Woman Executive
of the "Big State
MA" Ferguson Calmly Takes Oath
ass Governor of Texas-Second in
United States-Retiring Governor
Leaves Rose, Symbolic of Purity.

Austin, Texas, Jan. 20.-Without
the slightest show of emotion, Mrs.
Miriam A. Ferguson, OF Temple,
Texas, was sworn intoday as the
first woman governor in Texas and
the second in the United States.
A crowd that occupied every avail
able inch of space in the house of
representatives and was for time so
large that it caused Speaker Lee Sat-
terwhite to delay the ceremonies and
consider holding them upon the cap
itol grounds, witnessed the ceremo-
nies. An overflow crowd of several
thousand filled the wide corridors of
the capitol building.
Mrs. Ferguson was given the oath
by Chief Justice C. M. Cureton, of
the Texas Supreme Court soon after
Barry Miller, of Dallas, had been
sworn in as lieutenant governor.
Mrs. Ferguson sat on the front row
of the enlarged speakers platform
beside retiring Governor Pat M. Neff.
Across the stand from her in COM
,pany with Mrs. Neff, sat her hus-
band James E. Ferguson, who, ten
years and one day ago was inaug-
urated governor from the same plat
form, and three years later was i'm
peached in the senate chamber across
the hall.
Mrs. Ferguson repeated the oath in
"A low voice, scarcely above a whis-
per, which barely was audible at the
press table. She did not change her
expression of composure during the
oath, even when she swore that she
had never sent a challenge nor par
ticipated in duel. She looked stea-
dily at Justice Cureton.
The woman governor read briet
speech, but did not raise her voice
much louder than the conversational
tone.
Retiring Governor Neff was greet.
ed with cheers when upon closing hi:
last utterance as governor of Texa!
he told Mrs. Ferguson that he had
left, as an inspiration to her admin

PALPaBLE NEGLECT
CAUSE or SHORT LIFE

How can we expect TO improve
the race and lengthen life to 100
years, II such palpable neglect goes
on? The answer lies in education
teaching men and women those
few important facts OF prevention
and personal hygiene which will
do away with preventable disease
and improve the stock.
The improvement that has been
made toward frightening the life
span, has been done largely thru
the control of germ diseases, bet
ter sanitation. more intelligent
handling Of infants and prenatal
medical attention for others.
Tho medical and sanitary prog.
ross OF 40 years is today saving
million lives year. At the same
time the average length of life has
increased.
In the 18th century the span of
life was 20 years Al the time OF
the Declaration OF Independence. it
had increased 10 but - years. But
since that time it has come UP to
