Houston Mothers Club
Gives Annual Spread
“Don’t get puffed up over what
Prexy has said,” Robert “Bob” Har-
ling, Houston Club president, told
members of that organization after
A & M President T. O. Walton had
finished praising them to their moth
ers at the annual Houston Mothers
club banquet for the boys Sunday in
the mess hall banquet room.
“Too late,” chirped someone, “the
feed already has done that.”
That, in brief, is the story of the
Houston “feed.” Fried chicken and
more fried chicken, topped off ;ith
home made cake and ice cream, com
pletes the tale.
More than 50 members and some
30 fathers came up from Houston for
the entertainment. Some arrived Sat
urday, but the great majority of them
drove up Sunday morning and stay
ed until late Sunday evening. Officers
of the Houston Mothers club present
at the function included Mrs. E. C.
Murray, president; Mrs. B. E. Smith,
vice-president; Mrs. Hugo Zapp, sec
retary; and Mrs. Fred A. Earhart,
treasurer.
After prayers for rain had been of
fered in Southwest African churches,
a 48-hour downpour raged in the dis
trict, causing damage estimated in the
thousands of dolars.
Modern science is very liable to su
perstition and tends to breed supersti
tion in its devotees.—Prof. John Mac-
Murray.
Annual Beaux-Arts Hop
Very Colorful Affair
Dazzling evening dresses dazzled not
Friday night in the mess hall annex,
for beautiful feminine attire was com
pletely overshadowed by masculine
garments in the form of smocks, Rus
sian pajama coats and weird neck
ties when the architects held their an
nual Beaux-Arts ball. Taking advan
tage of an opportunity to abandon
olive drab for wear at official corps
dances, the cadets attending came ar
rayed in their most brilliant plumage.
The annex was attractively decorat
ed to portray a roof garden scene.
The orchestra platform was attrac
tively painted in a modernistic design
in pastel colors. On each side of it
was a tall, black and white, lighted
column. A statue of Hebe, goddess of
youth, offset the platform at the other
end of the hall. Low side walls, drap
ed with Spanish moss, completed the
decorative scheme. Small tables plac
ed along these walls gave the proper
hotel roof garden touch to the seem.
Russell Ward and his ten piece or
chestra from Fort Worth furnished
the inspiration for the dancing. Many
visitors, including several old architec
tural students of the school, were on
the campus over the week-end to at
tend this dance and the corps dance
Saturday night.
The architectural decorations were
left intact over Saturday for use at
the corps dance, the Aggieland orches
tra playing for this last affair.
A cultured mind not only appraises
judiciously, but also delights in things
true, just, lovely and honorable.—H

of Fine Arts.” The Paris Prize is one
of the most coveted architectural
awards to which American students of
architecture are eligible. The Paris
Prize is awarded every year by the
Society of Beaux-Arts Architects and
it carries an annual of approximately
$1,500 for study abroad. Besides the
five winning designs, the exhibition
includes fourteen other designs sub
mitted in the second preliminary of
the competition. The library is open
to visitors daily from 8 to 5 through

Says Students Should
Be Allowed To Drink
President Ernest M. Hopkins of
Dartmouth, in a recent addz'ess, had
no objection to student drinking off
campus. Dr. Hopkins said, “There
is no reason why students should not
be permitted to indulge in an occa
sional highball when off the campus.
I do not think that fraternity homes
should be raided for liquor when coun
try clubs are not. It has been my ex
perience that a drink can be procured
in most any country club, and there
should be no discrimination by the
authorities.”
annual competition. While the mention
award received by Stripling does not
admit him to the second preliminary,
Ernest Langford, head of the depart
ment fo architecture, considered it a
significant mark of merit.

SANKEY PARK
BOLTS
8 times as strong under super
heat as "before the war"
Trace the evolution of the bolt since 1913
and you trace the amazing post war advance of
power and industrial processes . . . and the
Crane contribution to help make it possible.
In carefree days “before the war,” a steel
bolt was a steel bolt. It was made of any
easily obtained steel that forged easily and
took threads well. Industry moved forward
. . . stronger bolts were.asked for. Ordinary
steels were improved to tensile strength of
45.000 pounds. Not enough. A bolt with
forged-on head and tensile strength of
50.000 pounds was developed. Still not
enough. Cold rolled steel bolts with tensile
strength of 80,000 pounds were offered.
They had a tendency to snap.
To fully meet the demands of modern high
pressure and temperature technology. Crane
Co. brought out for its cast and forged steel
materials their Triplex steel stud bolts, of
chrome nickel steel with tensile strength of
125.000 pounds. The limit is not yet. Even
now. Crane Co. can supply bolts for valve
bonnets and flanges with tensile strength of
140.000 pounds and retaining strength at
well past xooo° F.
Byexhaustive laboratory investigations, long
carefully charted creep tests, detailed study
of service conditions. Crane metallurgists
have helped this development. With the
same scientific methods they have as strik
ingly improved bodies, bonnets, discs and
seats, stems, packing boxes ... so that Crane
valves and fittings can be supplied for higher
pressures and temperatures than have yet
been commercially projected.
