In the rebuilding, the original college
plans were followed as to front ele-
walton, the main arch being a replica Of
that of the Alamo with towers copied
after those Of the historic missions flank

including GO0capacity auditorium,

entire building accomplished.

CIGARETTE SMOKING

The fumes of the lighted cigar
cite carry their entire influence to
the user in response to suction,
and are distributed by inhalation.
All people who Smoke, inhale.
Some deny this, but they are mis-
taken. The smoke enters the
mouth and attacks the sensitive
nerves of the oral cavity instantly,
the FIRST effect is stimulation

haustiou takes place, due to over5
stimulation. The taste of the adj

goes on, until he cannot appreciate
the favors of his food. Nothing
tastes so good to him as the fumes
of this burlesque of Che tobaccon-
list. 1t is safe to say that the
chewer Of "the weed" suffers less
damage than the absorber of the
volatile chemical within the ciga-
rette! The chewer escapes much of
tobacco poisoning by his copious
expectoration-out cigarette fumes

Cigarette-smoking is distinctly a
follow-up process, each one reach

quadrupled; with wide nostrils,
even this is intensified, until the

minished or lost, the breath fetid
and unholy, the face expression

disturbed until the fingers tremble
under the slightest excitement.
That this condition lessons courage
and executive ability, is beyond
question. Is the game worth the

Typhus to be Studied

Typhus fever ana smallpox have been included in the scope of work of the International Health Office, which recently concluded it's meet ings in Paris looking to ward re- vision of the International Sanitary Code, Surgeon General Hugh s. Cummings, of the United States Public Health Service announces. Dr. Cummings attended the con- fel ence, which was representative of between 50 and 60 nations, at the behest of the Department of State. and was granted plenipo- tentiary powers by President Coolidge to sign the revised con- vention.
 Inclusion of typhus fever and smallpox within the scope of the International bureaus work, Dr. Cumming said, now places these communicable diseases on the same footing with yellow fever, plague, and cholera. The International Health Office, under the revised convention, will be recognized as the official source for the collec- tion and dissemination regarding these diseases, and also will look to the proper quarantine methods in commerce and trade, to safe guard uninfected nations from ex- posture to these diseases.

 PENALTIES

New decrees making it potential ly dangerous for American busi- ness investigators and newspaper correspondents to seek special in formation regarding financial and economic conditions in Russia, have recently been issued by the Federal Soviet of Commisiars. ac- ccring to information which has reached the Department of State in the form of official Russian docu- ments.
 The newest decree, which has just been received, sets forth in de- tail the information about Russia the dissemination of which Is pun ishable by imprisonment or in grave cases by death. The list in cludes not only military informa- tion and information about the To- cation, equipment and production of factories making army and navy supplies, but also detailed eco homie information concerning es- inmates relating to importation and cXportatiOn of certain merchandise. also information concerning the conitien of the export funds of cer- tain goods;;" that is, the. quantities of goods available for export.
 The penalty for the gathering or dissemination of information which comes under the category of "se- crets of State is a minimum of three years imprisonment and in extreme cases, death by shooting. The death penalty is authorised fin eases where such espionage has caused, or might have caused par t!cularly grave consequences for the interests of the State" In the same decree, penalty not exceed ing three years Imprisonment is to be enforced for the "collection of economic information of such character that it is not considered an especially guarded secret of State, but which is not to be made public, either by virtue of direct prohibition by law or else by order of the chiefs Or managers of the respective departments, institutions Or enterprises.

NEW F0X LEASES
 AID INDUSTRY

On the third of July the United States Senate passed the House oill authorizing the leasing of AL aska islands for fox farming. The limit of time an island is leased was raised to ten years and an area of 30 square miles will be all lowed under the lease. Many large islands heretofore unavailable un- Ger the existing laws are or will soon to be open to entry.
 The fox ranchers may benefit by this new law but 1t appears to us that the repeating of some of the several taxes will be of more inn mediate benefit to an over-tax burdened infant industry. It is to be hoped that between the Federal Game Commission and the Terri ,Orial legislature remedial measure will be secured whereby consider able of the burdens now imposed on men of little capital will be permitted to get good foothold for their business in the territory
 That it is to the benefit of the Chambers of Commerce to aid this industry is self-evident. Were every fox rancher to take advan- tage of certain agencies (not men tioned because we prefer to adver- tise our own merchants) the diff ference in local mercantile turn over would be very noticeable. Every business house pulling for the greater development of local industry only insures greater de- velopment of it's own business.
