the first time, would stend beside the quartermaster for several min utes, then walk away some 10 or 15 feet and call the quarternaster aside to issue some kind of an or der The man would carry out his instructions, returning to his post, and the officer would again join him and a few minutes later would walk away and call him to his side to issue new order.
 This became very irksome to the quartermaster and word soon cir culated around the forecastle that the officer was getting a "big- head" The other officers on the bridge were unaware of the situa- ton. In short time dislike for him became evident among the crew. He realized his mistake, but it was too late. Orders were not being carried out, and finally the man fell by the wayside.
 Another instance was that of a junior officer who would give in structions to a boatswain and have the latter convey them to the quartermaster. Repeatedly ,c would call someone to give an order to another man. When Inc men were not receiving their orders di- rect from the officer in charge, they did not feel particularly gra- cious about it. The man who had to carry the order was disgruntled because he was taken away from routine tasks and was compelled to act as a messenger. This officer, like the other, soon became unpopu- lau and was transferred.
 On the other hand, I have seen junior officers who have been cour- teous and polite to their superiors and others. By the crews they were regarded as good fellows. ,

BILLN NOT
UNDERSTOOD,
SOLON AYERS
Garner Asserts Many
Members Do Not Re-
alize Effect on Tex
as Agriculture

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan. L.
Many members Of congress do not
understand the effect the Box bill.
placing Mexican immigration upon q
quota basis. would have upon Texas
agriculture. according 10 Representa-
tive John N. Garner, who stated that
some members were under the i'm
preston that Texas is clsmoring for
enactment of the bill.
The eyes Of the world are turned
on Texas now, and, where the eyes
Of the world are there rest the eyes
of congress-" Mr.. Garner said recent
ly. THAT body will go into next
session with n friendly feeling to-
ward Texas and anxious to do some
thing worth while. Right now there
is a growing feeling that the best
thing that could happen to the state
is the enactment of the Box immi-
grafton bill into law. Why? Because
members Of the house and senate
do not understand what the bill
really will mean to the state"
Texas is the only state vitality con-
cerned with immigration problems Of
the Mexican border, Mr.. Garner as
serts. Laborers who come from Mex
leo to work in the fields for the sum
mer months seldom 60 farther than
800 miles from the border until they
are ready to 60 back to their native
land. They are not the concern OF
other states, because they do not
have to contend with them any more
than they do with other foreign ele-
ments, Mr.. Garner holds.
IL is vsriously estimated that be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 Mexicans
come into the United States every
year to assist with the cotton and
other crops and that less than 10 per
cent Of them become permanent res
idents. OF this 10 per cent It is es-
timated that perhaps 2 per cent be-
come home owners, with the inten-
ton Of staying in the United States.
"The most disastrous thing that
could happen to the farmers Of Tex
as, right now. is the complete re-
stricticn of immigration at a given
PERIOD Mr.. Garner continued. "Cot-
ton growers, as well as truck far
mers, pecan and others seek
ing to build up Texas agriculturally
would suffer untold losses. The state
is so far advanced commercially and
industrially that the loss would not
materially disrupt commerce, but it
would have a tremendous bearing on
business-because, basically, Texas is
agricultural, and more OF the actual
wealth of the state is coming off of
the top of the ground than is COM
ing from the bowels of the earth In
spouting oil gushers and teeming
mines.
"The agricultural wealth turned
over each year will more than bal
ance with the millions taken from
the ground"
