131ST FIELD ARTILLERY EX-
PERIENCES REAL ARMY LIFE
ON JOURNEY TO CAMP HULEN
Miss Wanda Ruth Martyn is home
from her vacation visit with her aunt
Mrs. Wm. T. Fitzpatrick in Grand
Junction, Colo.,.
Fort Sam Houston, Texas, Aug. 16.
—If the officers and men of the 131st.
Field Artillery, Texas National Guard,
had any misgivings about the friend-
ly feeling felt towards them by the
regular army, the night they spent in
camp at Fort Sam Houston convinced
them that they were all a part of the
army of the United States.
The artillery regiment, commanded
by Colonel Charles A. Davis of Lub-
bock, was completely motorized in
June. The batteries composing it were
concentrated in Abilene on August 9,
and next morning the column departed
for the annual Texas National Guard
at Camp Hulen, Palacios. Fort Sam
Houston, 250 miles south, the first
day's objective, was reached on sche-
dule at 7:00 the same evening.
Bridadier General G. R. Howland,
commander of the Second Division and
Fort Sam Houston, was at the camp
site on Pershing Field and personally
welcomed Colonel Davis to the post.
The supply trucks of each battery
drew rations from the post commis-
sary, and wood for the field kitchens
was delivered as needed. Two truck
loads of Post Exchange supplies were
; parked at the camp site for the con-
venience of the guardsmen, and the
beautiful Salado swimming pool was
reserved for their exclusive use dur-
ing their stay in camp.
General Howland also instructed the
I post Military Police to show every pos-
j sible courtesy to the National Guards-
i men on pass. The regiment departed
on August 5 for Palacios. After being
informed that none of the artillery
men had been reported either by the
military police or the San Antonio
police department, General Howland
dispatched a letter to Colonel Davis
congratulating his command upon
their smart appearance, good dicipline,
and record breaking achievement in
covering 260 miles in one day with
their own transportation.

Many Chevrolets Are
Being Assembled at
Century of Progress
Chicago, 111., Aug.—Assembly of
new auotmobiles in the plant operated
here on A Century of Progress grounds
by the Chevrolet Motor Company will
pass the 2,000 mark late this month,
officials announced here today.
Since the line was set into motion
by the light of a cosmic ray just prior
to the opening of the Fair, output has
held at a steady pace of 24 cars a day,
six days a week.
In July exactly 600 new Chevrolet
Master six coaches and coupes came
off the line; in June 589 were built,
and in May 165, bringing the total
produced here from the time the line
started through July 31, to 1354 units.
If present schedules are maintained,
car number 2,000 will be completed
during the last hour of the last day of
this month, officials said.
They estimated that by the closing
of the Fair upwards of 3,500 Chevro-
lets will have been assembled here.
This figure excees the total 1932 pro-
duction of eleven different automobile
companies then in business.
So insistent has been the demand for
cars carrying the distinction of having
been built at the World's Fair that
every unit so far produced has been
purchased at the end of the line and
driven away by its new owner. Color
options may be specified in advance
and the purchaser is given the privi-
lege of going into the assembly pit and
helping to build his own car.
People have come here from more
than a thousand miles distant with the
primary object of purchasing a car
built at the Fair and driving it home.
The huge assembly room, housed in
the special General Motors exposition
building, with a wide balcony a fifth
of a mile long completely circling the
assembly operations, is attracting
nearly half of all the people who visit
the Fair.
All of Texas is
Organized to Push
Con. Amendment
AN APPEAL TO ALL
CITIZENS OF TEXAS
Austin, Texas, Aug. 16.—An appeal
to all the people of Texas to forget
self and to not use theirselves as a
yardstick measuring the proposed con-
stitutional amendment providing for
relief bonds was issued today by Wil-
liam Strauss chairman of the steer-
ing committee to campaign for the
measure.
"In the cities there are thousands
who still draw fair salaries or have
good incomes from their business"
said Mr. Strauss, "and it is hard for
them to realize the plight of their
neighbor who perhaps has not had a
job for a year or two years. Their
children are well fed and they may
forget that their neighbors' children
are going hungry.
