Fulton, editor of the Van Alstyne

of -an organization formed by descen-
dants of the signers of Texas dec-
laration of independence last week at
a meeting held in Dallas.
According to Mr. Fulton,
than 300 persons from all parts
Texas were present for the initial
meeting. The next meeting will be
held on March 2, 1937, at Washing-
ton on the Brazos, which is to be the

Status of Television
As developed up to now, and not
necessarily as it finally will be, tele-
vision transmits on ultra-high fre-
quencies a picture having 343 lines.
That is to say, the transmitting ap-
paratus scans the picture 343 times.
The 24 such pictures are transmitted
each second, to give the effect of
motion.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. — Acci-
dental deaths in the United States
will total about 110,000 for 1936, the
national safety council’s statistical
bureau calculated today at the open-
ing of the twenty-fifth national saf-
ety conference. ,
This would be 10,000 more than
last year’s death toll, and 9,000 above
the previous high figure, reached in
1934, the bureau reported to the
thousands of industrial and traffic
engineers, public officials and insur-
ance men as they began their confer-
ence, which will continue until Fri-
day night.
The calculation, based on accident
reports for the first eight months of
the year, was pronounced “startling”
by the safety advocates in view of
their program to reduce accidents 35
per cent during the five years begin-
ning last Jan. 1.
Heat Is Blamed
Of the expected 10,000 increase, the
bureau estimated 6,000 could be at-
tributed to excessive heat—sunstroke,
heat' collapse and blowouts traceable
to hot roads. The other 4,000, the re-
port said, would be chargeable to in-.
Haw
Human Eye Still Best
Science can not detect or measure
a difference in thickness of one-mil-
lionth of an inch, but, according to
Dr. Katherine B. Blodgett of the re-
search staff of the General Electric
Company at Schenectady, the human
eye can.
If you are not color blind and you
note a red ring and a yellow ring in
a film of oil on water you are detect-
ing a film thickness difference of
one-millionth of an inch.
The difference in colors is caused
by the interference with one another
of the many rays of light as they are
reflected from and through the vary-
ing thickness of the oil film.

went out of commission, but scien-
tists and engineers are by no means
convinced that the idea of the
Smithsonian Institution’s secretary
is impractical.

and will appear rising from the east-

automobile accidents during July and
August really represented a drop of

ber of deaths.”

OTTAWA, Ont. — The Canadian
government is treating the country’s
drouth problem as a “national
emergency.”
Declaring the whole Dominion must
share the cost of administering relief
to some 200,000 persons made desti-
tute by successive years of drouth in
the Canadian prairie provinces,
Minister of Finance Charles A. Dun-
ning has announced that the govern-
ment will extend aid to any area
where local authorities are unable to
cope with the situation.
No official estimate of the probable
cost of relief has been made, but un-
officially it is believed it will exceed
$10,000,000. It is estimated that at
least 200,000 persons in the southern
part of Alberta and Saskatchewan
have been deprived of even a vestige
of a means of livelihood by the rav-
ages of drouth over a period of four
to eight years.
Like Dust Bowl Area
The situation in these two prov-
inces is declared to be similar to the
distress in Middle Western United
States. Local authorities have de-
clared the means of relief at their
disposal are hopelessly inadequate to
cope with the distress, and the Do-
minion government will be forced to
assume the major portion of the bur-
den.
Relief measures will consist of pro-
viding food, fuel, clothing and furni-
ture to the destitute, removing set-
tlers from lands ruined beyond hope
of rehabilitation to more fertile areas,
a scheme for conserving water, and
the disposal, either by removal to fer-
tile grazing lands, sale or slaughter,
of hundreds of thousands of cattle in
the dry areas of Alberta. The Domin-
ion government will work in close
cooperation with various provincial
and municipal governments and
hopes also to enlist the aid of the
Canadian Red Cross.
In announcing the relief measures,
Dunning said the government would
assume responsibility of bringing the
standard of living among the suffer-
ers up to the level prevailing among
the sufferers not affected by the dis-
tress.
Homes To Be Refurnished
Besides being provided with food,
fuel, clothing and other immediate
necessities, the homes of destitute
settlers will be refurnished at gov-
ernment expense. In areas where
protracted drouth has converted
farmlands into desert-like wastes set-
tlers will be aided to remove belong-
ings to more fertile areas and to es-
tablish new homes.
Simultaneously, the provincial and
ern section, International
tion of Electrical Inspectors,
Tuesday at the eighth annual
vention of the group in Dallas.
“Even with a low voltage
amount of amperage might electro-
cute a person if that person had a
firm enough grasp on the electrolized
wire, or lamp or whatever it might
be,” he said. “Electricity travels in a
circuit and if the circuit passes close
enough to the heart it’s liable to be
all over.”
It is because of the tendency of
persons to think that they are ama-
teur electricians that so many people
electrocute themselves and so many
'fires are caused annually, Mr. Fisher
said.
“There’s a would-be electrician in
nearly every business establishment
and many homes these days,” he con-
tinued. “It might be the janitor or
the office boy or just anyone that
the boss thinks can repair a light or
run an extension. It was not so
many years ago that everyone was
more or less afraid of electricity.
Even the electricians were leery of it.
But today with radios and electrical
appliances and devices of all sorts
even the children fool with it. And,
although the uniform codes adopted
by manufacturers and cities makes it
less hazardous, many persons kill
themselves every year because they
figured they were electricians.”
It used to be somewhat common
for persons to electrocute themselves
in the bathroom, Mr. Fisher said.
That was in the days of brass fixtures
and a person would reach up while
in the tub or standing on a wet floor
to turn on the light and the' fixture
happened to be out of order. That
has been remedied greatly by adop-
tion of standard codes. Under these
codes the switch in a modern bath-
room is placed where a person can-
not reach it from the bathtub al-
though the switch itself is porcelain
instead of brass.
The basement is the dangerous
place in homes right now, the in-
spectors’ president said, because it is
there that some would-be electrician
usually tries to extend a wire or in-
stall some gadget of his own inven-
tion. It is also there where
fires are started and homes
stroyed.”

