Mr. Kenney considers the delinquency

The tremendous toll of waste was a
detriment to our progress and teachers
should not hesitate to call attention to
this alarming demand upon our re-
sources, a demand that need not be but
for our indifference. He spoke of the
waste of paper, of books, crayons and
other articles used in the public schools
and stated that in one school in Hous-
ton where care had been exercised, it
was found that $2 a day had been
wasted in paper alone in the past.
School gardens were recommended as
an antidote for waste; teach the chil-
dren the beauties and economy of the
garden and not one but will want to
make a garden at home. The waste in
national health was another drain upon
our growth and here the school teacher
could perform splendid service by first'

without it being made tedious.
Mr. Kenney summed up his interest-
ing address with this peroration:
“Every attempt is made to further mu-
tual service and hearty co-operation to
the end that when the boy leaves the
school he will be qualified to readily
adapt himself to home and community

munity in which he is placed.

Delinquent Boy.” Calling attention to
several bills were passed finally by
that body. The bills passed finally are:
_The program of physical training at
Kelly field at San Antonio, Tex., ac-
cording to reports from Chas. C. Hard
of the army Y. M. C. A., former physi-
cal director of the local association,
is a very extensive one. '
Mr. Hard has been placed in charge
of the setting-up exercises for the en-
tire aviation field, and considering that
there are over 18,000 men there at the
present time it is no small job. This
work is compulsory on the part of ev-
ery enlisted man, and the setting-up
drill comes immediately after reveille
every morning of the week, except Sun-
day. •
Mr. Hard, through the colonel of the
camp, had an order issued to all squad-
ron commanders for the appointment
of the best available man in each
squadron of 150 men, to be appointed
physical director, and to report to Mr.
Hard for instruction in these drills.
These physical directors, some 100 of
them, report at the army Y. M. C. A.
building every Monday and Friday, and
drills for the following week are hand-
ed out, and then the men adjourn to
the drill ground and practice for an
hour or so, on this drill. Drills are
changed each week, on Monday, and
the physical director in each squadron
conducts the same.
The balance of the athletic program
is purely voluntary on the part of the
men at the present time, and consists
of baseball teams, basket ball teams,
football teams and trak teams, be-
sides the recreational games of volley
ball, handball, swimming, and boxing
and wrestling instruction and play-
ground ball, which is the indoor base-
ball game played out of doors.
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATIONS.
The squadron physical directors have
all organized athletic associations in
their companies of men, the men have
all subscribed $1 out of- the present
month’s salary, and agreed to pay

The officials who have charge of
the new state "highway department
have been harassed by inquiries as to
just what is meant by the term “chauf-
feur” and 'these inquiries have led to
the ruling by D. E. Colp, the secre-
tary of the commission, in which he
stated that any person who operates an
automobile and receives a salary for
the same regardless of whether the
driving of the automobile is inciden-
tal to his work or not, is classed as a
chauffeur and is required by the new
state law to pay license.
According to this ruling, a city sales-
man who is furnished by his firm with
an automobile as a rapid means of
transit or for convenience, or any trav-
eling man who drives an automobile in
the pursuit of his business, is classed
as a chauffeur and is required to pay
the necessary chauffeur’s license.
Contrary to this ruling, the attorney
general of the state, B. F. Looney, in
response to a request from the South-
western Telephone and Telegraph com-
pany at Dallas, rules that a chauffeur
is a person who “has as his business
the driving of an automobile for gain,
whether he be hired to drive the car or
own the car and operate it for hire.”
He further says that he does not be-
lieve that any person who has the op-
eration of a car as incidental to his
main vocation is subject to the chauf-
feur’s tax. '
These Communications have been re-
ceived by Charles J. Allen, the secretary
of the Galveston Automobile club, in
response to inquiries concerning what
the commission thinks comprises the
word chauffeur. Mr. Allen is frankly
at sea in the matter and does not know
just what steps to take as to the reg-
istration of the local men which was
recently contemplated after the receipt
of Secretary- Colp’s letter. Mr. Allen
has written a letter to Mr. Colp setting
forth the contrasts between the ruling
of the attorney general and tha gen-
tleman and requesting some positive
statement on the matter.
There are a number of men in the
city who will be forced to pay chauf-
feur’s licenses, providing Mr. Colp’s rul-
ing is the correct one, otherwise noth-
ing except the bona fide chauffeurs
who operate an automobile for gain
will be affected. The greater number
of the traveling salesmen and those
who are furnished with automobiles for
their convenient transportation con-
sider that a hardship is being worked
on them, providing the first ruling is
carried through. The men will prob-
ably defer the action as to whether
they will take out license or not until
after Mr. Colp is heard from.

day of efficiency and conservation, he
intimated that the school teacher

likened the average delinquent boy
coming to him unto an automobile on
the roadside at the end of an all-night
joy ride: badly battered, but still hav-
ing the making of a useful machine.
The work of restoration to usefulness
began with a bath, typical of 'the en-
tire cleaning of the boy and this in-
cludes the removing of the impression
from the boy’s mind that everybody is
against him. The value of the boy as
an asset to the nation was stressed,
particularly in this age of conservation.

