Restoration Of Historic
Texas Village Authorized

President Roosevelt has approved
a $53,174 National Youth Admins
tration project to restore historic
La Villita village in San Antonio,
Tex. it was announced today by
Administrator Aubrey Williams Of
the N. Y. A.
The village is the site of many
important events in early Texas
history and when restored will be
representative of the period before
Texas became an independent re-
public. Restored buildings will
house arts and crafts, workshops,
museum and archives and a center
for cultural activities.
Architecture will follow the orig
inal style of the buildings. Handi-
craft will consist chiefly of work
similar to that done several CEN
turies ago. Cultural activities will
include many native folk celebrar
tions.
The project will be financed from
the regular work program allotment
to the National Youth Administra-
ton of Texas. The Federal Govern
ment will furnish $48.07O and the
city of San Antonio, in addition to
having gone to considerable expense
to acquire the property. will con-
tribute $5,095. Part-time employ
ment will be provided for 300 needy
youth of the city who are without
jobs. but who need work experience
to aid them in securing jobs in pri-
vate industry.
Plans call for restoration of a
group Of seven adobe and caliche
houses at Villita and South Presa
streets In San Antonio by N. Y. A.
youth. The houses were part of the
group which sheltered Ben Milam's
volunteers during the first siege of
San Antonio de Bexar in 1885, and
are adjacent to the spot where the
Mexican general, Martin Perfect de
Cos, surrendered to the Texans.

Natures Children
Red Seaweed
(Dasya elegans)
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

The summertime offers many op-
portunities to study seaweeds. In
this group, known as Florideae and
Rhodospermeae, algae reach highest
development, affording the most in
teresting pastime imaginable. The
study Of Seaweeds as q hobby will
take you into fairyland.
A strange mode of reproduction
has been established, and it most
closely resembles the one followed
by Towering plants. The fronds of
the red seaweeds are not so snowy
or large as to be found among the
brown algae.
There are many species of this
subclass, and they are identified by
their delicate fronds, texture and
color, which varies from the most
exquisite pink to deep purple. Most
Of these seaweeds are found in deep
water, and often they are washed
ashore. Some grow below the low
water mark, others on the side of
tide pools where the sun rarely
penetrates.
In Dasya, the one illustrated here,
you will flnd an abundant variety,
and it is very beautiful because of
its plumey appearance. The color
adds much to its charm.
Many who are acquainted with
the genus Dasya call this plant the
chenille weed. 1t Is found just be-
low the low-water mark from Cape
Cod southwark and Is very numer-
GUS in New York Bay. There is also
Evening star., 1939-10-02

a species on the California coast,
the only difference being that the
tiny leaflets composing the fringe
are not quite so fine. as those which
cover the ones illustrated here.
The fronds are from 6 inches to
3 yards in length. The stem and
branches are cylindrical. Both are
clothed with a dense growth of fine
hairlike leaflets, and as it floats on
the water, moving gently back and
forth with its motion, it does give
you the impression of fringe or
chenille. The cystocarps which are
on the stalks and branches are lake
red or pink, which is the reason
for the name. If the frond is re-
moved from the water it appears
more like a mass of purple jelly and
most unstable.
The fronds consist of branched
cell rows, and in studying them a
pocket lens will reveal the fine fila
ments and enable you also to revel
In the beauty Of the plant.
