Texans fired shower of grape and mus
ket balls. Santa Anna directed the
fight from behind building about 500
yards south Of the chapel Twice the
assailants fell back in dismay. Rallied

einto), according to Filisola, the columns
of the western and eastern attacks meet.
ing with strong resistance in reaching the
tops of the small houses forming the
walls Of the fort, by a movement to the
right and to the left, swung northward
until the columns united, and led by their
officers, succeeded in forcing entrance
into the enclosed yard. About the same
time a column on the south made
breach in the wall and captured one OF
the guns. This was Immediately turned
on the convent.
The cannon on the center Of the west
wall was still held by Texans and did
fearful execution upon the Mexicans who
had ventured into the yard. But the
small garrison could not hold out against
overwhelming odds. Travis fell early in
the fight, shot in the head as he was fir
ing n cannon on the roof After the
shot he had sufficient strength left to
kill Mexican who was about to spear
him.
The bodies of most Of the Texans vera
found in the buildings, where hand-to-
hand fighting took place. The body OF
Crockett was found in front of the door
Of the room in which Bowie lay i'll on
his cot, and there were number Of dead
Mexicans 10 prove that his defense was
heroic. Bowie was killed in his bed
after the door was broken in. Mrs. Dick
enson and her daughter and 4 young
negro body servant Of Colonel Travis
were the only occupants who remained to
tell the tale OF the Alamo.
The bodies were taken out 10 front Of
the Alamo and burned.

A large irrigation ditch formerly
crossed the placita of the Alamo and
passed in the rear Of the present struc-
ture, providing water for all within the
enclosure. 1t was water from this ditch
that quenched the thirst of the noble
band of Texans during the famous siege.
The Alamo fronts west toward the
city. The main chapel, now standing, is
70 feet long by 81 feet wide. The walls
are Of solid masonry, feet thick by 2211As
feet high. This structure was roofless
at the time of the siege. From the north
west corner wall extended 80 feet to
the convent building. The convent was
one-story building with a flat roof 1856
feet by Is feet.
From the northwest corner of the
chapel a wall extending 1856 feet north,
thence 102 feet west to the convent, en-
closed the convent yard. From the south
"eet COEueT Oh tne cnapel strongly
built stocksde extended 20 feet to
building called the prison. The prison
was one story, rs feet by II feet, and
formed part of the south wall of the
main Alamo Plaza, of which the convent
formed a part of the east wall and some
low buildings, used as barracks, formed
a part of the west wall.
The main plaza, enclosed with walls
was 154 yards by "a yards. The differ
ent enclosures occupied between two and
three acres-ample accommodations for
1000 men. The outer walls were 2Ia
feet thick and S feet high, though, as
they were planned only against the In
dams, the fortress was destitute of sa-
lients and dominant points in case of
bombardment.
A ditch, used for irrigation, passed
Immediately in the rear of the church;
another touched the northwest angle Of
the main square The armament was as
follows: Three heavy guns, planted upon
the walls Of the chapel, one pointing north
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-04-18

The early days of the Alamo, when
it was Spanish mission in the then
wilderness GO Texas, are more or less
shrouded in mystery. The records
concerning its foundation and early uses
are meesar and dim with age. In the
first book of the records kept in old
San Fernando church are found a few
lines telling of the missions and concern
ing the Alamo was the simple notation of
its founding: "San Antonio de Yalero,
HIS" Originally, the Alamo was called
by the Spaniards, San Antonio de
VALERIE.
Fray Diego Martin Garcia. actual
minister of the missions, wrote an entry
in the record indicating that the Alamo
came to be established on the San An
tonic river because of a shortage Of
water in the Rio Grande, because this
entry in part states:
I'm the present year and on the 10th
of the month of May, 171S, this mission
of San Jose Ton the Rio Grande) on
account of the scarcity of water, was
transferred to San Antonio de YalerO
~ order of His Excellency, the Marquis
de ValerO. yicerOy of New Spain
Other records contain dates as early as
ZIG for the founding of the Alamo or
of San Antonio de Valero, so that it is
possible a mission had been designated at
that time to be built on the spot and
that the San Jose mission, having run
short of water on the Rio Grande, was
combined with the mission on the San
Antonio river. The San Jose mission
was known as San Jose de Alamo.
Thereafter records at varying intervals
deal chiefly with church work, but one
report written about 1852, states that
the Mission had a population then of 30
people, and that they owned 1900 cattle,
300 horses and 1900 sheep, and that
they titled much land.

toward the old mill, one of the stones of
which you will find in the chapel today
one west toward the city, and one south
toward the village of Lavalleta.
Two guns protected the stockade be-
tween the chapel and the prison; two
protected the prison, and an 1S-pounder
was planted at the southwest angle of the
main square; a 12-pound cannon pro-
tected the center of the west wall, and
an 1S-pounder was planted in the north
west angle; two guns were planted on
the north wall Of the plaza-in all, ii in

