of hearing such a splendid corps of

k "The chief difference between
Texas Woman's College girl chew-
ing her gum and a. cow "chewing
her cud is that the cow general-
ly' has •a thoughtful look."
p To the interested observer of
dormitory life it would seem that
gum chewing is as essentially
a part of a college girl's educa-
tion as is biology. Everywhere
and on every occasion there are
girls who seem possessed with a
positive mania for energetically
and systematically exercising their
jaws in this fashion. Aside from
the matter of it's being a breech
of etiquette, these people forget
that., they are . probably causing a
great desiie to "Go and do thou
likewise" among their associates
by their seeming' show of industry
and of pure pleasure derived
from it.
They do it in "gym" classes, on
street cars and interurbans, in tin1

pered that the queen of the All-
College Circus day stunts., was,
on the night oT her coronation,

"The freshmen are entering more

Exercises and training for "im-

as low and round shoulders, and

ing .expenses.
"The spirit of fellowship at the
conference was wonderful. The re-
ports, financial and otherwise, from

I history of the conference."

I irst prize of one hundred dollars for
the best novelty stunt, All-College
Circus Day, Saturday, October 17,
held in the stadium at the Texas
State Fair. Texas State University
won the five hundred dollar prize
for the best all-college circus stunt.
One hundred girls, dressed in the
college colors, maize and blue, form-
ed the letters T, W and C,( waving
streamers of maize and blue as they
rose to their feet.
The program f the night was
opened l^y the entrance of queen of
the circus, Miss Mary Ella Pace of
S. M. U., attended by her duchesses.
Then came tli£ Parade of Nations
followed by the college stunts. The
football game between Terrell school
and Rice freshmen, a" victory for Ter-
rell, concluded the list's events.
At 12:15 Saturday more than 130
girls went 011 special interurbans to
Dallas. The majority of them went
out to the fair grounds.
The amusements were lightning,
the caterpillar, jazzer, freak anirhals,
merry-go-round, ferris wheel, fortune
telling arid penny pictures. Several
twirls went to the Coliseum to see
"The Student Prince" and others to
the exhibit halls and the Fine Arts
Building.
Dean F, B. Isel®, Miss Anna Lois
Burdette, instructor in home eco-
nomics; Miss Ltfrena L. Parrish, in-
structor in physical education, and
Mrs. Knighton, cflapgron, accompa-
nied the gi.rls to the fair.
(JIRLS RELATE FUNNY
EXPERIENCES AT FAIR
"The Funniest experience 1 ' had
while at the fair took place in the
Alamo," said Willie Mae Gaines.
It seems that a handsome young
lady, who chewed her gum gracefully
and spoke of her years in Vassar,
was examining an old rifle which
hung on the wall in the hall.
"Oh, yes," she cried, "the Alamo!
of course 1 remember it in history.
Who was the fellow who got killed in
here, anyway?"
Opal McKec and Elizabeth Robin-
son had their funniest experience on
the safety coach on their way home.
A handsome gentleman, slightly
stewed, <puked his head in at the
window and called;
"lsh cverybcra^ on?"
IX"
Supposing that lie was' the driver,
Elizabeth replied:
"Yes; are you the driver? We
want off at T. W. C. campus."
"Whersh that?^" asked the stewed
one. ' \ '
"Tk» campus of Texas Woman's
College," replied Elizabeth patiently.
"Oh, yesh," said the man, "and I'd
go with you, but 1 have to go to
the majestic to get a divorce. Take
good care of my wife."
And the cheerful one skipped hap-
pily away across the street.
A laige majority of the girls de-
clared that "Lightning" created the
most thrilling experience they had
ever had. It seems that Lois Wil-
liams. and Si Ellington had a hard
time holding each other in. Poor
children, they didn't know what the
hand rails were for.
