GULF HIGHWAY
now PL AIMED.
Good Roads Party is to Tour
State of Texas to In
spect Route.

| HOUSTON, Texas, July 25-Tc
'blaze the way for an improved high
way from DEM son 237 miles south
to the Gulf, a good roads party is
en- tour Texas in three automobiles
mapping the topography for the
route. BY coincidence the start was
made from the North during the re-
cent rainy season and as, a conse-
quence the autos most of the way
through north Texas pulled Though
mud up to the hubs From Waller,
well IN south Texas, to the Gulf,
the going was easy for every road
encountered through Harris county
to the Gulf IS of shell. smooth and
hard as a beach auto track.
The tour is intended for two pur-
poses, one being to log the route
and the second to interest the cities
and towns along the way in the
matter OF road Improvement. The
tour was undertaken by the Gulf
Coast Good Roads Association, re-
Gently organized and the effort ulti-
mately will result in two stretches
of good roads spanning Texas ira
each direction.
There is already nearing com
plstlon a shell highway from New
Orleans to Houston and San Anto-
MO. The greater part OF this road
is completed, only few gaps in
Louisiana and one in Texas yet to
be closed. Bonds were recently
voted for the Texas project. which
assures the completion of this end
OF the highway.
The Dennison to the Gulf highway
is proposed to cross the state dag
onally with the New Orlans-GIous-
ton-sap Antonio. Much interest was
displayed during the tour OF thcl
pa thfnders, and assurances were
given OF state wide support for the

AMUSING DEFECTS
OF TEXA SAJTOLAW
One of Which is Requirement
to Burn Lights Nearly
All Day.

HOUSTON. Texas, Luiy 2.5-The
fifteen thousand or more automo,
bile owners OF Texas may not he
conscious of the fact that every time
they take their cars out FOL
a spin IN broad day light they
are violating state law and the
penal code, They may not believe
THAT it is necessary to start at least
one lamp aglow while the sun is
shining but unless they do so they
are tempting arrest and prosecution
| in the eyes of the law
The automobile law of Texas is
much like laws Of many other states
in which errors creep in and make
the whole ridiculous. According to
the Texas automobile law autOn1o-
biles or motor vehicles are exempt
from burning Fight only two hours
out of each twenty-four. The ex-
Icmpted time is one hour before and
one hour after sunrise. The law is
plain, 1t is as follows:
art. 1913. S. CID. Sec O.
Bel, etc. and Lamp-Every driver
or operator of an automobile or
motor vehicle shall have attached
thereto a suitable bell or other APP
Dliance for giving notice OF its ap-
proach so that when such attach
ment is wrung or otherwise oper-
atsd it may be heard distance of
three hundred feet, and shall carry,
a lighted lamp between one hour
after and one hour before sunrise"
Such is the law. The "rule OIL
reason" may be applied when inter-
Ipreting the final line so as to make
the law reed between one hour af-
ter sunset and one hour be-
fore sunrise" yet the law
maker, the legislature, the
expressing clerk or the print ter
may have dropped or forgotten the
sunset end of tat least, it is
law without sunset. The law might
pass muster in corporation and
lower courts, but in an appeal court
where technlcality oftimes swaysl
a destiny, 1t undoubtedly would run
aEouI a test of constituionality.
The city of Houston has traffic
ordinance wherein the defect isl
remedied and where sunset" ap-I
pears. This ordnance is correct, |
yet it is gnerally understood the
laws of a municipality can not con-
travene those OF the commonwealth.
Yet the law and the ordinance are
at variance.
The law abiding motorists, to keep
within both laws, must maintain a
light burning ON the car 30 ont OF
"a hours or keep his car in thet
garage. In Houston the ordinance
IS weH observed yet the state law

He says:
How often does n hear the re.
mark, How tired l am of dressing

II have made the same remark my
self, and of late have simplifed tho
minor details Of my daily routine con-
siderably.
why should we all undress and
take off all our clothes every night,
with the consequent %redressing in the
morning? Why?
Il have lived on board ship and in
the tropics, in Canada, and in the des-
ert of Arabia, and 1 say this, that I

at night, put on cold pajamas and got
into colder sheets, and shiver During
the cold weather) for ten minutets or
more, with the knowledge that in the
morning I have to dress once again
and am supposed to have a bath.
II cannot for the life of me see why
two hot evening baths per week
should not be sufficient for anybody
and personally I have quite given UP
undressing at night, with the excep-
ton, as I said before. Of boots, collar
and coat.
1T is we'll known that men who
rough it, who sleep in their clothes,
and who have not the eternal worry
Of dressing and undressing, of cold
baths, cold sheets, starched collars
and all the paraphernalia of the

freer, healthier and stronger than

that it shall not be enforced until the
President is satisfied and has issued
proclamation to the effect that paper

the provinces Of Canada, is in full

stood by the commissioners from both
countries who prepared the treaty,

to suppress the facts that were of
news value.
Bruce Haldeman, president of the
publishers association and Frank ID.

terest which the newspapers of the
country have in the matter, Mr.. Rid

manufacturer trust which now has
the publishers at its mercy. "The
readers OF the country would benefit

cause the money saved on paper

UFER NOT Worrying
ABOUT Grand JURY
III FLYNN-MORRIS BOUT Is NOT
WANTED HERE HE WILL
TAKE III ELSEWHERE

Following the announcement that
Judge l.. NJ. Poe of the district court
had instructed the grand jury to make
an investigation Of the boxing contests
which have been held In Tulsa county
and the statements of Judge Poe re-
lative to the Flynn Morris match to
be held at this place on July 4, senti-
ment ran rife yesterday,
Judge Poe took a long shot at box
ing. lie asked that indictments be
returned against the participants and
promoters and all others concerned
In the boxing contests held at Tulsa
and in Tulsa county.
on this question alone, there is
more interest than on almost any
other edict set by Judge Poe. The
Morris-Flynn contest has been far
heralded, and has already been a
great advertisement for Tulsa.
When questioned about the matter
last night, Il. B. Ufer, manager of
Carl Morris, who is promoting the
contest said that he had already
stated that II the people of Tulsa did
not want the contest he would not
force II on them. Offers for the con-
test have come In from all directions,
he stated
Mr. Ufer related that he does not
believe the contest which is to be held
on July 4 Will come under the head
Of prize fight. 1t Is just a contest
SO he says. A prize fight must be TO
hnlhs, with no limit, to be a prize
fight he claims there is to be a
limit to the Morris-Flynn contest.
Mr. ufer states that his is not wor-
rying IN the least about what the
grand Jury does.
lie lntimates that II he decides not
to stage the match at Tulsa It will
probably not be held in Oklahoma, he
having flattering offers from each
coast.
