a big bearing on outlining the
field of production.
' Perfect Record
Made by Bureau
Of Public Safety
Austin, Sept. 25. (INS)—During
the first year of its existence,
the State Bureau of Intelligence
in the department of public
safety scored an almost perfect,
record.
^JTiis was shown in a report
of the bureau, made by Chief
M. T Gonzaullas to the director
of the department, showing that
140 cases were completed out
of the 142 in which the division
had a part. The list included 56
murder cases.
Latest scientific equipment is
used in the work.
Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Owens
went to Texarkana Wednesday,
where Mrs. Owens underwent
an appendix operation at the
Cotton Belt hospital.
Mrs. Mamie Hurley, of Sul-
phur Springs, is visiting Mr.
and Mrs. E. M. Lide.
SAYS SLOT MACHINES
WOULD BUILD DAM
TO CONTROL FLOODS
Austin Sept. 25. (INS)—
Sadly looking over the dam-
age done by the Colorado
river in its latest flood,
Sheriff Lee O. Allen said he
nad a method of halting such
floods in the future, with no
cost to the State or Travis
County.
Pointing to 300 slot ma-
chines piled up in his office,
he declared:
“If the county or State
would take those machines
and let them run wide open
for a year, they could build
a dam larger than Buchanan
dam with no trouble at all.”
The 300 machines are
stored in the court house as
a result of raids by sheriffs
officers and the city poilce
* ver the last three years.
Sheriff Allen said <hey would
bring in $60 a week if al-
lowed to operate in good lo-
cations.

■ Tigers’ lair Saturday night at
I Baton Rouge. A team which
j lest heavily by graduation, the
; Owls will be out-weighed in the
| line and up against a team with
j more practice under its collec-
tive belt. With all due regards
I to Jimmie Kitts’ abilities, it.
j looks as if this year it’ll be too
tough.
Bavlor, the “dark horse” of
the conference, could very easily
become the champion in its
own league and still lose to a
superior Hardin-Simmon»,team
Saturday at Waco. All reports
seem to be that the Cowboys
have what it takes this year.
Rapidly rising, a victory over
a member of the Southwest Cir-
cuit would be sweet indeed. The
Bears, while having the ele-
ments of greatness without a
doubt, appear still a little rough
at the edges. Baylor's toughest
game of the season may come
Saturday.
Also looking for trouble is a
high-speed Texas Christian
crew that invades Lubbock to
tackle Texas Tech. The Red
Raiders are “loaded for bear”
this year. A few Horned Frogs
would be pleasant variety for
Pete Cawthon’s men. The pur-
ple looked like anything but
champions against a wide-
awake Howard Payne team last
week.
The other three contestants
from the major league take on
breathers, apparently. Texas
A. & M. plays host to Sam
Houston Teachers as usual, and
should duplicate last year’s per-
formance. The Bearkats are im-
proved, but the Aggies are right
up there.
Arkansas will rudely welcome
the Pittsburgh, Kansas Teach-
ers, probably walloping the
visitors as badly as they do .their

mage.
Matty Bell, with practically
all his Rose Bowl team gone via
the diploma route, fears North
Texas Texas Teachers in the
best A. M. Stagg manner, Scof-
fers may observe that Jack
Stovall, one of the best backs
in the state, is still running wild
for the Eagles. At any rate, it
will be a very different story
from last year’s 39-0 rout.
