Ferris, Texas, May 15.—The Tex-
as Electric Railway has begun con-
struction cf an onion platform to
(handle the crop in this vicinity
this season. The crop is estimated
at 400 cars out of Ferris. Recent
rains' have been of great benefit
to onions as well as to corn and
cotton. Shipping season is expected
to open between the first and fifth
of June. The platform will be 150
by 40 feet and is an addition to
the one used to handle last year’s
output.

in the death of one of her two
daughters, was placed under $6,000
bond Thursday on a murder charge
in connection with the death of
her second daughter, Billie Fae

G. C. Harris, her attorney, said
bond will be made and Mrs. Pat-
terson probably will be released
from the Hunt county jail soon.
Mrs. Patterson - was quoted as say-
ing she planned to visit a sister
in El Paso for a long rest.

Austin, Texas, May 15.—De-

took ta high-speed automobiles
today as a means of stopping
reckless driving on state high-
ways.
Although convinced this, cam-
paign to make Texans “safety
conscious” was producing re-
sults, L. G. Phares, chief of the
highway patrol, a division of
the safety department, per-
fected machinery with which to
curb what he termed “a small
minority of law violators.
“Chronic speeders' as a result of
the new method, will do well to
halt this practice,” the chief said,
“for they will never know until too
late whether the car they swerv-
ed around at seventy miles an
hour contained alert S-men.
“The safety squadmen who will
ride in siren equipped high speed
cars will make their identity known
and while they may not give the
violator a courteous warning, de-
pending on the magnitude of his'
act, the chances are excellent that
a ticket to court will result in most
cases'.”
Phares said the chronic speeder
was paricuarly dangerous on
highways and difficult to- catch.

Washington, May 15—Myron Bla-
lock, democratic state chairman,
spent the day in conference with'
party chieftains, but has made no
headway in obtaining additional
seats for the Texas delegation at
the Philadelphia convention. The
Texas state chairman does not
seek to enlarge the vote of the
state in the convention, which is
forty-six, but thinks that oppor-
tunity should be afforded to reward
deserving democrats by enlarging
the size of the delegation.
Blalock conferred with Vice Pres-
ident Garner and officials at the
party’s national headquarters, in-
cluding Emil Hurja, chief statisti-
cian and expert in estimating
trends in political opinion, and
Charles Michaelson, head of the
publicity section. Blalock supple-
mented the invitation extended by
Karl Crowley for Michaelson to
attend the democratic state con-
vention in San Antonio, May 26.
Blalock and former Governor
Pat Neff of Waco, en route to
Texas from the East, were guests
at the weekly luncheon given by
members of the Texas delegation.
Ex-Governor Neff was the only
speaker. Blalock conferred at length
with members of the delegation
after the luncheon.
Blalock s'aid the Texas democratic
organization is in a state of com-
plete harmony. The general com-
ment among the Texans was that
Garner would be re-elected national
committeeman from Texas, which
would be necessary for him to re-
tain his position as vice chair-
man of the national committee.
Blalock leaves for* Texas Friday.

With the proper precaution of-
ficials are sure that serious injury
to the accident victim from im-
proper handling will be greatly re-
duced.
Many accidents occur where it
is impossible to obtain the services:
of a physician at once. These sit-
uations will make it possible for
accident victims to have treatment
within a few minutes after the ac-
cident—the time when they most
need it.

Ketchikan, and Rose Inlet were

the rest stayed in hopes of return-

Messages from the ship late in
the day said it might get under
way by morning for Ketchikan if
additional pumps arrive from the
Alaskan city.
Wireless dispatches from Ketchi-
kan told of thick weather and said
the little cutter was jammed with
the rescued. They totaled 180, in-
cluding the North Sea’s engineers
and steward’s staff.

Dallas, Texas, May 15.— With
workers being placed in jobs
through Texas during April at
double the rate of March, Dallas
set the pace for all sections' of
Texas, Labor Commissioner. F. E.
Nichols, Austin, said Thursday.
The estimates were based, Mr.
Nichols said, on reports of the
Texas State Employment Service,
which showed 2,551 jobs were filled
through the Dallas office during
April. Of thes’e 1,596 were placed in
shops, factories, building jobs and [
farms at prevailing wage .scales and '
955 on work relief projects, I. L.
Peterson is manager of the Dallas
office.
The reports were assembled from
the records of thirty-three coun-
ties in which 7,441 workers were
placed and, brought to 52,500 the
number of workers placed in pri-
vate industry and public works'

