of Christianity?” At
While these are the days for se-
cret planning in all parts of the
world, Galveston is holding ap its
end of the task. Moreover it Is
being done by .a greater percentage
of the population than in any oth-
er single community in the coun-
try. It can be confidently stated,
however, that very little of this
secret planning in Galveston is of
sinister nature. On the other hand
‘ it can be stated with equal cer-
tainty that ■ the overwhelming
majority of the planning is being
done with a view of adding spice
to the frivolities incident to the
celebration of Mard
Flames Do Considerable Harm Before
Being Extinguished.
An automobile belonging to Henry
O’Dell was badly damaged last night
' when it suddenly burst into flames on
Tremont street near Avenue H. A fire
alarm was turned in and was quickly
answered by the chemical apparatus,
which soon extinguished the flames.
The incident happened about 11:30
o’clock while the car was being driven
down the street. Mr. O'Dell could give
no possible cause for the accident, but
it is thought that oil gathering in the
dustpan was ignited when the motor
backfired. Both the motor and the
body of the car were damaged to some
extent. -

The congregation of the First Bap-
tist church will quietly celebrate the
seventy-eighth anniversary of the
founding of the church in Galveston
tomorrow in the church, which is
standing on the exact spot where the
first, church stood that was built in
the year 1840. The tenth anniversary
of the pastorate of Rev. Edward
Stubblefield at the church will also be
observed. On Jan. 30, 1840, the first
service was held in the church, and
Rev. Stubblefield assumed charge of
the church on Jan. 30, 1908. In the
celebration tomorrow the pastor will
comment upon the growth and develop-
ment of the church in the last 78 years
and the power for good it has exerted
in Galveston during that period.

try, attending the Chaucet rifle section
of the infantry school of arms.
Sergt. Masterson is in charge of the

The reports indicate that the recent
cold weather interfered considerably
with outdoor activities at Camp Trav-
is.
The men have all been informed of
the time limit, Feb. 12, when they
may make application for war insur-
ance with the United States. -
The publicity bureau of the 90th di-
. vision also sends the following:
Among the features to be found at
Camp Travis to give to the men op-
portunity for relaxation and self-im-
provement during the hours when they
are “on their own,” as the British say,
is a substantial, conveniently located
and well-lighted library building, in
charge of the American Library asso-
ciation, under the auspices of the war
department’s commission on training
camp activities. The building is an
attractive structure located near the
camp postoffice, Y. M. C. A. auditor-
ium and the Y. W. C. A. hostess
house. It now contains more than
15,000 volumes, many of them fresh
from the publishers, and a large num-
ber of them given by generous donors
individually.
GET GOOD BOOKS.
Contrary to general expectation
when the books were being collected,
those that were given were found not
to be “castaways,” but, on the other
hand, included good literature put up
in attractive binding's. The collection
at this camp is larger than that in any
other army camp, with the exception
of Camp Lewis. It is desired, however,
to further enlarge the supply at this
place, and books intended for this pur-
pose should be addressed to J. F. Mar-
ron, librarian, Camp Travis, Tex. Mr.
Marron was formerly reference librar-
ian at the Texas state library, Austin,
and has. a wide acquaintance among
the men now in camp.
Tables and chairs are now on the
way for use in the building, and as
soon as they are installed the place
will be open to the soldiers. Indeed
books are being let out now for use
in barracks and quarters, magazines,
general, technical and military being
also available. In addition to the work
in the building itself, books are sup-
plied to the various regimental Y. M.
C. A. buildings and to the Knights of
Columbus building, all of which serve
as branch stations in the issue of
books to the men. Officers have re-
marked that the library system thus
set in operation has served to cut down
the number of requests from the men
for passes to the city.
The folks “back home” can also be
of use to the boys in khaki here by
sending used phonograph records. The
disk that has grown tiresome from re-
peated hearing, can for a few cents
be mailed to some soldier lad at Camp
Travis who will be delighted to re-
ceive it, as most of the companies have
victrolas or similar machines in bar-
racks, and the larger the collection of
records the greater the possibilities,
of course, of that form of entertain-
morning service a matter, in which
every member of the church will be
interested, will be presented. Also
the “soldiers’ roll” will be opened.
All soldiers and marines may unite
with the congregation in Galvesotn
as full members of the church during
their stay here, and yet retain their
membership in their home churches.
They will not be expected to make a
pledge for the support of the current
expense budget. The public general-
ly will be made welcome at all the
services of the church.

