AUSTIN, Tex, July 1T.-Stu-

have dreamed of extensive inn
provements for the school may
have their dream fulfilled by the
magic Of oil. A $6,000,000 i'm

had taken steps to obtain loans
for the improvements, but it was
not until a few weeks ago that
hope developed for other sources
of revenue.
It is admitted by university Off

HUNDREDS IN VIENNA TOO
POOR TO PAY DOCTORS

VIENNA, July 17.-Hundreds Of
doctors in Vienna are having hard
times, these days, keeping them
selves and their families alive.
The people cannot afford to pay
their fees, which are 10000 crowns,
or Is cents, for a visit. Many
physicians families get meat only
once a month, and live chiefly on
bread and potatoes.
Ninety per cent of the people in
Vienna belong to sick benefit as
sociations, and seek the help of an
outside doctor only as a last re
course. Furthermore, few foreign
ers Gene nowadays to Vienna in
quest of medical aid.
