MEMORABLE PASSAGE: “If
those who gave their lives that De-
mocracy might live should come to
life again and see wlrnt is going oh
now, they would cry out, ‘Is this the
outcome?’ But we should tell them
to go back and rest in peace. Hope
is our watchword and we hope that
the sun of democratic peace will
soon shine again from a cloudless
sky.”—Joachin Boson, Boerne, Tex-
as.
Q. When are visitors admitted to
the Texas Memorial Museum?
A. The Texas Memorial Museum is
open every day in the year except
Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
The hours are from 10:00 to 12:00
every morning except on Sunday and
every ofternoon from 2:00 until 5:00
including Sundays. No admission
charged. The public is cordially wel-
comed. Dr. E. H. Sellards. director.
MAKING HISTORY: Newspaper
publishers and writers are engaged
all the time in working with those
who make history. For example, in
the Texas Memorial Museum at Aus-
tin may be seen a collection of maps,
pictures, and articles of Byron Ute-
cht, staff correspondent of the New
York World, gathered while cover-
ing the Mexican Revolution in 1015
and 1916. He accompanied forces un-
der Pancho Villa, under Gen. Carran-
za and Gen. John J. Pershing when
his troops chased Villa across the
Chihuahua desert. Utecht had leave
of absence from his newspaper, the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram, to ac-
company the expedition. The clip-
pings and articles which he has pre-
served for a quarter of a century are
now a most valuable collection of
that historic incident.
Q. For whom was the Texas town
of Goree named? J. F. Childress,
Texas.
A. Tlie town of Goree bears the
name of Cap. Goree, a warm friend
of W. H. Benedict, pioneer of that
section who now lives at Knox City,
and who settled and started the town
in 1886. Mr. and Mrs. Benedict have
been married for more than fifty
College Station:—Maybe the fel-
low with a bad temper Is that way
because his feet hurt. At any rate,
Dora R. Barnes, specialist in cloth-
ing for the Texas A. and M. college
extension servee, suggests that it
pays to study your feet—how to use
them and how to care for them. IDs
of the feet may be caused by wearing
shoes which do not fit.
Shoes. Mrs. Barnes says, should be
selected with the utmost care. He
sure you get the pair which fits com
fo.tably and answers your needs.
Try on the shoes anti walk around
in them to see whether they slide
here or pinch or rub there. Don't
buy by size alone. Your feet may
require different sizes for different
types. The shoes should conform to
the natural shape of the foot. They
should have a straght inner line, fol-
lowing the outline of the normal foot.
Be sure that your toes don't touch
the end of the shoe and that there is
no pressure on top. The great joint
should come where the sole shape
has the most pronounced curve. Test
this by raising tlie heel to see wheth-
er the bend of the sole comes direct-
ly under the big joint of the big toe.
The seam should not come over the
great toe joint.
The shoe should fit snugly about
the heel without binding, or slipping
up and down or forward and bark.
That way lie blisters and holes in
your stockings. Another point—the
heel should be low and broad enough
for a good support, Mrs. Barnes says.
Nature intended that man should
walk on both the heel and ball of
the foot.
The specialist offers these Addi-
tional useful tips:
High heels should be worn only
for dress where there is little stand-
ing and walking.
Don’t buy shoes which need altera-
tions. A pair of shoes for work and
walking and one for dress "ill give
twice the wear and comfort as one
pair for all occasions.

