Rich Pickings for Public
Servants

Sen. Pickney L. Parrish of the Lubbock country is
on the trail of county officials who take down large
salaries-that is. fancy salaries and rich pickings. He
had the senate adopt a resolution, concurrent in its
nature, calling for the appointment of a legislative
committee to investigate the cost of local government,
speaking Of county officials, and the house adopted
his resolution.
An appropriation of $4,000 was made for a COM
mittee to prosecute the work Of research. Sen. Walter
Woodul fought the Parrish proposals for limiting the
salaries to a finish. Parrish put one over the Harris
county senator. Now the committee has been named:
Parrish and Woodul on the part of the senate and
George Purl and Jack Kellar Of Dallas and Carl
Roundtree on the part Of the house.
Kellar did all IN his power to block the passage Of
the resolution. He declared that the county officials
received just what is coming to them in the form of
salaries and legal fees and were entitled to the same.
Purl was largely responsible for the adoption Of the
resolution of the house. He believed that the investi-
cation should cover all the ground. Sen. Parrish has
stated repeatedly that there are county officials in
Texas who gather in $4,000 a year, perhaps more, for
their services.
This is the reason why he sought to limit the sell
airy and the pickings Of a county official to $40 1000
a year. Fourteen senators voted against this Parrish
proposal and Is for. Why should a county official
be permitted to receive for his yearly services thrice
the salary paid to a supreme court judge, and six
times the salary paid to the governor of Texas? Why
not a fixed salary for all county officials? Why
should the fees of office, or a certain percentage of
the fees, be taken over by the servants of the people
as the rich pickings that go with the office-holding
trade.
1t is said shat the committee is a 8 to 2 court Of
inquiry. Parrish and Purl and Roundtree are for
limiting the salaries Of officials and Woodul and KEEL
lar will run true to form as well as to the record they
made while the debate was on and the balloting was
registered on the proposals by the secretary Of the
senate and the clerk of the house.

Health and Right Living
BY ROYAL s. COPELAND, M. I'd.
Former Commissioner of Health

SO many mothers write me, saying
they make use of my suggestions
in caring for their babies, that I
have a sense of responsibility re-
garding this advice.
To my mind the hardest but the
best job in all the world is the bring
ing up of a little child. God is good
in sending these blessed gifts. 1t is
our joy to help them to health and
vigor.
If I can tighten the burdens and
anxieties Of the mothers Of tiny ba-
bieS, I am fortunate, indeed. 1t is a
rare privilege and I appreciate it.
Hot weather brings many worries
and responsibilities for the mothers.
They must guard their own lives, but
what means far more to these good
! women, is that they must guard
these precious infants.
Summer time is trying to the baby.
1t brings conditions which are them
selves depressing to the child, but
also the heat is liable to damage
the food. When this is the least bit
contaminated, then there really is
trouble.
Sometimes the term Intestinal in
digestion" or summer complaint, y
is given to one of the hot weather
ailments OF little babies. They may
be very mild attacks hardly noticed
perhaps, or they maye be quite Sc
we're.
This is the season when the frail
baby has a hard time. 1t does not
resist conditions which would not
disturb a stronger child. Such a
youngster must be given unusually
watchful care.
Every precaution must be taken
to keep the milk at low tempera-
ture. Any failure to refrigerate ii
properly will result in trouble.
1t is surprising how rapidly the
germs Or bacteria in milk will null
tiply in any temperature above Sc
degrees. That is the limit of safe
ty.
Make sure that the milk comes
from a well-known and approved
source. Prepare the feelings with
the greatest Of care. Keep all the
surplus food at low temperature.
O~FCI1CcQ14lS VI dl 1LlldIlI ID JuSl
as bad for a baby as it is for ar
adult. Indeed, it Is worse, because
the tiny baby cannot handle doubt
full food as the grown-up can.
Almost invariably digestive disor-
ders in babies can be traced directly
to the food. 1t is the doubtful quail
ity Of the food or the manner 81
feeding that is responsible for the
disagreeable symptoms.
You have been taught how to pre-
pare the feelings, how to keep then
and just how frequently they should
be given. I beg of you not to devi-
ate one bit from instructions.

dalton of a friend, I have been eat
ing a handful Of raw peanuts with

harmful in any way? Have been

Washington Letter
By HERBERT c. PLUNEMER
They called it a wiener at first,
And they made it as bad as they burst;
But finally wiener
Got meaner and meaner
Until it became wiener wurst.

Until it became wiener WurSt.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-Woodrow Wilson inspired
Wade Hampton Ellis to write the foregoing limerick.
It was revealed the other night when Ellis appeared
before the Arts club in Washington and read a col
lection of limericks inspired by the war president
Ellis has given the collection the tele of "A Linn
erick Friendship"
President Wilson delighted in this form OF poet
ical" expression. Nothing amused him more than to
submit a difficult word for 'limerickal' treatment.
He frequently challenged Ellis, with Admiral Gray
son, the White House physician, as to g~o-between.
One day he suggested the word wiener, and was vast
" entertained when Ellis read him the above lin
erick.

