A precautiop that will prevent
chipping or breaking of cut glass and
china, while washing. is to put a tur-
kish towel in the bottom of the
washpan. Or use wooden bowl for
washing. And always slip the piece
in edgewise to avoid cracking.
Leaking Water Pipe
Ordinary yellow soap and little
whiting mixed with just enough wa
ter to make thick paste, bound over
the leak in a water pipe, will prove
satisfactory until the plumber ar

Highways Build Dallas

Credit for the development Of Dallas, with its vision
OF still further progress, was given to highways and
trade arteries by j. W. Slaughter. Dallas county com
missioner. in a recent address before the Dallas Real
Estate Board. The commissioner pointed out that de-
v~elopment Of Dallas as a great trade center had been
in accord with the extension Of the highway systems
throughout the eity's trade territory.
Denied the advantages Of a port such as Houston
possesses, Dallas has devoted her energies toward I'm
proving highway and rail transportation. A system Of
hard surfaced roads radiate from the city throughout
the major portion Of the trade territory, and rail
service has been brought to maximum efficiency.
Through unceasing effort Dallas has been enabled TO
meet the competition Of port cities and maintain one
of the most prosperous trade territories in the south
Houston in recent years has devoted her energies
toward development Of her port facilities, and until
last year gave little attention TO development Of high
way and rail facilities to supplement the port. Hous-
ton also has grown and thrived, but not to the extent
that would have been possible had a well-balanced pro-
gram been adopted including development of highway
and rail transport as well as water transportation.
Highways and railroads are essential to the devel-
opment of a port, and Houston, with awakened interest
in highway extension, will make her port the nucleus
for an immense trade territory, all of which will add
to the tonnage handled over the ship channel.
transportation is the key to civic development as
well as national progress. 1t is possible to develop a
great inland trade center which may lack the adyan-
tages of water transportation, but as a rule the most
prosperous trade centers are those formed by a com
bination Of water, rail and highway transport. These
three are so closely related that lack of proper balance
will seriously affect all. In other words, the hest port
in the world would be valueless unless supplemented
by adequate rail and highway facilities, and a large
inland rail center cannot expect extensive development
and maximum prosperity unless its rail lines are sup
plemented By highways which are the arteries to the
trade territory.
Dallas Is developing her transportation facilities 10
the highest degree, and as a result the city is one Of
the most prosperous distributing points in the south.
Houston, with her added advantage Of deep water, is
beginning to awaken to her opportunity and has evil
denced an intention to correct her errors Of the past
by promoting highway systems which will supplement:
her water and rail facilities.

THE MAN WHO WOULD BE A SAINT
CMemphis Commercial AppeaD.

NMeMphlS commercial Appeal.
Under the title Of 1.-THE Man Who Would Be King
Rudyard Kipling wrote a weird yet engrossing story.
IL was the story of a British soldier who established
himself king over a tribe that was "half devil ara
half child" Everything went well with the king until
ne wanted a wife and selected one Of the native women.
She objected to the marriage with the soldier whom
her own people regarded as some sort of super-being.
and she bit him on the arm. The blood came and IL
was revealed to the natives that their king was only
such a human as themselves. Thereafter his expert
ences were most tragic.
The difference between being a king and being a
SAINT is the difference between the Kipling story and
what Is claimed to be the experience of another British
soldier known as Colonel Lawrence, but who is said
TO be Private Shaw. According to the story, which is
not admitted officially, Colonel Lawrence went 70
Amritzar in Northern India to learn about the activi-
ties oil the Bolshevists in seeking to penetrate the conn
try. He attired himself in Moslem garb. surrounded

special motorized unit Of all lines. 1t is an effort on
a small scale to test the practicability of moving into
battle line a highly mobile force Of great striking
power. The mechanical force includes infantrymen
and small tanks, engineers, signal corps, machine guns
and light artillery and medical units moving up by
truck and heavy tanks by rail.
1t is the progressive development and not the idea
that is new, of course. Gallieni rushed his taxicab
army to help Joffre on the Marine, and in every subse-
quent drive the allied troops went from sector to Sec

ride a truck or to hike.
The truck Of the new mechanical experiment is q
de luxe affair in which there is a central rack for arms
and a place for equipment other than the soldiers
shoulder blades. The thing hasn't gone far enough
to include a manicure parlor. But for the present It
is enough.
Two difficulties would seem TO loom in this bust
neess, however. First, no mechanical unit is going 70
reach a jumping-off line. There is going to be some
point at which the tanks must be grounded and the
foot soldier put at his footsore job. And past expert
ence is that that point is going to be a long hiking dis
lance from the objective.
The other is that If the mechanical unit never hikes
except actually in the lines, it is going to be swamped
BY volunteers for the sort Of transport which isn't pro-
PEELED on shoe leather. There will only be two services
in the army that will not require conscription-fying
and sitting.

MOVE To |NDICT

PRAISED

BOSTON, March 30.-The HearsI
revsnaners were commended today
bv noted men of greater Boston Tor
their movement toward indictment
of H. M. Blackmer and ]. E. O'Neh'
expatriated oil magnates.
"The entire rotten trail should De
uncovered" Representative Roland
D. Sawyer, Of Ware. told the Boston
Evening American.
"After repeated failure to secure
the naval oil reserve during the
roosevelt and Wilson admintstra-
films the use of a corruption fund
of $1,000, 900 enabled the oil gang TO
secure the same from the Harding
administration.
"This constitutes the biggest ma
kional scandal our Government mas
ever known. The Hearst newspaper
service Is to be commended Tor
using its great influence and tire
mendous power to uncover informa-
ton to that end"
other comments follow:
Chairman Francis e. Slattery. or
schools house commission: Every
means should be taken to establish
facts in the oil scandal. Ii the
facts justify indictments, It seems
to me part of justice to protect
society and render them.
Daniel J. Harkins, New Engiano
passenger manager for the United
american steamship lines: II
Blackmer and O'Neil are needed
to clean up some points in this OIL
affair, by all means get them back
here. Indict them If necessary Il
they will not return voluntarily 70
tell what they know.
Clement A. Norton, Super1nten-
dent Of Commonwealth Fer:
everything should be done to clear
IN this smelly oil situation even
II II means indictment Of FL. M.
Blackmer and J. e. O'Neil to get
them before the Congressional Com
n1ittee. The case is long and drawn
out and if these men can clear up
any OF the questions involved, by
all means take steps to get them
back here.
Edmund A. Connell, passenger
manager of the Dollar line: get
O'Neil and BIackmer, former oil
magnates. back to this country TO
testify about the affairs Of the Con-
tinental Trading Company. IL 1t
will clarity matters, hope action,
indictment or otherwise, will be
speeded.
