dropped in San Antonio, which was
| fully 300 miles from the center OF the
storm. The barometer in this city COM
menced to fall on Saturday night and
continued to drop until early on Sun
day morning when it began to rise
sharply. Tbs change was followed by
a marked decline in temperature and
strong wind which, however, sub
sided within 4 few minutes.
At about noon the storm center COM
MERGED to move away from Texas, as
was shown by the strong west wind
that set in. This wind, after few
hours, swung around to the southwest
showing that the center of the storm
was moving in a northeasterly direc-
ton and was already ut some distance
from San Antonio. All over the state
heavy winds continued throughout the
afternoon and of Sunday and over part
of Sunday night The force of this
wind reached sixty miles an hour at
times. The official record was AZ miles
an hour, which means that the wind
held that velocity for a five-minute
period without diminishing. There
were frequent gusts of As miles an
hour and in the open places and in
the country it is estimated that the
wind at times reached a force of 90
miles an hour.
On Monday morning the storm was
conferred over Detroit, the probability
being that it would pass across upper
Canada and go down the St. Lawrence
valley. Its severity however was so
great that it was certain on Monday
morning, that within the next 4S hours
there would be heavy gales all along
the Atlantic seaboard north of Cape
Hatteras =
1t was one OF the most severe storms
in several years and San Antonio was
fortunate that it did not suffer more
severely.

MAKING THE BEST OF 1T

The intangible assets tax bill intro
duced by Representative Patman had a
career that was unique among measures
considered by the Texas Legislature
during the thirty-eighth session. Killed
in the Senate by that body's adoption OF
its committees adverse report, this meas
ure was resurrected through the medium
of the upper chambers request that it be
returned by the House for reconsidera-
ton.
1t was logical to assume that the bill
had a chance of passage on its second
trip to the Senate. Why would that
body recall it if sentiment among some
OF the senators had not undergone a
change?
A statement in news account of the
Senate's final action on the bill-it was
killed again, and this time irrevocably
"buried"-seems to be confirmatory of a
survey of the legislative situation, with
respect to tax measures, which was made
recently by representative of THE
LIGHT. The statement says that the
Patman intangible assets bill was called
back during filibuster on the Nelson
sulpllur-production tax bill. Who pro-
posed reconsideration of the Patman
measure the dispatch omits to say. But
it is easily plausible that this move was
in the nature of threat. IF the oppo-
nents of the sulphur tax bill would not
-"be good" then they would have to run
the risk of seeing more Objectionable
measure enacted.
The sulphur tax bill was subsequently
passed by the Senate. This seems to
mean that the threat served its purpose
that the conservative members of the
Senate, realizing that they were outnum-
bered, decided to "be good" from the
standpoint of the proponents of the Mel
son measure.
In THE LIGHTS recent survey it was
stated that apparently the more conserv-
alive senators had reached the conclusion
that they must accept some of the new
revenue measures, as lesser evils, to
avoid greater evils. That they should
be forced to such a choice is sad COM
mentary upon modern legislative tenden-
cies, but they have manifested their
craftsmanship by making the best of a
bad situation, even though that best may
not save the state from hurtful laws.

CAN YOU BEAT THIS?

