COLORADO FLOOD SHOULD
NOT STOP CONTROL WORK
Floods on the lower Colorado river below Buchanan
dam were unfortunate for more reasons than the dam-
age to crops and property. As badly as the state needs
flood control, the Colorado flood may set it back for
many years. People may become fearful of having rivers
dammed to protect them from flood waters, believing
that recurrence of the recent Colorado incident is pos-
sible. Already we find a difference of opinion being
expressed by engineers as to the probable reason for
the floods and whether the dams protect adequately.
Texas needs more flood control. There can be no
doubt about it. This year happens to have brought
an unfortunate example. Not only should there be
flood control but water conservation. Whatever
the technical needs to bring this about it is cer-
tain that they can be surmounted.
The point to be made clear is that flood control and
water conservation should not be given a black-eye be-
cause of what happened at Buchanan Dam. Man is
not all-powerful over natural forces but history is dot-
ted with his ability to cope with them. At times there
may be conditions beyond his control but that shouldn't
stop him.

CORRIGAN ENGLISH A i
NEW POSSIBILITY
Maybe Corrigan started something else. His "back-
ward" flight to Ireland may have started a new vogue
in handling writing, printing and possibly speaking.
The number of references to his flight made in re-
verse writing have been notable. Instead of reading
from left to right- the opposite has been used. The re-
sult has been unique even though over-working the
optics and requiring extra concentration of the mind.
We expect the new approach to "Corrigan-wise"
language will find itself in something like that dog-
gerel speech, called for lack of better name, "Hog-
Latin." There may be ample reason for doing this
because Corrigan has certainly performed in a
"backward" manner. Offered all the opportunities
to cash in on his flight by entering the entertain-
ment world, he asks for a job in aviation. He does
not want the glitter of quickly made riches and
apparently did not fly "backwards" to fill his pock-
ets.
For a summer season heavy with world news ting-
ed with war and with political steam spouting in every
direction, Corrigan's exploit has been a healthy diver-
sion.

BV RODNEY DUTCHEK
WASHINGTON — Echoes
of the celebrated Madison
oil trial, what with various
oil companies and executives
just fined after anti-trust
conviction months ago, oth-
ers being granted a new
trial and still others facing
a grand jury on separate
charges, recall to defense,
and government lawyers the
headaches of that first
trial.
In May, fourteen defend-
ant companies and eleven
oil executives of another
group awaiting trial pleaded
nolo, electing to pay $400,-
000 in fines and costs. Pro-
fiting from the first trial's
lessons, they didn't want to
spend a few months in Madi-
son at great expense. They
didn't like Wisconsin juries
and an adverse decision was
likely. Cost of lawyers alone
would have been more than
fines. Other defendants elect-
ed to fight.
At least 80 lawyers served
the defense in the first trial.
The jurors, kept four months
from their families except
at Christmas, were more ir-
rate than the defendants,
thanks to constant bickering
as to whether they should
go to the movies or play
pinochle. They had to take
recreation in a body.
The oil men had a press-
agent who handed them a
manual on how to act. They
were asked to go to church
and avoid drinking in public.
The manual was suppressed.
Dr. Glenn Frank invited the
defendants to a cocktail par-
ty which was suppressed too.
Numerous veterans of the
first trial still threaten to
write a hilarious book.
The new deal has an Ed-
mund Burke. You may hear
more of him. He is no des-
cendant of the great Brit-
ish orator, but he has been
sent to New York by SEC
to handle new Chandler act
covering corporate reorgani-
zations. A young Harvard
law graduate, Burke had
much to do with writing the
Chandler act and explaining
it to Congress.
"Tomayto" Queen
Only White House visitor
to cause a flurry since the
President left was Miss Peg-
gy Walsh, the "Tomato
Queen" from Indiana. She is
IS, and her name isn't Peg-
gy Walsh, but the big to-
mato canner who had her in
charge wouldn't let her tell
her real name. The Queen
had a bushel of tomatoes
for Mr. Roosevelt, but these
were turned over to Bill Has-
sett, assistant to Secretary
Steve Early and highest
ranking White House occu-
pant at the time.
Interviewers learned from
Peggy it's pronounced "to-
mayto" and the reason it's
a fruit instead of a vege-
table is because "it's a love
apple." Peggy is a hand-
some girl.
Too Boisterous
don't know why the senator*
Even most congressmen
have a double-track mono-
rail car service to tako them
underground from theiv of--
fices to the Senate chamber,
whereas members of the
House have to walk.
A guard says there used
to be a tramway on the
House side, too. But the boy-
ish enthusiasm of represen-
tatives who crowded it be-
yond its gunwales resulted
in so many cars breaking
down service had to be aban-
doned.
It's Puzzle
The Treasury Department
has a colored messenger
named Wonderful Anthony
and he is a man of parts.
Wonderful is a master pen-
man and an able cartoonist.
Once he made a living draw-
ing a comic strip called "Ag-
gravatin' Papa" for a Negro
newspaper.
"I was named 'Wonderful'
by my father," says Anth-
ony, shaking his head. "I
don't know why he did it."

