Telephones— (Continued from page 1) the contemplated improvements, the costs thereof, and the service thereunder, should be an actuality before the application for the rate increase is made. 5. However, if the company de sires to present its application for an increase in rates in its present setup, then the machinery for the hearing is this: (a) The commission set down a day for the hearing. (b) The company desiring the hearing, will have the burden of presenting facts, which under the contract, the Charter and the Law, will warrant the Commission in raising the rates. (c) In doing this the Commis sion will act as a finding board, without the restriction of a court of law, but will be governed by the law applicable to such cases and will make its findings and con clusions on the evidence introduc ed. (d) At the hearing, it would be lawful and proper for the com pany to make an appraisal of its property. (e) After the City Commission fixed the rates the company would have the right of contesting same in the District Court but the rates fixed by the Commission would stand until changed by the courts. Rufus Peeples of Tehuacana, ex- Aggie of ’27, made the placings in the championship class of the con test. Other judges in the show in cluded Roy Snyder of the Exten sion Service, horses; Jack Turner of Silver Creek Farms, cattle; M. G. Perkins of Caldwell, swine; and J. P. Heath of Argyle, sheep. All placings made by the judges were upon the grooming which the animal was shown to have received, and the way the exhibitor handled his animal while in the arena, not upon the individual merits of the animal itself. Student officials of the show in cluded James Grote, general super intendent; Carl Martin, chairman of the program committee; and Bill Hofmann, O. D. Propps, J. K. Barton and G. R. Pepper, superin tendents of the various classes. General Collins— (Continued from page 1) war. General Collins further stressed the point by saying: “In this day and age it is largely a question of material rather than man power in warfare.” He then pointed out that the current large-scale maneuvers are a chief factor in national defense, which represents another change from previous tactics. “These Dances— (Continued from page 1) the decorations. On display around the floor will be various surveyors transits and other in struments. Bill Cloud, club presi dent, announced that helping him with the dance arrangements are F. W. Perrin, W. A. Hamilton, Joe Moseley, Fred Sandlin, Jack West, and H. B. Smith. Saturday night the Fourth An nual Sophomore Ball will be held in the main part of Sbisa Hall. Williard Clark, class president, states that the Aggieland Orches tra is to play for the dance from 9 till 12.

Bell, Roland Bing, David Shel ton, and Jack Forman. Tickets to the ball may be secured from any of the sophomore representa tives. SOPHOMORES LOOK YOUR BEST FOR THOSE “T.S.C.W.

The general then finished his short but interesting address by extending high praise to the Unit ed States Army as it is constituted today. “It is my sincere hope— like every other American—that this nation will never again be plunged into war; but, if ever it is, I feel certain that our nation will remain the only nation never to lose a war,” he concluded. Throughout his address he was in high praise of the work of the R. O. T. C. as constituted at Texas A. & M., and of the R. O. A. Previous to the introduction of General Collins as principal speak er, toastmaster Lieutenant-Colonel O. E. Beasley introduced Luke Patranella of the American Legion; Colonel George F.

IN THIS ACTION SHOT he’s come in like a bullet from an express rifle... AGAIN a furious flash of speed...a split-second of stick magic... he takes a pass. But the opposition’s defense stops him—this time. and the puck shoots home for the goal that wins the match. His hockey’s fast and hot! BUT HE SMOKES A SLOW- BURNING CIGARETTE FOR MORE MILDNESS, COOLNESS, AND FLAVOR 'Q PEED’S fine in hockey but not in cigarettes”—Roy, O how right you are! Research men may use fancier language—but they say exactly the same thing about cigarettes. Scientists know that nothing destroys a cigarette’s delicate elements of fragrance and flavor so merci lessly as—excess heat. And cigarettes that burn fast also burn hot. Your own taste tells you that. Slow-burning cigarettes don’t burn away these precious natural elements of flavor and fragrance. They’re milder, mellower, and —naturally—cooler! And the slowest-burning cigarette of the 16 larg est-selling brands tested was Camel! They burned 25% slower than the average of the 15 other of the largest-selling brands tested. (See panel below, right.) So...why not enjoy Camel’s extra mildness, cool ness, fragrance, and flavor? ... And extra smoking equal to 5 extra smokes per pack. When it’s easy-chair time after that rough-and- tumble melee known as a hockey match, you’ll find Roy Conacher of the Bruins enjoying a milder, cooler, more fragrant, and flavorful cigarette.. .Camels, of course. FOR MILDNESS, COOLNESS, AND FLAVOR— SLOW-BURNING COSTLIER TOBACCOS In recent laboratory tests, CAMELS burned 25% slower than the average of the 15 other of the largest-selling brands tested — slower than any of them. That means, on the average, a smoking plus equal to 5 EXTRA SMOKES PER PACK! Copyright. 1940. R. J. Reynold] Tobieco Comptny, Winston-Salem. North Carolina