I. 1t will be remembered that recent
. news columns have from time to time
: contained merition OF action brought
T. by the district-attorney of New York
. against William H. Anderson. superin-
! tendent. OF the Anti-Saloon League of
: New York, in connection with the al
tleged misuse of S24,700 OF money given
/: to the League for which Mr.. Anderson
has made no accounting beyond saying
: that he used it to influence wet news
spaperS.
Nov. comes Dr. d. J. Burrell, pastor
Got the Marble Collegiate Church of
sNew York and president of the New
York state branch of the Anti-Saloon
League. declaring in a statement that
swhile he docs not knew what Anderson
did with the S247OO or how he got it.
nc does believe in the integrity OF Mr.
Anderson. Then the reverend gentle
man makes this-for him-somewhat
remarkable assertion:
q do not know why man. either
in court or out OF court should be re-
quired to prove his innocence"
Ism tndt rlCh from one or the most
prominent members of the Anti-Saloon
League which is primarily responsible
for the Nolstead law? This statute
which has been endorsed strongly by
the League with the exception that il
is not sufficiently severe calls upon the
man arrested under charge OF violation
of the Nolstead act to prove his inno-
cence.
Yet here is a prominent member Of
the organization which upholding up
is responsible for this law declaring
that innocence is always to be presumed
In other words, the law of evidence
must be construed one way for people
who think as DR.. Burrell thinks and
another way for people who differ with
DIR. Burrell.
Can you beat it?
You cannot.

Signs of Gas Poisoning
BY II. Arlington Bruce.

When carbon monoxide gas, that
dread product of incomplete combus-
ton Of fuels, is present in dwelling
place, even in small amounts. it is apt
to give rise to distinctive symptoms
of ill-health. The recognition of these
is of special Importance, not only be-
cause of the risks incurred by long
continued breathing of air only slight
ly laden with monoxide, but also be-
cause there is the danger that the
amount present in the mir may sudden
~ be so increased as to bring on
immediate death.
OF the many persons reported as
dead in their homes from gas poison
ing, it is safe to say that no small
proportion might have escaped this
fate had they not, through ignorance
or neglect. failed to heed persistent
warning signs of monoxide's pres
ence.
One such sign is headache, another

SUNDAYS WIND

One OF the most severe storms OF
recent years has Just passed across the
United States, killing at least two score
people, interrupting telegraph and tele-
phone communication and destroying
property generally to the amount OF
several hundred thousands of dollars.
The end of it is not vet, for it is to be
expected that it will cause serious
damage along the eastern coast of the
United States and Canada with result
ant calamities at sea.
The storm was remarkable for the
speed with which it gathered and moved

Watching the Parade
BY John Pilgrim.

From where / sat 1 could see that
CLASSY look come in the eyes Of the
Big Chief. Then his thumb crept
slyly under the edge of the desk. In
Miss Morton's room the buzzer sound
ed twice. That handsome young wo-
man tip-toed into the Big Chiefs
room.
"I'm sorry, sir" said she. @But
you know you have an engagement
at this hour-I dislike to interrupt
you"
The Big Chief shook hands with
his caller all the way to the front
door. On the way back he began to
undo his collar and tie. He headed
straight for the lounge in his inner
office and the lock clicked tight. In
three minutes the Big Chief was
asleep. =
I'm to wake him at H." said
Miss Morton, glancing at the clock.
That's the way he keeps his
strength and pep and force. He
found out, years ago, that he could
not do without his fair need of sleep.
Maybe Edison can do with four hours
a day-and maybe Edison can cat

Clemenceau knows this. Hence he
goes to bed at 10 o'clock. President
Harding knows it. He gets as near
eight hours in bed as conditions will
permit. Theodore Roosevelt could do
without sleep on occasion, as can any
vigorous man. but he did not permit
himself to be robbed If he could pre-
vent it. The Big Chief has found
it out by experience. As he goes out
somewhere every night and believes

A God they pitted 'gainst a swarm
OF neighbor Gods less vast of arm.

some one thoroughly familiar with thC
ways of stoves and furnaces.
1t may be that an unsafe type OF
heater is being used. Or the heater
while in itself safe enough, may be
producing carbon monoxide through
faulty management by those using it
Or unsupported defects-such as rust
holes in the SMOKE pipe of furnace
may be permitting monoxide to leak
into the house..
Expert stove and furnace workers
can soon detect the source of trouble
il monoxide actually is menacing the
inmates of dwelling place. And
while it may be more or less expen-
sive to obtain an effective remedy.
the repair bill will be negligible COM
pared with the value of the safety il
insures.
