The General Electric Monogram for December, 1943-January,
1944 (pp. 22-45) contains an excellent article entitled "TEXAS:
The Monogram Surveys the Fabulous Cornucopia of the Gulf
Coast." There are over fifty well-chosen illustrations accompany-
ing the article. Much source material therein is drawn from
The Texas Almanac (which guarantees its accuracy). The
Monogram pays the following tribute to the Dallas News and
Stuart McGregor, editor of the Almanac:
The Dallas News and associated enterprises, is the oldest Texas
business institution, having had its centennial in April, 1942. Since
January 1, 1857, this paper has published The Texas Almanac. It is
the most complete and amazing compilation of information and fact
about this or any other state which has come to our attention. We
acknowledge our dependence on it in the preparation of this article,
and hereby express our thanks and appreciation to Editor Stuart M.
McGregor of the News staff who is in charge of the Almanac. In the
early days, the only two books carried by the pioneers as they pushed
their way across the Texas plains were the Bible and The Texas Almanac.
If you want to know anything about Texas, get a copy of this remarkable
book-a three-hundred-page encyclopedia.-Ed.
The American Phamaceutical Association of Washington,
D..C., through its librarian, Miss Hester Jones, has presented
to the Association several volumes of duplicate copies of the
Quarterly. Such thoughtfulness is much appreciated.
Thomas J. Barnes, McMinnville, Tennessee, would like in-
formation on a Captain or Lieutenant Davis, who was a mem-
ber of the Texas Rangers during the Civil War and who is re-
ported to have served in Tennessee in Confederate raiding ac-
tivities. Davis is reported to have been in the Dug Hill fight
and to have been killed at the Billie Officer Place in Sinking
Cane near the present Monterey, Tennessee. Any information
should be sent directly to the inquirer.
Professor Hugo Tristram Engelhardt of the School of Medicine
of Tulane University, who was born in Houston in 1912, is a
new member of the Association. Dr. Engelhardt would hardly be
spoken of as having reached middle age, and yet he has already
published twenty-one articles in the leading medical journals
of America. Such splendid achievement should probably merit
a twenty-one gun salute.109
