NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 3.-Al- though Vanderbilt out-ran. out puntcd. and out-passed Mississippi A. and M. here today, the Commodores were no better sailors in the long run than their enemy. the two teams miserable with mud and a driving rain.
 Every attempt at real football was upset by the inches of mud and water which covered the field Van- derblt gained twice as much yard age from scrimmage as the Missis- sippians. but fumbles prevented dores were within striking distance. At the outset of the game Kuhn and Reese each made runs of 4S yards, but treacherous footing and handling of the ball turned aside scores.
 Vanderbilt gained steadily on an almost constant exchange of punts as the. field grew worse, but on more than half dozen occasions fumbled when driving near touchdown. vanderbilt's air attack, hitherto a weak scheme, aided in the yardage compiled. Three passes were com- pleted for 50 yards, one of them in the final period, placing the ball on the Aggie's 10-yard line. On the first plunge at the line the Commo- dores fumhled and the closing minutes of play found the two teams rolling, wading and sliding in the center of the field, never calm enough to. allow for the anchorage of the ball behind a goal line.
 Reese was the leading ground gainer of the day, while Bomar, Wakefield and Kenneth Bryan were figures of strength in defensive play. Perkins and Stephens led the Aggies attack.

Threaten to Stop All Smoking
Inside Z. S. Forest Reserves

jurisprudence of the reserve super
visers to say whether or not there
will be no smoking of pipes, cigars
or cigarettes within the limits OF
the Angelus q 1ievland Forest Re
serves.
An intense investigation of early
summer forest fires springing up
in certain parts of Southern Calf
oruia has developed the evidence
that n large majority of these fires
have started from carelesslv thrown
cigarette stubs falling into dry
grass alcng the road.
Ban is Considered
No such ban has vet been placed
on the forest reserves of the South
ern part of tae state, say the Auto
club officials, but as during June
and July more fires are found, such
contingency is entirely possible.
If the water sheds continue TO be
menaced by forest fires, should
such 4 step be taken, then more
drastic means will be found to pre-
serve them. This would indicate
that motorists, mixers, and picnic
ers will be barred from entrance TO
the forest reserve.
Forest reserve officials have not
flied the auto club that every pos
sible effort is being made this year
to prevent destructive conflagrat-
ions in the hills and mountains and
there will be no more foolng with
the situation at Ill. Watch yoEr

MAY SETS HIGH
RECORD FOR REQ
MOTOR CO. SALES

Nav stands ont as the biggest
month in the entire history of the
REQ Motor Car Company, all pre-
vious records for volume of bus
mess having been shattered. A new
high figure for shipments had been
set during the month of March just
passed but the total shipments in
Nav were far in excess of this pre-
vious mark and 81 per cent greater
than in the month of May, 1922.
"The record which has been hung
up for May was not attained by
forcing shipments but was set by
simply supplying the demand to the
best of our ability says X. G..
Rueschaw, sales manager of the REQ
Motor Company.
Shipments are Uniform
"It is encouraging to note that
shipments during the month of May
were relatively uniform throughout
the country. 1t is equally encour
aging to know that the demand for
REQ products has been consistently
insistent in every part Of the United
States.
THE outlook for late summer and
early fall months is equally promis-
ing. Our dealers in the agricultur-
al districts report that business looks
exceptionally good and this coupled
with the healthy city business which
is definitely assured gives us ever
reason to believe that our facilit-
les viii be taxed to the utmost to
meet this continued demand for REQ

n k AIRY ROBERTS RINEHART,
mn unique as the only woman
WI humorist of note, fatty denies
"A the bromide that women have
no sense of humor.
'Tu admit most women can't see q
joke on themselves. but then" the
famous writer paused and looked at me
with q twinkle in her eyes. when You
come to think of 1t, good many men
can't take q joke on themselves either.
There's an element of cruelty in a
mans sense of humor that women lack.
You don't find a woman laughing at
the slapstick comedian that falls head
first in a barrel of -four and can't get
out. And IL you'll take up the next
man who says that women have no
sense of humor you'll find that's what
he means-that women don't roar at
the other fellows mishaps."
Mrs. Rinehart, famous as a play
wright. novelist and short story writer,
is surprised that she is never ranked
among the American humorists. for
such she considers herself.
"Is II because they think that 1t Is
impossible for a woman to be humor-
is?' she questioned me gayly. of
course am primarily story teller, but
all my short stories are light. The
"Tish, Bah and Sergeant Gray
stories are all purely humorous. with,
In my love stories. a mixture of tender
ness. You see, / haven's that cruel,
satiric humor that makes so many men
famous. 1 like my characters can't
- nd Ia
the difference between a mans humor
and a woman's."
"would you rather be known as a
humorist than as--well, just novel;
istT' asked her.
''Well, you know, in a rather sad and
serious world like this the more smiles
we have the better 1t is for every one."
1t was hard to imagine that life could
ever seem sad to Mrs. Rinehart, as she
sat in her comfortable and luxurious
apartment, her husband and sons wait
ing for her to play golf with them. while
beyond a secretary attended to her
varied and most profitable business
concerns.
''Humor is the highest-paid type Of
writing there is.' Mrs. Rinehart was
continuing, 'tand it ought to be. Most
people don't know it, but it's much
harder to be light and funny than 1t is
to be heavy and tragic. Most OF the
famous woman writers. such as George
Eliot, the Brontes and others, are ter
ribly tragic. They took themselves so
seriously--that's the reason they are so
famous.
'But as for met Is impossible for
me to take myself or my predicaments
seriously-and so no one takes me seri-
ously. That's the penalty of being a
humorist. You take yourself lightly and
the world takes you lightly, too. No one
dreams of comparing the art Of Al Jol-

comedian works much harder.
