SIGNALING TO MARS
PROPOSED FOR NEXT
YEAR BY

OF Mars. His telescope 10 mounted
on an s.ooo-foot hill. From this
vantage point he is nightly straining
the much-argued assertion that there
are living beings on the far off body.
Since Mr.. Darwin evolved his
famous theory relative to the descent
OF man. the possibilities OF life on
Mars have taken on new and IN
teresting aspects.
II it Ia really true that W. J. Bry.
an is descended from the same stock
as the giant apes. then the life OF
Mars must be equally the result of
natural selection. The possibilities
are endless.
There is believed to be a haze of
gas, analogous to the air Of the earth
about the surface of Mars.
Obviously. then, the surviving
creatures on the planet must be
equipped with a filtering apparatus
to permit life to exist. II the sur
rounding gas is of similar compost
ton to the air of the earth, the
filtering apparatus would probably
resemble the nasal equipment of
earth animals, with only fine hair
within the nostrils to catch and de.
tain physical matter, such as dust.
If, however. the atmosphere OF
Mars is composed OF poisonous VA.
pors the Marsians nose would neces.
sarily resemble a wartime gas mask
in operation. II not in appearance.
According to Darwin. every por.
ton Of the body is formed to cope
with existing conditions. Theresore
entirely different conditions must re
suit in equally different bodies.
Living Beings on Mars.
This fact whets the scientists i'm.
agination. The discovery OF white
eskimos in the North. or a new race
in the South would pale into nothing
compared to the proof Of the ex.
istence of living beings on Mars.
During his study Of the plane,
Ryves has noted comparatively sud.
den changes in the face of the body.

This Handsome Man Didn't
Know How Handsome He Was

Philadelphia, Jan. 2O.-What makes
a man handsome-and why?
Graeme Lorimer doesn't know wheth-
er a handsome man is a man with nice
eyes and wavy hair, or man who has
friends who think they are funny.
A voting contest to determine the
handsomest man among students at the
University of Pennsylvania was started
by young Lorimer in his capacity as
editor-in-chief of the student magazine,
THE Red and Blue" Whereupon the
students began swapping the office
with votes for tie editor himself! .
Young Lorimer, who is the son OF
George Horace Lorimer, editor OF the
Saturday Evening Post, says the joke
has gone far enough. -,
"My friends are trying to josh me-
he SAYS. Il am editor, not a consest.
ant. I've disqualified all members OF
the magazines editorial staff from the
competition. ,..
Students, however, insist Disqualified
ton came too late. They are keeping
right on clipping coupons out OF the
magazine and casting votes for Editor
II think we'll have to revise this
contest" he said. at simply wouldn't
do for the editor to win. 1t would look
like a frame-up. The idea was for
committee of judges to pick the winner
from the five men receiving the highest
number of votes by next May.
1T may be a good plan TO get
committee of girls to act as judges anu

