U. of Texas Awaits
 Building Fund Growth

AUSTIN, Texas, May S.=The University of Texas holds some classes in wooden shacks while it is waiting for it's $S,O00,00O building fund to grow
 Only the income from the fund may be spent fer new buildings under restriction of the State Constitution. None of the $s,000,- 900, which was derived from the sale of the university's oil lands, may be spent even in the pur- chase of bonds commanding a premium. Because of the high prices now prevailing in the bond market. some of the interest from the fund must be used in paying the margin above par for securl- ties in which additional proceeds of land sales may be invested.
 Cost of administration of the fund also is paid from the in terest income, and consequently Pres. H. Y. Benedict fears the university will have only a small sum left for building purposes at the end of 1928.

LOS ANGELES. May S-iTuman brains. money and machinery are turning the Santa Clara river val ley of death into a oauldron of energy, seething with new life.
 Into this peaceful orchard vale. swept by desolating flood when the St. Francis dam burst, nave poured the resources of the Assa- ciated Contractors of the city Of Los Angeles to dig it out of it's pail of silt, replant it's orange groves, rebuild it's shattered homes and restore it as nearly as pos sible to it's former estate.
 Tented towns of reconstruction workers have risen along the course of the little river where pent up waters, when they broke loose, cost approximately 400 lives Where a torrent from 40 to 75 feet high swept through the mid. night blackness in March, now . quiet ambling brook meanders to the sea, held to it's course by a puny rampant of sandbags scarce ly one foot high.
 On both sides of it, along a stretch of 25 miles, the gangs of rebuilders are feverishly at work, replacing desolatIon with habita. tion and dead silt beds with hu- man and plant life.
 Thousands of trees from orchard and highway borders were de stroyed and those that still stand in the pathway over which the flood rushed are mute witnesses of it's force Instead of being erect they lean, TOW after row. to- wards the sea, bent and tom by the onrush of water from above.
 From the silt. in some sections many feet deep, the steam shoyels and individual workers bring up the wreckage of dozens of homes that were plotted out in the ca tastrophe, and now and then a body to add to the toll.
 Brushing aside technicalities with the same frankness and quickness with which it admitted moral and legal responsibility, the city of Los Angeles got the work of restoration underway almost before the flood had ceased to run.

WOULD-BE WINNERS
 OF ICE POOL MAKE
 COCO GUESSES HERE

Ticket stubs flew into waste paper baskets as owners, with dis appointed frowns or smiles, toss ed them aside upon receipt of news here Sunday of the break up at Nenana at 4:25 o'clock Sun day afternoon and the passing of $50 900 to man at Fairbanks and man and woman at La touche.
 Although il is probable some ticket holders came within min ute, or two. of winning a slice of the money, rumors to that effect were not verified by investiga. tions. As far as could be learned today Ernest Robinson of the Sanitary Grocery gave the win ners one of the closest races from Juneau with his guess of 4:21 only four minutes off.
 Joe Hunter of the Arctic Pool Hall was five minutes too late, his guesses of 4:30 and 4:39 fail ing to bring returns. George Baromas of the U. and l. Cafe was also among the close ones with 4:35.
 Among the would be winners was Fred Barragar. who guessed the correct time of day, but his 1925. D. m. was dated May 5 in stead of May 6. Mike Seston guessed closer than thousands of others, as he missed the cash by only eighteen minutes, having guessed 4:43.

BEN LYOfIS COMING
 TO PALACE THURSDAY

Three years ago good looking young man, practically unknown to the screen. stepped off the train. anxious to conquer Holly wood. He had played in one pie ture in New York and so im- pressed were First National off cials, that he was signed to a long term contract and assigned to the juvenile lead in Flaming Youth 7
 A short time ago the same young man stepped off another train. This time. however, he was very well known on the screen, and he had Hollywood pretty well in hand.
 The young man who has cone so much in three years is Ben Lyon. now one of First Nationals foremost players.
 Starting with a creditable, but not an outstanding reputation as a juvenile on the stage. Lyon has become one of the screens fore meat leading men in that short space of time.
 He plays the featured male lead opposite Billie Dove in the George Fitzmaurice production, "The Ten der Hour" which begins an en- gaeement at the Palace Thursday and First National is planning a very ambitious progress for him in the future.

are ideal for the purpose. The old shells are dropped in waters near wded beds.
 Because of their lime content the shells have commercial value. Those sold are ground for chicken feed and for use in ce- ment manufacturing. Although the sales for these purposes are comparatively small, because of the need of shells in oyster cul- ture, the State realizes about $100.000 annually from what is known as mud she'll" con glomeration of marine lines which have accumulated for cen turies.
 The State has two boats ply ing up and down the coast, pro- tecting and promoting the oyster industry.

 Senator Wheeler. burning with in- dignation and primed for action, made the comment he did not sec the necessity of evicting helpless women and children from their homes, which were not needed for other families. Others will agree with him that there is much un- necessary brutality practiced in every such outbreak in the coal re- sions.
 The disturbance is well worth a congressional investigation. It is the business of the nation that such an important industry as coal mining r. conducted with fairness on both sides, The public cannot afford 10 be callous merely because the sup ply of coal is larger than the market needs at the present time.

BOY SCOUTS ANNIVERSARY

Once upon a time every young ster's sole ambition was to become 8 locomotive engineer. Perhaps the ambition still turks in the breasts of many: but nowadays a. normal lad, when still of tender years, also owns an ambition to become a Boy Scout when he "gets little older"

During this time youths have graduated from the organza- ton and are better men for having been identified with it during their young and formative years.
