The force was organized in 1835,
when Texas was in revolt against
Mexico. It has existed in some form
from that time until the present.
Texas rangers of 1923 have taken
active part in recent roundups of
suspects in whipping parties and in
the illegal liquor traffic and still
Confederate army. After the war,
during the recontsruction period, a
force known as “state police” was
organized, but this organization was
no part or parcel of the rangers.
After reconstruction, the rangers
were reorganized to rid the state
of desperadoes. They did, with
their usual thoroughness.
Texas rangers are not soldiers.
They have never worn uniform or
carried flags.
But they are at home in any man's
fight and live up to the high stand-
ard set by the old timers.

* JUNIOR RED CROSS +

444444444*******
Miss Mina Ellis, Red Cross secre-
tary, is in receipt of the following
letter, which is encouraging to the
members of the Junior Red Cross:
My Dear Miss Ellis:—
Last year some of the Christmas
boxes packed by your children found
their way to the Virginia Islands.
By way of expressing the apprecia-
tion of the thoughtfulness of your
schools, these juniors gathered some
shells and corals on the islands and
have sent thme with little notes of
appreciation. I am sanding material
intended for your schools to you
under separate cover. Of course, 1
am sorry that there are not enough
objects for each child who partic-
ipated in the Christmas box project
to receive a gift but the boxes were
distributed to very needy children
and the small token is all that the
Virginia Island juniors could afford.
The spirit prompting this simple
act of appreciation will thrill your
juniors when they know that their
gifts did bring happiness. Will
you use them where you see fit?
I am glad that your juniors are
already packing boxes for this
Christmas, for I am sure these gifts
will make them realize how worth
while the Christmas project is.
Very truly yours,
MISS MARION MEYER,
Chapter Service.
