Ame:-g the Ennis women who
contribute much to the advance-
ment of the city are the numerous
stenographers. Sometimes failure of
the bosses to enunciate distinctly
causes the stems to make amusing
errors, but none probably occurred
more naturally than the following
example. The unknown boss dic-
tated the poem as it appears first,
but the stenographer copied it as
it appears in the second version.

One day, when Neely’s candi-

committee, Holt suddenly “lifted
his finger”—that is, indicated his
approval of the Neely men.
When the committee broke up,
he encountered Senator Neely at
the door. “Is that satisfactory to
you, Senator,” said Holt, and Neely
said it was.
That was all. After that, they

Military Jealousy.
The same jealousy exists between
the British air force and the navy
which one existed between U. S.
armed services. For instance, the
Royal Air Force limits the number
of planes to be carried cn airplane
' carriers (even though they come
under the navy), and failed to re-
place those destroyed during nor-
mal pre-war operations. Result was
that the plane carriers operating-
off Norway were short of planes.
According to U. S. military ex-
perts, all this is an cutgrowth of
the inertia and caste system of
the British army. Officers get their
rank through birth and social po-
sition, not ability. There is more
emphasis on tradition than effic-
iency. “If it was good enough for
my father it is good enough for
me,” has been the watchword of
the British military (perhaps also
of the Chamberlain cabinet).
Leslie Hore-Belisha started to
root out some of those evils, but
did not go nearly far enuogh. He
only irritated the military nobility,
without getting at the real weak-
nesses.

also has Freeport Sulphur, a Mel-

So it will be extremely inter-

tween them. State laws go much
further than federal laws—if en-
forced.

About one out of seven persons
tried in the city cour‘ are women,
according to Sam ces, chi2 of
police.
Disturbins che peace is the most
frequent offense of women, with
drunkenness, traffic violations, and
shop lifting next, in the order
named. Women prisoners are usu-
ally very agreable and much easier
to manage than the men, Mr.
Estes stated.
Mr. Estes' estimate includes both

iana is in for more trouble. For
one of the chief leaders among
those who supported Governor Sam
Houston Jones, and who will sit
on the platform with him today, is
being investigated for income tax
evasion. He received certain funds
from an oil company and forgot
to chalk it up to income tax.
This was in 1936, so the statute
of limitations may have run out.
But it has not run - out on mail
frauds, and the federal government,
to be consistent, may have to pros-
ecute.
Simultaneously, Governor Jones
faces some severe tests. The whole
United States is keeping an eye on
him, especially certain Washington
officials who helped pave the way
for his election.
Real fact is that the justice de-
partment skimmed the cream in
cleaning up Louisiana. It took the
cases which fell under federal laws.

military obserrers and cabled back
to Washington.
This information describes inef-
ficiency, stupidity and lack of co-
ordination almost beyond belief.
Also it reveals that Hcre-Belisha,
deposed war minister of the Cham-
berlain cabinet, was absolutely right
in advoceting reorganization of the
army
। Here arc some of the unbeliev-
able boners pulled by the British
army in Norway.
1. When the British landed at
Andalsnes, they put ashore 460-
anti-tank guns, but not a single
round of ammunition for them. The
ammuniticn was down in the hold
of another ship.
In short, the British have not
yet remedied the mistake made in
the Beer War (1899). They learn-
then that a landing party goes
ashore, it must be equipped with
everything it needs, ready to go
into action the minute it sets footi
on land.
The U. S. Army made the same
mistake in the Spanish-American
i war, but has remedied it since. The
British, however, dumped their
goods on the shore in Norway,
then proceeded to sort them cut
and distribute them.
Cut to Ribbons.
2. When the British landed two
battalions at Namsos, they were
without a single anti-tank or anti-
aircraft gun. Yet their commanders
knew they had to face German
forces equipped with the latest
tanks and supported by airplanes.
As a result, the British were cut
to pieces. One battalion lost 45 per
cent of its men, the other 30 per
cent.
3. There was absolutely no co-
i ordination between British land
and air forces. The Royal Air Force
is completely independent of the
army and navy. This means that
today, if a British army command-
er in France wants more air sup-
port, he has to telegraph back to
London, which then gives orders to
the air force. And what does a pun-
dit sitting at a desk in London
know about actual needs in the
front line trenches?
In contrast, the German com-
mander, General Von Falkenhorst,
was in complete ccmmand of
German naval, air and army units.
He was also- in command of com-
