Galveston's Sea Wall
Nearing Completion

Galveston. Tex, Dec The east

sea wall viii be completed by Aug. ],
1921, predicts Major l. n. Adams, u.
S. A.. engineer in charge of the work
To date 9.110 feet have been con-
structed. while about 100 feet re-
main to be built. The project is be-
ing built at the expense OF the gov
eminent.
Comparative figures for the origi-
nal wall and for the extension now
under construction show that post
war conditions have laid an almost
prohibitive hand upon great engi-
neering projects
To complete the east end extef-
sion, the rivers and harbors commit
tee at Washington has been asked to
appropriate 81 5000 The original
sea wali-approximately five miles in
iength-built after the disastrous
1900 storm. in which thousands of
persons lost their lives and millions
of dollars in damage done, cost only
$2,09O,OO0.
The governments extension. as
also is the wall completed in 1904. is
II feet above the mean low tide and
roughly 1.5 feet above the high swa-
ter mark OF the 1900 storm. 1t is
five feet at its crest. with a base of
is feet, sloping toward the gulf. On
the landward side the wall is banked
with earth over which has been built

Austrian Helpers
Source of Worry to
Local Sausage Man

Carl Ulbrich. the sausage manufac-
turer and meat market man on Silver
street. finds himself in a very I'M
pleasant situation and in a bewildered
state of mind A short time ago two
Austrian soldiers. one Of whom is his
cousin and the other his brother. came
over from Austria and went into the
store with him, taking the places of
two Americans who were cierking in
the place.
Day before yesterday AIR. Ulbrich
received a telephone cell to the effect
that he would have to send the Aus
TRANS away or his business would be
ruined and told him this would be done
within IS hours. Mr.. Ulbrich said
yesterday that he was entirely unde-
cided what to do. He said that he
had these two men come because they
were both acquainted with the sausage
manufacturing and the other men were
not, which caused him to work almost
day and night.
Mr.. U1br;ch has bought house on
School street since he came here and
has had very. good business until it
became known that the Austrians were
employed. He said that someone told
him 1t was probably some member of
the American Legion who telephoned
to him. He seemed very much ag-
grieved.

Home Tanned Hides Give Farmers
Uncertain Profit

Apparently it doesn't pay the farmer
to tan his own leather. The Bureau Of
Chemistry. United States Department

making experiments upon the scale to
which the average farmer would have
to adjust his work. and specialists saw
that the results obtained thus far do
not warrant general practice Good
leather can be made in individual tam
neries, but the results are too uncer-
tain to give reliable profits.
The work was taken up by the depart
ment when it became evident that the
farmers were feeling the Injustice Of

cowhide for less than they paid out for
a pair of work shoes-an occurrences
not at all unusual. investigation
shows that the leather dealer is not
entirely to blame for the low prices
that the farmer receives for his hides.
Too often the hide from the farm COW
is taken off In a careless manner that
leaves the skin full of cuts and holes
farm hides are never as uniform as
those bought from the packing houses,
where the animals are carefully graded
and the skins removed by expert skim
ners. For that reason the hide buyers
is always willing to pay more for the

farmer.
Then, too the farmer sells his COW.
