Long awaited but well worth the
waiting for, “The Cock Eyed World,”
Rou'l Walsh’s masterful Fox Movie-
tone effort opens at the Leroy to-
night.
Since the advent of talking pictures,
no production has come to this city
with such glorious acclaim from all
parts of the country as this achieve-
ment of Movietone, which by the way
is an all talking picture.
Based on a story by Laurence Stal-
lings and Maxwell Anderson, who co-
authored the memorable “What Price
Glory” it features Victor McLaglen,
Edmund Lowe and Lily Damita—Lowe
and McLaglen again the fighting ma-
rines but now, in times of peace, con-
fining their chief battles to passage
at arms over their various ladyloves.

DRY MEMBERS SCORE
VICTORY ON MONEY BILL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—The bang,
bang, bang of the gavel provided
staccato accompaniment to sharp pro-
hibition debate in the House Satur-
day as dry members successfully de-
fended and subsequently had the
House approve the $15,000,000 ap-
marines to Russia, to the tropics and Propriation carried in the treasury-
to New York and Coney Island. Lily j post»fflce bl“ fo* Prohibition enforce-
Damita, more fascinating than ever,
is their girl! of the tropics; Lelia
Kamelly their Russian girl and Bary
Jean Bary their New York girl.
“The Cock Eyed World” hast every
ingredient that makes for real pas-
time: humor, sparkling dialogue, hec-
tic love scenes, tense drama and a
happy combination of all those things
that appeal, from the screen, espec-
ially to the feminine sex.
The supporting cast is excellent,
with El Brendel, former star of musi-
cal comedy and vaudeville, reaping
plenty of honors with his incomparable
portrayal of a Swede Marine, “Olson.”
Joe Brown and Bobby Burns also have
important roles. I

TEXAN SPEAKS AT A
DRY MEETING
Detroit, Michigan, January 19.—
A defense of his proposed law to make
the buyer of liquor subject to the
same penalty as the seller was made
by Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas
in an address here Sunday.
The Senator addressed a rally which
concluded the Anti-Saloon League’s
national convention.
“We need to make but few examples
of the high-brows who think they are
above the law in order to smash the
bottom out of bootleg market,” the
Texas asserted.
“Too often, he said, “buyers are per-
sons of standing, using the exemption
accorded them by thq law as an ex-
cuse for its moral infraction. It is
true that in punishing possession we
get the purchasers by one foot. If
there is any one we need to get by both
feet however, it is the individual of
high standing, who flaunts and defies
the law.”
A large part of the Senator’s speech
was occupied with praise of prohibi-
tion as a benefit to humanity. When
it was written into the Constitution,
he said, “we demonstrated the Consti-
tution was made for man and not man
for the Constitution.”
The rally closed a convention which
expressed repeatedly its approval of
the policies of President Hoover and
its conviction the sincerity of those
who have charge of the enforcement
of the prohibition law for the Federal
Government.
FORTY-SEVEN INDICTED
BRAJDY, Jan. 19.—The grand jury
hasj adjourned after a two-week ses-
sion, during which forty-seven felony
indictments were returned. District
Judge E. J. Miller announced it would
likely require a six-week term of
court next time to dispose of the cases
on thei. docket instead] of the regular
term of three weeks.
A. R. Harvey, who was taken very
seriously sick Saturday night, was
taken to a Temple hospital Monday
afternoon in a Briggs-Gamel ambu-
lance.
ment.
There was no] vote on the proposi-
tion although it was the center of a
controversy, lasting nearly three
hours, during which members of all
parts of the chamber were jumping
to their feet clamoring for recogni-
tion.
Bang, bang, bang, pounded the
presiding officer, Representative Snell
(Rep.), New York, and chairman of
the Rules Committee. Eventually out
of the confusion, the House; acted.
Before retention of the $15,000,-
000 item, Mr. Snell overruled a mo-
tion by Representative LaGuardia
(Rep.), New York, to eliminate the
appropriation on the ground that the
Eighteenth Amendment never had
been legally ratified.
LaGuardia Move Fails.
After Mr. LaGuardia lost in this
attempt no one offered an| amendment
to strike out the appropriation so it
automatically was approved when the
time agreed upon for debate expired.
Before the LaGuardia proposition
was rejected by a ruling from the
chair, Representative Linthicum
(Dem.), Maryland, was unsuccessful
with a motion which he said would
prohibit the use of poison in indus-
trial alcohol. The proposal was re-
jected by) a vote! oij 107 to 27.
Representative Sabath (Dem.),
Illinois, then offered an amendment
to prohibit the use of Government
funds by prohibition agents to pur-
chase “liquor for themselves or their
companions in any public place.” It
was quickliy turned down by a vote
of 83 to 28.
LECTURE COURSE AT
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
The Methodist Missionary Society
will meet Tuesday afternoon at 3:30
o’clock at the home of Mrs.. Harry
Easters. Mrs. M. Y. Stokesi will lead
the Bible study. '
Despitfe; the very disagreeable
weather of last evening, a' good crowd
was in attendance at the course of
talks being given this week at the
Catholic: Church. Father Bradley took
for his subject, thei true meaning of
life, and urged upon his hearers, deep-
er convictions upon our religious du-
ties, known to all, but little apprecia-
ted.
This evening, he will treat another
very important matter. He will go to
thei very heart of the difference be-
tween Catholics and those of other
faiths and of no faith at • all. God
having made a revelation to men, we
of this day and men of all times, must
come to a; thorough knowledge of it.
But by which means shall this know-
ledge be imparted? Shall it be
through] a divinely appointed church,
protected by the Holy Spirit, or shall
it be left to man himself and by his
own lghts, to read God’s word as we
find it in the Holy Book, and inter-
pret it to suit himself? This question
will be treated thoroughly, but in a
kindly spirit. The feelings of none: will
be hurt; every man’s honest opinions
will be deeply respected.)
Preceding the lecture*, questions
asked by the public and bearing on re-
ligion will be . answered. Already in-
quiries are coming in and. indications
point to a rapidly growing interest in
this means offered all, of knowing the
truth about the Catholic teaching and
practice. One may write out questions
at home or in church and deposit i^hem
in the box at the door. No names
should be signed.

