Practically every school in the
city has had general repairs and
cleanup work this summer, more
extensively than in several years.
Foundation work at the high
school is the only remaining work
to be done before the opening day.
A number of teachers have ai-
rived in the city, arranging their
affairs prior to the opening, in-
cluding Logan Stollenwerck, Ben-

Z. Hughes and Otis Hilliard. The
remainder are expee' ed early next

transfers to bring along their cred-
its from other schools so that
classification might be made. He
said .however, that students would
not be matriculated at that time,
but must wait until the" formal op

A large number of teaching va-

filled and the faculty of each

LONDON—Great Britain came
to closer grips with Japan over
the incident of the shooting of
their ambassador, Sir Hughe Hug-
essen last week and demanded of
Japan that she apologize for
what is termed a "deliberate and
deplorable attack on non-combat-
ants."
The note also demanded that
future attacks be prevented and
those responsible for the shooting
of the diplomat given suitable
punishment.
It was declared that the affair
was not an accident and England
so regarded the affair,
Wide speculation exists as to
whether Japan would agree to the
J demand of Great Britain, as out-
right apology and punishment at
this time would be a major blow.

Ticket Agent J. E. Johnson re-
sumed his duties at the station
Monday morning after a two
weeks vacation spent with Mrs.
Johnson at Mexico City and other
points of old Mexico.
Mr. Johnson said Mexican trains
are no comparison with those of
the Katy and although the crews
are courteous, they are still under
par of the Katy's trained men.
Mexican conductors and porters
speak English fluently and strive
in every way to accommodate the
passengers.
The larger part of the vacation
of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson was
spent in Mexico City although a
sight seeing tour was taken to
Pueblo, southwest of Mexico City.
One remarkable incident that
struck the couple while aboard the
foreign train was that although
there were plenty babies aboard
not one of them cried during the
whole trip.
A new work train has been
placed in service on the Northend
division at Worth, Okla.
Knotty Mosse, whose mother
calls him Arthur, Jr., is leaving

besides acquiring an education. He

with the group last year and may
make it even more this year. He
should do alright witfi the Rat-
tlers. In his senior year with
the Denison Jackets he was awar-
ded a blanket as the best spirited
player. He has been playing this
summer with the Denison Cotton
Millers.

left out. However beauty is in
profusion and the lovelies are very
easy on the eyes. If Buck had

the film would have been a knock-
