The explosion blew the plate glass
front out of the tailor shop and in
less than two minutes the building
was mass of flames.
Dean Eldredge, Mr.. Johnston's as
sistant, was alone in the place. The
explosion threw him up against the
pressing machine, and, though he was
not injured, he was somewhat dazed
for time. Jimmie Lewis, managing
partner in the Breen-Lewis drug store,
and Leo Garcia, one of the clerks,
were in the rear of the drug store
and both were thrown to the floor. A
big carboy of glycerine landed on
Jimmie, but beyond small cut on the
face he was uninjured, while Leo was
not hurt at all.

vealed several things that at once
convinced her father and uncle that
she had been in the hands of an un-
scrupulous man. y
Then she began to see things more
in the light of cold reason and appre-
ciate at their true value certain shady
incidents in the tumultuous courtship
and following the marriage, incidents
that had saddened her at the time
but had not entirely broken down her
girlish illusions.
On Saturday Mrs. Dollins made her
statement and swore to it and it was
read in the preliminary hearing that
afternoon before U. S. Commissioner
Tom L. Rees. She said in substance:
That she met Dollins at the Belvi-
dere hotel, Kansas City, five days be-
fore they were married. He told her
she was of a type that would make a
success in pictures; that her chances
for suctess would be much greater if
she were married; that If she married
him he. would use all of his consider
able Influence in launching her on a
career of success and fame.
She didn't care so much about the

did wart the career.

Old Houses.

I often think they must feel grief
old houses suffering decay. They
once were young as -springtime's leaf
and vibrant as a springtime's day.
Their walls inclosed such JOY and
mirth, their doors let in a loving
friend. They once were. treasured
spots on earth, and now to all their
worth-an end, No longer do they
hold, like arms, some loving pair in
welded life. These dingy houses
once had charms to ward off troubles,
shut out strife. Now with tired eyes
they peer and blink at bright new
houses here and there. How wearily
they creak and think, Long, long
ago, we. too. were fair. We, too,
looked pleasing to the eye, and
maidens thought of US in dreams. and
the observant passerby would praise
our sturdy joists and beams. No
more we'll hear swift dancing feet,
nor youthful laughter, loving words.
nor lullabies at night so sweet when
mothers rock their sleepy birds. -.

MASKED DISCRIMINATION

Every reasonable person believes in
education. Believing in education as a
general proposition, he must, il he is
predetermined, believe in the main
tenancc Of schools, and must be willing
to contribute to their maintenance out
of his own funds. In other words, he
is willing to be taxed for the benefit OF
the boys and girls, young men and young
women of the state. In fact, of all taxes
those for school purposes arc the least
onerous. If a person grumbles at pay
ing such taxes he is marked as a sorry
sort of citizen. Public opinion is "for"
the schools
Possibly it was of this general and
permanent state of the public mind that
advocates of tax on gasoline sought
to take advantage when they proposed,
through the medium of bill introduced
in the Mouse of Representatives at Aus
tin, that % per cent of the proceeds
from such tax be used for educational
purposes. But though public opinion
does stand by the schools, and will con-
tinue to do so, it is extremely doubtful
that the apparent object Of the bills
advocates will be served. Dressing the
measure in cducation's raimcnt does not
conceal its vicious character.
The proposed gasoline tax would fall
almost entirely upon the owners of mo-
tor vehicles. Approximately 100000
automobile licerses have been issued in
this state. The number of automobile
owners cannot be greater than that; OF
course it is smaller, because some pcO-
pie own more than one car each, and
for the further reason that some of the
automobiles for which licenses have been
issued are permanently out Of commits
sion, or nonresident as a result of fire
and other agents of destruction.
But, to be ultra-conscrvativc and thus
make the case against the tax advocates
stronger, let it be assumed that there
are 100000 automobile owners in Texas.
They would constitute, then. about II
per cent of the total population of the
statc-the total being approximately
100000.
Under the proposed law, therefore, u
per cent Of the population would have
to bear a special burden for the benefit
of all, including notably the remaining
.SS per cent that would be practically
eerlpt from this tax. 1t could not truly
be said that the burden was being placed
only upon those able to bear it, as not
all wealthy people own automobiles,
