BOILERS and
ANTS SWARM
Both Sides Seek to Influ'
ence Moody In Hoover
Dem Measure
Especial to The Herald)
BY RAYMOND BROOKS

AUSTIN, Mar. 15.-The pushing
and pulling upon Gov. Dan Moody
to both approve and to veto the
Writ anti-bolter bill is bringing
prominent politicians from every
part Of the state to the capitol.
Gov. Moody has until April 5 to
act on the measure.
The bill, a result Of the Hoover
victory in Texas last year, would
permit the democratic party execu-
tive committee to bar boilers from
next years primary, and from pla-
ces on the ballot as candidates In
the democratic primary.
1t applies equally on all political
parties.
The measure was warmly sup
ported by administration leaders.
among them Harry II. Graves of
Georgetown.
AL Smith democrats have been
represented here within the past
few days by John Boyle of San An
tonic, but MI. Boyle did not confer
with Moody during his visit.
Col. Thomas H. Ball of Houston.
one of the dry leaders, also was
here.
Lynch Davidson. who served as
chairman of Gov. Moody's Thar
mony democrat" organization last
year, has t~elegraphed Moody urg-
ing veto Of the bill.
Hundreds of letters and kilograms
are pouring in upon Gov. Moody
many of them insisting that he shall
approve the party regularity meas
ure, and others protesting against
his approving it or allowing it to
become a law.
The belief persists he will sign
the bill.
Sponsors of the Writ measure
said it would not be applied against
voters who bolted the presidential
electors, but would be used to keep
off next years ballot candidates for
office who had attempted to defeat
and succeeded in defeating, the
democratic party in the presidential
election.

Little Theater OF
Mission to Present
Arms and the Man

MISSION, March 15.-"Arms and
the Man." popular play written by
George Bernard Shaw, dean Of
present day playwrights, will be
produced by the Little Theater of
Mission at the high school auditor
ium here at 8 p. m. March 10.
The cast has been working with
the play for some time and leaders
in the organization say from pres
ent indications the presentation
should be run off with professional
smoothness. Most of the members
affiliated with the Little Theater
have had previous experience with
such productions.
Leaders in the movement, which
has gained considerable impetus in
the Valley. state that the object of
the Little Theater Is largely to pre-
sent the better class of plays that
could not come here otherwise. FL
nancial benefits are secondary de-
spite the fact that considerable
outlay is necessary in producing
such plays.
Reservations are now on sale at
up-Valley points.

Oily skin, poor-color skin and
blemishes are due to acid-skin i'm
purities. And, everybody knows there
is nothing like magnesia to neutralize
acid. So, when the face is massaged
with cremed magnesia the skin
throws of even the most deep-set
pore impurities. 1t physics the skin
in the same easy way that milk of
magnesia purifies the stomach. That's
why magnesia is called the beauty
miracle of modern science.
Physicing the skin rejuvenates the
complexion so quickly that any face
looks years younger in five minutes.
1t changes old-looking, poor-color
skin to youthful clearness and fades
out freckles better than a bushel of
lemons. It's astringent; it reduces
enlarged pores to the finest texture
and smoothes out the tell-tale lines
