YOUNGBLOOD IS RE-
LEASED. DISCHARGE of Hull Young-
blood has .been ordered by the Court
'fit Criminal Appeals which held that
the joint Legislative committee ex-
ceeded its '"authority when it sentenc
ed the young San. Antonian to twenty
days in Jail for contempt because of
.
'his refusal to give sworn testimony
before the committee which under-
took to investigate a speech made by
Tonngblood in which it was alleged
that he had made reflections upon
"the Integrity of the Legislature. The
decision of the higher court held that
'the committee was not delegated with
authority to hold Mr. Toungblood in
contempt nor to assess punishment
against him and held further that the
jpunlshment of twenty days confine-
ment In jail was in violation of he
r
Constitution which limited imprison-
g ment at any one time- to forty-ight
-
"hours.
3P A few days agp The -Bulletin point-
ful "cd out the utter folly of the attempt
-5 1 in J I A 1 -
ixuaue uy me juiul legislative cummu-
JjJJ" tee to make an example of young
Toungblood- He was undoubtedly in
discreet in his criticism of the legis-
iators as
rabbit twisters" and "bone-
ti heads but his Judgment has been at
ITI least partially sustained by the action
2! tof the Joint committee itself. The
"question now arises has Mr. Young-
"blood any recourse against the com-
mlttee or against the Legislature for
a plain violation of his constitutional
i" rights as a citizen? Can a legislative
Mc .committee summon a citizen to Austin
'ZZ merely because that citizen has criti-
S cIsed or 13 alleged to have criticised
the Legislature and its members; and
ylace him In jail for twenty days In
im violation of the law and the Const!-
.tntion without Incurring the obliga
ftion to make some kind of satisfac
IX tory restitution to such citizen?
g The legislative committee undertook
to humiliate a young man who had
7 rashly criticised his elders. It wasted
a lot of good time violated a citizen's
m. rights and accomplished nothing. The
net results of the whole affair may be
that young Mr. Youngblood may un
dertake to make use of the statewide
notorlety he has gained as a stepping
stone to some public office perhaps
membership in the "bonehead" legis-
lature. Who knows?

The city of Ballinger is laying four-
teen blocks of brick pavement in its
business section at a cost of approx-
imately !112000. The-pavement is
one of the several types "known as
"permanent" and will give service
for a. generation. Ballinger's business
streets are exceptionally wide so that
paving fourteen blocks there is equiv-
alent rto1(paynig about twenty blocks

found In the Brownwood business dis-

THE BATOU BRIDGE.
To The Bulletin:
May I have a few words to say on
the bond Issue for .bridges? First
deal square with the dear people. Do
we ever get any car license money for
the highways? If so I haven't seen
where It was spent Second won't the
3 or 4 cents gasoline tax pay for the
bridge and build a pike road from
Brownwood to the gravel pit? Now
I will admit we need the bridge and
also the road through the bottom but
how would a bridge look with no road
to get to It? Wo will never get any
gasoline tax road money and we will
never vote a bridge bond without a
pike bond but wo will support a bond
issue for $100000 to build the bridge
and the road above high water.
The oil and gasoline tax is all
wrong and will be repealed because
If a man owns a piece of land all he
can get out of It Is his on top of It or
under the bottom of It when he pays
taxes on the land that Is enough.

LIMA Ohio May 8. A 'Woman.-
Haters' Club" has been organized by.
two antl-sheiks at Central High
School here. The club has two mem
bersyoung chaps who disgusted with
girls brazenly allege tfiey are on the
warpath.
Actions of tho members are govern
ed by ah elaborate constitution. "TheJ
bqys are not permitted to speak to
any girl until first addressed. They
cannot make a "date" without nnani-
mous consent .of tho members.
If any Insult is directed toward the
club or any of Its members the club:
laws decree that the offender Bhall be
punished by application of a Bpecial
paddle which occupies a conspicuous
place in the office of "The Mirror"
the school paper issued by the pupils.
"Nix on tho Women!" Is the club's
slogan; also the members' declara-
tion of Independence. Many students
can testify to having received tho pad
dle chastisement. It is reported that
several girls have been spanked
showing the earnestness of the anti-
feminine clique.
The organization has created qulto
a stir among the students especially
the girls. A number of flappers re
taliated by forming a "Man-Haters'
Club.1' The mode of punishment cho
sen by the feminine club members' is
that of "idle chatter" or tattling tin
their victims. This they claim is
more effective than that used by he
boys though not so violent.

A&uraie Picture
of Ocean Bottom
(By Associated Press.)
SAN FRANCISCO May 8. The pre-
cise contour of the Pacific continen-
tal shelf from San Francisco Bay to
Point. Doscanso Mexico revealed here
recently in the publication by the
Hy'drographic Office of the Navy De-j
partment of a bathymetric chart
"shows the floor of the ocean in a de-
tailed way which will enable mariners
hereafter to determine the position of
their craft when landmarks are ob-
structed from view by climatic condi-
tions. The information is based on a recent-
cruise made by the destroyers
Hiil'l and Corry employing the redent-
ly Sonic finder.
The Sonic finder a device which
determines the depth of the ocean by
recording the time required for the
soimd to reach the bottom and re-echo
to -the ship takes a 200Q-foot sound-
in? in less than a' minute supplanting
a method which required six hours.
Originally undertaken atthe request
of the Carnegie Institute to aid In
finding earthquake faults In the Pa-
cific Ocean .the results obtained by
the charting cruise far exceeded the
original purpose according to Lieu-
tenant Lyman K. Swenson of the Na-
vy Department.
Geologists may employ the chart to
trace the extension of oil fields situat
ed on the southern California coast to
submerged prominences in the same
vicinity offshore It is .said.
Elaborating the possibilities of such
a chart Lieutenant Swenson said it
would enable anthropologists to trace
links between continents in order to
reach a determination of the manner
in which animals migrated to coun
tries which are now separated by
aceans.
With the chart as a basis mariners
approaching the California coast could
direct their craft if equipped with the
Sonic finder to any harbor by means
of deductions from the finder inter
preted by the chart navy officers said
The expedition furnished revela
tions regarding the floor of the ocean
off the Pacific coast which show an
.egg-shaped submerged prominence on
the bed of the Pacific Ocean at appoint
