To go to worldly
joys and pastimes to
quench the sorrows and

is the ready way to in-

The Car of the Future
Nothing in the whole field of
invention and technical prog-
ress has made such a rapid
strides as the automobile. Com-
pare the poorest car turned out
in 1933 with the best of 1918,
or even of 1928, and the su-
periority of the new cars over
the old, from every point of
view, is instantly apparent.
But the automobile of today
is as inferior to the car of the
future as the earlier cars were
to those of now. Industrial re-
search at its best is working
ceaselessly to improve them.
The car of the not far distant
future, the Society of Automo-
tive Engineers was told the
other day at its convention will
not only be equipped with a
heater for Winter driving but
with an air cooling device to
make it comfortable in Sum-
mer heat. Some form of safe,
economical automotive refrig-
erating system is in process of
evolution. It may be some-
thing like the “dry ice'’ sys-
tem, widely used in the desert
regions of the Southwest,
where the motorist can buy at
a filling station a brick of car-
bon-dioxide "snow” which has
a temperature of 106 below
zero and exaporates into a
harmless gas. That is an ef-
fectual method of keeping a
closed car cool.
The modern closed car,
however, came in for criticism
at the same convention. The
engineers were told that they
were sacrificing safetly to
style, by making the car hood
too long and high, drivers’
seats too low, and corner posts
too thick, among other things.
Better visibility from the
drivers’ seat is needed.
We’re not going to wait un-
til 1948 for the perfect car,
however. We’il get a 1938
model as soon as we can nego-
tiate a good trade-in on our old
jalopy.
Mussolini withdraws Italy
from the League of Nations
and makes racks about tot-
tering temples. If we were the
L. of N., we would call a meet-
ing and pass an irresolution.—-

Americanism: Buying steel-

—Akron Beacon-Journal.
Satisfied ?
Some people wish they had a home, while others
crave a car—
None of us are satisfied to be just what we are—
We only see the ones that are fortunate, in the mat-
ter of finance,
And wonder why in the world that we, have never
had a chance.
Why rack your brain and cuff and cuss, because you
haven’t wealth.
When the richest man in the universe—would give
it all to have your health?
Good health 13 wealth—so watch your step—and
check from time to time—
See that your foods are good and pure and come
from NUMBER NINE!

UNDER THE DOME AT AUSTIN
(By Gordon K. Shearer. United Press Staff Correspondent)
Austin, Tex., Jan. 22. (UP)
—Meters will keep an accu-
rate record of Texas oil pro-
duction whenever the state
railroad commisaoin finds
meters which it considers accu-
rate enough to justify the cost.
I ouisiana recently ordered
metering of its wells. Results
there will be watched.
The gas content is said to
make accurate metering of oil
difficult. The Texas method
of gauging production is to run
oil into tanks that are marked
and let it flow out again after
measuring.
“Beer can be metered, why
not oil?” an inquirer asked at
a railroad commission meet-
ing.
"Both do contain gas,”
mused Commissioner Ernest
O. Thompson as spectators
guffawed.

Complaintants against the
state game, fish and oyster
commission appearing before
a senate investigating commit-
tee found themselves as well as
the commission under inquiry
by the committee.
A sports writer was grilled
on the grounds he had to sus-
tain his writings. Others were
cross-examined by an attor-
ney for the committee who
called for specific names,
dates, etc.
Many of the complaints were
traced to "common report.”
Others were more specific.
Former Commission Chairman
Jess L. Stowers of Vernon was
given as author of some of the
complaints. Numerous Austin
men were named as contribu-
tors to a fund to lobby for the
game department during the
session of the Texas legisla-
ture.

- Tales of the Wild West bring
grief to ambitious youngsters
who try to rob trains and hold
up stores in modem Texas. In
the loot taken by a group of
out-of-state youths who robbed
a store at San Marcos a prom-
inent item was cowboy boots.
One of the youths was wearing
stolen cowboy boots when cap-
tured. Two other pairs were
taken and two other youths
escaped.

- State Agricultural Commis-
sioner J. E. McDonald does not
agree with the people who
salute him these days with:
"What fine weather we are
having.”
"It may seem fine now,” Mc-
Donald said, “but it is too
early for this kind of weather.
Crops are springing up as a re-
sult of the rain and warmth.
The shoots are very tender. A
cold spell such as may be ex-
pected at this time of year
will do a great deal of dam-
age.”
McDonald feared fruit trees
i also will bud early and be
hurt.
Midget Hides in Rug
St. Louis. (UP) — Police
searched everywhere for a 3-
foot, 45-pound midget, for
questioning in connection with
the shooting of a showman,
but gave up after 17 hours of
searching. The midget had
rolled himself up in a rug
while police searched all about
him.
Harrisburg, 111. (UP)—Mrs.
Mary Berry, 93-year-old
grandmother, has begun to cut
a third set of teeth. The first
of the new set appeared last
year, Mrs. Berry said. She
doesn’t need the new set be-
cause most of her permanent
teeth remain and are in good
condition.