“Where Railroads and
Cottonfields Meet"
ed his ability after the war as
High Commissioner to Egypt and
during his term showed himself
a statesman as well as a, brilliant
soldier.
Allenby returned to England from
Egypt and since then had taken
little part of public life except on
state occasions. He cherished the
honor of gold-stick-in-waiting,
which entitled him to walk close
beside the King.
His picturesque title came from
the gold-headed staff first present-
ed by King Charles I to the cap-
tain of his life guards in waiting
in 1679.
For one year—1925-1926—he held
the position cf captain of Dover
Castle, but resigned, saying:
“There was nothing between us
and all the winds that blow ex-
cept Cologne Cathedral, and that
was not very effective. The authori-
ties refused to stop the draft or
install central heating, so I pack-
ed up.”
Since then he and Lady Allenby
had lived in a quiet house in the
South Kensington district of Lon-
don, where he spent most of his
time attending to collection of
birds'. Music and the theater was
his other interests.
The title passes to his nephew,
Dudley Jaffray Hynman Allenby,
an officer in the Eleventh Hussars.
Allenby’s son, Horace Michael Hyn-
man, was killed in France during
the World War.
Philadelphia, Pa., May 15.—Paul-
ine Lane, 16-year-old Knoxville,
Tenn., girl, who came to Philadel-
phia to have a cigarette lighter
top removed from her lung, died
Wednesday.
Temple University Hospital issued
tthis statement:
“Following the swallowing of the
foreign body, an abscess had de-
veloped in the lung. A large blood
vessel became ulcerated and a
sudden, profuse hemorrhage re-
sulted early Wednesday morning.
“Previous to this unfortunate
complication the patient was in
good condition, happy and cheer-
ful and talking as usual tea-the
nurses that night.
“No operation had been per-
formed in the hospital because of
the abscess.”
The metal lighter cap had been
lodged in the girl’s lung 13 days'
when she reached Philadelphia last
Thursday. It slid down her wind-
pipe April 24 as she laughed while
holding it between her teeth.
When two operations in Knox-
ville failed to remove it her phy-
sician, Dr. Reese Patterson, brought
her to the clinic of Dr. Chevalier
Jackson, inventor of the perfected
bronchoscope.
Twa Red Cross first aid sta-
tions will be established in
Ellis county on Highway 75, one
south and one north of Ennis,
following a survey made by
Chairman A. Dupree Davis and
J. E. Keever, committee named
for the selection of the loca-
tion.
Tentative arrangements have
been made for locating the sta-
tions, at the McConics Filling
Station at Alma and the Smith
f illing Station at Trumbull.
The need for these highway
emergencies was realized since
statistics revealed a large num-
ber of accidents on this high-
way the past year with several
fatalities.
These highway stations, the lat-
est exemplifications' of peace-time
work of the American Red Cross,
will be established at a cost of
about $25 each. This will include
a first aid kit, half ring splint for
leg fractures and a directory list-
ing the names of physicians, hos-
pitals and ambulance service in
this vicinity.
The initial cost and the expendi-
tures necessary to keep the station
in operation throughout the year
will be borne by the Ennis chap-
ter. This cost was estimated at
approximately $10 per year.
Georgia Pastor
Took Own Life
Brunswick, Ga., May 15.—Rev.
Thomas W. Simpson, 49, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church of
Brunswick, was found' shot to death
in the attic of his home here
Thursday, a shotgun and a knife at
his side.
Physicians said Rev. Mr. Simp-
son, whose wife died here last
July, suffered a nervous break-
down a month ago.
Rev. Mr. Simpson was moder-
ator of the Georgia Synod cf the
Presbyterian Church last year.
Atlanta, Ga., May 15.—Wisecrack-
ing Thomas H. Robinson, Jr., kid-
naper of Mrs. Alice Speed Stoll, be-
gan a, life sentence at the Atlanta
Federal penitentiary Thursday, a
dead man as far as his 6-year-old
son is concerned.
The lone wolf of the $50,000 ab-
duction was delivered in midmorn-
ing by department of justice agents
after an overnight ride from
Louisville, Ky. While Robinson went
through the routine of dressing
in, relatives at Nashville, Tenn.,
said knowledge of his whereabouts
were carefully kept from his boy,
Jimmy.”
“He thinks his father is dead,”
Mrs. N. L. Althauser, his grand-
mother, said. “It is best that he
continue believing that, at least un-
til he is old enough to understand
the whole thing in the right way.”
Antlers, Okla., May 15.—A foem
youth abducted by two fleeing c |
victs from the Oklahoma peniten-
tiary escaped from the desperadoes
today shortly after two other fugi-
tives were captured and their three
hostages liberated.
“The boy identified the con-
victs by pictures as Claude Beavers
and Claude Pugh,” said Sheriff
John Helm. Beavers is the reputed
break ringleader.
Two cringing convicts, Bill An-
derson, 30, serving a twenty-seven
year robbery sentence, from Panto-
toe county, and Archie Herring,