Porto Rican Cigarmakers Have Re-
sumed Their Places.
By Associated Press.
San Juan, Porto Rico, Jan. 22.—Fif-
teen thousand cigarmakers and tobac-
co workers have returned to work in
the nineteen factories of the Porto
Rican American Tobacco company
after their representatives signed an
agreement with officers of the com-
pany. This ends the longest and most
general cigar strike the island has
ever had. The wage increase pro-
vides for the payment of $1.50 per
thousand advance on all sizes and
shapes of cigars, while the strippers
were granted an increase of approxi-
mately 50 per cent. The increased
wage will amount to more than $600,-
000 per year, it is estimated. The
strike had been practically continu-
ous since the middle of last Septem-
ber and caused a loss estimated at
$5,000,000.

Again the Tribune is enabled to give
the home folks some information about
the Galveston boys' in the national
army and training at Camp Travis. The
publicity department of the 90th divi-
sion furnishes the 'following:
Lieut. Edward M. Owens has been
transferred from Company G, 315th

Tomorrow at the Immanuel Pres-
byterian church, Rev. Geo. F. Wil-
liams, superintendent of the Houston
district of the Antisaloon league, will
speak at 11 a. m. and, 7:45 p. m. His
morning theme will be “Behind the
Lines for World Democracy,” in the
evening he will speak on “The Non-
conformists of Babylon.” The public is
invited to these addresses.
A small dog, a long rope, a small
boy and one of the military airplanes
from Ellington field furnished quite a
bit of excitement to the people of
Galveston who happened to live in the
immediate vicinity of the airplane
landing space between Avenues M and
P and between Forty-seventh and Fif-
ty-third streets the other afternoon.
One of the airmen from the field land-
ed and left his machine for a few min-
utes while seeing that fuel in plenty
was provided for it. During this brief
interim the usual crowd of onlookers
gathered around the wonderful ob-
ject, and not the least of the assem-
bled throng was the aforementioned
small boy and the smaller dog.
Now it is a well known fact that a
small boy is forgetful, and the one in
question was no exception to the gen-
eral rule. There were many wonder-
ful things to attract the attention of
a youngster who was in the middle
of all the wonderful attractions of sev-
eral real airplanes, and naturally his
first thought was to place the dog in
some safe place while he made the
rounds and took in the sights. Ac-
cordingly the long leash was attached
to the framework of one of the planes,
and the youngster started out.
Suddenly the air was rent with a
series of staccato yelps which might
have been calculated to melt a heart
of stone, and the youngster, brought
suddenly to himself, remembered the
dog. He ran to the place where the
plane and dog had been, and found
neither the plane nor the dog, but
shooting off over the sod was the
plane preparing to rise on the return
flight, and trailing pitifully in the rear
was the dog, dangling at the end of
the long leash.
The youngster gave up all hopes of
ever seeing the qanine again, this
side of the heaven that is set aside for
dogs, but the. disaster was not to be.
A ground keeper who was engaged in
clearing away the debris from the
field heard the disturbance, took in the
trouble at a glance, and with a swipe
of his knife he severed the rope which
was playing hangman’s noose for the
dog, and the small specimen of canine
animal life was again preserved to the
owner in the flesh.
Since then a youngster with a beam-
ing countenance and a broad grin is
showing to his admiring companions
his dog, proudly claiming that he is
the only canine in the city of Galves-
ton who has ever had the honor to
take a ride in a military airplane and
come out alive.
The dog bears his laurels modestly,
and if a dog’s looks are expressive,
there is no doubt in the minds of those
who have seen him that he would pre-
fer not to repeat the performance. .

