The way to increase a vocabulary
is very like the way to increase your
personal acquaintance. Put yourself
in the way of meeting as many dif
ferent phases of expression as you
can—read widely, talk with clever
people — and whenever you come
across a new word or expression train
yourself so far as possible to under
stand it, just as you would train your
self to classify and remember people
you meet, gentle and vulgar, good,
bad or indifferent.—Barrett Wendell.

Investig-ate Secret
Society At Okla. U.
NORMAN. Okla.—Once more the
authorities of the University of Okla
homa are investigating into the ac
tivities of a secret order on the cam
pus, known since its organization in
1907 as The D D M C.
For years the purpose of the or
ganization seemed to be that of play
ing harmless campus pranks, but in
1918 the society set out to prevent
cheating in examinations. A few years
later when the society, masked, was
attempting to discipline a student, he
shot two of its members. University
authorities immediately outlawed the
order.
But the secret order seems to
have flourished in spite of the author
ities.
In 1925 Lee Thompson, leader
of the secret order, and now the son-
in-law of President W. B. Bizzell, was
beaten up by a student being discip
lined. Thompson was arrested and con
victed of breaking the state anti-mask
law, and was sentenced to pay a fine
of $500 and to a term in jail. His
fine later was reduced to $50 and his
prison sentence suspended by Gov.
Trapp.
Recently a sophomore, Sam Kaplan,
was flogged by the organization and
the university is stirred up once more.

Montgomery Ward
CLEVELAND, O.—There is no rea
son for believing that man is the last
word in evolution, Julian Huxley, Eng
lish scientist, said here in a recent
address.
“There is no reason for not think
ing,” he said, “that something may
evolve out of man as far superior
to man as man is superior to gold
fish.”
A photo of the human embryo which
Huxley used showed a very marked
tail curling down its back.
“Even William Jennings Bryan
probably had a tail when he was that
age,” Huxley said.
Huxley is a son of the famous
Thomas Huxley, and brother of Al-
dous Huxley.
The scientist said that the earth has
now existed about half its alloted ex-
istance, or namely 2,000,000,000 years.
Showing what has happened to the
human race in a century, he challeng
ed his audience to judge what might
happen in two billion years more.
Girls Sug-g-est Riots
As Publicity Stunts
NEW YORK—That an occasional
riot in the public would be a good
manner of attracting money to the
college is the belief of the Bulletin,
undergraduate publication of Barnard
College for Women here.
“If we, by bursting the bonds of
convention, can gain a little profitable
publicity,” the Bulletin said, “let us
imitate the noble example our broth
ers have set for us ... . Let us be
Amazons, oh my sisters! Let us riot
—in the public eye.”
Albert S. Tousley, of St. Paul, Minn,
traveling secretary of Delta Chi, now
retiring, declares that so long as alum
ni drink, fraternity men will drink
and make no bones about it.
Sport experts are declaring that
this year’s football team at the Uni
versity of Utah is the best ever put
in the field by a Rocky Mountain
Conference team. The team is seek
ing intersectional games for next
year.
You can become as well educated
as you like in America without spend
ing a cent.—Mclnnes.
We must always beware of simply
substituting a new and possibly worse
tyrrany for an, old, as has so often
happened in the sad annals of human
progress.—Howard Madison Parshley.
The teacher is justified by his schol-
ars.—Christopher Morley.

Moody both turned in excellent games.
The final score was 47-35.
Staging a strong finish, the Texas
Aggie cagers came from behind to
win the first game played with the San
Marcos Teachers on the academy floor
23-20. It was the first defeat of the
season for the Bobcats. In the first
period the San Marcos boys held an
advantage over "the Aggies, with the
score being 14-9 at the half. The Ma
roon and White jerseyed team came
back after the half to even up the
score and went into the lead in the fi
nal minutes of play. Beau Bell was
outstanding with his defensive work.
Veltman led the Aggie scoring, gath
ering 8 points, and followed by Bell
with 7 points. The score at the end
was 23-20.
The second game, held Saturday
night, was a more decided A & M
victory, although the Bobcats were
ahead at the half with a 17-16 score.
As in the preceding game, the Ag
gies came back strong to roll up a
38-25 victory. In practically every
game thus far played, the Maroon and
White has waited until the closing
minutes to break loose and run up
the score. In this game Captain Shiro
Hoke led the scoring with. 12 points,
Bell was second with 10. Again, Velt
man was outstanding with his de
fensive playing and goal shooting abil
ity.

Conference Basketball—
(Continued from page 4)
Frogs their greatest chance of all
times.
The Rice Owls are stronger than
last year, and are rated in the con
tender class. The feathered tribe is
in the same position as the Frogs,
having a number of promising soph
omores on the team. Blake Sellers,
sophomore center, showed up well dur
ing the recent Rice invasion of the
Mid-west where they gathered three
out of the four games played. Ray
Hart, forward, is reported to be a goal
shooter with unerring aim.
The Southern Methodist Mustangs
and Baylor University are of rather
unknown quality, both being about
the same strength as last year. Thus
far this season, the Ponies have lost
but three games, and two of them
were to the powerful Oklahoma quin
tet.
The Owls meet the Mustangs in Dal
las Friday night, and the T C U Horn
ed Frogs the next night in Dallas for
the only other conference games
scheduled.
In all the Southland there is no
state more favored by nature as a
harbor for wild game than Mississippi,

ciation reports.
