PLOW A STRAIGHT FURROW
Exam time is with us again and ns in keeping
with the custom of the Brand since the year '01 we
join with Proxy and the faculty in admonishing
students to be fair and square in the examination
rooms.
Remember that if what is taken away is merely
a grade nothing is taken. If they are grades earn-
ed in an unethical manner maybe we should have
stayed at homo and hoed the potatoe patch. Our
parents have paid for the opportunity of having
us exposed to an education. Our teachers have
done their duty perhaps more than their duty.
Should we repay these efforts with dishonesty?
Hardin-Simmons stands for liich ideals that to
some degree should be etched into the character
of even the greenest freshman at this point of the
journey. If they have not been instilled into our
being it is because tho soil was too stony and would
not allow growth. Every student on this campus
has had the opportunity of a good moral back-
ground before they arrived on the 40 acres.
Recall the words of the oriental wise man "When
wo lose our self-respect wo loso the world."

GRAND OPERA INTRODUCED AT H.-S. U.
Dear Editor:
The students of Hardin-Simmons university
amused themselves for thirty minutes Thursday
morning in chapel as they blended their voices in
the difficult roles of some of the great old classics
in the field of grand opera??? The numbers ren-
dered?? by the student body were (as explained by
Prof. Young) the basis upon which all great music
was written.
It was indeed inspiring to the soul to see the
great- all-Amcrican Cherry and "Fisty" Harris
raise their eyes heavenward and with lusty (tho
lovely) voices sing "Three Blind Mice" and then
a moment later they softly modulated into "Row
Row Row Your Boat." I feel that these two men
might have missed their calling when they came
to II.-S. U. to play football instead of choosing
grand opera but on second thought well what
do you think?

IT WASN'T A GRID GAME
The public has realized for many years that
Hardin-Simmons was the tops in basketball dur
ing tho last two years she has taught everyone the
hard way that she has power on the gridiron but
last Tuesday night another one of her children like
Cinderella let it be known that it also was no
slouch. The Players club attained hcjghts of popu-
larity that all college dramatic organizations dream
of. but very few attain.
Better productions may have been presented by
them in the opinion of "die hard" dramatic critics
but never has one play reached tho level of enter-
tainment gripped the audience so completely and
so unanimously satisfied the whole crowd.
Tho castiug was perfect; the acting superb ; di-
rection complete; the make-up convincingly un-
evident; and may we come down to earth and flat-
ly state the prices were right.

Dear Mr. Editor:
I greatly enjoyed your editorial on "The World's
Greatest Lover" in your issuo of December 112th.
You were not quite accurate however in suggest-
ing that in the Deed of Abdication there was a
elauso in which Edward "promised never to sot
foot upon English soil again or go to any country
controlled by his native laud." I send for your
guidance a copy of the actual Deed as you may
like to make this correction.
With every good wish for tho New Year
Yours sincerely
DR. T. WILKINSON RIDDLE.
(Editor's Note: Not often docs the Brand re-
ceive correspondence from readers abroad to whom
tho paper is sent. But their comments and opin-
ions are never received without botli enthusiasm
and welcome. Dr. Riddle is more or less an old
friend of the university and those connected with
the university. We thank him for his interests
and herewith reprint the instrument of abdication
of Edward VIU.).
"I Edward the Eighth of Great Britain Ireland
the British Dominions beyond the Seas King Em-
peror of India do hereby declare my irrevocable
determination to renounce the Throne for myself
and for my descendants and my desire that effect
should be given to this instrument of abdication
immediately.
"In token whereof I have hereunto set my hand
this 10th day of December 193G in tho presence
of the witnesses whose signatures arc subscribed.