Over the chapel floated the flag OF
the provisional government of Texas

white stripe. Today the visitor can see

courtyard, but the other wall which sur

The old confessional room is one OF
the most historic spots in the building
Here James Bowie lay i'll on a cot ut
the time of the siege, and it was here
that he made the heroic decision to be
carried over the line, a line drawn by
Colonel Travis with the sword, just out
SHE of this door, when Colonel Travis
asked those who preferred to die fighting
to step over this line, and every man,
including Bowie, who was sick, came
over with one exception. There is no
later record of this man, so no one
knows whether he was killed trying to
escape or whether he managed it success
fully. History does state that no one
escaped, and it is taken for granted that
he was. killed.
The siege began on the 23rd day of Feb
ruary, 1896, and so stubbo-nly did Travis
and his men resist the Mexicans that
not until Sunday, March g. did the Alamo
fall. The MeIicans began the attack at
about o'clock in the morning, and the

THE MOVIES AND THE BOB

Whether the movie actress started
the bobbins craze or not, it is GER
tain that they have accepted it and
Shat most of the stars on the silver
screen today have bobbed hair. And
women, on and off the stage, find
that by using the right hair wash any
style of bob is made much more
effective.
The best way to bring out tho
natural beauty Of the hair is to
shampoo it with Canthrex. This Is
q simple, inexpensive shampoo which
can be obtained at any druggists.
Simply dissolve a teaspoonfuI in a
cup Of hot water and apply it all
over the head. Results will be de-
iiahtful because your hair will be so
soft, fluffy and never streaked. II
dries quickly and is easy to do up.
Canthrox also stimulates the scalp
so that the hair is healthy, free from
dandruff as we'll as dirt and excess
oil. 1t costs only about three cents
4 shampoo.

DR.. York Writes on Heart

Dear Sir:
There is circulating around the
motor, water and the heat is radiated
from the motor, and is carried in the
water to the radiator upon which the
wind blows and cools it off, and the
cooled water is again carried to the
motor. Shut off your radiating sys-
tenn and the possibility of air reach
ing the radiator system and the wat
er will boil. The same principle Is
utilized in the body and much heat is
produced internally. There must be
some method whereby this heat is
carried to the surface and eliminated
from there
The great system that has to do
with the distribution of heat to all
parts of the body is the vascular
system. The blood that enters the
liver is actually several degrees cool
err than the blood leaving the liver
and proportionally the same thing is
true of all glands of the body. This
/ blood which has been to the liver
kidney, heart and to all parts of tht
body is returned to the right side o.
the heart, to the auricle and ventricl'
and then to the lung. In the lunl
some heat is lost providing the ex
ternal temperature is lower than tn
body temperature. IF the tempera
ture is IS degrees externally, and tn
air is inhaled $50 and with fror
sixteen to eighteen respiratiOns pc
minute, some heat is lost. The bloc
is then distributed to every part @
the body through the aorta and som
goes to the surface of the body.
The capillaries are reached and
dense plexus exists in the skin an
theb lood is carried to the surfac
and through the process Of condu'
ton and radiation and perspiratlol
much heat is lost. When the capi
laries leading to the skin are dilate
a greater proportion of heat that
lost is increased. If the external a
I is cold, the capillaIies will contra
and the heat loss is less. This Is II
D same as the automatic shutter
front of the radiator of an aut
There is about II per cent to 10 p'
: cent of the total body heat lost TIM
evaporation. The large proporto
of between rs per cent and 50 pc
! cent is lost through conductlon an
radiation on the surface OF the SKI
in the human being.
Yours truly,
! ED. YORK, D. c. Pm. T.

SOVIET UNION
RAISES WAGES
FOR MILLIONS
RETTFR MANAGEMENT HAS
MATERIAL REWARD

London. Oct. 20. - Dispatches
from the Soviet Union state that
special commission has recon-
mended further wage increases 10
ba Given TO the workers of many OF
the principal industries, over ana
above those assured IN the most
recent collective agreements. THESE
general increases will run Iroi"
two to five per cent according 10
the varying conditions.
Millions Will Get Wage Raise.
The increases viii be made ef-
fective soon to coal miners, metal
workers, textile workers, chemical
workers, glass workers, matcn
workers, postal workers and ran
road workers. General wage m
creases for other industries are
recommended to take effect next
year.
In a recent instruction of the
government, signed also by the
trade unions and the Communist
party, the campaign for economy
which has been going on for some
time was pointed out as by no
means signifying a lowering OF the
wages.
A Result of Better Management.
On the contrary. it said, wage
increases would be allowed by the
elimination Of waste and inetfl-
cheney in production and fighting
against wasteful management.
Not only higher wages. but
cheaper products would result anc
the peasantry be able to aid IN the
irdustrialization process by IN
creased purchases Of industrial
products.
