AIDS POOR BRIDEGROOMS
Every spring the administrator
of the Poydras estate of $30,000 at
Port Alien, La., divides cash dow-
ries among all brides in tin county
married during the year. This year
19 such brides received checks for
a little over $100 each. More than
100 years ago Jullen Poydras, pen-
niless Frenchman, was forbidden to
marry the girl of his choice because
her parents did not want a poverty-
stricken son-in-law. Later, he be-
came wealthy but never married.
At his death, his will provided for
a trust fund of $30,000 whose earn-
ings were to be divided as dowries
to all brides of the county with the
stipulation that this money be turn-
ed over to their husbands after
marriage to prevent their .suffering
the experience he had gone thru
in his youth. «

DO BE CAREFUL
Despite all efforts to safeguard
persons and property, highway ac-
cidents continue to occur, according
to Lynn B. Shaw, general manager
of the Texas Motor Transportation
Association, who Is advocating the
organization of community safety
units as the most effective method
of securing true cooperation In a
practical program of remedies.
Scientifically safe driving falls
into some such catagories as: speed
and accuracy with which drivers
are capable of perceiving motoring
situations; speed and accuracy of
mental reactions; speed, accuracy
and reliability with which we res-
pond.
"Strictly speaking, an accident Is
an unforeseen or unavoidable hap-
pening," Shaw declared. "If some
part of the mechanism of a motor
vehicle suddenly breaks for no ap-
parent reason, the mishap which
follows can be rightly called an
accident. If a defect suddenly deve-
lops in a portion of a highway over
which a vehicle is passing, this, too,
can be correctly charged to accident.
But many of the collisions that
take place on Texas highways are
due to causes other than accidental
and can be easily avoided.
"To be specific, all collisions that
result from a disregard of the
rights of others can be avoided.
Among these are violations of the
right-of-way, cutting out of line,
passing on unlined hilltops, failing
to slow down upon approaching a
pedestrian on the highway. Some
pedestrians are guilty of contribut-
ing to highway collisions. Prudent
motorists are often forced to jeo-
pardize their own safety to avoid
striking pedestrians v.ho suddenly
decide to dash madly onto the high-
way or who carelessly walk from
between parked cars. ~
The Texas Motor Transportation
Association will hold its seventh
annual convention at Hotel Adol-
phus, in Dallas, for three days be-
ginning May 22, it has been an-
nounced by Henry English, past
president of the Association and
general chairman of arrangements. a
The av; rage child asks questions
and the average child doesn't wait

COLORFUL CAUSEY IIILL
Nellie Witt Spikes reminisces in the
Floyd County Hesperian:
"Causey Hill lay in the winter's
sunshine as we went to Lubbock
the other day. The put-put-put of
a motor came on the cool wind. A
white house nestled in trees on the
south side of the only hill in these
parts ol the plains. Jersey cattle
nipped the green wheat in fenced
pastures and fields. Two white
horses sunned themselves lazily as
they stood on three feet. The smell

Piercing eyes looked over the prair-
ies for the buffalo, keen ears lis-
tened as the wagon creaked and
the harness clinked. Mild excite-
ment was in the minds of the older
men, while the younger men were
showing their eagerness. Soon the
boming of the big guns would send
the heards of buffalo running
thunder on the prairies, the sharp
knives would flash over the brown
wooly hides and shine like a silver
dagger in the sun. Naked carcasses
would be left, still and cold, as man
took his leave with his furry boun-
ty. Hungry coyotes and lean prowl-
ing loafer wolves would tear and
gnaw at the grass fattened meat.
Soon bones would looke ghostly

"As we looked in the glimmering
mirage at the foot of the hill, an-

prairie, the big roundup of season
on the outside was taking place at
Causey Hill. The roof was gone from
the dugout the bearded buffalo
hunters had found shelter In, the
same sun shone and the tender
grass of May was beginning to cover
the wide prairies, blackened by the
sweeping wild prairie fires of the
winter. Smoke curled from many
cowchip fires where cooks were fry-
ing beef, making sour dough bread
and boiling Arbuckle coffee in the
huge pot. Six wagons there were
with their chuck box lids let down
on their one leg. tin plates and cups
made silver by the rays of the sun.
Tarpaulin wrapped suggails were
unrolled to dry from a recent rain.
Cattle from miles and miles around
were being driven into the circle
of the roundup grounds, bawling
as the cowboys whooped and sang
out. Fresh horses for the fast rid-
ing men, held up their heads, look-
ed and snorted. Strong men went
to the ground with stronger steers,