"In some sections of Texas nature
has been bountiful and cellars, pan-
tries and bins are stocked with food.
I urge these people to bear in mind
that but for the grace of God they
might be in the plight of their fellow-
farmers in the drouth-stricken areas
who have neither food, money nor the
opportunity to earn money. Let there
be no selfrighteousness in this matter.
Let those who have thankfully share
with those who have not. The burden,
if equally distributed, will be as
nothing compared with the knowledge
that their fellow Texans have food to
eat. If this proposal is defeated
hundreds of thousands will go hun-
gry."
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Koerber and
children and Mrs. Belle Koerber were
in Houston Monday to attend the fun-
eral of the latter's brother, Mr. Dennis
Millane, who died at his home in
Houston at 6:30 p. m. Saturday. Mr.
Mullane was 79 years of age, a retired
cotton man and life long resident of
Houston. He is survived by two sons
James Dennis and Wm. A. Mullane,
and one daughter, Miss Janie Mullane,
all of Houston and three sisters, Mrs.
J. F. Lehane, of Fort Worth, Mrs.
Ellen McAughan, of Houston, and Mrs.
Belle Koerber of this city.
Austin, Texas, Aug. 16.—From the
Panhandle to the Gulf, from east to
west, Texas is organized to push the
campaign for the proposed constitu-
tional amendment authorizing the
legislature to issue relief bonds to feed
the destitute of the State. Nearly 200
counties have been organized into com-
plete campaign units under the direc-
tion of the campaign steering commit-
tee headed by William Strauss of
Houston. A campaign manager public-
ity chairman and speakers' bureau
chairman for each county has been
designated. Each county organization
will direct and conduct its own cam-
paign, assisted by literature and ma-
terial from the State headquarters in
Austin.
In the ten days since the State cam-
paign headquarters vore opened there
has been a tremendous swing favor-
able to the proposal, according to Mr.
Strauss ,who now believes the amend-
ment will be overwhelmingly adopted
"Two weeks ago the outlook was
dark," said Mr. Strauss, "because the
voters of Texas knew almost nothing
about the proposal except it involved
more bonds, and the people generally
do not feel kindly toward bonds. They
didn't know then that it was a question
of voting these bonds or letting a lot
of their neighbors and friends go hun-
gry. They didn't know that if the bonds
are issued it will not increase the
taxes on their homes and farms one
penny because the bonds are not to be
funded with property taxes. They
didn't know that 1,270,000 Texans are
being fed entirely with Federal funds,
which funds stop the minute this pro>
posal is defeated. They didn't know
that with the NRA program working
perfectly, as I believe it will, not more
than half those now on the relief rolls
can be absorbed into industrial work.
Because of age and disability the oth-
ers will remain public charges. They
didn't realize that in certain drouth
stricken counties more than half the
entire poulation must be publicly sub
sisted. When the people realize these
facts they will give the legislature
power to issue as many bonds up to
$20,000,000 as that body finds needed."

Firing began when the men were
within 220 yards of the targets. All
Units were engaged in this contest,
and the winning company, according
to custom, becomes the Governor's
bodyguard. Last year Company G,
Snyder, commanded by Capt. John E.
Sentell, won this honor, and this or-
l ganization made another try for it, the
score to be announced latter in the
week.
An unusual feature of this combat
firing was the use of tracer bullets
and spectators had no difficult in
patching the bullets as they sped to-
ward the targets.
T. N. T. Is Exploded.
As this contest was proceeding, the
One Hundred Eleventh Engineers ex-
ploded 100 pounds of T. N. T. nearby
as an experiment and training in min-
ing operations.
The health of the 7000 officers and
men here was declared to be remark-
able, and in the words of Lt. Col. John
W. Beck of the One Hundred Eleventh
Medical Regiment, "it is uncanny."
Only 11 cases of real sickness have
been reported to the regiment, while
last year about 60 cases were cared
for the first week of camp.
The "medicos" are under command
of Col. John J. O'Reilly, Fort Worth.
He and Beck gave as one factor in
the good health of the camp the fact
that the men have learned much more
how to care for themselves in recent
years.
Praises Discipline Benefits.
