 Automobile Needed
 Tt is our belief that the work of the deputy chiefs and the master mechanic can be greatly extended through a small outlay Of money in the purchase Of an inexpensive car which could be used by all three. The inspection work carried on by the deputy chiefs and the necessity paratus makes it essential that we provide transportation for these men. IT we are given this appro- rriation it will be possible to end criticism Of the use, by the master mechanic. of a privately owned au- ton1obile in responding to alarms.

 'DurlnS the current fiscal year We hope to complete the remodeling of No. station on which work has been in progress for more than year. This is one Of the oldest sta tions in the city. We have carried on repair work in all other houses from time to time, and when this job is completed. all will have been brought up to satisfactory condition.

Coast Guard Anthem.

THE United States Marine Corps has
its official anthem, "Semper FL
delis." The Navy has" Anchors Aweigh." J"
Now the United States Coast Guard,
the Oldest uniformed service of the
Nation, originally mustered in back in
1890, Is to have its official marching
song, too.
This song. "Semper Paratus," It is
announced is to have "its official in
auguration" at the Fox Theater this
week. with the Coast Guard partici-
pating, supported by the entire Fox
stage and orchestra ensemble
This presentation, 1t is announced,
will be the first public rendition of the
anthem, written in 1922 by a member
of the service, Capt. Francis s. Van
Boskerck.
Admiral F.. C. Billiard, commandant
OF the Guard, it is explained, ordered
the famous old ship Apache from
Norfolk last week to bring a detach-
ment of so men to participate in the
presentation of the anthem. These
men. in light marching equipment and
with an ensign In command. will be a
part of each performance during the
week. A special drill will be given by
them.
The song was written by Capt. Van
Boskerck at sea on his ship the Yam
acraw in 1922. Being sea dog" he
did not want his fellow service men
to know OF his musical Inclination. He
kept the anthem In his locker for many
months. The day after it was accepted
by the commandant of the Guard as It's
official anthem, it is said, Capt. Van
Boskerck died.
The words OF Capt. Van BoSkercks
anthem follow:
From Aztec shore to Arctic Zone,
To Europe and Far East.
The flag is carried by our ships
In times Of war and peace;
And never have we struck 1t yet,
In spite Of foemen's might.
Who cheered our crews and cheered
again
For showing how to fight.
CHORUS.
So here's the Coast Guard marching
song
We sing on land or sea.

Born in Texas-Proud of 1t.

THE youthful and original Tex M
Leod, known as "the VIII Roger
Of Europe" has been added TO the
growing list OF B. F. Keith vaudeville
novelty importations from the far cor
ners Of the world.
Yet the fact remains tnat Tex was
born at Gonzales. near San Antonio,
Tex, November IL, 1893
Tex achieved fame and experience as
cowpuncher, rodeo rider, lariat
swinger and broncho buster long before
he set sail for foreign lands to show
the outside world just what real
American "buckaroo" can do. Since
then, Tex's fame has grown as much By
what he says as by what he does. and
his cowboy stunts and accompanying
monologues, although wholly different
from those of the illustrious VIII
Rogers, have made Mcleod Of Texas"
the darling Of music halls and variety
theaters in Great Britain and the
European continent.
In addition to being an accomplished
wizard Of the lariat and raconteur Of
impromptu and hair-trigger wit, Nc
Leod has the added advantage of being
more or less Of physical Adonis al
though he doesn't go much on looks
and insists, II look damsite better on
horse than on the stage or in a pic
ture"
He goes further in his chosen direc-
ton by adding: And I'm a good
wrestler. throwing everything that
comes my way-a rope or bull-ac-
companied by pleasant remarks per-
tanning to the great and small events
Of the days and nights latest news"
Tex Mcleod, as a lad, starred with
Buffalo Bills Wild West Ranch 10l"
and few minor rough-riding tent
shows, but he made his stage debut and
achieved his chief success on the stage
Of London music hall.

and sets here. They all dream Of the
motion picture as the ideal career.
AT that, they may not be far wrong.
The notion picture has done more for
the cause OF youth in the last 20 years
than any other agency. 1t has accom-
pllSlaed the emancipation of youth. 1t
has freed youth from the Shac&les of
midcile-aged restraint. the binding regu-

upon it.

there has never been an age when the
parents did not absolutely control youth.
Few parents realize that life changes

Kipling says, to bind their children's
hands with the thongs which con-
strained their own youth.
The motion picture has changed all
that. It has given youth vision, a
courage to assert itself. 1t has made
old people younger, brought the two eX-
tremeS in closer sympathy. 1t has
shown young people how to be young
shown them sports. merriment, happi-

youth as the greatest treasure.

why the sun rises and sets in the west
