THE PETROLEUM ENGINEERING BUILDING The cry for consolidation has been one that is observed by every business in the world today. The construction of the new building that is known as the Petroleum Engineering Building has met this cry because in its walls have been combined three industries that are very closely related. These three industries are Petroleum En¬ gineering, Geology, and Engineering Experiments, each a distinctive service within itself hut nevertheless so closely connected that their consolidation into one large centralized organization has brought a better understanding of their reliance on one another. This building is famous for the tower that rises above the center. This tower is decorated with inlaid tile and the designs are carried out in blue and white colors. The interior of the building is beautifully decorated with rocks and shells that have been collected in all parts of the State. This unique method of beautifying the building gives it an air of prestige that should gain for it an impression in the minds of all the people who see it that will be hard to forget.

Track Mileage The vast area of Texas teas first opened to industrialization by the railroads. Today hundreds of trains whiz back and forth each day, carry¬ ing thousands of passengers and hun¬ dreds of thousands of dollars worth of produce and merchandise. All year long trains rush across Texas at express speed, carrying fresh vegetables and fruits from the Lower Rio Grande to the Northern and East¬ ern States. Some of the fastest and best equipped passenger trains in the Union are to be found traversing Texas. Texans should be quite proud of the service rendered them by the rail¬ roads in the State.
