Because his II year old sweetheart
had tired of him, Clyai Rowley, aged

fred directly over his heart, had
struck a rib and detected until 1t
lost its force and lodged beneath the
,hesh. The bullet was removed and
Rowley is In good condition today.
DR.. Dalton was attending a patient
near the Rowley home yesterday aft
ernoon when a man rushed into the
house and asked that he hurry to
Rowley's house as a man had shot
himself When the physician entered
he found the victim lying on a bed
with his shoes off and his shirt open.
In reply to a question as to what the
trouble was, Rowley pointed to a,
wound over his heart. He was taken
to the hospital in DR.. Dalton's car and
the bullet quickly removed. Rowley
then told Of his love affair with the
young girl. When informed Of his
act, the girl %ept bitterly, hurrying
ct once to his bedside.

MRS. WILMANS TIRED
Lawmakers Job No Cinch, According
to Texas Woman Legislator.

Austin, Tex, Feb. 1O.-One month
of service in the Legislature has been
sufficient to raise doubt in the mind of
Mrs. Edith Wilmans of Dallas, the
first and only woman legislator, as to
whether she will seek reelection to this
office.
In the opinion of Mrs. Wilmans, the
business Of being n law-maker is n diff
ficult, thankless and improbable task.
"Long hours, hard work, poor pay,
carping criticism, these are the lot of n
law-maker,". said Mrs. Wilmans Satur-
day in discussing her venture.
Il have longed frequently to be back
in Dallas, either in my law office or
at home with my daughters. My office
is closed; my practice is suffering; my
daughters write me, urging me to re-
turn. Reflections such as these make
me wonder if the business of being a
law-maker is worth the price ex-
acted"

Where Is Water Coolest?
'1f &c. Why?" Lambert Asks Tobin and Sheriff Is
Stumped.

Sheriff John Tobin and Park Com
missioner Ray Lambert are great hunt
ing and fishing chums. And though
this is one Of the strongest OF bonds
between men they never go on a hunt
ing or fishing trip together without
beginning to tease and "hurrah" each
other Immediately upon arrival in camp
and continuing it until time to return
home. OF course it's all in fun but
each of them takes the keenest delight
in "putting it over" on the other.
A few weeks ago they were at
Medina Lake with some friends and a
fishing trim was proposed. The party
assembled its tackle and boarded Mr..
Tobin's boat for the ride to Turk s
Head where Mr.. Lambert let it be
known was a "sure fire" fishing hole.
The boat was difficult to start and

Mr.. Tobin had to listen to lot of
"adviee" from Mr.. Lambert. The
sheriff tugged and puffed and the park
commissioner ragged" him unmerci-
fully. 1t was Mr.. Lambert's round.
The trip was made without incident
after the boat got started and then the
party tied up to the trees in which
Mr.. Lambert confidently predicted the
fish always would bite. All the lines,
five of them, were dropped in and the
fishermen waited, at first expectantly,
then skeptically and finally hopelessly.
But all the time Sheriff Tobin was
having a fine time telling Commissioner
Lambert what a wonderful place he
had picked" where the fish didn't
bother anyone" The park commission
er took his medicine.
Another member Of the party made
the suggestion that shallower water be
tried, advancing the opinion that the
fish probably would be found in the

Professor Roentgen was born in Len

His discovery of the Roentgen or Y

was purely accidental. While he was

ADVANCE
GOAL To 800
NEW MEMBERS
Success of Drive Leads to
Addition Of 100 to Pro-
posed Figures.
PLAN VALENTINE BALL
Bal Masque on February IA
When All Dancers Must
Be in Costumes.

With the membership campaign OF
the Elks' lodge already an assured sue
cess. a final effort is being made by
soliciting committees to bring the total
new members secured in the movement
up to 500 by Monday night. February
-. when the campaign will end. If
the workers succeed in reaching this
mark within the time limit, they will
have passed the original goal by an
even 100 applications. ..
In bringing the campaign TO Its
wbirl-wind finish, Chairman Jack
Simms last week sent letter to every
member of the San Antonio lodge ask
ing that each bring in or send IN ar
least one signed application before the
Monday night meeting. For the con-
venience of members, an application
blank was enclosed with each letter.
Confident Of Success.
In his request to the membership, Mr..
Simms said in part:
I'VE have had a number OF faithful
workers in this drive, men who have at
a sacrifice taken time from their bust
ness to write applications, and / know
you have Mt least one friend or bust
ness acquaintance WHO viii, upon yum
invitation, sign this application blank.
By doing this you will be comforting a
real favor upon your friend, and at the
same time be doing something worth
while for your lodge"
For the last several days new
flood of applications has been coming
into Secretary Collins office, as a re-
suit of Chairman Simms' appeal and
indications are that the goal of 500
will be reached by the time the last
of the applications have been turned
in Monday night. With interest at so
high a pitch over the final outcome of
the campaign, it is believed by lodge
officials that the meeting will be a
record-breaker from the standpoint Of
attendance and enthusiasm.
Means New Addition Soon.
Success of the membership campaign
means that the new seven-story addi-
ton to the Elks' Club building will be
built as soon as the necessary arrange
ments can be made. 1t is probable
that there will be some discussion of
the proposed improvement at the com
ing meeting. The structure for which

Business transacted at the Monday
night meeting will include balloting on
the names Of 80 men who have been
proposed for membership.
Closely following this business ses-
sion. the Elks' lodge will hold a st.

of Wednesday, February IA. This

THREE TITLES
CHANGE HANDS
AMID KICKS
Dundee Bernstein Decision 10
Third in Six Months to
Meet Disfavor.
BY JAMES FRANCIS.
CoanopoIitan News Service.


NEW YORK. June THE de-
feat of Johnny Dundee by Jack
Bernstein, for the 13O-pound cham
pionship. marked the third occasion
within six months in which q title
has changed as the result Of an
unsatisfactory decision. Many crit
les agreed with the official verdict
that awarded Bernstein the decision
at the end Of fifteen rounds. Just
as many refer to the award as q
tragic joke on Dundee.
Kid Mcfarland and Harold
Barnes were the judges and Patsy
Haley was the referee. It Is said
that they arrived at the decision
unanimously. If so, those who de-
clared that Dundee was jobbed were
quite wrong or the officials them.
selves were quite blind. Dundee
either won or lost. It is silly to
talk Of giving the champion the
benefit OF the doubt, since this sug-
ges.s that a challenger must beat
HIS man to pulp in order to win.
Difference Of opinion helps make
boxing what It is. however. The
night that Gene Tunney won back
his light heavyweight title from
Harry Greb, It was obvious that
few in the crowd were in accord.
ance with the decision. Yet some
competent boxing critics agreed
with the verdict.
Again, when Pancho Villa lost
the flyweight championship to
frankie Genaro, the multitude
stood up on its hind legs and
called for the officials blood. Every.
body seemed to think that Villa
won by a mile, but sober reflection
convinced many that the decision
was a just one and today It is SO
regarded.