Ilickory-dickory dock tho mouse ran up tho

. . . Well well (Yeah 1 know that it is a mighty

Congratulations ! Mr. Otho M. Polk on your se-

And now while all of these other writers arc

all-intramural all-putrid etc. I do hereby nomi-
nate and declare that my selection for the Most
Ail-Around Abused and Mistreated man on any-
body's squad is the All-Star bench warmer cause
doggonit they could at leost furnish a sofa or a
pillow to sit on after four years of SETTIN'. . . .
And now all you ono or two lads or lassies that
venture to read this column gather round while I
udmonish.you to "study hard for the finals so
mamma will ho proud of her big boy or girl. . . .
Goot-bye but wait for a P. S. Tho chief trouble
with tho idea that two can live as cheaply as ono
is that the follow who started it was thinking about
two goldfish and one canary Adios.
"Dad just what is Communism anyhow?" any
normal college student might well ask "I get a dif-
fcrcnt version of it every time I ask about it or
pick up a paper."
But unfortunately Dad has already made up his
mind from what he has read in his spare time that
it is a racket over there in Russia where no one
can make any money but if they do it's not theirs;
or at least it's everybody's. And he doesn't know
exactly how they divide it. But it doesn't make
much difference Son "it can't happen here."
Maybe the student would stop there and vcrj'
naturally forget about it none the better off. If
Dad didn't satisfy his curiosity he would look it
up in an encyclopedia but they're so technical they
arcn t much help ; and besides he wants to know
what the score is right now over there in Russia.
What he wants is an interpreter so to speak who
follows the subject more or less closely.
Very logically then he believes the one Rood
medium left for him to follow is to ask the govern
ment or history prot. about it. Certainly one of
them could tell him what it's all about. Then sud
denly just before our hero's intellectual curiosity
had led him to an intelligent classroom discussion
of the subject lo and behold a one-time familiar
J lth century cry booms lorth from tho dead ashes
of the medieval "knows-all" church which wo
thought had been put in its place for all time to
come by Newton and others who suspected and
proved that there was something else behind the
world phenomena besides what was ascribed to it
from behind tho pulpit.
This anarchonistic cry stopped our hero dead in
his tracks for it challenged his instructor's capacity
to deal intelligently with the subject of Commun-
ism and on top of that it went so far as to question
tho function of the school in teaching Communism.
Unbelievably he read reports on what the Ancient
Voice had said. Teach Communism in church 1
"But I never go to church but about once a
mouth" our rightfully puzzled hero reflects "be-
sides I already know that the system is anti-God
through and through who doesn't? And a min-
ister isn't going to spend a Sunday morning giving
me statistics and facts about the economic and
political issue of tho question. And that's what
I'm after. Naturally I'm against Communism be-
cause it's against God but tho Ancient Voice still
wants to make n combine political history-govern-ment-economics
seminar out of an institution in
which I want to learn a little more than I do about
the Bible and the Faith."
And so on and on our hero and the Ancient. Voice
wage their war.
In the meantime let's bo sensible about this
thing. Take your Bible and tho hymn books to
church but leave your text hooks homo. Don't
quote tho Bible in government class when Com
munism is .being discussed; it doesn't fit there.
And by all means let's not turn tho church into a
debating hall ringing with the merits and demerits
of Communism which would in fact have to be done
to learn tho subject adequately.
Given its time tho Ancient Voice like a volcano
or any other of its kindred reminders of a world
long gone by will soon quiet down so let's stand
by and hope that tho very volume of its empty
clamor will deafen our ears to tho messago it would
bring. by Lee Metcalf from Tho Prospector.

when ho was going to return to his
teaching position in Simmons Mr.
Richardson said "Well I hardly
know since I've been nwny I find that
I know so little I don't know when
I enn come back but I hope to return
next summer."
Prospects were bright for a good
band under tho direction of W. O.

Noted Beauty Authority
TO BATHE IN BEAUTY
When wintry winds blow chill nnd
chapping without nnd radiators bub-
ble merrily within drying tho skin to
pnrchment-llke consistency It Is time
to begin doing something drastic
about tho hnrd water situation. Hnrd
water in addition to tho drought-llko
atmosphere In which tho finest com-
plexions flnko nnd chnp is sufficient
to causo a very definite nnd unpleas-
ant effect of the skin.
Our pioneering grnmlparcnts used
to get around this difficulty by col-
lecting rain water for their infre-
quent baths; nnd n rain barrel in tho
bnck yard was the commonest of all
beauty npplianccs. Nowndays with
bathing a daily nnd sometimes twice
daily habit the rnln wntcr supply
would never bo sufficient. Nor would
It be very nice to use in any case.
Factory smoke and steam tho dust
ami flying particles of dirt nnd soot
caused by 20th century progress im-
pregnate tho nir for miles nround nnd'
nbovo even small towns. When tho
rain falls It washes tho air 'and all
tho dirt and dust and grime is tnken
up by the water. The girl who bathed
in this rain water would probably
emerge n dirtier if a wiser seeker
after cleanliness.
A much more satisfactory and
much pleasantor way to avoid bath-
ing in hard water is to use a bath
preparation. Pasteurized milk bath
not only softens hnrd water but is
actually a beauty treatment in Itself.
Combining all tho beautifying ele-
ments of pasteurized milk with rare
herbal juices and tonic mineral salts
of well-known spas n hnndful of this
concentrate dropped into the tub
nnd n full twelve inches of foam nnd
bubbles top the white silky soothing
liquid into which the bath has been
metamorphosed!
Tho hardest water is softened and
your body is cleansed to tho last
choked poro that has long since given
up hopo of ever breathing ngnin.
Toxic poisons nrc eliminated nnd
enrried awny by clouds of vitalizing
bubbles. Weariness vanishes nnd
every trnco of stickiness and discom-
fort dissolves. An effective deodo-
rant nssures complete protection nnd
a fine invisible film of powdered milk
remnins on tho skin to prevent chaf-
ing nnd to keep your skin satin
smooth nnd soft at nil times. Into
tho bargain tho clean fragrant odor
developed by this concentrate clings
indefinitely.
With pnstcurized milk bath we re
turn not to the mnkeshift and diffi-
cult bathing methods of our pioneer-
ing grandparents but to the ultra-refined
and ndvanced systems of the
ancient Romans famous through the
ages for their bathing luxury. And
as a return to the customs of long
ago Is never accomplished without
somo progress tho milk bath of to-
day Is not only reduced to the small
compass of n concentrate it is also
pasteurized! There is no reason why
you should not indulge yourself in
this inexpensive and beautifying"
luxury daily.

diately. He has not had much experience
with women but they fascinate him.
He treats all of them alike and nat-
urally women resent (his. A female
could twist him around her finger
because he is "weak and willing." He
would know that he was being done
"wrong" but the fascination would
still hold him.
He enjoys a good time and hates to
be thought of as nn individualist. He
likes to mix and mingle with the
crowd nnd do as they do. If he thinks
that he is co-operating nnd by doing
