Place of Old Gray
Mare May Be Filled
By Small Brown Mule

Brownwood, Tex, Jan. 13-(AP)
A small brown mule may take the
place of the Old Gray Mare in the af-
fections of Texas legionnaires Sarah,
for five years mascot of the Old Gray
Mare Band. died suddenly and left as
her heir and offspring. a mule colt.
Sarah's death came in the midst of
a controversy between the Oklahoma
and Texas departments as to which
had prior rights to the use of the Old
Gray Mare tune. Just after the
Texas legion had agreed to permit a
membership contest to decide the
question. Sarah was found dead In
her pasture near here, her little
brown colt standing mournful1y be-
side her. She was buried there with
full military honors.
The Old Gray Mare attended the
American Legion conventions in San
Francisco and st. Paul. besides
numerous conventions in Texas. She
reached the climax of her career
when she bore May Peterson. former
prima donna of the Metropolitan
Grand Opera Company, up the steps
of the Texas capitol at Governor
Miriam A Ferguson's Inauguration.
Sarah was one of the most travel
ed animals in America. She usually
rode in a specially constructed box
car. Once while en- route to San
Francisco the band stopped at Den
yer for rest, leaving Sarah loose
in the car The band struck up the
"Old Gray Mare" tune Just outside
the car, and Sarah. thinking 1t was
her cue, jumped from the car and
placed herself in her customary
position at the head of the band.

While there were jams the last day
at the main office and all the

Of very rapidly and comparatively
few were turned away without their
plates and temporary certificates.
The congestion at the Portland
branch was very much relieved and
instead of the grand rush which con-
tinued for a week or 10 days at the
beginning of last year. with the
turning away of many applicants
each day. 1t was only two or three
days that the crowds could not be
fully taken care Of.
The Bangor and Auburn branches
were considerably congested for three
or four days. but the service to the
public was very much improved over
that of a year ago.
One troublesome feature which had
much interfered with the service to
the general public in times past was
eliminated this year. Many local ex-
| press agents and public car drivers
bring IN from 10 to so applications,
and in order to issue these it would
sometimes keep the whole line wait
ing an hour or more. These agents
were notified that their transactions
would have to be handled as mail
order business and wait until the next
| day for their material
While this caused some dissatis

ployed the agents to obtain their H.
censes and plates. yet the service to
the general public was so much i'm
| proved that 1t is believed that the
decision of this department in such
| cases was a wise one.

| Combining the fashionable. short

one of the new style ideas. This is
a formal evening dress of white satin,
solidly embroidered with pearls and
rhinestones. 1t has a fan-shaped
train of chinchilla suspended from
the skirt by chains of rhinestones

Very wide bracelets are the new
order. The narrow bracelet is auto

Miss Negri wears seven bracelets on
