That the actions of humans are guided more by habit than by the in- itiatory forces of the brain cells (for reference see Descartes, Spanoza, Plato and Billy's Whizz Bang), was clearly demonstrated yesterday when the new 7-cent street car fare went into effect. People who have mount ed hurricane decks of the street fer ry, morning after morning, noon af- ter noon, and eveing after evening, and deposited the nickel and the penny in the slot, yesterday climbed aboard, and, as usual, dropped the nickle and the penny in the slot. That is they started to drop that amount The graven faced officer of the watch, or to discard nautical language for the bucolic venac- ular-the motorman, stopped the pro- ceeding with the reminder that "the fare today is seven cents."
 Then passengers remembered that "sure 'nough," that was so, and in went another penny; and except for the remark made by a few, "T didn't

Climb to Bluffs

Corpus Christi, Texas, Sept. 21.-
 Many persons residing in the beach section of this city spent tonight with friends on the bluff, on which three-fourths of the city stands Their livestock, household goods and personal effects were moved with them, completing precautions against danger of the gulf storm striking inland in this vicinity of the Texas coast.
 Many merchants of the. beach dis trict, warned by their experiences of last year, are putting heavy plank shields over their windows and mov- ing their goods to the second floors, or, in a few instances moving bodily to the bluff until after the storm danger has passed. The county court house was put in readiness to care for hundreds of refugees if neces- sary, being stocked with both food and water.
 Comparatively few local residents have left, although outgoing trains were crowded with tourists who did not care, to face the possibility of a storm.
 Along the water front every possi- ble precautioin has been taken. Sail boats of the fishing fleet and pleas ure crafts have been moored behind the municipal wharf which will af- ford some protection.

Wind Tears Awnings

New Orleans, Sept. 21.--With the wind blowing steady gale of 25 miles an hour and coming in gusts from fifty to sixty, merchants, store keepers and the people in the outly- ing districts began preparations to meet the hurricane fast approaching from the gulf.
 Plate glass windows throughout the business section were reinforced and wherever available metal shutters were placed over the windows. ThiF was especially true in the old French quarter. Many sign boards have been blown over throughout the city and in one section couple of houses were unroofed by the force of the wind.
 With the rising tide and growing winds residents and pleasure seekers along the shore of Lake Pontchar- train commenced Hooking into the city. Driven by the increasing wind, the water in Lake Pontchartrain be- gan coming over the sea wall at West End and Spanish Fort.
 From the MiSSlSsippi Codst iSSoito every train returning to the city was crowded with vacationists seeking safety from the approaching storm.
 Sleep in Postoffice
 All the hotels in the city are filled to overflowing and refugees are camping in the postoffice, customs house and other public buildings.
 Awnings and signs have been twist ed loose and hurled through the down town streets.
 All trains scheduled to leave New Orleans since 9 o'clock tonight have been annulled. The superintendent of transportation of the Louisville and Nashville reported that the water was over the railroad bridge at Bay St. Louis, Rigolets and Chef Menteur A train loaded with Gulf coast refu- gees bound for New Orleans was stalled at Chef Menteur and attempts to take passengers over the bridge on motor cars failed. The wind at Bay St. Louis and Chef Menteur was re. ported to be 60 miles per hour.

The Motornen Bear Brunt When
 Company Hikes Street Car Fare

know that the fare is seven cents' the genesis of the 7-cent fare Tn flhe Bluff passed off with little comment by street car patrons.
 So often, however, was 1t necessary for the motorman to remind passen- gers that the fare had been increased to seven cents, that number ot the more ingenious manufactured a slgn which they placed over the fare slot reading, "Seven Cents please"
 Street car officials yesterday stat ed that patrons had accepted the hike very graciously, and that scarcely any complaints were heard from pas sengers. The change in rate is only effective as to cash fares, since books of 50 tickets each for adults might be purchased at the office of the company for $500, each, or 6 cents per ticket, which is the old fare i: while school children may se- cure books of fifty tickets at the office at $2.5O, each, or 5 cents per ticket, which is the old, old fare which obtained "when the mind of man runneth not the contrary"

FIRST BLASTS OF
 STORM STRIKE
 SOUTHWEST TOWNS
Continued From Page One

COnC1nue0 from rage One tors; the shifting of all cars loaded with wheat and cotton to the main land; to vacating of ground floors in the business district, and secur- ing of all shipping in the harbor, marked Galveston's preparations to- day in anticipation of the West In dian hurricane.
 While the barometer here early tonight remained motionless at 29.S0, there was gradual rise in the tide and an appreciable hurricane swell At 7:30 o'clock twenty mile an hour northeast wind was blowing.
 Every resident on the Island has been warned of the approach of the storm. Brigadier General J. F. Vol ters, cooperating with the local weather bureau this morning de8 spatched motorcycle messengers of the Texas national guard to get word to all persons living down the island. Many others were notified by te1e- phone.
 Camp Hutchins, where for over three months the national guard troops have been bivouacked, this morning was dismantled and the mil itia moved to Fort Crockett. This was done upon the invitation of Sec retary of War Baker, General Vol ters stated.
 A cordon of military police was ft,1 T .~c4o tion early today and the order "wom- en and children first" was given. Later, however, this order was modi- fled to permit men to accompany their families. According to G. G. Moore, general superintendent of the Galveston Houston Interurban lines, 3,500 persons left over the interur- ban lines. Passenger trains depart ing from the city were fixed to pro- vide accommodations for the hundreds who sought to quit the city. In ad- dition, automobiles carried many families across the causeway to Dick inson and other mainland cities.
 While no immediate danger was feared today, most of the business houses of the city, including the cot ton exchange and several of the cot ton congresses, closed down early in order to permit employees to make preparations for the storm.
 In anticipation of the unusual heavy traffic, an even dozen girl tel ephone operators, veterans of other storms, today volunteered their serv- ices.