The Once Over
HOW 1T FEELS TO BE IN A PLAY-OFF WITH
BOBBY JONES
BY Il. !. PHILLIPS

BOBBY JONES
"Phew! What's the matter with me? Why
can't I pull myself together? Why should I
worry 50 much about Bobby Jones? He's only
human. Just human, that's all A human being
like ANYBODY else Likell he is! Why did I
have to get a break like this anyhow? There
were a coupla hundred golfers in this tournament and
I had to be the one to stumble into a tie with Jones!
"There! Another bum drive! Nothing !
do today is right And Jones IS on the green
again! He's got me pressing, 1 guess I wish
they had taxicabs on this course ! could Jump
in front of one and have it all over.
Look at him sink that 25-foot putt for a birdie!
What hole is this? The fifth? Well,
here goes for my approach All I've gotta do is 10
be cool, calm and collected Just take 1t easy ana
remember that golf is golf and that Jones is no o1-
ferent than any other man Horse feathers'
ct knew I'd miss it! Phew, but this is agony!
Why can't I get one good drive? There must
be a reason. Maybe I'm sick 1t must De
something I ate I remember I felt funny after
breakfast Could I be poisoned? Wnetner
could be poisoned or not, I certainly SHOULD be!
well, now where am I? Everything looks SO
hay. What course is this? What city? .
What state? What country? All right I DID
three spades then Double four hearts
Gosh, but I'm in a bad way I wonder II ! coulo
be having a nervous breakdown?
an the trap againI What's the score now?
1t must be 100 to / In FAVOR OF FlJISDulSA : :
He'll, I must pull myself together It's psychology
that's all Just psychology I'm as good a
golfer as Bobby Jones I can do anything he can
do I'm just as cool as he is And 50 is your
Aunt Prunella!
Well, I mustn't give up A golf match IS
never over until the last putt What sap first
pulled that one? He's only leading by 16 runs
-. Is miles 16 strokes, I mean I still have
a chance 1 mustn't be discouraged I have an
outside chance to win outside is the word.
We'll, it's all over 1t was pretty terrible, but I
had a Iotta luck at that I MIGHT HAVE TIED
HIM AGAIN."
THE TOUGHEST BREAK
The words fell like a sentence dire.
They fell in solemn tones:
GO out and take your punishment
You're tide with Bobby Jones!"
ESpinoza was playing five and ten golf" in that
recent tournament. Under the Jones law, obviously.
A man named Legge has been named chairman OF
MI. Hoovers farm board, which may or may not in
dictate that the president asked for suggestions from
Messrs. ziegfeld, White and Carroll.
Jack Redmond tells of the golfer who was asked,
DC you play golf?" and replied with perfect candor,
mo, but I can't give it up"
Well, whatever the decisions Of the farm board
may be the farmers can't say the board hasn't a
Legge to stand on.

DOWN BY THE DEPOT

With the supreme court in recess for the summer
months, Justice Holmes has gone to "BeVerly-by-the-
Depot"-his summer home in Massachusetts,.
Justice Holmes himself gave this name to the lit
tie cottage where he has spent every umner for the
last so years. He says it distinguishes it from fash
ionable Beverly by-the-Sea
The little cottage was inherited from his father,
the poet Oliver Wendell Holmes. With his strong at
tachment for books and study the distinguished jul
rist cares for no other recreation. And this summer
he will be in complete retirement, as Mrs. Holmes
died but a few months ago.
The other members of the supreme court have
scattered to all parts Of this continent to spend the
summer.
Chief Justice and Mrs. Taft have gone to Murray
Bay, Canada, where they have had a summer home
for more than 80 years
Justice Sutherland and Mrs. Sutherland have
chosen Burlingame, Cal, as a summer retreat, and
Justice and Mrs. Sanford chose Nantucket Island.
Justice and Mrs. Van Devanter have a favorite va
cation spot at Georgian Bay, Canada; Justice and
Mrs. Stone, at Isle-au-Haute, Maine, and Justice and
Mrs. Brandeis in Connecticut.
Only Justice and Mrs. Butler and the bachelor
member Of the court, Justice McReynolds, remain in
Washington.
A COOLIDGE STORY
Before Calvin Coolidge left the White House and
Washington for Northampton he took time to auto
graph one Of his pictures and send it to the proprie-
tor of a newsstand not far from the executive mansion.
Mr.. Coolidge is a great lover Of mystery stories.
Often, while he was president, he became interested
in a story running serally in a monthly magazine.
1t was hard for him to wait for the next issue.
The news dealer learned of the presidents eager
ness. Accordingly, just as soon as the magazines
reached him he would personally take the issue to
the White House. Otter Mr.. Coolidge would get his
magazine two or three days before they were put on
sale at the newsstandS.
In token of his appreciation Mr.. Coolidge sent his
autographed picture to the dealer before leaving
Washington.

In the Stock Market
By Thomson & McKinnon)


NEW YORK, May 1.-The earn
ings report of the steel corporation
carries with it something besides
a story of big earnings, in the
more important fact that general
business, instead of showing the de-
Ginning tendency usual at this time
Of the year, have actually gained
momentum. March earnings ran
we'll ahead of the prior two months
and with April operations above 100
pc. cent of the theoretical capacity
there can be no question that the
second quarter promises equally
gratifying results. Additional evil
dence of general business activity is
found in the weekly carloadlngs,
which for the first time this year
have exceeded the one million mark
and also the monthly report from
mail order concerns, where the per-
centage Of gain is quite remarkable.
Unfortunately, the credit question
is such that it can not be overlooked
and should not be obScured by the
business outlook. The probability
that the brokers loans statement
will show further sizeable increase
will, we think, tend to check the
present advance and encourage
profit taking.
