“Faithful Service”
At the regular weekly luncheon of
the Lions club today noon guests
were 0. B. Jones, group chairman of
District Eighteen; L. L. Bowman Jr.,
past president of the Greenville Li-
ons club, and Hon. H. E. Pharr, all
of Greenville.
0. B. Jones was the principal
speaker, introduced by Lion Presi-
dent R. Sheppard. He brought a re-
port on “The District as a Whole.”
In his introductory remarks he ex-
pressed pride of having been a citi-
zen of Sulphur Springs and of his
marriage to a girl of this city, and
told of the decision made at a meet-
ing of Lions in Austin of division
into zones and, continuing, said:
“Duties always before a club create
interest of the town. A club depends
upon its members as individuals and
should be an organization that builds
character and helps in upbuilding of
citizenship, and acting for the good
of the community, making it a bet-
ter place in which to live. It is a
service club and its usefulness means
love fpr community, friends and
country.”
L. L. Bowman Jr. made a short
talk in which he brought out as
thought in Li on ism, the vital part of
each member of the club as most in-
terested when actively engaged in
some project, and stressed the local
as well as international part of a
club, better interest in club work is
created, tasks well done, and in mak-
ing the town in which you live a bet-
ter place.
Business before the club was
communication read by Secretary
Sherwood in interest of local club, in
support of a bill in regard to self-
support as establishing, independence
of the adult blind of the state.
Bacharach controlling' the twenty
minutes of debate. Representative
Thomas Blanton (Dem.), Texas, pre-
dicted the House would easily over-
ride any veto, and Representative
Wright Patman (Dem.), Texas, said
he would continue his campaign to
have Congress vote the full cash val-
ue of the certificates.
Predicts Passage in Senate.
The House action puts the bill in
a unique parliamentary situation,
which brought from Senator Cou-
zens the suggestion that “I think
some of the appropriation bills will
be held up until this bill is enacted.”
Senator Couzens favors a special ses-
sion almost as strongly as he does
this measure. The situation he fore-
sees is this:
The overwhelming Senate major-
ity will succeed in bringing out the
bill from committee and passing it
this week. It will go to President
Hoover perhaps on Friday. Certainly
late this week, according to all indi-
cations. The President has ten days
to sign or veto it. The President
could send up a veto on the tenth
day, which would be about March. 2.
Couzens Has Ace Up Sleeve.
Thereupon the administration men
opposed to the measure could start a
filibuster. If they could talk until
noon March 4, Congress would dd-
journ automatically and the veto,
not acted upon, would kill the bill.
To prevent this possibility, Sena-
tor Couzens is planning to hold up
final action on appropriation meas-
ures by objections and other tactics
until the measure is finally enacted.
Thus he would be able to force a
special session if Mr. Hoover suc-
ceeded in killing the soldier bill.
Senator Watson said he desired
open committee hearings by the Fin-
ance Committee to give Mr. Mellon
and others a chance to state the
grounds for the administration’s op-
position.
Just prior to the brief debate that
preceded passage of the adjusted
\ service certificate bill, Representa-
tive Wright Patman of the Texar-
kana District, deposited on the
speaker’s rostrum a pile of petitions
in behalf of the measure signed by
500,000 persons. The Texas Repre-
sentative explained most of the sign-
ers were ex-service men, though a
few of the indorsements were of
business men. All of the petitions
were sent directly to Mr. Patman’s
office in Washington. The petitions
were piled several feet high and
were brought into the House on a
small truck.
of the Senate. He was considered
one of the most prominent attorneys
in this section of the state. Sever-
al years ago he moved to Houston,
where he became connected with the
Federal Land Bank as an attorney
and it was in this capacity that he
was serving at the time of his
death.
He is survived by his widow and
several children.
PRINT 4 BILLS ON
MINORITY REPORTS
wood, who led the economy move,
claimed the Fortieth Legislature in
granting the increase • did not mean
for it to become operative until Sept.
1, 1927.
The Senate Highway and Motor
Traffic Committee voted to hold a
public hearing next Monday after-
noon and night on bills to regulate
buses and trucks.
The same committee approved the
Williamson bill to increase the high-
way patrol from 50 to 200 men. The
bill was amended to broaden the pa-
trolmen’s powers so they might make
arrests for any kind of law violation.
Austin, Feb. 17.—The House of
Representatives Monday staged a mild
revolt against its committees, voting
to print four bills on minority com-
mittee reports.
Among the bills was one calling for
an elective rather than an appointive
Highway Commission. The highway
and motor traffic committee voted 12
to 7 to make an unfavorable report
on the bill. The House Monday voted
84 to 38 to print the bill, thus saving
it for future action. ,
Opposition to printing bills on mi-
nority reports were voiced by Repre-
sentative Keller of Dallas, who as-
serted the House might as well de-
stroy its committees.
The Senate Monday followed the
House in going on record in favor of
permitting defendants pleading guilty
in less than capital offenses to waive
jury trials. The State substituted
a bill by Senator Woodward of Cole-
man for the bill passed by the House.
The vote on final passage was 14 to 2.
This bill caused some argument
and the Senate immediately after its
passage turned to another proposal
by Senator Woodward which led to a
sharp verbal tilt between the Coleman
Senator and Senator Holbrook of
Galveston.
The bill was a suggested change in
the law governing sanity trials of
convicts, but both speakers wandered
afield. Senator Holbrook accused
Woodward of “trotting to Austin”
with bills to tear down the bill of
rights, and Woodward retaliated with
the charge that Holbrook had backed
legislation aiding bootleggers.
Under Woodward’s bill as amend-
ed so far a sanity trial would be al-
lowed on an insanity affidavit from
the head of a state hospital, from
three licensed physicians, from the
prison warden or the prison physi-
cian.

