iIRS. TOM RICHEY HOSTESS TO
WEDNESDAY STUDY CLUB
DEPARTMENT BILL FOR $12,-
660,000 IS PASSED BY HOUSE
“The American Home" was the
general topic outlined at a most en-
joyable meeting1 of the Wednesday
Study group at the home of Mrs.
Richey, April 5. Responses to l’oll
call: “What I enjoy most in my
home,” included mention of many
simple as well as more luxurious
home furnishings.
A paper “Labor saving machinery
for the home," was given by Mrs.
33. L. Key. The early American heme
and its equipment was well contrast-
ed to the modern American home and
the “Press the button service” we
now enjoy. “The home is an institu-
tion to protect and to guide the young
of the race,” said Mrs. Key. The
mothers time which was once entire-
ly absorbed in the many tasks of the
home has been put to a greater ad-
vantage during the machine age when
women have time to conduct a "well
ordered home and also enjoy the
other lines of work.
“To create the spirit of beauty in
the home there must be integrity
tidiness, affection, cheerfulness and
industry. The memory of a beauti-
ful and happy home is a rich legacy
any parent can leave to their child-
ren no matter how poor. Such homes
are a constant inspiration for good
and no heart can forget the hallowed
Influences,” were some of the thoughts
developed by Mrs. George Culver who
had as her topic “Living the spirit
of beauty in the home.”
The following phases were discus-
*ed: “Home garden and house-hold
helps,”—Mrs. Skaggs.
“Budget or financing the home,”—
JMrs. White.—Reporter.

AUSTIN, Texas, April 5.—Labor-
ing with the departmental appropria-
tion bill intermittently over several
days, the senate finally passed the
measure Tuesday, carrying a total
for the biennium of approximately
$12,660,000.
The feature Tuesday was the evi-
dence of the popularity of the high-
way commission as shown in the deci-
sive vote against an amendment which,
would have reduced its forces and
circumscribed its activities.
First come an amendment by Mur-
phy, Collie and DeBerry striking out
the entire appropriation for the re-
clamation department, totaling $67,-
500 for the two years. It was tabled,
15 to 11.
Members and employes of the rail-
road commission attending rate hear-
ing and other conferences in Wash-
ington and other places wex*e placed
with the attorney general in being ex-
empt from obtaining permission of
the board of control and the comp-
troller to leave the state.
George Purl offered an amendment
placing all departmental porters un-
der the jurisdiction of the board of
control to insure a clean capitol and
state office building. It was adopt-
ed.
Itemization Required.
Itemization of all adjutant gener-
al’s department salaries was requir-
ed by an amendment of T. J. Hol-
brook. This was the fh’st time such
action has been taken.
A move toward economy was a di-
rection that the board of control buy
pleted today. Others will be select-
ed in additional cities before the end
of the week, with the president plan-
ning to have 250,000 men at work be-
fore July 1.
Registration of applicants will not
be undertaken by the labor depart-
ment at public places as previously
planned. Instead, unmarried men be-
tween 18 and 25 years of age who
have dependent relatives for whose
benefit they are willing to allot a
substantial portion of their $30
monthly wage will be selected.
Regulated Selection.
The labor department announced
tho selections will be made “by offi-
cially established state or city relief
administrations which are actually
assisting those known to be the most
in need of employment and who have
records of their names, addresses and
circumstances.”
The quotas of the first movement
follow: New York City, 7,500; Buffa-
lo, 600; Chicago, 4,000; Philadelphia,
3,000; Pittsburgh, 900; Detroit, 2,100;
Cleveland, 1,000; Cincinnati, 500;
Kansas City, 400; Baltimore, 1,000;
Boston, 900; Milwaukee, 600; Wash-
ington, 500 ; Minneapolis and St. Paul,
6,000; Newark, 5,000.
The national forrests of the east
and south probably will have the first
work camps, containing between 20
and 100 men each.
