OF ali the cities in south Texas,
Brownsville needs a gymnasium
worst Of all. A gym whereby in.
door baseball. basketball. a bowling
alley. and many other kinds Of sports
may be had. There is nothing so
conducive 70 a city's general demesn-
or than athletic events between its
citizens In a gymnasium. "A munir.
irally owned gym, say with an audi
forum In connection, WOULD be a
good investment for Brownsville.
Something for the city fathers to
think about.
Out at the high school, with its
splendid buildings, faculty and
pupiis--aH these are there-but
no gymnasium. The authorities
owe II 20 themselves and the ru-
pills 20 build q gymnasium whereby
athletics Of this sort may be i'm
duIged In In the proper msnne
Tex Becerri1, Brownsville fight
promoter, is making elaborate prep
arasions for his fight card to be
staged at the Fort Brown skating
rink Feb. Is. Dick Wymore. the lit

Of the principal fighters. A worthy
opponent will be matched against
Dick, the promoter announces.
If you must hunt for heard Of and
unheard Of fossils Of cons Of years
ago, you will be required to take out
does If he goes after other wild
game In Texas, II a bill introduced
In the Texas senate by Senator c. c,
Small becomes a law. The Houston
Post itch's Houston" column o.
Wednesday. says of this subject:
Every person who hunts sought.
after game In Texas Is required BY
law TO secure beforehand a hunters
license. Under the provisions of a
bill introduced in the upper house
by Senator G. c. Small, every person
who hunts game a couple of three
million years old would be required
TO take out n FOSSIL hunters license
although il sounds freakish. Sen.
ator Small's bill would serve a gooc
cause. Texas is gaining fame as q
state where fossils Of major scien'
tific interest and value are located
The state at present has no means
OF checking UP on fossil discoveries
or keeping track Of specimens re,
moved by searching parties from
other states. II is desirable that q
record OF all important finds bs
kept, and the fossil hunters license
arrangement would provide machin'
cry for this purpose"
sNow, we belong 20 that clan who
believe the game laws are all out
Of proportion In that what one
law affects one part of Texas IL
works TO u disadvantage In other
parts. But the. fossil hunters H.
cense may be made uniform to
cover the whole Of the state and
not be a detriment 10 any partic-
ular section And up around Roma
and those parts. "finds" have been
made Of prehistoric animals. etc.
No the petrified animals will be
just M good In the summer AZ in
the winter. and the proposed bill
may be made uniform. and no kick
made at all along those lines.
