HEALTH NOTES
Austin, Texas.—In speaking
about epidemics, Dr. John W.
Brown, State Health Officer, stat-
ed that if doctors, nurses, house-
holders, and others would report
the occurrence of any communicable
disease immediately to the local
health officer, that many epidemics
could be prevented or greatly cur-
tailed.
The control of preventable di-
seases depends upon the perfect re-
porting of all cases. It is necessary
to secure information ns to when
and where cases occur before the
proper steps for the control of
these cases can be taken. Every epi-
demic starts with one case and the
doctors engaged in protecting the
public health are interested in lo-
cating this first case to prevent
its spread to others.
Some of the contagious diseases
are quarantinable. This is not done
to punish the persons involved for
having the disease, but to protect
the well. The quarantine sign is
not a disgrace but a badge of good
citizenship, as it shows that house-
hold is trying to protect others
from contracting a contagious di-
sease.

NOBODY'S
BUSINESS
By JULIAN CAPERS, Jr,
Austin.—An optimistic forecast
for the re-election of the Roose-
velt-Garner ticket to a second term
in the White House was brought
to Austin by Clinton B. Eilenberger,
third assistant postmaster general,
and Karl Crowley, of Fort Worth,
solicitor general of the department,
as they stopped off here en route
to Gonzales to attend the opening
sale of Texas Centennial stamps.
Eilenberger, a Pennsylvania!),
prophesied the Keystone State
would go Democratic by 150,000 in
November. Crowley said assurances
from Texans who ought to know
promised Texas would deliver a
five to one vote, at least, for
Roosevelt and Garner.

"Trader" Allred
As the smoke of skirmishing be-
tween the state and national Demo-
cratic organizations cleared away
this week, political observers here
credited Gov. Allred with another
masterly bit of political strategy
which has apparently won him the
best spot on the national convention
program—that of nominating his
fellow-Texan, John Garner, for re-
election to the vice presidency.
These observers pointed out that
Allred, rumored as a candidate
some months ago against Sen. Mor-
ris Sheppard, let the rumor float
about until he obtained certain
things he wanted in Washington,
then gracefully let it be known he
wouldn’t oppose Sheppard. He never
intended to, insiders say, but he
didn’t mind trading on the rumor;
and the result is Allred has made
a fast friend out of Sheppard. Then,
by letting the rumor that he want-
ed to head the Texas delegation to
Philadelphia circulate over the
state, he got Sen. Tom Connally
rather excited, and as a result, Vice
President Garner slipped Allred the
fine spot of nominating Garner at
the Philadelphia circus, to keep the
peace, “bimmy didn’t have any-
thing worth mentioning to trade
with in either case,” remarked one
Austin political student, "but he
out-swapped Morris Sheppard and
Tom Connally—and neither of
them is a chump. I’m glad Allred
chose politic? instead of poker as
an avocation—I play poker my-
self.”

County Judges Get Action
A favorable (report from the
house ways and means committee
in the national congress on an ap-
propriation bill, which carried a
provision for $125,000,000 for fed-
eral contribution on a matching
basis to state highway programs
marked a victory for the Texas As-
sociation of County Judges and
Commissioners. Headed by Judge
Garrett of Eastland, the associa-
tion’s committee, following its Dal-
las meeting, went to Washington
and urged restoration of the road
appropriation, threatened with
omission this year in the presi-
dent’s budget message. They ap-
pealed directly to Congressman
Cannon of Missouri, sitting for
Chairman Buchanan of Texas. The
committee’s action presages pas-
sage, and if so, Texas will receive
about $7,500,001)—its regular ap-

Oil Industry Hopeful
Four hundred oil men, gathering
at Wichita Falls for the annual
meeting of the North Texas Oil and
Gas association, hleard optimistic
reports of the state of their indus-
try last weekend from Jake Hamon
Jr., president of the Texas division
of Midcontinent Oil and Gas asso-
ciation; Charlie Roeser, president
of the Independent Petroleum asso-
ciation; Sen. Clint Small, Asst.
Atty. Gen. Dick Holt and Col.
Ernest O. Thompson, chairman of

