mmu. Steady Work and Good Pay
)6 For Young Men in the U. S. Navy
There has never been a time when the comfort of enlisted men
in the Navy was so carefully looked after. The daily life is
varied and interesting. The work is healthful and not too
severe. There is time for retreation and amusement. Shore
leaves in home and foreign ports when practicable. The food is
wholesome and there is plenty of it.
There are vacancies for capable young men in every branch of
the service. Electricians, machinists, firemen, stenographers,
drug clerks, stewards, cooks and bakers are especially needed.
And for men in the seaman branch there is alwaji a chance for
advancement and continuous employment. If you have a trade
there are opportunities for you in the Navy, at higher pay
to start; but not having one does not debar you from enlisting.
The East Austin Improvement club
met In monthly session last night at
the Ure hall and discussed a number
of matters of interest to the citizens
o the east side. The main tople. of
discussion was the improving of Last
Sixth sreet, and an effort is being
made to have this street, graveled from
where the paving stops on to the east-
ward. The meeting was well attended
and great Interest was shown.
The matter-of securing gravel from
the city hall was brought up and Al-
derman C. W. Moore, chairman ot the
city hall committee, who was present,
said that it had been estimated that
there were 20,000 loads or gravel to
be secured from the excavation, of
Which East First street and Blast Fifth
Street were to be first supplied, as con-
siderable pressure had been Drought to
bear upon the committee to ube the
gravel on these streets. After these
two streets, said Mr. Moore East Sixth
street would be attended to, and every
endeavor would be made to see that
that thoroughfare was supplied. After
a long discussion of thia matter a com-
mittee was appointed consisting of C.
Kuse, Frank Hlermann, B. F. Harper,
A. J. Byas, O. J. Clements. They
were instructed to go before the city
hall committee, the street committee
and the city engineer and make an ef-
fort to secure sufficient gravel for East
ixth street. If the gravel was se-
cured, they were to go before the coun-
ty commissioners and endeavor to se-
cure the county’s aid in distributing
the gravel.

year. Coach Metzenthin will probably
be assisted this year by I. W. Par-

It is still doubtful how many of last
year’s team will return. It seems al-
most certain that Ballard Caldwell,

The Rock Island will, i* is an-
nounced from the system’s headquar-
ters, probably finish the extension be*
tween Alexandria and Eunice, La-, by
the middle of October. The completion
of the line from Little Rock to Eunice
will open up a new territory in
Louisiana and Texas to Galveston,
Houston, New Orleans and Little
Rock.
The Frisco, with the Rock Island, is
working out now one of the principal
objects of the Moore- Yoakum expan-
sion policy. The Little Rock and
Eunice line of the Rock Island forms
in connection with the Frlsco"s new
Baton Rouge and Houston line, the
basis of two of the leading aims of
the management.
It is the general understanding that
the Rock Island’s Little Rock and
Eunice line will be extended ultimately
in. a northwesterly direction, so as to
establish a direct line from the western
grain fields to New Orleans. There is
such a line from the grain fields to
Galveston, as a result of the addition
to the mileage in the past year.
The Frisco’s new line between Hous-
ton and New Orleans is the connecting
link between the principal gulf ports.
It also serves as a part of the longer
. gulf coast line which, with the St.
Louls, Brownsville and Mexico,
teaches from New Orleans and Gal
veston to Brownsville. The Rock
Island and Frisco interests do not
control the Brownsville line, but Mr.
Yoakum personally is associated with
the syndicate.

dres of thousands of tons a year. In

steel terminal road at Lorain.

RUSH TO NORMAL.
Institution at San Marcos Has Almost
Doubled Attendance.
San Marcos, Texas, Sept. 11.—All
past records were broken today when
the Southwest Texas normal opened
with the largest attendance In its his-
tory. All parts of the state are repre-
Eented—the far away Panhandle, the
El Paso country, as well as the ex-
treme northern part of the state and
Eastern Texas. Principal Harris ex-
pressed the opinion that the enrollment
this year will rach the 500 mark. The
devotional exercises were conducted
by Rev. B. A. Copass of the Baptist
church. The audience sang “Holy,
Holy." as the opening song. Misses
Butler and Casis were at the pianos.
Principal Harris delivered an address
which was a very plain, practical talk
to the students as to what they would
be expected to do as students. He
stressed the fact that whatever is
worth attaining, whether in the busi-
ness, professional, social, moral or
literary world must come through
hard toll. He expressed his belief in
the gospel of toil.
The enrollment of students will con-
tinue until tomorrow and the exact at-
.tendance will not be known for a day
or so. ; , .
The town is filled with students and
Sen Mateos is fast gaining the 0:3*
tinction as the Athens of Texas.
The attendance at the Coronal In-
stitute was increased today by new
arrivals. t '
Judge Hunter of San Patricio and
Sheriff Seale of Karnes county were
here to place their daughters in the
normal. , , .
The attendance at the normal is al-
most double what it was the first day
four years ago.
