Captain Watkins has been con

for 30 years, retiring September
1, 1937. He came here in 1907, and
was for many years a familiar
sight around the campus until he
became ill. He was born in Mar
shall, Texas,
He was 83 years old when he
died and his daughter was 38.

Service, and the National Cotton
Council were the factors helping
cotton on the road to recovery. Al
though cotton is at a low ebb at
present, conditions point to an
early rise. That cotton producers
must lower cost of production by
more economic methods of har
vesting and must increase the
yield per acre by the use of fer
tilizer and insectisides was said
by Killough to be the two main
factors necessary before better
prices could be secured.
Earl Parson, graduate ’20, was
among those who attended the
meeting. Parsons is a well-known
buyer for the firm Of Clayton &
Co. of Houston.

administration building is a gift
from the class of ’39 and the flag

to construct a platform for yell

When Marvin Jones was appoint
ed as a Federal Judge, Worley im
mediately announced his candidacy
for the seat in Congress which
Jones vacated. He is the same
age as was Jones when he was
first elected to Congress. Worley
had six opponents in the race for
Congress.
So, Worley goes from a seat in
a Model-T Ford to a seat in Con

course offered here.
“This approval covers the course
of study for those students who
make chemistry their major study
for degrees and states that in the
judgment of the ACS, Texas A. &
M. College possesses the facilities
and offers instructions for students
to become specialized for the pro
fessional training chemists require
in the field of research in industry
and government,” Dean Brooks ex
plained.
The University of Texas and Rice
Institute are the only other colleges
in Texas which have received this
approval.

Concert—

the observer will see that for him,
music is something artistic, not
a hob-nob something but for his
life, and so we find him using only
the slightest, simplest gestures;
the graceful, circular movements
of his hands and flexible though
magic fingers of his hand, Kryl
moulds and forms his music such
as a fine sculptor would do, model
ling each phrase, each passage,
and seemingly at times, each indi
vidual note not a cold
harsh, mechanical time beater, but
a living part of the music him
self.
Katherine Landry, soprano, will
appear on this program in oper
atic arias and in songs which will
appeal to the music public. May
Hopkins, young beautiful American
harpist, will also appear as solo
ist. Pravoslach Krch, Czech viol
inist of note, will accompany the
symphony as soloist.

25,000 Specimens Give A & M Largest Search for Spurs
Wildlife Collection in the Southwest Shows No Scarcity
Texas A. & M. College has on
its campus the largest collection of
birds, mammals, reptiles, amphib
ians, and fish in the southwest.
These specimens, used in teaching
and research, are housed partly in
the Animal Husbandry Pavilion and
partly on the top floor of the Agri-
cutural Engineering Building.
The collection consists of more
than 1,500 specimens of mammals,
2500 birds, 500 reptiles and am
phibians, and 20,000 fish. Most of
these specimens were collected in
Texas by personnel in the Fish and
Game Department and the Texas
Cooperative Wildlife Research unit
at Texas A. & M. College and by
staff members of the Texas Game
Fish, and Oyster Commission. A
few specimens have been secured
from such places as Mexico, Asia,
and Africa. This collection has a
value of several thousand dollars
and constitutes one of the most
important bases for wildlife work
in Texas. “It is useful not only in
teaching and research, but it is an
added service to the people of Tex
as who are becoming more and
more conservation conscious.” Dr.
W. B. Davis of the Fish & Game
Department pointed out, “as we are
now in a position to identify this
or that bird, mammal, or fish for
them.”
The collection, now four years old,
is sponsored jointly by the depart
ment of Fish and -Game, School
of Agriculture, and the Texas Co
operative Wildlife Research Unit
with Dr. Davis in charge of the
division of birds, mammals, am
phibians, and reptiles, and Dr.
Kelshaw Bonham in charge of
the fishes.

STUDENT CO-OP
1 Block East of North
Gate
Although a certain English pro
fessor calls the old cowboy spurs
“horse riding instruments,” spurs
at A. & M. are not nearly so scarce
as this would indicate.
In a search for spurs to use
for demonstration in a public
speaking class, an A. & M. student
found more spurs than he could
carry. In just four rooms from
four different boys he found sev-
ejn pairs of well-worn cowboy
en pairs of well-worn cowboy
spurs and several pairs of military
spurs. But even this was not the
total. On his way back to his room
four other boys offered their spurs.
There were calf roping spurs, bronc
riding spurs, bull riding spurs,
spurs for short men, spurs for
tall men, in fact, spurs of near
ly every description.
One pair had an interesting his-

tory. They were made by an east
ern blacksmith for a short man;
and because the blacksmith thought
the man would need a long-shank
ed spur to reach his horse, the
spurs had a very long shank. The
funny thing was that anyone fam
iliar with riding knows that tall
long-legged men wear long-shanked
spurs and short-legged men wear
short shanked spurs.
