PROHIBITION WINS IN TEXAS
Ahead in Election-Refuse Raise
to Governor.

Dallas, Tex, May 27.-Texas has
adopted equal suffrage and constitu-
tional prohibition, according to re-
turns from Saturdays election. Many
counties have not reported and the
returns will not be complete before
Monday or possibly the middle of the
week. Returns complete from 100 out
of 24O counties give, for prohibition,
81, 467; against prohibition, 1854 for
suffrage, 57,76S; against suffrage, 81
7S9. The land amendment appears to
have been adopted, but the PROPOSE
ton to increase the governors salary
was defeated on the face of returns so
far received.

LUNG DISEASES
LEAD ARMY ILLS
Estimated That There Are 49,
600 Cases Which Will Re-
quire Supervision.
FOLLOW CANADIAN SYSTEM
Major Amputation Cases in United
States Forces Put at 3,034-Each
Case Has Its Own Problem
Re-education for Many.

Washington.-Out of 7,710 cases Of
discharged disabled men from army,
navy and marine corps whose cases
have been passed upon by the war risk
insurance bureau, and who therefore
are eligible for free vocational refrain
ing by the federal board for vocational
education, 2,791, or 362 per cent have
tuberculosis, or lung complaints.
The federal board stated it is in
formed that first and last, there will be
between 10000 and 10000 tuberculo-
sis cases. Not all of them will re-
quire vocational retraining, but the
number expected is large.
These cases will be handled on a
separate basis from the rest Of the in
jured and disabled men, and will re-
quire constant supervision and medi-
cal attention to insure the arreSting
of the disease and complete restora-
ton to health.
This is the primary consideration,
and training will be only such during
this period as to furnish enough occu-
patton to keep the patient busy, con-
tented and hopeful.
Follow Canadian System
Canada has been very successful in
dealing with her tuberculous army
men, and the Canadian system will in
many particulars be followed by the
federal board with men of the United
States forces.
The old idea that a man recovered
from tuberculosis should do nothing
but Out-of- doors work is exploded and,
according to the federal board, there is
a great variety of indoor occupations
he can follow with perfect safety, pro-
vided his living and working cOndi-
tons are proper.
According to official advices the to-
tai Of major amputatiOn cases" in the
United States forces to date is 3,O34
of which 2,308 are arm and leg cases,
and of these approximately 600 are
arm amputations and 1,7O8 are leg am
putations. The remaining 726 are
hands, feet, and two or more fingers.
Each Case Has Own Problem.
Not all of these men require spe
cial training to enable them to make
a living. the federal board for vOca-
tional education points out; in fact,
the percentage is smaller than one
would imagine. A lawyer, doctor,
craftsman, bookkeeper, dentist, stenog-
rapher, office man or salesman is not
necessarily affected unfavorably in
making a living by reason of having
lost a leg; but the loss of an arm may
be very serious matter.
Those who in the main require re-
education on account of leg or arm
amputations are farmers, artisans
whose trades require great activity,
such as carpenters, transfers, struc'
tural iron workers and the like.
There are no hard and fast rules,
and cannot be for each case must be
judged on it's own merits, as, for in
stance, that of a professional violin
list, who, having lost finger joint of
his left hand, found his occupation
wholly gone and had to learn to do
something else for a living.

London, May 26-Harry Hawker
and Lieutenant Commander Grievc,
who started 3 week ago on transat-
lantic air flight from Newfoundland to
Ireland, were rescued by the Danish
steamer Mary, bound for Horsens
Denmark.
The Mary reported that she had
picked up the two flyers Monday in
latitude 1920 north longitude 29.3O
west, approximately half way between
Newfoundland and the coast of Ire
land, for which they headed after leav-
ing st. Johns.
The airplane had been forced to de-
scend close to the steamer because Of
stOppage of circulation in the water
pipe leading to the radiator. The
steamer happened along in the nick of
time, because the plane could not have
lived long in the turbulent sea and the
lifebOat cOntrivance would have been
of little avail.
The airplane was abandoned. Both
men are reported to be in perfect
| health.
Ship Going to Denmark.
Lloyds received a message from
Butt of Lewis that the Danish steam
er Mary signaled, Saved Hands Sop

