SAYS SCIENCE AGREES
WITH WOMEN STUDENTS
<Br The Annoclated Prem.)
VIENNA, Sept. 10. — Women are not
only fitted to do scientifie work purely
for science’s *ake, but they are ae-
complishing results in the laboratory
world. Dr. Agnes von Zahn-Harnaek,
daughter of a famous German scholar,
told delegate* from twenty-two states
at the recent council mheeting of the
International Federation of University
Women here.
The record that university women of
many countries have made in science
more than justifies the financial aid
which the federation extends to stu-
dent*, she believe*.

Negotiations are pending for a large brick plant near Fritch where inexhaustible supplies of excellent raw materials combines with the natural gas in the economical manufacture of brick, badly
needed in the Panhandle of Texas. Plans have been consumated for the immediate establishment of a school at Fritch. Application has recently been made for the establishment of a postoffice at
Fritch Active work will begin on the laying of the trunk line and the gathering lines for the Kansas City-Texas Gas company not later than 90 days hence and perhaps much earlier. The Kansas
City-Texas Gas company will establish their headquarters at Fritch where they will have large supply houses, as well as a casinghead gasoline plant and a big number of men employed.constantly.
is anticipated that many employed of the West Texas Pipe Line company will reside at Fritch also. There is much drilling taking place at and around Fritch and this will be largely increased due to
the many gas wells that must be developed in supplying the several hundred million cubic feet of gas per day for the three big trunk gas pipe lines that will start frbm Fritch. As is known, so large a supply
of gas must be distributed among and derived from many wells, insuring an extensive drilling campaign in the Fritch zone.
No efforts have been made to open and push the sale of town lots or the establishment of the different kinds of business at Fritch, heretofore, pending the developments and conditions that would
oye warrant for the establishment of homes and business institutions at Fritch. However, the time has now arrived for these activities, and all desiring to make money in real estate investments or out
of business establishments or what not, should investigate quickly the rare opportunities now presenting themselves at Fritch. Urgently needed at Fritch area hotel, rooming house, lumber yard,
armv store and oil well supply houses. It is only a short auto ride to Fritch where all Interested people could see for themselves. The road from Amarillo is to St Francis then take the road crossing

in th* collection of trophies which
have been won in Europe by Chrysler
oar* on* of nusual appropriateness ha*
recently been added in Poland, according
to advice* just received by the Pan-
handle Motor Cp.
The trophy, which is a fin* example
i of artistie modeling, represents a bison,
I the animal familiar to Americans as the
buffalo, which within the memory of
many still living roamed the western
plane* of thl* continent in herd* num-
bering million*.
For 15 year*, the Automobile Club of
Poland ba* offered thia trophy to any
team of three care which could finish in
six-day reliability run without incur-
ring penaities, or "black mark*,” but un-
til this year none of the competing auto-
mobile* have been able to comply with
the difficult conditions. It remained for
three Chrysler "70‘s" to lift the prize
•o intimately associated with American
background*, in a competition which in-
cluded team* of 11 well known European
and American makes.
Curiosity ha* often been aroused by
the offer of a statuette which seemed
10 incongruous with European matters.
Students of natural history explains,
however, that the bison, now associated
exclusively with America, was once as
common in Europe, as until half a cen-
lory ago it was in our own West. The
fete of tbs species was the same in both
continents, although extinction by ad-
vancing civilixation was much later and
far more rapid on this side of the At-
iantie.
Potter county rural schools will open
tomorrow, according to Miss Laura V.
Hamner, county superintendent.
Boms of ths schools will take one day
off for the fair while others will have
school every day this week. Ths chil-
dren attending these schools will attsnd
the fair Saturday.
Many changes have been made in the
schools, since last spring including ths
addition of mere work in many instances.
CHRYSLER WINS TROPHY
OFFERED IN POLAND
Fritch, Texas, situated at the Four Corners 37 miles from Amarillo on the new Rock Island Line.
The Chicago, Rock Island and Gulf Railway Company owns the Fritch townsite consisting of 640 acres and now have at that point a commodious station and homes for section foremen and em-
" ployees and also extensive yards, side track and “Y,” as well as extensive stock pens, loading and unloading chutes for livestock. From four to six locomotives will shortly lie kept on hand constantly
in the Fritch yards. Fritch is at the very heart and center of the great gas territory and also of a large proven oil area. Fritch is surrounded by many thousands of acres of the finest and best agricul-
tural lands in the Panhandle. Fritch is situated'on sandy loam land, commanding a fine view of the Canadian River valley.
The new Amarillo-Liberal highway passes through the four corners one-mile southwest of Fritch and from the four corners will proceed through the main street of Fritch on to the Rock Island
bridge, thence to Stinnett and from Stinnett proceed north through Hutchinson and Hansford Counties, Texas, and Texas County, Oklahoma, to Liberal. This highway is now being graded in Potter,
Hutchinson and Hansford Counties and will shortly be ready for travel.
The West Texas trunk gas pipe line will be laid from Fritch to the South Plains and the Kansas City-Texas Gas company will lay their 24-inch pipe line from Fritch to Kansas City. Gathering
lines for the trunk pipe lines will be laid from Fritch territory. - Definite announcement can be made that casinghead gasoline plants will be established at Fritch for the purpose of extracting gasoline
from not less than 200,000,000 cubic feet of gas per day. It is also the plan to construct a highway bridge two miles northwest of Fritch across the Canadian River in Moore county. This bridge will
■ accommodate the highway from Fritch into the southeastern, central and eastern parts of Moore County where there is to be much development in gas and oil, as well as agriculture. A glance at the
map will show how convenient all that zone is to Fritch. The bridge will also serve the purpose of carrying at least two of the large trunk’ pipe lines across the Canadian River.
