This unusual achievement was accomplished by the mere fact that Austin
American Want Ads bring results.
A want ad, to have value, must bring QUICK response. And, unless a news-
paper has not only character and solidity, but a large circulation, a large net paid
local circulation, this quick response Is not reasonably expected.
Response from want ads must be DIRECT. There’s no possibility of error in
this. If you place a “Room for Rent” ad in Austin American today, tomorrow you
begin to get callers and phone calls galore. That’s DIRECT response. The same is
true with something that you have to sell or trade, etc.
MR. DISPLAY ADVERTISER—Any medium that will bring forth QUICK, DI-
RECT results from want ads will do the same for your store advertising.

temperature.
For east Texas: Wednesday fair.
For west Texas: Wednesday partly
cloudy, probably showers in the
Panhandle.
Weather conditions: Areas of high
or relatively high air pressure overlie
the north Pacific slope, eastern Colo-
rado and the Texas Panhandle and
the upper lake region.
The northwestern area of low pres-
sure has overspread the western
Canadian provinces and the north-
ern plains states, the southwestern
disturbance remains central over the
upper Rio Grande valley and the
eastern depression overlies the east
gulf and south Atlantic coasts. As
a result of these disturbances rains
or thunder showers have occurred
in the* south Atlantic states, in the
Mississippi valley, In the central and
southern plains states and at widely
scattered stations in the northwest-
ern portion of the observation field.
On account of the general east-
ward movement of these conditions
fair weather with no decided change
in temperature is indicated for this
vicinity tonight and Wednesday.

formally opened for the students of
Texas.
During the first session there were
enrolled at the university 318 ■in-
dents and thirteen members of the
faculty, or a ratio of a little more
than sixteen students for every in-
structor. Of these students eninety-
one were residents of Austin, and
more than 100 residents of Travis
county. Among the other stuaents
were reprenentatives from practically
all sections of the state, less than
five coming from each of the more
important cities of the state A study
of the personnel of the students of
early days discloses such names as
Albert Sidney Burleson and Thomas
Watt Gee gory, both of whom are now
members of President Wilson’s cab-
inet, as students during the first ses-
sion. Several Austin studenU were
among those to receive honors for
scholarship, Clarence T. Gribble and
Bamuel C. Red being rated as pro-
ficiency students, and Miss Jes516
Andrews, L. M. Dabney, 8. M Morris
and Samuel C. Red being classined
as distinguished proficients.
All classes were held in the one

Roberts Appolnts Regents.
Acting on the authority vested in
him by the constitution, Governor O.

DAYS DAINTIEST DISH
COOKERY If BECOME A NOBLE SaEN"
A broad vision, a depth of purpome,
and profound desire to moot a need
which was growing greater with the
years of the first settementa of Texas
is the splendid foundation which the’
tathers of the University of Texas
laid for the achool destined to send
forth from its portals thousands of
sterling men and women. The Uni-
versity of Texas did not originate as
the product of one man’s brain.
The fathers of Texas, wise in their
day and generation, protested strongly
against the lack of proper educational
facilities, when they drew up the
Texas Declaration of Independence
which absolved and separated the em-
pire state for all time from Mexican
domination. The lack of proper edu-
cational advantages was one of the
main reasons for the revolution
against Mexico. The framers of the
constitution of the Republic of Texas
realised the necessity of higher edu-
cation even in that day of turmoil
and strife. For the influx ot new
blood from the older states of the
union made imperative a development
of ideals and conceptions regarding
education, and the fathers of the Re-
public above all others realised this
I keenly.
The state constitution. ®o widely
I quoted of late, was written to provide
1 for a state university, "a univbcalty of
I the first class,'’ supported by the state.
' very reads like a romance. To those
versity reads likea romance. To thise
who have been fortunate enough to
have been members of its student
body or faculty, the memories of days
gone by impress themselves upon the
hearts of Texans, and men and wo-
men from othsr states, like the breath
of a living fire which the passing of
years cannot quench.
The first actual provision made by
the Texas lawmakers for a university
dates as far back as 1889, when the
congress of the Republic of Texas do-
nated 331,400 acres of land for a uni-
versity fund. This land was located
in Cooke, Grayson and McLennan
counties. However, land was worth
little in those days when settlers were
granted vast territories almost for the
asking, and no ffort was made to
improve or dispoee of the university
tract.
During the administration of Gov-
ernor Runnels, after Texas had been
admitted to the union, the legisature
passed an act adding to the appro-
priation of land 1100,000 in United
States bonds owned by the state, and
setting aside one section out of every
ten that had been formerly set aside
as an ineentive to railway building.
This was in 1851, and before definite

The two famiiles had taken din

Brown, who loved chndren end had

about Winifred. It almoat made
Helen cry at times to see her de-

When the automodile trip was

Helen and Warren first and then
they had all armed that a party of

“Oh. no," denied Mr. Holmes
stoutly. “I slept pretty well; our

“Yes nee." explained Bunty,

They bed stopped st several places

that they might find something dif-

“We can pey e dollar and e half

"Well, who minds s few mos-

Curtis, I'm afraid those white shoea

are entirely too grand tor an affair
of thia kind."
"I told you eo, Helen," Warren
said in hla most dictatorial fashion.
Helen flushed; she hated to bare
Warren apeek to her that way be-
fore strangers, but she said noth-
ing, certain that the entire affair
would pass over more quickly than
It she retorted.
"She always wants to wear her

"Warren, I won't let you say

Helen had bought It when the
mustard-colored garments were just

was good aa well as the way it was
made. Her shoes were her only
extravagance end they were her
good white ones.
She bed worn them because she
had no idea where they would stop

The tiny ferry which carried
