There ought to be no confusion OF

tain forms of contracts entered into in
disregard of public rights and against
the public interests which legislatures
and courts have rightly set aside. A
contract which perpetuates a gross
wrong. or which fastens In perpetuity
an injustice upon a whole community,
or which binds only one party to the
compact, is without "sanctity" and
ought to be broken. But these are diff
ferent matters from the form of con-
tract breaking that now troubles the
business world. These are individual
refusals to fulfill an obligation to pay

due strain on the heat regulating
mechanism by holding a warm layer
of moist air next to- the. skin and thus
diminishing the loss of heat by radi-
alton and evaporation. In order to
properly assist the body to regulate
heat production and heat loss, cloth
ing should be used intelligently. The
ideal clothing for cold weather is made
of material such as wool which while
porous enough to permit adequate
ventilation of the air next to the skin
is at the same time a poor conduc-
tor of heat and thus diminishes the
loss of heat by radiation.
The unintelligent use of wooden gar
ments, however, has done great harm.
AS an example many people wear
wolen underclothes whereas it is much
better to have the wool in the over
coat or outer garment because on
coming indoors in the winter months
we quickly pass from a very low tenn
perature to one of mid summer heat
and the wooden garment should ac-
cordingly be removed and put on
again when going out.
AS a general rule, it may be stated
that "a great many more colds are
contracted by the use of too much
clothing than by too little. Especial
ly is this true among infants and
young children who are often victims
OF the ignorance of overcarefuf moth
ers.

have to go back to prehistoric times
to see that most people think more
about the fineness of the fabric, the
cut, or style than about the useful
ness of clothing. Furs in the summer
and straw hats with flowers just aft
er Christmas is sufficient evidence
that the ornamental predominates
over the useful
The most important usefulness OF
clothing lies in the fact that it helps
to regulate the loss of heat from the
body. If we wore no clothes at all
nature would still regulate our body
temperature and maintain 1t at 98 de-
grees F. This nature does in all warm
| blooded animals, throughout the year
in every climate. In this connection
clothing merely assists nature and
therefore some knowledge of the
body's heat regulating mechanism is
necessary if we desire to use clothing
intelligentIy.
The body possesses means Of con-
trolling the production of heat as well
as the loss OF heat. and under the
conditions of normal life these two
processes are balanced so as to main
tain constant body temperature no
matter what the temperature of the
outside air.
The body losses heat chieT1y in
several ways: Wis, through the expired

the skin, by conduction and by radia.-
ton from the skin
The body regulates heat production
by increasing or decreasing the pro-
cess OF oxidation. The taking of more
1000 or muscular exercise will in
crease oxidation and therefore produce
heat
The amount of perspiration eyap-
GRATED from the skin and the amount
OF warm blood sent through the Skin,
is controlled by the nervous system
In, warm weather the secretion Of
sweat is increased by reflex stimuIa-
ton OF the sweat nerves. The greater
amount of water so produced REQUIRES
greater amount of heat to vaporize

Dock and Belt Line Bonds


Editor Journal:
There are many people talking
about the dock and belt bonds who
do not know anything about how this
was started and the different condi-
tions. Now the belt is an entirely diff
ferent proposition froms the original
one. The late Col. Frank L. Mayes was
the originator Of the belt line move.
and his idea was to run the line around
the entire city. believing that 1t would
build up the section north of the city,
and to have a boulevard on the west
bank of Texar Bayou and down the
bay front, and anyone going to the
bayou will find under the L. & ". tres
tie concrete viaduct put in, antici-
pating the boulevard. AS the matter
now stands we have 100000 voted for
a belt line. the original of which has
passed out of existence. This means
that one-fourth of whatever is OBJ
tanned by the sale of the bonds is for
belt line and cannot be diverted
Now let us get this in a shape that a
better bid may be secured, if it can be
legally done. Let the next legislature
authorize better rate of interest. If
it has not that power, then call another
election and vote the 100000 for the
docks and save such a heavy loss. ad-
vertising so much and a fearful dis
count. If Mr.. McLaughlin's spur track
on "A street could be completed to
Goulding the city would have a per-
feet belt.

Cancellation of Contracts.


