HAROLD LLOYD-PALACE

The laughs evoked by Harold
Lloyd's omedies--whether they
were Grandmas Boy or Girl Shy or
Safety Last, have always come from
the heart because his characterize
tons never fail to sneak into your
heart and demand your sympathy.
Such a. character Is Harold Lamb,
the Freshman starting today at the
Palace for a five day engagement.
The Freshman is the most pathet-
ic of all living creatures-some one
wanting 10 be loved. Admiration.
hero worship he craved--every
mans friend and nobody's enemy.
With this craving for popularity
and his campaign to achieve that
goal carefully laid out, Harold goes
to college-and Is promptly spotted
as boob. The ideals that color his
fancy they are blind to. They see
only sport model Freshie with old
fashioned trimmings. They prompt
ly tie his goat and ride it.
After many attempts to become
popular at the college, Harold Is
told he cannot possibly be SO unless
he makes the football team. So
Harold, ambitious to become the
college hero and undaunted by the
fact that he was only Freshie set
out to accomplish the impossible,
Harold Llyod will be shown every
afternoon and twice every evening,
at seven and eight-thirty. There
will be a continuous show on Satur-
day.

DAVIDSON TALKS
BEFOREEDITORS
Highway, Prison System
Overhauling Advoca-
ted Here

Changes in the primary election laws
of the state in. order to secure a more
popular result in the selection of
candidate for governor. changes in the
libel laws of the state in order to per-.
nit newspapers to more freely discuss
candidates for public office, a complete
revision of the highway system, and a
more progressive spirited government
were the sweeping CHARGES advocated
by Lynch Davidson of houston Vat the
Texas Editorial association meeting to
day.
Mr.. Davidson spoke before the edi'
tors and several Brownsville people
who assembled in the federal court
room to hear him.
Changes in the election laws advo-
Gated by Mr.. Davidson call for vote Of
each citizen for first and second choice
on the ballot in the first primary. He
explained that under the present sys-
| TEN the candidate who is favored by
the largest number of persons in the
state for either first or second place
may come out third or foSrth in the
| first primary, thus preventing the
election of the candidate whom the MAJ
jority of the people would prefer to see
in office.
| In connection with this Mr.. Davidson
j advocated less stringent libel law, IN
order to help people of the state in
forming an opinion.
With the statement that 1.-THE high
Aways of the country are the roads OF
/ destiny" Mr.. Davidson went into q
discussion Of Nthe highway situation
advocating a revision in order that the
| county might have equal -power with
| the state in the handling of road funds
| in the county. and that the highway
work. might be done more efficiently
with better paid and more carefully
| selected officials.
He declared that the country needs
honesty and integrity in government
and IN the handling of highway mat
| ters.
The use of convicts On the highways
was also advocated by Mr.. Davidson
who mentioned what Virginia did II
1924 with 1000 convicts on the high
ways, declaring that work was done by
the convicts that would have cost the
state three million dollars if done bs
contractors, .sand | am not talking OF
Texas highway contracts either, nc
declared
s.Texas has 1000 convicts did
have yesterday-of which about 250t
are able to work, both physically ano
| mentally Using these on the highways
Texas could more than double what
Virginia did In 1924.
He also advocated Capitalization OF
the IA prison farms in the state. scat
tered from the Red river to the Gulf
Of Mexico. The prison system of the
state can never be what it should be
unless the prison system is indepen-
dent.
