Yc Oplnator wan more than well
pleased with the first ball game of the
season. Although he would have had
the .score changed he feels that In
cveiy other respect the outcome was
very favorable to a successful season.
It seems that Coaches Taylor and
Myers have Inaugurated their careers
of college coachfag In a big way.
However all the effort was not ex-
tended by the participants on the Held

can find. The magazine came Into
existence a little more than six months

start. It is written for men with edu-

Almost invaiiably the long arm of
the law reaches out to get its crimi-
nal. At last the Lindbergh kidnap-
ping case Is being brought to light.
Pet haps it is too soon to say that the
mysteiy hns been solved; but after
two long yenis of patient waiting the
public .seems to be gratified with the
case the officials arc establishing. It
is haid to say just what kind of pun-
ishment would be suitable to Inflict
upon the doeis of such a ghastly
crime.

ODE TO AUTUMN DAZE
Polly Ann lames '
Poets sing of Summer nltes
'Neath star lit skies and moon's white lite
And spring has drawn her share of praise
For April showers and sunny days.
Winter frost and cold winds dreary
Had made many patient readers weary.
Autumn days are quite well known
Tho Autumn daze Is quite unknown
But the Autumn daze is here once more
The dear old days of school daze lore
The smile of the freshman campus vamp
The meeting of boys 'neath the drug store lamp.
The daze of the line shot during the freshman's first date.
The daze of touchdowns nearly made
The thrill of the Alma Mater soulfully played
The flash of the colors here and there
Across the fields of brilliant flare
The daze of Autumn may It last
The best day of school on campus and class.
(May the English language forgive her for she knew not what she did.)

Art Department
Rapidly Growing
The art department under the in
structlons of Miss Virgle Walker is
progressing by leaps and bounds. It
was learned yesterday that the de
partment had Increased 133 U percent
over the initial enrollment. This does
not' surprise the faculty as a whole
for every department has had a stea-
dy Increase since the opening.
Miss Walker Is organizing classes
for the instruction of drawing biolog-
ical forms 'and physic drafts. The
classes will meet every week in the
art studio located In the basement of
the Fine Arts Building.
Any student now taking a science
wishing to get advanced instructions
on drawings and drafts will meet
with Miss Walker at your conveni-
ence. There will be a very small fee
charged for these lessons.
The Art Department is arousing
much Interest outside of the school.
There are several members of the
classes that are only taking this
branch of work.
Tantalizing Tanthrums
1. What state has given us the
most presidents?
2. Which are the most frequently
misquoted sources of knowledge?
3. What is the most deadly gas for
war combat?
4. How small Is the world's smal-
lest radio?
5. Where is the land of wonders?
6. What president was a bachelor ?
7. What Is the most nearly perfect
food?
8. What Is the steam piano of the
circus called?
D. Who was the Snow Baby?
10. Who wrote "Crossing the Bar?"
A concept of human life as electri-
cal energy derived from solar radia-
tion has been developed by Dr. George
W. Crile one of the country's out-
standing surgeons and research phy-
sicists. For years the National anthem of
tha U. S. has been played on the cash
registers of the munitions manufao
turera of this country.

