IWI 1t was Brutus, or Nero, but
C anyway it was some Latin
hero-invented the word 'pedes-
ter" thereby handing down to us
the expression pedestrian" he
had no idea about autos.
Pedestrian has about as much
original meaning left as prohibit
ton.
Cause pedestrian originally
meant one who hoofs it, using the
feet only.
And nowadays we pedestrians
need wings. double sets of eyes,
stills, universal joints, quick get
aways and traffic transmissions.
The board of safety promises to
make it safe for pedestrians at Ohio
and Meridian Sts.. by inserting
walk" for change" in the silent
cop there. All autos from both di-
rections would stop while we pedes-
trians sauntered across.
l hope they carry out this plan.
If they do, I'm going to spend most
of the day at the corner, crossing

Mystery of Disappearing
 Governors Is Explained
TEXAS CAPITOL EQUIPPED WITH SECRET CHAMBER TO ENABLE EXECUTIVE TO DODGE PER- SISTENT CALLERS.

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 2S.-Disap- bearing Governors, hidden stairways, locked rooms and the unfathomable mystery of secret chamber il, the Texas capitol!
 Sounds like stuff for drama of intrigue and dark statecraft!
 But it's only the story of how Mrs Miriam A. Ferguson of Tenn pie, the States first woman Gov ernor, may eclipse from the madding crowd, which before her time had driven men to cover.
 Long has it been something of a mystery how Texas Governors could so artfully disappear while apparent ly busy in their office. Visitors sit ting in the outer room might see the Governor enter by one of two outside doors and then, presto, when it came the callers turn to enter the inner sanctum, the Governor could not be found, though he had escaped by neither exit.
Seward daily gateway., 1925-01-29

Frequently has the secretary usher ed a persistent caller into the Gov ernor's deserted office to prove that the executive was not there. And since the Governor could not escape by the usual methods without being seen, there was something spectral about the thing. The secretary has been perfectly innocent because the plan works with no one ''in" on it save the Governor.
 This gubernatorial magic has mys- tified many an office seeker as well as others who came merely to con- sume valuable time. It has been employed less by Gov. Neff perhaps than others, because callers general ly find a ready welcome and an easy approach in Gov. Neff's office.
 But at last the mystery is solved It must be told: The Governor has access to a secret chamber
 Many of Mrs. Ferguson's prede- cessors of supposedly the stronger sex. weary with burdens of state have used this same system; and perhaps one who lays no claim to masculine endurance, by a similar device, may find escape from heavy labors.
 Few knew of this chamber, and still fewer have ever seen it. Only the Governor and a porter, who cleans the office, have admission to it.
 Leading up from the executive of flee to the second floor of the Capi- tol is a small, iron stairway, almost hidden in a nook of what might be called the outer section of the inner office It enters room above the Governors office.
 This little-knoWn compartment is divided into two rooms, furnished with desks, chairs, books and all equipment for study. Fine rugs easy chairs and couch afford means for rest and relaxation from the days work. The rooms are kept secluded and as quiet as possible and are nev- CT used except as the Governor wish es.
 Great state papers, messages to the Legislature, pardons and executive problems have been written and pon-

cred over in the quiet of these small

QereQ over Tn the Qu1et Of these small rooms.
 Within these walls many of the great thoughts of Texas Governors have been first put to paper and from them have emanated perhaps more far-reaching announcements than from any other rooms in the whole comonwealth.
 It is said that here the great Gov Hogg framed his measures for the creation of the Texas Railroad Com mission, considered one of the most constructive laws on the statute books. Gov. Neff, himself, has thOt out some of his messages in the quiet of these rooms. And Gov. James E. Ferguson may come back to these rooms after "totin' the wood and wa ter for Ma," as he describes his con- nection with the new State regime.
 There is only one other entrance to the rooms besides the iron stair way. This other door, which is al- ways locked, enters what is called the Governors reception room on the second floor of the Capitol The re- ception room is fully furnished as a parlor, having been used at one time for State formalities, but which now has little use except to draw the cu- riosity of visitors.

In Ireland from time immemorial

They must be made in particular