25, doing ten years for a Garvin
county robbery, were captured with
out resistance by a heavily armed
posse near here early today. . 7
Shortly afterward possemen
found Tuck Cope and Victor Conn,
prison guards, and Wilburn Doaks,
a Kiamichi cowboy, at a farm-
house close bv.
Thursday night at the Presbyte-
rian Church, Dr. N. B. Harrison of
Minneapolis, spoke on “Present
World Conditions in the Light of
Prophecy.”
Dr. Harrison prefaced his re-
marks by speaking of the inability
of men to accurately foretell com-
ing events. But God, the Holy
Spirit, told in times past, through
men, many things that have passed,
and many that are literally being
fulfilled in our own time. Chris-
tians should know God’s word, and
discern the signs of the times as
they read their daily paper. Proph-
ets of Old 'Testament saw both
the coming of the Lord Jesus,
which is now past, and that which
is to come. But the mystery of
the church age intervening be-
tween these two events, was hid-
den from their view. Christ him-
self, a prophet priest and king,
looked down the years to His sec-
ond advent, and has told men how
they may know that the time
cases of permanent injury had re-
sulted from highway accidents that
could have been avoided. had the
proper first aid been given. She
stated that in some intances the
injured would be picked up and
rushed in a car to a hospital with
broken bones, or serious cuts and
were left permanently injured when
if given first aid and proper hand-
ling the patient would have been
well again.
To sum it all up the Red Cross
is returning the Good Samaritan
to the road in the guise of the
highly trained first aider. Figures
on fatalities here and all over the
country show all too plainly that
we are up against a problem far
more serious than many of us had
realized.
J. D Robertson of the Commu-
nity Natural Gas Company, has
offered his services to conduct free
first aid classes for employees of
the establishments where the sta-
tions are located. Mr. Roberts'on re-
ceived his training in first aid at
Texas A. & M. College, College
Station.
As soon as the training is com-
pleted the stations will be officially
designated by the national head-
quarters office and a Red Cross
sign erected.
On another page in this paper
appears a picture of the Tyler
Red Cross station, the first to be
established in Texas. There are at
this time 151 designated first aid
stations in Texas and others have
made tentative arrangements for
first aid stations.
Ethiopia and desire only peace
but are ready to defend their
conquest .of the African nation
“with all courage and all force.”
Mussolini added, Le Matin
said:
“We realize there are enormous
criticisms of, the methods we
used in Ethiopia to assure the
necessary expansion of) our
people.
“But what have other coun-
tries done through the cen-
turies? There never has been
more than one way for a na-
tion to impose itself and its
will on backward peoples—by
force.”
draws near. God has a definite
program, and it is' ours to know,
through the study of His Word that
Jesus came, died and rose again
are prophecies fulfilled and Chris-
tians today are to watch for His
coming again.
A few of the many facts Dr.
Harrison pointed out follows: In
Lan. 12:4, clearly we see the hapid
growth in two decades in trans-
portation and education- foretold
as we ourselves have seen them,
"men running to and fro,” with
today in U. S. enough automobiles
to transport every man and wo-
man at the same moment. Increase
in knowledge is too obvious to men-
tion.
I Timothy 4:1 is literally going
on today, so that even many min-
isters of Gpd’s word are “speaking,
lies in hyporocy" not holding to
the truth. As an illustration Dr.
Harrison spoke of a gathering of
ministers, to whom was read state-
ments of belief, to which they all
gave assent. It was' revealed that
they had listened and assented to
views of Voltaire. Danger is not
in that such things are said, but
that we as Christians assent to it.
Dr. Harrison thinks Matt. 24:6
indicates just how such an event
as the World War, when twenty-
seven nations rose against each
other and there were forty-five
declarations of war. The only good
■ resulting was the releasing of Pal-
estine for the Jews. This also was
a part of God’s program, for it
came as the price. A Jewish scient-
ist asked Great Britain for a war
essential he had discovered.
When Gen. Allenby marched on
Jerusalem the airplanes, droning
above the city, so frightened the
Turks that they peacefully turned
the city over to the British. Read
Isaiah 31:5. Spoken 2,700 years be-
fore it was literally fulfilled.
Though Jerusalem has been and
still is, trodden down “of the Gen-
tiles,” today God’s program sees
them again taking possession of
their land, which is again in God’s
plan, yielding her increase after
fallow years. It is said that the
Dead Sea holds great wealth,
which will, no doubt, be used to
restore the Holy Land.
Before Christ comes again the
anti,-Christ must come, and that
“man of sin” be revealed. The Ro-
man Empire must be renewed.