By Associated Press.
Washington, Sept. 13.—The following
cable from Maj. Grayson M. P. Murphy,
head of the Red Cross commission to
France, has been received by the Red
Cross War council:
“The bureau of reconstruction of
civil affairs of the American Red Cross
in France has a new motto: ‘Housing
follows the plow.’
“In view of the overshadowing im-
portance of augmenting in every pos-
sible way the food supply, the Red
Cross will carry on its first work of
reconstruction in those portions of the
devastated areas which are selected by
the government as the best wheat-
growing regions, and to which the
French government sends its batteries
of tractors for plowing by wholesale.
Representatives of three divisions of
the American Red Cross in France—
planning, engineering, and civil affairs
—returned recently from a study of
conditions in the devastated areas, hav-
ing selected three villages in which
provisional reconstruction work will be
begun within a fortnight.
“Fifty villages were visited. In some,
the destruction of buildings was com-
plete. In-gthers, a portion of the build-
ings can be repaired. Nearly all the
houses are without roofs, without win-
dows and door frame, and with abso-
lutely no furniture or utensils. -
“The Red Cross plans to do provi-
sional reconstruction of dwellings in
several of these villages, and also, as
the refugees return to the villages, to
assist in their economic and social re-
habilitation. In the light of experience
gained in these villages, it plans to un-
dertake provisional reconstruction on a
larger scale. In these particular vil-
lages, the total population before the
war was 3,387. Now it is 235.
“The villages first selected are those
in the best wheat-growing areas, and
the government will plo'w the land
with tractors. The repair of the houses
will permit the return of the refugees
who can do much toward getting the
land sown to wheat this autumn. In
order to encroach as little as possible
on the limited supply of lumber, the
Red Cross is selecting villages in which
the work will be largely that of pro-
visional repair rather than of new con-
struction. It plans to make on the spot
its own brick and lime.”

BILLS INTRODUCED.
In accordance with messages sent to
the legislature yesterday afternoon by
Acting Governor Hobby, bills were to-
day introduced in both branches of the
legislature covering four additional
subjects. Probably the most important
subject transmitted to the lawmakers
for their consideration is the enact-
ment of a bill to provide that the own-
ers of public free school land pur-
chased from the state of Texas after
Jan. 1, 1907, and prior to September 1,
1917, on condition of actual settlement
and residence, which land may here-
after be forfeited for nonpayment of
interest, shall have the right to repur-
chase a complement of sections of such
lands as now provided by law and
leaving a lien and valid constractural
right existing in and to the land so
repurchased. This recommendation
also provides for the creation of a com-
mission to revalue such lands as may
be desired to repurchase under such
act; and providing that the act shall
become effective only as to those who
are bona fide owners and settlers of the
land sought to be repurchased.
The other subjects submitted are:
Enactment of a law to amend Article
tion, and making the law apply to
negro boys up to 17 years of age;

TO INSPECT ROUTES.
An official inspection of the two pro-
posed routes of the San Antonio-Cor-
pus Christi link of the Puget Sound

ing to announcement made by Chair-
man Curtis Hancock of the commis-
sion. The “Sap Route,” the one fa-

they would love to look upon it and
talk about it.
JUDGE STREET TALKS.
Judge Robert G. Street, who for a
number of years has been acting judge
of the juvenil court of Galveston
county, spoke to the institute on mat-
ters related to that tribunal. He gave
a history of the efforts made in he
past to diminish juvenile delinquency;
how an association was formed in 1903
with this end as its purpose, how that
in 1905 the legislature had been peti-
tioned to pass a law creating a juvenile
tribunal, but had declined; how a cam-
paign of education had followed for the
next two years and finally the law had
been passed in 1907 and amended since;
how its best usefulness had probably
been greatly lessened by the law fail-
ing to provide compensation, for the
officers of the court, leaving it to the
charitably disposed of each county to
maintain the court.
After telling of the good work by the
Harris county school for delinquent
boys, and the more recent establishment
of the state school at Gatesville, he ex-
pressed the hope, that at no very dis-
tant day Galveston county, and, in fact,
every other county where there were
any considerable number of juvenile
offenders, would have its own school.
Following Judge Street, Superintend-
ent T. G. Kenney of the Harris County
School for Boys, located at South Hous-
ton, addressed the gathering on “The
