Gatef.ville, Texas, April 30.—
Speaking here Tuesday in behalf of
his candidacy for governor, Senator
Joe Burkett of Eastland urged that
the state make adequate provisions
for the insane of the state* He said
it was a shame that Texas had so
long neglected these unfortunates,
and that if he should be e'ected he
would urge the legislature to make
immediate room for all such per-
sons.
Senator Burkett discussed espe-
cially a high school education for
every child and urged a cash bonus
for ex-service men. A central state
bank, reduction of the interest rate
from ten to eight per cent and n
gasoline tax instead of n license fee
on cars were other things he urged.

Marshall met her second st.aight
defeat in as many days yesterday
afternoon, when they were defeat-
ed by the Sulphur Springs “Saints”
“by a score of 6 to 2. An extreme-
ly high wind made the fielding of
I fly bails difficult. Both Hill for the
visitors and Edgar for the locals,
pitched good hall. The former held
the locals to five hits, but his sup-
| port behind him was ragged and
| faltered at critical moments.
The “Saints" took an early lead
in the first inning by scoring three
runs. Arnspigtr walked and wen-
to second on Meanor’s sacrifice.
Payne hit to left field for two
bases, sending Arnspiger "to third,
and he scored a moment later o:i
West's two-bagger to left field
Payne also came home on the blow.'
Hjjl threw through second base and
West went - to third. Dockery was
given his base on balls. ‘ West

could muster during the game.

UNKNOWN MAN’S
BODY WAS FOUND
IN RED RIVER
Paris, Texas, April 30.—The body
of a man, apparently about fifty
years of age, was found floating in
Red River, north of English, in Red
River county, Monday afternoon.
There were no letters or marks of
identification about the body. It
is presumed that the man fell in the
river at some point above. He had
evidently been in the water for ft
week or more.
The body waa discovered by some
men who were crossing the river in
a skiff.;
Tho physiological effects of th«
mechanical and mental processes
Involved In laughing are not gen-
erally understood and appreciated.
The "laugh cure" Is a reality for
It la a remedy of very great value.
Many a man. placed In a trying
■Ituation. would have been saved
from tragical consequences If he
could have found some means of
arousing tho emotions expressed In
a good hearty laugh.
Naturally there may be times In
life when a laugh Is utterly Impos-
sible, or may soem so. Neverthe-
less the Inclination to stimulate the
emotions associated with laughter
and good humor should be en-
couraged at every opportunity.
There Is no question that laugh-
ter has valuable vitalizing qualities.
It undoubtedly adds to one’s stam-
ina. It gives one a hopeful spirit.
It loads one to look upon the bright
1 side of life. When you can laugh,
the sun la shining regardless of
how many clouds obscure the sky.
No matter what other efforts you
may be making to bulkl strength
and vitality, do not allow the seri-
ous side of life to occupy you con-
tinuously.
Each day should have Its laugh-
ing time, or Its many laughing
times It Is barely possible, of
course, that laughing, like any
other emotional expression, would
become tiresome tf overdone but I
am Inclined tn doubt the possibility
of harmful effect under any clr-
c urn stances. “All work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy" and
the relaxation and recuperation
that go with laughing should be
sought with a certain amount of
regularity. If you cannot And re-
creation of this kind through any
other source, then attend a “funny

Go to a theatre, where merri-
ment Is supreme. On such occas-
ions at least I would avoid traged-

Nona Richards, young and pretty,
may have to serve eight years in the
rf-te penitentiary as a punishment
for forging the names of others to
four cheeks.
The girl pleaded guilty in four
forgery cases Tuesday morning in
Judge Grover Adams’ criminal dis-
trict court and was sentenced to
two years’ servitude in each case.
The amount of money she obtain
ed from the four checks, written
over a period of three months, total-
ed only $50.50, according to evi-
dence. That means she must work
out her punishment at the rate of
about $6 a year, if she goes to pri-

