The Texas Primary

Had there been no presidential election this year,
the Texas primary Of last Saturday would have come
out just about it did
This indicates Texas has not been politically upset
by the nomination of Smith and that Smith will carry
that State because Democrats will not desert their
party, though prohibition and religious issues may
raised
It was expected that Governor Dan Moody would
e renominated and he
Lieutenant Governor Barry Miller was expected to
4un far ahead of Tom Love- former national commit
toenan, and he did If anything, Love cost himself
votes by boiling the party and announcing he would
vote for Herbert Hoover in November instead of Smith
Senator Earle Mayfed was expected to run high
est in the senatorial race with Representative Tom
Connally as his closest contender, and he did.
Because there was little Statewide interest in any
thing but the senatorial and Lieutenant Governor
races, a vote of slightly more than 100000 cast.
Such a vote is not below normal and Republicans
scarcely can say that Democrats stayed away from the
polls to avoid party pledge and thus pave the way
for giving their ballots to Hoover in November.
The election showed that Texas is not excited

over the national election all the announcements
party bolts OF the last few weeks would indicate
AL Smith to Texas appears to be just another Dem
ocrat trying to become President and Herbert Hoover
just another Republican,
Perhaps when the campaign warns up this fall, the
situation may change. 1t will have to- if the Repub-
cans expect get any electoral votes in that section
of the solid South. -

Some Rules to Keep Cool

Continued hot weather in all parts of the country
has brought constantly growing list of heat pros
trations.
There are certain rules to be observed in hot
weather if discomfort is to be avoided. Here are
few that you might bear in mind:
Don't overeat.
Drink plenty of cool water but avoid ice water.
Do not exercise violently.
Take the weather calmly. Fretting and worrying
merely makes it worse.
Battle often, but avoid too cold water.
Avoid alcoholic drinks

SAYS:

NN his sixty-flfth birthday, Henry
~ Ford gets up with the sun and
saws wood for half an hour. Thou
sands Of equally old men were up
just as early and worked hard all
day, they had to, and that makes
a difference.
Men who can afford to lie in bed
and elude the buck saw commonly
do. Your average millionaire is
much more likely to be found on
the golf course at 4 in the after
noon than beside wood pile at 4 in
the morning.
Ford's idea of opening a party
may be unusual, but is not inconsis-
tent with his career.
The fact that he has reached IS
IS less significant, perhaps, than is
the fact that he made his fortune
after 40. 1t certainly explodes DR..
Osler's pet theory.
According to Osler, Ford had
passed the peak and was ready for
the toboggan at the very time he
began to do things. At 40, he had
accomplished little. If any one
thought that one day he would be
ranked as one of the greatest in
duStrial leaders this world has ever
known, it was not recorded.
No doubt, he believed in himself,
and quite possibly his wife and a
few friends had hopes. AS for the
general run of his acquaintance,
they seem to have regarded him as
just one more poor devil trying to
get ahead.

.NNE of the greatest difficulties
" in determining the proper care
Of those persons who are mentally
defective has been the lack of any
standard series of terms that de-
scribe the various conditions.
In England, as pointed out by
Surgeon j. S. Wilson of the United
States Public Health Service, there
is a national act which distinguishes
carefully between the minded
Of various grades.
In this country, in most instances,
the American classification is fol-
lowed, which divides persons
mentally defective into three groups
idiots, imbeciles and morons.
In Texas there is a law which
defines a feeble-minded child as
one who has such feeble mental or
moral processes as to be unable
to benefit by the ordinary method
of education as employed in the
common schools.
A feeble-minded adult is one who
is unable under ordinary circum-
stances to protect and support him
self as law abiding citizen because
Of lack of mental power.
Doctor Wilson emphasizes the fact
that this law does not properly dis
tinguish between an imbecile or a
person with form of insanity like
dementia praecoX.
The term "feeble-minded" should
of course, be limited to those who
have a retarded or restricted de-
velopment of the brain and who are

care. predetermined persons who
are a social menace must, of course,
be segregated in training schools.
Those who are not anti-social in
their tendencies should be provided
for in special classes in public
schools.
Most important of all, however, is
education of the public as to the po-
tential danger of marriage when one
or more of the ancestors of either
one of the persons to be married
are feeble-minded or mentally de-
fective. Marriage license should be
refused to any one who is feeble
minded or insane, or whose blood
test, is positive for the serious
disease that produces such great de-
generation when it attacks the hui
man brain.

