VOTE ‘STEAL’
PLOT CHARGED
IN LOUISIANA
i Opponents of Long’s
Old Organization
Fear Election T o
Be Fraud
HEW ORLEANS. Dec. 30.—7P—A
congressional committee took a
i hand Monday in the controversy
over a “fair” primary election in
Louisiana on Jan. 31. tantamount
to final choice in this democratic
state.
Hi* faction led by Rep Cleve-
land Dear candidate for governor
has charged repeatedly that the
administration of the late Senator
Huey P. Long plans to "steal” the
votes.
Governor O. K Allen candidate
for Long's unexpired senate term
who controls the election machin-
ery has asserted Just as vigorously
that the election will be honest.
Rep. Wilcox (D-Fla) member of
a congressional committee study-
ing Louisiana election practices
cent telegrams urging the parish
.(county' boards of supervisors of
diction to give each faction rep-
res&itation at the polls.
Dear is opposed by Richard
Leche administration candidate
and he has charged Governor Allen
committed huge "frauds” in grant-
ing oil concessions in the state to
political friends.
Rep. John Sandlin is opposing
Allen EUender speaker of the state
house of representatives for the
full term in the U. S. Senate.
The congressmen whom the late
Senator Long charged with "plot-
ting'' to kill him. have formed the
ao-called "home-rule” ticket in an
effort to oust the remnants of
Long's complicated state machine.
Under a law passed at Long's
direction the governor Is empow-
ered to appoint a majority of
members on the boards of super-
visors of election. The supervisors
in turn named the election-day
officials.
The law provides for five com-
missioners and five watchers at
each polling precinct. Rev. Wilcox
suggested that where one faction
had two commissioners and three
watchers the other faction should
have three commissioners and two
watchers.
Sixty per cent of the eggs pro-
duced in the United States come
from small flocks which do not
receive special care.
Palm Roof Looks
Forward to Good
Season In 1936
**I wish a happy New Year to all
of our old friends and patrons and
my New Year resolution shall be to
five them the same efficient service
as we have given in the past.” says
Matias Gcmez proprietor of the
Palm Roof situated just across the
Rio Grande at the old international
bridge here.
The Palm Roof long has been a
favorite with Valley residents and
ft Is becoming better known to ftJ#
tourist trade.
Furnishing the best of foods and
drinks at reasonable prices the
Palm Roof furnishes an admirable
place to spend a quiet afternoon. The
services are excellent and yet the
Palm Roof preserves the quaint at-
mosphere of Old Mexico.
Advantages Of
The Texas Planning Board In-
tends to make Texas conscious of
; a natural advantage in Its lengthy i
coast line
As the first step in a program
for complete utilization of Gulf
Coast area resources the board
scheduled a meeting In Houston
with its land use committee. The
program included a tour of in-
spection so 'ioard members could
get first-hand information.
W. M. Mas^ie. chairman said
the board would study possibilities
- r utilization of resource* 'through
Industrial processing and use of I
low water rates through the var-1
ious deep water ports on the Texas I
Gulf coast.”
He said the coast line Is exceeded
in length only by the coast of
Florida and California.
"Nature and engineering science
hare combined to create deep wa-
ter ports for the development of a
great export and Import business
which should give employment to
large numbers of Texas citizens.”
Massle said the board would con-
fer with "builders of this fa vot'd
legion and make a personal in-
spection of the many industries
which have been developed." Upon
conclusions so based the board

ica’s only boy quadruplets are look-
ing forward to the new year with
pleasant anticipation because they
have been promised that they can
see their first motion picture and
their first baseball game before 1S36
is over.
Anthony <A> Bernard «B» Carl
Vincent (C) and Donald <D> Perri-
cone. are six years old now and can
hardly wait to begin going places
and seeing things.
They live in the country and the
family cannot afford an automobile
so the healthy young boys have little
opportunity to go anywhere except
to school. Their parents. Mr. and
Mrs. Phillip Perricone could have
arranged transportation and spend-
ing money for them one at a time
but the mother didn’t want to
separate them.
Mrs. Pericone will take her young-
est of nine sons to their first show
primarily to let them see themselves
in a news reel which is expected
here in the near future.
’ Once they are Inside they may-
rest assured that they will want to
remain through the entire program
and probably longer” she says.
Rube Stuart president of the
Beaumont baseball club has invited
the lads to be his guests at the
opening of the Texas League game!
here in April.
The invitation was a Christmas
present and the six-year-olds ac-
cepted without hesitation. They are
sharpening their throws under the
tutelage of their grown brother.
Michael in the hope that they can
do a little “showing off" on the
diamond before the opening day
throng.
Each has a new half-size bat and
ball also Christmas gifts from
Stuart who hopes that all will be
performing with the Exporters be-
fore 1950.
The boys say their happiness in
1936 will be complete if they can
tind some way of attending the Tex-
as Centennial celebration at Dallas.
India contains one-sixth of all
the people on the globe. These are
divided among many races speak-

without him because he can get all
you need into the smallest possible
space with the least possible waste.
Of course if you can find a ready-
made plan that exactly fits your
needs you might save part of his
fee but you would not get the
proper details or finishes because
after all your builder no matter
how expert has not been trained
along the lines that fit him to decide
these things. And if you start to
make changes in ready-made plans
no matter how slight these changes
may seem there is no telling
where you will end up. The adding
of a window or a partition the
change of a door location or even
the swing of a door the additin of
a dormer the widening or lessen-
ing of a projection of a cornice or
any other change may set up a
string of changes that will alter en-
tirely the whole character of the
design or plan and you are apt to
get a misfit that will be most un-
satisfactory when it is completed
so from the point of view of value
received you are pretty sure to get
more for your dollar If an architect
is in charge.

Is an architect necessary for a
small-house job? Is he an extrava-
gance?
A good architect Is always worth 1
his pay not only from the view-
i point of getting into your plan
what you want in the most logical
and compact way but also is giving
your house an appeal through good i
designing that will enhance its
market value when and if the time
comes when you or your heirs and j
assigns want to dispose of it. Just
‘ as Paris styles have a something
about them that adds dollars to
their worth so a house designed by
a good architect stands out.
His lee may be large—he should
charge at least 8 per cent of the
building cost and it would be better
to pay him 10 per cent—but he
earns every cent of It; in fact in
small houses he will do well to break
even on his expenses.
He not only draws to floor plans
to suit your needs and the eleva-
tions in the style you want and
writes careful specifications of all
parts of the work but he makes
sheets of details of interior and
exterior parts of the house. He also
acts for you in taking bids and

stays with the house during its
construction in a supervisory ca-
pacity advising the owner and
builder on the hundred and one
little things that always come up
during the construction of any
house. He decides on what materials
are most suitable and appropriate
for each item of the work; he helps
the owner select colors; he decides
on grades; locates lighting outlets;
selects hardware; and generally
supervises the building operation
He is trained for that; he can see
tue house as a finished product;
he looks beyond each step of the
construction and can picture the
effect of each on the completed
house. It will be a better house if
the architect plans it and supervises
the construction
