own quest of fame.
 Aviation is recording new achieve
 ments steadily. The NC planes of the
 navy first spanned the Atlantic, AL
 cock and Brown did it from New
 foundland to England in enc hop.
 and then Lindbergh flew from
 continent to continent in the flight
 that first attracted popular atten-
 tion to flying. The American army
 fliers went around the world and in
 so doing registered the first west
 ward crossing of the Atlantic, then
 came the German Bremen. which
 almost made it in one flight and
 now the 70" has completed the con-
 quest of the North Atlantic by back tracking Lindbergh's trail from one
 continent to another.
 The South Atlantic has been flown. Kingsford- Smith has spanned the Pacific in several daring jumps Byrd has winged over both poles. Little of the earth remains to be explored.
 In the field of invention new im- provements in transportation are be- ,:,ole being developed which permit the carrying out of plans previously im- possible. Radio has been brought to high mechanical pitch of perfec- tion, the talking picture has achiev- ed success, and television is poised on the brink of commercial possi- bility. Nitrogen is being plucked from the air instead of being dug laboriously from the earth, but even the older process has been vastly simplified by modern methods. And other accomplishments for which no newspaper or magazine could find room to record have been performed.
 The young man may well pause, then, and wonder if there will be anything left for him to achieve, any field in which he may pioneer. But he need not be so worried, for the possibilities are still almost numberless and seem rather to be increasing than decreasing For each | new invention, far from closing it's | field, opens a new range of invit- ing prospects for jealous workers to | explore. Every new aviation achieve ment means that planes are being improved in a way which brings former lmpossibilities closer to realization.
 By way of example, a nonstop flight across the Pacific cannot be many years in the future. Re-fuel- ing holds out the possibility of an airplane voyage around the world pause, and future develop ments may even make re-fueling It is rash, perhaps, but not entirely foolish to prophecy that man may sometime reach the moon, or even the nearer planets. And, if scientific progress continues at it's present feverish pace boundless new possibilities of which we cannot now even conceive will undoubtedly be unfolded-for who a century ago 2ven dreamed of the automobile, the 'adio. the airplane, or the electric ight?

The long-awaited invasion BY
southern clubs Of the northern divi-
sion OF the Texas league was In
full sway today, with the spotlight
playing on the inaugural between
the league leading Beaumont Ex-
porters and the Fort Worth Cats at
Pantherville. Second in interest was
the visit OF the Houston Bluffs, oc-
cupantS OF second place, 10 the
Sports orchard at Shreveport.
Although three games do not a
season make. the series at Fort
Worth and Shreveport might well
prove the turning point in the cur

Bluffs get away to a good start on
their first long road trip they
promise to be hard to stop.
Two OF the northern outfits drew
what appeared to be soft spots az
the outset OF the present invasion
The Dallas Steers were bracketed
with San Antonio for three days,
and Wichita Falls had every reason
TO anticipate easy pickings at the
expense Of the Waco Cubs, shot 70
pieces by the Beaumont artillery.
If ever a club caught a country
licking, the Cubs were the victims
the last three days. AS a parting
shot, the Exporters hung a II 70

terday. In three days Of target
practice at Katy park the shippers
hung up a record Of As runs, a mark
that probbaly will stand for the
season.
Houston moved into second place
with its third straight over the
docile San Antonio Indians. 10 TO
2. While Lefty Reinhardt kept
eight blows scattered to win his
second straight. every man in the
Buff lineup contributed to the
onslaught on Estill and Carson.

ed four straight was stemmed when

uphill drive TO nose out Dallas. z
