functioning. But the city's 26, 900 in

without loss of life.
Cessation of heavy rains on wa
tersheds of the Concho's three branch
es apparently brought an end to the
nigh water which isolated San An
gelo, washed away more than 300
homes and damaged TOO others.
Business men raised a $500 emer-

the homeless hundreds. The rescue
OF six persons stranded in tree-tops

would add death to its toll.

NEW YORK, September 19-Vice
President John N. Garner, in one of
his rare interviews, said yesterday he
was "in full accord with the results
of Mr.. Roosevelt's program from the
time he took Office until now"
mo man." added the Presidents
running mate. "of independent
thought could be for every detail"
Smoking a cigar he said cost about
6i2 cents, Garner, appearing unex-
pectedly at Democratic Chairman
James A. Farley's press conference,
said there was strong possibility
the President would get bigger
electoral vote than in 1882.
Silent on Campaign Part.
He said he was not yet ready to
say just what part he would take
in the campaign, but intimated he
would be either here or in Washing
ton most Of the time between now
and the election.
He parried questions about a pos
sible speaking tour by asking news
papermen If they thought Col. Frank
Knox had won any votes for the
Republican ticket.
.All I could do" he said. would
be to talk about the boss and every
oody knows how I stand. I'm 1861

Roosevelt"
Money Safe in Banks"
Referring to a statement by Col
Knox that to-day no insurance policy
is safe. no savings bank deposit Is
secure" Garner said:
Il think money is safe in banks
and believe the people think the
same thing, regardless Of what Mr..
Knox says. The only way you could
lose now would be for the country
to go broke and that Is out Of the
question"
The Vice President said there was
no particular significance attached to
his visit to New York, adding:
Some Of the boys seem to think
have some latent intuition-some
people call it a poker hunch-and
they want to get the benefit Of 1t.

particular form Of heresy we may
encounter"
Turning back to the early days Of
New England, Mr.. Roosevelt said
Harvard then had found her creed
in an admonition Of increase rather
that her students should. above all.
find a friend in truth"
"Only by seeking that same end
through the common will of all citi-
zens." he added, can America "ac-
complish her highest ideals"
Today, he said. the Nation needs
men like such sons of Harvard as
Charles William Eliot, William James
and Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes,
who made their minds swords in the
service of American freedom"
They served America with courage,
wisdom and human understanding"
he observed. They were without
hatred, malice or selfishness. They
were civilized gentlemen"
Seek Men With Vision.
|, At Harvard, he said, the search is
for an atmosphere which produces
men with vision or the ability to ap-
preciate its significance.
Where there Is vision there is tol-
erance," he said, land where there
Is tolerance there Is peace"
Mr.. Roosevelt was sixth on the
afternoon program. given over to the
tercentenary meeting of the Harvard
Alumni, held in pursuance to a vote
Of adjournment taken in 1886.
AS the Chief Executive finished his
audience paid him standing tribute,
applauding for fully a minute.
Then. after the tercentenary chorus
had sung THE Shores of Harvard"
President James Rowland Angel of
Yale University, took the speakers
rostrum to praise the accomplishments
of Harvard and to warn that dangers
exist for endowed institutions in
certain types of taxation now in
creasingly in vogue"
He said there were movements now
which, If left unchecked, will be
hardly less ruinous" than those
which ION the continent have de-
spoiled ancient universities"
He mentioned teachers oaths and
"misguided'' patriotic organizations,
but added that "the attack through
taxation is far more Immediately
serious"
Legacy Taxes Hit.
The attack, Angel said, takes the
form Of attempts by local govern
ments to impose taxes on institutions
tax exempt by legislative enactment
and Of relentless impositions on in
come and legacies of benevolent in
dividuals."
At one point the crowd laughed
with the President as Angel said
Harvard man had told him during
the morning deluge that it was a
demonstration of soaking the rich"
The President shook his head and
grinned.
Speaking again to the alumni meet
ing, Conant reported that friends and
alumni Of Harvard had given the
school 5,488,l for a 300th anniver-
sary fund, which is to be used to
establish more professorships and ma
tional scholarships.

Encourage
Appreciation
OF Rarities
College Youth Should
Consider True
Values.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

"DoUG is going away to college
next week and he wants my
picture to put in his room. Not just
a snap, but copy Of the official pho
tograph, the big one that stands on
fathers desk. can have a copy made
and pay for it out of my allowance,
but mother thinks it Is out of the
question. What is there improper
about giving a nice boy my picture
to hang in his room?"
Maybe your mother has seen some
of the rooms in boys colleges? Per-
haps this girl has not had that privi-
lege, probably not. If she had she
would have some glimmer of under
standing about the mothers attitude.
Some boys collect photographs as
others collect cigar bands. They
plaster the walls of their rooms with
signed photographs, the bigger the
better. Girls of all descriptions, in
all sorts of costumes, have bestowed
their pictures upon the gallant youths,
signing them, "Fondly, Mabel" LAS
ever, Morella," ITO Darling Dickie
from his Duckie." They are all there
to be seen and criticized by the bright
young men who gather in each others
rooms. A mother of lovely girl is
not exactly delighted to think of her
daughters picture in such a collec-
tion.
There is an old, old principle of
feminine behavior, one that the wisest
of charmers upheld with serpentlike
guiles Make yourself rare" Look
about you at the professional women
whose success depends upon their
popularity with the public and you
will find that the ones most sought
after, followed, applauded when
found, are those who make them
selves a bit unapproachable.
Nobody cares much about picking
field daisies. Children gather them
for the fun of it and soon drop them.
The daisy has made herself too COM
mon, too easy. Beautiful as she is
she does not command lasting interest
because she has become common
property of the countryside. Trailing
arbutus is searched for with untiring
energy. To find bunch of the Puri-
tan flower requires eager, sharp-eyed
search among the hills. The first
intimation of its presence is faint
perfume, cool, sweet, like nothing else
on earth; 1t comes stealing to your
delighted nose on a whif of snow
cooled air. Down on your knees you
go to search among the moss. There
under the lea of the rocks, almost
hidden among the brown leaves and
broken snow, the shy, Puritan flower
lies waiting. To discover it is
triumph.
Something of this rarity becomes
q girl who wants to be successful
and winning sweetheart. There is
time when a college boy is entitled
to a girls picture, and nobody need
supply map of that time. The boy
and the girl know every inch of the
road, for they have Travelled it to-
getter in affectionate understanding
and trust. Until that time comes,
save your picture. Make yourself rare
and you will be sought after by the
rare ones who appreciate beauty and
worth.
Girls of today scarcely know whether
to step forward or go back. AS I see
1t, it is better to go forward with
eyes wide open, stepping carefully, and
cultivate rarity in all your ways.
