phone" he said.
"But am Mr.. Caruso." said the man
at the other end of the telephone.

reporter. 1T is just because mutton

If you have children to edu-
cate; if you are interested in re-

University REGENTS Advocate Adop-
.iiea 81 Amendment 10 Secs.
O6S1, Art. J Of State
Cnastitution.

The Board OF Regents Of the
University OF Texas has issued
an address 10 the people in advo-
cacy OF the adoption of the pro
posed amendment to Sections
10 and -, Art. 3 of the Consti-
tuition in the election called by
Gov. Colquit for 10Th July 1913.
The Regents show that
there are 2l2l students now in
attendance at the University,
300 more than were attendance
last year; that under the present
Constitution no building can be
erected at the University out of
appropriations made by the Leg
islature; and that the adoption
of the proposed amendmentwuld
authorize the use of the income
from the University permanent
endowment for the erection of
buildings, and would not make
any addition whatever to the tax
es whatever to be paid by the
people. The Regents also refer
to the benefits that would accrue
under the proposed amendment
TO the other State institutions,
which of course would include
the state normal schools, the
College of Industrial Arts and
the A & NJ. College.
The following paragraph in
the statement of the Regents is
interesting;
For 80 years the University
of Texas has grown steadily in
the esteem and confidence of the
people. The men who have con
stituted it's governing board have
been distinguished citizens selec-
ted from different sections of the
State; it's faculty has been well
equipped scholars, chosen with
out political influence, for merit
and efficiency; nerly 20, 900 Texas
boys and girls have been stu
dents in its halls; no breath of
scandal has touched it; it's growth
and prosperity have more than
kept pace with the advancement
of the great State which gave it
being, and whose bounty sus-
tains it year by year. One seri-
Gus handicap under which it has
labOred and is laboring now, can

Green Will AVIATE IN CARDUI
FLYER AT Chattanooga
Confederate Reunion Committee, with
Cooperation Of Chattanooga
Medicine Co has Arranged
for Three Airship Flights
Over Veterans
Camps.

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 12.-
Confederate Veterans going to
the Chattanooga Reunion. this
month will have an opportunity
Of deciding for themselves what
it seems like to have a war aero
plane fly over a military camp.
Johnny Green, the famous
aviator, has been employed by
the Reunion Entertainment Com
mittee to make three flights in
his 20 horse powerwar aeroplane,
"Cardui Flyer No. 3" over the
Parks in which the Confederate
Veterans will be encamped. The
cost of the flight is co-operated
in by the Chattanooga Medicine
Co., with the idea of helping to
entertain visitors during the Re-
union.
Military men agree that the
battle of Chickmauga might very
well have ended differently if war
aeroplanes had been in use at
that time. The veterans who
are to be the guests of the city
Of Chattanooga in May, will have
ample time to discuss this in
teresting question, as they go
over each phase of the battle on
the field where the conflict can
be so easily reconstructed with
the aid of hundreds of tablets,
monuments and markers, that
the Government has so carefully
placed at all stragetic points.
