Mercy Ship— (Continued from Page 1) bile operating theater. Upon ar rival in Greece they will be rushed to strategic points along the front lines. Chairman Davis stated that the Red Cross had taken action on the “Mercy Ship” after receiving de tailed cable reports from its Athens representative, Charles L. House. Working in cooperation with the United States Minister to Greece, House surveyed civilian and mil itary relief needs through the Greek Department of Public Welfare and the Army Medical corps. His ca bles to America described urgent needs for ambulances and medical supplies in the front lines and for food and clothing among children and women. Relief articles listed in the cables will he given priority on the Kassandra Louloudis. The Red Cross has placed rush orders for 25 additional ambulanc es which are scheduled for earliest possible delivery. Their arrival in Athens will make a total of 50 American Red Cross ambulances working among the Greek wounded. Some 25 ambulances are now en- route from a British Red Cross de pot in the Middle East. The Amer ican Red Cross arranged the trans fer and will replace the British units. The Kassandra Louloudis will be the second “Mercy Ship” of the second World War. The first was the S. S. McKeesport which docked at Marseille with a similar million- dollar relief cargo for distribution among the French. All other Amer ican relief supplies for uropean War victims have been shipped as partial cargo lots on European- bound vessels. The supplies to be carried by the Kassandra Louloudis will include the following foodstuffs and cloth ing: evaporated milk, powdered milk, rolled oats, cracked rice, de hydrated soups, citrus juices, sy rup, margarine, prunes, dried ap ples, flour, beans, cocoa, drugs, hospital and surgical supplies, hos pital trucks, refugee garments, blankets, underwear, woolen yarn, quinine, and children’s shoes.

Museum— (Continued from Page 1) brought to the museum and placed on exhibition in 1939. Remains of at least fifty individuals have been found within 100 miles of College Station, Most of the finds are limb bones, teeth, and frag ments. Good skulls such as this skull are not often discovered. Only one lower jaw and a few fragments of maxillary teeth of mastodon, elephant-like animals, have been found over a thirty year period. Horns of a four homed antelope have been found and are now on display. This interesting animal was first discovered in the sand and gavel pits near Dallas in 1921, Since its original discovery many records of its occurrence have been found. Flesh-eating animals are usually fairly common in most fossil de posits, but this is not true at the Pittsbridge locality. A lower jaw of a wolf and a part of the femur of a large lion-like cat are evidence of the only two membrs of this group that have been collected at Pittsbridge. Bones of fossil bison, horses, deer, camel, tapir and tur tles have been collected also from the locality. The group found may still be enlarged since the fall of the river each year brings new slope and new material for the collection. Three Members Of Ag Department Attend Conference Three members of the agron omy department attended the Land Use Conference held at Lubbock, December 16 and 17. Those at tending were L. C. Chapman, T. E. McAfee, and L. M. Thompson, all instructors in the department. All government agencies work ing with farm and soil management problems in the High Plains area were represented through the Ex tension Service, Soil Conservation Service, Agricultural Adjustment Administration, Farm Security Ad ministration, Experiment Station and the agronomy departments of Texas A. & M. and Texas Tech, The meeting was divided into three sections; Mr. Thompson at tended the meeting on soil and water conservation, Mr. Chapman attended the meeting on Range Im provement, and Mr. McAfee at tended the meeting on Cropping Systems. This was the fourth such meet ing in Texas, the first being held at College Station discussing prob lems of the East Texas timber re gion, second at Beeville in relation to the Rio Grande plain, and the third at College Station on the blackland prairie. Mr. E. A. Miller, extension agronomist, chairman of the meeting, indicated that anoth er conference discussing the prob lems of the rolling plains will be held in the near future.

The final examinations will al so be held during that week and as soon as a student is finished with both his exams and his reg istration he is free until classes begin the following Tuesday, Feb ruary 11. Reason for making up time lost during the holidays is because a first class college must have a cer tain number of days and classes to keep its first class eating. This time will be made up before the exam week by attending Saturday afternoon classes and the midterm holidays will be as before. Henke— (Continued from Page 3) and College Station. Many good players have been discovered in sand lot, intramural, and other games of this sort. It could be that some of those play ing next week might attract the attention of some of the coaches and writers attending. No better attraction could be scheduled for the furtherment of the newly developed Student Aid Fund and the British Relief Fund. Fellowship luncheon starts with the work, ‘Fellowship.’,” Donahue said, “It should be our aim to get acquainted with as many as pos sible at each meeting. Oftimes several members of the same de partment sit together during lun cheon and talk ‘shop* to the ex clusion of a neighbor from anoth er department.” It is proposed that when two members of the same department sit together that they be fined five cents each, to be collected by an appointed “Facul- ative Falcon.” -THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1941 B Engineers 5th Corps Headquarters D Field Artillery A Cavalry B Cavalry A Signal Corps F Infantry D Coast Artillery M Infantry A Field Artillery C Cavalry Let Us Fix Your Radio EXPERT RADIO REPAIR WORK STUDENT CO-OP North Gate Phone 4-4114 dyers matters AMERICAN-STEAM IAUNDRY •SEND IT TO THE LAJUNDHY DRY * - CJLEANERSt PHONE 5 8 Si BRYAH Patronize Your Agent in Your Organization ♦;«h THIS WEEK’S BEST SELLERS 26542 Adios, Marquita Linda—F.