WASHINGTON. — There’s a long,
hard, cold winter ahead—if the pre-
dictions of the White House’s own
weather prognasticator mean any-
thing.
He’s a rare “white squirrel.” For
several years there’s has been a tra-
dition that in the fall when he gets
his winter coat, the color of it tells
whether the winter will be severe or
mild.
If his winter fur is only silvery, it
means a mild winter. The paler his
shade, the more the snow and cold.
Today the squirrel appeared in his
new fall overcoat — it was arctic
white.

Washington is that checks are beinj
turned out at the rate of 40,000 a daj

tificates will be 4c a pound on abou
17 per cent of the poundage submit-
ted to the national pool since manj
certificates were still in the poo
when the sale was closed.
5,000 Checks Unpaid
Though Texas cotton contracts to-
taled about 735,000 for the y<
1933, 1934 and 1935, there now
main unpaid only about 5,000 c
tracts. The principal cause for d«
in clearing these contracts has b
the tediousness of getting legal
pers of estates in shape.
Cotton price adjustment work
also in the final stages. Texas col
producers filed 258,686 applicati
for payments adjusting the price re-
ceived for their 1935 cotton crop;
258,103 of these applications having
been certified for payment to the
general accounting office on the A. &
M. College campus. This represents
975,919,187 pounds of cotton and
payments will amount to $9,783,-
627.25.
Of the 583 applications still on
hand some of them are being held
because of having been filed after
the final date—Aug. 15—when appli-
cations could be received and others
because of various legal errors in-
volved in the preparation of the pa-
pers.
Payment of ginners’ compensation
for work in connection with the
Bankhead act is another job that is
grinding on toward the end. Appli-
cations amounting to 3,215 represent-
ing 2,738,026 bales of cotton have
been received. Of these 3,077 repre-
senting 2,574,433 bales have been
certified foi' payments amounting to
$643,607.19. The remaining 138 ap-
plications representing 163,593 bales
are to be cleared one way or another
very soon.
Work Began in August
Work on measuring compliance
with agricultural conservation plans,
which entitled farmers to grants of
money, is about one-third completed,
it is estimated.
This work was begun about the
fourth week in August and the meas-
urements have been made by using
the same ways employed in measur-
ing compliances in previous pro-
grams, except that in twenty counties
aerial maps are being used.
It is planned to complete the meas-
urement in the State by Oct. 20."
One district has completed the work
already.
