Cowboy, 9S, Inspects
 Texas Ranch Fences

Childress, Texas. July 1T R- There's one chap on the Bud Smith ranch old enough to call himself . "cowman" instead of . cowboy"
 He is Reese Barton, ss-year- cattle puncher. Every day he rides his horse along the fence which in- closes a ranch of 90 square miles. It Is his duty to see that the fence is kept in repair.
 For more than so years Barton has been riding the range, and in all that time he never was hurt when tumbled of an cratic pony Tor injured by any of the wild long, horned steers.
 At sunrise his clear voice rings in the corral of the Smith ranch as he cali for his mount. He works six to ten hours daily. and when there is a roundup he is the first man on horse in the morning and last to dismount at night.
 Barton came to Texas from Flor ida at the age of l6. He was in an isolated wilderness during the Civil war and did not learn about the struggle until it had ended.
 His eycsight is clear. his memory vivid and his hair still black.

LAMkIN COMES 0f
 PROMINENT FAMILY
Educators New Chief Himself
 Brilliant Man

Minneapolis Jlly 1T Rt-A teach CT of teachers has been selected by the teachers Of the nation as their leader for the next year.
 By electing uel Walter Lamkin of Maryville, Mo. as it's new president the National Education association has drawn upon the teacher-training branch of the profession to fill that office for the first time in IS years.
 Miss Cornelia s. Adair of Rich mond. Va. who last year became the first classroom teacher to head the association. will serve this year as first vice president. Her adminis- tration has been concerned largely with development of education for citizenship"
 Lamkin. president of the North west Missouri State Teachers col- lege at Maryville. began his career as principal of the Washington school at Clinton. Mo. in 1897. In recent years he has been a leader among the presidents of Missouri educational institutions in an effort to bring about uniform standards for admission and graduation and . more harmonious curriculum in the schools.
 Lamkin's destiny seems to have been laid out for him by his fore fathers. He has in his possession an arithmetic text written by his great-great-grandfather, Uel w. Lamkin, in North Carolina in 177o. The book was written and bound by hand and was used by its au- thor in teaching school before the Revolutionary war. Lamkin's father F. P. Lamkin. was associated with the Clinton. Mo. Academy for many years.

DR. L. i. ABBOT IS
 NAMED BY COOLIDGE
Becomes Member of National Advisory Committee

Washington. July IT CP - The vacancy caused in the membership of the national advisory committee for aeronautics by the death of its founder. pr. Charles D. Walcott. has been filled with the appoint ment by President Coolidge of Dr. Charles G. Abbot.
 Thus the traditional association Of the Smithsonian institution with the development of aeronautics is main- tained. for Abbot is the successor. in the office Of secretary of that in stitution of both Walcott and s. P. Langley. who first demonstrated the possibility of mechanical flight with heavier-than-air machines. Like Langley he is an astronomer. having been connected with the Astrophys- cal Observatory of the Smithsonian since 1895 and being recognized as one of the worlds leading authori- ties on color radiation.
 The committee for aeronautics was organized in 1918 as an unoffi- cial group by Walcott after he took over the Smithsonian secretary ship. to advise the institution in re- search work relating to aeronautics, which had been suspended with the unsuccessful attempt to launch a man-size model of his flying ma chine in 1903 and his death in 1906. Little was accomplished until 1915. when the committee was formally established by congress with an an- nual appropriation of s5.000 ito supervise and direct scientific study of the problems of flight"
 That act was passed shortly after the outbreak of the world war in recognition of the fact that aircraft was destined to become an im- portant military weapon as we'll as a potentially valuable aid to com- merce. Then, as now. the member ship was drawn by the President from among scientific and military leaders who serve without compen- sation. The appropriation. however. has increased to $600,000. and the number of employees to 200, includ-

and anxious for trouble when they were approached It is surprising the amount of lead a bear can carry. They were too badly hurt to have made their way to us, however. and our care with our last shells was not warranted. Anyhow, We had three bears, good-sized ones although two one cub were black. one cub was brown. as was the one which es- caped. The bears were skinned out after they had been rolled over the chff to a point considerably nearer the ship than they had been. Bear meat was then in order aboard the Westward" and the skins are now being mounted,
 Though we had the excitement of the hunt. Dick Topham and Bill Pape, left on board. must have been treated to a spectacle which can not easily be equalled. From their vantage point they could see us and the bears at the same time. The whole episode was spread before lHelr eyes oil lile lace oli ti'o VIII III a manner that must have been dramatic in the extreme. Theatrical scenery could never rival the set ting, no play more intriguing could even be staged The grandeur of the scenery left an impression Of un- reality on the beholder. the spectacle of the hunt was undoubtedly similar to q dream. l am glad l was one Of the active participants. l regret that I could not have seen the ani- mated tableau as well.

 From the left Of the ledge, as We faced It. rock slide built cause way to the water. Its apex was a snowdrift, lodged at the top Of the slide, and above a water fall tumbled out from cleft, undermined the snowdrift and roared down the rockslide to the sea. At the back Of the ledge was sheer cliff, the righthand corner Of 1t terminating bears had made their way to the ledge up the rock slide, and they could not leave it excepting by the same path. Therefore if we went up the slide the bears had to stay where they were or come down the slide and into us So We reasoned. and prepared for action.
 Stalking Game Up Rock Slide

Although We had but about zoo yards to so, most Of it up, We had 10 proceed with the greatest of care. Noise would disturb the bears-they should not be allowed to See us. We had to pick every step as there was always the threat of starting rockslide Of our own, with ourselves at the center, and then it was quite possible that the animals would be Fin our midst on q little party of their own at any time. With beat ing hearts and panting breath we struggled upwards on all fours at times, banging up our pet rifles on rough and jagged rocks. Excite ment played its part in our trip. steps. Finally the snow field was reached indicating that We had come to the top of the slide and were only about a hundred yards from our game. which we had not seen since we left the beach. Caution was re- doubled. We ,crawled over the slight shoulder of the slide until We could see the ledge-and there was our game They had just seen us and were milling around, now against the face of the cliff in back, now to the edge of the ledge in front, now to consider the only means Of escape, across our path. It was a memorable scene before the shooting started.
 One of us, who can say which, got on his target first, the 30 Govern ment rife roared and the fusillade started. Bear after bear went down to get up again and go down under another shot. There's one down. give him another" We concen- trated our fire on one bear at a time. Shooting accurately enough, but with great speed we soon had exhausted our cartridges of which we had none too many when we started. There were but two left and we had three bears down for good it seemed. One was still left but we refused to use the last cart ridge in our gun on him as we were facing three wounded bears any one of which might get up and come for us at any time. The last shot was to be reserved for close quarters if necessary.
 Quarry Down But Not Out
 The fourth bear crossed the snow slide some 20 yards from us. un- wounded. and made his way up into the cleft from which the stream is sued. The other three were not yet quite dead though they had been hit three or four times apiece. They had to be despatched at close quarters after more cartridges had been ob- tained from the ship.
