are places where il is impossible
to cross. On all other highways the
going is heavy and chains will be

Advice from Cotulla is that roads
between San Antonio and Laredo,

and that is advisable to postpone
travel. for a few days. Roads over
the O. s. I. TO Del Rio are in bad
condition, but can be Travelled with
chains. The X. 4. TO Dallas is bad
beyond Austin. and in the vicinity OF
Taylor and Bartlett chains will be

ham they are exceptionally heavy.
North over the o. s. 7. by Kerr
vile and Junction, the roads are in
good shape as far as Junction. East
of there to Ozona by way of Sonora,
they are extremely bad and the ad-
wise is to postpone trips in that direc-
ton. Ia

PLANS FOR ST. MARY'SI
NEW CHURCH CHANGED
TO REDUCE EXPENSES
Father Dusseau Returns
From Inspection of New
Churches in the North.

Plans for st. Mary's Catholic
church which was TO have been con-
.structed on the site of the present
cSurch at n cost of approximately
100000 have been completely revised
it was stated Saturday by Father a.
c. Dusseau to materially reduce the
expense. The new church under the
altered plans will have the same seat
ing capacity rs the one first proposed
but will be smaller. Father Dusseau
said 100000 had beens saved by re-
tanning the present parish residence
of brick next TO the river. The
church as now to be built will also
face on st. Mary's street and not on
College street as under the former
plans. 1t has been so arranged that
by space economy, 1000 people can
be seated readily which was the seat
ing capacity Of the church first plan
ned.
Father Dusseau. has just returned
from a trip of several weeks in the
north made for the expressed purpose
of studying modern church construc-
ton not INTELLECTUALLY but from the
standpoint of utility. He visited some
of the most recent church competitions
in communities with parishes about
the size of st. Mary's church and
obtained a number of ideas which will
be incorporated in the new building.
Father Dusseau said that the beau
.hful church originally planned con-
-lnued to mount into construction
costs as it was worked out until the
sum total was beyond the ability. of
the parish TO sustain it under. exist
ing economic conditions. For that
reason he deemed it best, after con-
sultation with the members of the
building committee, to revise the
plans but TO retain the same seating
capacity which is the important fea-
ture. The cost of the church under

After quoting Hamilton's appeal for
social and political indignation under

Can any student of our times in

moment that factionalism is develop
ing as never before? We have our fac
tions which seek to promote this or

will maintain the national viewpoint
and emphasize the interviewer intimacy

none may permanently prosper with

throttle the false cry of class where
none need exist in the reckoning of
American opportunity; if we will be as
hopefully American and as wholeheart-

BALDWIN At HEAD
Of BRITISH EMF IRE
Commoner Wins Great Office
Over Lord Curzon.
VICTORY FOR LABOR PARTY
Former Chancellor of the Exchequer
Takes Station Backed by Labortes
and Business Men of the
Country.

London, May 23.-Stanley Baldwin,
chancellor of the exchequer, became
premier of Great Britain Tuesday.
Conservative party leaders decided
that Lord Curzon's ambition to sue
coed Andrew Bonar Law as the head
of the government was impracticable.
Accordingly they selected Mr.. Baldwin
as the man most likely to obtain full
party support.
King Sends for Baldwin.
This decision was communicated to
King George, who promptly sent for
Mr.. Baldwin and offered him the
prime ministership. The chancellor ac-
cepted, and at ten minutes after four
left Buckingham palace for 10 Down
ing street, and began his efforts to
form a new cabinet.
The old cabinet, including Foreign
Secretary Curzon, prepared to resign.
Some of the members forwarded their
formal designations Tuesday night. 1t
is expected that a number of them will
be reappOinted. 1t is understood that
Sir Robert Horne will succeed Mr..
Baldwin as chancellor of the ex-
chequer.
Labor Party Opposes Curzon.
The selection of Mr.. Baldwin was
Indirectly a tribute % the power of
the Labor party. The Laborites vigor-
ously opposed the selection of Lord
Curzon as premier, and this opposition
was regarded as having an element
of reason in it that ould appeal to
the country, and would add to the
troubles of the Conservative party.
The reason advanced by the Labor
party was that inasmuch as Lord Cur
zon is a peer, only peers would be
able to question him and debate with
him in parliament.
