the bill by Rep. Fritz Lanham of
Fort Worth which authorizes the
expenditure of $150,000,000 to pro-

1 which communities can get loans
and grants to construct schools
and other such facilities. After
the measure Is passed, Congress
would have to appropriate the
money out of which the loans-
grants could be made.

AUSTIN, March 7,—When leg-
islators gather over the coffee
cups or to sip something, a little
stronger, they like to tell of the
time a blizzard struck Austin
during a legislative session and
resulted in passage of a law re-
quiring vestibules on street cars.
Something similar happened for
the pending bill to strengthen the
driving license law at this ses-
sion.
Just as a Senate committee had
finished a hearing on the bill and
members were leaving the Cap-
itol, they heard a resounding
series of crashes.

The Education Office’s report,
the result of a long survey made
with the help of state school super-
intendents, is the result of a reso-
lution passed by the Senate last
November, and it has been sent to
the Senate by the War and Navy
Departments.
But it was made public by the
Commissioner of Education John
" W. Studebaker yesterday after- j
noon, as he testified in behalf of
the Lanham bill before the
House Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds of which
the Fort Worth Congressman is
chairman.
The survey showed that in Texas
additional school facilities of one
X tort or another would be needed

Here are the estimates for Tex-
ts’ needs based on the reckoning
that as of September of this year
new or enlarged facilities will be
required for 5497 children on Fed-
t eral reservations, and 17,773 chil-
, dren not on Federal reservations.
The estimates of prospective ex-
penditures for children residing on
Federal reservations:
Abilene cantonment, $12,000;
Fort Bliss, El Paso, $206,500;
Fort Clark, Bracketville, $50,-
305; FortMcIntosh * and air

$41,207; Naval Air Station, Cor-
pus Christi, $96,000; Orange
Shipyards, Orange, $312,000; San
Angelo advanced flying school,
$61,500.
These figures do not include a
total of $28,780 for operation and
maintenance. $72,140 for transpor-
tation, and $180,945 for teachers’
salaries.
A supplemental list showed the
following needs for children also
residing on Federal reservations,
these figures being the result of
an additional survey:
Fort Bliss, three districts In
El Paso County, $94,500; Army
post, Brownsville, $50,000. Like-
wise, these figures do not In-
clude $5500 for operation and
maintenance, $8000 for trans-
portation, all in El Paso County,
and $31,625 for salaries of teach-
ers. .

penditures for children not resid-
ing on Federal reservations follow:

hand axe, flashlight, change of
clothes, army food ration for two
meals, first aid kit, rope, and sim-
iliar articles. The only troop gear

Learn Yourselves, Sales
Expert Tells Kiwanians
Get acquainted with yourself,
your employes and your fellowman
if you want to progress, Perry B.
Armold told the Kiwanis Club at
their luncheon in Hotel Texas yes-
terday.
The head of a Los Angeles sales-
manship school declared that a
person, by studying his own blue-
print and keeping honest with i
himself, could hope for advance- |
ment. He emphasized building
morale within employe groups and
mobilization of this morale Into
efficient business.
"You as Kiwanians need no in-
troduction to the benefits derived
from good fellowship,” he conclud-
ed. “You know by now the har-
vest that may be reaped from this
source.”
“BALLOON" FISH
When cornered by its enemies,
the puff or porcupine fish swells
up like a toy balloon. The air
which it draws into its body in
great gasps acts as a life-preser-
ver and forces the fish to the sur-
face.