NAVY AIRMEN SHOUTED “GOOD
LUCK” TO SHIPMATES AS
THEY FACED DEATH
NEW YORK, April 5.—Richard E.
Deal, one of the three survivors, told
______________________ _ ______ _ a friend in the Brooklyn naval hos-
script books for the department whose ! pital today that the crew of the Ak-
heads and employes travel on rail-
roads.
Will D. Pace offered an amendment
insex*ting $37,680 annually for addi-
tional rangers to be used in emergen-
cies. Purl and T. J. Holbrook px-o-
tested on the ground that the gov-
ernor can use the deficiency privilege
to pay rangers and the national guard
appropriation if troops are called out.
Pace and W. M. Martin thought the
better policy would be to provide
emergency funds instead of using de-
ficiency warrants. Pace comes from
Tyler, the East Texas oil center
where Governor Sterling used troops
for months in martial law control of
the oil fields. His amendment was
tabled, 15 to 12.
John W. Hornsby offered an amend-
ment limiting highway resident and
division engineers to eighteen. The
bill fixed no total. Holbrook said
Hornsby was trying to cripple the
department and Hornsby retorted
that Holbrook was playing favorites
as he was placing limits on the num-
ber of employes in all other depart-
ments.
“Best System in Country.”
Purl opposed the amendment and
directed attention to the near com-
pletion of a $500,000 highway depart-
ment building in Austin, saying it
ofiginated at an Austin luncheon club
and that it ill became an Austin leg-
islator to cripple the department. He
also said it was an attempt to con-
centrate power and state employes
in Austin.
Politics entered the argument when
Roy Sanderford referred to the poli-
tical army of highway employes and
Purl replied in kind. Purl chided
Sanderford for administration incon-
sistency on the ground that it fav-
ored an appointive oil commission
and an elective highway commission
and asked if that was not politics.
Whether the highway department has
too many or too few engineers was
discussed by several senators.
Grady Woodruff complimented the
department as the best organized in
the state and as directing the finest
system of highways of any state in
the country. He defended it against
the charge of playing politics.
. Laid Off as Engineer.
It was brought out that a son-in-
law of Hornsby had been laid off
with several others employed in the
highway engineering department be-
cause of reduced income and the con-
sequent necessity of economizing.
Woodruff’s motion to table Horns-
by’s amendment was adopted, 19 to
5, killing it. Hornsby came back with
an amendment forbidding the use of
any highway funds in the construc-
tion of buildings and it also was
tabled.
WASHINGTON, April 5.—Mobili-
zation of the first 25,000 recruits for
the conservation corps will be started
tomorrow with four government de-
partments speeding preparations in
efforts to carry out President Roose-
velt’s attack on unemployment.
At the white house, orders were
issued for the war department to be
ready for the first movement of men
tomorrow but it was learned at the
labor department the initial recxruits
will not enter conditioning camps un-
til Friday and Saturday.
More Cities Listed.
Allotments for the first contingent
or 25,000 men from 17 cities in the
eastern half of the nation were com-
ron died calling out cheery farewells
to each other as, one by one, they
gave up their fight against the rough
sea and drowned after the crash.
“Well, goodbye!” he said he heard
them say. And:
“Good luck to you—Wherever
you’re going.”
“At first,” Deal said, “the water
was full of men, swimming around.
When the lightxxing flashed, I could
see their heads.
“But they began to go down, one
by one. And I could hear them call-
ing to each other as they gave up.”
Deal told his story early today,
before he left for Washington, to
George Small, a fellow-patient. Small,
a former marine, and Deal were on
the same ship, several years ago.
Deal said he was standing on a
cross catwalk, near the center of the
huge bag when the Akron crashel.
“She hit on her starboard side,”
he said, “and, as the water came in, I
was washed out through a big tear
in the bag, on the port side.
“I swam around for 10 or 15 min-
utes. It was terrible going—rain,
thunder and lightning, rough sea. All
around me, at first, I could see heads
when the lightning flashed.
