HAS SCUM IT'S
IN VANITY CASE

Mrs. Pinkie vann. Cameron
county sheriff. has Joined the
"six-gun" sheriffs Of Texas.
But the Cameron county Off
Ger makes no o~stentatious display
of the fact. She wears no holster
with the butt Of a "six-gun" pro-
truding therefrom to intimidate
the criminal and apprise the pub
lie she is an officer of the law
The lady sheriff decided that
pistol holsters disarray the gen
eral harmony of ladies' apparel,
and carries her "six-gun" in a
vanity case.
The abbreviated piece Of artil-
lery was recently presented Mrs.
vann by one of her deputies. The
deadly" weapon is 22-calibre,
and is alleged to have a maximum
range Of approximately l5.5 feet
without elevating the sights. The
muzzle velocity has not been def
initely ascertained, but firing
tests have proved that the bullet
can not be seen with the naked
eye as il leaves the gun.
Mes. Vann was not the least
offended when a friend suggested
that a hardened criminal would
probably have more fear of a dose
Of quinine than the miniature
piece of artillery. She admitted
it had some disadvantages, but
stated she was not carrying 10
for ornamental purpose, and prov
ed the fact by asserting she car
ried it in her handbag at ali
times.

BY CLAUDE A. JAGGERS
ASSOCIATED Press Financial Writerl

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.@LR-The
stock market lunged forward with
unprecedented speed today, plling
the greatest volume of sales in any
short session in history. More than
two dozen issues were lifted TO rec
ord prices for the year or longer, a
number Of gains ranging from 80
TO $23.
The ticker was hopelessiy clog
ged endeavosing to follow the pace
of trading, and ran for an hour and
a half after the market closed. IS
traders crowded brokerage offices
in anxious efforts TO learn what had
happened to their orders In the de-
luge. Sales ~totalled 3,207.00 shares.
in contrast to the previous Saturday

erage price of 20 railroad issues

year. The average Of 20 industrials
was boosted to a new high record
at S235.35, up $2.65.
Developments Favorable
Although the market plainly was a
law unto itself and had little time
to scan the news Of the day, the few
Developments were highly favorable.
The United States Steel corpora
ton unexpectedly announced u sub
stantial increase in untitled orders
for the end Of October. A decrease
was widely expected, in view of the
fact that ingot production for that
month broke all October records. A
stock exchange seat sold for $780,
600, equalling the previous record
price. Bankers were inclined to re-
wise upward their estimates of the
volum of the current gold movement
from England. as sterling hung be-
low the gold point.
Atlantic Coast Line. Central, Of
New Jersey, Great Northern prefer
red, Kansas City Southern, New
York Central and Pere Marquette
stepped up 2 to 4 points. Texas
and Pacific was a weak spot, reced-
ing 4 points.
New G.. NJ. Gets Play
The new shares of General Motafs,
traded in for the first time, on a
when issued basis. held around SO
in a heavy turnover.
Mexican Scaboard took the lead
crship in the oils. surging ahead
more than s points. and crossing so
for the first time this year. Barns
dali issues. Sicily. Transcontinental
and Standard Of California also ex-
tended their gains.
U. s. Steel saeged more Nan a
point. and A. NJ. Byers was depress-
ed more than 3 points in profit
taking. Atlantic Refining, Cluett
Peabody. Commercial Investment
Trust. General Railway Signal and

NEALE TAKES
LIQUOR M
FRONT PORCH

Speaking Of tough breaks
w. A. Neale, deputy United
States customs collector for
Brownsville. played an important
part in running somebody's cele-
bration at $3.50 a. m. Saturday
when he happened to find two
bottles of imported French liquor
sitting on the front porch along
side the mornings milk.
But was il two or eight bottles?
That's the question that's got
the custom inspectors scratching
their heads at the present time.
Each bottle had four separate
partitions and four separate necks
and we're loaded with four separ-
ate necks and were loaded with
four separate varieties Of French
"liquer" yet the outside bottle
covering was the same.
In announcing his find. Neale
declared that no one had yet ap-
peared at the customs house to
file claim.

