eminent 10 keep passes open along
the Texas Gulf of Mexico coast for
the fish, oyster and shrimp industry,
is asked in resolutions passed by the
Texas Fish Dealers at Corpus Christi,
it was announced by Judge ]. R.
Smith, chief deputy game, fish and
oyster commissioner, today.
Stating that because many Of the
bays cannot get fresh gulf water and
fish will not enter them and cannot
be caught in the gulf waters, the
fishermen and fish dealers declare that
it is of nationwide Importance that
the channels be kept open by the
government, because Texas fisher
men are supplying much Of the sea
food for the public.
Deputy Smith said that Laguna
Madre was the finest place in the
world for fish spawning except that
fresh gulf water could not get into
it and that 60 miles from the shall
low channel the water is so salty
that it blinds and kills tse fish.

By B. c. FORBES

The one man who is attracting
most attention in the financial world
by his Napoleonic achievements is
Clarence Dillon. He is only AZ.
Born in San Antonio, Tex, with
rich mixture of practical and
romantic strains of blood in his veins.
he has succeeded better than auy
other financial giant in retaining his
love for and finding time for the ar

finds almost as much time for leisure,
for travel, for culture, for roaming

He has a veritable genius for max

He conceiveS. he plans, he develops
gigantic operations. and then leaves
all the details TO others. No routine
business ever reaches his desk. He
remains detached, foot-free, mind-free

Many bankers have tried to induce

bull 's-eye by arranging to float 10

magnitude by the late John III. Pat
