sentiment which has been created
throughout the entire state in favor OF
this much urgent need We view with
pride the splendid work and achieve
nen+s of the A and NJ college at
BRYAN and heartily favor adequate ap-
propriations for its support and main
tenance by the 35th legislature
1.-THE esta blishment of the West Texas
A. & NJ. college is in no degree in
opposition to the a. & NJ college Of
Bryan. but is a peculiar need to meet
the conditions. social and climatic,
which obtain in the semi-arid regions
of Texas. We note with pleasure the
good will and kind expressions of the
alumni of the A & NJ. college of Bryan
and the University Of Texas and most
heartily appreciate their offers of aid

F FAMOUS WOMAN
Of GREECE DIES
Sophie Tricoupis, the Gun
crowned Queen" Passes
Away at Age of 80.

, Athens. Greece, Aug. 24-Sophie Tri-
coupis. one of the most remarkable
women of modern Greece. is dead She
had been termed THE Uncrowned
Queen of Greece" an appellation fully
warranted by the facts. for it is doubt
full if even the empress Eugene ever
exercised so much direct control over
the destinies of France as this woman
old over the fate of modern Greece.
She was a daughter of Spyridon Tri-
counts the first premier Of free Greece,
and the sister of Harilaos Tricoupis.
who during the last quarter of the 18TH
century completely dominated Greek
politics As a child she made the &C
ouaintance of lord Byron, who was a
familiar friend in her fathers house.
and il was her father who pronounced
the funeral address over the coffin OF
the English poet Her youth was passed
IN London. where her father was Greek
minister. but on the entry of her broth
er into the political arena, she returned
to Athens and took up her place at his
side. Nor did she ever leave him, re-
naming unmarried, she devoted her
entire time TO aiding him in his po-
litical work and in looking after his
personal comfort
Wore Clothing of Style of '73-
A woman of striking appearance, she
was the more conspicuous by the fact
=
clothing from the date of the death of
her father in 1873. She retained even
the early Victorian fashion of doing her
hair and in her later years resembled
nothing so much as a daEuerreOtype
come TO life. The house which she and
her brother occupied was very small
one but in spite of that, some of the
most distinguished political figures Of
the 18th century passed through Its
drawing room The present emperor of
Russia. Edward VII and queen Alexan-
ORA of England. king Christian IN of
Denmark were only a few of those who
were the guests of this remarkable
woman.
Had No Social Ambitions
But her relations with the distin-
guished visitors to Greece were wholly
and the ordinary balls and social gath
erings of Athens never saw her. She
was not only the inspiration but the
active coworker of her brother, and
knew quite as much about politics as
did ne, and il was frequently TO Madam
Sophie" as she was called that those
who had some political proposal to
make addressed themselves rather than
to the minister himself. With the death
OF her brother. however, she ceased all
political activity and retired to a Sc
cluded life which she permitted moth
ing 10 disturb She was over so years
cd when she died.
Buried Only in a Stroud
Appendicitis was the cause Of her
death. on July %. Her body was in
TERED in the vault beside that of her
distinguished brother, she being clad
only in a shroud- According to her
wishes there was not even a coffin. and

How to Judge a

There are always the well-knoWn
and semi-humorous methods such
as saving brunettes are quick tenn

sense in just noticing whether the hair
is well kept to judge a woman's
neatness. If you are one of the few
who try to make the most of your
hair. remember that it is not advisable
to wash the hair with any cleanser
made for all purposes, but always use
some good preparation made expressly
TOR sIampooing. You can enjoy the
very best by getting some canthrox
from your druggist and dissolving a
teaspoonfuI in cup of hot water
when your shampoo is all ready.
After its use the hair dries rapidly
with uniform color. Dandruff, ex-
cess oil and dirt are dissolved and
