Especial to The Herald)

SAN BENITO, Dec. 12.-Resolu-
lions opposing any change in the le-
gal form of the San Benito irriga-
ton district, opposing a constitu-
tional convention for Texas, and
favoring enlargement Of the South
Texas State Teachers college 10 pro-
vide for a chronological department
we're passed at the meeting of direc-
tors of the San Benito chamber Of
m here Monday night.
The directors opposed any change
in the legal form Of the San Benito
irrigation district in keeping with
the policy which this section has
adopted in regard TO issuing road
bonds. The San Benito section has
held that the bonds should be issued
as originally planned. and not faster,
and failure Of this water district to
change its legal form probably will
prevent issuance Of the bonds at a
more rapid rate.
Opposition to the proposed cor
stitutional convention was based on
the statement hat the constitution
IS IL now stands IL a better docu-
ment than could be framed by any
constitutional convention in Texas.
The directors endorsed the South
Texas State Teachers college en-
largement plan, to furnish n techno-
logical college for south Texas.
Several other matters, including
port developments, were discussed at
the meeting.
The directors also endorsed the
work of the Cameron County Health
Unit. and favored continued opera
tion Of the health unit.

About 40 cars of coal per month are going up from the Healy River Coal Corporation property at Healy to the power plant of the Fairbanks Exploration Co.,, and for the local needs of Fairbanks consumers, ac- oording to c.

It seems a doctor asked him

with tonic, why not rub a stimu-
lating tonic into the scalp that
will revive those inactive glands
so nature will resume putting pig
ment into the hair tubes of people
who are gray? His search led to
endless experiments, but the
reader may now obtain at drug

CHAPTER 1a

CE1A1 EN- Is
The parlor car squeaked like
cheap new shoes, and shuddered
down its length. It was hard to
hold your balance going along the
aisle; you had to grab the backs
of the chairs to steady your
self. In the little square
wash room with the red-brown
woodwork and the mirrors and the
shiny nickel basins, it was harder
still. Everything swayed. The
green curtains that shrouded the
door swayed. The great tear Of
water you drew in one basin slid
jelly-like from side to side. The
triangular towels with the blue
belts Vibrated on their lofty iron
rack. Everything kept time to
the tune of the train, to the
thunderous drum of it's wheels.
Wen be there Soon," re-
marked Mrs. Minafee.
Yes" said Dolly. "In about Is
minutes. Nick said. Oh shoot
how do you work this soap jigger.
Minnie?"
Mrs. Minafee demonstrated. I'm.
portantly. Mrs. Minafee did all
things Importantly. She was a
plump, shapeless person, made of
pillows; a florid and shortwinded
person, whose body belonged to
ease but whose spirit, lodged in
that body like wheels in a pud-
ding, drove her on lifelong
round Of BUSINESS.
She sat down now on the single
chair and regarded Dolly's back
with bright pleased eyes. Her ex-
preston was one of pride, pos
sessive pride. Even maternal
pride. At the same time she
looked a trifle awed. Dolly
Quinn as one OF her boarders had
never awed Mrs, Minafee: but
Dolly Quinn as Miss Manhattan,
prize beauty, bewitchingly CARRIED
and on her way to receive the
adulation of myriads--weE, there
as a glamour strange and new
about this Dolly. Only by re-
minding herself of her own pro-
motion from the rank of landlady
to that of beauty's chaperon did
Mrs. Minafee conquer an impulse
toward actual humility.
Sitting forward in her chair,
one pulpy elbow resting on the
ledge beside her, she OFFICIALLY
itemized Dolly's attire and gloated
over it. The tan kid shoes with
the big bronze buckles. The chif-
fon arrow-heeled hose. The tan
gown. A simple gown, subtly
striking; part of an ensemble. A
tan cloth coat lined with the silk
of the dress, collared and cuffed
widely in summer ermine, went
with 1t. And a most becoming
tan beret, with an odd wee
bronze ornament.
A certain wardrobe trunk in
the baggage car contained, Mrs.
Minafee knew. many other gar.
ments and accessories, equally ex-
quisite. The woman Who did
fashions for the Star had helped
Dolly select them; and the
Star had paid the breath taking
bills 80"
