here, was the cilief weapon to be used
by the revolutionary jun:a Of San An

governor Of San Luis Potosi.
The fake agreement seized by fed

Gales and Morones containing several
common place provisions but one which
said in effect that Gales agreed to re-
place the federal soldiers with laborites

'VICTORS OPPOSE
REHEARINC FOR
ARCHER RULING
Attorney General Fails
to Offer New Evidence
in Plea to Supreme
Court, Petition Ayers
fRv The Associated Press. !,


WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. 20. The
supreme court was urged today to re-
fuse rehearing of the Archer county,
Texas road district case by counsel for
the property owners, who were success
full in their attack upon the constitu-
tionality of the case. Pointing out that
the attorney general of Texas and coun-
sci for Archer county both had filed
separate petitions for a rehearing, the
successful litigants contended in their
reply that no new grounds had been ad-
vanced by the state or county for urg-
ing the court to reverse its position.
Petitions for rehearing merely am
plify the defense originally presented
by the county to sustain the validity Of
the road district, opposing property
owners declared, insisting that the court
had fully considered and passed upon
adversely substantially every point now
relied upon by the state and county as
grounds for the court to set aside its
decision, which held the organization Of
the road district illegal.
Counsel for Perry Browning and 9TH
er successful litigants in the original
proceeding asserted in their reply brief
that the state and county are asking a
rel caring mainly upon the theory that
TIE burden complained of is a general
tax imposed by quasi-munieipal cor
poration in exercise of general taxing
power. This they declare, was not new,
but was in fact the original contention
of the state and county, and already
ad hx~
Although much stress has been placed
by the state and county in the petition
for rehearing upon the assertion that
the burden was placed upon an ad va
loren basis, there is nothing the re-
ply brief asserted, in the contention
which it was insisted already had been
fully answered by the supreme court in
another ease.
The Sovereign camp of the Woodmen
and the Supreme Forest Woodmen circle
Joined in filing in the supreme court
today petition asking to be permitted
as friends of the court to urge re-
hearing Of the case. They pointed out
that the Woodmen of the World have
$5,100,0O0 invested in road district bonds
of Texas anP s8,614 900 in bonds issued
by road districts in other states which
would be affected by the decision. The
Woodmen circle declared it had 100000
invested in such bonds
The decision not only affected valid
ity Of road district bonds issued in
Texas, they asserted, but also bonds
issued by road districts in Louisiana,
Florida, Mississippi and other states.

Helpless Type Extinct.

The trouble with great many
girls today is that they read 700
much trash-and that they belieVe
the trash, no matter how impractical
and untrue it may be.
There's one type of novel that mas
wrought a great deal of harm In the
minds of our young sentlmentai
maidens. That's the story OF the
lovely blue-eyed doll who couldn
even boil an egg all by hersei. NOT
could she sew-nor did she nave the
slightest idea what the words mouse
hold management" meant.
She's never earned a cent OF money
in her life-never did days work,
just been coddled and pampereo
from the day she was born.
Her adorable helplessness went
straight to the heart of delightful
young millionaire who married her.
set her up in luxury and swore that
she would always be protected from
hard toll as long as he was alive.
1t sounds easy, doesn't it? All you
have to do, if you happen to be born
with golden hair and blue eyes, is
learn to look helpless and appealing.
Then some large, expensiveiy
dressed gentleman will come tearing
along, just wild to make things easy
for you the rest of your life.
Actually, there are girls who be-
lieve all this applesauce. They think
that, with a little luck. they can get
through life without doing a min
ute's work. Whereas they haven't
chance of nabbing any man, no mat
ter how dumb he may be, unless
they're prepared to take a hand
somehow and help him out.
The helpless, adorable type is ex-
tinct.
The girl who attracts men now
adays doesn't fascinate by means of
her clinging. helpless femininity. She

age. But we probably have had suf-
Iiciently successful business careers
to show any man that we're capable
of taking hold and making things go.
Men aren't so dumb that they want
to tie themselves to 125 pounds of
uselessness.
They want the feeling that they've
got something to depend on. And
the only way they can get that feel
ing is by examining our past records
and seeing whether there's any sort
of effort worthy of note to our
credit.
If they find that we've been peace
fully sitting with folded hands wait
ing for something beautiful to hap
pen, they won't be easily persuaded
to take on the responsibility of look
ing after us for the rest of their
lives.
Men-rea1 men-want some signs
of stability and worth in the woman
they marry.
You wouldn't marry a man whose
past life showed no work or effort of
any sort, would you? You wouldn' t
think you could depend on him. Then
YOU cant expect him to take a chance
on you, when he discovers that
you've been trusting to luck to see
YOU through the world. You must
have some kind of a record to he
