VALUABLE PUBLICITY.
"We are venturing the prophecy that tho attendance of Simmons
students at the theater while the Cowgirls and Cowboys are on the
sercenwill bo almost unanimous. Everyone will be anxious. Jto see
personal acquaintances and familar scenes in the pictures. For tho
first time says Guy IL Allbright cameraman for Pathe Nows a
Texas subject has appeared on the front pago of Pathe Exchange
leaflet published by the company; he refers to the picture of Miss
Glenna Fay Grant in tho current Exchange.
The pictures of the band and pep squad will be quite valuable
publicity for Simmons. Much has been said in tho papers about these
two organizations. They have traveled far and have been seen in
their regalia by many people. Their pictures have appeared in
many papers. But neither pictures nor stories in newspapers are so
real as moving pictures. On tho screen the Cowboys will be seen
as they march and the Cowgirls as they actually do their "Stomp."
The number of people who sec the picture would be hard to esti-
mate. Countless numbers will see the band and pep squad on their
own campus. Boys and girls in the grammar grades and oven in
the primary divisions after seeing the pictures will decide that they
want to be members of the Cowboy Band' or of the Cowgirls. High
school students will be fired with the ambition to become members
of the famous groups. As a result Simmons will gain students for
many years from these moving pictures of the two organizations.
The Pathe representative states that he is anxious to cover other
interesting features about the campus. We are wondering how it
happened that his company and others neglected such a fertile field
as Simmons for so long.

INVADING THE STBONG PLACES.
Sunday morning at preaching service wo noticed a woman a
mother champing vigorously very much as kine do. -After seeing
this sight it was not .surprising to hear her sort two rows back as
he delightfully rendered pleasant music with a like mouthfull of
noise-making substance.
On the night of the same day at B. Y. P. U. we ran across a
ministerial studentexercising his jaws on his perpetual chew of gum.
Later at preaching service another ministerial brother at our left
ear competed quite successfully with the speaker. Students in Sim-
mons as a rule do not look to ministerial students as examples but
they do expect preachers to be rather circumspect above the average
in deportment and especially models of conduct in public worship.
When parents eat sour grapes it may be expected that the chil-
dren's teeth will be set. on edge for the youngsters are certain to
partake thereof also. A mother who violates social law at a public
meeting 'will not be considered consistent by her own child when eho
attempts to correct that child for misbehaving in public. And
preachers who chow gum in public worship if strictly honest will
have no right to expect their hearers to attend with decorum to
their own discourses.
The practice of chewing gum seems to have been brought to a
fine art by this generation. Many find it very easy to mako them-
selves heard at the opposite .end of the library while one or two have
been able to waft their melodies above tho noise of the spectators
aqd have been heard over several rows of seats at basketball' games.
Decent society we believe will finally put an end to this thing for
if (showing1 gum is all right in its place its place surely is not in
public.

ARE YOU GUILTY TOO?
By J Lowell Ponder.
It is just past eleven o'clock; tho hall is all quiet and it is a
little late for much' studying. It is lots of fun to relieve your mind
of patrol duty and just let it run around a little. And when you do
it will 'most always go back home. Home J Can you think of a
sweeter place than that! That's -where Pete is. I know she is up
to something for. I can see a glint of "cussedness" in her eye right
now. And I feel lucky enough to believe that I could beat Mickey
out of a "wise-cracking" contest. .
And "Chuch.'? Why I'd hug the big Miff's neck if ho should
come a. that door And sure you're not leaving out good old dad.
But maybe he bpti already gone along: . (
Homel But most of all itmeans mother. Wouldn't you like to
sit down and chat with her awhile tonight! "Wouldn't you like to
have her put her arms about you and soy again "I love you. hoy!"
If you're feeling kinda blue wouldn'J you give 'most anything just
to see her smile T
Yessir jt just naturally goes back home and sometimes when
-you get to thinking thoughts like that a'nice warm fefeling comes
round your Heart and occasionally with that .warm1 feeling comes a
funny feeling in your throat. Aftqr that you tell the Father "thank
you" for her.
I'm just wondering does ;your mind ever do thatT Are you
guilty too!

