TO TURN HOSPITAL TO STATE
Texas Department Of American Legion
to Reiirquish Control of Kerr
Vile Institution.

The Texas department OF the AInerl-
can Legion is completing arrangements
to turn the Legion Memorial hospital
at Kerrville over 10 the state. in order
that the provisions of the bill appro-
priating S1,5O0.OU to expand the in
stitution to a capacity of GOO tubercu-
lar patients, passed by the state legis-
lature, may be carried out.
The Legion will maintain its hospital
organization, which will cooperate
with the state health officer, the super
intendent of the state tuberculosis san
itarium and the chairman of the state
board of control, the officers designat-
ed to supervise the expenditure Of the
appropriation.
Charles w. Scruggs. state adjutant
Of the Legion, has expressed the ap-
probation Of the ex-service men as fol-

Rabbit Leather.

Samples of rabbit leather recently
sent to this country from Australia
have been examined and tested by the
United States bureau Of standards,
with. a view to determining the utiliza-
bility of such skins for shoe uppers or
other purposes.
The leather was found to have only
about ~one-fourtll the strength of calf
skin and to teal rather easily. 1t has a
great advantage in point Of ~cheapness
and might perhaps serve for uppers of
fancy shoes that are not expect ed to
stand much wear The experts are of
the opinion that 1t could be used to
advantage for Innings and novelties.

daily life to pay tribute to those who

cause and have passed on to their re-
ward
The great lesson Of the day is not
only that the day is set aside to i'm
mortalize the dead heroes but to fufth
cr the cause Of Christianity and HUI
mainly SO that the mistakes which
have caused wars in the past can be
avoided in the future. As the ma
tions stand beside the graves of their
dead war sons, they should each re-
solve that this needless sacrifice of its
youth should be ended. Only by un-
firing and unending work can this be
brought about, in which every citizen
Of every nation has his part.
Such propaganda as IS being insid-
iously spread that the English have
1ouble-crossed the United States,
France is working against us, the
Japs are looking with envious eyes
toward the American coast, and that
the Germans m ~secretely laying the
foundations for another effort to con-
Quer the world, are calculated to stir
the hatred and malice against those
nations and to prejudice the Ameri-
can mind against each and every one
Of them. Memorial Day should ce-
