Forty Acres Grows,
With Our Building
By W. K. COLLVILLE
It is extremely gratifying to
learn that the University of Texas
continues to grow. Perhaps some
fine day, whei^ her alumni cough
up their pocket change and her
money mills in West Texas be
come solvent, she will burst rock
et-like into the pedantic elegance
of all her forty acres—and can af
ford a building of her own with
which to advertise.
Or maybe you didn’t see the
advertisement in last Sunday’s
Houston Post. A facimile of the
Post cut has been reproduced
above.
Shades of Swivel-eyed make-up
man! There' stands the stately
Academic Building, pushing its
dome through piles of cumulus ...
and with a University of Texas
banner a myopic mole could see
a furlong away slapped across the
front! From the Aco’s pillars to
Post, someone has blundered!

>d cabinet maker, Bel
cher has never made any money
from his hobby. He has refrain
ed from commercialising on it
in any wpy and the real joy he \
receives from it is in sharing
his hobby with others snd ex
hibiting it at benefit shows.
His is a good hobby, very inex
pensive, absorbing and satisfyinjg.
He has truly made an art of his
spare time,'although he has never
had a lesson in art.
“Nothing in the world” says
Belcher, “ran compare with mak
ing something beautiful from an
old ugly rrooked cowhorn and
having other people see it and
«Jor it.”
For his fascinating hobby, Bel
cher uses only a few simple tools
to to found in almost any home
toolbox. He uses a wood rasp, a
jack-knife, coping saw, drill, elect
ric buffer, steel wool, and jeweler’s
rouge, the latter being used to
give the artjide its final high gloss.
The only expensive item aniong
the tools is the electric buffer,
but Belcher declares that it is well
worth the money in time saved
apd results obtained.
6 of Belcher’s favorite
are! his flowers complete
leaves and
and
in his collection in
lamps, a galley slave
bears. Beads, necklaces, bracelets/
and ear screws are among some
of the jewelry Belcher creates
from horns.
iff .
Once, in Wisconsin, before mov
ing to Texas, Belcher had some
of his “horn” birds on a table in
the yard, preparing to take photo
graphs of them. To say that they
are realistic is an understatement,
as a cat jumped, onto the table
and tried to kilt the “bird.”
Belcher quite often has no
exact idea of what he is going
to make from a horn until it
begins to take shape in his
hands. As he says, “1 just start
cleaning and smoothing tho horn,
and then something about the
pattern or shape of the horn de
termines what It will become.
He is quite proud of his many
guestbooks full of names of some
of the thousands who have seen
his work.
Some of the remarks in his
books show how his work affects
people. “A cow would be mighty
proud if she could see her horns
now,” “the middle man between a
cow and a beauty,” and “art in its
reflection of inner man . . . beauti
ful,” are among some of them.
“Cette collection a fait 1'admira
tion d*une Francaise,” is inscribed
in one of Belcher's guest books by
a Frenchwoman, and “better than
they make in Venezuela,” by a
woman from that country.

spending a long time with* ob-
delicate craftmanship
