VISIT To ALAMO
TO BE ANNUAL

tie Margaret Houston Bush, great.
grand-child of Houston, was there
with her tribute of flowers.
And before the last notes Ct hymns
and battle songs had died away to
echo in the dim rooms where Travis
and Crockett died, the people who had
gathered there ere making silent
pledge-to go back next year with
their flowers, to pay tribute to the
crumblihg shrine.
The response of San Antonio and
her visitors Friday prompted the
Fiesta officials. and Cavaliers to an.
nounce, for the people, that there will
be a pilgrimage every year hereafter
as long as the Alamo stands in the
shadow of the tall buildings that have
grown up around it since the tepees
and jacals and chill stands have gone
from the plaza.
1t is probable that a definite date
during Fiesta week will be set aside
for the pilgrimage, just as the Bat
tie Of Flowers parade is given a day
that is parade day every year.
In 1886 funeral pyre burned in
San Antonio, and the winds claimed
the ashes of the Alamo's heroic dead.
And in future Aprils when the
Alamo is covered, like tomb. with
a blanket of flowers, the winds will
sweep through the gray old shrine
laden with the fragrance of flowers.
They will be giving back their great.
est gift-the perfume of Texas blue
bonnets for remembrance.

RUSSIAN PACT
PER|LS LEAGUE
By O. d. TOLIScHUs

Universal Service Staff Correspendent.
BERLIN, April 24.-The RUSSO
German neutrality pact, establishing
a new solidarity Between the two
mightiest so-called "outlsw" nations,
was signed today.
This document, which threatens to
wreck the League of Nations and
might we'll become the cornerstone Of
rival league fostered by German and
Russian nationalist, was completed AZ
the German foreign office by the sig
natures Of Herr Stresemann, foreign
minister, and Ambassador Kreusuinski
of Russia.
This action coming on the heels Of
Germany's suspension of her applica-
ton for admission to the league, acts
as an emphatic gesture Of her resur-
senee from bondage and defeat, and q
reassertion of her independence.
1t also considerably strengthens the
world position of Russia, which
amounts to the creation of q new situa.
ton in Europe, the results of which
will depend on the outcome of the new
diplomatic negotiations which the pact
is expected TO initiate.
As q result Of the numerous wrongs
inflicted on her, Germany holds that
the world owes her reparation and that
this enables her TO pursue o far more
vigorous policy to the West than here
tofore.
Nevertheless, the pact was drafted
with the most scrupulous care to avoid
conflict with Locarno and the League
covenant.

the sunshine were costumes of royal

In the strictly hydraulic brake
system, the force transmitted by
the pressure applied to the fluid IS
used at only four points: the four
wheel cylinders. In the hydrostatic
system, the engineers have taken
advantage of the law that the In
tensity Of pressure at any point
Of q fluid Is the same In all di-
rectioIis. Thus the pressure applied
TO the brake pedal, piston and bel-
lows is not merely carried to each
separate brake, but is used to allow
the several fluid envelops In each
brake assembly to actuate q
separate brake shoe. In one Of the
newer models there are six points
of force application to operate az
many brake shoes in each brake
assembly.
The idea of using more than two
brake shoes for each brake as
sembly Is to provide for even APP
pIicatiOn OF the Innings against
tenn there is an additional reason:
more points OF force application.
In this system the fluid envelopes
which push upon the brake shoes
are like inner tubes.
With compressed air as the
actuating force. greater simplicity
in the brake assembly is afforded.
In systems already devised, suf-
fieient pressure has been developed
TO render it unnecessary to resort
to leverage, self-energizing or ny.
1raulic methods of boosting the
force to be applied to the brake
hands or shoes. In one compressed
air system. the air simply passes
through lines to a container at
each of the four brake drums. The
drums are disced so that the air
in the containers press steel discs
against them. The action is some
whats similar to simple plate
clutch.
