Jungle Monarchs Lose
Ferocity in Daylight

Many of the jungle animals bearing
regulations for ferocity are exceeding
Nv timid during the daytime. A resi-
dent of India studying in this country
is authority for this statement and he
says that he has repeatedly approached
Ilions or tigers at a distance Of 90
yards and instead of attacking him
They have skunk away. At night, how
the situation is quite different.
Hhese animals seem to become en-
boldened by the dark. Elephants rare
lily attack a man unless provoked. A
native forester riding over one Of the
paths through jungle accidentally
Lcollided with a cub elephant, where
upon the enraged mother seized the

ypieces. Ordinarily the elephants will

Early Umbrellas Clumsy

The first fashionable sunshades I'm
ported into England were luxurious af.
fairs, composed on the outside of bird
feathers. During Queen Anne's reign
a more practical oiled silk came into
use and umbrellas began to be used
as much on rainy days as they were
under the summer sun. These early
English specimens were clumsy af-
fairs made of heavy waxcloth with
cane ribs. When wet, the material
stuck together and opening or closing
them was a job for a superman. 1t
was not until 1852 that Samuel Fox
invented the modern type.-Detroit

Flags Of the Confederaey

There were four Confederate flags.
1.-The first was selected by committee
of six persons of the Confederate con-
gress. This flag did not meet with the
approval of the people, as it too close
Aresembled the Union emblem. The
nd flag was designed by Edward
Hancock in October, 1861. But as
rs was battle flag it was not sat
sfactory, as the people wished ma
tional emblem in addition to one for
battle. On May 1, 1868, the Confed-
Eate congress selected the third flag.
his also was disapproved for two
easons: The first, because it had
o much white and resembled the
dg of truce; and second, because it
was too similar to the English white
ensign. Finally on May A, 1864, the
national Confederate flag was ap-
proved.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Foreign Advertising Representatives


In the death OF Col. WIN. T. Johnston the nation
has lost a heroic soldier. the Twelfth Cavalry has lost
a competent, respected commander and Brownsville
has lost a true friend.
Col. Johnston, dying just before reaching the end
Of his s4th year and retirement from the army, had
devoted two-thirds of all his years to the service Of
his country, had performed valiantly in two wars, and
had given even more valuable service in time Of peace.
In recognition of his heroic attachments the United
States had seen fit to bestow upon him the Distin-
guished Service Medal, one Of the highest decorations
in the power of the country to grant, and the Silver
Star citation.
The d. S. M. was conferred upon him "for con-
spicuous and meritorious service in a position Of great
responsibility. His military record, on file in the Of
flee Of the adjutant general at Washington, says:
He organized and administered the officers train
ang camps from the outbreak of the war until July IS,
1918; and thereafter rendered conspicuous service as
Chief OF Staff, Southern Department"
The Silver Star citation was awarded "for gallantry
in action against ~insurgent forces during expedition to
the provinces north Of Manila, p. l., during the months
of September, October and November II, 1899"
Those are cold words to describe the deeds which
won for him special honors. Nothing is said OF the
long hours and untiring efforts to train officers TO
lead the United States armies in the great World war;
nothing Is told Of the dark nights In the Junsles OF
the Philippines, when with head hunters and bush
wackers on every hand. he led his men to the &C
complishment Of almost su~perhuman tasks. The win
ming Of those honors would make a tale worth hear
ing. but Col. Johnston was not the man to tell such
tales, and 50. only the cold words Of the military
record relate his attainments.
Brownsville will remember him as a friend who
always was ready to do anything he could for the
development Of the city, and all the Valley will pay
tribute TO his ~unfailing loyalty to this, his last earthly
home.
Officers and men alike at Fort Brown pay tribute
TO his determination ANY ordinary man would have
died two years before Col. Johnston" they say, land
an ordinary man would have been in bed permanently
three years before"
Knowing he could not live long-realizing that the
end Of life was near-he carried on.
When his body is laid to rest in Arlington National
cemetery the United States will have laid to rest the
mortal remains of another hero-a man fit to lie in
that distinguished company.

All Summer Session of Congress

Chmn. Reed Smoot Of Utah, the big voice of the
finance committee Of the upper house. has announced
hearings on the tariff bill to start June II. He pre-
diets the hearings will last six weeks and the rewrit-
ten bill would be ready for the senate by Sept. i.
Sen. William 4. Borah Of Idaho declared the tariff
bill a sham so far as the farmer was concerned; that
the special session was called with a view of granting
relief to the farmer and "snce the tariff measure in
its present form was not a farm relief bill, con-
gress ought to stay on the job and finish the work
which we have assigned ourselves"
Is there to be an all summer session Of the con-
gress? Sens. Smoot and Borah have spoken. Borah
demands a farm relief bill that will give relief; Smoot
a tariff bill that viii be ready for consideration Sep

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT c. PLUMNIER

WASHINGTON, June 1O.-Now that hot weather
has descended upon Washington it's a toss-up be-
tween Young Bob La Toilette and Tom Helm as to
which more nearly approaches what the wel-dressed
United States senator should wear in the way Of sum-
mer clothing.
Opinions vary according to the two schools Of
fashion. Those who subscribe to the theory that a
senator should dress the part are inclined to follow
Helm. Those who believe that a senator should look
no different from the ordinary layman side with La
Toilette
Certainly the two are as far apart in the choice OF
their wardrobe for the summer as two people possibly
could be.
