AT LARGE, REQUIRING THE CITY
MARSHALL TO IMPOUND LIVESTOCK
OR POULTRY FOUND RUNNING AT
LARGE AND TO COLLECT A FEE
AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR REDEMP

LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY NOT RE
DEEMED, IMPOSING A FINE FOR AL
LOWING LIVESTOCK OR POULTRY
TO RUN AT LARGE, AND DEFINING
CERTAIN TERMS.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLLEGE
STATION, TEXAS:
SECTION 1. It shall be unlawful for
any livestock or poultry to run at large
and for the owner or keeper of any live
stock or poultry to allow the same to run
at large within the corporate limits of
the city.
SECTION 2. It shall be the duty of
the city marshall to impound any live
stock or poultry running at large.
SECTION 3 The owner or keeper of
any livestock or poultry impounded under
the terms of this ordinance may redeem
or reclaim same by the payment to the
city of a fee of two dollars for each
head of livestock and fifty cents for each
head of poultry, and in addition thereto by
reimbursing the city for the expense in
curred in connection with the impound
ment of such livestock or poultry.
SECTION 4. It shall be the duty of the
city marshall to advertise for sale any
livestock or poultry not redeemed or re
claimed by the owner or keeper within
five days after such livestock or poultry
has been impounded. Such notice of sale
shall be published once in the official
newspaper of the city and shall give a de
scription of the livestock or poultry to be
sold and announce the time for the sale.
Such date of sale shall be not less than
five days nor more than ten days from
the date of such publication.
SECTION 5. It shall be the duty of the
city marshall to sell to the highest cash
bidder any livestock or poultry advertised
for sale as provided in Section 4 hereof.
SECTION 6. Of the proceeds derived
from the sale of any livestock or poultry
under the terms of this ordinance, there
shall be paid into the general funds of
the city an amount necessary to cover the
fees and reimbursement as provided in
Section 3 hereof. The remainder shall be
held in a special “Livestock and Poultry
Fund,” to be paid to the owner or keeper
of the livestock or poultry sold, if same
makes claim within a period of three
made and would allow those pres
ent at the meeting to vote on the
final action to be taken.
His statement to The Battalion
I
was as follows:
“Under present conditions and
the likelihood of all R.O.T.C. stu
dents being called to active ser
vice immediately upon graduation
probably for the next several years,
I have thought it opportune and
important to advise students re
garding certain changes in uni
form.
“The young officer entering ser
vice is confronted with the expen
se of equipping himself with the
proper uniform, with the expense
of many social obligations and un-
forseen expenses that arise which
cause his paycheck to dwindle rap
idly. The next step is the loan
shark from whose clutches one
emerges with many scars. It is be
lieved that consideration of adopt
ing articles for the junior and sen
ior classes that will be proper for
army wear will help the con
ditions of the young officer.
“Army officers with the except
ion of those who are not actually
mounted on horseback do not wear
riding breeches, boots or spurs.
The overseas cap has taken the
place of the service cap; slacks
have taken the place of the breech
es; the woolen shirt should be of
a color worn by officers of the
army.
“I believe that a junior should
have service slacks of a light
shade without cuffs similar to
that worn by army officers; that
he should purchase a service hat
not of the flat crown type; that
boots breeches and spurs be re
quired only for mounted branches.
That with the saving thus made
he would be able to purchase anoth
er pair of cotton slacks and a rain
coat.”
The specific changes as con
templated are that in the future
juniors and seniors will wear “ice
cream” slacks without cuffs. This
means that boots and breeches
would be discontinued and that af
ter the present group of seniors
and juniors wear out the style
slacks they are now wearing only
“ice cream” and cotton slacks
without cuffs will be worn.
Overseas caps like those now
being worn by officers on duty
on the campus, with cords to des
ignate the various branches and
gold colored cords to designate
seniors will replace the service
caps now worn with the No. 1 un
iform.
Round-crown campaign hats will
be regulation in place of the many
flat-crowned hats now being worn.
Like the slacks, however, those flat
crowns now being used will be reg
ulation until they are worn out.
Lieut. Col. Watson said that if
these new regulations are adopt
ed he would be glad to enforce
any other regulations that would
distinguish the different classes
as the cuffs on senior and junior
slacks do now.
months. In event such claim is not estab
lished within said time, such remaining
proceeds shall then be forfeited to the
city and be paid into the general funds.
SECTION 7. Any person who wanton
ly and willfully allows any livestock or
poultry to run at large within the cor
porate limits of the city shall be fined
not to exceed ten dollars ($10) upon first
conviction and not to exceed twenty-five
($25) dollars upon each conviction there
after. Each day that the owner or keeper
of any livestock or poultry allows same to
run at large shall constitute a separate
offense.
SECTION 8. Without excluding any
other types or classes, the term “live
stock” as used in this ordinance shall
include horses, mules, Shetland ponies,
and burrows; cattle; sheep and goats;
and hogs: and the term “poultry" shall