“But they kept disappearing, and
pretty soon there weren’t any more.
And I could hear the men calling out
to each other, ‘well, goodbye,' and
‘good luck to you, wherever you’re
going.'
“I was just about to go down my-
self when an empty gas tank came
along. I grabbed hold of that, and
about half an hour later I was pick-
ed up.”
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
NATION TO MOBILIZE
25,000 RECRUITS FOR WORK
More than 25,000 of the deaths
which totaled 29,000 in 1932 resulted
from automobile accidents which oc-
curred whexx the direction of travel
of cars was straight ahead. From
this fact the conclusion may be drawn
that if more operators paid strict at-
tention to their tasks and used or-
dinary prudence, many accidents
would not happen. Of course a dri-
ver can not appx-oach an intersection
at a rapid rate of speed and expect
to stop within a few feet. A driver
can not approach a curve at a rapid
i-ate of speed and be sure of keeping
his car under perfect control. A dri-
ver can not cut in and out of traffic
and expect always to get safely back
into line. There must be an exhibit
of ordinary care—the exercise of or-
dinary personal responsibility.—De-
port Times.
Exactly. The exercise of personal
responsibility. And to exercise per-
sonal responsibility one must exer-
cise his personal brains, not depend-
ing on the brains of the appx’oaching
or passing driver, who may not have
any. The reason why a drunken dri-
ver is as dangerous as a savage with
a sword is because the drunken dri-
ver’s brains, if any, do not function
normally. An intoxicated man is, for
the time being, equivalent to a luna-
tic. What makes a lunatic looney is
his inability to reason adequately,
which is identically characteristic of
the drunken man. Unbalanced brains
in both cases. If 3.2 per cent is non-
intoxicating, sober drivers will have
nothing to fear from beered drivers.
Both will be sober. Yet if the 3.2
bx-ew should prove to be unsettling
to. the consumer’s skull marrow, then
the beered driver will be a feared
driver. It is too early at the pres-
ent moment to say what effect beer
will have on automobiling. It may

Here is one way to tell the story of how
the cost of home electric service has been
reduced since 1928. Today the average cus-
tomer in Lampasas buys over 50 per cent
more home electric service than in 1928 for
the same amount of money.
Electric service rates have LED the down-
ward march in the cost of living. Practically
all other items in the cost of operating a
home have seen high levels since the last
"low price” period of 1914, but the cost of
electric service has been consistently re-
duced.
Electric rates are not only LOWER today
than ever before, but the present low rate
schedule permits the use of electrical appli-
ances to lessen the task of housekeeping ...
bring comfort in summer-and winter to all
members of the family and to furnish enter-
tainment and joy from the "early bird”
program until the radio announcer says

-PUEBLO INDIAN WOMAN
WHIPPED BECAUSE OF
HER BELIEF IN BIBLE
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M„ April 5.—
The struggle of ancient Indian tra-
dition against the white man’s reli-
gion and ways has flared anew in
the Jemez Pueblo, with the public i governor and explained to him the
dian, freedom of religion.
The 25-year-old victim, Mrs. An-
drea T. Frague, was charged by the
Indian council with having held a
prayer meeting at her home last week
and with having attended the Presby-
terian mission services. Mrs. Fra-
gue took her Bible to the hearing
and told the elders she believed in it.
Her punishment was five lashes on
the back.
Walter Cochrane, special attorney
for the Indians, called on the Pueblo
whipping of an Indian woman be-
cause she professed belief in the
Bible.
Hugh B. Woodward, United States
district attorney, announced charges
legal aspects of the charges. He said
he did not expect any further trouble
and Woodward announced no further
steps would be taken in the case.
Several years ago at the same
Pueblo, an aged Indian’s land waa
taken from him because he allowed
his son to use modern cultivating ms
chinex-y.
The Master of Chaos, the seria.x
story is crowded out today, but will
appear tomoxTow.