Poincare's Move
To Form a New
Cabinet Futile

PARIS. Nov. 10.@Pl-The new
French government probably will
not be ready to participate tomor-
row in the tenth university Of the
Armistice. Raymond Poincare con-
tinued his efforts to induce N
agreement between parties which
would enable him to form a coali-
ton cabinet but the result appar-
emily was in as much doubt as
when he submitted his r~esigna-
ton.
The radical party is still the
stickler. its leaders informing Poin-
care that they would not authorize
their members to enter a cabinet
with any representatives of the
union republican. the moderate
group which is second in strength
Of all the groups in the chamber.
There is talk Of eventual d~issolu-
tion of the chamber of deputies and
the new elections with a view Of
bringing out a majority on one
side or the other.

PARIS, Tex, Nov. 10.-[P-Tes-
timony that the late w. J. Melon
aid was rational was offered by
three witnesses here today in the
suit in which McDonald's heirs seek
TO upset the financier's will which
b~equeathed $3.50, 900 to the Univer-
sity Of Texas. The money was
given to build an astronomical OBJ
servatory.
Morgan Johnson, u ginner and n
farmer of Paris. testified that he
and his mother frequently consult
ed Mcdonald on business matters
and that Mcdonald seemed rational
at all times. Johnson said that In
his opinion Mcdonald was a thor
ough business man.
Barney Bray, whose farm prop
erty adjoined McDonald's home, told
the court that he had known Me-
Donald since he Bray was a small
boy and that he had never heard
the capitalist talk i~rrationally.
Bray's testimony attacked that of a
witness for the contestants who tes-
titled that sometime during the win
ter Of 1924 Mcdonald had become
frightened and fled from the house
and that he had gone into the Nc
Donald house and telephoned at the
request of a negro servant. Bray
testified that there was no tele-
phone in McDonald's house in 1924
or 1926.
T. NJ. Scott, who heads a Paris
abstract and loan company said that
he had had numerous dealings with
Mcdonald and hat the latter was
normal mentally and perfectly ra-
tional in all the dealings the two
had had with each other. Scott
said that he went to Rochester, at

JUDGE HAYCRAFT SENTENCES
GIRL CHARGED WITH FORGERY

The young woman arrested on a
forgery charge in this city, may con-
slider herself very fortunate in escap-
ing long term within the drab en-
closure of prison walls, says the
Jackson Pilot.
In pronouncing sentence Monday af-
ter a plea of guilty, Judge Haycraft
sentenced Miss Featherstone to a
term of not more than five years at
the women's reformatory at Sank
Center, and the sentence was sus-
pended upon the promise of the Of
fender to keep free from bad COM
pany in the future and return the
money she had received by the for
geries.
Miss Featherstone was arrested in
this city on May 25th, when she was
recognized by Rudolph Sabatka as
the person who had passed forged
check at the Ashley drug store few
days previous. The girl confessed to
the fact that the forgeries had been
made in order to secure funds to pay
a fine hanging over the head of a
man by the name of Fisher who re-
sides at Milbank, S. D., and has a
wife and two children.

VALUABLE WORK

A cleanup week was held recently
in Portland, Ore, and the result of
one of the most interesting expert
ments to be attempted by an Ameri-
can city proved valuable in two ways.
The paper drive was one of the
weeks big features. This consisted
of the collection of every possible
scrap of waste paper to lessen fire
hazards and make the city more
beautiful for it's rose festival. School
children and Boy Scouts worked in
the cause and it was busy week.
At the end of the week it was an
nounced that 100000 pounds of old
paper-magazines, scrap paper, news
papers and other waste-had been
carried to the fire houses, where it
was weighed and baled. For this
work the youngsters earned $4,000.
The example set by Portland could
well be followed by other cities, es-
pecially where many Of the streets
are Uttered with dirty scraps. Port
land not only tidied up with a VEN
geance, but the boys and girls learn
ed splendid lesson in savings.

THE NEW DOLLAR BILL

The new 81 bill which will make
its debut about October 1, greatly
curtailed as to size, will be in much
better position to battle its worst foe,
the oil station attendant than here
tofore according to a hearing held
before the house committee on ap-
preparations. The new bill will be
approximately one inch shorter and
three quarters inch narrower than the
old bill and will be made of a COM
position containing rs per cent linen
and 25 per cent cotton. A check-up
made shows that once in every seven
times a bill chances hands it is ac-
cepted by motorist for oil or gas
and that in this operation the bill
picks up grease spots that shorten
its life. The government estimates
that by Strengthening the stock and
reducing the size it will save $246,-
IT'S annually.-Ex.
