Creek-bottom justice has started in
Dallas again and it looks like the Dal-
las police are in on the deal.
In a drive on gangland New York
City put on ten thousand policemen
Saturday night. There is the faintest
indication that the worm is getting
ready to turn. It is to be hoped it is
and that this country will be made en-
tirely too hot for those of the A1 Ca-
pone stripe. * *
The general policies of the Farm
Board will undergo no change, it is
said, because of the change of chair-
men. James ^j. Stone, the new chair-
man, made this clear on assuming of-
fice. The case is somewhat like that of
prohibition. The opponents are try-
ing so hard to muddy the water that
the Farm Board has hardly had a fair-
chance and whether it has merit or
not is hard to determine.

The weather man sent this section
a batch of weather last week-end that
must have been intended for Alaska.
Beginning Friday night ice formed to
a thickness of an eighth of an inch and
the mercury ranged from 26 to 29.
Saturday and Sunlay a stiff west wind
prevailed, brining over from the
i ost enough sand to obscure the sun.
L ome think that, due to the fact that
io was the light of the moon and the
ground -was wet, not a great deal of
carnage was done.
President Hoover gave as his rea-
son for vetoing the Muscle Shoals bill
that he opposed the government’s en-
tering into business “in competition
with its citizens.” It’s very stange
how he could feel that way about it
when the government has been com-
peting with the printers of the country
byb printing envelopes for years. He
evidently meant that he is opposed to
the government entering into compe-
tition with the big ones.
Bombay.—One of the most colorful
characters In all of the Indian resist-
ance to British rule is Raja Shivaji,
the young Bhil robber chief of the
Khandesh district, who has been the
bane of 750 police in three districts
for a year.
This young Indian Robin Hood has
carried a price of 5,000 rupees on his
head for months—a reward offered
by the inspector general of police in
Bombay—but the money has gone
a-begging.
Shivaji has become the veritable
king of the jungle in the vast moun-
tain fastnesses and wooded valleys
of the Satpura range. He levies taxes
on the villages and compels them to
pay annual tribute. If they refuse,
he raids the villages and carries away
money or property equal in value to
his assessment upon them.
Kills Policeman.
The outstanding acts of this moun-
tain desperado, who still holds the
admiration and respect of other In-
dians, include the killing of a police
constable during a raid about a year
ago, a public thrashing administered
to another policeman, and a raid ac-
companied by arson in a marwari’s
house in the village of Igatpur Taluka
two months ago. All of these exploits
were carried out in the most daring
and sensational manner.
The slaying of the police officer
came when Raja Shivaji was surprised
and surrounded by a raiding party in
the heart of a thick forest. The offi-
cer was the first to see the rebel
chieftain and made a dash for him.
Raja Shivaji at first made a sham
attempt to escape, but actually con-
cealed himself in the tall grass. When
the pursuer drew close he shot him
through the heart and escaped.
The thrashing took place in the
presence of a large crowd gathered
in a village of Feint Taluka on a ba-
zaar day. Raja Shivaji attended the
bazaar and casually heard of the pres-
ence of a head constable.
Thrashes Another.
He hunted the policeman through
the market place, and when he con-
fronted him, as if by common con-
sent, the whole market place became
emptied of villagers, although they
remained as witnesses from the sides.
The two met alone, and when Raja
Shivaji had cbmpleted his thrashing
he added the indignity of sticking a i your head
dried fish in the policeman’s mouth ! your eyes,
by way of an outrage to his Brahmin
superstition. The policeman barely
escaped with his life after being
forced to listen to a sermon on the
iniquity of tyrannizing poor villagers.
In nearly all the villages he has
kinsmen and the inhabitants are evi-
dently aware of his whereabouts.
Most of his secret haunts also are
known to the natives, but not even
the village children would breathe a
word about them.

The direct, immediate and simple
transformation of sunlight into elec-
trcity and electrical energy has just
been achieved by a 28-year-old German
scientist, according to a dispatch from
Berlin.
He is Dr. Bruno Lange. His dis-
covery is characterized as most sen-
sational. He diaims it will make pos-
sible the future elimnaton of coal and
oil and other present means of de-
veloping power thru using the sun as
an inexhaustible source of supply to
mankind for locomotion, heat and
light.
It consists of a thin copper disc on
which is painted oxide of copper, or
cuprous oxide.
To the disc, two wires are attached.
When a light ray passes thru the disc
there is an immediate current of elec-
tricity in the wires, which can be used
at once to light bulb or run a motor.
The cuprous oxide is the mysterious
substance which converts the sun-
light into electricity.
The young scientist’s discovery is
considered among his co-workers as
the most important since Thomas Edi-
son’s invention of the
bulb.—Yeoman Shield.

flooding our markets with cheaply

While these prison-made garments
are being shipped in to the state, there
is scarcely a Texas factory operating
on fiull sche-dule. Thousands of skilled
workers walk the streets in idleness,
deprived of their employment in the
well equipped garment factories of
the state.
Here is involved a principle which
lies deeper than the mere question of

At a recent pistol shooting contest
Officer John Charles was called upon

He shot ten times and failed to hit

Disgusted, he tossed away his pistol,

whose convicts are employed in the
manufacture of these various laws are
forbidden to market them in their own
state without the prsion label.
In Texas there are no such laws de-
signed to protect industry and the
workingman from such unfair and de-
moralizing competition. Taking ad-
vantage of this situation, other state
prison garment producers are carry-
ing out what is known as the dumping
process of disposing of their cheaply
made products in the Sthte of Texas.
In fairness to Texas industry, to
ers, two foods and nutrition and one

should lose no time in making it man-
datory that all prisonmade garments