BARKEEPER INVENTS
CALAMITY COCKTAIL
AS GLOOM CHASER

JUDGE SHERRILL
DIES MONDAY
IN HOUSTON
Paris, Feb. 16.—Calamity cock-
tails, conceived for moaning pessi-
mists in the world-wide economic
crisis, is the Paris offering to put
more brightness into a gloomy world.
The creation of a barkeeper who
caters almost entirely to Ameri-
caps and English, the cocktail is re-
fused customers who wear a smile. It
is reserved for misery mongers.
Along with the cocktail, the cus-
tomer receives a large towel, with
a ticket attached. This is handed to
him, with his drink. The directions
advise him to drink the calamity cock-
tail, move along to the end of the
bar, have a good cry, and not to face
the barkeeper again until he can
show a smile.
The proprietor declared that at
present America is sending over
hundreds of gloom ambassadors, the
same people who last year boasted of
their gains on Wall street. Then it
was the fashion to boast of cleaning
up on the market and now, by a
curious psychological reaction, every-
one is anxious to explain how much
he has lost.
In this way bar-room conversa
tion in Paris is largely composed of
swapping yarns about personal hard
luck experiences. When personal ex
perience fails, the calamity custom-
ers recount the misfortune of oth-
ers.
Bartenders declare that to judge
by recently arrived Americans, they
and their friends are penniless, yet
they buy just as much champagne as
ever and go the usual rounds.
Two or three calamity cocktails,
accompanied by two or three “weep-
ing towels,” are calculated to cure
the average grumbler. For the
chronic glooms, there is a booth at
one end of the bar, to which they
can retire and weep, while waiters
keep up relays of towels with
which to dry their tears.
FAMOUS
Doctor’s Way to.
move the Bowels
Do your bowels fail you occasionally?
Are you a chronic sufferer from consti-
pation and its ills? Then you will be
interested to know of this method which
makes the bowels help themselves.
Dr. Caldwell specialized on bowel ills.
He treated thousands for constipation.
The prescription he wrote so many times
which has been tested by 47 gears’
practice—can be had of any drugstore
today. Its pleasant taste and the way
it acts have'made it the world’s largest
selling laxative.
“Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin,” as it
is called, is a skilful compound of laxa-
tive herbs, pure pepsin and other mild
ingredients. Nothing in it to harm even
a baby. Children like its taste. It' acts
gently, without griping or discomfort.
So it is ideal for women or older people.
But even the most robust man will find
its action thorough, satisfying. The
quick, certain benefits millions are
securing from Syrup Pepsin proves a
doctor knows what is best for the bowels.
Next time you feel bilious, headachy,
bloated, gassy, or constipated take some
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin and see
how fine you feel the next day—and for
days to come!

said, took no account of $330,000,-
000 already loaned to veterans.
Mr. Bacharach in the leading
speech for the hill advanced the arg-
ument the 1925 “bonus” act was
really an insurance law, and that if
veterans had been given “old line”
insurance they would be able to bor-
row, not 50 per cent, as proposed by
this bill, but 53 per cent, by now.
Situation Declared Unjust.
The present situation, he said, was
“unfair, unjust and intolerable” to
the veterans. Decrying the large cost
estimates of Mr. Mellon, Mr. Bacha-
rach said even in the depression year
of 1930, veterans borrowed only
$90,000,000 out of $340,000,000
which was available under the pres-
ent allowance. He estimated not more
than one-half of the veterans would
borrow under the new act.
Democrats who have been fore-
most in the fight for veterans’ legis-
lation were allowed a half minute to
speak in three or four instances, Mr.
