Baylor Bears fell an easy prey to the
Texas Longhorn five last night in the
second game, Varsity taking the big
end of the 1 9to 11 score and thereby
incidentally fattening their T. L A. A.
average.
Weis bush was the life of the opposi-
tion last night, making nine of the 11
points made by the Bears and doing ex-
cellent work on the defensive.
Thompson and Ditemar played the
beat game for Texas.
The game last night was the first
one this season in which there was not
a distinct come-back. Although the
Bears were the first to score and got
the Longhorns in a 8 to 0 hole at the
outset, this was quickly overcome and
throughout the most of the game the
Varsity five had a safe lead.
Two other games wer played last
night in the intra-mural series. The
Jackson boarding house five defeated
the Boes boarding house team by the
score of 21 to 6, making the fifth con-
secutive victory for the Stonewallers.
The freshmen co-eds succeeded in

the performance of Goodyear s-v’s is
contained in a letter just received from
a milling company of Dallas.
Their letter reads:
“On Dec. 14, 1914, you equipped our
4-ton truck with four 36x6 8-V tires
for dual rear wheels. Today they have
run 10,233 miles and look good for an-
other 10,000. Our truck weighs 9,500
pounds and We load 5 tons.”
This record is indicative of the factor
of safety and economy built into these
tires. Bearing a weight of 20,000 pounds
—a tremendous overload—for more
than two years, with the tires only half
worn out, Is a record which speaks vol-
umes for the Goodyear product.

truck—the most efficient carrier since
the locomotive, was the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio. In
the evolution of the solid truck tire,
this company, with its exhaustive ex-
perimental research facilities, has play-
ed a most prominent part.
In many respect* the introduction of
the motor truck has not been unlike
that of the steam locomotive some
ninety years ago. When the locomo-
tive was ushered in to a wondering and
incredulous world, its sponsors enter-
tained fanciful visions of its future
importance as a carrier, but their “iron
horse” was still little more than a giant
toy. Road conditions—where there
were roads-absolutely prohibited its
use.
Bo the Idea of a specially constructed
track and a wheel with a side flange
or "tire" at railroad men know it, con-
fining it to the track, was conceived.
The first rails were of hardwood strips,
which, however, proved impracticable
on account of their short life. Then
the expedient of placing a strip of iron
on these wooden rails was tried, with
scarcely any better success. The iron

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—Submarine activ-
ity tended today to weaken the wheat
market. The bears gave ome attention
also to a statement by the Hungarian
prime minister that the Central.Pow-
ers were still ready to negotiate for
peace. Trading, however, was greatly
restricted in volume, and it took but
little purchasing to bring about rallies.
Opening prices, which ranged from %c
decline to %c advance, with May at
>1.73 to 81.74 %, July at $1.47% to $1,471;
were followed by a material setback all
around but then by temporary upturns.
Corn showed relative strength, al-
though dipping at one time in sympathy
with wheat. Argentine advices were
said to be too late to be of much bene-
fit to the crop.
After opening unchanged to %c high-
er, the market reacted.” to a moderate
extent but soon hardened again.
Oats took the same course as corn.
Trade was very light.
Packers buying gave firmness to pro-
visions. The best demand was for ribs.
Announcement that no convoy would
be given to the American steamer St.
Louis and that she would not sail to-
day acted later as a handicap to the
wheat bulls, and so too did signs of
increasing railway congestion both east
and west of Chicago. The close was
unsettled at the same ns yesterday’s
finish to 1c lower, with May at 31.59%
to 81.70 and July $1.46% to $1,46%.
In lter dealings the lightness of corn
receipts operated as an influence
against any material fall of prices. The
close was nervous at 1c decline to He
advance as compared with yesterday’s
finish .

NEW YORK, Feb 7.—The cotton
market was very nervous and irregular
today. Business wasquiet. being most-
ly of a trade or professional charac-
ter. and prices consequently felt the
effects of comparatively small orders.
The opening was steady at a decline of
7 points to an advance of 8 points, gen-
erally 1 to 7 points lower, the active
months sold 9 to 15 points under last
night’s close after the call as a result
of further liquidation, and New Orleans,
Liverpool and Wall Street selling.
Rather a sharp early break in New
Orleans probably accounted for part of
the pressure here, but there was qulte
a good deal of bullish talk around the
local ring and prices rallied several
points from the lowest before the end
of the first hour.
Trading remained very quiet during
the middle of the afternoon with prices
sagging off to about Inst night’s closing
figures under scattered realising.
Reports that the British government
had decided to offer low hinsurance
rates to neutral steamers in order to
stimulate trade with the British Isles,
were followed by a sharp rally later in
the morning. May contracts sold up
to 11.77c and the general list to a net
gain of 12 to 17 points. Demand then
tapered off ngain and the market was
quiet early in the noon hour with prices
• to 7 points off from the best.

The feature of her singing was her
naturalness in interpreting her songs

Answer,” by Rachmanioff was de-
lightfully done. In every song, Mme.
Gluck need to good advantage her
charming personality, and gracious-
new. Every word was enunciated dis-
tinctly. and precise phrasing increased
the enjovment of her listeners, who
crowded the opera house from top to
bottom, there being over a hundred
chairs on the stage.
The folk songs were her best num-
bers. In these she rather talked the
words, thus bringing out the distinct
characteristics of the various coun-

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 7.—After a
rise of 1 to 3 points on the strongest
months on the opening call the cottou
market here fell off today and at the
end of the first half hour of business
stood 8 to 31 points below yesterday’s
close. The market was still dominated
by the uncertainties of international
politics.
The market turned dull and easy
after the noon hour. At 1:30 the trad-
ing months were 1 point above the level
of yesterday’s final figures.
The decline was widened 18 to 21
points on the most active months by
the middle of the morning when a
Strebig buying movement resulted from
the rumor that England was preparing
to extend its low insurance rates to
neutral shipping, with the view of en-
couraging continued exports from this
country. Prices bulged about 80 points,
standing toward noon 17 to 20 points
above yesterday’s close.
The market closed steady at an ad-
vance of 2 to 4 points.

CHEFOO, Shantung Province, China,
Jan. 5.—Three hundred persons suf-

storm near this city.
Through the heroic effort of Captain
Stampe, a Dutch officer connected with
th« Netherlands harbor improvement
company, seventy-five of the passen-
gers and crew who clung to the storm-
swept ship for four days and sur-
vived the low temperature, were fi-
nally rescued.
NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—Irregularity
was Indicated by the movement of
leading stocks at today's opening.
United States Steel fell over a point
on numerous sales of 1000 to 3000
shares with 1% for Canadian Pacific
over two points for Crucible Steel and
one each for some of the shippings
and prominent specialties. Bethlehem
Steel lost five points. These setbacks
I were partly balanced by oen point
gains for New Haven, Baldwin Loco-
motive and Pittsburgh Coal and two
points for North American. Coppers
moved within very narrow limits.
Stronger tendencies developed by the
end of the first half hour, all the war
issues rising briskly.
Further liquidation- of rails, general-
ly regarded as of foreign origin, fea-
tured the intermediate session with
pronounced weakness in Canadian Pa-
cific. Specialties as a whole, except
oils, were subject to moderate reces-
sions.
Increased pressure on rails provoked
selling of other representative stocks,
steel and other seasoned industrials re-
acting 1 to 8 points. The closing was
