TEXAS U. HAS FORTUNE. MUST BEGFORFUNDS School Keeps Over Eleven Millions in Bank It Can’t Use. Bv United Prext AUSTIN, Tex.. Nov. 29.—A millionaire in rags would be the human counterpart of the University of Texas, now reputed to be the richest state university in the union, and yet quartering and teaching its 8.000 students In wooden shacks. Beset by legal restraints that affect the use of its new-found wealth, the university still must skimp and save on instructors’ salaries and beg the legislature every two years for more money, while it has more than $11,500,000 of its own in the bank it can not use. When the University of Texas was founded, the legislature endowed it with 2.000,000 acres of land that at the time seemed almost valueless. Three years ago a geologist declared that he "smelled” oil on the university land.

Find Oil on Campus The first test was successful. Leasing contracts with big drilling companies were made, and dozens of wells were brought in, one after another. The university suddenly found itself engaged In the oil business and the board of regents created a university oil leasing board. Lease contracts have been made with dozens of companies, and now wells dot the university lands in three counties in the Big Ben country of West Texas, once only usable as grazing land, and poor grazing land at that. $150,000 Monthly Not only does the oil royalty fund now amount to more than $11,500,000, but it is increasing at the rate of $150,000 per month, with new drilling contracts being made all of the time. The university has eight permanent buildings, but si large per cent of the classes are taught in temporary frame buildings built nearly fifteen years ago for the lack of funds for better structures. Could the board of regents but use the oil money, it could erect more buildings than would be needed. But the land grant provided that only the income from the land could be used by the institution for any purpose, and the regents’ hands arc tied.

FRANCE TAKES 0000 CARE OF GOLD TREASURE

Water Flows Beneath and Above Strong Box of Paris Bank. BY MINOTT SAUNDERS NEA Service Writer PARIS. Nov. 29.—Underneath a vacant lot. strexvn with rubbish, off the rue Croix aes Petis Champs here, lies the world’s greatest gold mine. It is fool-proof, burglarproof, bomb-proof, with water flowing above and beneath it. A formidable fortress, it is the new strong box of the bank of France. Construction of this vault required three years, with night and day shifts of 1.200 men.* Access to it is gained through the bank of France, only a few blocks from the Avenue and l’Opera. At the th : vd sub-basement there is a wall of . reinforced concrete twenty-five feet thick. A secret combination opens a steel door weighing eight tons, revealing a passageway four feet wide and eight feet high. This is blocked by a steel buffer of the same thickness as the wall, and to move this buffer inward on tracks requires the force of an electric locomotive. Only trusted guards familiar with the mechanism can operate this machinery. Arranged in Compartments Inside the fortress there are various sections, separated by huge steel doors. On either side of long corridors are compartments in which the gold treasure is stored. Each compartment is capable of holding 5,000,000 francs in 100-franc gold pieces, but at present most of the compartments contain an equal value in gold ingots, chiefly American and English. The concrete-walled cave is a labyrinth covering two and a half acres and is 150 feet deep. Sixty feet from the surface there is a layer of concrete nineteen feet thick, chambers of the vault could be flooded and in that way save the treasure. Bomb Proof Officials of the Bank of France will not discuss the reasons for such an elaborate structure foxdepositing its gold, but it is certain that the vault is proof against heavy gun fire and any bombs that AMUSEMENTS

might be dropped in an aerial raid. Workers down could hold their fort for weeks, even months, and remain perfectly healthy because of a secret ventilating system. Even if rioters could find the gateway to the cavern, they would have little chance in blasting even the outer wall and no possible chance of solving the combinations of the doors. The French gold reserve value row amounts to nearly two billion dollars, which is an increase of approximately 25 per cent since the beginning of the year. American and English ingots may be seen in piles in the compartments along the corridors. It is a gold mine that even the most fantasticminded adventurers scarely could imagine. It is common knowledge that the Bank of France is stronger now than at any time since the outbreak of war and its gold fortress bears material evidence of its strength.

SCIENTISTS TO ! SALVAGE RELICS OF EARLY MAN; Expedition Seeks Facts of Extinct Animals in Arizona. ft :* Tft ted Tret* PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.—Remains of early men and extinct animals, recently discovered in the northeastern part pf Arizona, will be salvaged by an expedition sponsored jointly by the University of Pennsylvania’s museum and the American Museum of Natural History, according to an announcement by the University of Pennsylvania authorities here. Arrangements for the project have been completed by Dr. J. Alden Mason, curator of the American section of the museum here, and Dr. Barnum Brown, curator of fossil reptiles at the Natural History museum. Dr. Mason has been carrying on important archaeological investigations in the southwest since early last summer. He will be joined by Dr. Brown shortly and they will work together 8t a location about 100 miles north of Flagstaff, Ariz., where numerous footprints of dinosaurs have been uncovered and where there is a series of unexplored coves believed to contain relics of the earliest inhabitants to this continent. Large sections of sandstone,, in which the giant footsteps of the dinosaurs are impressed, will be removed and taken to New York, where they will be publicly displayed in the natural histoi-y museum. The cave dwellings, which Dr. Mason will explore, are extremely difficult to enter. They are situated in the face of a cliff and are not accessible from below. It will be necessary to lower the explorer and his assistants by blocks and tackle from the summit.
