Texas Cannibals and Their History

Texans should not be chesty. Cannibals lived in
Texas as late as the year 1884. George C. Martin is
responsible for the tale-or the invention. He insists that
mineralized bones found in graves and kitchen mlddens
at Rockport clearly indicated their presence. Further
more these Texas cannibals bathed in shark oil to dis
courage mosquitoes and braided rattle snake buttons into
their hair for decorations They raided inland Texas as
late as 1914, and then disappeared in canoes on which
they had hoisted stolen quilts as sails. They never have
been seen since. To quote from a once favorte poem,
80, why should the spirit of mortal be proud" Were
these cannibals Of 1914 the descendants of LaFitte pirates
of 1914 and 1916? Why not sensational features to the
story Of archaeology.

Muscle Shoals Bobs Up Again

Pres. Hoover appointed a commission to solve the
Muscle Shoals problem. That commission reported and
the report favored the manufacture of concentrated fer
tilizer and fertilizer materials and recommended private
operation of the costly plant under lease contracts. The
governors of Tennessee and Alabama and representatives
of the legislature of the two states are members Of the
Hoover commission. This places all responsibility or
most of the responsibility on southern democrats. Now
what action will the congress take after organization in

PETROLEUM IN 1880

The year 1880 in the petroleum industry has been characterized by the establishment of large poten- tial production of crude oil. This has resulted in closer cooperation between companies by corporation and unit operation agreements in order to afford an outlet to all, and to prevent a flood of oil being fore ed on the market with attendant tremendous material and economic waste. Drilling wells in proven area and wildcat wells were fewer than in the past several years.