AIRLINER CRASHES, 16 KILLED
4-
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Jan. 19.—A
Maddux airliner crashed near Ocean-
side 50 miles north of here, this eve-
ning and brought death to the 16
occupants.
First reports received by the sher-
iff’s office here stated: that all) of the
16 persons in the airliner, returning
to Los Angeles after a merry day at
the Auga Caliente, Mexico, race track
and gambling resort, were killed. Spec-
ial squads of deputies and several
ambulances were hurriedly dispatched
to the little northern town.
Motorists on the coast highway just
north of Oceanside said that the great
skycraft seemed to develop motor
trouble. The pilot attempted to land
in a small clearing near the road, but
when the wheels struck earth, soften-
ed by recent rains, the ship nosed
over on its back.
Motorists jammed brakes on cars
and started to run for the stricken
plane when, they said, there was a
terrific explosion which shot debris
high into the air and, in an instant
•before any of the occupants could
scramble from the twisted mass of
fabric and fuselage—the wreck was
enveloped in seething flames.
Who the dead are will not be known
for several hours, until Maddux’ of-
ficials check with their airport at
Agua Caliente. *
However, there is a likelihood that
in the list of casualties, there may
be nationally known names. The air
trip from Los Angeles to the Mex-
ican resort over the week-end is ex-
tremely populal with motion picture
stars and executives, for instance. It
is not known, though, if any were
aboard.

TWO WATER MAINS BREAK
The city has had| two water1 mains
to( break during this several days

to co-operate with the local Advisory
Board in raising funds to carry on
the work of the Salvation Army
throughout the Southwestern Diyision.
“It is generally conceded,’L^aid Mi’.
Hutchins, “that the Salvation Army
comes nearer meeting every phase of
pasas, Gordon Mackey, a former resi-
dent qf this place, together with sev-
eral Lampasas business men, took a
guaranteed course in Ventriloquism.
The course required something near
one hour to master. At the close of
the course Mr. Mackey had to leave
immediately for Temple and did not
human need than any other organiza- ] receive his diploma. However it might
tion in the world. Its practical, com-
mon sense, direct method of going
straight to the heart of a difficulty,
dealing with it with unfaltering cour-
age, intense earnestness and refresh-
ing humility, has made the name
‘Salvation Army’ a household word
significant of hope and,help over all
the world.”
The people of Lampasas have al-
ways been very generous in consid-
ering the work of the organization,
and it is hoped that all will co-operate
with) Mr. Hutchins and, the Advisory
Board in making this year’s cam-
paign the usual success.
SOUNDS LIKE “MA”
AUSTIN, Jan. 19.—About two
thousand paroles will be issued soon
by Governor Dan Moody as his first
step toward relieving crowded con-
ditions at the state penitentiary, and
the numerous prison camps scatter-
ed over Texas.
The first batch of paroles have al-
ready been issued' and more will fol-
low daily until the quota has been
reached. The governor decided to use
hisj parole power, after a visit to the
penitentiary where he found condi-
tions deplorable.
The penitentiary now houses about
5,000 convicts, two thousand more
than it was designed to care for.

FEW PERSONS TODAY WHO
ARE NOT IN A POSITION
TO SAVE MONEY
(By S. W. Straus)
Students ofl economic conditions in
this country tell us that poverty is
steadily being eliminated through the
processes of education. There was a
time within the memory of many not
living when dire poverty existed in
every city if not in every community.
The general standard of living has
been steadily advancing for the last
fifty years and conditions are such
today that there is hardly a person
anywhere who is not in a position
to save money if he so chooses.
This does not mean that all who
are able to save are doing so. There
are many who do not.
Numerous persons excuse them-
selves from practicing thrift on the
plea that they cannot save anything
and maintain a good standard of liv-
ing. While it may be true in some iso-
lated cases that circumstances over
which they have no control make it
impossible for them to get ahead in
the world, these instances are excep-
tional.
The old saying, “Where there’s a
will there’s al way,’ applies with full
force to the practice of saving money.
Those who do. not save or who think
they cannot are not fair with them-
selves. They are unwilling to make
certain sacrifices. Their minds are
baised by false pride or egotism. Their
viewpoint] is incorrect.
If they should think the problem
clear through they would determine
to find way by which they could save
something even though the amounts
be small.
Upon onej’s ability to find such
ways of, saving money, depends very
much of one’s chances of success in
life.
This is a phase of the matter that
should be giventhe deepest considera-
tion. Also it should be borne in mind
that those who are not sufficiently
interested in their own welfare to lay
by a certain portion of theii’ earnings
for the future do not care enough
about real success ever to achieve any
substantial place in the affairs of men.
Before there can be success there
must be a desire to succeed. And this
desire must be so deep that it over-
comes every barrier.
be mentioned that Mr. Mackey was
the only man in) the' Lampasas class
who sufficiently mastered the course
to warrant the award of a diploma.
On last Saturday evening Mr. Mack-
ey was back in Lampaas and the local
sales force at the Mackey Drug store
presented him with the diploma which
read as follows:-
“The University of Experience”