Chemistry Makes Large Contributions
Toward Preventing Epidemic Spread
Hort Department
To Have Exhibit at
Dallas Flower Show
By Dr. Fred W. Jensen
Since the dawn of civilization,
disease has been the scourge of
mankind. The eradication and pre
vention of disease has been and no
doubt always will be a question of
absorbing interest. The early al
chemist working under tremendous
handicaps searched in his test tubes
for the elixir of life, and pointed
out as one of chemistry’s goals the
making o£ medicines to relieve pain
and suffering and to restore health.
For ages it has been the hope and
aim of chemistry and related sci
ences to find chemical substances
that would destroy infectious ag
ents and not do serious harm to the
human system. Contrary to com
mon belief, the discoveries that
shape the course of human civili
zation do not come about spon
taneously, nor are they accidental
findings. Instead they are, as a
rule, the result of much tireless,
ceaseless, and often disappointing
prospecting through the realm of
the unknown, that realm which
holds such a fascination for human
nature.
The fields of medicine into which
chemical research delves are as nu
merous as the ailments known jto
man. To discuss the progress of
chemistry in all these fields would
be an impossibility. Few discoveries
have been as widely publicized as
the recent work on sulfanilimide,
sulfapyridine and related com
pounds, which show remarkable
powers in combating certain ail
ments such as pneumonia, etc. Some
have been so bold as to predict
that the day will come when all
infectious diseases may be brought
under control through compounds
of the sulfanilamide type. There is
a certain fascination in tracing the
progress of the work on sulfanil
amide, particularly since that prog-
hess is entirely typical of the
methods of modern research.
As early as 1909 it was known
that a certain azo dye showed
some protective action against
mouse septicemia caused by the
hemolytic streptococci. In 1913 and
again in 1919 certain other azo
dyes were found to have bacteri
cidal properties to some degree.
Researches continued along this
line for a number of years. Finally
in 1935 a careful study and evalua
tion of results revealed that the
dyes which were effective possess
ed in common one structural unit,
which might be resolved in the ani
mal system into sulfanilamide. It
was only fair to presume that sul
fanilamide itself was the active
substance. Tests showed that this
presumption was correct. This was
the cornerstone in the foundation of
the fast developing sulfanilamide
therapy. The molecular architecture
of sulfanilamide and related com
pounds was subjected to the minut
est scrutiny with the hope of dis
covering the secret of its effective
ness. Hundreds of compounds built
on the basic formula unit, have
been synthesized. Of these hun
dreds only a few possess a high
degree of effectiveness. But these
few have amply repaid the cease
less efforts involved in their dis
covery. Dramatic recoveries have
ers, while Carden and Francis led
the cadet attack with two hits a-
piece.
Score by innings:
Boston 24001111 0—10
Aggies 00000005 0—5

den and Carden.

drews.
been recorded in cases of diseases
which previously had been almost
10 per cent fatal. But the secret
of its action is still shrouded in
mystery. It may never be possible
to free mankind from the destruct
ive power of infectious diseases,
but such possibility does not serve
to dampen the intense ardor of re
search workers.
The researches on vitamins are
no less fascinating than those on
sulfanilamide. As in the case of
sulfanilamide, the discovery of vi
tamins has not been a matter of
luck or accident but rather the
result of painstaking and intelligent
research. Popular discussions, which
are so enthusiastically read by the
general public, create the belief
that researches on vitamins are
new. But even Hippocrates, the
father of medicine, had philosophies
about foods. As early as a century
and a half ago studies on scurvy
indicated the presence of certain
essential yet elusive principles in
foods. So elusive were they that
it was not until after 1910 that
clear-cut demonstrationY)f the pres
ence of the first one could be made.
Even then its chemical nature was
unknown. Since that time hundreds
of research workers have pushed
back the obscurity surrounding the
vitamins. At present there are ten
vitamins which are generally recog
nized and eight of these have been
synthesized. Keeping pace with the
researches on vitamins is the fight
on dietary diseases, made possible
through our knowledge of vitamins.
Complete discussion of the role
of chemistry in medicine would
fill many books. Even enumeration
of the topics would take a great
deal of space. Let it suffice to say
that humanity owes much to the
workers who have given the world
such weapons as insulin to fight
diabetes, non-toxic anaesthetics to
alleviate suffering, powerful anti
septics to destroy germs, together
with many, many others.
Clubs Asked to
Have Pictures Taken
R.V.’s are especially urged to
made this week for the Long
horn. Members of the Scholarship
have their individual pictures
Honor Society and “T” Club must
also have their pictures made this
week.
The horticulture department will
have an educational exhibit on
propagation at the Gardens of
America flower show to be held
at Dallas from March 29 to April
16.
The exhibit on propagation will
be placed with other educational
exhibits at the show. The propaga
tion exhibit will consist of actual
nursery stock, showing methods of
budding and grafting at the time
the buds and grafts are put in.
Then there will be other stages of
growth, showing the grafts as they
have grown for one or two years.
Along with this, there will be an
explanatory legend.
The Gardens of America is a
flower show celebrating Dallas’ one
hundredth anniversary. There is
expected to be an attendance of
100,000 persons. One day or sev
eral days will be dedicated to uni
versity and college attendance. The
horticulture department is plan
ning to take students on an in
spection trip to the flower show
on Saturday, March 29.
