book wears its every-day clothes.
It is the story of one woman’s
struggle with poverty down in Texas
and in oil fields of several other
western states: of a woman proud
enough und strong enough to stand
on her own feet and earn her way,
cooking, waiting on tables in a res-
taurant, running a boarding house or
drilling an oil well.
It is w hat is called a “Success”
story, but it is different. As a story
it is built up out of homely details

The highlight of the week in the
world of sports was the Davis Cup
Tennis matches, held at Haverford,
Pennsylvania. In the deciding match
Adrian Quist of Australia defeated
Babbs Rigg - of tin U. 8 A. 4 l,
6—4, '1—6, .‘1—6, 6—4. In the pre-
vious match on that day Jack Brom-
yourself with Sue and her struggles wi«h <lf Australia slaughtered Fran-
kie Parker, U. S. A. 6—0, 6—3,
with daily problems, unable to lay the
book aside until you know how she
won her way to freedom.
“Our Common Herd” is way off
the beaten track where professional
and conventional books are to be
found; and it calls for a wide reading
“Personally,” says Paul Jordan-
Smith, Literary editor of the Los
Angeles Times, “I wish it could be
read by all those enfeebled folks who
hold that the world owes them a
livin x, just because they have favored
the \vo"ld by having been born in it.”
This office is in receipt of a small
leather-bound volume entitled "Our
Common Herd” by Sue Sanders. It
is a fine little story, much of the
locale being Texas. For this reason
the editor intends to give it to the
local library.
The thing that distinguishes “Our
Common Herd” is that without any
disguises whatever it comes straight
up from the good American earth. It
is an authentic story, done without
affectation, and its honesty and veri-
ty commend it at once. Some true
stories arc so dressed up that we
doubt them from the start. This

A TEXAS EMERGENCY
Texans watch nervously the fate
of European people.
Within Texas, a crisis of direct
bearing upon their own fate is rapidly
shaping up.
Unless this country is involved in
war, the present emergency is of
greater consequence to the lives and
security of Texans than the European
situation.
This emergency is the rising traf-
fic toll.
A lot of us perhaps have had the
smug idea lately that we had the traf
fic problem whipped. Last year Texas
cut it3 death toll 21 per cent. For
the first five months of this year we
continued the reduction. Then some-
thing happened. We started stepping
on the gas and jaywalking again.
Accidents shot up. June, July, and
August traffic fatalities snapped a
record of 14 months reductions. In
the face of these increases, the dis-!
armament of the State Highway
Patrol takes place September 1 .Then
one out of 5 men must be fired as a
result of legislative and executive
economy.
And the end. the Texas Safety
Association predicts, may be the great
est death toll and property damage
for Texas since the peak year of
slaughter, 11*37.
Unless, that is, Texans stigmatize
careless driving and demand swift
and ceitain punishment for drunken
driving.
The emergency can be met —
with your help!
6—3, €—1. The day before, the
Australian doubles team of Quist and
Rrowich beat the U. S. kid doubles
team composed of 20 year old Joe
Hunt and 18 year old Jack Kromer,
the youngest team ever to represent
America. On the fust day of the
matches Bobby Riggs defeated Jack
