ENDORSED AT HOME
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Hickman Citizen

The public endorsement of local cit
iZen is the best proof that can be pro-
duced. None better, none stronger can
be had. When a man comes forward
and testifies TO his fellow citizens, adj
dresses his friends and neighbors, you
may be sure he is thoroughly convinced
or he would not do so. Telling ones
experience when it is for the public
good is an act of kindness that should
be appreciated. The following statement.
given by a resident of Hickman, adds
one more to the many cases of Home

about Doan's Kidney Pills. Read it.

SENATEPROBE
OF DISASTER
IS PROPOSED
Widespread Investigation of
District Government Is
Also Urged Today
By The AsSoriated Press

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 80
Investigation of the Knickerbocker
thcater disaster by senate COM
mittee is proposed in n resolution
introduced today by Senator Cap
per of Kansas, member Of the sen
ATE District of Columbia committee.
Supporting the resolution, Sen
ator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey
said the investigation should be a
widespread one of the entire d's-
trict government adding that he
knew from personal knowledge that
many buildings in Washington are
fire traps which might at any
time cost scores of lives.
Il think the time has come when
& committee from congress should
be appointed to inquire into the
whole subject of enforcement of
laws in the District of Columbia" !"
Frelinghuysen declared. ''For one
thing, there is laxity of traffic
law administration. Also there is
no method whereby those driving
automobiles are examined in regard
to their qualifications for driving.
Proportionately there are twice as
many traffic accidents here as in
other cities.
1T is time congress paid some at
tention to this matter TO the end
that the lives of residents here may
be protected
1t is stated that the audits COM
mite, to which the resolution was
referred, planned to act today on
the Capper resolution which declar
ed that the explanation that the
snow, although OF extraordinary
quantity, was the chief cause Of the
collapse of the roof appears unsat-
isfactory.'' The resolution adds:
Whereas. 1t is currently report
ed that contractor and builders, es-
pecially during and since the war
have ignored. evlded and treated
lightly rules and regulations in the
building code of the district;
BE it resolved, tnat the senate

Senior u. S. Highway Engineer
DiSappyOUeS Lake Shore Road

New developments today in con-
nection with the proposed route for
the state. highway into Brownsville
have considerably 'muddied the wa
ters," it developed at an informal
confertnce this morning at the court
house, participated in by County
Judge Oscar c. Dancy, Mayor A. B.
Cole, Commissioners Logan and Bell,
County Auditor L. O'Bryan, and
w. B. Clint, representing the Cham
ber of Commerce.
The conference was the result of
a letter received today from Fred
crick Johnston, United States senior
highway engineer, at Fort Worth,
who said that the proposal to run
the road along the shore Of the West
Brownsville lake, instead Of across
its east end, as originally proposed,
was unacceptable. According TO
Mayor Cole, the letter intimated that
while federal funds were not in
Guided in the $4,000 granted by the
state for the extension Of the road
to the city limits, ''the road would
undoubtedly expect further federal
help" which was interpreted by the
officials TO mean that aid might not
be extended further if the shore
route was taken.
AIr. Johnston stated i'm his letter,
the mayor said, that the fact of the
approval by the state highway COM
mission of the plan to carry the road
around the lake had just come to
mis- attention for the first time. He
also said that if the road i carried
across the lake to the city limits,
1t is probable that federal aid might
be granted to carry it all the way
70 Elizabeth street, owing to the
fact that there are no houses be-
tween the point where it would con-
meet with the city limits and Eliza
beth street.
Action on the entire proposition
now awaits further communications
10 and from the state highway COM
mission. but it was the concensus of
opinion among those participating in
The conference that it might now be
the wisest plan to proceed with the
across-the-lake route.

Graphic Account of Gazing

WASHINGTON, ID. O., Jan. 3d.
Representative Smithwick was in the
balcony of the theater when the roof
collapsed under its weight Of snow,
and scaped unaided-just how he can
not recall-with more or less serious

INFLUENZA and.

THE INCREASE.
SEQ Monkeys Used by Health
Officials in Effort to De-
velop Flu Vaccines
NV Tho Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, n. ", Jan. 30
Influenza and pneumonia eases con-
t;nued to increase today. probably
as the result o. the sIorn. which
covered the streets of the city with
eight inches of snow.
Five hundred monkeys have been
used by health officials of New
York and Washington in the last
two years in experiments looking
to the development of vaccines
against influenza and pneumonia.
DIR. William Park of the New
York health department, said today:
eve havn't learned anything about
influenza. only that the invisible
unidentified organism which causes
il can pass through stone wall"
DR.. Park said experiment WAS
suggested during meeting of med
ical authorities Of the country in
1919. He said the experiments on
monkeys show conclusively that if
one is vaccinated he cannot con
tract pneumonia when inoculated
with the germ, but that in the abb
sence Of vaccination incubation
proves fatal in the majority Of the
cases. Experiments on humans
would bring the same results"
He added that scientists engaged
in the experiments have not devel-
oped vaccine different to that
used in 1918.

STREAM OF TAX
PAYERS THRONC
COURT BUILDING

Beginning almost with the OPEN
ing Of County Tax Collector J. j..
Fox's office at the courthouse this
morning, a constant stream of tax
payers passed through for the pur-
pose of making property, and poll
tax payments, the heaviest day, ac-
cording TO the collector, since the
heavy collection season began.
Not a moments rest was given
the employees in the office, the num-
Der Of which has been considerably
augmented by the collector for the
heavier work of the season. Nearly
a dozen men were engaged in re-
ceiving taxes and issuing receipts,
several of whom were engaged ex-
clusively in the task of issuing poll
tax receipts.
1t was noted during the morning
hours that most of those arriving to
make payments were from the up
per sections of the county. and the
courthouse square and vicinity was
lined with automobiles. The mid
day train from points between
Brownsville and Harlingen brought
numerous additional taxpayers, and
the tax collector made special ef-
fort to take care of these so they
could finish their mission in time to
take the 4:30 o'clock train back
home.

ARCHITECTS DOUBT
THAT SNOW CAUSED
THEATER TO CAVE in

CHICAGO, H., Jan. 30.-In
Washington, average snow weighs
about seven or eight pounds to
the cubic foot, said Prof. Henry
J. Cox, of the weather bureau,
commenting on the caving-in Of
the roof of the Knickerbocker
motion picture theater.
IF the snow was three feet
deep on the roof of the theater, |
doubt if there was strain of more
than twenty pounds to the square
foot" he said.
Some Chicago architects ex-
pressed doubt that such pressure
would have crushed the roof, and
said they believed investigation
would develop structural strain.
