in 1949) is government owned. The
United States is the only country
where almost the entire network®
is owned and operated by private
companies. In the rest of the world
three-fourths of the mileage is in

LIBRARY NOTES
BY JO BATTLE
We are having much interest
lately in the collection of local
history. A book which was pub-
lished last September by the Nay-
lor Company of San Antonio and
of great interest to all of us in
ths area is Adobe Walls Bride,
the story of Billy and Olive Dixon
by John L. McCarty of Amarillo.
This is a true story of the famous
buffalo hunter and Indian scout,
Billy Dixon, and his wife, Olive—
and of the opening of the West.
Olive King Dixon spent her wed-
ding night near the site of one
of the most valorous and most
barbaric battles in Plains History.
Where bullets and blood had
marked to fame the site of Adobe
Walls, the young woman from
Virginia came as a bride.
Her husband had been the hero
of the battle of Adobe Walls. He
had come to the Panhandle in
search of buffalo after a boyhood
on the frontier, freighting and
scouting and hunting buffalo, dur-
ing which he earned a reputation
as a marksman and resourceful
and dependable young man. He
was 24 when the battle of Adobe
Walls was fought—his prospec-
tive bride: one year old. Four
children of Olive and Billy Dixon
were born at Adobe Walls, signal-
ling the relentlessly advancing
tide of civilization in the big,
wonderful country that is the
Texas Panhandle. A nation owes
to Olive Dixon, so truly typical
of the pioneer woman of the
Plains, and to her hero, one of
the greatest Indian scouts, a debt
of gratitude for civilizing the
Great Plains empire and for bring-
ing homes to the wilderness,
They made a path that has be-
come a broad highway. The open
Western world that Billy Dixon
was drawn to by a magic magnet
is an empire of homes and great
wealth. The home they founded
on the kero’s battleground has
been multiplied by tens of thous-
ands in the Plains’ golden spread.
Both of these young Virginians
stayed in character, and the trim
young girl school teacher has
carried the Dixon saga beyond
the century mark into the new
world created in the wilderness
her husband tamed. Harold D.
Bugbee has done the illustrations.
Honey From a Dark Hive by
Bernice Kavinoky is the story of
a Pennsylvania coal town (the
mine is the dark hive), and of
a lovely young Jewsh girl, Judy
Harris, who wanted to bring the
delights of education to the ugly
town, and CaLtholic Pietro D’An-
gelo, a sensitive Italian lad who
was forced by circumstance to be
a coal miner. Their growing love
met with savage opposition from
their families, and set off waves
of emotion that affected every
one in the community.
The Horse Soldiers, by Harold
Sinclair is a realistic novel of
the Civiil War,based on actual
and daring calvary operation, Col-
onel Jack Marlowe leads an under-
manned Union brigade of two
Illinois regiments and one of Iowa
calvary, in a 17-day raid 200
miles inside Confederate territory
to cut the Southern Railroad and
return as best they can. The vivid
delineation of the action and of
the men’s characters in this trying
situation gives the reader a sense
of active participation.
The Last Hurrah by Edwin
O’Conner — the Altantic Prize
novel and the February selection
of the Book-of-the-Month Club—
tells the story of Irish life and
politics in Americe. The hero,
Frank Skeffington, rose from the
slums by the ladder of ward
politics and became dominant in
the administration of his city. He
emerges as a magnetic figure, as
fascinating to men as he is charm-
ing to women—a legend in his
own time.
The Scarlet Cord, a novel of
the women of Jericho, by Frank
G. Slaughter. The bloody wars of
the ancient Israelites and the
destruction of Jericho provide $
■tumultuous background for the
story of Rahab, the much-malign-
ed woman of Jericho. The heroine
plays a strange and colorful role
into which she is forced by chance
by the lover who wins and spurns
her, the king who buys and re-
spects her, and the doctor whe
adores her fro-m afar.

TAKE
You, too, can
A CARD
do card tricks and
you don’t need any special para-
phernalia, magic wand or mumbo
jumbo. Just a deck of ordinary play-
ing cards and a fellow conspirator.
Now try this card trick, “Tap
Happy,” on
your friends
next time
you attend
a party.
Take any
nine cards
from the
deck while
making cer-
tain to in-
clude one
Nine (Nine
of Spades,
Nine of Diamonds, etc.). Lay them
out, face up, in the form of an “H”
(as shown in the illustration).
Have your accomplice leave the
room while you get one of your
audience to select one of the cards
in the pattern—without removing it,
of course. Then call your assistant
back in.
Without speaking a word, proceed
to tap each of the cards once, ore at
a time. Your partner gets his clue
in where you tap the Nine card. You
see,, the pattern of the pips on the
Nine card corresponds to the pat-
•, tern of vour nine-card layout. Thus,
if someone has selected the Four of
Spades in the lower right-hand cor-
ner, you tap the lower right-hand
pip on the. Nine. Where you tap the
other cards makes little difference
but you should try not to make your
tap on the Nine any different than
your others.
Your accomplice should wait until
after you have tapped all the cards
before he tells what card has been
selected.
You will find that around the
third or fourth time you do the trick
everyone in your audience will have
his own pet theory as to how it
works. You can alter the trick by
using more than one tap per card,
by having more than one nine in the
layout, or by many other variations.
“Tap Happy” is one of several
card tricks contained in a colorful,
illustrated booklet, “It’s All in the
Cards,” recently published and of-
fered in exchange for an Ace of
Spades from an old or used deck. In
addition, the booklet contains some
interesting facts about the little-
known history of cards, suggests
some exciting variations on old
garr.es, lists a few unusual uses for
cards and otherwise provides count-
less ways for you to get more fun
out of your deck of playing cards.
To get your copy send an Ace of
Spades to Playing Cards, 420 Lex-
ington Avenue, New York 17, N. Y.
