Government Responsible Speaker
Says

ut is fundamental truism that
government must be just" Mr.. Lewis
said, land a government cannot say
this is my private business It must
be just in obedience to the very first
mandate of our constitution and our
institutions. Notwithstanding this
unquestioned duty on its part, the
government permits this gross dis
elimination in railway rates against
our region.
What can Congress do about this :?
Well Congress possesses the same
power to formulate railway tariffs in
interstate commerce that it possesses
to make import tariffs on goods COM
ing into our country. 1t has the full
power to handle the coal freight sit
uation by providing a just formula
under which railway rates on coal
shall be made in accordance with the
costs of railway carriage.

this freight rate discrimination, but

Two ClOse-Ups

The result of Scoops other two
hunting trips follow. The one is a
picture taken of one of the well-known
"feecers" of prospective married
couples, as he was in deep thought
trying to figure how to get around the
recent ordinance passed by the City
Council, which prohibits any solicita
ton.
In personal interview with the
"fecer," Scoop found why he was
trying so hard to figure way to
cheat the law" "You see, if l can't
beat the innocent lambs who come
here to get married, 1 might even
have to go to work." he urged. The
following snapshot was taken as he

The committee from Boston admitted
that "few New England mills are
operating at profit" but "it has been
demonstrated in the Carolinas. Georgia
and Alabama that it is possible for cot
ton mills making coarse goods to operate
successfully during periods Of depres-
sion when New. England mills have
failed"
There are many reasons for the sue
cess of mills in the South and par
ticularly in Texas. This State has
many advantages over even the Caro-
linas and Georgia rs locale for cotton
manufacturing.
In the first place, a mills investment
here will average for the same output
something like 70 per cent of the in
vestment necessary in other manufac-
turing sections. Texas workers live
largely in homes which they own. Few
are the company owned towns" in
Texas-few and unpopular. That cuts
costs wonderfully.
Then may be counted the saving in
cost of the heating plant. Whereas in
the New England States to heat the
average mill requires an investment
around Is per cent of the total amount
placed in the plant. in Texas that cost
shrinks to less than 5 per cent. This
also means vast saving in the over
head.

The textile industry is surely coming

logical place for cotton mill is where
the cotton itself is produced" also cells
attention to the movement Of the in

The report o; this committee espe-

are fairly low and not to be considered
as a detriment to the industry here;
that hours of labor permit mills to OPP
crate at a profit; that the character of
employees in Texas mills is high: that
wages Of competent employees are Is to
40 per cent less than in New England
and that fuel in Texas is plentiful and
cheap.

Present-Da Almanac
Traced to Old Greece

Far back in the days of ancient
Greece it was the custom to announce
the first day of the month either
through a herald or placards pasted
on the city walls. These placards
were known as kalends, or kolendae,
from the Greek, II call or proclaim"
The book of accounts referring to the
days of the year was known as u
calendarium, hence the word calendar.
Excavators at Pompeii have discov-
cred square block of marble which
served the Greeks as a calendar.
Each side served as record of three
months. Each month was headed by
the proper sign of the zodiac, and con-
tanned astronomical, agricultural and
religious information.
Tracing back the origin of the word
almanac, Verstegan, the famous old
photographer, says:
sour ancient Saxon ancestors used
to engrave on certain squared sticks
about foot in length, sometimes more,
sometimes less, the courses of the
incomes of the whole yeare, whereby
they alwaies certainly tell what new
incomes, full incomes and changes
should happen, as also their festival
daies and such carved stick they
called al-mon-aght; that is to say, al
mon-heed, to wit. the regard or OBJ
servation of all the incomes, and hence
is derived the name almanac"

Science Explains HotU
TsroeIffes Were Fed

The nature of the Biblical mamma is
thought to have been established by
an expedition which recently returned
from central Sinai. sN
The traditional theory was that the
Biblical mamma was identifable with
the tamarix mannifera, species of
the tamarix shrub which exudes a
sugary secretion called mamma. 1t was
thought that mamma was natural
secretion froiA the twfgs or buds
which were pi& iced by rodent insects.
The expedition has determined that
mamma is an excretion of the insects
themselves. which produce clear
syrup-like drops that, if sufficiently
abundant, fall to the ground. forming
whitish grains from the size of pins
head to the size of pea The guam
tity of this secretion depends on the
rain. but in a good season man can
collect about three pounds a day.

Families and Happiness

/ have learned that the happiest
people in the world are those who are
happily mated and have large families.
Although they do not say, as rule,
that they are happy, l often see the
envy in other peoples eyes. They
work hard, apparently not knowing
how disagreeable are the tasks thrust
on them, and without caring how much
their labors made them tired. When
the evening comes, they carry home
the profits of their toll and lay them
on the laps of the women who love
them. Perhaps, somewhere in the next
room, baby is crying. might find
it disturbing. They think it the most
beautiful music in the world.-Hannen

Breaking an Egg

The slightest tap against hard sur
face is usually sufficient to break the
shell of an ordinary egg. If, however,
pressure is exerted gradually at each
end of the egg it is often impossible
to break it with the bare hands. The
United States bureau of standards re.
Gently decided to find out just how
much pressure would be required to
break an egg in this manner. A pres
sure of 81 pounds had to be exefted
on the testing machine before the shell
of an egg gave way.

Garden Ided
BY Engliyll

In Piccadilly, In the center
don, the mother of gardens came
existence many years ago, according
to the Christian Science Monitor. 1t
was at Hatchard's, the well-known
bookseller and publisher, in 1904, that
John Wedgwood gathered his friends
together and unfolded a plan to "fos-
ter and encourage every branch OF
horticulture" and to collect every in
formation respecting the cultivation
and treatment of all plants and trees"
The founder of the House of Hatch
ard. John Hatchard, was in sympathy
with every project that made for the
good and enlightenment of mankind.
1t was suitable place for this society,
the mother of many affiliated societies,
to begin its worldwide operations. The
room where the first meeting took place
no longer exists, as the building has
been rebuilt since that time, but a
portrait of John Hatchard still hangs
in the comfortable lounge that forms
the shop. The picture shows the in
tellectual nature of the man. The
windows facing Piecadilly and the
wooden seat that in summer time is
placed in front of them carries one
back to a time when the rush and noise
of the London streets was less than
at the present time. There is an air
of leisure and other-worldness that Is
very pleasant to those passersby who
long to forget the hurrying feet and
noisy sounds of crowded thorough
fares.
The society did not receive its royal
charter till 1S09 which set forth that
its aim was the improvement of horti-
culture, ornamental as well as useful.
Well has it carried out it's resolutions.
