Texas Heroes Would Be
Honored by Scheme
for Remaining.

Proposing to honor Texas heroes
and to eliminate "nameless' streets
and simply their nomenclature, a let
ter suggesting revision of tn enames Of
streets north Of the downtown section
has been sent to Street Commissioner
Paul Steffler and Mayor John W.
Tobin, by Robert W. r. Terrell. judge
Of the Seventy-third District court.
The mayor and commissioners have
the letter under Amusement.
Travis. Houston, Crockett and
Alamo streets are properly named
Judge Terrell says, but suggests the
following changes:
Pecan street TO be changed TO Bowie
street: Lakeview avenue. Martin and
Third street. which are in reality one
street. 20 be named Austin street: the
present Austin street 10 be changed
10 NacoSdoches street: Lexington ave
nue.. Fourth street. and Bowie 10 he
named Rusk street throughout: Fifth
ard Trenton streets 10 be combined
into Fannin street: Burnett street 10
absorb Sixth street: Seventh street
and Brooklyn and Mccullough avenues
70 be called Bonham street: Eighth
and its continuation. Hays street. 10
be called Milan street: Ninth street
TO be called Lamar street. Of which il
is continuation. and Tenth street
likewise 10 take the name of Burleson
street: Grand avenue. Jones avenue.
and the eastern continuation. Sher-
man street, TO form Arson Jones
street.
"The plan" Judge Terrell said. IF
accepted. would nccessitatc the re-
manning Of Bonham and Milan streets.
.Bonham could quite appropriately be
tFlled Menger street and Milan street
could take the name of Sherman"
This remaining. it is pointed out,
would eliminate the numbered names
II streets from Third TO Thirteenth in
the northern section Of the city, which
is sometimes confusing TO the visitor
with the numbered streets in the west
ern section Of the city picking up at !
Nineteenth street.

DIR. Tyson of Augusta
To Be Speaker at
Sunday Health Talk

A rare treat il promised to the citi-
zens of Waterville next Sunday after
noon when DR.. Forrest C. Tyson, SUI
perintendent of the State Hospital for
the Insane at Augusta. will be the
speaker at the health talk at the Sis
ters' Hospital. DR.. Tyson will speak
on the subject of Mental Diseases. The
various phases Of insanity form
most interesting field for study and
one which the average persons knows
little or nothing about. Abnormal
mentality appears to be something to
be especially distasteful to the normal
person, and yet the border line be-
tween the normal and the abnormal is
frequently hard to define. The genius
is not far removed from the abnormal,
mentally. We frequently find An es-
pecialiy bright person who is generally
considered to be \ little bit or. How
far removed is he from what may be
considered an abnormal condition men,
tally? The bright precocious child
may show the signs of abnormal men
tally. 1t is a most interesting SUBJ
ject and one which should appeal to
us all. 1t Is safe to say that there
is no person better qualified to deal
with this topic than DR.. Tyson. His
talk should be full of most intriguing
interest to everyone.
The economic phase Of abnormal
mentality is a most important one. If
a person is disqualified from assuming
his normal relationship with the rest
of society by reason of some deranged
mental condition, there is distinct
loss of that society. And those pitiful
people who are not actually insane
but are classed as feeble-minded con-
stitute one of the greatest problems
that the State has to face. This brings
us into the realm of mental hygiene.
1t IS a we'll known fact that the feeble
minded reproduce much more rapidly
than the normal people. And each new
feeble-minded person brought into the
world is a distinct liability for the
State to assume. A large proportion
of the crimes committed are due to
this very fact. Perhaps a person may
seem to be perfectly all right in every
way, yet through some abnormal men,
tai condition for which he Is not to
blame he reacts differently to his sur
roundings. His conscience is not nor
NAL: his sense of what Is right or
wrong is impaired; and without any
thought of wrong-doing he commits
some offense against society. THESE
are all conditions which we have to
deal with in everyday lift. A broader
knowledge concerning them would be
advantageous to us all.
DR.. Tyson's talk will commence at
a quarter to three o'clock in order to
close in time for all who wish to at
tend the vesper services. AS there I'M
doubtedly will be a large number of
people who wish to hear DIR. Tyson. all