The steamer was asked: "Is it

London Goes Mad With Joy.
London, May 26.-Like news from
beyond the grave came the report that
Harry G. Hawker and Lieutenant
Commander Mackenzie Grieve had been
picked up at sea by a Danish ship.
The glad tidings spread through the
city like Wildfre and was greeted with
wild demonstrations Of JOY everywhere.
The greatest demonstration of all took
place in the village of Surbiton, where
Hawker has his home.
HaWker's wife was OverjOyed at the
announcement Of her husbands res
cue.
II knew he'd come back" she said
to the Universal Service correspond
ent who had called at the cottage. II
had a presentiment he was not dead
all the time. Oh, I'm the happiest
woman in the world. Harry can fly
across the Atlantic again any time he
wants to. I'm sure his good luck will
continue"
The Mary is a small steamship with

Stormy weather along the northern

Big Storm on Course
It had been reported a storm Of ire
mendOus violence was raging along the
course of Hawkers flight last Mon
day morning, and it was supposed the
plane must have fallen to the sea in
attempting to buck it's way through
the cyclOnic winds.
London had absolutely give UP hope
for the safety of the ayiators; the
matter had been taken up in parlia-
ment and the government had been Sc
verely criticized for sending "two gal
liant gentlemen" to their death because
of it's failure to take any measures to
insure their safety, although the sue
cess of their enterprise would have
redounded to the glory Of the nation.

MOONLIGHT SCHEDULE
Too Much Schedule and Not Enough
Moonlight, Nor Amy Other
Light

The city of Ocala has what is called
a moonlight schedule for its electric
lights-that is, the lights are not sup
the moon goes down.
That is all right when we have full
moonlight, but not when the moon
looks like a slice of watermelon that
has just emerged from a seance with
an Afro-American.
Last night, when the sun went
down, there was a little 25-watt piece
of moon hanging by its horns to the
western sky. Consequently, the street
lights were not turned on, and the
town was in dense darkness until
after II o'clock.
The little section of moon gave
light enough, if one was out in an
open field, to keep him from stepping
on his feet, but in the shadow of the
trees and houses, it was the same as
no moon al all. Such as it was, it
soon let loose and fell down behind
the western horizon, but even then
there were no street lights.
1t was so dark on the streets,
shaded as they nearly all are by big
trees, that people could hardly see
their hands before their faces. Peo-
pie going to church or going back
home, had almost to feel their way.
There were a number of strangers in
town, and if any of them went to
church it was because some of the
town people took them by the hands
and led them, and no Ocalan could
have found the way unless he or she
knew it well enough to walk it blind
folded.
Then, after IL o'clock, when every
body had gone to bed, on came the
lights, to shine on the deserted streets
until morning.
This kind of business is an imposi-
ton on our home people and a bad
advertisement to our visitors. The
people pay enough for the lights. Let
them have them when they need them,
and not after midnight. If they are
not to have any lights, let the council
put them on notice, so they can carry
lanterns, and property owners can
put up lampposts with kerosene lamps
so their friends can find them after
dark

Mr.. ]. III. Spencer Attends an Enthus-

In an interview today with Mr.. j,
H. Spencer, local distributor for Buick
motor cars, who returned last night
from a meeting of all the Buick deal
ers under the Atlanta branch, held in
Atlanta, January 3rd, he states that
Buick prices from January 1st to the
end of the 1919 season will not be
subject to further changes.
"The most enjoyable and profitable
meeting | have ever attended was
this one in Atlanta. Every Buick
dealer there has enjoyed fine busi-
ness during the past year and the
plans for 1919, as unfolded to US by
Mr.. E. T. Strong, general sales man.
ager, and Mr.. George d. McCutcheon,
manager, Atlanta branch, insure an
even greater opportunity during the
coming year.
"Mr. Strong stated that there had
been considerable speculation as to
what the Buick Motor Company
would do regarding prices, for at the
close of the war uncertain conditions
prevailed regarding the price of and
the ability to secure sufficient guam
titles of raw material. These had to
be closely investigated before the
company would feel justified in max
ing any price revision.
However, the company has made
a revision of prices, effective Janu-
ary 1st, which shows they were able
TO clear up the situation very quickly,
and am sure Buick product will en-
Joy an even wider demand in future,
for Buick quality so well known at
present prices is an unusual invest
ment.
"The large factories of the Buick
Motor Company were an important
factor in meeting government needs
for war material, but there are out of
the way now, and increased produc-
ton is planned for 1919. OF course,
Mr.. Strong promises every dealer that
as soon as possible the company plans
to more fully care for the constantly
growing demand and enable dealers
to better care for their respective
customers in the matter of prompt
deliveries.
