surancs Commission and triplicate
- retained in my office for future ref-
erence. Also certified copies of reports
v showing insanjtation of certain places
were sunt to the State Board of Health
Numerous premises in the residence
district are still in xery unsanitary
condition and some rigid proceedings
must be taken to force certain parties
to clean their premises from tin cans
rubbish and all kinds of unsightly
.4 accumulation. A good many closets are
without drop lids which is very un-
sightly and unsanitary. Have given
numerous orders to have same reme-
died but am unable to get over the
whole city in a month .or two.
As to the trash hauling in the busi-
ness district we've had considerable
trouble to get same hauled off in the
first weeks of the month but the fire
which Mayor Looney put under the
trash hauler brought very good re-
sults in the last days of the month and
everything is working; nicely at pres-
ent! "We are having considerable trou-
ble with some wrho are throwing and
sweeping rubbish out; the hack door
their junk and rubhish along the rpad
to toe dump ground ana scauer an
over the quickest way to get rid of it.
Some regulations must be made or we
will soon have no place to dump.
I have investigated the situation of
the Eastern Produce Company in re
gard to insanitation. I was promised
that a thorough clean up would be
made every day and all filtli hauled
off daily. I promised to give them a
30 day trial."

Albert R. Mace at present-sheriff o
Lampasas county r was appointed first

known to many citizens of Brown-
wood as beinjr a first-class official in
every respect and he comes to Browtf

the iRed Cross were notfied today in
advices received from Red Cross offi
cials at Southwestern Divisional head-
quarters att'St; Louis. The campaign
will be known as the "Fourth Red
Cross JRoll Call.'
Red Cross officers at national head-
quarters of the organization im Wash-
ington made known that as the. result
of the roil' call last fall the American
Red Cross now has 10000 members
with returns still coming in. Thia is
more than twenty times the prc-wnr
membership of the society and- of
course does not take into account the
14000000 school children members of
the Junior Red Cross.
In fixing the) date of the annual en-
rollment of members explanation was
made on the decision of the Red Cross
to make each "Armistice Day" the oc-
casion for renewing popular allegiance
to the Red Cross through dollar annu-
al memberships. Thus the Fourth
Roll Call will have for its primary
purpose maintenance of as nearly uni-
versal membership as possible to carry-
on. the peace-time responsibilities
of the Red Cross.
These obligations include continua
tion of measures in behalf of Ameri-
ca's veterans of the war particularly
the disabled; service for the peace-
time army and navy; development of
stouter national resistance to disease
through health centers increase of the
country's nursing resources and Red
Cross co-operation with official health
agencies; continued preparedness for
disaster relief; Home Service and
community work; and completion of
relief work among the war-exhausted
and disease-ridden peoples overseas.

To the Federation of "Women's Clubs.
Dear Co-Worker:
First as I again write to you after
the spring meetings! I must tell you
an important action taken by our
Board of Directors in Houston April
13th. (Miss Decca Lamar West was
unanimously elected official historian
for the Texas Federation of Women's
Clubs.
At one of our recent conventions a
newspaper in a hostess town said:
"The women; who now are our guests
are women who do things." Club re-
ports given during these spring meet-
ings verified this statement. They
were of work planned or accomplish-
ed. Display of dress was not thought
of; most of them being old anyway.
Social pleasures came not first
Ihough the mingling together was a
Joy to all the women.
Community Service Thrift and
" Miss Holland's Recital.
Long before the hour for the curtain
to rise Friday night of last week the
auditorium of the high school building
was crowded to capacity and many
people were even unable to gain ad-
mittance further than the top of the
steps when Miss Lena Holland pre-
sented her music and voice pupils in
recital. If there was any criticism
other than that of praise for this tal-
ented lady and her pupils the reporter
has never heard it. From the time the
curtain went up until the final scene
it was one round of perpetual eujqy-
ment even the smallest child on the
program demonstrating beyond ques
tion that with the natural talent that

en proper training in music and voice

has repeatedly stated that in Van Al-
styne was talent among the little peo-
ple that could not be surpassed any-
where and with competent trainers it
would he astonishing to the most crit-
ical. And Miss Holland knows how
to train no one knows this better than
those who have witnessed her recitals
of the past. How fortunate indeed is
our town to have such talented in-
structors in it. We understand that
Miss Holland will remain with.-iuj "ah-

derful success for her n future than

'marks like these showed the spirit of
the delegates.

have heard what I heard and seen
what 3 saw. About five thousand
miles I traveled in six weeks going to
the meeting of the Board of Directors
and to. the six district conventions.
'Know Texas first" is my advice to
those of us seeking knowled ?e. "See
Texas first" I would say to those who
would .a wandering go.
Among the many encouraging fea-
tures of these district conventions
three particularly impressed me. The
large number of delegates and visitors
attending. (Second the many young
women representing clubs and their
enthusiasm and knowledge shown in
would be permitted to collect at thel discussions. Third the development
of the women in the two years since
I had gone to these meetings; their
increased realization of responsibility
and their increased desire for-service
if our club husbands brothers and
sons once doubted the wisdom of wo-
men's clubs they no longer doubt
they now realize that we as they are
working for Texas' good. They were
present at many of the meetings; they
showed a desire to help us in our work
and to secure our co-operation in their
endeavors.
