A Price That Is Revolu-
tionary
We realized that a small reduc-
tion in price would not be enough.
It must be revolutionary—drastic.
And we wanted to be able to offer
this plant on very easy terms—so
that every farm home, whether
owned or rented, could have the
benefits that are so much appre-
ciated on the 200,000 farms where
Delco-Light is now in use.
And Now It’s Ready
Today the new Delco-Light is
ready. It is more than we had
hoped. Quantity production—
In building your new
house or improving your
old one by paying cash
to your contractor. We
will furnish the money
and you can get the dis-
count. Come in and let
us help you.

Q)VERCOATS In April.
• Early Wednesday morning
business men. of Austin who had
been wearing palm beaches and
other lighter apparel resurrected
their winter suits and several
were seen wearing overcoats as
they came to work.
Following the general rain of
Tuesday night, temperatures in
Austin and central Texas dropped.
At ten o’clock downtown ther-
mometers registered 65 degrees.
During the night Tuesday the
mercury dropped to 55 degrees,
the lowest here in many weeks.
A report from the Panhandle
section said the temperature
dropped to 40 degrees, while Dal-
las and Waco reported tempera-
tures of 50.
AS THE world’s largest manu-
al facturers of farm electric
plants, we have been working for
months on the development of a
lighting plant that could be sold
at a radically lower price—a price
so low that it would bring dec*
tricity within the reach of every
farm home in America.
We knew that a million farm
homes were ready for electricity—
that a million farmers realized
the money-saving, time-saving
value of electricity—that a million
farm women had learned that
electricity would lighten the bur*
dens of farm life and bring new
happiness and new opportunities
to their families.
The interfraternity track and field
championship of Texas university
will be determined Wednesday and
Thursday afternoons on the sta-
dium track. A number. of the fra-
ternities have combinations.

THE AUSTIN STATESMAN
===========
"Hello, hello! Bend yo water
work® out right now; meh house
am on tire!” And then, ban, went
the recener in the ear ot the Ure-
man. *
That is the sort of alarm that is
constantly coming In to the central
fire station, says Chief Clatnce D
Woodward.
"Austin is actually worse off now
for a fire alarm system than it was
ten years ago," said the chief. “At
that time we depended on the tele-
phone system, just as we do now,
but when any one called the fire
department a phone in every sta-
tion in town was connec ed and a
man in each station listened in. If
one station got the address wrong,
another got it right. Iast summer
we got an alarm we thought was
on Sixth street and went chasing
out, only to find that it was Six-
teenth street.
- 'Bids on construction of the road
between Manor and Austin will
likely be called for about May 1.
is ip announced by Judge George 8.
Matthews, head of the commission-
ers court. Judge Matthews in a
recent conference with Chairman
Frank Lanham of the state high-
way commission was Informed that
plans for the proposed road are nov
nearing completion. Should bids be
called for May 1, construction will
start on or about June 1.
work'bn the Round Rock road is
also expected to be started within
the next month or six weeks, Judge
Matthews said. Construction on
this road is awaiting the approval
of plans, particularly the type of
road, by the highway commission.

Back in 1874 people rode on mixed
train® between Houston and Auatin
and it requlred from 12 to 11 hour®
to make the trip on the Houston
and Texas Central railroad.
This information was revealed in
time card No. 31, d ted May 24.
1874, presented to W.,. Smith,
division freight and passenger
agent. Tuesday by R. O. Crosby.
The Houston and Texas Central
had been running Into Austin for
two years. Only second and third
.' class trains were operated between
here and Houston, the second riass
f trains being mixed while the third
class trains were designated as local
gfreight trains to Austin and Gid-
dings from Houston.
g In 1874 regular trains were oper-
ated between Houston and a point
known as Red River City, The line
between Denison and Red River
City, about three miles long, has
• been abandoned for many years.
7 Smith is sending the time card to
Houston, where it will be framed
and hung in the general offices.

Dr. Splawn To Be
Inaugurated June 8
Commencement exercises of the
university will be of more than
usual interest this year because
they will be held in conjunction
with the inauguration ceremonies
for President W. M. W. Splawn.
. The 42nd annual commencement
will begin on Saturday, June 6,
when class-day will be devoted to
the reunion of many former stu-
dents. On Sunday, June 7, Bishop
Edwin D. Mouzon, of Nashville,
Tenn., will deliver the baccalaureate
sermon. On Monday night, June
8, commencement proper will be
held in the memorial stadium,
where Dr. W. M. W. Splawn will
be formally inaugurated as presi-
dent, and degrees will be conferred
on the graduates. *

Cost of Installing a modern sys-
tem to cover the business section
and South Austin where there are
few phones would be less than
850,000, said the chief, if the city
bought wire and pedestals direct
and installed the system itself.
Woodward says people often con-
fuse the fire number with the ad-
vertising department of the Ameri-
can-Statesman and tried to give the
firemen advertisements to rt/n in
the papers.
*Tho saving in insurance pre-
mums alone would amount to about
$7000 each year.” said the chief.
A representative of a leading fire
alarm system is now in Austin
making estimates of th© cost of
installing a system and will submit
his findings to the city council as
soon as they are finished, Wood-
ward says.
f Receipts from the Texas relay
games held at the Texas memorial
stadium on March 27 totaled 83400,
Athletic Director Leo Theodore
Bellmont of the university says. Of
this amount $2500 was rebated to
schools participating, Illinois get-
ting $600 alone for its eleven-man
, team.
L... Bellmont recently returned from
a trip to Chicago and talked to
Knute Rockne, Notre Dam© coach,
who' said he would send his track
| men to Austin next year.

Completion of the few links in the
Houston-Austin highway this sum-
mer will place Austin on the main
traveled route across the southern
portion of Texas, according to Ben
Fromme, chairman of the good
roads committee of the chamber of
commerce.
This will be the only complete
highway across the state from
Houston westward below Dallas,
250 miles to the north. The only
other highway leading from Hous-
ton westward has at least three
sections of ten miles or more not
completed and much longer sections
on alternate routes.
This means, Fromme says, that
auto tourists and others making the
trip from Houston to Kan Antonio
and points in the west will come
to Austin and proceed from here
instead of following the southern
rout© to San Antonio.
Thousands of'tourists will come
to Austin instead of following other
highways, Fromme says.
