Every member of more than a dozen families of the hilly section around Bandera Is each equipped with six finders upon each j hand and six toes upon each foot. This remarkable freak of nature began to be manifested in the Bandera section more than fifty years ago, and it seems to have spread unI til it is no longer an uncommon thing with the people. The matter has been the subject of much discusjsion and investigation on the part of | anthropologists. In all cases the ; extra fingers and toes are of normal I ? '?? and Hpvplonment. , ======= I W. A. HARRIS FUNERAL SUPPLIES EMBALMING and Auto Hearse 8ervice PHONES j Day 395 Night 134 j AMERICANS IN GERMANY ARE SITTING ON WORLD Penalty That Exact* Good Behavior la Threat to Send .Soldier Home. S "You can't say anything too good about the A. E. F. in,Germany," said Lieutenant Cody, lately returned from the army of occupation to a New York Times reporter. "The men and officers almost without exception dread the Hav when 'tlipv will come back. The men particularly dislike the thought so much that they refuse to talk about it. There never has been an army which is 'sitting on the world' as those fellows are. "With many opportunties, they avoid getting into trouble because the penalty is being sent .home. An-j other reason is the spirit of sportsmanship which has been cultivated by General Allen. There are foot-j ball, baseball, polo, shooting and j track teams always trying to break | records. When I left three teams were, tied for first place, the Quar-! ftermaster Corps, the Headquarters Toop and Fifth Infantry teams. "They have gone in for horse racing ? good deal, and have built their ( own race track and- steeplechase course. As a result there has been a' general hunt for good'horses by officers, afnd they have bred and trained some of the finest animals the army I ever contained. It makes good horsemanship. .They also play polo a go;d deal: The rifle teams have resulted in more sharpshooters and niarksmm being produced than ever bef jre ia an army of that size. When ;hvy competed against the British, French and Belgians, they took first place in nearly every event. They beat us at machine gun fire. I knew one officer who felt so badly at his score that he wouldn't permit his name to be put down, and said he would wait till he got back with line troops so he could get necessary practice. He wouldn't lower his team's record. "Although the men are able to buy all the beer and wine they ^want there is hardly an instance of a man1 taking too much. Drinking wine and' beer has made them temperate. No ( whiskey or cognac is permitted in th?, area, and even at the .officers' club1 cocktails are barred. Champagne is less than $1 a bottle, and the men! can buy it if tljey want to, but they, seem to prefer the other wines." ! "There is one cafe in Coblenz which is patronized almost entirely ' hv Amorioare " ooiH Pon+oin ITano ! "J j "They won't sell beer, so they can keep out their fellow-Germans, and get oply the trade of Americans,' which is much more fortable.. Every! orte of them wears a uniform made of officer's cloth; There never was a > l better drssed army and the men are. proud of their appearance." 'l "When an officer travels he is constantly the object of solicitous attention," said Captain Kane.' "They bring you pillows and everything to make you comfortable. A conductor, never asks for your ticket and if an officer wanted to he could travel all j over Germany for nothing. I always! bought my ticket, but the conductor | never seemed to want it.
