Hotel Adolphus. Every single em-
ployee here lives that slogan every
day so that you will be more com-
fortable, better entertained, more
graciously treated and better and
more quickly served from the
minute you enter the front door
until you leave it again. It’s the
spirit of the Hitz organization.

Austin, Texas.—“The analo-
gy between fires and communi-
cable diseases is a very close
one, observes the Texas State
Department of Health. Every
fire has a definite cause and us-
ually a small beginning, just as
every epidemic of disease has
its origin in a single case. The
flames of conflagration increase
in height, heat, and destructive
power to a maximum and then
gradually recede. In like man-
ner, every outbreak of infect-
ious disease increases to a peak
when the most cases are re-
ported and then subsides. No
fire can rage without combusti-
ble material; no epidemic can
get under way without suscept-
ible material; no epidemic can
get under way without suscept-
ible persons. A fire may smoul-
der and break out anew unless
checked; similarly, infectious
disease may be very subtle and
insidious in its manner of
spread until investigated and
brought under control.
“The practice of disease pre-
vention is beginning to effect
public opinion. Certain well
known diseases like diphtheria
and smallpox
preventable.

A veteran East . Texas repre-
reading
summary
at
Austin hotels are enjoying
•an unprecedented boom with
the taking of office by the new
administration, the convening
of the legislature and the conn-
sequent descent of job-seekers
and lobbyists upon the capital.
Frequently there are no ac-
commodations available in the
two large hostelries. The in-
auguration ceremonies reflect-
ed the high mark, when thous-
ands descended upon Austin.
The travel volume here indi-
cates the depression is definite-
ly over in the capital, and with
the Centennial coming up next
year, the innkeepers are anti-
cipating a permanent residence
by Santa Claus in Austin.
Gov. Allred, the cynosure of
all eyes at present, has taken
A leaf from the book of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his relations
■with the newsmen who cover
the Capital. The President’s
happy relations with the news-
hawks in Washington is tradi-
tional, and is largely responsi-
ble for his excellent “press.”
Gov. Allred has adopted a pol-
icy of holding his daily press
conference promptly at 9:30
-without fail. No matter who
may be waiting, or in the of-
fice, the newsmen know they
have a carte blanche to “crash
the gate” to his office when the
clock strikes. Smiling, Jimmie
meets them, and answers all
questions.

The press conference during
the Ferguson regime had de-
clined until they were not held
or.ee in two weeks, sometimes.
■Usually, Governor Jim was on
hand, and did as much talking
as the Governor. With certain
Individual newsmen, Mrs. Fer-
guson had fairly cordial rela-
tions; toward others, whose pa-
pers dealt harshly with herself
and Jim, she was bitterly an-
tagnoistic.
Job-hunters still haunt the
capitol. More than 3,000 have
applied for places on the state
ranger force, with two-score
jobs to be filled, under the
present setup. Every veteran
peace officer in Texas, it seems,
would be a Ranger. Gov. All-

red and his aides handle the
job-hunters suavely, but firm-
ly. They have occurred no out-
ward incidents such as the
“bawling out” that Jim Fergu-
son gave the assemblage after
his wife took office two years
ago, when he brusquely told us
“get to work.”
Austin.—Speaker Coke Stev-
enson named his 35 important
committees in the Texas House
«rf Representatives this week
end, and the ponderous machin-
ery of democratic government
made ready for action. During
the next three and a half
months it will grind out the
laws under which Texans will
live during the ensuing bien-
num. It will raise $40,000,000
or more—and appropriate the
Rum to the various agencies
and departments of govern-
ments to conduct the budgeted
departments of government.
Besides the routine of financ-
ing the government by taxes,
the solons must determine con-
clusions upon a dozen or more
major issues of policy. Includ-
ed is the liquor problem—pro-
bable submission of repeal of
the State constitutional prohi-
bition amendment, and consid-
eration of a method of regula-
tion of the traffic, if prohibi-
tion is wiped out in law, as it
already has been in fact thru-
out Texas. A bitter fight
against resubmission is indicat-
ed, before the amendment ever
gets to the people—-if it dees.
With Governor Allred pledged
Ao resubmission (although per-
sonally a dry himself) and the
democratic state platform like-
wise on record for passing the
problem back to the people, the
prospect is that an o’d-fashkn-
<ed prohibition campaign will
resound through the hills and
dales of Texas by the Fourth
of July. .______

This story has no particular
legislative significance, but
here it is:
Two gentlemen, well-known
members of the “third house”
(the lobbyists) were discussing
a freshman member of the
House who had proved a bitter
disappointment to them. Quite
frankly, he told them he favor-
ed certain legislation they op-
posed—and they had under-
stood his vote against could be
counted on.
They were discussing him in
a hotel lobby.
“If Huey Long had a half-
witted brother, he would lock
exactly like that guy,” ventur-
ed one of them.
“Oh, no, he wouldn’t,”...re*
marked the other. “If Huey
Long had a half-witted brother
he would BE that guy.”

The merchant who is not advertising and who observes that his
competitor is not advertising either, is fooling himself if he believes that
competitive advertising is not hurting him.

Daily newspapers from neighboring towns come into his town
every day. Some of his potential customers read them, and note the ad-
vertising messages they carry. Unless the home merchant is meeting
this competition with similar advertising, he is> losing business that he
ought to have. If he doesn’t think so, he is kidding himself, and the
longer he kids himself the more business he will lose.
A certain amount of business will come to a town regardless of
the efforts put forth by merchants. But there isn’t enough business of
this kind to make any town a good business town. It is the business
that may come to a town or go to a competing town, depending upon the
type of merchandising in the two towns, that keeps a business institution
out of he red.

Dr. Herman Biggs, former
Health Commissioner of New
York, said: ‘Within certain
limits, it is possible for any
community to determine its
own death rate.’ This state-
ment applies without a doubt
to diphtheria, but unless local
health agencies are adequately
supported, this scourge and
other preventable conditions as
well, will continue to take a
toll of infant and child life. So-
cial diseases continue to spread
and demand measures to curb
and control them, which are
similar to those used against
typhoid fever or tuberculosis.