TWO THOUSAND
.'MOO-NECK" SUFFERS COLLAPSE
Changes Hade
By Librarian
There are some changes in our col-
lege library this year. First of all we
notice that we now have a full time
librarian Miss Mattle Bailey.' Her
home Is in Rockport but for the past
five years she has been librarian at
the high school In Kingsvllle and was
assistant librarian at A. & I. College
the past summer. Many new faces
are seen on tho staff of the assistant
librarians as only a few of the last
year assistants have returned. Those
who were members of this crew last
year who are holding the same posi-
tions now are Evelyn Couch Nannie
Marie Pearson Polly Barnes and
Louise Moore the assistant in charge.
New faces of the library force are
Onaloulse Rowell R. Z. Moore Sun
shine Rice and Bessie Pearce.
Of course you have noticed that the
charging desk has been moved into
the reading room. This is certainly a
much needed change and is very con-
venient both to those who use the li-
brary and those who work there.
There is a cut "slot" In the desk-
many have been wondering what this
place is for. Well the purpose is this:
when you have finished with a book
you have checked out for the period
drop the book in this slot so that it
will be checked in by the librarian.
The books must not be left on the
desk. You are responsible for books
that are not properly checked in.
Just across the hall from room eight
you will notice that there has been a
rectangular place cut out or tne aoor
to the library. This also serves a
worthy purpose. When you have a
book to turn In and the library is clos-
ed drop the book through this open-
ing. alley Gives Notice to Students
Miss Bailey wishes to take this op
portunity to tell the students of a few
changes to be made in inc uorary.
She says:
"Daniel Baker College Library be-
longs to you. Use it as though its
contents belonged to you personally
and that means a perfect Insurance of
the library. The reading room is to be
made Into a real reading room to
study do referenc work etc. Abso-
lute quiet Is required. Student libra-
rians have absolute authority to en-
force this rule. All reference books
will bo placed In tho reading room.
When you finish your study with these
books place them on the shelves in
I their proper place. Never take a ref
erence DOOK iron) me reuuiiig muut.
Late magazines will be checked from
the loan desk. There will be a charge
of 8c per day on overdue books.
Books are counted overdue if checked
in after 3 o'clock the day thoy are
due. This fine will be paid at the loan
desk. When your library record 1b
not clear you will not be permitted to
check out books. Reservo books may
be checked by periods for use in the
reading room and checked out after 3
o'clock for over night."
Students Use the Library
Students use the library! It is your
library and it is for you to use. That
is why we have a college library. Form
the habit of reading good books and
you will find that It la a good pass
time. Let the librarians neip you to
find books you would like to read for
pleasure as well as for reference in
connection with your school work.
Professor McKay head of the lan
guage department met his classes for
the first time Thursday. Mr. McKay
spent the greater part of his vacation
in the hospital. Just before school
opened he was removed to his home
but was unable to report to his work
when school opened. Mrs. Horn has
bean conducting his classes.
No. 3
CAMP
Of special Interest to all Daniel la-
ker students comes the news of the
most dynamic stupendous colloiial
gigantic and otherwise great big large
thievery of one noted establishment
the Palace Drug Store hang out for
all Daniel Baker students and dormi-
tory girls (until 7:30.)
It comes to us as a special prlvl-
ledge and pleasure to present to the
student body of Daniel Baker this In-
teresting news made available to you
through the courtesy of the United
Association for the Prevention of De-
ceased Cockroaches working in har-
mony with "Hank" Lee and His Scul-
lions. So please lend your senses of
sight and hearing to this dynamic sto-
ry with all of Ith collassal details.
It was at that time of the wee wee
moments of the morning when the
moon shine (wo mean moonlite) was
filtering down through the acorn
plants doted above the promenade dis-
tricts of Daniel Baker that the one
who is a menace and enemy to good
society and tne welfare or innocent
cockroaches went stealing across the
3tar lit weather beaten celebrated
well paved expansions of tormented
sod commonly known as Austin Ave.
to the portals of the celebrated estab-
lishment mentioned above. Pausing
for a moment to cast his scrutinizing
eyes through the well known key hole.
He leaned his powerful physique to
one single effort and crashed the none
too flimsy lock that separated him
from his desirable goal. The snooper
flitted from case to case in search of
his premeditated loot while two thou-
sand unsuspecting innocent and con-
tented cockroaches basked in the bliss
of their familiar surroundings.
This cockroach enemy number one
was soon pouncing upon their inno-
cent and defenseless heads. From all
indications this cockroach kidnapper
brutally gathered these delicate ones
nnd forcibly confined them to the suf-
focating and Intolerable tarpaulin nap-
sack. At this point the brutes de-
struction and disturbance was rudely
interrupted by the sudden awakening
of one "Moo-neck" Murry reclining at
the time in peaceful slumber at the
rear of the prescription department.
The thief nnd kidnapper fled through
the door as "Moo-neck" charged from
the rear armed to the gills with a dou-
ble barrelled shotgun. "Moo-neck"
persucd to the door and fired into the
still silent peaceful air a disturbing
and arousing volley that resounded
through the drug store and sent pim-
ples of hot' lead after the fleeting sha-
dow in the darkness.
Drama Turns to Tragedy
Of course this little drama must
turn to tragedy. Most evell doings do.
There seemed to be no profit acquired
by the evil doer and great harm was
done to the others. The unscrupelous
cockroach catcher must have met
with foul play. A brown tarpaulin
bag was found next morning conceal-
ed In the bushes next to the dormi-
tory steps and several noticed Dr. Guy
Davis B. V. D. C. A. T. W. B. A. C.
C. C A. A. A. etcastera; noted au-
thority of no mean ability on the
very recent theory of week end dates
for College Co-eds was seen cruising
about the dormitory landings pouring
Into every crack and crevice a bom-
bardment of keenly refined greatly
advertised FLINT! (And believe you
mo Dr. Davis knows his guns.) From
all these indications the poor home-
less cockroaches must have found ref-
uges among the women hermits of
that celebrated establishment the
Girls' Dormitory.
Wo don't know how the cockroach-
es
feel maybe they are happy in
their new surroundings and yet again
they may pine for the days of yore
with "Moo-Neck" Murry and his
brothers and cousins at the Palace
Drug Store.
It Is thought that the mystery will
be cleared up soon many of the gum-
shoes of the city force are working
on the case and are promising an
