Bands Add
Color to DePaul-
Brownsville Tilt

The air at Tucker Stadium Fri
day was p%ermeated with music dur
ing the Brownsville-DePsu football
game, and there was a reason.
Not only was Brownsville's own
American Legion drum and bugle
corps on hard to do their bit, but
they were abettcd by the high
school bands of Harrington and San
Benito.
Never before in the history OF this
city since the time that footbaii
took a strange hold on the larynx
of football fandom has such a
qusntity and variety been heard at
a game.
Not only did they play before ths
game and at intermissions during
the contest, but they took part ia
the demonstration between the
halves which was probably the most
elaborate ever staged here.
In addition to their music aGd
parading during the half, the drum
and bugle corps led carriers with
a banner boosting the s2.000.0 900
navigation district bond itsue that
went over with u resounding bank az
the polls Saturday.

Commend Work II Women
The work Of the various women's
committees received unstinted com
msndation from the port committee
Saturday night.
"The fact that Brownsville polled
over 1000 votes may be attributed
to their efforts" was the statement
OF III. l.. Yates, chairman Of tie
campaign committee. "In several of
the precincts the women's commit
tees worked energetically to get out
the vote, and in this respect they
proved far superior TO the men.
Il can say for me port commit
tee that we greatly appreciate the
overwhelming majority rolled up for
the district and the So, 000, 600 bond
issue. 1t proves beyond question the
interest the residents Of the
Brownsville navigation district in
the proposition of securing deep
water. and it also proves they are
willing 20 put up their money to Sc
cure this project which will be Of
incalculable benefit to Brownsville
and the entire Lower Rio Grande
Valley.
"We appreciate the efforts OF the
committee members, and especially
the women who worked 80 e~nergeti-
cally and efficiently"

They had no indication, however, that
the rate would continue to increase.
C~omparisos between the number
Of cases this year and during the
1918 outbreak was impossible, Of
ficers said, but added it was their
opinion the 1918 outbreak was con-
siderably longer.
Officers were still puzzled at the
great number OF cases in this out
break, and the relatively negligible
mortality. Reports from rs large
cities showed LAS deaths from in
fluenza and 5,G08 from pneumonia
during the period between October

Many Are Perplexed.
Throughout the world there are many
people who see that the real issue OF the
day is between Christ and the world.
They are moved to become followers OF
Christ, but perplexed as to how to
reconcile discipleShip with the splr-
itual mediocrity and narrow outlook OF
many a parish. They desire to find In
the church the vehicle through which
ardent discipleship can find an outlet.
Throughout the world there are many
priests, far removed from the Lmeilght,
living in places where Christ Is not
popular, who are gladly giving their
lives in making new alleglanceS TO
Christ and securing fresh verdlcts Tor
Him. These are the people who should
have the backing of this convention.
They can be cheered or chilled by the
things on which this convention lays
emphasis. It will break the hearts of
many earnest disciples if this conven-
ton squanders time over obsolete issues
or current questions of only secondary
importance. Forgetting those things
which are behind and reaching forth

DR.. Beanes had endeavored to raise a
