LITTLE JIMMIE TO LEARN
STORY Of GREAT HEALER

Jimmie English is going to Sunday
school this morning.
San Antonio's little grass girl"
back from st. Louis and well again,
will attend regularly, hereafter, and
begin to learn the story Of the Mas
ter who passed through the valley Of
the shadow of death, like she did.
And Christmas s coming too, and
Jimmy can see the story of the
Nativity enacted by the Sunday
school children as they depict the
lowly manger where the Christ Child
vas born. Perhaps, even little jim
ME viii be able to take part.
Jimmie hasn't had much chance TO
go to Sunday school. She doesn't
know the words and tune Of Bright
en- the Corner Where You Are but
she knows how to DO it. For four
years in the Robert B. Green hos
pital where she was the Little An
gel of the Children's Ward. Jimmie
frightened lots Of corners, and now
is going TO learn to sing the song
that tells about il.
Jimmie wants TO be like other little
girls. now that she's almost well. SO
this morning she is going 10 don her
little red hat and red dress and go
TO Sunday school like all the rest.
Jimmie knows lots about the stories
in the Big Book. She knows about
Daniel in the lions den, about the
Good Samaritan, and story about
Jesus and the children and about
Jo-eph, too.
But to sing the joyous songs Of
Sunday school and answer questions
about the leseOn and 10 learn the
golden text, she has never done any Of
those things.
Jimmie will 90 n ihe South Flores
Street Church Of Christ. The Rev.
J. S. Newman is the pastor. Her
mother will take her and start her
in the first day 50 that Jimmie will
not be alone. for the little girl is not
used n many strange faces and feels
wee bit scared when she is around
a healthy lot Of children.
Later in the day. Jimmie plans %
visit the Robert b. Green hospital
where she will mcct all IT her friends
among the nurses and all Of the tnts
who were in the ward with her. She
will see Peg Of the Park. who has
been watching for her return.

MOODY SILENT
ON PROPOSED
COMP R0M|SE
Attorney to Answer Road
Company's Offer
in Court.

AUSTIN, Nov. 2s-Attorney Gen,
eral Dan Moody Saturday declined to
discuss the proposed compromise made
by the Hoffman Construction Com
pany in the suit filed by the state
against that company which Is set for
trial Monday before Judge George Cal
houn in Fifty-third District Court.
Moody stated his position on the pro-
posed compromise will be told in court
when the case is up for trial.
The suit against the Hoffman Con-
struction Company is for cancellation
of highway contracts, an injunction to
restrain the payment of 1851 900 and
for 100000 damages. The state is
also asking for the appointment Of n
receiver to take charge of the property
pending final determination of the liti'
CATION.
The company's answer TO the suit,
which has been filed, offers either to
make second application of asphalt
on 600 miles Of highways or to settle
with the state in proportion upon the
same terms as the agreed judgment in
the case of the American Road Com
pany. The answer also states that
the defendants are not aware of any
motive any member of the highway
commission may have in making the
contracts other than the discharge OF
his official duty. In the petition,
Moody had charged Joe Burkett, then
a member Of the commission, with
"connivance in effect" with the Hoff-
man Construction Company. This Is
disclaimed in the company's answer.

found they lead nowhere" Then DIR.
Goodell continued. 1--WE talk about
truth. PLATE asked long ago, with
sneer what is truth
Men are coming to understand
that the only truth that amounts to
anything is vital truth. that is, truth
translated into lite. When the Phar-
isees said to Jesus we are orthodox.
He said to them, IN substance, what
good docs it do you! Does your creed
make you better? Are you living the
things that go with the true faith?
If you are, well and good, but if not
thieves and robbers will enter the
Kingdom of Heaven ahead of you
Truth is not an abstract thing
and yet it is something to be felt
and to be translated into service. 1t
is the truth as it is in Jesus that the
world is looking for. The great lead
ers in education are confessing that
education has fallen down because
it failed TO realize that its foundation
was not the gaining of facts but the
development Of character.
Inc crime wave which is sweeping
our country is due to nothing so much
as the fact that the training of home
and school has had so little TO do with
those great fundamental principles.
which make for law and order and
consequently for character.
The virtue of the old Puritan
training consisted in the fact that it
laid chief emphasis upon character.
Boys and girls were taught to ac-
cept authority and obligation and they
were anchored to possibilities. This
so developed toughness of grain and
a rohlc idealism that the home and
school and church were exalted

