A SPORTS WINDOW.
OUR WOMEN HOMELY?
RUBBER!
TOO BIG FOR THEM.
It was decided to put a
“sports Bay,” a beautiful
window of colored glass, in
the $25,900,000 Protestant
Episcopal Cathedral of St.
John the Divine, in New York,
As originally planned, the
‘Sports Window” for the
Cathedral included a picture
of live birds released from a
trap and shot dead for .the
amusement of "sport."
If, however. a modern
Christian cathedral really
needs a sports window, why
not have a nice stained glass
picture of Jack Dempsey
knocking ont Willis, the col-
ored man. That, at least, ia
legal in New York State.
A Thibetan lady named
Rin-Chan Lha-Mo says,
“Western women are not
good-looking.” Meaning
Americans, English, ' French,
etc.
The lady says our women’s
noses and ears are too big;
noses like kettle sponts, e
liks pigs’ ears, eyes a silly blue
Eke children’s marbles, eye
sockets too deep, eyebrows too
much like those of monkeys.
a great gold mine. Congress
would ask only for proof that
the gold was there, then the
digging would begin.
The Colorado water offers a
sure mine of power, fertility
and wealth, greater in value
than ajl the gold mines ever
found in California. Every
Congressman of intelligence
not interested in anybody's
private exploitation scheme,
will be for the Boulder dam.
CONSCIENCE, THE LASH
This criticism of our lovely
females will amaze you, espe-
cially if you have ever seen
Thibetan lady with nose flat,
eyes on the outside of her
face, etc.
If Europe multiplies her
combinations in rubber, steel,
etc., shutting out poor little
America, and making ns pay
high prices, somebody wifi
have to write a national sob
anthem for the United States.
Secretary Hoover, first to
shriek with Alarm when Brit-
ish made us pay more for rub-
ber, says he doesn’t believe
the United States will be in-
cluded in the great European
steel trust.
They will buy from each
other and shut ns out. That is
aad, but we have a tariff, and
can do a little shutting out on
our own account.
The principal American
steel stocks went up yester-
day, in spite of the trust. Eu-
rope may have the trust, but
we have the money.
■New Orleans is about to in-
augurate an “aiT field” with
ample accommoditions for
post office, army and civilian
flyers. Every city should pos-
sess such a field and invite
Uncle Sam to send his post of-
fice airships there. Postmaster
New and the President will be
found eager to eo-pperate in
every way.
The New Orleans flying
field is especially important,
because of New Orleans’
strategerical position. An ade-
quate flying field there, with
the possibility of establishing
a military air (base in an em-
ergency, would be nost im-
portant to the protection of
the Panama Canal.
Secretary Work talked
plainly and usefully in Los
Angeles, telNiig the big power
men, who think they should
control the Colorado water
and power, that some jobs are
too big for them. Mr, Work is
not hostile io big business of
the right kind. He knows fit
has built this country, our
Government confining itself
largely to politics and .to run-
ning for office.
■But the Secretary of the
Interior makes it • plain that
some of America’s undertak-
ings are too big for anyone but
‘ Uncle Sam. The great Bould-
er Dam project is one of them.
The -Panama Canal was anoth-
er. Even the French, masters
of engineering, could not man-
age that.
The third degree, de-
nounced es it is by humani-
tarians, often functions well
in solving crime. The swish-
ing terror of the cat-o-nine-
taiis breaks down many a
hardened criminal’s stout
front. But there is a tiny
voice within us that is more
powerful than any whipping
post could be—the cry of an
ant-raged conscience.
There died in a Denver
hospital recently a man who
for more than half a century
had struggled with that inner
voice and who finally lost the
battle. The secret he carried
for fifty years was the brutal
attack on a young Ohio girl,
her murder, ard to crown it
all, the inflaming of a mob
that hung two innocent men.
What a horrible thought to
carry day after day for those
fifty years! The sudden
flaming passion of a drunken
night, a mutilated body on a
vacant lot, the . protesting
sarea ms of innocence of the
two men as they went to that
awful gibbet that he had de-
vised! The stigma of dis-
honor that hovered like a
shadow over the families of
his victims 1
Constantly raging within
him was the struggle between
h'.s fear of the noose, his
shame, and that stinging
voice. A men done, a re-
cluse from any affection the
world could give, hating him-
self, hating his feax yet too
weak to raise his head and call
for justice.
The world mourns and for-
gets, but the voice that never
sleeps remembers. The voice
pursued him. made of him a
rover, a tramp, an outcast,
guilty in the sight of all men,
a- crouching fiemd. There
were the pictures in his mind.
No liquor could erase them,
no drug, no new cities, no mad
pleasures—only death.
After fifty years the hoar
comes to lie down and die.
That torturing cry in his mind
follows him there, goads him,
curses him, calls him coward.
Finally it is unendurable, and
at the fearful climax he con-
fesses, at the hour of going
upon the great adventure, his
lips open ar.d conscience
blurts out its sin.
The ways of punishing
crime are many, but

Small Boy’s Essay on Pants
Pants are made for men
and not for women. Women
are made for men and not for
pants. When a man pants
for a woman and woman pants
for a man, that makes a pair
of pants. Pants are like
molasses—they are thinner in
hot weather and thicker in
cold weather. There has been
much discussion as to whether
pants is singular or plural.
Seems to us that when men
wear pants it is plural and
when they don’t wear pants it
is singular. If you want to
make the pants last make the
coat first.—Hamilton Herald-
Record.

MRS. AMBROSE
PLEASES TIMPSON
MUSIC LOVERS
From Saturday’s Daily.
Mrs. Warren D. Ambrose,
mezzo-soprano, of Nacogdo-
ches, presented a program in
aToic. i this oily last evening at the
l’s mind ’ High school auditorium. She
Mr. Work suggested that
tho*e interested in Colorado
waters, for irrigation or pow-
er, should make their bids, at
a ’efinite price. The idea is
to have facts to put before
Congress, proving that the
schema will pay. Such facts
may be -necessary to convince
some unwilling or dull Con-
gressman but they -ought not
to be necessary. In the case of
A little more smile,
A little less frown.
A little less kicking,
A man when he’s down.
A little more “we,"
A little less "I,”
A little more laugh,
A little less cry.
A little more flowers
On the pathway of life,
And fewer graves
At the end of the strife.
—Cleveland Banker.
Cut this little poem out and
paste it in your hat, that it
may penetrate into your grey
matter to such an extent your
life will become a living ex-
ample of its teachings. Too
many people take. themselves
too seriously. The poem above
is a prescription to prevent an
early grave. Why not accept
it? It costs you nothing; it
blesses him that giveth and
him that receivrth. Live by
its teachings and you will en-
joy life, prosperity and God.
—Praetorian Guard.

Those who heard the pro-
gram pronounced it one of the.
best of its kind ever presented
in Timpson. Mrs. Ambrose
has a wonderful voice, and
last night’s audience enjoyed
the program to the fullest ex-
tent. Mrs. Ambrose has pre-
sented programs in a number
of East Texas towns, and
wherever she has appeared
highest praise has been pub-
lished of her wonderful abili-
ty. Those who heard her last
night were not disappointed
and speak highly eomplimen-
tory of the evening’s program.
