IDLE RUMORS
As the period of registration for
the second term draws near, let us
take this opportunity to warn you
against the dreadful thing which
happened to one William Town-
semi “A" Troop, Caralry. Last
year, Billy took a History course
and being a studious lad, made B
*C*’ in the course. This year Town
send took what he thought was
another History course and it was
n't until last week, the last week of
the course, that he discovered it
was the same course that he had
passed the previous year. A town-
send one apologies, William, but
we mast have copy.
And let us warn you freshmen
and sophomores who are taking
English courses to take full advan
tage of your opportunity and en
hance your vocabularies to the full
est extent. “Red” Spencer, “A”
Company Engineers, will back us
up in that, according to latest rs/
P< rts. Old Dame Rumor has it
that one Sunday not long ago,
“Red** was dating tn that Mecca of
pleasure-bound Aggies, Houston,
when the S. T. T. (sweet young
thing to you, Osoar) asked the
auburn haired atrocity if he had
any ^>iritum frumenti and in
the coarse of several inoculations
she turned her (now) shhung eyes
toward “Red” and said, “Don't you

to acoaiesce when she has had a

New Body Building
Tonic Is Revealed.
. By Fishing Bureau
Washington—(IP)—If yon are
trying to put on weight it prob
ably will not be long before you
will be taking a seaweed toaic as
a stimulant to your appetite.
The new tonic has been develop
ed by the United States Bureau
of Fisheries, which has discovered
that when fed to rats the dried
seaweed gave the animals more
sest for food, with the result that
the rats given the tonic grew in
weight more rapidly than those not
given the tonic.
The Bureau does not report whe
ther the new tonic tastes any bet
ter than cod liver oil, thus far the
most popular (or unpopular from
a taste standpoint) of body-bmld-
ing. appetite-giving tonics.

We found out, first, that there was a
kind of tobacco that grew in the Blue
Grass section of Kentucky called White
Burley, and that there was a certain kind
of this tobacco which was between the
tobacco used for cigarettflflj and the to
bacco used for chewing tobacco. It is
this tobacco which is best for pipes.
We found out that Mr. J. N. W ellman, remembering how folks used to f, whittle’ ,
