NEED VETERINARIANS
Not Many Studied Profession in Mo-
tor Age But Enrolment Increases

Manhattan, Sept. 1S-"Reports to
my office indicate that there is q
shortage of competent graduate vet
erinarians. On account of the big
wages in professional work of all
kinds during the war years and also
because Of a belief that tractors and
automobiles are going to displace the
horse, the enrolment in the veterin-
airy colleges is very low"
The above statement is quoted
from Dean r. r. Dykstra dean of
the division Of veterinary medicine
and professor of surgery at X. S.
A. G.
Dean Dykstra states, however,
that the outlook is not unpromising,
as the 1922 enrolment showed a
healthy increase over the enrolment
OF recent years. As the influence of
war is degenrating, high school
graduates are again turning to the
study of veterinary medicine.

Young Crockett's early years were
spent in roaming he Tennessee
woods. hunting. He became a re-
nowned bear hunter, a fame which he
shared with his favorite rifle, old
Betsy
When the Creek Indians went OF the
war patti in 1913 Crockett tossed "Old
Betsy on his shoulder and marched
away to fight the Indians. He served
us a scout under Gen. Andrew Jackson
and was in the great Battle of Toho-

In February, 1886, Davy with Il of his
Tennessee friends arrived at the Mis-
sion del Alamo where Col. William
Travis with a little army of less than
200 men was defying the Mexican lie

Santa Anna had a force of 3,ooo
men. and although the Texans had u
chance to escape before this over
whelming army cut off their retreat
they refused to do SO. The Mexican
general surrounded the rude little
adobe fort. His demand for its sur
render was met with scorn. Then he
raised the red flag which meant, y
quarter and attacked.
The long rifles of the Texans moved
down the Mexican soldiers driven to
the attack. On March 6 Santa an

five hundred picked men were detailed
to be hurled against the fort. The
first assault was beaten back with
heavy loss. A second failed, Blu Ill
the third desperate attempt the MeXi-

After that the fighting was hand K

took command. Outnumbered a u

cause of their struggle for liberty
So Lola came to Paris, under another
name, and started to dance. Once
more Kisses greeted her. 1t was the
last straw. She flew into a fury, tore
off her slippers and garters, and threw
them at the audience.
Paris had been won. Lola, dropping
her other name, became the fashion
of the day. An editor was killed In
a duel about her, and Dumas pro
nounced the line quoted above, which
drove her from the capital. She next
turned up In Munich and enslaved old
King Ludwig. Their folly took hold
of her. She started TO rule the state
and soon got into water so deep thai
she almost lost her life. A mob sur
rounded her palace and angrily de
manded that she come out. Lola
came, in her nightgown, pistol In
hand. She emptied the contents into
the crowd and barely escaped tho
mob's fury when Ludwig arrived al
the head of the royal b%odyguard. She
had to flee, and Ludwig lost his
throne.
Lola had exhausted Europe. She
came to New York and tried again to
dance. Once more she failed, anG