pressed hope of an early increase
to a basic price of $1.60 for 36

Why Gulf is the Gas for March ^
,
MARCH MEANS WINDS to most folks.
But March brings higher temperatures,
too. Average temperatures are up 5 to
13 degrees over February. If a gasoline
isn’t made to suit the season, you don't
get the best mileage. Try That Good
Gulf—it’s refined to give you top mile-
age now. Because Gulf is “Kept in Step
with the Calendar,” all of it goes to work
,.. none of it goes to waste!
THIS WEEK j
IN PALACIOS HISTORY
FROM OUR EARLY FILES
15 YEARS AGO
A Colonial Tea was held at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. P. F. Camp-
bell, at which a literary curiosity
composed by Mrs. M. M Miller was
read It contained the hidden names
of many Palacios citizens taken
from the files of the Beacon.
The “Merry Rondoliers” was the
third number of a series of enter-
tainment presented in our City by
the Dixie Lyceum Bureau of Dal-
las, for the benefit of the Boy
Scouts.
James Clark died at his home in
this city, aged 68 years. He was
born in Edinburg Scotland, and
brought to Port Lavaca when six
months old.
R. J. Redman, died at his home
here and was buried in the Pala-
cios cemetery.
The Beacon carried thiee sheriff
sales for Matagorda County real
urged oil men to oppose further
taxation of their business, while
Small pointed to the increasing ef-
fect of the oil business upon bank-
ing and general business in Texas.
Col. Thompson declared experience
had convinced the railroad commis-
sion of the wisdom of restricting
production to the approximate
market demand, and pointed to the
progress which has been made in
recent months, since the commis-
sion was given additional person-
nel, in the matter of regulation of
production.

Mystery Man Hunter
Tom Hunter, twice unsuccessful
candidate for governor, paid Austin
a visit last week, and continued to
maintain his Coolidge-like reticence
about his political plans when re-
porters questioned him. He did de-
clare emphatically he wasn’t run-
ning for railroad commissioner, as
widely rumored, and indicated if he
ran at all he would join the gober-
national sweepstakes. But he
wouldn’t say whether he will or he
won’t, and even his closest friends
refused to hazard as guess as to his
intentions.

San Antonio was regarded as the
most likely site of the state Demo-
cratic convention, May 26, with the
announcement that Dallas has with-
diawn its strong bid.

Boston publishers who tried to
copyright the “Eyes of Texas,”
battle hymn of the university for
two generations, poured oil on
troubled waters by withdrawing all
claim upon the sacred ballad, and
leaving it the property of the uni-
versity and the people of the state.

10 YEARS AGO
The annual banquet of the Pala-
cios Chamber of Commerce *was
held at Hotel Palacios, with about
60 members and guests in attend-
ance. The officers for the ensuing
year were: D. M. Green, president;
Rev. G. F. Gillespie 1st vice presi-
dent; R. J. Sisson, 2nd vice-presi-
dent; J. B. Feather, secretary; J.
L. Deutsch, treasurer
Funeral services were held at
the Methodist Church for G. W.
Stanford who died at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. R. W. Callaway
in San Antonio, conducted by Rev.
Chas. Doak.
The Winsett Evangelistic Party
of Abilene, Texas, was engaged in
a revival at the First Baptist
church.
Some one said a lot when he said:
“One way to achieve success is to
avoid excess.”
“Cpme on, Johnny, These little
pigs won’t hurt you.”
“Oh, yes they will! Just a few
minutes ago I saw ’em chase that
big one, knock her down and start
to chew her vest buttons off.”
Rox Fieldhouse, advertisement
manager of ‘The Scotsman’, (Edin-
burgh, Scotland) says:
“In a small way, we are all ‘beat-
ing a drum’ of some kind, either by
attracting attention to ourselves
or our wares. Some bent harder
than others and, in many cases, to
little purpose. It is the motive be-
hind the beating that really mat-
ters.
“Advertisement managers often
find themselves in the unhappy
position of having to muffle the ad-
vertiser’s drum, and in some cases
to refuse his advertising. The well
managed newspaper of today is
very anxious to protect its readers
by avoiding the publication of uny
announcement which would tend to
mislead.
“Most of the troubles of this
world are caused by misguided mi-
norities, who bang away at a tre-
mendously big drum of their own
making and purposely turn a deaf
ear to any appeal which is not in
accordance with their own advanced
and selfish views.
“Another drum which is beating
big and strong at the present
moment is the race by national
newspapers for large and unwieldy
circulations. After several years in
Fleet Street, spent in the midst of
‘this wild and somewhat insane at-
mosphere’, I cannot but feel that
this system of bribery, established
in order to gain readers, is against
the best traditions of the Press. A
newspaper’s aim should be to col-
lect and disseminate news without
unduly accentuating the rotten and
sordid side of life. But, unfortun-
ately, those journals which are to-
day fighting for huge circulations
seem to forget this main object of
their existence, and seek constantly
to excite the public into purchasing
and not necessarily reading. If a
newspaper is worth reading, it
should not be necessary to give
something away with it, and once
a reader has been gained by the
extra inducement of something for
nothing, he or she would look for
more and more until, finally, the
paper with the most extravagant
offer collared the so-called reader.
Advertising agents whose work it
is to advise manufacturers and
place advertising on behalf of their
clients do not, I am glad to say,
place much value on stunt circula-
tion methods.
“Let the drums with a good mo-
tive behind them continue to beat
long and loud. And the others—the
sooner they are muffled the better!"
