When Gouverneur Morris’ great
novel “When My Ship Comes In”
was placed on the book-tands it wont
like wildfire and in the :htrft space of
two weeks jumped in sales to the best
seller on the market.
W’hen the screen version of the au-
thor’s same work was presented in
New York it had the same effort on
the public as did the hook—it be-
came one of the best sellers on the
■creen. New York critics accorded it
every praise and Jane Grey who
has the featured role in the picture
was pronounced the ideal type for
Mr. Morris’ featured feminine char-
acter Sylvia.

Gouverneur Morris in his long car-
eer as a writer of fiction has never
written a story with the same appeal
as is carried by “When My Ship
Comes In.” It’s romance is fascinat-
ing its plot holds and the dramatic
manner in which it has been staged
by Director Thornby and the finesse
of the work of Miss Grey William J.
Kelley and Nigel* Barrie the princi-
pal members of the cast all elements
combined has drawn it to the hearts
of picture lovers with the result that
its popularity as a picture as enter-
tainment and as romantic fiction are
characteristics that make it big in
tvery sense of the word.
FOOTBALL PROSPECTS
FOR A. & M. COLLEGE
ARE VERY BRILLIANT
«By The A*so«inted Press.)
COLLEGE STATION Tex. Aug
21.—Football prospects at the Agri-
cultural anil Mechanical College of
Texas for the year 1919 are exceed-
ingly bright according to I). X. Bible
recently returned from France who
will again pilot the football fortunes
of the farmers.
The return of a number of men
of the 1917 team which won the
Southwestern championship by run-
ning up a total score of 270 points
without being scored upon gives
promise for an unusually strong team
this year.
Among those who will be back arc
Mahan Higginbotham Qrie.senbeck
and Dinnn ends and back field men.
and Wilson captain-elect of the 1918
team and all southwestern guard of
1917.
Knickerbocker quarterback for-
merly of Georgetown who has been
ineligible on account of the one year
transfer rule will be in the game this
season.
Spring training this year put the
jmen in splendid shape insofar as
kicking and tactics are concerned.
They will report about September 12.
The outstanding game is of course
the contest with Texas University
which will be played on “Turkey
Day” at College Station. No
changes in the coaching staff are
contemplated. Graves will have
charge of th * line and will assist
I Bible in the general coaching.

Souse. For this purpose the room
to be fumigated must be vacated.
Heavy cothing blankets bedding and
other articles which cannot be treat-
ed with zinc solution should be open-
ed and exposed during the fumiga-
lion. Close the rooms tightly as pos-
sible place the sulphur in iron pans
.supported upon bricks set it on fire
with the aid of a spoonful of alcohol
and allow the room to remain closed
for twenty-four hours. For a room
about ten feet square at least twe
pounds of sulphur should be used:
for larger roms proportionately in-
creased quantities.
Hear mis? Jewett: How lonjr has
ether been known to science? Can
you tell me who discovered it?
• * *
Ether was known to the earliest
chemists. Nitric ether was first dis-
covered by Kunkc.l in 1681; and
muriatic ether from the chloride of
tin by Courtanvaux in 1759. Ascet-
ic ether was discovered by Count
Lauraguanis same year; and hydri-
r.dic ether was first prepared by Gay-
Lussac. The phosphoric was obtain-
ed by M. Boullay. Ether is said to
ha\e been first applied to the pur-
pose of causing insensibility to pain
by Dr. Horace Wells of Connecticut
in 1846. The discovery that by in-
haling ether the patient is rendered
unconscious of nain is due to Dr.
Charles T Jackson of Boston; but
j to Dr. Morton of the s’tne place
probably belongs the cretl ' of first
demonstration by actual experiment
the use of ether in dentistry and sur-
gery. The practice was first copied
in Europe by Dr. Robertson of Edin-
burgh and Dr. Booth in London in
1846.

RIVER IS RAPIDLY
CUTTING BANK AT
FOOT OF LEVEE ST.
""" 1
Since yesterday morning the Rio
Grande has made a cut of several
feet into the bank at the foot of Le-
vee street and as the current is now
triking hard at that point and form-
ing a swift eddy it is feared the «ut
may extend a considerable distance.
! A the river falls the current at this
1 * . - i
point strikes with ever increasing
force and it will he a week or two
l> -fore it is normal and efcctive work
j c.'.n be dene to stop the inroads of
I the current.
The revetment work which was
placed at this point several month*
ago has apparently sunk down sever-!
• I feet having been undermined by
the exceedingly swift current. Such!
havoc as has been wrought to the pro-
j tectivc work* during the last rise of
the r.ver has not been deemed po.*si-;
hie and it is evident that greater
protective work will be necessary at
the foot of Levee street in order to
avoid damage during the next rise.