Girl's Slayer
Pleads Guilty
! .PRYOR, Okla. —(UP)—Gang-
ling red-headed Wirt Parr, a
110-year-old farm boy, pleaded
| guilty in justice court late yes-
i lerdav to the slaying of a neigh-
| boi girl.
\ Parr had signed a confession
! that he clubbed and strangled
' he girl, Alva Manning, 10. He
i burned her body in a brush
pile, according to the confession.
| lie told County Attorney H. A.
| Kehn that he had been seized by
a desire to attack her.
Parr was kept in jail at Cla-
remore over the weekend after
mob violence threatened at Lo-
cust Grove, the village near his
home. He was bound over for
trial in district court after waiv-
ing preliminary hearing.

Compress To Build
Two Warehouses
Three permits were issued for
| construction of buildings in
Sweetwater Monday.
Two of the permits were is-
sued to the Western Compress
and Storage company for erec-
tion of two warehouses at a
cost of $1000 each to be located
facing south at 704 and 710 Ala-
mo street.
The other permit issued to T.

'Goodwill' Picture
Stresses Important
Points of Selling
A. B. Crowder, manager of the
Coca Cola Bottling company, has
received from his company a
film depicting the salient points
of good salesmanship, which
Mr. Crowder and others who
have previewed the picture say
ties up well with the National
Salemen's Crusade, now in pro-
gress in Sweetwater.
Mr. Crowder hopes to be able
to show the "goodwill" film
at a gathering of Sweetwater
business and professional men
and women, for it is believed the
points stressed in the short fea-
ture will be invaluable in the
sales event now being observed.
Characters featured in the
film are a father, his son who has
just completed college, the boy's
uncle, who is an average grocery-
man in an average American
town, another salesman in the
store, a beautiful girl, and sever-
al customers of the store.
Upon the son's completion of
college, the father calls in his
boy and informs him he would
like for his boy to get some prac-
tical experience to go with the
scientific training he has receiv-
ed at college. He sends his son
to work for his uncle, the gro-
cer, who has no college exper-
ience, but plenty of "selling ex
perience."
"Regardless of what vocation
or profession we follow", the
father tells the son, "We are all
engaged in the game of selling.
And regardless of what we are
selling, the 'human side" is the
major factor in successful sell-!
ing."
Under the tutelage of the
boy's uncle, the youth finds
these four points play an im-
portant factor in successful sell-
ing:
1. Be friendly.
2. Sell the customer's needs.
3. Don't argue.
4. Give extra service.
In a unique and convincing
manner the film shown by Mr.
Crowder unfolds the story of suc-
cessful selling.

"Conservation
Week' In Texas
ABILENE — The West Tex-
as Chamber of Commerce soil
and water utilization contest,
launched June 15, is one of the
features of Texas Soil and Wat-
er Conservation Week, August
7-13. The week was set aside for
statewide observance in a pro-
clamation by Governor Allred.
With its soil and water contest,
sponsored to stimulate and pro-
mote more and better conserva-
tion work and already entered by
05 West Texas counties, the
WTCC is considered one of the
leading agencies in the state for
advancing soil and water conser-
vation work. For several years
the regional organization has
been promoting conservation and
advocating passage of state con-
servation legislation.
"Records show that for ten
years West Texas has led the
Southwest in conservation acti-
vities", says Clifford B. Jones,
Spur, chairman of the WTCC ag-
ricultural board. "The fine inter-
est shown by West Texans in
the soil and water utilization
contest sponsored by our orga-
nization is most gratifying.
Through the entrance of some
sixty-five counties, fifty million
acres of West Texas land alrea-
dy are destined to receive scien-
tific treatment through a contest
which was calculated to stimu-
late all modern, standard con-
servation practices for both farm
and ranch lands. We are glad
that Texas has become con-
scious of the dire necessity of
perpetuating our soil and water
resources, and the West Texas
Chamber of Commerce is happy
to participate in the Texas Soil
and Water Conservation Week."
