Co-operation Given in Survey

Austin, Texas.—Co-operation is be

journalism of the University of Tex-
as to the American Association of
Schools and Departments of Journal-

in the United States which teach
journalism, according to Paul J.
Thompson, chariman of the Univers-

vey is being made by the Association
in collaboration with tha American
Society of Newspaper Editors, in or-

be classified according to the

If every motorist would memorize

Due to the continued high demand,
Chevrolet plants are working on the

business that Chevrolet is doing na-

last ten days of October which

The figures for the period are b6,

October as compared with 24,689 for
the corresponding period of 1928.

Reports of questionnaires that
have been sent to the 300 or 400
journalism schools in this country
will be discussed at the annual con-

enlightening, both to member schools
and to the members of the American

well as to prospective students of
the various schools.
The University is one of the 21

509,472 Tons of
Gypsum Produced
In Texas in 1928

FRISCO,
TEXAS
Austin, Texas.—Gypsum was pro-
duced in Texas during 1928 to the
amount of 509,472 tons, according to
statistics obtained by the Bureau of
Economic Geology at the University
of Texas in co-operation with the
United States Bureau of Mines. The
quantity of manufactured gypsum
products sold was 434,536 short
tons, valued at $3,641,156. The pro-
duction of 1028 was larger than that
of 1927, which was 508,382 tons,
valued at $3,946,368. The largest
use of gypsum is in the manufacture
of neat plaster, more than one-half
of the average tonnage being used
for this purpose; next in quantity
used is for stucco and wall board.
Other smaller uses are for plaster
board and keen cement and various
kinds of tile. Relatively small ship-
ments of unburned gypsum go to ce-
ment plants to control setting of ce-
ment. The use of gypsum for agri-
cultural purposes in Texas is at
present very limited.
London.—An army of meq, who
have been working for years under
the strictest oaths of secrecy are
now completing the new vaults for
the Bank of England. They have
transformed them into a veritable
forteas of steel and stone, a $25,-
000,000 castle which will be able to
defy any attack, even from the air.
Bombs will be useless and under-
ground tunnels will meet with im-
penetrable barriers.
As for attempts on the ground,
engineers estimate it would take
weeks of hard work with dynamite
gnd oxyacetylene torches even to
damage the huge steel doors which
lead to the vaults.
Some of the vaults, buried deep in
the ground are now finished and
they embody the safe-builders’ most
perfect designs, and the most mod-
ern type of reinforced concrete and
steel.
Concrete wills seven feet thick
run around the vaults. Inside the
walls are steel grills built into slabs
of concrete and passages where
armed guards will patrol when the
vaults are full of bullion. The vault
doors are solid steel and weight 12
tons each.
And though they are so delicately
balanced on their hinges that a
child could swing them open, once
they are locked they are strong
enough to withstand the froce of
tons of dynamite.
Honeycombed in the maze of
stone and steel will be scores of
alarms and bells, to shill out
warning as soon as any intruder en-
ters.
The bank has its own water sup-
ply, electricity plant, and army of
guards-men, and in case of attack—
by revolutionary forces, for example

