The students from both state schools,
the College of Industrial Arts and the
North Texas Normal, have left for
their homes in various parts of Texas
to spend the Christmas Imlidays with
their parents, and as a result nearly
all the outbound trains were loaded to
their capacity thru to the platforms.
Nearly all of the trains were carrying
extra coaches, but the number of pas-
sengers exceeded the extent of their
preparations and many of the students
have had to ride miles standing. A
large majority of the crowd Friday
were Normal students, but a few of the
C. I. A s who lived in distant parts of
the state were given permission by the
college management to leave that
morning.
Thursday morning applications were
distributed to the students who had
long distances to go, to facilitate the
making out of the tickets by lhe
agents. In this way much time was
saved at the windows as all the stu-
dent had to do was call for the ticket
which the agent had ready.
The rush at the ticket windows be-
gan Thursday afternoon, and since
that time the jam has been nearly con-
tinuous. Even with extra help at the
windows, procuring a ticket was a
rather serious business and the one
who was able to procure his passage
within a reasonable time was exceed-
ingly lucky. There was some complaint
about the rough jostling by the crowd.
The delays in the-time of nearly all
the trains aded to the confusion
uncertainty of the occasion.
The checking of baggage was
tended to in the waiting room of
depot, and in this way the students
were able to get through with that
task without much trouble.
The ticket sales continued through
all of Friday and late in the day Sat-
urday and during that time there was
almost a continuous line waiting to
purchase them. The crowd was rfiore
orderly Friday and Saturday and very
little complaint of jostling was heard.
Friday afternoon the trains were worse
crowded than at any time previous be-
cause all the C. I. A. girls were free
to leave and many of the Normal stu-
dents had been delayed. One of the
railroad employes exaggerated very
little when he said that they were even
riding the cow-catcher on the engine
in order to save waiting for another
train. By noon Saturday practically
all the students that are going home to
spend Christmas had been able to pur-
chase
train.

Croup and Cough Remedy
Croup is a terrible disease, it attacks
children so suddenly they are very apt
to choke unless given the proper rem-
edy at once. There is nothing better
in the world than Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery. Lewis Chamberlain, of Man-
chester, Ohio, writes about his chil-
dren: “Sometimes in severe attacks
we were afraid they would die, but
since we proved what a certain rem-
edy Dr. King’s New DiseoVFry Is, we
have no fear. We rely on it for croup,
coughs and eolds.” So can you. 50c
