Absolutely No Doubt About It

IS related that a young lawyer sought the judge at his home,
Which was in the lower East Side, for the purpose of obtaining
ah
Bis signature to an order in a case where prompt action was essential.
The judge not being at home, the maid who answered the door confided

the information that her employer would likely be found at a nearby
address to which she directed the caller. Thither went the young man.
The place proved to be a “beer tunnel;" typical of a number then to be

Sure enough, there pi
. there present was His Honor. He was seated at a table
with some companions; he was coatless, and visibly affected by the
heat, for which he sought relief in copious draughts from a huge stein
of brer; and he was eugaged in a game of pinochle.
After some hesitation the young lawyer approached within res-
pectful distance of the table, and at the end of the play, while a
shuffle of the cards was in progress, endeavored to engage “judicial
notice.” He had not proceeded
pulsed. A
very far before he was impatiently re-

An enthusiastic gathering of pro-
gressive, representative citizens from
all parts of Texps met in the Pan-
American Exposition building in Dal-
las last Saturday to plan lor a much
larger presentation of the Natural
Resources of Texas than was shown
at the Centennial last year, fine
that was.
Each delegate was requested to
arouse interest, and get the best
showing possible from his communi-
ty. I was asked to solicit the ever-
strong and valuable help of the news-
papers along this line of railway, as
well of chambers of commerce and
progressive people willing to help
advance the interests of our State,
to get together everything that would
add to Interest of the expostlon.
In this paricular division only nat-
ural rsources are asked for. Large
blocks of lignite, coal, bottles of pe-
troleum, white clay for making table-
.ware, and other clays for dairyware,
jugs, etc., aa well as clay for brick;
desirable building stone, granite and
marble, all kinds of wood, in fact,
anything that has a commercial value
in the way of natural resources.
" Texas is known to have about 100
different natural resources of com-
mercial value, which is likely more
than double the number possessed
by 'any other State. This; is partly
accounted for by the enormous size
of Texas reaching from the moun-
tains to the sea. The fish and oyster
resources of our long coast lino, will
also be represented, with about 100
varieties.
It has been my privilege to see the
fine marble display at Carara, Italy,
that for twenty centuries ha* been
regarded as marble headquarters of
the world, and I was amazed to see
more than double as many different
kinds of stone, granite and marble,
including many ornamental varieties
shown from Texas as Italy has, and
still other varieties were promised
lrom remote quaries in time for the
exposition in June. The varieties of
clay and sand for glass making in
Texas are also very large.
It is most gratifying to see what
is being done to make the Pan-
American Expoistion much larger
and more, interesting than last years,
Centennial, and to contemplate its
value to Texas as the gateway to
and from the many great and po-
tentially ffrtAf cfftinfHe»4of (Vnftal
and South America, that are to be
our nearer neighbors, and customers
of the future.

Very grateful for hearty cooperation
of ail progressive citizens, commer-
cial organizations, and especially the
always influential and helpful news-
papers.
Kindly communicate either with
Judge John M. Spellman, president
of the Natural Resources Division of
the Exposition at Dallas, or myself.

Austin, Texas.—The Superintend-
ent of the State Psychopathic Hos-
pital at Galveston, Dr. G. W. Day,
recently asked the House Appropri-
ations Committee to approve the pur-
chase of additional land for recrea-
tional and other purposes at the in-
stitution. The cost would be approx-
imately $150,000.
Rep. Penrose Metcalfe of San An-
gelo thought the price too high and
queried:
"Is that where Jean LaFitte buri-
ed his treasure?”
“You would think so,” said Dr.
Day, “from the price they ask for
that property."
On his recent 38th birthday anni-
versary Governor Allred received
two letters which gave him a laugh.
One was addressed > to “Governor
Dan Moody” and praised the work
of the Governor’s traffic safety
committee.
The other was from the U. S
Postoffice Dept, and contained a list
of 30 applicants for the postmaster-
ship in a small town who had named
the Governor as one who would rec-
ommend them for the job.

Lions Club in Session—headline.
Lion J. E. Evans talked on the "Paint
Brush” or "Beautifying the City.”
In his talk he called attention to a )
load of tin cans and rubbish that had ]
been dumped on the highway near
the reservoir . . . Lion J. K. Brim
gave a very timely talk on the prop-
er observance of the city traffic
laws.
Willie Mae Kicks, 9-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Kicks, had |
her collar bone broken in falling
from a swing at Shady Grove School
last Thursday.
Carey Turrentine, 7-year-old son
of Mr. ami Mm. Lonnie Tu'rentine.
had his tonsils removed at the Long
Hospital early Tuesday morning.
The House was startled one
when the capito! corridors were
crowded with county (superintend
ents and others interested in ‘rural
legislation. It was one of the largest
delegations of the session.
When it developed that Rep. Jap
Luca* of Athena had summoned the
school men by sending out nearly
200 telegrams, “collect," Borneono
made a motion that he take the vis-
itors to lunch. Another suggested
that the superintendents take the
Legislature to lunch.
“They didn't do either,” Lucas
said later. Thojf took me.”

The Allreds recently received their
first letter from I'Jitn Boy,” the eld-
est of their three children.
Written from the home of Mis,
Allred’s parents at Wichita Falls,
the letter said, in large print:
“I am glad 1 have a new baby
brother. Is it all right to buy him
something?”
The new brother is Sam Houston

The Governor explained they
would not allow the children to make
purchases without asking permis-
sion.
The idea of a unicameral legisla-
ture. says Rep. J. Carroll McConnell,
is not new.
He told u committee the bicameral
legislative body came into existence |
centuries ago because the unicamer-

The latter, he said, was tried out in
France. Spain, Portugal and even
England, under Cromwell, and was
found wanting.

An appalling disaster happened tc
the Tira community Friday afternoon
at 5 o'clock when fire destroyed one
of the largest rural school buildings
in the county.
The auditorium wa» an ideal one.j
The beautiful curtains, valued at
$500.90, were lost. The stage fur-
niture and piano, everything in the
building, was a complete loss. Only
$6,000.00 insurance was carried. The
amount will nothing like put the
building back, besides the furnishings
and equipment.
Sulphur Springs reports a perfect
March fire record, while Tira had
the worst fire record in years. The
house of Mr. Vandevers burned and
a week and one day later the school
building burned. There had not been
a fire made in the auditorium.
The pupil* anJ teachers were pre-
paring to put on a program that
night.
The thoughts of the Tira people
drifted to New London as they saw
the wistful little facts watching their
persona! pof-esaioris going up in
llames. How thankful we aiq; that no
life was lost.
The children had gone home one
hour before the building burned.
The large auditorium was the pride
of the children, and they wjl) not
likely have another one as large.
Maybe, somehow, some aid will be
granted that will give back the chil-
dren their good school.—Reported.
