Kirby Opposes Tax
Limit Amendment
As School Menace
Houston, Tex., Oct. 31 — The
proposed constitutional amendment
to be voted upon next Tuesday
which would limit state expendi-
tures to 122.50 per inhabitant per
biennium, should be defeated be-
cause it "would throw a dark sha-
dow across the public schools of
Texas", John H. Kirby of Houston,
noted student of the constitution,
declared Tuesday night in a state-
wide radio address over the South-
west network.
Mr. Kirhy suggested it would be
the safe course to defeat all eight
of the proposed amendments, but
deoted u section of his speech es-
pecially to the so-called tax-limita-
tion proposal, No. 3 on the ballot.
“This amendment provides that
state expenditures shall never ex-
ceed $22.50 per person for any bi-
ennium", he said. “In a sense that
sounds good; surely we are all for
economy, and we do not want
waste and extravagance. But the
authors of that amendment mis-
take parsimony for economy.
“Such an amendment would
sometime act us an obstruction to
education. We don't want waste.
About 1000 rodeo funs and horse
lovers turned out Monday after-
noon for the big ltodeo ut Charles
Flato Memorial Park. The rodeo
I was scheduled as a preliminary to
the Horse Show and the Annual
1 Short Course und Livestock Meet \
1 to be held this week on the A. tic 1. i
campus.
The program was limited to four
events: Calf Kopiug, Single Tie-
Down, Steer Riding, and Wild Cow
Milking. In the Calf Roping event,
Hayes Gilliam, left-handed rope
urtlst, won first place with a time
of 4 and 2-5 seconds. Robert J. Kle-
berg, manager of the King Ranch,
was second with a time of 5 sec-
onds A. Obanlon was third. First
place paid $50; second $30; and |
$20. Hob Kleberg wus riding High*
Gear, race horse of note and one'
of the prettiest cow ponies In the j
state.
Frank Rook of Woodsboro was
first in the Single Tie Down with a
time of 29 seconds. Hob Kleberg
was again second. M. Garcia was
third. First prize was $16; second
$9; and third $6.50.
In the Steer Riding, only two en-
tries were recorded, and both of
these failed to ride the time out.
An outsider, not entered, Forrest
I Hooth of Kinsville, put on a good
exhibition. A feature of this event
was a match between three divis-
ions of the King Ranch. Laurcles’
two representatives tied.
The last on the days program
was the Wild Cow Milking, won
by I) C. Hunter and John Sullivan.
They received $7.
The Rodeo was under the direc-
tion of Dr. J. K. Northway and Bill
McBryde, and announced by O. M.
Kellogg.
Hut a penurious policy Isn't In
keeping with the great spirit of
Texas. It Is cheap statesmanship.
A budget that wouldn't meet the
need of all children within the
scholastic age, that wouldn’t carry
light and hope to each outlying dis-
trict, would be too small for Texas.
If threatened Inflation should come
and further reduce the buying pow-
er of the dollar, the sum named
would not support the require-
ments of the state. Every father
and mother in Texas with children
to educate should do his part to
defeat, the amendment."
Mr. Kirby spoke over KTSA, San
Antonio; WACO, Waco; KTAT,
Fort Worth; KTltH, Houston;
KNOW, Austin; and KRLD, Dallas.