legged control OF number Of leading
oil companies, refineries and pipe lines
in Texas. The hearing will be held be-
fore House Committee on Commerce
and Manufacture, announced Lewis L.
Carpenter. chairman of that committee.
The resolution provides for the appoint
ment of committee of five representa-
tives and three senators to conduct the
investigation.
1t is expected there will be a large
delegation of oil operators and represen-
tatives of the oil interests in Texas in
attendance at this hearing. While the
resolution may be adopted in the House
there is doubt of it's action in the Sen
ate.
Bill viii LeG&ize ChiTOpractry.
Representative Davenport of Bexar,
and others, have introduced a bill in
the House providing for the licensing of
chiropractOrs and providing for the
creation of a board to pass on the
qualifications of applicants for such
license. While it is being sought in this
bill to legalize the practice of chiro-
practry, an effort is being made to put
them out of business by a bill intro
duced in the Senate by Senator Cousins
OL CdDlltF DlOpOGIAlS NNAANllA
ments to the medical practice act.
Senate Committee on Civil Juris-
prudence made an unfavorable report
on the bill by Senator John Davis Of
Dallas, which sought to increase the
salaries of assistant district attorneys
in the larger counties of the state. The
bill would have affected Dallas, Bexar,
Harris and Tarrant counties and would
hn colo Yinq nf aggiStnnf
district attorneys to be increased to a
mum being $4,000.
This committee reported favorably on
these bills:
By Thomas, providing for second as
sistant attorney general for the Court
of Criminal Appeals; By HolbroOk. pro-
Yiding an old age pension for persons
over 20 years of age; by Turner Great
ing a county court at law for Bowie
county; House bill by Dielman of Bex-
ar, known as the federal tax. lien bill,
this bill having already passed in the
House.
By a vote Of 76 to 4S, the House dur
ing the afternoon session passed to en-
grOssment the flood control and reclama-
ton bill by Rountree and associates.
This is the first of the big PROPOSE
tons to come before the Legislature and
the majority by which it was engrOssed
indicates the House is apparently in
favor of constructive legislation. The
bill carries an appropriation of $780,
900 a year for two years to make a
topographic and photographic survey of
the rivers of Texas under the super
vision of the State Board of Water
Engineers and the State Reclamation
Department. Mr.. Rountree made an
elaborate address in support of the
measure and those opposing it, did 80
on the grounds that the present depleted
condition of the treasury would not per-
init such an appropriation.

the impeachment trial of Ferguson back
in 1917. Those favoring the resolution
insist that it is not necessary for the
House to take any action on the meas
ure.
Anti.Federal Aid Bill Has Chance.
Although the House referred TO the
Committee on Federal Relations, by a
vote of So TO 40, the Senate anti-fed-
eral aid resolution by Senator Dudley,
it does not indicate that the resolution
will be defeated when it comes up for
consideration some time next week in
the House. When the resolution came
up. Representative Bell of Coryell,
moved that it be referred. Representa-
tive Davenport of Bexar, who fayOrs
the resolution, moved TO table: the mo-
ton to table failed by a vote OF o.
to "a. 1t was Davenport idea to put
the resolution to a vote Immediately and
thus settle the question. The resolution
has already been adopted in the Senate
and its adoption in the House would
place the Thirty-eighth Legislature on
record as being opposed TO any more
federal appropriations where it involves
matching dollar for dollar Of state
funds.
Hotel Men Speak for Bills.
Hotel men from the leading hotels
of the state and members of the Texas
Hotel Keepers Association, appeared
before Senate Committee on Criminal
Jurisprudence in behalf of three bills
on the legislative program Of the hotel
men. These three bills are the limited
liability law, limiting the losses in no.
tells, the defraud law, which provides
a penalty for leaving a hotel without
the payment of a hotel bill and a
stricter check law.
These three bills were reported favor
ably by the committee. Former State
Senator John L. Peeler, chief counsel
for the Texas Hotel Association, made
an argument in support of these meas
Ures.
The committee also reported favor
ably the bill sponsored by the I. 2. a,
requiring hotels to post rates in each
room and also requiring that 80 days
notice be given before rates can be ad-
vanced.

CEMETERIES

Paris, Oct. 22.-The French gov
eminent is beginning the vast under
taking of exhuming it's scattered war
dead and concentrating the bodies In
national cemeteries after the Amer
lean plan. It is far greater task
than the one the American Graves
Registration mission has completed.
In some sectors, such as the Argoane
and around the Saint Mihiel salient,
a great many were brought together
in military cemeteries, but elsewhere
along the whole battle front, from the
Swiss frontier to the North Sea, bod
les of soldiers that were killed IN
the. trenches were buried where they
fell.
Scattered German dead are also be-
ing gathered into large cemeteries by
the French, under an agreement with
the German government. The Ger
man cemeteries that existed at tic
end of the war are all being carec
! for by the French authorities who
issue special permits to German
families to visit the graves OF theil
dead in France.