THE LAW OF OBEDIENCE.
The first item in the common-sense creed is obedience

And I guess that tho boys have
been ickled to death with tho big
olo sweaters' and naturally tho
girls' hare taken an especial lik-
ing to the letter men. It seemed
that several of tho sweaters were
slightly small for their owners
now I wonder Just wonder.
This golf business is getting to
bo rather popular With tho fac-
ulty and even Some of the mem-
bers of the bay window club have
undertaken the thrco mile walk
over' day. Better join tho golf
club and onjoy tho privileges of
tho club.

Let's all turn out for tho gamo

' port tho Ranch Hands and help
make this basketball season the
j greatest fn the history of the

That picture Thursday nite
was some dinktum. Even Anne
Pcnninghton got hot in tho
chapel.
And I lust wonder how Elsie
is making out with her little red
school house. Maybe those big
olo wooly cow hands out there
aro not running around fn circles
over the cutest blonde that ever
hit the country.
What is this I hear about
Briggs Irvln forgetting who he
made a date with for tho ban-
quet? Better get that "Potter
girl" off your mind before Tues-
day Briggs. Tho senior favorite
will expect you to at least know
her name.
Just plenty of romances have
hit tho school and it won't bo
long till wo must caution you
against holding hands on the
campus. Girls start using some
creom on their paws every nite
so thoy will bo in good condition
for the great days of early spring
when puppy love is nearing its
turn into a dog's life for some
poor hard working boy.
BILLY BOY'S POETRIE.
Aunt Elva was hanging out her

When Tommy just ten years old
said

It was mighty "nice of tho
school to buy the wrecking crew
footballs and they should bo ap-
preciated to the highest extent
even if they all did bear the in-
scription "Freshman".
Valentino is coming soon so
tho boys might as well hock that
Christmas watch now and start
brushing up on that ol dverso
Papers aro read
And days aro blue
But if you went to Simmons
It'd be tho same with you.
That Famous Continued Story.
(Chapter 13)
With a lurch tho gong rang
out in fact so far out that no one
heard it The booger man throw
himself into .a fit of rago . and
shouted that it was tho first
thing that had ever fit him The
pussy cat could- not have known
for even your best friend won't
tell you and besides four out of
five havo it and tho others are
making It. With a snort tho
coonie ran lip the trco and with a
chuckle and whining voice
shouted to tho jleer "So It Js you '
eh?" And tho poor little dear '
who had lost her hankio.with her
mad money wailed back in a most
pitiful sob and tho laughter of
her remorse shed Itself all over
the. terra iirma. And: she cooed
back in a brusk vulgar voice

From Other Campuses
In English colleges students: have
more freedom In thoir studies. They
havo individual studies class work
and lectures and aro permitted to
cut ono-third of tho latter. Thoro is
a mora elective typo of work and
fowcr required courses In English
schools. There Is a certain ground to
bo covered in working toward a de-
gree but English students aro per-
mitted to cover it in their own way.

Bill 109 in tho House of Representa-
tives Tuesday providing that all
teachers in public .schools bo Ameri-
can citizenes bo amended so
as to include universities and

ment and it was defeated. Only tho
public school teachers will bo required
to conform to tho rule. If the uni-
versity had been included as tho
amendment intended visiting profes-
sors from foreign schools would havo
been barred. Daily Texan.

Hockey as played by tho colleges
is moro dangerous than football or
any other sport Is a fact that Is
brought out by Joseph Stubbs Har-
vard hockey coach whoso article
"Intercollegiate Hockey In tho East"
appears in tho February issue of Col-
lege Humor.
"A doctor is in attendanco at all
practices and games" says Coach
Stubbs "and ho has a most complete'
equipment of medical supplies it
might bo noted that he had two very
severe injuries from skate cuts last
season both of which required prompt
needlework. One of tho visiting
players dislocated his shoulder in a
game was ethclzcd his shoulder roset
and strapped up without leaving tno
building. There aro very few prac-
tices or games whero tho doctor
leaves without having a call for his
service. Hockey is a dangerous
game." Tho Houstonlan.
