said to have been the equal of any of any of the great master teach CTS. Among his pupils were Mischa Elman, Efrem zimbalist, Jascha Heifetz. Kathleen Parlow, Isolde Menges, Eddy Brown and Max Pcsen. The success of his pupils has been regarded as the masters great service to his art, a service that has immeasurably advanced the cause of music.
 Unique Tribute
 An unique tribute was paid to MT. Auer in April 1925, at Carne- gie Hall, New York, when two of his most famous pupils, zimbalist and Heifetz, and the planists Jos eff Hofmann, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Ossip Gabrilowitsch combined in a concert in honor of the great master having reached his S0th year. MT. Auer appeared in the opening number with zimbalist and Heifetz and as solos played Tchai- vosky's "Melodie" and Bra nm s Hungarian Dance Several hun dred were unable to gain admis- sion to the concert, the proceeds of which were said to have ap- proximated $2o,000

Upon the death of Henri Wieniawski he was ap- pointed professor at the Conserva- toire at St. Petersburg, and his reputation having preceded him, he immediately took leading place in musical circles. In addition to conducting frequently the symphony concerts given by the Imperial Musical Association, he was solo violinist to the court. One of the functions of the latter position was playing the violin solo in the ballet at the Imperial Opera House, for which special work he received from the Czar an annual stipend of $1,- 800. It had been a traditional cus- tom at St. Petersburg to engage a famous violinist for this purpose, Auer's predecessors having been Wieniawski and VieuXtemps.

AT TEN MINUTES OF TWO

There were clear skies for the wedding. The Leslie household was astir much earlier than usual with everyone from the maids to Dr. Leslie himself assisting in final preparations for the ceremony at two o'clock. Bundles and Jiggs, which were not the given names of Mary Lou's two younger sisters, were far more excited about the affair than the bride -to-be.
 Mary Lou, however, had been awake most of the night, but 1t was not because she was too happy to sleep. Her mind still was filled with troubled thoughts. Finally she resolved to let fate run it's course flor there was nothing else to do. T think I could have borne this ordeal better if it had rained," she thought, as the sun began to shine brightly. If you're unhappy, fine day seems to make things worse as though the weather were mocking you"
 She pulled herself out of bed, and curled up on low bench by the window, her feet tucked under her. and her chin in her hands.
 T suppose I'll accept Brynmor in time,' she unused. T accept things fairly easily. Perhaps the time will come when l will go so far as to wonder whether l ever was in love with Tony Tithering- ton.
 Still there's no excuse for me. Modern girls don't marry the wrong man. If you marry the wrong man these days it's youI own fault. I'm just a little idiot who became engaged to the wrong man because the right one didn want me. It was only a gesture but it may be gesture that I'll regret all my life. Yet, when I'm old and grey, I probably won't care any longer
 Jay came in with cup of tea for her. She wore the black SIR kimono with the scarlet embroid- cry. The sight of it gave Mary Lou a twinge of pain. She first had seen Jay in that kimono tho night after the bath-tub episode in Tony's flat.
 4How's the little bride?" smiled Jay, settling herself on one end O. Mary Lou's bed.
 Mary Leu shaded her face iron the sunlight.
 "Oh, just glowing with happlnes and all that sort of thing.
 Jay caught the sarcastic tone o her remark, as Jay always sense' the meaning of things.
 This is going to be an aWfu fiasco.n she thought. Why IS sh doing it? I wish Jerry were here He's helpful about things like this.
 Look here, Mary Lou" she sai' aloud. If you feel that way abou it why do, you go ahead? It's no too late, you know
 Mary Lou replied with fain smile of irony.
 Daddy would have to pay 10 the wedding breakfast, anyhow, s we may as well eat it. Besides" sh added, "aren't you being rathe sentimental all of sudden?'
 Jay almost upset her tea.
 Sentimental? Me-sentimentall
 ~Certainly you are" Mary Lo admonished her. If you weren you'd know it is better for gil to marry anyone than to be an ol maid"
 eOn the other hand" Jay coun tered lis Brynmor just anyone?"
 Mary Lou didn't reply. She ss motionless, staring out of the wir dow, Presently she reached for towel.