PERFECT GIRLS
PLAY OUT OF DOORS
AND KNOW BIRDS
Chicago, April 30.—The modern
flapper is so far ahead of her Vic-
torian sister that comparisons are
out of place, declared Mrs. Freder-
ick Edey of New York, chairman of
the credentials cofamittee of the
National Council of Girl Scouts in
session here.
She described the 1924 girl as “a
reliable person because the trend
of the times has made her so. She is
full of mercy, and if she flaps, it is
for the same reason that the little
bird flaps its wings when it first
leaves the security of the cage.”
Mrs. Jane Deeter Rippin, nation-
al Girl Scout director, and former
chief probation officer of Phila-
delphia, characterizes the “perfect
girl” aa “one able to play outdoors,
understand the trees, the birds, the
flowers and all living things. Eth-
ical virtue* of honor, loyalty, cour-
age and steadiness of purpose must
be hers. She must possess a knowl-
edge of spiritual values and ability
to invite her soul to grow.”

Miss Adeline Watkins, eighteen
years old, was attacked by a man
who entered her home, 2018 Ross
avenue, Monday night and after in-,
suiting her knocked her down when
she attempted to fight him\ff. Po-
lice who investigated, arrested the
man and took him to the city jail
for questioning.
C. F. Isbell, city policeman, made
the arrest. Miss Watkins told him
that she was talking over the tele-
phone in the hall when the mun
came into the house. She declares
he made several insulting remarks
and attempted to seize her by the
arm.
She screamed and began slapping
him, she told officers, and he struck
her, knoeking her to the floor.
When the officers arrived they
found the man in a back room of
the house, where ' he had taken
refuge. He was charged with aggra-
vated assault.
At the city jail Tuesday morning

9 STUDENTS ARE
EXPELLED FROM
S.M.U. AT DALLAS
, Dallas, Texas, April 30.—Expul-
c’ n of nine students and suspension
of twenty-five others, all young
men, followed completion late Tues-
day of the investigation by the dis-
cipline committee of the Southern
Methodist university into a party
held at Salvage lake, near Dallas,
April 9, and the publication*^ an
anonymous paper called “The Dink-
ey,” on April 1. Twenty-two others
were placed on probation for the re-
mainder of their college career. The
committee reported that no girls
were involved in the entire affair.
The •committee will continue its in-
vestigation in case charges are made
against other students.
Findings of the committee were
announced by President Charles C.
Selecman after a meeting of the
faculty, which heard the report of
the committee. President Selecman
said the names would not be made
public, but that each student involv-
ed would be advised by letter of the
decision of his case.
Statement by President Selecman.
“It has required much time to
get at the bottom of all the report*
and rumors,” President Selecman
said. “All the time necessary was
taken to insure that the guilty
would be punished and thnt no in-
justice would be done.
“A committee of students, head-
ed by the president of the student
body and the chairman of the stu-
dent honor council, anil made up of
leading young men in Southern
Methodist university, first carefully
investigated and made reports. ,
Each Given Hearing,
“Following this, the discipline
committee of the faculty gave each
young man u hearing and Home of
them were permitted to appear be-
fore the committee two or three
times.
“It is evident that certain young
men have gotten into our student
body who do not share cur ideals
or belong to an institution of thisy
character.
“We are seriously undertaking to
do a piece of Christian educational
work, and we would prefer a small-
er student body rather than,to have
in our number young persons who
are out of sympathy with our ideals
and our objectives.”
Some Former Students Barred.
In addition to the action taken
with regard to students, the faculty
at Tuesday’s meeting adopted a res-
olution excluding from the campus
and from fraternity and sorority
buildings off the campus a dozen or
more former male students, who
were named in the resolution.
These will be notified today of
the action taken.
Termed "Chief Offenders.”
The nine students excelled were
found by the committee to have
been the “chtef offenders in ti\e
two incidents under investigation."
Four were charged principally with
connection with the jrtifclleation 0f
two issues of “The Dinkey” on April
1 and 2 and five for participation
in a party at Savage lake. Miscon-
duct in connection with the lako
party was the charge against those
suspended.
The discipline committee was
unanimous in all decisions, it waa
said, as was also the faculty in ap-
proving the report as a whole.
