SIMMONS TRADE TRIPPERS 1
We take pleasure in calling the at-
tention of every student and faculty
member to our special page of adver-
tising entitled "Simmons Goes Trade
Tripping and Gets Acquainted.'' This
page will appear in the Brand for
three consecutive weeks with new ads
and new name each issue. The mer-
chants who have ads appearing on
this special page as well as those who
have advertised clswhero in the paper
ard especially ready to welcome and
serve with a smile and first class
merchandise every Simmonsitc. who
goes trade tripping during thq coming
three weeks which wo have designated
as a special shopping time for all.
Let everyone xead every nd care
fully If you do not you are likely
to be the loser for most of them con-
tain an extra message that may be
to your special interest Watch for
your name.
In considering the names used in
the ads it will be noticed that in most
eases the names used are those of us
who have rendered some special serv-
ice to Simmons. However the plan
is all for our special pleasure and a
wee bit of fun for everyone. Be sure
to take your pals when you call for
your compliment. Let everyone en
joy the novelty of thp ads and let
everyone show the merchants appreci-
ation for their genuine interest to
please youth and every student's
nature of liking something different.
Poston-Hemphill Co. makes the
game a little hard for1 the gentler sex
but some co-ed is going to wake him
up early some cold morning and make
him take notice of an honest-to-good'
Bess straight ''A" card for such queer
creatures do appear sometimes in this
institution. However we assure this
sincere friend of Simmons that he
wont be rushed for we all know that
if it isn't one professor it's another
and some just naturally love to trim
A's to B's.
Now teachers and students get on
your bibs and tucks and go shopping
'but before-you go read every ad for
guidance.

' THE FORGOTTEN ANTENNA
Joe Burton
' The other day I purchased a radio
set It was very beautiful one of
the fittest money1 could buy I was
proud of it
J wm extremely happy over the
hours of pleasure lit would
ate. I was overjoyed at the
fact the J could simply turn my
Mtfo diele and hear men of great
letouwm 4Uvr mighty eMaeeurses on
tfcl taws governing the actions rof
MM qmnm wiwt voiumm-
iwins wmM stag when I 44-
I Mold sit hi My room and
Natal to Mm soft silkm Toicea oTtfce

