Queer Stories Told By the
Headlines

Queer stories are told in the headlines of the
daily newspapers. Wisconsin gave a tremendous
majority for the Hoover and Curtis electors. And
Hoover and Curtis represented the ideals of the III
ira pros Of the republic. AT least this was the claim,
made by the republican orator while the fight was
on last year.
Now in a state referendum the voters OF Wlscon-
sin declare for the repeal Of the state prohibition
enforcement act. They declared for the removal OF
penalties for home brew manufacture. George NJ
Cohan was right when he said, Life Is a queer
proposition after all"
Michigan had a life for a pint" law. It pro-
vlded life Imprisonment for the fourth offender and
the first victim was a woman, the mother Of eight
children who had been fined four tunes 1or 'he
sale Of home brew beer.
Well, Michigan which gave an overwhelming
majority for the Hoover and Curtis electors has re-
pealed the life for a pint law.
Gov. Fred w. Green Is a republican. Four-flfths
OF the lawmakers are republicans. Gov. Green
signed what is known as the Watson bill, eliminat-
ing 100 minor felonies from the list Of crimes Whleh
draw the life penalty for a fourth offense"
incidentally, the Watson law became effective
Immediately and Gov. Green issued a pardon to the
woman rfer who was caught in the first dragnet q
clared that she resigned in order that she mlght
the "lfe for a pint" measure.
Mrs. Charles H. Sabin of New York. wife OF a
nationally known banker and financler, has resigned
from the republican national committee. she de-
work for a change III the pro laws. Speaking Of
federal prohibition she said at a luncheon given IN
her honor. at the Womans National Republican
club. 1T has led to more violations Of and con
tempt for law. both by private individuals and pub
lie officials, than anything else in our national lie"
Lest we forget official Washington advises that
about Is additional prohibition agents have been
allotted to Texas. A total Of $40 additional agents
and special Investigators are to be named. The
lucky ones are being selected from the eligible list
Of the clv1 service. Mayor Big Bill Thompson II
Chicago held an election last week. There we're IL
aldermen to be elected Reform candidates were
named against the Thompson candidates. Zig Eli
picked 8 Of the IL. There are so aldermen. Only
40 Of the so are Big Bill aldermen.
Big Bill appears TO have more political lives than
a snake. In November last he was voted a stencil

has been voted a t~wo-thirds working majority In
the so-called popular branch Of the Chicago NUM-
cipal government.

The Mad Dog Menace

Fully awake to the need for drastic action, city
and county officials after a series Of conferences
have about determined on a course which will rid
Cameron county Of the menace Of rabies.
In the past year it is reported that more per-
sons from the Lower Rio Grande Valley took treat
ment at the Pasteur institute in Austin than from
the remainder Of the state. And it is believed as
many more victims were given treatment IN their
homes.
It seems there is a law which protects the life
Of the most worthless cur regardless Of how serious
a menace he may be considered to the life and
health of men, women and children. In other
words, officers cannot go out with guns and pro-
misciously shoot down every cog running At large
In order to cope with the present situation in
Cameron county II is planned to enlist the co-opera-
ton of all city and county agencies in a concerted
drive.
ut would be useless for the county to attempt
the work OF freeing our citizens Of this menace
without the aid Of all municipal authorities in the
county says County Judge 0. 9. Dancy.
eBut the county is ready and anxious to coop
crate in any concerted move which will produce
real results.
"a mad dog is a much greater menace in a city
than in the rural sections and is much harder to
control. therefore, it is necessary that city and
county officials work together"
All agree that something must be done. Browns
Vile has an ordinance requiring that license ices
must be paid on all dogs. Enforcement Of this law,
with the additional requirement that all dogs rum
ming at large by muzzled, soon would control the
situation within the city limits.
To enforce this law would require employment
~ q dog catcher, building Of a pound where the
animals could be held until they were claim
led or killed.
pioid. enforcement of this law is being consider
ia ! the best means Of cleaning up mad dogs in
sorounSvilIe. and the. county is being looked to for
ro-oDeration in handling the large number of worth-
ssss NANCY ours which live and have their being
|snst outside the city limits. beyond the reach Of
municipal law.

ROAD TO RADIUM HILL
WILL COST MILLIONS

SYDNEY, Australia, April TO-
P-How much Is a road worth
that will open to commerce q lode
of radium ore 20 feet wide?
More than 100000 is the an
swer to a group Of Australians who
propose to build such a highway.
Existence of the 20-foot radio
active lode in Mt. Painter and
Radiun hill, in south Australia
near the New South Wales border,
has been known for years, since
Sir Douglas Mawson and others
verified its existence. 1t Is consid-
cred here as the largest eventual
radium supply in the world. But
transportation is only by camel and
this has been too expensive to en-
courage development.
When, however, the common
wealth government recently bought
about $500 900 worth of radium
from Belgium, it started an agita-
ton for opening Radium hill.

