Here’s a tip on how to make
money in the army given by
.Marvin McClure and John Mc
Connell, Over the July 4th holi
days, these two cleaned rifles
for their company at the ‘ rate
of $1 per rifle and when the final
count was taken, $96 was in
their pockets, jugt itching toj be
' spent on an Aggie week-end par-

Last week the “S. S:” MP ibar-
rackj^ were launched. “Yep” l you
justfean't keep those Aggies from
a drownout every now and then.
The? teusippers were too much a
temptation and floated good on a
midnight lab conducted by the Ag-
John. SijlcConnell and Charlicl Mat
tel must have thought they had
one tool many when they came in
the other night ami groped around
fun quite a time without finding
thgiribed*. After a little recommix-
xancC they discovered some prank-
xteira had tied their “sacke" to the
cellltiig. They were finally iiwluced
to iiiqlot i‘
m flu , .
the HoeJulx are beginning to in
crease in number. Tuesday night
the I) T roopers have,scheduled a
big bear bust and Thursday night
is Uin all ROTC dance'with dates
coding from Austin, Waco, Tem
ple, and surrounding towns. It is
rumored, that the Aggies will get
morel than their share of dates
from the crowd.
Thursday afternoon is sche
duled for graduation ceremonies
at which time several Aggies will
acquire that little gold bar. The
\ rest of the Aggies will b^- on
the waiting list for next June.
- TrainingTat Hood last week con
sisted mainly of seeing demonstra
tions of armored infantry and tank
battalions in action. The 2nd Arm
ored Division put on some very
interesting shows for the trainees.
Those infantry and tank teams
working together in mock battle
wert; enough to convince all of the
cadets‘that ‘ they wouldn't want to
face Jtne 2nd in real battle. It
wouldn’t be too bad to be on the
same team, though.
The most interesting demon-,
stration was at' night. An 'in
fantry platoon set up entrench
ments on a hillside for,a counter
attack and demonstrated how
much fire power a' small unit
could have. ”/
Everyone was greatly impressed
when everything started popping at

182 Typhus Cases
Reported In First
6 Months of 1948
Statistical information coippiled
by the State Health Department
shows a total of. 182 cases Of ty
phus reported so far this year.
'During the week ending July 24,
[however, only seveq new'cases
were reported, which is one-half of
the seven year median of 14 for
that week.
The disease reaches its peiuk in
the month of August, Dr, G. W.
Cox, State; Health Officer, Jsaid.
Over a five-year period, 1943 to
1947, typhus fever bus been re
sponsible for 273 (deaths, j Th 1 *
death rate has '.been reduced-from
63 in 1943, to 30 in 1948.
“Typhus fever as we know! it in
Texas is transmitted by the fleas
of infected rats,” Dr. Cox- said.
“It can be controlled by mniiitain-
ing a program of rat poisoning,
rut trapping, and rat proofing.”
Typhus fever 'is marked by a
severe headache, chills, and fever.
A reddish mottling appears on the
skin, and a hacking cough de
velops. The headache is the out
standing symptom because of- its
severity. Illness may last; from
5 to 14 days.
The greatest Outbreak of typhus
fever, or Brill’s Disease, vpas in
1941, when there was a total of
733 cases repoitted. j
The Health Officer added that it
was a sad commentary on bur po
sition as the riiost health piinded
nation on earth if we allow the
disease to flourish when the [means
for control and eradication jare at
hand.