"As concrete evidence of the bene-
fit of National Guard training to the
people of Texas, Colonel Beck point-
ed out, "I know of one company whose
members formerly could obtain no
credit at the bank. But they became
stabilized and disciplined in the ser-
vice, straightened themselves out and
became mighty good citizens. I know
they later received credit at the bank
for these reasons, because their banker
so informed me."
Despite the care of health and rec
ord of the medical regiment, it sadly
lacks hospital equipment, and so far
efforts to obtain it have failed, the
camp hospital using equipment that
saw service before the World War.
Even 250 pajamas for patients were
issued during the war.
The One Hundred Forty-third In-
fantry is a regiment in the brigade of
Brig. Gen. George P. Rains of Mar-
shall, an East Texas organization
Rains is a veteran officer, noted tac-
tician and saw service in the Spanish-
American War. War is not all fight-
ing, I He visitor here learns. Food and
cleanliness of kitchens are important
factors in the development of men.
So a visit to Company G. of the One
Hundred Forty-third Infantry dis-
closed every pan, plate and other uten-
sil cleaned and scoured until it shown
"Eat." You ought to see these East
Texas boys eat," the cook commented.
"They never leave anything on the
tables. Yeh, maybe the depression has
something to do with it."
Tents Up in 13 Minutes.
When this company came into camp
it took it just 13 minutes to erect each
tent, likely the average over camp, so
a city of 7,000 was set up in 13
minutes.
Companies, battalions and regiments
were active in contests in athletic
events, including boxing, baseball,
wrestling and track events. Six boxing
trophies, in different weight classifi-
cations, were awarded. 10 baseball
games were in progress Saturday.
Officers in charge of the division
shooting match say there has been a
great improvement in marksmanship
of the men over a period of 10 years,
while Capt. George Green, chaplain
at division headquarters, reports in-
terest in athletic contests is keener
this year than ever before.
Religious service in 10 different
units were held, beginning at 7:30
a. m. and closing at 6:30 p. m. The
One Hundred Thirty-second Field
Artillery held services in memory of
Col. Arch Allen, former commander
of the regiment.
All known distant firing was under
direction of Lieutenant Colonel Joseph
W. Speight of Dallas, division ordin-
ance officer.
Actual gas was used in training un-
der the direction of Lieutenant Colo-
nel Stephen D. Ridings of Amarillo,
division gas officer.

Austin, Texas. August 16- -The
month of August usually shows an in-
crease in the number of cases of in-
fantile paralysis in Texas, according
to Dr. John W. Brown, State Health
Officer. It is not only a serious disease
but also one of the most treacherous
with which the medical profession has
to deal. The death rate is very high
and also the number of cripples. It is
estimated that one third to one half
of all the cripples in the United States
can trace their handicap to infantile
paralysis.
Suspicion should be aroused when
an illness begins with headache, drow-
siness, fever, irritability, vomiting,
diarrhea or constipation and with stiff-
ness in the back of the neck or spine.
When such early symptoms appear,
parents are urged to obtain medical
advice without delay, and not assume
the condition to be of temporary or
trivial importance. Treatment at this
stage of the disease is of the greatest
importance and more effective than
when delayed until after the appear-
ance of paralysis. These acute symp-
toms rarely last more than a few
days, 75 per cent of the cases develop-
ing paralysis "on or before the fourth
day.
The disease may be divided into two
main groups, the paralyzed and the
non-paralyzed. The latter, regardless
as to how mild, is the greater danger
in spreading the disease. No one would
deliberately expose a susceptible per-
son to a definite parlyzed case, so it
is the exposures to the unknown case
or carrier which causes the greatest
spreading of this disease.
Dodging infantile paralysis infection
is a blind game for no one knows
where the infection exists. Sometimes
it appears as if the infection spreads
as readily as that of influenza, but
owing to the longer period between ex-
posure and illness, cases do not appear
in such rapid succession and because
of extensive natural immunity, at least
to its paralytic effects, the recogniz-
ed cases are many times fewer. The
best plan to follow to avoid this
disease as well as many others is for
the individual to follow the rules of
personal hygiene.
