To illustrate, let Henry Spangler, 92, tell the story of the Battle of Palmeta Ranch.

He is the last survivor of the Battle of Palmeta Ranch. The battle was fought May 13, 18G5, on the Rio Grande, below Brownsville, 34 days after the end of the Civil War. Two battalions of Confederates, comprisin" 200 men, routed a Union Army of 1,000 ne- groes and 500 whites, dropping many on the field of battle and taking 100 prisoners, only to discover three days later that circumstances elsewhere had decreed the episode unnecessary. General Robert E. Lee, Confederate commander, surrendered at Appomattox, April 9, 1865.

But the news did not reach Brownsville until May 1C. Spangler joined the army in Austin when he was 17, and was sent to Rio Grande City in June, 18C4. Union soldiers were patrolling the Rio Grande at'that time to halt importation of provisions through Mexico, to insure effectiveness of their naval blockade along the Gulf Coast. But they left Rio Grande City and had made their way to Brownsville, feeling the growing Confederate force being drafted from among the old men and the young boys might soon prove too large for their numbers. Unions left Brownsville The Unions occupied Brownsville for several months, then left and took their position at the base on Brazos Santiago under guard of heavy gunboats.

That was what the Confederates were hoping for. With Brownsville in their control they were now able to receive provisions and munitions shipped through Mexico and to send the goods throughout the Confederacy. Spangler was among 500 men who were placed on guard at Brownsville to keep the entry open. A battalion under Major Giddings was placed on picket duty several miles below at Palmeta Ranch. On May 13, early in the morning, the men on picket duty found themselves under attack by a large Un- Ii 0n -t orce pf ne roes and whites detailed from the base to recapture Brownsville.

Sending for re-en- forcements, they dropped back to the edge of a thicket watching as the invaders set fire to the ranch houses. The negroes took their position behind a ridge while the whites came forward to open battle. Favored by an advantageous position, the Giddings battalion held off the Unions until about noon when it was joined by 100 men under Col. Rip Ford. Spangler was among the group.

Setting up a six-gun battery, the Confederates sent a ball of cannon YOU'RE THE As a Texas institution in the service of the Texas motorist, the Humble Company makes no special pleading in the way of exaggerated advertising claims for your patronage.

"So surprised were they to know we had artillery, they forgot all about the guns they were carrying.

They gave us no trouble at all." "The white Union soldiers skirmished a bit as they fell back to the river. We had the reputation of being cut-throats, and as the enemy soldiers really were bent on escaping, we had little or no trouble in picking, up the prisoners. I myself captured six at one time as they were hiding under the bank of the river. Three others I took from the bushes merely by shouting for them to come out. Another I picked up was shaking so he couldn't hold his rifle." Not a single soldier in the Confederate force was killed, Spangler said.

Only one was injured. Most of the Unions fled to the river, where they stripped and swam across to the other side. "The prisoners were taken to Brownsville," Spangler said, "but we kept them there only three days. We turned them over to their commander at Brazor Santiago. A courier from the East told us the war was over.

Waitress, 1937 Style, Can't be Left Handed Detroit School Says for a job as a waitress is getting to be almost as hard as making the front line of Broadway chorus. Anne V. Whitson, director of an educational forum here pointed out that the 1937 waitress is definitely superior to her predecessor of a decade ago. Miss Whitson is directing a school for waitresses, the only such school in Detroit. It was inaugurated with the approval of the Michigan Restaurant, and was opened to meet the demand for well-trained waitresses in exclusive restaurants.

The model waitress today doesn't weigh over 150 pounds, Miss Whitson said. She should not be shorter than five feet and two inches, and she should not be taller than five Grapes, Beginning to Come in, Are Usable In Conserve Recipes The tangy flavor of Concord grapes can be used in many delicious conserves, jellies, jams and marmalades. Now that they are coming into the local markets the housewife should start preserving some of them and making them into delightful treats. In the following recipe suggestions are given for a delicious conserve: Grape Conserve Four pounds Concord grapes, two pounds sugar, one cup seedless raisins, one orange seeded and chopped, one cup finely-cut nuts. Wash and drain the grapes.

Stew, remove skins and reserve. Cook the pulp for ten minutes or until the seeds show through. Press through a sieve to remove feet and seven inches. She can not be left-handed, and she should not have bad eyes. Like the chorus girl, the waitress today must be attractive.

She must be able to wear the restaurant smartly designed uniforms as well as the chorine wears her stage finery. Miss Whitson says a tenth grade education is necessary, but many waitresses are college graduates. Restaurants object to girls wearing glasses, she said. If they do allow it, they generally recommend rimless spectacles. Many firms today require certain types of girls, Miss Whitson explained.

A new Detroit store employs only red-heads. Girls with elaborate coiffures have no place in a restaurant, the director said. Their hair should be good condition, and not spectacularly dressed. They must be scrupulously neat. Excessive makeup is taboo.

Glaring fingernails are not desirable. -fr Old Adolphe Sax invented the saxophone, and died unrepresented 1894 at the age of 80. The title of public enemy number one changes hands much oftener than the heavyweight championship: seeds. To the pulp add raisins (which have been fine) and orange. Cook until begins to tni and stir frequently to prevent sticking.

Add the grape sklttli which have been cut in pieces, and cook for five minutes longer, until thick. Stir in chopped nuti, and pour at once into hot jelljr glasses. Cover With hot parafin. Below are two additional recipes for putting up grapes. One Is for grape juice, and one grape marmalade.

These are reprinted froffl "Grandma's Pantry Shelf Some of Her Preserving Secrets," a book of tested preserving recipes. Grape Juice Five pounds grapes, two cups water, Imperial pure cane sugar. Pick over grapes, crush lightly, add water, and slowly bring to boil. Reduce flame and allow to simmer until seeds are free. Strain through pelly bag.

Add one-half cup pure sugar to every quart of juice. Bring to a boil, pour into serilized bottles and seal immediately. Grape Marmalade Two pounds grapes, one half cup water, one pound pure cane sugar. Select ripe grapes; wash, crush and separate skins from pulp. Place skins in separate pan, add water and cook until skins are tender; chop or cut into thin strips.

Simmer the grape pulp until seeds can easily be removed; press through sieve, add pure cane sugar and cook until thick. Stir constantly to prevent scorching. Add softened skins and cook mixture to 222 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour into sterilized jars and seal with parafin.
