LEE sATTERwHITE WORKING

Hon. Lee Satterwhc is doing cxcellcn, work
IN the Texas legislature This fact IS evidenced
IN many ways but perhaps in nothing is II ndcNcd
more fully than in the publicity being received
by him through the Associated Press and other
mediums for the dissemination OF news on the ac-
,iyies Of the legislative session. Scarcely day
has passed during the present session in which
the name OF Lee Satterwh,ie has not figured. in
the public prints.
For this character OF service the Plains Coun-
try OF Texas, is Justly proud II has been a fact
long recognized that the northwestern and west
.rn sections Of the state have had only such rec
ignition from the state as a whole. as has been
forced out through exceptional merit. The pres
IN, instance OF broad recognition is no exception
10 the general rule. Lee Saterwhite. through his
trees efforts has attracted attention to the mat
tiers for which he stands. and has drawn around
him such following that silence cannot be main
aimed BY dwellers in other sections OF the state.
This special mention Of the work being UNI
ler;aken and accomplished BY Lee Satterwhte
is no, intended 10 be mSconstrued as reflection
by unfayorabe comparison. on the activities OF
The other members OF the legislature from this
ectior, OF the state. On the contrary. general

of all members from this territory. 1t is good
work and the men as well as the specific dis
,ric,s from which they were sent, are to be con
graduated.
All Of the western portions OF Texas will
sooner or later have recognition. but il seems
that il will come as result OF irresistible force

Early Methods Were Primitive, but
Some Sort of Reckoning Always

Today when We glance at our
watches and ascertain TO the second
the correct time, we do not stop t"
think of the first awkward methods
used by primitive man. In the earliest
days, man divided the time int" wv"
periods. the day and the night. The
day was then separated into sunrise,
MONDAY and sunset, and then the
morning and AFTERNOON were further
divided by the length and position OF
the shadows. cur first $indial was a

tall shadow columns with officers to
watch them and report hourly on the
length Of the shadows. Even in tn"
Middle ages the slndal was still used
by those poor people who could not

Young America
Sends Vast Relief
To Needy Abroad

Various relief projects of the Junior
American Red Cross in European
countries resulted in helping 237 200
destitute children during the last fis-
cal year, according to the annual re-
port of the American Red Cross for
that period. The growth of the activi-
ties of the Juniors abroad is mani
tested by a comparison which shows
this figure is 100000 larger than that
Of the previous fiscal year.
The National Children's Fund raised
by school children, members of the
Junior American Red Cross, was
drawn upon for $42O,557 for these prof.
ects Receipts for the National Chill
dren's Fund during the last fiscal year
totalled $l55,317.
