies ex tended with which you are familiar, and I am making this request known to Captain Harry. In lieu of the fact that some parties that have previously been pulled for the benefit of other colleges has ter minated with considerable intoxica tion, rowdyism and much damage to the theatre, the management has requested me to personally take this matter in hand so as to avoid any thing of this nature. Now, I don’t believe that it would be well, or at all appropriate, to have any of our- police officers in the building. In the first place any one under the influence of liquor will not be admitted and to forestall any thing but gentlemanly conduct, I am requesting Captain Harry in a letter today to appoint twenty-five or thir ty upperclassmen who will report to me at the theater to be placed both up stairs and down stairs in differ ent sections of the theater to maintain order and dispense with any rowdy ism. Rooms have been provided at both the hotels to take care of any of the boys who might get down and out, and it will be the duty of the appointed committee to see that they are sent to these rooms. I have as surance of the Police Department that none of the boys will be taken up and Under moonless skies Ah-h-h! So sad. Look at the poor student (?) lurking among ye posies whilst some fair one keeps him waiting as ye rain beats down. But he’s not so dumb at that. We make slickers, and our trained eyes note that he is wearing a Fish Brand “Varsity.” So we know he’s dry and comfortable from head to foot. Fish Brand Slickers are made in a wide choice of mod els, weights, colors. Smartly cut. Long-wearing. Sold everywhere. Look for the fish on the label. A. J.

WE’RE FOR YOU BOYS BERT SMITH, Prop. WE HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO KILL THAT APPETITE Candy — Groceries — Tobacco THE AGGIELAND GROCERY jugged. They may be taken up if the case demands it but they will be turned over to their buddies to take care of them. The point we are trying to get over is one big time for all without any rough stuff, and we want these boys to feel perfectly at home and at liberty to do anything that they would do in their own home among their mothers and sisters and sweethearts. I neglected to add that the Adolphus Hotel has by special arrangement brought a five thousand dollar orches tra to Dallas for the Idlewild Ball, which I believe, is held on Friday night. This orchestra is being held over for a dance Saturday night. Due to the heavy expense, the Adolphus management is hardly in a position to allow free admission. This is not altogether an Aggie affair. The reg ular charge of admission is $3.00 per couple and as an especial concession, they have offered to admit all Aggies with their dates at $1.00 per person, and they would like for this announce ment to be made to the corps for any who might wish to take advantage of it. I believe this covers arrangements so far as I know up to this time. Very Sincerely, A. J. KUTNER.

Still further effort produced the 3636 wire cable of exactly the same diameter as the 2424! Thus they have met the challenge of limited space in crowded cable ducts and have supplied facilities for constantly greater use of the telephone . . .
