Tbe story of the homhmuker Is un
Intc. 'sting one. In April. 1915, after
be bad spent thousands of dollurs in
experimental work, government ex
ports were convinced of the effective
ness of the bomb and ordered 50,090
supplied quickly. By working day and
night Mills wus able to deliver 8,000
the following month.
In 1021 Mills asked one English
penny for each of the 75,000,000 used
as a commercial royalty, hut tbe royul
commission on awards to inventors
granted him approximately $188,0U0.
Two years ago, In contesting a tax
action by the government, Mills said
be had been given orders for the man
ufacture of only 4,000,000 of the
bombs, from which he derived a net
profit of $390,485. On this amount he
paid an income tax of $80,205 and un
excess profits tax of $305,710, leaving
so excess of taxes ever profits of
$57,490 and In addition was paying a
supertax of $50,000.
The muster of rolls expressed his
sympathy with Mills’ predicament, but
said sympathy could not affect the
question of law and Mills wus ordered
to nay.
The change from bombs to bulbs
wus an easy one for the inventor, who
has maintained an Interest in flori-
culture for years. He Is a collector of
art and books, of which he has an
extensive knowledge.
To Divide Five Pups Is
Odd Issue Up to Jurist
San Francisco.—The judge who
hears the divorce suit of Mrs. May
Ellen Bruton will have to be a Solo-
mon. He’s going to be lfcdiged to di-
vide five pups between two persons.
The five small fox terriers were
named as community property by Mrs.
Bruton in her suit for divorce filed by
Attorne.v*S. M. Modr.v.
Mrs. Bruton charged Arthur J. Bru-
toD. a roofer, with cruelty. He falsely
accused her of associating with other
men, wtfs jealous, and failed to pro-
vide for her, she claimed. Also, he
made her nervous when they went au-
tomobile riding, by driving too fast
and cutting in, she says.
The Brutons were married October
6, 1928. in Heno, and separated Sep-
teml-er 18, 1930. The plaintiff asks a
divorce and half the community prop
erty. which consists of furniture and
automobiles—and the r,ve pups.
Publicity's Value Well
Known to the Ancients
More than 3,000 years ago, accord-
ing to the London Morning Post, tbe
Egyptians devised Innumerable meth-
ods of bringing their names before the
pabllc; sod by inscriptions, by historic
asonuments, and by the literature of
the period, they left to posterity tbe
records of a complete and systematic
scheme of advertising.
In certuln respects they made even
more extensive use of publicity than
does the present age. In the reign of
Tiyunkhainen, doctors, unlike the
modern practitioner, were allowed to
advertise their remedies; and one of
the more subtle methods used to at-
tain this end was to compel patients
on swallowing specific medicines to
cry out. “A really excellent remedy
proved a million times!’* The art of
repetition was thoroughly understood
by Egyptian publicists; and It was
customary to stamp wine Jars with
the word "Good” thrice repeated. Sim-
ilarly they were well aware of the
value of disguised advertisements;
and experts now declare that the tern
pies of ancient Egypt were In nearly
every case built to advertise the pow
er of Egypt’s rulers. They were cov
ered with accounts of victories
achieved, and records of cities con
quer.td.

TO THE RAILROAD COMMISSION
OF TEXAS,
Austin, Texas. * >
Resolutions adopted by a committee
of twenty-five Keel Texans repres-
enting lease land and royalty owners
and small producers of Gregg and
Rusk County, Texas, assembled in
committee in Longview, Texas, Feb-
ruary 5, 1931.
t,
RESOLVED, that this, tite com-
mittee representing lease, land and
royalty owners of Gregg, Rusk Coun-
ty, Texas, and East Texas territory
and the majority of the small oil pro-
ducers who discovered and have pion-
eered in the Rusk and Gregg County
fields, is of the opinion that the Rail-
road Commission of Texas should re-
frain from entering proration orders
of any character, effective in the
newly discovered Gregg and Rusk
County pool or pools until such time
as the area of said field is fully de-
fined and production therefrom is suf-
ficiently advanced to the stage where
a fair potential of the above fields
may be made.
RESOLVED, that it is the opinion
of this committee that neither the
area may be defined or a fair poten-
tial arrived at in the Gregg and Rusk
County fields prior to the general
proration hearing held before your
honorable body in Austin, April 1,
1931.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,
that this committee opposes any at-
tempt which may be made by the Cen-
tral Proration Committee of Texas or
any"-other agency or group to induce
your honorable body to order a spec-
ial hearing with relation to proration
in the Gregg and Rusk County oil
fields prior to April 1, 1931, for it is
the belief of this committee that such
action on your part would immediately
hamper oil development in this sec-
tion of Texas and work hardship up-
on our people who, as yet, have' re-
ceived no benefit from the newly dis-
covered wealth other than that deriv-
ed from trading in leases and royal-
ties.
RESOLVED, that this committee,
feels that proration at this time will
paralyze oil development in East
Texas and we call your attention to
the fact that every other'oil field in
Texas has enjoyed a reasonable period
