has been to send her agents across the
frontier in motor cars. They travelled as
tourists, and their cars were constructed
with secret receptacles in which the sac
charm was hidden.
On a recent visit to Lindau, Nine Osel
was recognized by the German police.
She jumped into her car and started for
the Swiss frontier at full speed. but a
telephone message beat her to the bar

Frenchmen today take pride In being

Street IMPROVEMENTS
By l.. NJ. HEWITT.

The Eagle editorially urges the
adoption of some method for the i'm
provement of the streets of Bryan,
which is well. 1t suggests that the
Council take hold of the matter with a
strong grip, meet from night to night
until a solution is reached. Now this
is all well enough, but the Council can
settle the question in one hour by sim
ply adopting a resolution to put $4,000
per year into street work, and put it
under the control of a successful road
builder Flat streets are an abomina-
ton to any community and are i'm
passible in wet weather, but when the
center of the street is lower than the
surface sewer it's fierce. 1t does not
cost one cent more to grade a street
with a good crown in the center than
1t does to make it fiat, but one will
shed water and the other will hold
water. For $3.50 per year Bryan can
secure scientific road builder, with
four mules and helper. Twelve hun
dred dollars per year will furnish nee
essary street material, and in a short
time the result of this expenditure
would be reasonably good streets. The
expenditures on the streets now is
much more than this.
