sionary! But it's not to be denied
that most outsiders feel a peculiar
interest in that extreme land of
extremes"
A few books could not possibly
cover the vast subject of fabulous
Texas, but here are some sugges-
tions: For tales of old Texas-tall
and otherwise-read Flavor of
Texas" and IA Vaquero Of the Brush
Country" by j. Frank Dobie, a
Texan among Texans; Eugene
Barker's Life Of Stephen r. AUS
tin," Marquis James The Raven" /"
story of Sam Houston, and "The
Romantic Story of Texas" by Peter
Molyneaux. For the more con-
temporary scene read Texas, a
World in ITSELF" by George Sessions
Perry, and "Texas, Guide to the
Lone Star State" by the writer's
program.
When you've read these, you'll
swallow more than half Of what
Texans tell you!

Suddenly Susie grew alarmed at
the horrible thought that he might
be changed and would not like their
old fun. But it didn't seem pos
sible that Red, fun-loving Red,
could be different. His qualities
were eternal, and he could not have
been made into something that he
wasn't. even by three years of a
job, ghastly though it had been.
Susie's thoughts were interrupted
as an olive-drab car came to a
stop at the curb in front of her
houses She ran to the door in time
to see Red dash up the steps In
his old familiar way.
AS Susie Rugged him tightly she
whispered softly in his ear:
"Oh, Red! I'm so proud Of you!
You're so brave and smart lust
know you were the best Wag in
the whole K-9 Corps!"

Yardley Hall and its creator.
Ralph Henry Barbour, would get a
kick out Of the Eastern High School
football team and its army Of SUBJ
stitutes.
Maybe you've never heard OF either
Yardley Hall or Mr.. Barbour. Well,
as your dad probably can tell you,
Yardley once was the scene OF some
OF the most exciting football games
ever played. and Mr.. Barbour wrote
the books In which they were de-
scribed.
When dad was about your age
no boys library was complete with
out the latest Yardley story. Other
popular boys fiction included the
Rover Boys series, the Grammar
School Boys series and the Frank
Merriwell series. The books of
Horatio Alger, jr, were losing their
popularity, and those OF Edgar Rice
Burroughs-the Tarzan series-were
just beginning to win theirs. In
recent years Mr.. Barbour has taken
to writing stories of adventure and
mystery. but in my memory-and,
I'll bet, In dads, too-his Yardley
series Is still just about tops.
Il 4
Yardley Hall was prep school
for boys. Though its teams were
always Of the highest caliber, they
invariably had trouble defeating
their principal rival in the final
game of the season. That, OF course,
was where the hero came in.
He was always an honest, hkable
chap who, for one reason or an
other, couldn't quite make the first
team. He spent most of the season
on the sidelines, substitute whose
only chance to show what he could
really do never came until one of
the regular players was hurt.
The reason Eastern reminds me
of Yardley is that its football team
has enough subs to keep Mr.. Bar
bour busy writing for good, long
time. 1t has 40 of them, in fact, and
on the basis of two books a year
which is about the most that can
be expected of any but the most
prolific authors-they'd keep Mr..
Barbour pecking away at his type
writer for 20 years.
I'm not familiar with the playing
abilities of all of Coach Dick Mentz-
er's subs, but if Sal De Giorgi's tall
ents are a fair sample they're made
to order for Mr.. Barbour.
This Is Sails first try for East
erns varsity, though he's been
playing we'll for Southeast Boys
Club teams for several years. Any
where else around Washington but
at Eastern he'd probably be a reg
ular, but with the Ramblers the
competition for a place on the first
team is terrific. Coach Mentzer's
squad includes enough grade A
material to mobilize at least two
teams OF top quality. At nearly any
other school Eastern's second team
probably could be the varsity.
In the Ramblers' 1876 victory over
Roosevelt, "Wang-Dang," as Sails
friends at the Boys Club call him
tossed a 40-yard pass that made it
possible for Sonny Settle to score
And in. Eastern's $40 defeat OF
Woodrow Wilson he had chance
to shine even more brightly. As
Star Sports Writer Bob MCLEAN
reported. the substitute stole the
show by galloping to two touch
downs"
At Yardley that would end the
story. But at Eastern there's sc
much football talent that Sal Is
rated by the school newspaper, the
Fastener, only as "a promising
young rookie" who is "a definite
threat to the halfback position"

