REMOTE DAM CONTROL
PLANNED BY OWNERS
EARTHQUAKE SHAKES
TOWNS IN LOUISIANA
MARBLE FALLS, Oct. 19.—A tele-
phone that will obey commands and
raise or lower giant floodgates of a
dam when there is no human being
within miles of it will be put into
service by Emery, Peck and Rock-
wood Development, in the huge Colo-
rado River power dams above Austin,
according to an official of the com-
pany. Voice of a man 30 miles or more
away, pr even in Austin, 60 miles
away from the major dam, will be suf-
ficient to direct the unusual telephone
and control the locks and gates of the
dam. In the robot, telephone system
a solenoid mechanism will be employ-
ed so that when a man calls up a dam,
a circuit will be closed connecting with
electrical control of the dam gates. A
series of voice blasts or impulses will
be in effect so, that the distant speaker
can cause the gates to be lifted or
lowered any amount he may direct. A
weather reporting system will be used
in connection with checking up the
mechanical performances of the dam..

and points in New Mexico and are

NEW ORLEANS, La., Oct. 19.—
Distinct earthquake tremors today
shook 13 or more towns and cities of
southeastern Louisiana, including New
Orleans, but no serious damage was
reported.
The only human injury reported
from the earth quiver occurred in
Morgan City, when worshippers in
the Catholic church scratched and
bruised one another in a panicky rush
from the edifice. The congregation
began a hurried exit from the church
when they thought they saw the walls
rock. Only a few were hurt and those
only slightly.
The earthquake occurred about 6:15
a. m. literally shaking some residents
of New Orleans and surrounding re-
gions out of their beds. Thousands of
telephone calls poured into newspaper
offices from persons feeling the shocks
and wishing information.
Doubt existed as to whether two
tremors occurred or only one, some
narrators were positive there were two
shocks, about five minutes apart. It
was definite that the first tremble
lasted 30 seconds.
In Plaquemines, La., about 25 miles !
northwest of New Orleans, the quake 1
was severe enough to shake the glass j
from street lights.
No record of the vibrations was j
made at the Loyola university seis- j
mographical observatory, as the equip-
ment was reported out of order.
Professor J. Adair Lyon, head of
the physics department at Newcomb
college, said the gradual fading of
the vibrations in northerly, easterly
and westerly directions, probably in-
dicated that the phenomenon occurred
beneath the floor of the Gulf of Mex-
ico several hundred miles from land.
James Cockrell was in an automo-
bile accident Sunday evening at Waco
and is getting around with the use
of crutches. The car he was driving
stnick the end of a truck where re-
pair work was being done on a street
car track. James received a bi*uised
knee and other scratches and consid-
erable damage was done to the car
he drove.

GENTRY BROS. CLOWNS
IN NEW LAUGH STUNTS
Fifty Fun-Makers With Big Show Ap-
pear in Pranks to Delight Both
Young And The Old.
Many are of the opinion that the
show clown’s mission is only to amuse
the youngsters. As far as the clown
and his work is concerned age doesn’t
count at all among the people he must
amuse, and it matters not to him
whether they are on the “blues” or
seated in the reserve section. No one
gets too old to escape his wiles, and
he will break through the gravity of
a judge. It is human nature to laugh
and it is the clown’s business to tickle
the funny bone of the old and young
alike—and he does it.
The “Walk-arounds” of the clowns
with the Gentry Bros. Shows never fail
to cause hilarity—mirth so infectious
that it spreads from one end of the
big tent to the other and breaks down
the dignity even of those who believe
that such pranks are for the delight
of the juvenile portion of the audience.
The Gentry Bros, will exhibit in
Lampasas Tuesday, Oct. 21, afternoon
and night. Has fifty clowns and these
fun-makers of the big top have con-
ceived innumerable new laugh-provok-
ing “stunts” this season. The Gentry
Bros. shows are the biggest motorized
in the world. They will arrive in your
eity with the finest fleet of trucks
ever built by the G. M. C. A visit on
the lot will more than pay any one to
look them over as they are a show in
themselves.
The daily parade will have many
novelties that have never been seen
with any show except with Gentry
Brothers.
MUSKOGEE, Okla., Oct. 16.—After
twenty-three years a letter written
January 29, 1907, by the late Tams
Bixby, chairman of the Dawes Com-
mission, which had charge of the al-
lotment of lands of the Five Civilized
Ti*ibes, was received Wednesday by
Mrs. Susie E. Standifer, she said here
Thursday.
Mrs. Standifer then lived at Ard-
more and now lives at Wapanucka.
The letter referred to a claim which
Mrs. Standifer and membei-s of her
family had filed on a Choctaw allot-
ment. It said the Secretary of the
Interior had denied the claim.
During the long interval Mrs.
Standifer and her family wondered
what had become of her claim, and
made desultory efforts to find out.
WORLD IS BETTER
AFTER ITS ‘SPREE’
HENRY FORD SAYS
Southhampton, England, Oct. 17.—
Henry Ford, American automobile
magnate^ in an interview before he
sailed for America today on the Euro-
pa, declared: “Protection is nothing
more nor less than excuse for incom-
petency. The need for protection is
created by people who do not want
to work.”
He reiterated previous statements
that “the world generally is a health-
ier state after its spree. Everybody
has lost money, but it may be to
their advantage, for it will make them
think.”
Mr. Ford said that soviet Russia
will not be of much use to the world
until more Britons go there to show
the country how to do things.

panied by Clarence Lockhart of San

Saturday after an absence of three
months from the city. She first went

odist conference in Harlingen. They

tonio before going to Harlingen for
