Newspaper men and salesmen for

gathered in Coleman Sunday and
made a futile effort in a golf tour-
nament to wrest a silver loving cup
from Bruce Francis of Brownwood,
won by him at the spring meeting of
the Heart of Texas Press Association
held In Coleman. The result of th>'
meet probably would have been oth-
erwise had it not been for the un-
avoidable absence of Rufus Higgs of
Stephemville and all the other good
golfing members of the association
The tournament was to have been
held at Junction, Texas, last month,
hut rain and weeds prevented it and
Coleman .was selected as the place
lor the battle royal Those who ar-
rived before noon were luncheon
guests of, H. H. Jackson at the

BLANTON
Dora Aliiese. 7 year ok! daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Blanton of Merk-
el, Texas, died at the family home
in that city Monday, May 18. The
body was shipped here to the J. E.
Stevens Company and interment
was made in the Brown Ranch ceme-
tery, with Rev. P. F Squyres, pastor
of the First Baptist church of this 1850.09;
Miss Webb used as her subject the
1 history at Red Cross, beginning with
j the Crimean War in 1854-56 at which
time Florence Nightingale went to
j the British army hospital at Scu-
tari and began her work with the
wounded. Miss Nightingale was fol-
lowed. Miss Webb said, by Henri
Dunant, who In 1859 after witnessing
, the battle of Salfrieno. gathered
women of the neighborhood and
nearby towns to do what they could
j for the wounded. As the result of
‘this work a conference represented
by delegates from 14 European gov-
ernments and seven philanthropic
societies met in October. 1863, drew
j up and passed resolutoins which
recommended the development of a
system of volunteer relief in war
This organization was destined to be
known at the Red Cross.
I The United States did not have a
delegate in this conference, as at
|this time tlie Civil War was taking
all interest from things abroad.
I However through the efforts of Clara
■ Barton the American National As-
sociation of the Red Cross was cor-
related under the laws of the Dis-
trict of Columbia. She was elected
and remained president until 1904.
Miss Webb stated that there were
seven classes of American Red
Cross membership: Annual, whose
members pay $1.00 yearly; contribut-
ing, who pay $5.00 yearly; substaln-
ing, $10.00; supporting, $25.00; life,
and patron, $100.00. Fifty

As the recent drouth disaster has
no predecessor, work among the un-
fortunate was not run as smoothly
as Is cases when the relief work had
been tried before. Each chapter had
to work out its own method of deal-
with problems presented it.
The first principle of American Red
Cross, Mr. Hollingsworth said, is that
all persons applying for aid receive
the same treatment and this was
carried out in the local chapter in
aiding the 668 families of the coun-
ty. Of those applying for aid, only
about one third applied at the of-
fice of the local chapter

ed out to enable the county to take

Washington, May 20 (AP)-The
I heart, lungs and other vital organs
have been kept ‘‘alive’" as long as 12
[hours after being removed from an
| animal at the Georgetown Untver-
Isity Medical School. ,
Dr J Markowitz, professor of
physiology, Is performing a series of
these experiments in an effort to
discover how drugs affeet the vital
organs when body tissues are not
present to complicate matters.
It is difficult to study the effects
of drugs on the organs alone in a
living animal, because the muscles
and other body tissues affect the or-
gan's reaction, he says.
Dr Markowitz has found a way
to study how drugs affect the or-
gans when body tissues are not pres-
ent. „ He removes the heart, lungs
and other vital organs from an ani-
mal as a complete unit. They are
placed in a glass case, heated warm-
er than the animal's body tempera-
ture.
The heart pumps blood, as In life.
The lungs expand and contract,
“breathing’’ air fed to them through
a tube. Occasionally fresh blood Is

racketeer decides to move to Texas,
Both branches of the legislative
have voted to Increase the ranger
force, but neither has yet concurred
In the other’s plan.
The senate voted to Increase the
force by 30 members, thus running
the total to 62. The house decided
the force should be made up of 46
members. Legislators thus Indicated
there was quite a demand for an In-
crease in the force.
Legislators talked about the gang-
ster and the racketeer oi Chicago
when the house began consideration
of a proposal to increase the Texas
ranger force. Representative Harry
Graves of Georgetown stated Chica-
go had declared war on the gangster,
and urged that Texas should plajfo

Members of the house said the
gangster wouldn’t make a stand