Wholesalers and manufacturers are
complaining because a number of re-
tailers are cancelling contracts or or
derrs for goods. They claim that the
cancellations have assumed such pro
portions that they are compelled to
shoulder great losses or pass the losses
on to the public. Organizations of job
bers and manufacturers are being
formed to discourage or refuse cancel
lations unless necessary to prevent
bankruptcy OF the retailers. Concerns
in England already are refusing to al
low cancellations.
In their effort to make out A case
for themselves, certain jobbers and
manufacturers are asserting that the
retailers who are cancelling orders are
welchers, in that it is alleged that
they are not willing to stand their por-
ton of OF loss when there is slack
demand for the goods or a falling mar
ket.
This stand is hardly justified
Inc cancellation of orders is not a
sudden, panicky stampede of retailers
to save their skins regardless of any
legal or moral rights involved in con-
tracts for the delivery of goods.
On the contrary the making of can
ceilations by retailers is a practice of
long standing. 1t is a practice which
has grown up with the consent of
practically all, if not all, iobbers and
manufacturers, and in some cases
with their encouragement. The cancel
lation privilege is one of the talking
points used by some statesmen to Sc
cure orders. They have made it plain
to retailers that if the latter should
contract for certain goods they could
return them or cancel the orders IL
unforeseen circumstances should arise
rendering such a course advisable.
Since it has been almost a general
custom to make cancellations, it APP
pears that merchants have regarded
this practice as an implied part of
contracts or orders for goods.
However, no matter how unfortun-
ate the existence of the cancellation
practice may be, it appears clear that
the jobbers and manufacturers are
wrong in trying to place all the blame
on the retailer.-Oklahoman (Oklaho-
ma City,.

Morality in Business.

Governor Coolidge in an address in
New York on Saturday dwelt with es-
pecial emphasis upon one phase OF
the business life of today that is re-
ceiving the serious attention OF sober
minded folk who are old-fashioned
enough to cherish the belief that NOR
ality is still the basis of permanent
success. That phase has to do with the
gradual weakening of public faith in
what is known as the "sanctity OF
contracts" a term that is quite as Of
ten abused is 1t is used in its proper
meaning When business men imagine
that they can with irnpunity break
contract or agreement whenever they
find it to their interest to do so, they
strike at the very root of all CONNER
cial intercourse and destroy that basis
of confidence and mutual respect
without which the whole commercial
and economic structure would speedily
fall to pieces.
How many men in business have
given any serious thought to the dis
astrous effect OF the recent malifes-
tation of this spirit of indifference to
the sanctity of contracts that has
taken the form of cancellation OF Or
ders? Even their own self-interest
would dictate a different policy, aside
from the moral aspects of the deliber-
ate reputation of orders. because in
the long run no one member of the
social and business structure can hope
to escape from the consequences Of the
widespread adoption of so vicious a
practice. BY destroying confidence in
the stability of trade relations trade it

yious that it is hardly a matter for

Press Comment
Tho Opinion of Mr.. Buford Merely
Complicates Affairs


attorney general, on the constitution
atty of chapter 1884, acts of 1917, an
act dealing with the compensation OF
county fee officers, has added new
aspect 20 the already complicated sit
uation. Neither the officers charged
with the operation of the act or the
officers who are to be its victims
know exactly where they are. I'm
less the supreme court agrees to take
up the matter before it reaches that
point where it might be brought into
the courts it might be brought into
is every likelihood that the intent
and purpose of the act may not be in
terrupted fully for some time TO come.
There is a little chance that unless
the attorney general agrees to join in
friendly suit with the officers OF
various counties who have Joined in a
movement to attack the constitution
atty and validity of the act that the
supreme court will even consider the
institution of proceedings before that
tribunal
The so-calIed Carlton bill, passed by
the 1917 legislature. intended to cut
down the salaries of county officers
in larger counties receiving their COM
peDsation through the collection Of
fees for services performed. The au-
thor intended, no doubt, that there
should be no salaries of county Off
GERS in excess of that of the governor
or other high state officers, and Ger
tainly not much more. But 1t was a
big undertaking. Defects in the law
have cropped up. County commission
ers who are charged with operation
of the law in their respective coun-
ties are as much at loss as to their
full authority under the law as the
fee officers are. The attorney general
admits that the act failed to specify
where any excess money paid over to
the county board by county officials,
after the deduction of salaries and
expenses, should go. The law is not
clear at all on the point. If it was
intended that the excess should go
into the general fund, should it go to
the state or county general fund
Then to muddy the water the attor-
ney general has advised it to be his
opinion that the only logical thing to
do with the excess would be to APP
portion it properly among those pay
ing fees for the period.
That this is impractical goes with
out saying. 1t would mean the en-
ploying of, a half dozen more audi
tors and perhaps scores of clerks
in each county to carry out the
work and after the expense incident to
this reapportionment should have
been met there is every probability
that there would have been little left
for refunding purposes to those who
paid fees to the various officers.
This certainly could not have
been the intention of the author of
the act. He certainly must have
meant to have the money turned back
to some general fund and after see
ing the law in operation for several
years arrive at some basis for cutting
down the fees for various services if
practical.
The situation must be exceedingly
trying for all who are thrown in con-
tact with the law, and If there is any
possible chance for the supreme court
to take up the suit testing the con-
stitutionality of the act it would be
rendering a public service il so do
