What Is Bigness9

Have you ever asked yourself
what bigness in a boy or girl really
IS? 1t isn't just bigness of stature.
1t isn't bigness of muscle and
Drawn. The lad who tries to lord"
it over smaller boys is not big in
the right sense of the word, al
though he may have a powerfully
strong body,
Boys and girls who really are
big often are small to look at. One
of the biggest boys we ever knew
walked on a pair of crutches and
could not defend himself against
physical attack, Nevertheless, he
was a leader among the boys in his
school. He had a sunny smile and
pleasant nature, but he wasn't
easy" He had courage, too, and
although he could not defend him
self with his fists he never per-
mitted any one to boss" him The
DULLES who would have liked to
abuse him were afraid of his keen
eye.
Bigness is a boy or girl grows.
1t comes from within and has it's
birth in high ideals, noble thoughts
and kindly deeds.
How big are you?

COTTON PAINT is A
NEW PRODUCTION
SOUTE'S GREAT STAPLE TAX
ING ON MORE IMPORTANCE.
SNOW WHITE PRODUCT.

Cotton is taking on new import
ance. The Louisville Courier Journal
tells US that it makes a splendid ap-
plication for the bodies OF automobiles.
1t is called liquid cotton, and it was
born of necessity.
To the chemical engineer was put
the problem of producing an air-dry-
ing finish as tough and as durable as
baked enamel yet with the beauty OF
color varnish; a finish of sufficiently
low viscosity to be applied with a
pneumatic spray yet carrying a large
enough proportion of solids to have
build and covering capacity; and, fl
nally, a finish with hard, glazed sur
face that could be applied to the cheap
est top or the most costly piece of fur
niture. He solved it.
The first process is the digestion of
the impurities with chemicals under
pressure, followed by bleaching and a
series of washings. The last step is a
thorough drying in a machine resem-
bling paper mill. At this stage the
cotton has been transformed to a
snow white product resembling abb
sorbent cotton.
The next step is nitration, which is
done in steel tanks, the cotton being
introduced on the surface of the acid
mixture and submerged by rotating
paddles. The mixture of cotton and
acid is discharged into a centrifugal
wringer by which most of the acid is
removed from the ,nitrated cotton.
This substance is then boiled and
washed until the nitro-cellulose has at
tanned chemical stability sufficient
to insure long life.
Liquid cotton" is now at a stage
where it is soluble, but still contains a
large amount of water The removal
of this water is accomplished by the
displacement of the water with alco-
kol in large hydraulic presses.
A barrel of snow white cotton lin
tiers comes out in the form Of cotton
cheese"
The cotton cheese" is then dissolv-
ed in amyl acetate and the solution
filtered. This typeN solution either by
itself or mixed with a small amount
of gums or resins is a type OF clear
lacquer. 1t was first used also for de-
posting transparent, almost invlsl-
Bile coating on highly polished silver,
brass or other subjects to protect the
metal from furnishing.
Finely ground pigments are intro
duced into this lacquer which is then
treated to give greater covering
power, and the finished product is
ready for use
We are all very glad in Theses days
of high priced clothes that through
this new use OF cotton there will not
be so much of it left to make wooden
fabrics.

Go Half Way Around
Globe to Study Eclipse of
The Sun for Two Minutes
American Scientists Will Erect OBJ
servatories for Their Work in
Sumatra, Dutch East Indies.

An eight-month trip half way
around the world for a two-minute
glimpse of the sun in total eclipse.
That will be the experience of party
from the naval observatory, in Wash
ington, D, c. The party is now on its
way OF Sumatra, Dutch East Indies,
to see the eclipse in January, 1926.
Motion pictures and color plates OF
the eclipse will be made. Special at
tention will be given to the suns gases
and the suns corona as well.
The party is making the trip in a
naval minesweeper. 1t will arrive in
Sumatra late this month and will
spend the next three months in erect
ing an observatory. When the eclipse
occurs, however there will be only
two minutes for observation purposes.
That is, if it does not cloud over or
rain and make observations impossi-

PEOPLE WERE BURIED
ALIVE BY JAPANESE
BELIEVED HUM ANS WOULD
KEEP THE WALLS STRAIGHT.
SKELETONS DISCOVERED.