Tonight at 7:30 o’clock the annual
membership meeting of the Galveston
Automobile club will be held at one
of the resorts down the island. The
chief business to be transacted will be
the election of a board of directors.
Later on this board will select the
members of the advisory board and
the officers for the year.
It is expected that the attendance
tonight will be something more than
one hundred. The members will take
their ladies along and after the sea-
food dinner and the business session
there will be dancing.
Hitherto the annual meeting of the
club members has been the occasion
for a lively evening and indications
are today that the event tonight will
be no exception to the rule.
Notices of the meeting were mailed
several days ago to the club members
and replies received by the secretary
indicate that the attendance will be
very good.
The greater portion of the bread
dealers in the city of Galveston have
showed,a marked willingness to work
hand in hand with the price interpret-
ing committee in carrying out the sug-
gestions of the federal food adminis-
tration, according to the statement of
J. D. Creath, chairman of the Galves-
ton price interpreting committee, this
morning. Following the adoption of
the uniform price system at the meet-
ing of the committee last Tuesday,
there were numbers of complaints
registered by the housewives, of Gal-
veston, who- said that there were num-
bers of groceries and a few bakeries
in the city which were not complying
with the ruling of the committee and
selling their bread at the fixed price
of 8 and 9 cents per loaf of sixteen
ounces, but were charging 10 cents for
these loaves. This matter was thor-
oughly gone over in, the regular semi-
weekly session of the committee yes-
terday afternoon, and it was finally,
decided that nothing definite should be
done by the committee, but the break-
ing of this practice should be left to
the consumer.
“When a person finds that he is be-
ing overcharged at one of these places,
he should immediately go where the
prices are in accord with those fixed
by the committee, for there are num-
bers of, reputable stores in Galveston
who are selling along this basis,” said
Mr. Creath this morning. “The • prices
as outlined in the list which is pub-
lished twice every week are suggested
by' the food administration, and these
are adopted with but very few altera-
tions, because it . is found that the
prices as fixed allow both the whole-
saler and the retailer a fair profit on
his investment. The prices of bread
especially were fixed only after a con-
ference between representatives of the
committee and a body of the represen-
tative bakers of Galveston, and the
prices agreed upon have already gone
into effect in the greater portion of
the shops. These are the shops where
the people should trade, and not the
one who is selling above the regulation
prices suggested by the government.”
There were very few changes in the
price list as established yesterday
afternoon from the one which was sug-
gested last Tuesday, compound lard
being the only commodity which has
advanced to amount to anything.
■ It was also announced that before a
very long time had elapsed there
would be plenty of potatoes on the
market, providing, of course, cars
could be obtained to transport them.
The sugar situation is becoming bet-
ter every day, according to the reports
of the grovers. Small grovers state
that they are able to make more out
of sugar on the government plan than
they were otherwise, because of the
fact that there is no competition.
The price list as arranged by the
committee yesterday afternoon as fol-
lows:

Information further elucidating the
recent pink boll worm quarantine
proclamation issued by Governor Hob-
by, is contained in the following letter
sent out by the secretary and traffic
manager of the Galveston Commercial
association to several interested per-'
sons:
Following the recent publication of
Governor Hobby’s pink boll worm
quarantine proclamation, we wired the
governor requesting upon what condi-
tions cotton could be shipped from the
quarantine area to Galveston. Mr. Er-
nest E. Scholl, chief entomologist,
state department of agriculture, re-
plied to this wire from Austin, Texas,
under date of the 22nd as follows:
“Under law present cotton crop can
be shipped quarantine area to Galves-
ton under government supervision,”
I also have the following letter dat-
ed January 23rd from Mr. Scholl:
“With reference to the telegram sub-
mitted to Governor Hobby yesterday
in regard to shipping cotton from a
quarantined zone, wish to add that
what I have already said in my wire
to you under date of Jan. 22nd that at
the request of a number of Galveston
people, Galveston island was eliminat-
ed from the quarantine established by
proclamation on Jan. 21st.
This season’s cotton crop from the
above area will be allowed to move
only when authorized by state and fed-
eral officers, and in this way it will
be possible for us to trace all ship-
ments of infested and otherwise dam-
aged cotton products and it will also
make it possible for us to properly
clean and fumigate cars or other ve-
hicles that may carry such products.
“In regard to the noncotton zone,
Wish to advise you that this matter
will soon come up for consideration
and the commissioner of agriculture
seems to be fully convinced that it is
the only safe plan under the present
conditions. Your committee as well as
committees • from other parts will be
heard on this question just as soon as
the commissioner returns from .the
western part of the state.”

This Is Title of Pamphlet Prepared
By C. A. Holt.
“Logs of a Ship” is the title of a lit-
tle pamphlet of verse which Col.
Charles A. Holt is distributing among
his friends in celebration of his sev-
enty-fourth anniversary. In the
pamphlet the logs of voyages 70 to 74
are dealt with in verse of a cheerfully
philosophical tone ending with the
moral: “To be seventy-four years
young is inexpressibly, more cheerful
and hopeful than to be forty years
old.”

public the other day that the K.
K. K. would give their annual
Mardi Gras bal masque on a more
elaborate scale than hitherto there
has been no end of tentative prep-
aration by those who intend part
ticipating in these festivities. In
view of the rule of the ball that
there will be no unmasking of the
dancers inside the auditorium the
thoughts of prospective partici-
pants have been turned to the best
means for having just a bit more
fun this year than on previous oc-
casions.
The well-known- attitude of the
K. K. K. toward the costumes