Q. Texans know former Vice
President John N. Garner to lie a
lover of tiie great outdoors. Could
you tell me if there have been any of
bis trophies of the chase mounted
for exhibit purposes? i). A. Camp,
Wood. Texas,
A. There is quite a collection of
horns in the Boss Brumfield garage
at Uvalde, home of Mr. and Mrs.
Gainer which have been preserved
'■y Mr. Brumfield following hunts in
south Texas which he and the Vice
President made together. There is
also a 10-point buck in the Texas
.Memorial Museum at Austin, which
buck was shot in Maverick County
on December 24, 1940, while he was
Vice President. The taxidermy was
done by L. M. Rathbone, former
citizen of Uvalde County, who is
now in the 65th Air Base, Victoria,
Texas* and lias been presented to
the museum by Fred W. Adams of
Austin, a 1017 graduate of the Uni-
versity of Texas.
FACTUAL: Edwin York, Jr. is
probably the youngest Texan to lx*
appointed to West Point. His ap-
pointment was made in 1940 by Vice
President John N. Garner when Ed-
win was just past 16 years of age.
Circumstances made it necessary
for the youthful Texan to defer ac-
ceptance, although lie passed the
examination for entrance with flying
colors. He was a prominent member
of the Austin High School stinknt
body and is an honor student in the
University of Texas where he is
making quite a record on the campus
as well as in the class room. He is
the son of Col. and Mrs. E. R. York
of Austin.
Q. What can 1 do to help defend
America? This question was asked
by a 14 year old Texas boy and is
a question in the minds of many of
the youth of ihe land.
A. Stay in school, preserve your
good health, abstain from smoking
and drinking of intoxicating bevera
ges. live a clean life, help your par-
ents with their problems all you
can, ad prepare yourself for a fu-
ture of service In a field In which
you find greatest interest.

To: Agnes Mulie, Greetings:
You are commanded to appear and
answer the plaintiff's petition at or
before 10 o’clock A. M. of the first
Monday after the expiration of 42
days from the date of issuance of
tliis Citation, the same being Monday

at or before 10 o’clock A. M., before

The names of the parties in said
suit are: J. K. Mabe as plaintiff, and
Agnes Mabe as Defendant.
The nature of said suit being sub-
stantially as follows, to wit: That
plaintiff and defendant were lawfully
married to each other on the 15th

By Robert Ripley
Ashurbanipal of Assyria, the rich
est man who ever lived, was worth
a trillion and a half dollars—75 times
us much gold a* Is held in the Uni-
ted States Treasury. Yet it availed
him nothing! Neither he nor his son
had the sense to use ibis wealth for
the good of their people or for their
protection.
And so it was comparatively easy
for Nabopolassar and the King of
the Medes to invade Assyria and
enslave it. And finally, when defeat
stared the great King In the face—
when it was too late—Ashurbanipal.
fn terror, had a tremendous platform
built of polished wood, in the city
of Nineveh, and on top of this he
heaped all of his wealth—142,000
tons of gold In 2,500,000 bricks (or
ingots), each brick 7 by 28 Inches
in size, and each brick valued at
$50,000 dollars. This treasure formed
a pyramid of shining gold nearly one
hundred feet high, and in the inter-
vening spaces he placed all of his
Jewels and personal belongings
his wives on golden beds- his child-
ren -*even Ills pet dog.
And then a great quantity of oil
was bought from Mosul and poured
on top of this golden mass, and when
tlie torch was applied, the King him-
self walked In and laid himself
down among hi8 wives his family —
his pet dog—and everything he val-
ued in life. And so the )jreat
Ashurbanipal, the richest man in
Hie world, was consumed in his own
wealth he Immolated himself and
became part of this great conglom-
rated melted mass of money and so
ended the Empire of the Assyrans.
And It never rose again.
I was In Nineveh a few years ago.
Only a few mounds marked the spot
that was the glory o'f Ashurbanipal.
Why? W
Because Ashurbanipal, who hat!
practically all the money in the
world, didn’t do anything with it!
And he and Ills country was lost.
Even his conquerors the
and the Persians- made this same
mistake they came, saw. conquered,
and confiscated tTils great golden
molten mass of money that was
once th»* king's and the wealth
the great Empire of Assyria—what
did they do with it?
Nothing!
They melted It into money again—
and remelted it and in generali<^.
since it has been remelted a thou-
sand times- until. Believe It or Not,
it is a mathematical fact that every
golden coin used in the world con-
tains in it some m!unte particle ft
Ashurbanipal himself, the King who
had all the money in the world but
didn't know what to do with it!
What are we going to do with our
money today? Enemies threaten
the same as they threatened AshU
banipal in 626 B. C. The United
States of today, like Assyria of Ash-
ortuinlpnl, is the. richest nation ill
the world. What will it avail us? _
Nothing? ®
Surely nothing more than R did
Ashurbanipal unless we do some-
thing with it. And there is only one
thing to do - and that is to Buv
Bonds and War Stamps and maw
our money directly available to our
country help our country other-
wise It will become a melted molten
mass and we the people will be dui-
troyed as Ashurbanipal "as di?>'
ed 2600 years ago.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT!
