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!

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.
