tributed to the respective schools cer-
tificates of merit earned by the fol-
lowing Texas schools:

There’s a spider

Wife: “I knew you wouldn’t say
anything nice about my new dress.”
The anniversary of Texas Inde-
pedence will be observed Saturday
of this week, April 21. This is
strictly a home enterprise—this par-
ticular holiday—and one that should
thrill every Texan.
The Republic of Texas was formed
and its constitution adopted on
March 2, 1836. The declaration had
36 signers, but as it was drawn dur-
ing the siege of the Alamo, and four
days before its fall, it bore the name
of no hero of the Alamo, for there
the last “roll call” was answered and
the last signature sealed with blood
and unlike Thermopylae, it had not
even one messenger of defeat.
Their declaration of Independence
and their articles of constitution
were patterned in the main after
the American Declaration and de-
fended by them with the same spirit
and courage that characterized the
men of 1776.
The Texans found themselves cut
off from the world, persecuted by
trained armies of superior numbers
and equipment and supplies, their
ports blockaded, their borders garri-
soned—they could not flee. They
must not starve or surrender them-
selves as abject slaves to a craven
race. Appeal to “arms and the God
of hosts,” was all that was left them.
A succession of battles ensued, chal-
lenging the admiration of the world
and culminating in the siege and
fall of the Alamo, where Crockettt,
Bowie, Travis and many others as
brave and true, led the band of 150
fearless defenders until every man
had fallen, presenting a scene un-
equalled in all the annals of war.
San Jacinto Victory April 21.
The battle of San Jacinto quickly
followed on April 2st of the same
year. Here Gen. Sam Houston com-
manded some 600 untrained fighters
against a Mexican force of some
1700 trained troops with the result-
ing loss of two killed and twenty-
three wounded cf the Texans and
about 700 dead and all others
wounded or captured except 40 men.
Thus this great struggle ended when
on the next day Gen. Santa Anna,
dictator of Mexico and commander-
in-chief of the army, was captured
and brought before Gen. Houston
as he lay wounded on his cot under
a live oak tree.
Santa Anna pleaded for his life
and Houston’s men would have exe-
cuted him, but out of the great brain
and heart of Houston, came the an-
swer, “No, Gen. Santa Anna is my
prisoner of war, and as such he must
be treated,” and he was sent under
escort to his own capital Mexico
City via New Orleans, Washington
City, as the route affording to him
the greatest security.
Surely Gen. Houston could have
done no less, without stooping to the
level of his brutal antagonists. Aft-
erwards Gen. Andrew Jackson, the
harvest man and greatest soldier
America had ever known, then presi-
dent of the United States, said to
Gen. Houston: “Houston, by the
eternal you did right, both from the
standpoint of principle and policy.”
And when Jackson said it was right,
that made it right even though it
was wrong. (You have perhaps no-
ticed that there are slight differen-
ces between Gen. Jackson and my-
self. But one of the most striking
contrasts is, that when Jackson
swore, he swore “By the Eternal”
but when I swear, I swear by Gen.
Jackson.)
methodically posed for pictures, an-

tania.
After Prize Money.
Araki left Tokio April 6, a few
hours ahead of Ryukichi Matsui, who
set out in the opposite direction, with
a prize of $1,500 awaiting the first
to arrive back at the Japanese cap-
ital. The loser is to get $500. The
prizes have been offered by a Jap-
anese newspaper, the Jiji Shimpo.
The two men were furnished expense
money of $2,000 each.
The two Japanese are using only
the regular means of transportation,
which includes mail planes, passenger
trains, motor routes and steamers.
They do not hope to better the record
of 28 days, 14 hours and 36 minutes,
set by Linton Wells and Edward W.
Evans in 1926, he said, as the record-
holders used special transportation
means. He estimated the trip would
take him 34 days.
Araki was educated in this coun-
try. He is wearing only clothes man-
ufactured in Japan, the only foreign
articles he carries being a safety
razor and a camera.
TWO WORLDS
There is a big world filled with men,
Mountains and rolling seas,
And majesties the poets pen,
Strange plants and curious trees,
And here are lands where monarehs
rule,
And things far off I learned at
school.
The morning paper brings to me,
The tragic: news and quaint
Concerning men I never see,
Of villain and of saint,
But save the passing smile or sigh,
Little concerned with it am I.
They say I can not dwell apart
From this great world of things,
That I am of it brain and heart
And one with far off kings.
But scenes which I shall never see
Never become a part of me.
My world is but a tiny space
Wherein I move about,
It is a long familiar place
Where certain children shout,
And certain Summer blossoms grow,
And every plant and bird I know.
My world is peopled not by kings
But neighbors kind and true;
ouTcJloiJier
is thinking ot you.

ROUND-THE-WORLD JAVANESE
RACER EMBARKS FOR

New York, April 20.—Toichiro
Araki, eastbound contestant in a two-
man race around the world from To-
kio, was on his way across the At-
lantic on the Aquitania Thursday
after arriving in New York two hours
ahead of his schedule.
The 34-year-old Japanese engineer
hopped out of a mail plane at Hadley
Field, New Brunswick, N. J., Wednes-
day afternoon, shaved in the presence
of the crowd there to greet him,
dashed to the city by automobile,

The Best In Town
My mind is filled with countless
things
Which yesterday I knew,
For each of us, two worlds there are:
One where we dwell, and one afar.
—Edgar A. Guest.
Mr. Rockefeller gave $1 to a Pull-
man porter without requiring the
porter to raise an equal amount to
match it.
As a general thing, when a child
loooks like its mother and acts like
its father it gets fewer spankings
than it needs.
