The Congressional situation.

San Antonio, Texas, August 81
That the entire state of Texas will
have an unusual interest in the cleo
ton of congressman one year hence
is made plain by the failure of the
legislature in called session to re-
district the state for congressional
purposes According to the late cen
sus, Texas is entitled to eighteen
congressman, but havirsrbut sixteen
districts, two members of the lower
national house will be elected at
large This will be an unusual eX
perience in Texas and to very
great extent is the result of too
many men in the state haxing con
gressional bees in their bonnets. An
effort was made at redistricting, but
no plan would fit the aspirations or
the great number of men who are
anxious to go to congress. This new
situation will add an
other interest to Texas politics and
it may. or may not, have some in
fuence on the senatorial situation.
To say the least, it will put KIND of
ginger in Texas politics that has
been absent heretofore.

If the organs wish 10 be consistent
why don't they jump on Senator Cul-
berson and all the members of the
house from Texas for voting for the
free list bill? Why applaud Senator
Bailey for fighting the bill, and at
the same time have no word of criti-
cism for Culberson and all the 9th
ers who favored it?

fact that piece Of machinery, such

which affects cylinders. gear boxes,
clutch chambers, interspaces in ball
bearings. and SO forth.

AN AMBITIOUS MOTHER

Up to the time the hair hanging
down her back was coiled up. and her
dresses lowered to her shoe tops. Miss
Irene Nixon enjoyed life. She had
her childish diversions and her play
mates. and II she also had her disap-
pointments they were not bitter ones.
Her widowed mother belonged to the
middle class, and she had Just fair
income.
Then things changed almost in a
day. 1t was legacy to the mother
that did 1t. 1t disclosed side Of her
character that on one had suspected.
Miss Irene was at once forbidden to
associate with this one and that one,
and when the list had been culled out
she found herself standing almost
alone. She must hereafter act SO and
80. and she must hereafter not act
80 and 70. Where she had chummed
with q girl she must now give her
only distant bow. Where she had
walked home from school with this or
that boy. she must now pass him as II
unaware Of his existence. That money
was to make all the difference In the
world. The daughter understood that
money was q good thing to have. but
she could not understand why 1t
should almost outlaw her. In forming
friendships she had never considered
the money side of the question. She
had Judged by character instead Of
wealth.
None Of the Widow Nixon's friends
had ever considered her ambitious in
= social way. Perhaps that feature
was lying dormant. At any rate, she
had scarcely counted the money left
her by rich sister when social am
bition came to the surface to work
great changes.
She decided almost at once that the
daughter could not be exclusive
enough at home to finish her educa-
tion. and the girl was sent to = board
Ing school where exclusion was tho
motto. Then came the family tree.

Mn. Nixon had never been greatly
worried ~ to whether the Nixon fam
ny dated back to = king or a pirate.
Her husband and her husbands father
had been business men of good char
Acter. and that had sufllced her. Now
Il was different. She had the money
and she sighed for lineage.
There are so-called genealogists who
mako It their business to keep in
touch with the newly rich and furnish
them with pedigrees to match their
cash. 1t had scarcely become known
to the widows circle that she had re-
ceived . legacy when . genealogist
called. He had the look OF a pro-
lessor even to the dandruff on his coat
collar. He had been In the profession
thirty years. He had traced the an
cestors of 5000 families and hauled
them into the light OF day He had
never made = mistake. His terms
were the lowest Of any responsible
party. For the sum of $500 he would
trace the Nixons back to the cave
dwellers Of England.
The Widow Nixon agreed to the bar
gain 20 promptly that the fellow never
tOrgnve himself for not asking a thou
sand. Yes. he was commissioned to
hunt. and hunt he did. and in the
course Of ninety days he had turned In
his report and received his cash.
And from whom had the Nixons de-
scended and Jacob Nixon never sus-

not go back to the cave jewellers, but

FLYING MACHINE MADE ODD
Hugo BowI-shaped Supporting Body
Driven by PropelIers-Not Broken
Any Aviation Records.

An odd type Of flying machine has
been patented by an Ohio man, but SO
far as is generally known 1t has not
yet set any new records In aviation.
1t consists of supporting body that
resembles huge wicker bowl, or b.
sected balloon, and attached to this Is
car which contains the motor and
two propellers at opposite sides. Pre-
sumably the machine is driven up by
the propellers, the open structure af-
fording little resistance to the air, and