Dry Break Is Significant

is quoted as saying that The league lis merely group
of paid superintendent" and that it "has engaged in
a number of shady political deals" The league and
the party do not cooperate, he said.
The Prohibition party is not an important factor
in politics.
Its reputation of the league is illuminating, how
ever, for Mr. CoIvin and his colleagues should be in

unable when grown up to adapt
themselves to the life of the COM
munity.
Those who are concerned with the
future of the race recognize that the
lack of control over the feeble-mind-
ed tends to permit them to propa-
gate and to increase the number of
mentally defective people for the
future.
The various grades of feeble
mindedness must be considered,
since there are some persons not
able to use their brains to any adj
vantage, who nevertheless may earn
a living by indulging in definitely
restricted activities.
Hence any mental disturbance
calls for a most careful considera-
ton, a proper diagnosis and suitable

re did the custom Of using
CO S an emblem of Easter orig
mate?
Many ancient people regarded the
egg as an emblem of life. Borrow
ing it from the ancients the Chris
tians made the egg an emblem of
til Resurrection 81 ed it in
Easter festivities. BY them it was
regarded in the light of a prison or
tomb, from which future life es-
capped. The custom of coloring eggs
appears to be exceedingly old. The
Jews boiled their eggs hard and dec
grated the shells. LIE Brun says the
Persians always color their eggs and
have had the custom since ancient
times. Father CARMEL in his His
tory of Customs" states that colored
Easter eggs are to be found in Italy,
Spain and Province and that public
sports with eggs are held during
Easter period. 1t would seem that
the original purpose in coloring eggs
was to initiate chromatic dispersion
with which nature adorns the earth
by the rejuvenating breath of spring.
When the original custom was taken
over by the Christian Church the
eggs we're decorated principally in
red, to denote the blood of Christ.
What is buying stock on
margin?"
1t means buying on credit. Since
the broker has to pay in full for the
stock and the customer pays only
part of the price, the usual practice
is for the broker to borrow the
balance from the bank, pledging the
certificates as security for the loan.
If the stock falls to a point where
the margin" given by the customer
is wiped out the broker Immediately
sells it to protect his lo--l at the
bank. The amount of the margin
varies according to the 'ements
of the brokers and the - -ticular
stock that is bought.
What is the salary Of the Vice
President of the United States and
of the members of the United States
Senate and the use of r present
atiVes?
The salary of the Vice President
is $4,000 per year; those of Sena-
tors and Representatives $4,000.

the corner cop when we pay him to
serve us instead, costs us much more
than necessary by reason of having
four, five or six policemen on one
corner, when a set of go-stop signs
would not only change the traffic
to better advantage, but would elm
mate the hick town arrangement of
having the police blow whistles,
ring COW bells, etc. If they must
play, get them rattle instead.
Let the people cross the street at
their leisure and not be compelled
to swarm in impossible mobs. 1t is
bad enough to make a mistake like

three days trial, that the present

Mems Coats and Women's Dresses

: We hear a great deal these days Of women's fight
for sex equality but there is one point in which
woman gets all Of the breaks. That is in the matter
of hot weather clothes. Custom demands that a man
must keep his coat on, matter how hot the day or
how clean his shirt
There is hope, however. In Berlin recently bust
ness man, sitting in his Office removed his coat
Then he called his stenographer to take dictation.
She took one look at him and fed Then she filed
suit to recover her wages charging that her employers
removal of his coat constituted immoral conduct which
compelled her to give up her job.
The court we are glad to hear decided against
her, ruling that mans right to escape the heat by
sitting around in his shirtsleeves in inalienabe.
That's fine. Some day we hope that coats will be
laid away when July to be donned only on the
approach of autumn.