CLEOPATRA
Cedi H. DeMIUe, motion picture
director and master of the specta-
cle, has turned to the pages of
history for Ills newest Paramount
film which Is entitled “Cleopatra,"
and which makes its dehut at the
Hialto Theatre Tuesday and Wed-
nesday.
With Claudette Colbert, Warren
William and Henry Wilcoxon play-
ing the principal parts, “Cleopat-
ra” brings to hte screen all the tal-
ent of this pioneer director who
hus come up from the beginning
of motion pictures more than 20
years ago with each new film top-
ping his previous one.
That his metier Is the kind of
film muking shown here is beyond
all doubts. In every lavish, glit-
tering, fascinating sequence, the
genius of DeMIUe speaks out in
bold, clear strokes. "Cleopatra” Is
indeed the finest thing he lias yet
done.
Taking the exciting love affairs
of Egypt’s glamorous queen ^for
his story basis, DeMIUe weaves his
pattern on a background of Rome
and Egypt in all their glory and
grandeur. More than 5,000 people
appear in the film, which tells In
dramatic fashion how Cleopatra
and Marc Antoy, the Roman leader,
linger at love while mighty empires
tottter about their very feet.
The supporting cast Is complete
with many of Hollywood's best
players. Among those who you
will see are Ian Keith, Joseph
Schlldkraut, C. Aubrey Smith, Ger-
trude Michael, Irving Plchel, Wil-
liam Farnum, Bryant Washburn,
Robert Warwick, Edwin Maxwell
and Harry Heresford.
Waldemar Young and Vincent
Lawrence wrote the screen play
which was adapted to the screen
by Bartlett Cormack.
Weisman Returns
From Eye Clinic
I)r. J 11. Weisman returned to-
day from Harlingen, where he lias
been attending the Graduate Clinic
in Optometry, conducted by Dr.
A. M. Skefflngton, internationally
known Optometrle Diagnostician
and Technician.
Dr. Weisman is very enthusiastic
about the work given, stating that
the tremendous widened scope of
the work in correcting eye defects
is simply amazing. I’hat the Clin-
ician showed that many eye de-
fects, near-sightedness for in-
stance, is entirely due to excessive
use of the eyes, and the brain pat-
tern of nervous force supplied was
not adapted to the very great vis-
ual burden of modern eye de-
mands. That much of these defects
could be entirely eliminated if
tuken in time and properly cared
for.
Gallic Fortre.. I» Found
Discovery has been ninde near
Clermont Ferrand, France, of a vast
fortified place, which constitutes
one of the most Important remains
of ancient Gallic civilization.
Paarb
Pearls of culture generally pos-
sess a liner structure than those of
accidental growth. Tills Is due to
the smaller amount of organic iunt-
ter which Is consumed and secreted
by the oysters, which live In well
cleaned cages. “Natural" pearls
contain on an average 2 per cent of
water, but those of “culture" con-
tain less than this, an Important
factor after the pearl bn-* dried out.
Kingsville Brahmas
To Play Harlingen
Friday the Kingsville High Brah-
mas go to Harlingen to meet their
third conference opponent In the
form of the Harlingen Cardinals.
Last week Harlingen went down
j before Corpus Chrlsti’s crushing at-
I tack, but It is understood that the
j Cardinals are a scrappy lot and the
game should be far front a cinch.
Barr plans to take all Ills men to
the contest, and plans are being
worked up to take all the pep
squad. Anyone who Is Interested In
taking eft her players, pep squad
members, or students should get In
touch with Mr. C. S. Hereford, high
school principal.
The Brahmas promise a real
battle for all followers and it will
be w'ell worth the trip to see the
Barnnen out to avenge the sting-
ing Cardinal thumpings of past
years.

Exhibit, A. & I. Short
Course Self-Help
Clothes For Children
An exhibit of children's clothing
designed for eusy making and easy
laundering, and to help the child
to dress himself, will be shown at
the Texas College of Arts and In-;
duatrlea, Kingsville, October 30 to

partment of Agriculture, and the
exhibit will be under the direction
of Miss Margaret Neely, Head of
i the Department of Home Econoni-
j ies.

ive child, encouragement to self-
help, and the saving of bis moth-
er’s time and energy are the main
objectives In ull the Bureau of
Home Economics’ designs. All the
garments In this exhibit are adjust-
able, also, to the growing child,
extra niateriul being allowed for
lengthening. There is a minimum ,
of buttons, and those that are used j
are conveniently placed, and of a
sized and type easy for children to j
manage.
Most of the fabrics are cotton,'
but there are also some washable
woolens. The materials in all the
garments were chosen because of
thfelr all-round practicability for
children's clothes. Cottons can be
secured in many weaves and qual-
ities, for any sort of suit or dress,
as the exhibit demonstrates.
The garments included In the
exhibit are play suits, sun suits,
and sun suit ensembles for girls j
and boys, dresses for little girls, j
Infant’s wear, and rompers for
creeping babies. They were de-

Bureau of Home Economics at
Washington, and four such exhibits
are constantly in circulation
throughout the country in response
to requests from colleges and other
Institutions or organizations con-
cerned with child welfare. The
bureau does not distribute putterns
for the garments, but several pat-
tern manufacturers have adopted
the bureau's designs and put the
patterns on the market. The nam-
es of these firms, together with the
pattern numbers, will be furnished
by the bureau upon request.
