FORT TO CLOSE
Laredo, Tex. U.fO Historic
Fort Mcintosh, an army post for
nearly 100 years, is going to be
closed.
An old frontier fort, built near
this Mexican border city just
after the Mexican War In 1849,
It was occupied first by a com
pany of Texas Mounted Volun
teers, commanded by Capt. Mira
beau B. Lamar, second president
of the Republic of Texas, which
had become a state four years
earlier.
The oost originally was named
Camp Crawford, but was renam
ed In honor of Lt. Col. James S.
Mcintosh, who, died of wounds
luffered at the battle of Molino
del Rey.
When the Civil War started.
Federal troops left the fort and
it was taken over by the state
for the Southern Confederacy.
Texas men wearing the gray of
the south successfully defended
Fort Mcintosh against Union
troops.
After the war, U. S. cavalry
again took over the fort and it
has been garrisoned continuous
ly since 1865, although authoriz
ed strength at "the post was only
10 officers and 54 enlisted men
at the time of the order to end
Its service.
Fort Mcintosh was the only
army post in Texas during World
War II w'thout a prisoner-of-war
stockade.
From 1930 through 1944,
8,891 Jacks and 1.818 Jennets
were registered with the stand

As Substitute For
Morphine In War
Manila (U.R) Next time
you need relief from pain, don't
ask for morphine, because it's
habit-forming. Ask for cobra
venom.
That is the recommendation
of T3 George Turney, Highland
Park, Mich., who held the uni
que job of cobra tender at the
University of the Philippines.
Turney, who recently passed
through the 21st Replacement
Depot en route home and a dis
charge, said another advantage
of cobra venom as anesthetic is
that the effect lasts several days.
The guerrilla forces used the
cobra venom as substitute for
morphine during the war. The
venom has since been used ex
perimentally at the state univer
sity. During his tenure as custodian
of the reptiles. Turney collected
an estimated $37,000 worth of
venom.
