TEXAS ROAD
CONTRACTS
Attorney General Sargent
Will Look Into Alleged
Federal Shortage.
BY ARTHUR HACHTEN
Universal Service staff Correspondent.

Universal Service Staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-An in
vestigation into the use of federal
funds for road construction in Texas
during the administration of Gov
ernor "Ma" Ferguson, to determine
whether there have been any irregu-
larities. has been asked of Attorney
General Sargent by Senator Mayfield
of Texas.
Assurance was given by Mr.. Sargent
that an inquiry will at once be made
to ascertain whether there is n dis
crepancy of S250.000 in the federal
accounts, as testified in a recent suit
of the State of Texas against the
American Road Company, the senator
declared.
simultaneously with this move Sen
ator Sheppard of Texas indicated that
he is making an inquiry into the entire
system of federal aid to the states in
road construction, with a view to
amending the law ito prevent squan-
dering of funds and save the federal
and state governments from needless
expenditures.
TESTIFY TO SHORTAGE.
Thus the bitter road controversy in
Texas is headed for a thorough sift-
ing in Congress. when that body con-
venes next month.
Much of the attack against the
woman governor has centered around
what is declared to have been squandcr-
ing of state funds through over-pay-
ments in road contracts.
"Since the federal government has
contributed money under the federal
aid act for the construction Of state
highways in Texas, 1 feel there should
be an investigation to determine what
has been done with the money" said
Senator Mayfield.
a state highway clerk in a recent
suit of the state against the American
Road Company testified to a dis
crepancy of s250,000 in the federal
highway fund" he added.
MAY ASK REPORT.
While the federal government makes
a check on expenditures for construc-
ton Of highways before advancing
funds to the states, it does not require
further reports from the states on
funds used in maintaining the roads,
Senator Sheppard said.
Il believe that the interests of the
federal government of funds spent in
maintenance of highways" he added.
Certainly If states waste money on
their own highways and then ask the
federal government for aid in build
ing others the central government
should know it."
A letter sent by Senator Sheppard
to Thomas II. Macdonald, chief of the
federal bureau of public roads. asks
for suggestions on how to present law
might be amended to protect the fed
eral government.

JIMMIE LIKES
CHARLESTON
FOR PEP
Grass Girl Lets Off Steam
by Going Through Cyra-
tons of Dance.
She's rot it

OhO kOt ~
Jimmie English, San Antonio's
"grass girl" is suffering with a brand
new affliction.
She has an attack of the Charles
ton.
A few days ago little Jimmie, far
from home was afflicted with a ma
lignant form of inconsistencies. But
Monday afternoon the big choo-choo
brought her TO her own city of flow
ers and sunshine.
And that's just why she "has" the
Charleston now. San Antonio weather
makes her feel so "peppy" that she
simply can't sit around and hold her
hands. In fact. she's so full of life
and so happy and well that doing the
Charleston is just a means of "let-
ting off steam"
KNOWS HOW IT'S DONE.
Jimmie doesn't pretend to be very
expert at the Charleston. But she
knows how it ought to be done, any
way.
"The most 'portant thing is to act
like a jack-in-the-box would if he got
excited" said Jimmie. Il took my
first lesson by watching a puppy hay
ing fit.
Il think whoever invented the
Charleston must have been crazy. Or
maybe they copied it from someone
that had just sat on one of these
trick seats that are charged with
'lectricity. Anyway, even if it does
make your bones dislocated, / like
it"
TEACHES FAMILY.
Jimmie is teaching her family and
the neighborhood the Charleston, and
is receiving numerous applications for
lessons from little boys for blocks
around. A pair of blue eyes can
cause even callous little boys to do
that which they would give an arm
or head not to do.
Back in st. Louis, in the Children's
Hospital where Jimmie spent so many
months getting well, the kiddies
brought Charleston germs into the
wards from homes where the grown
ups were victims.
"The other little girls taught me
what l know about (which isn't
much,- said Jimmie.
BETTER THAN GYM"
Don't you think the Charleston
would be better exercise than gym
work? 1t takes a better man to do
the Charleston than to punch sand
bags or play football. They could
have Charleston matches stead of box
ing bouts couldn't they?"
When Jimmie went 10 st. Louis
for an operation on the lung that
had been diseased by q blade of grass
she had inhaled four years before,
she could scarcely walk-much less
dance the Charleston. Now she
Charlestons to breakfast every morn
ing.
Il doubt If you could call what !
do exactly the Charleston" Jimmie
said conscientiously. But it's near
ly as rough, anyway. A grasshopper
might think it is his own special gait,
but JUS to be stylish les call it the

