cline an invitation to accom-
pany them on such a delight-
ful trip, but "when duty
whispers low thou must”
pleasures must be given sec-
ond place while there are
urgent tasks to do. When even-
ing drops down it is satisfying
to know we still possess the
courage .of self denial. If we
keep our imagination alive we
may climb the far off Pyra-
mids, drink of the healing wa-
ter of the Ozarks, vision Carls-
bad Caverns and find content-
ment at the same time in "the
little hills of home.”
These few lines by Wilma
Crittenden on "Courage,” are
full of truth. i
The brave man does not run
from life—
Afraid to take its blows— .
Nor hesitate to sound its
depths,
And feel its direst throes.
The brave man does not take
the joy
And shirk the price of living—
Thinking he should find a way
To avoid, some how, the giving.
The brave man does not end it
all.
At just his share of sorrow—
The brave man is the man who
stays
To face the dark tomorrow.

Find Unusual Way of
Financing Education at
University of Texas
Austin, Tex. (UP)—Harold
H. Webber of Austin and
Charles A. Watson of Hughes
Springs have found an unusual
way of financing their educa-
tion at the University of Tex-
as.
They run an undertaking
establishment for cats.
Since they established their
“Felix mortuary” in a garage,
they have embalmed and sold
87 dead cats. Since Jan. 1 the
business has paid the college
expenses of both embalmers.
Webber and Watson sell the
dead cats to zoology students
in the university. They have no
trouble finding buyers; their
only difficulty is finding cats.
Prices vary according to the
type of embalming. A cat em-
balmed for one laboratory pur-
pose is not suitable for anoth-
er. For instance, those used
in studying circulatory sys-
tems are injected with yellow
pigments, while those for oth-
er purposes are treated dif-
ferently.

Rare and Interesting
Volume Stark Library
University of Texas
Austin, Tex. (UP)—One of
the most prized volumes in
the Stark Library at the Uni-
versity of Texas is the work of
a celebrated English mathe-
matician. But it does not deal
with mathematics, and the
name of the mathematician.
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, is
not on it.
Instead, tne title of the
book is “Alice Underground,”
and the author's name is given
as Lewis Carroll. To most per-
sons the story of "Alice Un-
derground” is familiar as
“Alice in Wonderland.”
The book in the university
library is the first version of
the famous tale written by
Dodgson, who signed his fic-
tion with the name of Carrol!.

Early marriages were success-
ful when Mrs. Mary Thomp-
son chose her husbend 60
years ago, but she advises
girls not to tiy them new. “I
think that people who marry
between the ages of 20 and 25
are likely to stay married for
life,” she said on her 80th
birthday. 'T don’t believe in
divorces.” Mis. Thompson was
married when she was 17, but
in those days a girl who stayed
single until she was' 20 was
considered “an old maid/’
Now that times have changed
she advises postponing mar-
.riages a few years.