and unfortunate in the same city are
daily sent to the penitentiary for
having in their possession only a thin
pint.
If a prominent ex-official and an
other millionaire in a south Texas
city can buy all the liquor he wants
and transport it to his residence in
violation of the law just because he
has big newspaper and never be

less indicted in the courts of our state

"If prominent district judge, in
central Texas City, can try boot
leggers and send them to the peniten-
tiary and at the same time drink
bootleg liquor.
''If wealthy business men can fill
their lockers full of liquor and boast
in company about how much they have
and the brand they have, and not be
molested. while the penitentiary is
being filled with poor devils who
have neither friends nor money, who
have been found guilty Of having a
pint on their hips or for making a
little liquor for home consumption,
then indeed. when all these things hap
pen, then justice becomes a mockery
and the law becomes n stencil in the

freely, police think.
For police evidence against them

What vanity prompts US to imagine
that we are acme. the pinnacle, the
summit Of such improvement, and that
from our supreme elevation mankind
will proceed TO deteriorate through the
succeeding generations. and that we
will have cause 10 pity our grand
children because they are not the
perfect creatures that we are?
1t seems to me our grandchildren

ton BY generation, as 1t has in the
past. will find our grandchildren
superior to us in innumerablc ways,
better physically, better mentally, and
better mortally. For morality, as well
as mentality, has improved through
the ages. While there has been some
ebb and flow to the tide, the moral
standards OF mankind have continual
ly been raised.
STANDARDS ARE RISING.
The influence of eleyating and UP
lifting forces is becoming more and
more widespread. The radio gives the
churches congregations Of millions of
people instead of hundreds of peo-
pie. There are infinitely more and
infinitely better schools. Improve

the newspapers thousands of times

Gloves That Fit Last Longer, Says an Expert

not clasp easily, it is too small, and
is likely to tear out around the clasps
at once.
If your hands are normal-that is,
of average shapeliness, and not par
ticularly thick or thin, with medium
length fngers-you will want to be
fitted with regulation-sized gloves.
That is, the exact size of gloves which
the measurement of your hand indi-
Gates is the one which will fit you.
But if the flesh of your hand is ex-
tremely solid, and your fingers are
thick and heavy-jointed, you will want
glove larger than the regulation size.
Conversely, if the flesh on your hand
Is quite soft and flabhy, you may wear
smaller glove-probably about half a
size smaller-than the measurement
indicates. If your hand is thin, you
will want a long, narrow glove. And
If your hand Is stout and firm, see that
you are fitted with an extremely elas-
tic glove.
In fact, elasticity OF the leather al
ways has great deal to do with the
final fit and satisfaction that you can
get out OF glove.

deau fitting close to her forehead.
Flowers and leaves and any additions
that will add thickness will prove
more becoming, since these do not
bring the nose out in conspicuous re-
lief. And, above all things, If your
nose turns up think twice before you
buy bandeau that shapes to a point
at the top.
The neck should not be entirely 1g-
nOred. When a woman with a short
neck buys bandeau, she must not be
tempted by a model that has ear orna-
ments that hang low, for these will
take away what little neck she has,
Flowers or other ornaments worn at
the ears must be we'll up toward the
level of the eyes, when the neckline
is short.
Actually, only tall woman or a
deau with earpieces But here we
come to the subject of appropriate
ness in which Judgment rather than
rules must be applied. 1t is seldom
that an older, mature woman looks
well in fancy, flowery hair ornaments
that tend to rob her Of one of her
most priceless sessions-dignity.
The girlish posies and beaded pansy
motifs should be reserved for the
younger set, and the more dignified
bands of brilliants or Of various metal
cloths should be given to maturity
one of the few exceptions to this is
III the case Of the older woman of
height and dignity, who will some
times appear very Queenly in a mar
row band of small leaves, carrying a
suggestion of the Greek goddess's
beauty about its simple design.