TWINS DISABLED IN
GREAT H'k/f TRAINING
FORN W VOCATION
Washington; r>. r„ Aug. 21.—
Kvi ry disabled soldier presents a new
problem to the vocational advisers of
the federal board for vocational edu-
cation. It is therefore interesting to
find an occasional similarity even in
the case of brothers.
Walter F. and Albert T. Grierson
j are twins who enlisted* in the A. K. F.
ion May 10 1017. Roth saw service
j in France both were wounded one
; received a gunshot wound through
the ankle resulting in partial anky-
losis the other received a gunshot
wound through the right arm caus-
ing paralysis of the hand. Before
they enlisted both hoys were bank
j < lerks. Now they have both applied
for training under the Vocational Re-
habiliation Law; courses in commer-
cial work to be followed by special
training in South American Trade
Relations at the university of Wash-
ington have been approved for both
of these men.

MAJOR GALBRAITH
GIVES INTERESTING !
TALK TO ROTARY
Major II. I». Galbraith who recent-
ly returned to Brownsville after two
years of active service in France
during which he received the distin-
guished honor of being decorated and
promoted on the field of battle was
a guest of the Uotaory dul» jester-
day and gave one of the most inter-
esting add re.- os ever presented at the
Uot a nans' luncheons.
Major Galbraith like most of the
soldier? who have returned from over-
seas had little to say concerning him-
self hut had a lot to ay about the
America: soldier his efficiency hero-
’>m good nature in the face of the
most trying difficulties and above all
his devotion to I'ncie Sam and the
cause of humanity for which America
was fighting. “It was the most clear
and concise statement of what Ameri-
cans did cver.-eas that it has ever
been iny good fortune to hear” was
the way one of the Rotarians express-
ed himself and in this ho expressed
the opinion of every one who was so
fortunate as to hear Major Galbraith.

ONE ROAD BUILDING
Construction Work on Rail-
roads at a Standstill.
AI’STIN. Tex. Aug. 21.—The on-
erouehment made by motor vehicle*
upon both freight and passenger bus-
iness of i'e\ji*. rat
such a point says Earle B. Mayfield
railroad eomnii so... i i..*.
be taken into consideration when de-
riding matters pertaining to rail-
roads.
During the war railroad service ir
Texas was considerably curtailed am
many trains were discontinued. Will
the coming of peace citizens inter
ested began efforts to secure a re
establishment of pre-war servict
This matter is left to the decision o
the railroad eomniis-ion and man
hearings :r. which both the railroad
and the citizens presented uigument
have been held. Almost invariably
railroad representatives contend thu
motor vehicle have taken over s»
much of their former business tha;
additional tiain service would provt
unprofitable.
Mr. Mayfield says that where rail
*oad connections are bad and when
'Oivice is poor the invasion of the
uotor vehicle is especially noticeable
lie also contributes considerable ol
he impetus given commercial trails
portal ion by trucks to the “saiiing
lay plan” inaugurated by the rail
road administration. I’nder this plan
freight wa- held for rail shipment
for certain days of the week. As a
•onsequenee when a shipper wanted
quick service for a short distance he
armed to the auto truck.
In a hearing concerning passenger
traffic between Houston and Gal-
veston the railroads declared tourist
travel to Gulf Resorts lias been ser
iously undermined by automobiles.
At present there i- only one piece*
of railroad under construction in the
state. This is a road from Wichita
Falls into the oil fields. A recent
statement from the highway commis-
sion was to the effect that actual con-
struction on highways in thirty-sev-
en different counties is under way
and that many more counties will be-
gin construction as soon as prelim-
inaries are disposed of.
The Bankhead National Highway
from Texarkana to El Paso is only
one of the stretches of road being
built which may be compared to a
trunk line railway.
When the Texas and Pacific rail-
road years ago bridged this same ex-;
pause across the state it shifted traf-
fic of Texas and mad* and wrecked
L*ities.
At that tune Jefferson ui the 1
northeast corner of the state on Cy-
press bayou which allowed water
shipments to the Mississippi was the
largest city in Texas with traffic of-
ficers at many street crossings to
keep wagon trains untangled. These
trains came from as far west as
Stamford and teamsters counted
themselves fortunate if they were
able to get from the outskirts of
Jefferson to the market places and
back to ramping grounds between
suns when Dallas was a village and
Fort Worth an army post.
Now water snakes coil around the
piling that once bound by mooring
roja-s river steamers and trees have
grown through the floors of Jeffer-
son’s warehouses.
Te\a« students of economics here
are wondering whether the automo-
bile is not now beginning a revolu-
tion in Texas that in the end will
equal that brought about by the rail-
road.