Dollor A Week
Chevrolet Motor
Co. Has Big Increase
In Production
Detroit.—-All October production
records in the history of the Chev-
rolet Motor Company were broken
last month with an output of 85,915
cars and trucks, it was announced at
the central offices here today.
Compared with the output of 65,-
052 units for October of last year,
the 1929 October manufacturing vol-
ume shows a gain of more than 20,-
000 units. It indicates an increase
of more than 900 cars and trucks a
day over the showing for the corre-
sponding month of a year ago.
Chevrolet’s record October per-
formance brings output up to 1,276,
778 units as of November first. This
is more cars than Chevrolet has ever
built in an entire year and is nearly
five times the number of any other
We’re educ a t i n g p e o pi e now
to buy an auto or a cow, or any-
thing on time; why do without a
gramophone, when you can pay each
week a bone, and have one that’s
sublime. Your cerdit’s good for any-
thing, to hear the dealers speak;
you pay perhaps a ruble down, a
a kopeck or a crown, and then
ten cents a week. Why do without
your private ship, if you- should
wish to make a trip to some far dis-
tant sp<jt; there doubtless is a place
in town where you may pay a gil
der down and a buy a handsome
yacht. This is the method up to
date, and to a sad, old-fashioned
skate, it seems a risky thing; while
times are booming right along the
buyer’s life is one sweet song, he’s
happy as a king. There’s nothing
that he may not own. while he can
pay his weekly bone, there’s naught
beyond his reach, and he may train
with plutocrats, and wear the cost-
liest of hats, a necktie that’s a
peach, But if a panic should arrive
and we must struggle to survive, as
By Rev. S. W. Miller.
The last meeting Brother Hicks
helped me in there were two re-
markable incidents occurred; one
was the morning he left me. We
were spending the night with Mr.
Parks, a fine gentleman, who always
sat near the pulpit and led the sing-
ing, as .we ho no instruments then.
Just before time to start to church,
he came in the room and said he
could not go to church that day;
that he had to look after his farm
After a while the young lady came
in and said she was ready to go.
On the way she said to me she
was sorry that her father decided
not to go to church that day, for
she was so anxious to see him con-
verted. She said that she had gone
out and prayed that God would
cause him to come to church that
day. To my great surprise when
opened my service, Mr. Parks was in
his usual place and led the singing.
At the close of my sermon, Miss
Parks came to the altar, but before
kneeling down, she ran to her fath-
er and threw her arms around him
and begged him most pathetically to
go with her, and said, “Let us seek
religion together.” It was a sight.
Angels would have rejoiced to see.
He stood and wept for a while and
then walked out of the house, and
the young lady turned to the altar
and knelt down. She was happily
converted that day. I don’t know
whatever came of the father.
The other was: My steward came
to me while we were eating dinner,
and said to me that he was fearful
that God was going to lay his hand
on Joe; that was his brother. I said,
“Why do you think so?” And he said
that he had been watching him and
his comrades. He said, “Joe is the
leader of that crowd of boys, and he
is refusing to yield to any invita-
tion, and the others are waiting on
him.”
At the evening service, I saw his
cousin ask him to go:with him.to the
altar and he refused. The meeting
closed with tnat service, after every
penitent at the altar was converted.
I began my next meeting the fol-
lowing Saturday' and Joe and his
cousin were there at every service.
The last night of the meeting I and
the two boys were walking along
with our arms around each others
shoulders. I said, “Joe, don’t you
know you are a sinner?” He said he
did. I said, “Don’t you want to be
religious?” He said he had rather be
religious than anything in the
world. I said, “Why don’t you turn

everything loose and give your heart
to God and, let him save you?” He
said he just could not get the con-
sent of his mind to do so.
That night I pled with him and
others feverently, but to no avail.
The meeting closed and Joe went
home.
The next morning his mother went
into his room to wake him for
breakfast, and as she opened the
door, he said, “Mother, come and sit
down by me.” He rehearsed the
night before and said, "Mother,
Brother Miller plead with me
earnestly to become religious but I
would not yield, and now, mother, I
am going to die, and am lost. In
three days he was buried.
From this work I was sent to the
Lamar circuit and in our district
sewards’ meeting, I was greatly em-
barrased. Each charge said they
would pay the Elder; so Hollyspring
circuit said, “We will take so much
as we have a single man on our
work.” Then said, “Lamar ought to
cetane up as they had a single man
also.” My steward rose up and said,
“He will not be single long." The
Elder said he has not said anything
about it to me. Col. Thomlinson
said, "He told me that he had talk-
ed with his Elder about it. This
placed me in a very bad attiude, so
I was compelled to speak out and
say I had talked with my former
Elder.
Over 500,000 American
Farms Use Electricity

Six years ago 200,000 American
farms were being served by electric
light and power companies. Today
the total is well over 600,000, a gain
of 150 per cent within that period.
And rural electrification is proceed-

time within the six years.
