Pistol Case Dismissed.

Lois Wotermark. timid and pretty.
faced Judge Nelson LITTLE in the Bexar
County Criminal Court Thursday
morning on charge of carrying a
pistol. So far as could be learned this
is the first time a woman has ap.
pearcd in that court on charge Ot
this nature. Judge Lyle dismissed
the case. 1t was brought out that the
young woman had gone TO place to
get the pistol, her husband having
loaned it to man. and that on the
way home she stopped Mt dance. She
was accompanied by n woman friend
and the latter's husband. An officer
discovered the pistol and filing of the
charge followed. The case was dis
missed on the ground that the law
gives person the right to carry a
pistol to his or her home.

CROSS THE SALAD0
Second Engineers Use Fallen Logs
and Empty Tanks 10 Build Bridge.


Training in building bridges under
conditions similar 10 those which
must be faced in time of war, has re-
Gently been secured by the Seconc
Engineers at Fort Sam Houston. Two
battalions, acting under orders from
Mai. w. ID. Anderson, regimental
commander, recently constructed three
bridges across Salado creek out OF
material found along the stream.
The engineers went to the creek
with the usual engineer tools and then
began operations. The First B0ttai-
ion found a fallen tree about two
feet in diameter. They sawed this
tree into eight-foOt lengths and use'l
it for pontoons or floats. The pieces
were spaced ten feet in the water. and
duck boards made from boards found
along the. stream were laid from log
TO log. The battalion then crossed
over on the bridge.
The Second Battalion utilized ten
ompty gas tanks found near the creek
in constructing one bridge. These
tanks. which were about two feet in
diameter. were dashed together in
pairs TO a framework of wood and
nliuc PNttlltlI AVA
boards which were laid from float To
float. Ten men were placed on one
bay of this bridge, ane one-third OF
the gas tank still was out of the
water.
A rope suspension bridge was also
built by the Second Battalion. A one
inch rope was used upon which TO
hang walk. The floor boards were
placed at a distance below the suspen-
sion ropes so that the latter served as
hand rails for the men in crossing.
The bridge bobbcd up and down con
siderably as the troops crossed. but
proved an effective means of getting
them over the stream.
Whenever an improyised bridge
must be thrown across stream. the
engineers always look for cans. logs,
boats or other articles that may be
nscd as floats. If these cannot be
found. a suspension bridge is con-
The Second Engineers were much
in this work because it diff.
fers from the task usually confronted
in building pontoon and trestle type
bridges.

SCHOLASTIC CENSUS

DAIRY
FACTS
LIKELY CAUSES FOR
LAPSE OF APPETITE

Dairy cows sometimes suddenly stop
eating for no apparent reason, and
feeding steers may be similarly affect
ed. More commonly. however, appe-
tite gradually lessons until eating
stops. Chewing the cud, or rumina-
tion. Is also suppressed in these cases.
1t seems possible that the cow be-
comes tired of her ration if no change
has been made for some time. Lack
of succulent or laxative feed may also
be q contributing cause. Anyhow. the
any muscular motion (peristalsis) can
be heard when the ear is placed against
the animal's side. Lack of exercise.
insufficient drinking water, an made
quate or irregular supply OF salt. chill.
fright or discomfort are other possible
causes, and total lack OF appetite is
also symptom Of many serious dis
eases.
When disease Is not present, try the
effects of change of feed. Apples
or roots sometimes are relished. Raw
potatoes may stimulate the appetite.
A COW will sometimes eat whole oats
when she refuses other feed. Salt
placed in her mouth or snlt dissolved
in the drinking water may improve the
appetite. Also offer alfalfa or clover
hay. If timothy. prairie or swale hay
has formed the roughage. Meal
placed in the mouth may also coax
the appetite.
In my experience fluid extracts Of
nux vomica and gentian root have
proved, with acetic acid, the most eff
fective medicines. Two ounces of di-
lutte acetlc acid well diluted with wa
ter and given night and morning for
few days sometimes starts the an
imal to eating. If 1t does not succeed,
give twenty to thirty drops Of fluid
extract of nux vomica and one to two
drains of fluid extract Of gentian root
in some fiaxseed tea every six or eight
hours. and If necessary gradually in
crease the dose of nux. Make the an
imal take active outdoor exercise ev-
cry day. Take the chill off the drink
Ing water. Supply rock salt or block
salt. Protect the animal against cold
drafts and wet weather.-A. S. A. in

Safe Practice to Feed
Dairy Cattle Roughage

Feed the dairy COW all the roughage
she will eat. Under ordinary condi-
tions, this is safe advice, says E. S.
Savage, authority on dairy rations at
the New York State College of Agri-
culture at Ithaca. Sllage and legume
hay seem the best combination. The
silage should be fed at the rate of
about three or four pounds day for
each hundred pounds of live weight.
This will usually mean the cow will
then consume about pound and
half of hay every day for each ten
pounds of live weight.
Silages chief value is Its succulence.
One should avoid feeding TOO much of
1t, since it is bulky and contains a
low percentage of digestible nutrients.
To make the grain ration palatable.
at least three different grains should
be included. Jerseys will probably
need about one pound of the mixture
daily for each 3 to 3ia pounds of milk
produced. Holsteins and other large
typed cows will need one pound of
the mixture for each 314 to pounds
Of milk.

National Guard Groluing
at Rate of 800 a Month

AT the present time the National
Guard has nn aggregate strength of
10000 men. which is increasing at
the rate of 1,sOO month. In the WIN
ter months the increase is slow, but
Just prior to the training season this
increase Is greatly augmented. BY
June 30, 1924, the bureau expects 1S1,-
900 men to be enrolled in the guard,
and by June 30. 1925. 1t is expected the
National Guard will number 100000

A study reveals the fact that the 1925
estimate of S3O,577 $40, which Is al
lowed by the budget bureau, is not suf-
ticient to provide for the training and
activities of these 10000 men during

Whenever there was occasion to
demonstrate a receiving set with a
loud spe aker. either in a large or small
room. to number of people where
comparatively large volume of sound
had to be used. there was always met
the annoyance, to those near the
speaker. of being disagreeably affect
ed. while listeners at point half way.
to the rear Of the room would just
about be able to Judge the good and
bad points Of the receiving set en-
ployed. At the present time. when en-
tertainment is furnished in an audi
torium. hotel lobby, ETC., it Is always
necessary to use two loud speakers
placed at different points.
From time to time new loud speak
ers have been placed on the market.
However. the manufacturer Of every
one makes new claims only for quality
OF tone, etc. due to the construction
Of the diaphragm. In principles, they
are all alike, throwing the entire vol
ume of sound In one direction.
Beginning with the premise that
even distribution Of this volume of
sound over the entire room, In other
words diffusion Of the sound, would
solve the problem, 1t logically follows
that this must be done from some
point at the center.
Placing a loud speaker with the con-
ventional type of horn at this point.
directing the sound waves either
against the ceiling or the floor. does
not help-the problem was one Of ac-
tual direction Of the waves. Taking
into consideration the rejecting quail

those Of the ceiling. walls and floors,
the solution had to be such that the
