. LVIN YORK, hero of the
i. war, is in Dallas at the meet-
g of the National Educational
ssociatlon—or about to be.
• • *
York nowadays is acclaimed as
hero of other days, but it is
icoming more and more true
at he is a hero of the very
•esent. He is attempting In the
nest way to take education and
ilightenment into the hill coun-
y of Tennessee—the country
om which he went to Franco
id to fame.
* ■ •
You will find heroism rightly
i^cted in the teaching world
I the time. Texas, however,
sods the highest sort of hero-
tn. and is getting a vast deal
' it.
• • •
There is heroism needed in
king the word to the people all
cr the state that buildings do
it make the school.
• • »
One of the greatest drawbacks
the less prosperous counties
is been that in the past an easy
stem of bonding and building
as placed in the hands of school
immlssloners. Rutldlngs were
jilt with bond money, and the
ork of paying off the bonds cost
i much that no equipment nor
mipetent teachers could be
rovlded lor the children who
ere called into the buildings.
* * •
UuHdiugs deteriorated, and
>me smaller counties are hav-
g difficulty in overcoming the
tndicap placed on them In those
dcr years when men thought
•chool'' was a building.
• • •
More and more the thought of
is people is being turned to the
iea of better teachers, better
'epared. Misinformation can l>«
rougltt to children by unpre-
ired teachers.
ft • •
For instance, a mother hers in
ort Worth the other day was
piking to her son about geog-
iphy. The boy. talking enthu-
astlcally. used a most unusual
amc for a well known and beau-
ful i alley.
« • «
What was that name!1’ the
lother asked. The child repeat-
i it. "Where did you get that
ronunclatlon?" asked the moth-
"My teacher said that is
;ht." said the boy.
# • • •
ill0 mother Just slopped her
[ork. and sat down to explain to
is boy Just what the accepted
nd correct pronunciation of the
ord is. The teacher had given
Ira the wrong information.
• • ♦
Geography is filled with names
T town.-, rivers, straits, bays.
Dunds, lakes, peninsulas, prom-
ntorles, nations, winds, animals
everything. If the teacher
pesn't know—well, the teachers
llIST know.
* • •
J AVE you noticed recently the
IT Improvement in the Main
^reet crossing of the T&P?
• • •
That improvement, relieving
any a bump that was previous-
forced upon autoist and street
<r rider, makes much simpler a
rade crossing that nevertheless
a thing that must be removed
■om Fort Worth.
Do net let the more easy pass-
I -o across those switching tracks
[like from your mind the great
i-oject that must be kept upper-
OBt iu the minds of Fort Worth
■ople—elimination of that grade
I'osslng and switching in the
hblic streets of Fort Worth.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—By a of the bill thruout the session,

day adopted a qloture rule on the fused to vote cloture on the public
Andrews' bill for re-organizatlon ! buildings bills which placed It In
of the prohibition department.
The vote was 55 to 27, one more i
than two-thirds required for lnvo-!
cation of the seldom-used drastic
rule.
This action probably will assure
passage of the prohibition measure
i and gives its precedence In the
[ maelstrom of measures deadlock-
ing theuppre house.
The cloture rule, limiting de-
bate. will break the filibuster of
aprecarlous legislative position.
Cloture on prohibition side-
tracks the Boulder Dam bill which
still would have been before the
Senate had the prohibition cloture
been defeated. This was generally
regarded as the end of the Bould-
er Dam bill for this session.
The prohibition bill now must
stay before the Senate until action
Is taken, and a filibuster from
wets is In prospect.

$150,000 Loss Reported in
Big Blaze
BLOCK IS SAVED
Several Other Places
Water Damaged
McLellan's variety store, com-
pletely destroyed by fire which
broke out in the basement short-
ly after midnight Sunday, will
continue at the same location as
soon as the building can be re-
built, F. B. Andrews, New York,
vice president, announced Monday.
Total loss from the fire, smoke
and water, which also damaged
Washer Bros., men’s clothing
store; Dr. A. B. Couch, Camera
Craft Studio, Georgia Loan Cpm-
pany and several other establish-
ments, was estimated at *150,000
by Claude Ligon, fire prevention
chief.
Damage From Water.
Washer Bros.’ chief damage
was from water on stocks, the
heat from the McLellan building
setting off the sprinkler system.
Offices of Dr. Couch, Camera
Craft Studio and Georgia Loan
Company, located on the second
floor of the building McLellan's
was in, were completely de-
stroyed.
The fire was discovered by
Frank Greenberg, nightwateh-
man, on his rounds. He turned In
an alarm, which was answered by
seven hose companies.
Only prompt work on the part
of firemen prevented the confla-
gration from spreading. Interiors
of all buildings in the block are
not of fireproof construction.
1*1,000 Is Found.
A black bag, containing *1,000
In currency, was found in the
ruins of the building Monday by
Patrolmen Tuggle and Hilts. It ■
was later claimed by Manager A. '
B. Chapman.
Chapman explained that he
kept his money in the bag, and
that the store did not have a safe. |
While the stock of Mcl^llan's
Is a total loss, the fire burned
more on the east side of the store. ,
The main floor of the west part
of the store did not fall thru. The
east side of the store was in the
F. M. Long Building, while the
west side was in a building owned
by Mrs. John W. Floore of Cle-
burne.
The McLellan store was opened
early In November, 1926. An-
drews arrived in Fort Worth Sun-
day to make an inspection of the
properties here. A. R. Chapman
is manager of the Fort Worth
store.
Other stores and officea which
suffered water or smoke damage
were Singer Seeing Machine
Company, Gavrel Bios, and Coney
Island, all on Ninth Street; Hal-
tom Optical Company, Newark
Shoe Store, Mayo Dental Labora-
tory and Fort Worth Business
College, all on Main Street.
Not Fireproof.
Two picture shows, the Rex and
the Alps, tho touching the Mc-
Lellan store on each side of the
Houston Street entrance, escaped
damage except for a small amount
of water In the rear.
Due to the fire galuing such
headway before being discovered,
only the speedy work of the fire
department saved the whole block
from destruction, as the Interiors
of all buildings in the block are
not of fireproof construction. s
