Lost Girl,
It Wasn’t Oak Hill Wines This
Time.
Bert Blessington, cartoonist of
the Houston Telegram slipped on
the sidewalk, fell,, and broke his
arm, last Wednesday. The fact
that Blessington is a teetotaler is
evidence that the case of wine he
got from New Ulrn, Oak Hill
Vineyard, had nothing to do with
it. Besides, a conspiracy of the
Telegram staff and Col. Geo.
Bailey got the wine and declared
a moratorium.

“German rulers have an eye on
the main chance. German
economists are builders. Ger-
many holds 240,000 prisoners of
war. It is contemplated to put
them to work draining swamps
and repairing roads.
Germany isn’t as great in area
as Texas. It supports 66,000,000.
Its financial minister says it
produces sufficient breadstuffs
and meatstuffs to feed its popu-
lation and can do it even, in times
of war. Its farmers feed them-
selves and feed the consumers in
city, town and hamlet. Its
artisans before the war turned
out the finished products which
were sent to all the markets of
the world. Now the swamp
lands are to be reclaimed by the
prisoners of war and public high-
ways are to be constructed by
prisoners of war.
The Germans are scientific
builders.
They work themselves and
they are going to compel their
captives to pay for their shelter
and their clothing and their food.
They are no loiterers or parasites
in the German empire at the
present writing. Over there the
natives must fight and the
prisoners must work.
Uncle Sam fed 6000 Mexican
refugees during hostilities in
Mexico.
They were Huerta followers
who had crossed the Rio Grande
into Texas to escape from the
tender mercies of the Villa re-
volutionists. They were shel-
tered and clothed and fed. They
were not compelled to work.
Uncle Sam should take a few
lessons from Kaiser William.”
Oct. 18.— Quite a crowd of

did time. 118 dance tickets

Everest ^Rhodes of
Paris, Oct. 18.
French officers are shootin
themselves on the battlefield
rather than risk being picked up
by the Germans and held prison-
ers, according to a report pub-
lished in the Temps today.
This extraordinary procedure
was revealed in a letter from a
French officer, which says:
“I was shot in the breast
leading a charge and the fear’
seized me that I might fall into
German hands. Therefore I
held a revolver at my head ready
to pull the trigger when my own
men dragged me to the rear
under a hail of lead.
“That evening a sergeant visit-
ed.. the ambulance with an ad-
dress drafted by the regiment
expressing a wish for my speedy
recovery. But when he saw
how pale I was he concluded I
was dying and leaning over the
bed he kissed me, while tears
streamed down his cheeks.”
One of the great fun-making organ-
izations of Houston is known as “The
Red Roosters.” They did much in the
No-Tsu-Oh of 1913 to cheer up the visi-
tors and pulled off some parades and
Street stunts which kept the town
agog during the week.
This year they will have an even
better program.
Beginning with the king's arrival
parade Monday morning of No-Tsu-Oh
week in which the Red Roosters will
take part in uniform, there will be
Red Roosters in everything offered by
the No-Tsu-Oh association in addition
to a complete program of st»unts, pa-
rades and functions that will be pure-
ly and solely of Red Rooster origin
and operation.
Every night of the week will be
celebrated by a parade of some kind.
Everything done by the No-Tsu-Oh as-
sociation, however elaborate and lav-
ish, will be parodied by the Red Roost-
ers with something none the
orate and lavish and almost
grotesque.
Every No-Tsu-Oh parade
headed by the Red Rooster band,
marching directly in front of the Mu-
nicipal band and immediately behind
the escort of mounted policy It has
been rumored that the'Red Rooster''
property man nas been offered an al-
most fabulous price by a costume fac-
tory for patterns from which the
band’s costumes were made, and that
only one tailor has been found with
sufficient ingenuity and skill to make
these costumes.
The Red Rooster Deep Water pa-
rade will include specimens of prac-
tically every known and many un-
heard of forms of life habitating the
lower depths of the ocean. A sea ser-
pent a hundred or more feet in length
will worm its way, twisting and writh-
ing its scaly form along the street,
while from its mouth and eyes fire
will spurt forth in burning and ter-
rifying blasts. There will be sharks,
lobsters, eels, Jonah-surfeited whales,
crustaceans, seadogs, sealions, octopi
and mermaids running the entire
gamut of grotesque to gay.
A regatta in which, tn*) long racing
sculls representing the Rice Institute
and t’rairie View Normal will occupy
an interesting section in the parade.
As this wondrous pageant moves
along the streets it will emit a variety
of noise that would startle and appall
a veteran of the Antwerp siege. The
chairman of the Deep Water parade
committee has also conceived the idea
of encouraging the fine qualities and
developing the wonderful pleasure-giv-
ing capacity of the olfactory organs
and some queer smell-making devices
have been invented and manufactured
especially for this parade.
Everybody along the line of parade
will be handed a souvenir of some
sort, many' of which will be valuable.
These will include several
fish of a very novel type.
Several hundred editors
newspapers will be made
Red Roosters Tuesday night, or rather
early Wednesday morning of No-Tsu-
Oh week. This event will be a par-
ticularly brilliant and smart affair
and will receive a large amount of
careful attention from the entire In-
ner Circle membership as a special
compliment to the Texas newspapers.
The Red Rooster ball, marking the
climax of Red Rooster social functions
for the week, will stand along in the
annals of smart and unique dancing
events. The ball room will be under
the canopy of the same starry, B
sky that shelters the gulf coas
prairies, and the ball room floor will
comprise several blocks of Main street
extending southward from Capitol ave-
nue. , ■.
This space will be inclosed in a wire
net fence and the pavement covered
with meal after being thoroughly
washed. A unique lighting arrange-
ment will be used. At the moment the
Red Rooster and Little Brown Hen
appear, disclosing the identity of
those persons for the first time, a
large pyrotechnic pi:4ee
across Main street between the Ban-
der hotel and the Beatty building will
be tquefyed off. showing their portraits
