Smith, and her maids OF honor, Vir-
ginia Martindale and Helen Hull.
The Lady of the Lake float was a
real court, the splendor Of which
brought back scenes of the splendor of
the Louis XVI palace. Violet Volz
was the queen, while Anna Kily
Gwinn and Stella Mae Adancek were
the ladies in waiting.
The Incarnate Word Academy was
represented by one of the most beau
tiful floats Of the parade, their en-
try having Helen Cornish as queen
and Mary Rose Kerr and Alice Bern
hiem as maids of honor.
Another of Our Lady of the Lake
College floats represented Texas UNI
der six flags. The costumes worn by
the girls in the float were almost as
gorgeous as those, worn by the queens
and her maids. The styles worn were
almost exact duplicates of the clothes
worn during the different times in the
history of the state. This float won
a first prize in the Battle of Flow
ers parade held Friday,
Decorated in Real Flowers.
The Incarnate Word College entry
was pretty one and drew much at
tention. 1t, represented the landing
of an old boat in a Colombia port in
1916.
The Mark Twain Club of Main Ave-
nue. High School was another pretty
float in the parade. Many flow
ers and pretty girls featured the float.
The Main Avenue High School
graduating class of 1925 was repre-
scented with car decorated with many
red flowers. Several of the mem
bers and officers of the class rode.
The Main Avenue High School Ora
matte Club had car decorated with
red and yellow roses. Many girls.
dressed in yellow costumes, and some
boys rode.
Ell Dorado School entered car and
truck decorated in yellow peoples. The
children were in yellow costumes.
The Order of the Rainbow was one
of the prettiest floats. outside of the
queens floats. in the parade. A
large truck with flowers placed around
the sides and large rainbow across
the top. of the float, made up the dec
orations.
The Hidalgos. Spanish Club from
Breckenridge High School, was an
other pretty float. Girls dressed in
the native Spanish costumes rode. The

PROHIBIT IMPORT

American ranchmen in Coahuila,

Gently enacted by Congress and
which has received the signature of
the President, according to informa-
ton received by DIR. William Thomp-
son. in charge OF the Department of
Animal Industry for the district
along the Mexican border from Brew
ster county TO the Gulf. The bill re-
peals a paragraph in the Act of March
4, 1911, which provides for the i'm
portation of tick-cxposed cattle from
Mexico to that part of the United
States south of the southern quaran-
tine line.

August 30, 1890. which prohibits the
importation Of cattle. sheen and other
ruminants as we'll rs hogs, diseased,
or exposed to any disease within 60
days prior to their shipment, is now
in effect against Mexico as it has
been in effect against other coun-
tries.
Since the states of Coahuila. Nuevo

Tested areas. no cattle can be ship
ped from those states without having
been exposed during the 60-day per-
iod. There are sections in chihuahua
and Sonora. however, which are con-
sidered clean. of fever ticks.
Although there may be ranches in
the tick-infested states of Mexico
which are clean and although the
ranchmen NAV dip their cattle. in
spectors on this side of the river have
no jurisdiction in Mexico and hence
precautions that ranchmen NAV take
on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande

1t is not believed. however, that
the cancellation of this special priv
ilege TO ranchmen in Mexico will worl,
an undue hardship. Within recent
wears, the importation of cattle from
Mexico across the border in this fed
eral district has fallen off to great
extent. This is attributable to the
troublous times in Mexico.
| There are n number of American
ranchmen, however, who own land on
both the American and the Mexican
sides of the Rio Grande. These

For Neat Backing.

Hsndling a car around the garage
when the engine is cold can be SIM
plihed by allowing the engine 70 run
a little faster than usual while only
partially engaging the clutch. As
there is no heat in the power plant
and little effort required to roll the
car around q level garage floor, no
harm Is done to the clutch by doing
this when necessary. On the other
hand. for neat backing into the
garage stall when the car has sast

run the engine as slowly as possible
and avoid slipping the clutch. which

fully retarding the spark. With the

One Of the most perplexin' noises a

Congestion of steam around water

any one would want to hear. And as
