Annual Fireman’s
Training School
To Be Held July 20
The annual Fireman’s Training
School will be held at Texas A. &
M. College July 20-25, Dr. C. C.
Hedges, head of the chemistry de
partment at the college and di
rector of the training school, has
announced.
Since it was started the school
has attracted firemen from all parts
of Texas with the result that the
improved methods of fire fighting
learned have enabled the various
city fire departments to reduce an
nual fire loss by many millions
of dollars and at the same time
earn their cities a reduction in the
key fire insurance rates.
Last year over 600 firemen at
tended the course and earned the
rate reduction for their cities by
attending sectional instruction in
all phases of fire fighting and then
passing written examination on the
work covered during the five-day
training period.
Outstanding Speakers on fire pre
vention and fire fighting will ad
dress the various classes and the
instructors will be drawn from the
training schools of the various
large Texas cities
Students placed by the Univer
sity of Minnesota employment bu
reau in the last biennium earned a
total of $410,542.99.
Singing Cadets—
(Continued from Page 1)
The special numbers will be a
group of Spanish songs by Gustav
A. Carlsen, Peru; O. J. Erlund,
Houston, Texas; Gabino Fajardo,
Peru; Xavier H. Fernandez, Peru;
and Miguel A. Soto, Puerto Rico.
Other special numbers will be sev
eral songs by an octet composed of
Berney Martin, Gibb Michalk, Rey
nolds Smith, Henry Mass, J. O.
Bartlett, L. C. Salm, G. A. Adams,
and Lloyd Bailey, and also an ac
cordion solo by Pat Patterson of
Dallas.
The club will end the program
with “Away Down South," “God
Bless America,” and “Taps.”
Boots—

ceremonies. This would allow the
seniors the option of three uni
forms for all occasions.
The commandant understood thtt
all seniors were to have either light
gray slacks or boots to be worn
at drills and ceremonies. No senior
would be able to wear O.D. slacks
on formal occasions, and would
therefore be required to purchase at
least one pair of light gray slacks.
Under the uniform situation as
it has been, seniors were not re
quired to purchase any additional
part of their uniform if they did
not desire boots. Under the plan
as understood by the commandant,
a senior would be required to pur
chase at least one pair light gray
slacks for drills and ceremonies.
This added expenditure would work
a hardship on some of the seniors
by requiring the additional pur
chase and is therefore not accept
able.
The added saving of allowing
seniors the optional uniforms by
wearing O.D. serge slacks to drill
and ceremonies would not justify
the resulting confusion which such
a situation would create, the com
mandant stated. The junior class
may therefore decide which of the
two plans as presented above they
desire for next year.
The entire situation concerning
the uniform was presented by the
commandant to a meeting of the
sophomore and junior classes Tues
day afternoon. In the interests of
economy and practicability, the
commandant recommended that
senior boots be eliminated from
the uniform because they are no
longer regulation in the army.
As a result of that meeting, the
two classes met again Thursday to
make their decisions on the uni
form. The junior class voted solid
ly to wear boots in some way with
their uniform next year.
At the meeting the two classes
accepted by a vote of 291 to 511
the second uniform plan as under
stood by the committee and pres
ented to them. Since this plan was
incorrect and impossible, it is
necessary that the junior class
Preference to
Be Given to Seniors
Seniors will be given first pref
erence in selection of students to
speak before their local high
schools, Cadet Colonel W. A. Beck
er announced yesterday. Further
preference will go to students with
the highest scholastic records fol
lowed by those with the best activ
ity records, Becker also disclosed.
These preferences will take ef
fect only in case of more than one
request for the same school.
Students desiring to speak be
fore their high schools are remind
ed that all requests must be in by
noon Monday.
Those selected will be given ex
cused absences for May 2 and 3 or
for May 5 and 6. Students visiting
high schools more than 250 miles
away will be allowed an extra day
for traveling.
The selection of the students is
being handled by the Corps Staff
juniors and the completed re
quest cards from each regiment
should be turned in to them. They
are Tom Gillis, W. M. Pena, War
ren Ringgold, Lee Rice, George
Summerville, Howard Blessington
and Jabus Barker.

er compelling force behind it; it
preaches war and it preaches a
moral. Many newsreel shots of the
astual occurrances of the era 1916-
1920 are included and give it the
atmosphere of the hallowed past.
It is worth ging just for curiosity
as the film that has been so widely
publicized, but it is also well worth
seing, because it didn’t receice such
publicity for nothing.
In a much lighter vein than the
thought-provoking film mentioned
above, “COMRADE X” is a screw-
loose show if there ever was one.
It has Hedy Lamarr as a Russian
communistic street car conductor
with a male name, just so she can
hold the job. Even as a street car
conductor though, she has a face
that would make anyone take
notice. Her figure, which she re
veals this time more than in any
of her previous pictures, is only
meet again to make final decisions
on the uniform.
The classes also voted that some
form of raincoat would be regula
tion for next year, the color and
type to be decided later. Over
seas caps to be worn with the dress
uniform were decisively rejected.
The classes voted that the regu
lation army windproof and water
proof jacket be made regulation
for the corps. Upperclassmen will
be permitted to wear their present
leather or other jackets until
worn out, but the army jacket
will be regulation for freshmen
next year.

ning. Scoggin and Jeffrey open
ed the inning with walks. Buch
anan sacrificed, but was safe
when Haley threw the ball away.
Scoggin scored on the error. Peden
then singled sharply to center to
score Jeffrey and Buchanan.
Bumpers sacrificed, and Rothe fol
lowed with a safety to score Peden.
Lindsey hit into a double play to
end the inning.
They added four more tallies in
the sixth inning. Jeffrey doubled
to left. Buchanan singled to right
and went on to second as Casey
held on to the ball. Jeffrey was
safe at the plate on Peden’s
grounder. Buchanan was out in a
chase as Bumpers grounded out.
Rothe got a bunt single to score
Peden. Lindsey was purposely pas
sed to fill the bases, and Francis
singled to short to score Bump
ers. Pugh’s long fly accounted for
the fourth run of the inning, with
Rothe coming in after the catch.
The cadets added their final
run in the eighth on a walk, a hit,
and an error.
Rothe and Jeffrey led the Aggie
attack with two hits apiece, while
as shapely as one who would ex
pect from the fact that it has been
so carefully hidden in her previous
films.
Clark Gable is the foreign cor
respondent in Russia who has been
sneaking secret reports past the
censors. Some of the dumbest
things happen before he is caught.
One thing to notice in this show
is the easy methods of divorce used
in Russia. It is really quite con
venient.
There isn’t a bit of sense in this
show. The characters are looney
and they act it that way.