Evidence of terrible custom fol-
lowed in Japan until comparatively
recent years was uncovered few
weeks ago when workmen were re-
pairing damage done to the imperial
palace at Tokyo by the earthquake
of 1928.
Beneath the cornerstone of the ia
nous double bridge" which 'consti-
tutes the main entrance to the palace,
the laborers found eight human skele-
tons.
The position Of the bones indicated
that living men had long ago been
buried upright about II feet below the
bed OF the palace moat
Victims Highly Honored.
Japanese scientists and readers of
folklore, recalling the tradition of the
human pillar" asserted that these
were the skeleton of men who, CEN
turtles ago. offered their lives for the
immortalization of the cornerstone be-
ing laid for the then new palace.
They recalled how, in old Japan,
persons were sometimes buried alive,
frequently at their own request, at
the beginning of difficult peice of
engineering work in the belief that
their sacrifice would impart strength
and life to the undertaking.
Tradition has it that the men and
women who were accepted for the sac
rifce were accorded high honor. They
not only gave permanent solidity to
the foundation of a palace or temple,
but their souls won to the gods and
achieved an immortality outlasting
even that of the structure they died to
aid

FOR SHOOTING DOVES
OPENED FRIDAY IN GEORGIA
Hunters Got Busy Early That Morn
ing. Can't Kill Quail.

The season for hunting doves in
Georgia opened on Friday, and many
sportsmen hereabouts hauled out their
old shotguns-single shots, double
barreled and pump guns By the
crack of day there was booming in all
directions.
The attention of hunters is called
to the fact that they must procure a
state license to hunt out OF their own
counties, and a state or county license
to hunt off their own lands.
Although the dove season opened
Friday the new law forbids the killing
of cartridges and gray squirrels before
November goth.
Last year out of 100000 autos stolen
10000 were recovered.

The occupant Of the automobile, filled

If the slayer was Anderson, wreaking
vengeance on one who had turned up"
his pal and accomplice, supplying evi-

condemnation to death, he had COM

ed to banks in the drouth area in Texas,
w. Gregory Hatcher, state treasurer, an
nounced today upon return from visit

be shifted to the thirty five counties af-
fected by the drouth" he said this could

representatives of bond companies in

BUlLDERSSEEK
Time ON HOTEL
Amicable Agreement Ex-
pected by Tuesday
of This Week

The tourist hotel situation in Browns
Vile will come to a definite conclusion
Tuesday afternoon.
The contractors for the hotel, the
James Dickinson Farm Mortgage Co.,
have been given until that time to
post an additional forfeit on an agree
mert with the hotel committee, in case
ar agreement is reached by then.
The Proposition made to the pro-
moters by the cmomittee on Friday with
Saturday afternoon as time limit for
depositing an additional $500 forfeit
with so day limit in which to start
construction, has not been accepted by
the promoters, who are asking some
changes in the proposed agreement.
The promoters, in letter dated
August IA, and addressed to the hotel
committee, asked for an extension of SO
days from the time title is received
from the railway company to the pro-
posed site, provided that not more than
80 days should pass before the title be
secured. Dickinson agreed to de-
posit an additional guarantee of $25OO
besides the $4,000 already deposited.
They explained that in case anything
should fail to deliver title within 80
hsolud fail to deliver title within 80
days, the additional so days would give
them time in which to select another
site for the hotel
"On account Of having to readjus'
our hotel plans and take new bids and
the possibility Of having to select an
other location, we will agree in case, fol
amp reason we are unable to begin con
structon at the end Of the above period
we will put up an additional $500, de-
posted each 30 days we are delayed
thereafter" the letter states. I'm other
words we want to build this hotel, but
we must get everything in shape before
starting, which is not only to our ad
vantage, but to the advantage Of the
city of Brownsville.

the people deeply interested, realizing.
as they do, that the opening Of the port

work if we expect to obtain the desired
results 1t is manifestly unfair to ex-
pect one man to do it all and it is now
