has sent out the following*
notice concerning chain let-

from the story given in stone,

To the visitor who arrives
at Longhorn Cavern State
Park there is in store for him
a trip that will not soon be
forgotten. The park entrance
road sweeps up to the front
of the park administration
building which is the center of
oii activity, and it is from
here that the underground
trip begins. This buliding,
striking for its massive stone
structure and the unusual ex-
cellently split shake roof re-
minds one of the pioneering
days of this Lone Star State,
is located immediately in
front of the Sam Bass En-
trance. Passing through the
rotunda the visitor comes out
on the rear terrace which
overlooks the historic Sam
Bass Entrance. As one travels
the circling walks to the main
stair approach he looks down
to get his first glimpse of the
entrance chamber. He sees a

This is the "proud record of

The Secret Service
To guard the executive of-
fices and the White House in
Washington is the duty of
eighty White House police
and the Secret Service. The
Secret Service is everywhere.

Houston . . . attacked a larger
invading army of Mexicans
. . . under Santa Anna. With
the battle cry, ‘Remember the
Alamo! Remember Goliad"
the Texans charged. The
Texans had asked no quarter
and gave none. The slaughter
was appalling, the victory
complete, and Texas was
free.” Texas was free—and
the freedom of Texas h;id
been won by men from a
couple of dozen or bo states of
the American Union and from
most persons of importance.
Other agents guard the door
to the Presidents’ private of-
fice and still others of this:

corridors of the White House,
for wherever the President

These arc the men wh'v
