ROAD PATROL
IS POPULAR
WITH PUBLIC
AUSTIN Nov. 3.-H*f>>— Praise
lor the Texas highway patrol! That
arm of the states government is
fast obtaining a place dear in the
hearts of the people that some
of the other departments do not
have.
Take for instance the recent
swing through Texas of James A.
Farley postmaster general of the
United Slates and Vice-President
John Nance Gamer.
L. G. Phares chief of the patrol
and his men were right at the
Important place every ume they
were needed—in Fort Worth Dal-
las San Antonio Uvalde and
Houston If it had not been for
them traffic would not have been
so easy.
Phares personally attended to the
Job of escorting the dignitaries in
Fort Worth and Dallas. He 'id a
fine Job and the state ought to
five him a hand.
When he saw the visitors safely
on the planes at Dallas he had
done his personal bit as chief of
the patrol. Word from him went
down the line and when San An-
tonio was reached there they were
—the boys of the patrol. They took
charge and cleared the way. They
stayed with the party until it en-
tered the planes for the hop to
Uvalde. At Garner's home town
the patrolmen m that area were
there to pick up where their com-
rades had left off in San Antonio.
They went to the Morrison ranch
and stayed on the job all night
and until Farley left next morning.
The state patrol was on the job
again at Houston and cleared the
way for Farley and his guests until
they left late that day.
Whenever an automobile went
out bearing Farley Gamer. Gov.
Ferguson or any member of their
respective parties there was an
■^scort of the Texas highway patrol
Available. That was a service to
the state to the visitors and to
those who are just units in ordi-
nary traffic trying to make their
way to some destination.
The patrol's popularity in Texas
is picking up every day. The boys
who ride the motorcycles up and
down the highways not only see
that the traffic laws are enforced
but they run errands—go after
gasoline for stalled motorists help
patch tires and give a helping hand
wherever they Teel one is needed
out on the highways.
They do their part to save lives
prevent accidents and at the same
time are ‘friends in need' when
a gallon of gasoline is wanted or a
tire needs fixing.

MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK. Nov. 3. •<**>—'The
stock market was still under the
spell of uncertainty today.
Scattered buying appeared in a
few groups while metals encount-
ered profit taking. Price changes
were mixed and largely narrow.
Grains again advanced a cent or so.
in sympathy with foreign markets
and in expectation of Washington
developments but cotton was nar-
rowly changed. The dollar failed
to decline to any extent In foreign
exchange dealings despite a sub-
stantial boost in the RFC gold
price.
Oils were firm with Socony-
Vacuum up nearly a point in re-
sponse to dividend resumption. A
little buying appeared in the sugars
as well with American 9ugar Re-
fining advancing about a point
as the raw sugar futures market
j stiffened. Rails were also firm for
1 a time. Such issues as American
Telephone and U. 8 Steel were
about unchanged. In the non-
ferrous metals U. S. Smelting and
McIntyre slid off baout 3 points
and others sagged fractions to a
point.
Business and Industrial news was
somewhat unfavorable but an-
nouncement of substantial loans
from the government lor railway
i equipment purchases and the ap-
proach of the holiday shopping sea-
son. brought hopes of better re-
ports in coming weeks. The week-
ly statistics on the movement of
revenue freight were a little dis-
couraging. showing a drop of 13.-
808 cars from the previous week a
somewhat larger than seasonal re-
cession The total of 636.674 cars
however was 19 390 above the like
week of last year.

shade higher today in sympathy
with better Liverpool steady ster-
ling and a rather sharp advance
in the gold price. First trades show-
ed gains of one to three points
and the market gained a little fur-
ther after the start on rade buy-
ing. December rose to 9.57 and
March to 9 80. or 3 to 4 points
above vesterday’s close.
A little later prices reacted on
some hedging to 9 54 for December
and 9.78 for March down 2 to 3
points from the opening highs but
before the end of the first hour the
market recovered a point or so of
j this reaction.
The market ruled very quiet all
morning tho axtreme range of
fluctuations being only 3 points.
March at one time made a new high
at 9.81 while December duplicated
its early high at 9.57 or 4 points
above yesterday’s close. Around noon

Texans doubtless had given no
thought to Farley's religious af-
filiation during his swing through
Texas until Houston was reached.
There Dr William States Jacobs
brought the matter up.
Irish Catholic
Rising to welcome Parley the
well-known minister said:
"Jim Farley they tell me you are
an Irish Catholic.”
There was a rush in the banquet
hall as Dr. Jacobs paused. Farley
sat motionless with his eyes lower-
ed.
Then Dr. Jacobs launched into
a broad statement in which he
paid his respects to the popes who.
he told Farley had been the lead-
ers of thought in the world for the
past generation. He expressed rev-
erence for the pope and the Cath-
olic church. When Farleys time
to talk came he expressed special
thanks to Dr. Jacobs for the re-
marks he had made.
No Meat Served
When Will Rogers was brought In
and did not want to talk he final-
ly did ask: Is that fellow Jacobs
stilll here?” When he received an
affirmative reply Rogers added:
• Just wanted to tell him I see by
the papers where we are going to
recognize Soviet Russia. iTiat will
dump 125 000.000 more atheists in-
to his lap.”
Farley s San Antonio visit came
on Friday a meat fast day in the
Catholic church. Those who ar-
ranged the banquet in that city
must have known that Farley is a
communicant of the Catholic
church. There was no meat served.
A. J. Drossaerts archbishop of San
Antonio gave the invocation. Farley
showed his Catholic training when
as he left his chair to address the
audience he called the name of
“Your Most Excellency. Archbishop
Drossaerts” along with “Mr. Vice-
President.” ' Mr Mayor” * Mr.
Chairman.” el cetera.
