PRICES
A PRETTY SHREWD business
observer remarked the other day
that “most of this talk about the
high cost of living was produced
by people who produced very lit-
tle else.”
*^e real answer to the high cost problem is W-O-R-IC.
When each of us produces to capacity there will be
enough to go round—and at eight prices too. The old
supply and demand is still working “overtime.”
Work hard; spend what you MUST spend in Browns*
ville but surely deposit something regularly in a Savings

CORRECTS MISTAKEN
IMPRESSION GUN IS
EIRED FROM ITS CAR
(By Tho Associated Press)
WASHINGTON July 31.—Popular
conception of the railway mount for
the heavy caliber artillery—such a.-
the 14-inch naval guns used by the
Americans in France—is that these
big guns can be fired as they move
along the tracks. Major Genera! W.
F. Cor of the coast artillery explains
that this is erroneous.
“Essentially a concrete block is
necessary” he says. “Over it the
gun is run on its trucks and then
placed upon the block. We actually
take the trucks out from under th- 1
gun when it is fired and it stands
on a carriage with an'arc of fire of
360 degrees. The gun can be taken
from one position to a similarly pre-
prepared position. The real thing is
you can send the guns to strategic
points.’
For the defense of the country fron.
| a naval attack General Coe declares
lit is well known where the blocks will
be needed and that preparations can
be made long ahead of time as a part
of the regular fortification program.

GOT SMALL RED ANTS AT
YOUR PLACE? NO DANGER
Sanitary Engineer Says They
Not inimical to Health.
(By The Assoetate^BrewO
AUSTIN Texas July 31.—That
the small red ants that infest resi-
dences during the spring and summer
months are not inimical to health is
stated by V. M. Ehlers state sanitary
engineer who adds tha{ there is no
evidence at present that the ant acts
as a host to causes of disease able
to be transmitted.
Numerous inquiries are being re-
! ceived by the state department of
health as to the most effective meth
ods to employ in ridding residences
of the ants. Among other method-
of destruction suggested by the de-
partment is the application of bisul-
phide of carbon on or near the nest
of the ants although care should be
taken the department warns not to
permit the chemical to be ignited in
any way as it is explosive.
MOHAMMEDAN STATE IN
TRANS-CAUCASIA PLAN
Strong Movement With That
Object in View is Seen.
(By The Associated Press)
WARSAW. July 31. — A strong
movement designed to create a large
Mohammedan state in trans-Caucasia
extending front the Caspian sea to
Erzerum. has been started recently
according to word received here. It1
is designed to make the new state a
satellite of Turkey. A purely nat-
ional idea is said to be behind thi<
movement and which has nothing in
common with bolshevism according to
reports excepting dislike for the al-
lies.
It is said I-enine. the Russian pre-
mier and Mustapha Kernel* Pasha
Turkish nationalist leader both have;
th° same aim—to attack Croat Brit-
ain. But while Kernel cannot admit
Moscow’s supremacy over Armenia
and the Mohammedan Caucasus Len-I
ine does not wish to see creation of a
large Turkish state in the Caucasus.
Consequently though allies the
two leaders are really rivals.

BIG CROWD ATTENDS
POST BOXING EVENTS
Several Good Fights Witness-
ed by Soldiers With Large
Gathering of Civilians.
Probably twelve hundred people
including soldiers and civilians wit-
nessed a program of boxing bouts at
the Fort Brown Service Club las
night that as a rule was full of pep
and go. Some of the bouts were a
little slow but the more rapid ones
made up for any defects in the slower
ones.
there were little fellows matches
at 1 10 pounds and larger boys up to
140 but the premier boxing event of
the evening v.as furnished by Rob-
ertson and Townsend at 120 pounds
While Townsend was the object of a
blow iu the final round of the three
round go that put him groggy on hi.-
feet he and Robertson were well j
matched and fought well. Robertson
could have knocked him out with n
final blow but he was given the de-
cision before it was necessary.
Another event of unusual merit was
a sparring match between Stevens
and Davis of the band. Stevens is a
boxi r of unusual skill and the work
of the two men neither of • whom
nought to place any blows was in-
teresting to all those who enjoy wit
nessing the scientific end of boxing
rather than the slugging variety. The
match was a draw.
Frankler of the cavalry and Dumlac
of the infantry fought three round.-
to a draw but the event started out
more promisingly. Dumlac has a
rather slow and often disconcerting
movement but after his opponent
“got wise” to it the two men fought
A-ith equal results.
Lawrence of Company I and Moore
of the Fourth Cavalry 110 pounds
fought to a draw. Appelbaum was
given the decision in three round with
Milinski at 110 pounds. Robertson
machine gun troop was given the de
eision over Townsend of the quarter-
master corns at 12T) pounds. O'Day
who was scheduled for another match
..iat was to be the banner event put
or. three rounds with Schussler win-
ning the decisiotj. His original op-
ponent for this event was sent to the
hospital several days ago for an opera-
tion. O’Day had the advantage in
both weight and skill. Bennetto and
Finck foueht three rounds to a draw.
Lieutenant Stockton refereed the
matches.
The cavalry band played. Corporal
Munley sang a solo and two French
songs were presented by Private Al-
lard.

STONE ‘POWDER PUFF IS
SIGN MODERN GIRL IS NOT
AN ORIGINAL BEAUTIFIER
LOS ANGELES Cal. July 31.—
Present day girls with their cosmetics
orange sticks and nail powders may
be chagrined to learn their aboriginal
sisters who disported themselves be-
side the Pacific generations ago knew
something about personal embellish-
ment.
A stone “powder puff” found on
Santa Catalina island^together with
a prehistoric toothbrush is evidence
of the early day activity of the women
according to Ralph (Hidden who made
the discoveries while searching Indian
graves on the island for the Mayo
foundation.
The toothbrush resembled the mod-
ern in size shape and co^or. The
bristles were gill fibres from the jaw-
bone of the stingarce. The “pull”
probably would seem heavy today for
although it looks like the modern bit
of down it feels iike a lump of lead.
It was used it wr.s said to crush the
ochre with which the Indians beauti-
fied themselves.

WASHINGTON. D C. July 31.—
Every year congress grants $100 for
the repair of fences and for cleaning
up and r aintaining the 13-acre reser-
vation at Wakefield Vu. where
George Washingtc n was born.
There is no duelling on the place
but a monument marks the place of
nativity of “the father of his coun-
try.’ Wakefield is 110 miles from
Washington and is not ofte nvisited
because it is not easily accessible. It
is a mile and a half from the Potomac
and pilgrims going by water mu-t also
trudge overland reach it. Ex-
cursion steamers no longer stop th*
old government wharf having been
partly carried away by ice and floods

ION PRODUCTION LEVEL
No wonder Mrs. Cow is
crying for help. Milk-
making materials es-
pecially protein are be-
coming scarcer every
day as pastures dry out.
A cow can't any more i
keep up her milk pro-
duction without protein
than you can huild a
fence without posts.
A cow can’t produce
m:lk that is lacking in
protein so she produces
less milk.
Feed Purina Cow Chow
Cows on pasture are sure
to let the milk production
slide down unless a bal-
anced concentrate is fed.
^ ith a good cow a gallon
of Purina Cow Chow dur-
ing July should make one