semester pupils, in a search for the
tubercular germ.
Every year X-rays are offered tc
all seniors and parents who are in
terested. Believe it or not, it is
the pupils of Eastern who have CO.
operated 100 per cent, and 1t is the
parents who have passed up the op-
portunity, Each student who par
ticipates in this health precaution is
learning how to protect himself
against tuberculosis.
A far cry from the olden days
when mother went to school. II she
had the dreaded TB germ and
showed no obvious symptoms, there
would be no way of stopping the
disease in its early stages of de-
velopment,
Unfortunately, only Is per cent Of
the population, according to the
Gallup poll. realize that tuberculosis
is not hereditary. Therefore, Susie
Eastern just knows she has it, be-
cause Aunt Minnie developed a ter
rlble case, and Susie is afraid tn
flnd out if she has contracted it
And Mrs. Jones lives in constant
fear that her children have or will
have the germ because she had 1t
at one time. If only Mrs. Jones
ana Susie had taken a little time
to flnd out something about the
disease, all unnecessary worries
would be eliminated.
Quite contrary to being heredi-
tary, tuberculosis can be spread onlv
by close contact. 1t is seldom trans
1erred from child to child, but from
adult to child. From the ages
OF to 20 few deaths are caused by
TB. But before years and from
rs to 40 this disease is active as q
fatal agent.
When Koch discovered the elusive
microbe of tuberculosis in the lat
ter part of the last century, he
probably never imagined that he
would live to see the development
OF the fight to find its cure. And
yet this fight has gone on and on
until now every individual is of.
tered a chance to find out if he
mas the germ, to understand it, tc
try to check it and cure it. And
1t is the high school pupil, in CO.
operation with the District Tuber-
culosls Association, who has taken
advantage of this privilege and
proved that he is aware of the
danger of tuberculosis and of the
Importance of a healthy body.

The Navy at Var
The war in the Philippines as doc
umented by 1t. Edward Millman,
U. S. N. r., comprises this months
exhibition at the Central Public Lii
brary, through October 81. More
than 30 pen and wash drawings and
water colors tell a story of desolated
villages, damaged houses, charred
ruins, destitute natives and drifting
hulks of ships, along with actual
battle engagements and glimpses Of
American fighting men in various
situations.
Most of the smaller paintings are
monochroneS in sepia or smoke
gray or some other single color. The
larger works are done in the natural
colors of the scenes depicted, which
are somber. All the paintings are
competently executed, as one would
expect of an artist with 1t. Mill
mans talent and experience.
He was born in Chicago in 1907;
studied at the Art Institute there
under Leon Kroll and John Norton.
He was chief illustrator on the art
staff of the Chicago Evening Amer
ican for four years, art director OF
the Chicagoan magazine In 1888,
during which year he also painted
series of murals for Chicago's Cen
tury of Progress Exposition.
iMexican Studies
Subsequently his interest in the
work of Diego Rivera took him to
Mexico to study fresco painting. On
his return in 1885 he was appointed
first State director Of mural projects
for the Federal art program, He
personally executed mural COM
missions in post Offices in Moline
and Decatur, H.; also in st. Louis,
Mo. The last mentioned was the
largest commission awarded by the
United States Government and was
given as joint project to Mr.. Mill
man and Mitchell Siporin.
Mr.. Millman also painted frescoes
in Chicago's City Hall and school.
He exhibited regularly in Chicago
and elsewhere, including here at the
Corocran Gallery of Art.
He was commissioned as a lieu
tenant q. g. in the United States
Naval Reserve in January, 1943;
served in several capacities in this
country. In May, 1914, he became a
full lieutenant, and shortly after
ward was assigned to the United
States Atlantic Fleet as training
aids officer The following Septem-
Der he was made combat artist
and sent to the Pacific where he
covered Philippine invasions and a
landing in Dutch New Guinea. En-
route, he sketched at the various
naval bases in the Central and
South Pacific areas
On D day November Is, 1914, he

Horses in LANDSCAPE
1t. J. Jay McVicker, U. S. N. r.,

Division of Graphic Arts, Smithso-
nian Building, through October 28
His aquatints and drawings do not
deal with his experiences in the
service, save in single instance
crayon drawing of soldiers, "On
the March
His favorite theme, to judge from
Its many variations, involves horses
in landscape with dead trees con-
tributing TO the design. Nearly half
the works on view ring changes on
this combination. Cheyenne Coun-
ty' is an oval pattern Of these ele-
ments. OF two versions of Drift
wood" the drawing is a naturalistic
treatment, while the aquatint is styl-
lied. In other prints and drawings
horses are variously disposed In the
foreground. in the distance, or In
snow, or autumn or summer settings.
1t would be interesting to know how
the artist happened to develop his
tireless absorption in this particular
subject.
Occasionally he combines dead Cor

stead of horses, as In his aquatint
Moonlight and Mystery" OF sew
eral landscapes on view, the most
pleasing is "Wintry Vigil" He also
shows several industrial scenes, with
effective illumination.
Aquatints compose two-thirds of
the exhibition. They are compe-
tently done in a clean-cut technique,
with stylistic simplification in most
instances. The drawings, in crayon,
pencil or ink and wash, are natural
istic in character.
