Who knowa what the proper anawer
la?
There aeem to be few complaints
certainly about the existing set-up
from those girls who are frankly on
the make the gold-digging girls
whose ethics If any are elastic and
whose morals are opportuntles. (The
girls I mean who Inspired that wise-
cracking definition of an opportunist
as one who meets the wolf at the door
at night and comes out next morning
with a fur coat.) It Is the girls hav-
ing scruples who are struggling with
what some people call "practical mor-
ality" who are puzzled and flounder-
ing and wondering what is wrong with
the picture and how it can be made
right. One cannot dismiss honest
doubt by prescribing honest faith
when so many young people are find-
ing themselves unable to believe.
No accepted rules can govern the
conduct of every individual. They are
made for the greatest good to the ma-
jority and there will always be excep-
tions. The possibility however of
wanting to be just as honest with
someone some day as they are to you
makes Its own rules. Except only the
fineness you are able to give. That
sets the pace.

Brownwood Has Heavy
Frost Late Last Week
240 lbs. of It In Fact
Last week two hundred and forty
pounds of Frost drifted in and painted
the town in intricate designs with red
and white shades of beans and spa-
gettl. Jack Frost factory represen-
tative of Waples-Platter Company of
Texas rolled into Brownwood with his
jovial personality and a "line" about
Waple.s-Platters' line of thirty-five
staple gtocery items.
"Texas is one hundred years old"
states 'Heavy' Frost "and Waples-
Plattet has been serving the people
of Texas 64 of that one hundred years
and I have been represntlng Waples-
Platter thirty-thiee of those sixty-four
years."
Jack emphasizes the fact that the
present canning plant which has a
daily capacity of 63000 cans of Wa-ples-Plutter's
Ranch Style Beans and
the present factory site In Fort Worth
which covers twenty-seven acres of
land has gtown from a makeshift tent
pitched upon the banks of the Red
River sixty-four years ago illustrat
ing the value of the manufacture of
superior products.
Jack Frost all 240 lbs. of him
thinks that 'What Texas Makes Makes
Texas' is a good slogan and should be
used by all Texas and Texans during
the Centennial year. Popular senti-
ment is with Jack to the letter and
The Collegian thinks that the person-
able Frost is a swell man and that the
beans and spagetti he sells are the
best ever. Moreover If Jack Frost isn't
satisfied with this little squib let him
just try to get those beans and spa-
getti back they've already been eat-

said "Catch my hat." He finally got

hours he decided to bait the hooks. He
got half way on one line and then for
some unknown reason rebalted the

Two Irishmen roomed In an eight-
story apartment on the top floor and
could not sleep on Sunday morning as
the sun would shine In the windows
and wake them up. They bought some
black paint and painted the windows
and lay down to sleep. When they
woke up they realized they would be
late for work as it was 7:15. They
rushed to their jobs and the foreman
looked at them in bewilderment. Pat
says:
"Faith and what's the matter
boss? We're only twenty minutes
late."
Says the foreman: "Twenty min-
utes? Where were you Monday and
Tuesday ?" Chaser.

(By Associate Collegiate Press)
The old order changcth:
Dr. Calvin Stone of Stanford Uni-
versity is well on his way to changing
the whole century-old technique of
love-making and the gentle art of pro-
posing. This Iconoclast proves that when a
young man swears undying devotion
he should not clasp his hand over the
heart but should Instead hold his
head In his hands.
The heart says the doctor hasn't
anything to do with your emotion.
What counts Is the pituitary gland at
the base of the skull. Although he
admits the heart might get a "little
kick" out of being In love with a
manifestation of Increased blood ac
tion. But that's all.
When people up at Macalester Col-
lege In St. Paul ask Prof. William
Augustus Cornell If he Isn't the young
man who teaches the course In mar-
riage problems the professor gener-
ally changes the subject hurriedly.
Mr. Cornell you see Is a bachelor
in his mid-thirties.
Mr. Cornell Is strong for matrimony
for other people.
"Love? No one can falllntelllgent-
ly In love" declared the professor-
bachelor. "But professor who wants to be In-
telligent" said a bright young thing
in his class of 35.
"Spring" said the professor "is
here and class Is dismissed."
