talked frontiers here.
“Frontiers now are not physi-

buckled a knapsack on his back
and went out with ax and gun
after conquest and by physical
force took what he wanted.
“Today our conquest is by the
ingenuity of man. He must match
his brain on the frontier of sci-
ence and commerce, like men in
other times matched brawn with
wild life.
“We have to look beyond the
horizon. Our minds must always
be active and alert- to pick out
the things ahead of what we
can see. If we can do that we
can be successful."

"I always try to arrange my

DALLAS, May 30.— British and
American delegates to the Inter-
national converfion of Rotary
clashed today over the question of
British economy and American ex-
pansion of Rotary when the reso-
lution to reduce the annual per
capita tax from *4.60 to *4.00
was presented by efie resolutions
committee.
After considerable argument
the convention rejected the reso-
lution to lower the tax.
The convention also rejected
the resolution offered by the del-
egation from Great Britain and
Ireland, proposing to abolish the
second part of the Rotary motto,
"He profist most who serves best"
There was little debate on this
resolution, however.
The tax reduction proposal was
offered' by the club from Newcas-
tle-on-Tyne, with Hugh Galloway,
manufacturer of nails, speaking
in its favor.
Galloway criticized the conduct
of the business affairs of Rotary
International, charging that mon-
ey was being spent too fast.
Fort Worth’s building activity
for May continued toward an-
other record for the year Thurs-
day with the issuance of permits
aggregating *102,740, sending
the total to date well over *1,-

Chief of the permits issued by
Permit Clerk Darby was to 'the
