review and appeal after engineers
had set the figure at $54,954. The
higher allowance resulted in a loss
of taxes to the government.
The discrepancy of the allow
ance was carried to s. M. Green.
idge. chief of the bureaus engin-
eering division, by John H. Briggs,
of the non-metal section. In his
reply to Briggs, Greenidge declared:
Throughout this division at the
present time there seems to be a
decided inclination on the part of
some of the engineers to disagree
with their superior officers and q
continuation of such feeling will
very soon result in complete disor-
ganization.
''It is my opinion that the above
named case penn Sand and Gravel
should be closed in accordance with
the instructions of the committee
and also that something be done
to curb the tendency of engineers
toward the taking issue with the
decisions or instructions of their
superior officers

important letter." declared, Senator

sale of Ford Motor Company stock.
At the time of the sale, CouZens
said the then Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, Daniel Roper, set
the value of the stock at 50, 400 a
share. The Bureau said 1t now has
information that the stock was
worth $12,500 a share which would
force an additional assessment
against CouZens.
The whole controversy may be
aired on the Senate floor.
Sentor Glass, Dem.) of Virginia,

at the time of the sale and who
knew of Roper's fixation of value,

had met Mrs. Dennistoun through
Lady Deforest.
Hall said. Denpistoun would not
dispute that Mrs. Dennistoun and
he were legally domiciled in France
when the divorce was awarded, nor
would he deny the charge OF mis-
conduct on which the divorce was
granted, but he would take the
witness stand and testify that the
divorce was secured by arrange
ment between his wife and himself
which under the English law
amounts to collusion. This is
considered sufficient grounds in
English law for notification Of a

This new angle today makes the
Dennistoun case one of the most
intricate legal tangles which ever
has brought British society into the

Much Bad Feeling.
Custing of the insurgents left
considerable bad feeling in it's wake.
The insurgents were sore" toward
Administration forces, whole Repub-
Iican progressives, who aided the La
Toilette men, were ''peeved" toward
the Democrats, who maintained an
attitude Of strict neutrality through.
out the Republican quarrel. This
neutrality enabled the Administra-
ton forces to win.
A storm of warnings of dire po-
HtcaI consequences floated through
the Senate chamber as a result of
the battle. The Republican regulars
were told they would face defeat in
all Western States because of their
action and 1t was predicted Republi-
can voters in the West would look
upon the expulsion as direct insult
to their suffrage.
Democrats Lead Fight.
The insurgent row was expected
to spring up I'm the fight against
confirmation of Warren as Attorney
General. In this contest, the In-
surgents and their independent Re-
publican friends have been aligned
with progressive Democrats In OPP
posing the appointment. Rumor &
were current today that this support
would be withdrawn, leaving the
Democrats to make their fight alone
The insurgents, however, were ex.
pected to vote against confirmation.
Senators Walsh. Democrat, of
Montana, and Reed, Democrat, of
Missouri, were leaders in the contest
against Warren. Walsh predicted
his confirmation would result in sus
pension of the Sherman antitrust
law" while Reed depounced the
nominee for his connection with the
aRaAT industry.

YOAKUM,. Aug. S.-The second

to go to Austin to confer with the
State Highway Commission for that
purpose. A resolution was passed
that a bond issue of $250,000 be
called for and a request for an cleo
ton TO be held for the voting for
same at an early date. Ebert Kuck
was elected permanent chairman and
Louis POth permanent secretary of the
Good Roads Organization.
Ground has been broken for the
paving of several miles of Yoakum

CITY PLAN
IS Being SOUGHT

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex, Aug. s.
The city planning committee, of which
Ralph Bradford, secretary-manager of
the Corpus Christi Chamber Of Com
merce is chairman, has asked the
mayor and city commissioners to en-
ploy city planning expert in order
that the present growth Of the city
may be along more uniform lines.
The resolution calling on the city Of
ficials for action along this line, sets
out that the foundation of an intelli-
gent city plan was the transportation
system, the street system, parks and
recreation facilities, and the location
Of public buildings. The planning
committee believes that these matters
should be cared for while the city Is
making its growth rather than trying
to make the changes at some time in
the future, at which time the expense
would be much greater.
Another resolution asked that the
city commissioners empower the city
engineer to take such steps that viii
insure the correct alignment of all lots
in conformity to streets, especially in
new additions now being, or soon to be
opened. The beauty and the symmetry
of the city will be greately benefited
IL this action is taken, it was said in
the resolution.

BRICK SURVIVES
EARTHQUAKES
ACID TEST

Brick work has just gone through
the acid test and comes out with
lsurels tht must certainly increase
the favor of this type Of construction
in America.
The lesson of the earthquake in
Santa Barbara is that good, honest
brick-work will withstand even a very
severe tremor without damage. Early
reports from Santa Barbara were mis-
leading, and naturally so, because 1t
appeared that many brick buildings
had been wrecked.
Perhaps no disaster has been more
thoroughly and carefully investigated
By experts than has that at Santa
Barbara. and from these investiga-
tons there comes unanimously this
lesson. Good construction Of practical
" every kind withstood the shock. In
ferior construction, regardless Of the
materials used is unsuited to earth
quake zones. In the very heart Of the
business section Of Santa Barbara,
where the greatest damage was done,
there stands today solid brick wall
structures that are wholly undam-
aged.
The brick industry in the future
will put special emphasis on these
points: "q) Cross walls tied or
bonded thoroughly TO the main walls.
90 Proper ties and anchors at floor
and roof lines. (3) The use Of strong
mortar. az Braces for all walls ex-
tending above the roof line. 90 And
the thorough wetting Of brick prior to
being placed in the wall.

ager. About two-thirds of the sales
were made to home buyers and the
balance to investors for speculation.
"Our calls from investors are be-
coming more numerous every day. To
my mind, this indicates a continuous
activity in real estate as well as in all
lines of business. Real estate, as the
foundation of all security, is the nat
ural barometer Of the condition Of
every business. The activity displayed
by the real estate Spectator and in
yestor is a safe criterion for the aver
age person to 90 by. Now Is the time