J awtJiwfirt harmony? I eould ob-
rwlaaji adaptations at one
alawnt per-
would boom m at the proper moment
or the tenors join in .to round out the
musical concord and make the desired
enect. Instruments 01 the most
beautiful tone awaited my command
to lull me to the realm of forgetful
strains 6f tho mellow toned violin or
tno more powertul effectes of tho
wind instruments. Orchestras bands
instruments of every kind were stand
ing eagerly waiting an opportunity
to stimulate! in mo that satisfaction
of mind I desired. At my command
were orators lecturors preachers
speakers of every kind. If I tired of
Hrvan Schuler was eagerly waiting
to entertain mo. I might listen to
the comical deliverances of a Lardner
or turn for thought stimulus to an
Arnold. At my disposal would bo the
world Of entertainers. Tho one chosen
would depend upon tho passing fancy
nt Vin minil nnd the turning of &
Ismail dial.
A man brought my set in and in-
stalled it. Ho was a great while
doing the job. I becamo impatient
and hurried tho workman; this prob
ably vexed him. Finally ho announced
thnt tho set was ready for use.
I was delirou3 with joy. So happy
was I that I could do nothing but
revel in my happiness. I lbllcd in the
luxury of the unspeakable sensations
that were mine. I passed my hand
over the instrument soothingly. I
admired its beauty tho fino grain of
the wood its rich color and tho hand
somely compact cabinot. Instead of
the ininimato piece of furniture I saw
a man speaking; he was of stately
build and at first his words were in
distinct. Then I could hear him. His
wonderful words spoke peace to my
soul. Tho very essence of joy was
mine as I listened to the man speak
unto me.
Then I aroused myself from my
reverie. I determined to find that
man and hear tho message ho had
for me. I Tesolvcd to tune in on the
station from which he was speaking.
I. tried my 'set on a near station but
failed to hear it Then I tried an-
other and could not get a sound I
tried one after another frantically.
Each attempt failed in succession.
What could be the matter with my
apparatus? It was new and one of
the finest on the market J went over
it hurriedly seeking disconnections.
Then I tried another station in des
peration. This attempt also failed
to bring results. My mental con-
dition .approached the state of utter
distraction. I went outside to look
at my antenna my last ray of hope
hinging on the possibility that there
might be a slight flaw which I could
adjust The antenna was not there I
My anger Decause the man had for-
gotten to put up the antenna was in-
tense. I turned resigned footsteps
toward the street hoping to find
consolation in a few moments of sol-
itude. My mind became reflective
and my thoughts more serious. I
thought of the many ignorant people
in this world who cannot tune in on
doomed oshrda-oacan .xua.oft fi
the good things of Hie. They can
never reach out and grasp tho op-
portunities that present themselves.
They are doomed to a small sphere
of activity' and must continue to eke
out a meager existence wrapped with
the scrannel retentions of the can-
aille. They can never climb high on
the ladder of success because they
have'forgotten to fortify themselves
with the antenna of life. They have
not educated themselves in the
schools of thq )and. They are retard-
ed in everythingHhey do by their ig-
norance. Though the optimist may
go up and down the land persuading
men that wonderful opportunities a-
wait the man to claim them yet the
ignorant cannot stretch forth his
hand and grasp them because he did
not put up his antcnna. He becamo
hurried in his preparations; he was
anxious to launch forth into life; he
had been overcome by the hypocriti-
cal visions brought forth by his ego j
he had sunk into the quagmire of his
own 'desires. This what he thought
ambition had put an end to dis
cretion. He stepped forth to taste
of life without even having the pre-
paration necessary to oemmand ade
quate subsistence for himself much
less to return to humanity a measure
of the good things which men have a
right to expect of their brother.
Now it is too late to go back and
pick up the scattered fragments of
his sadly neglected education. His
forgotten antenna was forgotten for-
ever n taht day when he threw ed-
ucation aside in favor of the impetu-
ous desire to begin life on his own
then possibly unknowingly he shut
out of his life all the better things
which bring enjoyment and happiness
to mortals. He confined to the nar-
row walls of his own construction
The neclected antenna of his life
spells isolation in respect to the re
finements of culture

FIVE YEARS AGO.
ROUND TABLE MEETS
WITH MRS. SANDEFER
THE SIMMONS BUS
(Not That Way Now)
About every college on the earth
They have somo transportation
But the kind that Simmons has
Is rather imitation.
When you have your face all
powdered
And your nose is shining bright
To go to town; perhaps you want to
But perhaps you'll wait all night.
Thp bussman may be sick
Or tho bussman may bo lazy
Or the weather may bo windy
Or the heavens may be hazy.
Then perhaps on Sunday morning
You are dressed for Snuday School
Waiting out at Necdmore
Where tho nir is fresh and cool;
There you see the Buss a coming
All Mary Frances he has got;
They'll pass you by in cold derision
At n slothful donkey trot
When you hear the devil coming
When you hear a dreadful fuss
You growl out in vile dejection
"That's that confound Simmons
Buss."
By the Brand Staff Poet.
The first meeting of Simmons
Ronud Table an organization of the
teacher's wives met with Mrs. J. D.
Sandefer last Wednesday afternoon.
Tho club presented two pretty
ferns to Mrs. Sandefer.

LARGE NUMBER PRESENT
AT THE CLASSICAL CLUB
The Clssical Club met in regular
session Thursday afternoon at 3:30.
The growing interest in the Classical
Club was shown by the large number
who attended the meeting. There
were thirty people present. Most of
those who were not members put in
applications for membership and
were received into the club. As the
class is studying about the history of
Modern Italy a very interesting pro-
gram about that country was given.
The following program was appreci-
ated and enjoyed by all.
The Rise of Modern Italy Lynda
Robertson.
The Physical Characteristics of
Italy:
(a) Its Mountains Gladys Tran-
tham. (b) Its Rivers Herchel Rucker.
(c) Its Rods Josephine Gavin.

Although plans are now on foot
for the annual Halloween party given
by the Mary E and Philo societies
for the students and facuty nothing
definite has been decided as to timo
and place.
Because of the B. S. U. Convention
and inadequate time it will not be
as at first planned this Saturday nigt.
Smith Hall will more than likely
give her parlors over to the affair
as she has formerly done.