Washington Letter
Rv urpprpr - ,1r
By HERBERT G. PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-For 48 years william
Tyler Page has been serving members Of the lower
house Of congress. He started in 1881 as a page in
the clerks office. Since 1919 he has been clerk.
Edward Mcpherson was clerk of the house when
Page first came to Capitol Hill. It was through Nc
Pherson-a friend Of Pages mother-that he got his
JOB. Since then he has been continuously in the
service Of the house Of representatives in many ca
pacties.
The late Champ Clark once asked Page in sI
seriousness if 1t we're true that he was born n the
capitol Page replied in the negative, but said that he
certainly expected to die there.
AS clesk Of the house Page is charged with the
responsibility Of oil legislative routine In that body.
Also. he looks after the physical property belonging
to the house and attends to the wishes and whins
Of members.
EVesy month he affixes his signature to some 5000
checks which go to house employees and in payment
for supplies.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-04-10
THE ANSWER MAN

Page has another duty which is by no means a
small one. This is answering questions submitted
by people oil over the country. His daily mail Is
filled with inquiries for information on everything
imaginable.
A man wrote recently asking how much it cost
the government to operate the electoral college.
Civic organizations repeatedly appeal to him for
2 ruling on some parliamentary tangle that has
arisen. The clerk Of the house Of representatives is
supposed to know something about everything.
Strict care is taken to see that all requests are an
swered or at least acknowledged.
He also handles the thousands Of requests for
public documents.
In his 10 years of service Page has come in intimate
contact with almost every figure Of national impor-
lance. His experiences have been varied.

READ THIS FIRST:
The plot concerns some weird
noises that no one can fathom. They
are underground sounds, beneath a
supposedly haunted house in Byford
Moor. While eating in q restau-
rant, Brown, a romantic young clerk
overhears q rough-looking fellow
say: After her! And-if she's trou-
blesome-don't be particular what
you do TO her" Brown follows the
girl and the trail leads at night to
the haunted house. Rupert and
Charlie, two young men on a walk
ing tour, decide to assist Brown.
While the three are in the house
their car is stolen. Later a Stran-
ger tells them the a has been
abandoned in q field near the house.
Rupert and Charlie find the car and
are puzzled over it's disappearance.
A tiny object is seen on the floor
Of the car.

INK RLorS OFT TROUBLE

For example, there is the time when the u~psetting
Of an ink stand on his head by the speaker Of the
house broke the tension of a heated session, and
caused %beligerent Representatives to regain their good
humor.
This incident occurred while Carlyle was speaker
and Page was a minor clerk. The house was in a
bad temper and the situation was rapidly getting out
Of the speakers control. Vanly did he bang his
gavel for order. During the incessant hammering
an ink stand was Jared off the desk on Pages head
and summer suit. So ridiculous did he appear. with
ink streaming down his face. that the representatives
forgot their bitterness and roared with laughter.
Speaker Carlyle gave PAGE $40 for a new suit and
thanked him for accomplishing what he had failed
to do.
Page is author Of The Americans creed"-a sum-
mary of American civic faith-which Is said daily
by some II million school children. He also has
compiled information iained through the years into
q volume known as Pages Congressional Handbook. "

think Of them now, quickly. while
there was time. He also recalled a
beautiful girl he had once seen,
about a hundred years ago, leaving
restaurant in Kings Cross. A daz-
zlingIy beautiful girl, with a figure
the very perfection Of which made
one tremble. and with soft hair coll
ing distractingly around her ears.
And then, suddenly, Brown woke
UP from the past, and re-entered
the urgent present. That light from
the house was his sign-the sign for
which he had waited. For too long
he had been dominated by stronger
personalities. He bore those strong
er personalities no grudge. In his
honesty, he admitted their superior
ity, Just as he admitted the supe-
riority of the fast ball that bowled
him. Brown was not to make
excuses for himself. But he had the
human longing for supremacy, the
longing that lies and withers in ev-
cry human thing and every living
creature, and he had hoped that, by
remaining near the gloomy, desert
ed house after the others had de-
parted from it, some adventure
might befalI him which would re-
inState himself a little in his own
eyes, and perhaps, also, in the eyes
Of another.
That, however. was not the sole
reason why Brown had remained. 1t
had been demonstrated already that
Brown could be an aItruist as well
as an egoist. The odd chance that
he could be Of service, even If his
service meant physical or psyche
logical extinction, had held him to
the spot, and had urged him to re-
fuse the comfort Of a mattress.
And here was the odd chance,
evincing itself. What that light was
Brown did not know, but he was
convinced that it bore some rela-
ton to the problem which faced the
girl. wherefore it became his prob
lem also.
Now, what you've got to do is to
be steady he told himself. Just
act careful and quiet-and don't DC
caught tripping"
Behind rim, the weary, M?nour-
ished laborer snored. Even If Brown
had wanted to wake him, he migh'
not have had the heart to 90 50

Rupert stopped, and picked up the
