ON JULY 4TH
Did you take part in the Legion’s
Day* of “49’” Did you win, a for-
tune at roulett^, faro, poker, or plain
old “African golf?” Did yott drink at
the bar, or “shake a wicked foot” in
the dance ball? Did you forget “dull
care” and have the time of your life
on that festive occasion? Then Join
ns again on the 4th day of July. The
celebration we are’to have then will
make the “Days of ’48” pale into,utter
insignificance. “What are we going
to have?” A Costume Carnival, with
wheels of fortune, base hall games,
fir*> works ‘n everything. “Who is go-
ing to be there?" Everybody. Isn’t the
American Legiion giving the celebra-
tion? “What are we going to do?”
Dance on the Square. Can’t you hear
that band a-teasin’- and a-coaxln’:
can’t you feel your feet a-sI1ppin’ a Oft
sltofn’, even when you try to keep
ISto still? And the booths—all around
tlie Square you" will find them —
booths where you can get red lemon-
ade, sandwiches, near beer, balloons,
rubber 1 Mills, whips and things. And
the wheels of fortune, provide your-
self with a fiat full of American Le-
gion money, ask “Lady Luck” to stand
by your side, spin the wheel or hit
the “nigger baby/* and take home your
prise. And then cornea, as a fitting
climax, the biggest thing of all—the
magnificent display of fireworks at
the ball park that night. Not common
little old every day Roman candles,
sky rockets and fire crackers, but fire
works such as yon have never seen
before; fountains of fire, beds of
flowers, "Okt Glory,” the Red Crow,
clusters of rubies, monster rockets
that burst and fill the sky with show
ers of colored stars; fireworks that
you will remember for many a day.
“Come Early—Stay Late;” haven’t you
seen the Invitations on the placards
about the Square? Send the news to
your friends; ask them to don a cos-
tume—any kind and meet you here.
We promise you—and them—no end
of clean, wholesome fun.

Austin, Texas, June 19—Among the
students of the University of Texas
who were granted fellowships at other
universities in die country os a mark
of special distinction attained with
graduation, there were two graduates
of the Texas .Blind Instltutg. They were
Paul Mueschke, of Westfield and
Randolph A. Haynes of Austin. Both
will be candidates for the degree of
doctor of philosophy. It to believed
that no other college has ever had
two students thus handicapped to
achieve such marked success. Both
men are well known about the cam-
pus, and go about from class to class
and ere at home wkh the other stu-
dents to all phases of campus life.
Mr. Mueschke, who . has been
awardedn fellowship in English at
the University of Michigan, came to
Blind Institute, and has won both
bis bachelor of arts and hto master
of arts degrees here. He has already
held fellowships at the University of
Wisconsin and at the University of
Texas. *■ , gjjj
Mr. Haynes who has been granted
a fellowship in romance languages
at the University of Chicago, also re-
ceived hto bachelor and master degrees
here. He has been Instructor to ro-
mance languages at the University of
Texas daring the tost two-years. Hto
wife, who Is also a graduate of the
University of Texas, has been award -

Thus did Judge Miller close his plea
for the reelectlon of Senator Culber-

that of tbe sentiment of gratitude and
loyalty to a tried and faithful servant.
Nor would be apologise, he declared
for making tbe pltes on the grounds of
