WEEKLY BUDGET Of
ITEMS FROM JENNINGS
(By Our Staff Correspondent

NJ. C.. Holt has returned from
Baton Rouge where he addressed
the committee on education at the
Constitutional Convention.
In his address Mr.. Holt declared
that he favored the election of
state and parish schools super
intendent by popular vote, and
throughout it would do away with
petty politics that now exists in
many parish school boards.
He also advocated the creation
of Seperate school districts where
there is an accredited high school
and a population of over 5000.
This separate board would have
the power to manage the affairs
of the district.
A further suggestion. made by
Mr.. Holt was the division of the
state school tax between parishes
and local school districts in pro-
portion to the number of children
school, and not in
proportion to the number of edu-
cables.

A Grateful Letter

1t is in trying conditions like that
related below by Mrs. Geo. L. North
of Naples, N. Y. that proves the
worth of Chamberlain's Collie and
Diarrhoea Remedy. 1.-TWO years ago
last summer" she says ''our little boy
had dysentery. At that time we were
living in the country eight miles from
a doctor. Our son was taken i'll sud-
denly and was about the sickest child
I ever saw. He was in terrible pain
all the time and passed from one con-
vulsion into another. l sent my hus-
band for the doctor and after he was
gone thought of a bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy
in the cupboard. l gave him some of
it and he began to improve at once.
By the time the doctor arrived he was
out of danger"

1.-THE MOVIES"

THE toy zoetrope was the grand
father of the motion-picture ma
chine of today. The oldest in
vention was one of these toys, patent
ed by w. e. Lincoln, 1857. In 1859
0. B. Brown patented a machine which
projected moving pictures" from a
series of glass plates. Muybridge, in
1880. also produced a glass-plate ma
chine. M. Marcy, Of the French in
stitute, first used the continuous film,
and Lumiere, in 1893, invented the
acknowledgement" The first real ma
chine came to America in 1894, and
one Edward Hadley is supposed to
have the honor Of being the first mo-
tion-picture operator in America.

Texas Anti-Alien
 Land Bill Passed


 AUSTIN. Texas, March 9. The anti-alien land ownership bill re- stricting aliens ineligible to citizen ship from owning or acquiring lanI in Texas was passed to engrossment iE the house today. The bill origi- mated in the senate. where it passed with little opposition The house substituted an amendment making the measure more definite.
 The bill is intended to prohibit Jap anese from acquiring land in Texas. The amendment as explained by it's author, provides for similar discrim- ination against all other aliens Those mother nations refuse to allow citi- zens of the United States to acquire land there.
 The amendment eXempts aliens who are bonafide inhabitants of Tex as when the law takes effect and those who have declared their inten- ton of becoming naturaliZed citizens. It also eXempts aliens from nations that have a common land boundary with the United tSates. namely. Can ada and Mexico.