After the division of the expedition
at Samarkand, Mr.. Westover con-
t.nued his journey westward to Bak-
hara and Chadjui. and thence to the
north across the great Karakum
desert to the Aral sea. He also COW
cred the territory east Of the Black
sea. and obtained samples Of alfal-
IA seed from almost every section
of Turkestan, including various var
ieties of wild alfalfa growing IN the
mountains. In addition he brought
back seeds of many grasses and wild
legumes, many OF which are ex-
pected to prove adaptable to the
semi-arid sections Of the West and
Southwest.

petition vas the seat Of the worlds

II was in this section that the SCI

oped. and though "a and politi-
cal changes have TO a great degree
eliminated the culture OF a bygone
day. the results Of the work of the
early agriculturists and h~orticultur-
lists have not been completely dissi-
pated. 1t is regarded as a fertile
field for research by those scientists

world has contributed more to Amer

II Is very probable that a num-
Der of the pistache seed brought
back by DR.. Whitehouse will be
planted at the experiment farm

Cyanide Valley, and that other plant
ing will be made in the Laredo or

Deep Water Port and Ain
Companies to Aid City,
Yates Believes

Deep water port-~airport devel-
opments - highways - 1880 the
brightest year in the history OF
Brownsville.
These are the highlights Of the
future for the city as seen by Judge
II. L. Yates, chamber Of commerce
president.
Every project which will be a fac
tor for Brownsville development Will
be sponsored or supported by the
chamber, said President Yates.
The biggest thing in the city's
history, Of course" continued Mr..
Yates, "is the deep water port.
Nothing comparable to 1t has been
known In the past"
With the navigation district IN
command Of all possible subsidi-
aries to the channel, possibility Of
the evils Of private ownership will
b. at a minimum, believes Mr..
Yates.
The Kansas City, Brownsville air
passenger line, the fastest long
route Of its type. will aid in keeping
Brownsville to the fore in aviation
and will be of material benefit to
many municipal and private busi-
nesses of the city, according to Mr..
Yates. He sees highways and air
ways as Of great importance and
stressed the fact th-t much trade
would come this way with compile
ton Of the Hug-the-C Coast highway.
Although not in the program Of
things expected for 1880. smelters
will dot the landscape around
Brownsville with the ports opening,
the president said. He believes
Guggenheim interests and British
owned Mexican mine companies will
make the most of the water trans
portation from Brownsville to Eu-
rope.
While the chambers work dur
ing this twelve month period will
be rather hum-drum to the average
citizen. President Yates pointed out,
the development Of the city will be
paramount.
No change in the personnel Of
the organization is anticipated. The
authorized staff is complete, rs
persons being employed.

PANAMA, Feb. l4-Sixty million
dollars will be spent by the United
States government to facilitate in
creased shipping through the Pan
anna canal to make possible further
development Of tourist trade and
to provide flood control OF the
Chagres river.
All this development points toward
uninterrupted operation Of the
Pedro Miguel and Gatun locks.
One danger faced Is the possibility
of these two locks going out Of
commission should the average an
nual rainfall drop below 1872 inches.
Should water in Gatun lock fall
below the 80-foot level, both locks
would go out OF commission be-
cause Of insufficient water. To IL
lustrate. 1t requires approximately
one million gallons Of water to
raise a ship through the Gatun and
Pedro Miguel locks. Once this water
passes over the spillway II Is lost
forever. Thus there is a constant
drain on the atun lake supply.
Alhajuela Dam
Forty miles from the mouth OF
the Chagres river the government
will begin construction Of Alhaju-
ella dam this year, to cost sl2, 000.-
900. The proposed dam will be $50
feet high and 1000 feet long and
will create a lake Of surplus water
supply % square miles in extent.
II also will increase the water sup
ply Of Gatun lake from twenty
two billion cubic feet 10 thirty-one
billion cubic feet.
Construction OF Alhajuela dam,
according to Governor Harry Bur-
CESS, will serve a three-fold pur-
pose. It will eliminate the danger
OF the Chagres river flood waters
damaging the Pedro Miguel and
Gatun locks. will assure continued
operation for a least 100 years even
in the face OF a ~protracted dry spell
and will permit operation OF an
additional triple set OF locks and

PISTACHE NUT

BY z L. SEXTON

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-Seed OF
b new and highly prolific variety OF
pistache nut, which II Is believed
viii prove adaptable to the soil and
climatic conditions OF South Texas,
have been received by the Bureau Of
Plant Introduction from Mesopo-
tamia and propagation Of this var
tety upon a commercial scale in the
Southwest Is expected TO have the
aid Of the Department OF Agricul-
ture.
Announcement was made by the
Plant Introduction Bureau that the
seed would not be distributed. They
viii be planted at the various ex-
pertinent stations in South Texas,
Arizona and California, where they
will receive expert care. and the
young trees will be distributed TO
individuals whom the Department
Is assured will not neglect them.
The new variety was discovered in
Mesopotamia by Dr. w. z. White
house, head of one Of the Depart
ment's expeditions. and only a IL
mited number of the seed obtained.
The nut is larger than the average
pistache of commerce. and the trees
bear prolifically. Climatic and soil
conditions In the native habitat OF
this variety are similar in practi-
eally all respects to those OF South
Texas. and 1t Is believed 1t can be
produced upon a commercial scale.