HARRISON SCORES
Favored CLASSES"
"Jetersonian Justice Is Democ
racy's Demand" He Tells
ackson Meeting.

Special Dispa tch to The Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, January So
"Jeffersonian justice is democracy's
demand" declared Senator Pat Har-
rison of Mississippi, addressing the
guests at a Jackson day banquet
here Wednesday night.
The purchase, of special favored
legislation said Mr.. Harrison,
either through protective tariff
duties or class legislation in the form
OF subsidies, is just as repugnant to
Democratic principles as govern
mental structures upon the liberties
and freedom of men and the un-
reasonable regulation of private
business. The tendency of vesting
the National Government with pow
ers never contemplated by the Con-
stitution reveals the fact that Jeffer-
son was right when he said that our
country is too large to have all of
its affairs directed by a single Gov
eminent and that, after all, the en-
croa chments of a State Government
tend toward liberty, while those of a
general Government tend toward mon
archy'; that 1T is far better to be ex
posed TO the inconvenience attending
too much liberty than those attending
too small degree of it, and the least
governed are the best governed
stop Moneyed Aristocracy.
We must return to governmental
simplicity, economy and straight
dealing. We must put a stop to
moneyed aristocracy through the in
strumentality of political organi2a-
lions and through agencies poisoning
the minds and prejudicing the hearts
of the public through the sordid and
profligate use of money. We must
deport ourselves through steadfast-
ness to the Democratic faith and the
espousal of wise Democratic policies
so as to regain and hold the conf
dence of honest business. We must
consult more often the eSmanship
of jefferson and revive the courage
reflected in the administrative acts Of
Jackson. In our dealings with all ma
tions we should shirk no RESPONSE
bility and welcome every opportunity
that will draw 10 US in more cordial
and friendly relationship all peoples
of the world. If we can forget the
differences of the recent past and, in
spired by the spirit of tolera ton, re-
dedicate ourselves TO the progressive
principles of right, justice and equal
ity, We will soon wrest this Govern
ment from the sordid hands that now
grip it and the selfish influences that
direct it and make it ever again q. fine
and happy place in which to labor
and to live

Finds Average Motorist Wasting
80 Per Cent of His Gasoline POlUer

The average motorist wastes so per
cent Of the available power of gasoline
as a motor fuel. The waste is dis
charged in the engine exhaust in the
form of combustible gases, the Bureau
OF Mines has determined by a series of
tests, results of which were made pub
lie today.
Improper carburetor adjustment was
blamed for the major part of the APP
proXimate so per cent waste of the
power i'll gasoline by drivers of motor
vehicles
THE average carburetor." the report
said, was found to be adjusted too far
on the rich side--or in other words, an
insufficient amount of air was admitted
with the gasoline for good economy and
proper combustion" That this condi-
ton of rich adjustment exists almost
universally is mainly due, the bureau
found, to the fact that carburetor set
tings give good power over a wide varia-
ton extending from moderately rich to
moderately lean adjustments, while
those for the desirable combination of
both good power and good economy are
on the lean side. This, together with
the fact that under certain conditions
the fexibility of operation decreases
somewhat with the lean adjustment,
would create a natural tendency toward
a rich and more wasteful mixture
Attaches Blame to Driver.
An additional reason Tor such ad-
justments is that the present day auto
mobile with its many auxiliary ap-
pliances, such as hot spot, choke, pre-
heated air, etc. are little understood by
the average driver. The tests conducted
by the bureau involved a method of
analyzing the exhaust gases which
gave directly the exact gas-air mixture
that was being supplied to the engine
