Texas Advice For Hoover

There is an /. c. G. commission. It Is q federal
bureau concern. Its members are appointed by the
president and confirmed by the senate. Pres. Hoover
has advised all governors to do their part in the work
Of keeping the wheels Of industry busy and to create
programs for the pushing Of public work or rather
public Improvements on a very large scale during
the winter months. Roscoe Ady is the industrial
commissioner Of the Fort Worth Association Of Com
merce. Roscoe is a veteran newspaper man. He has
been an industrial Commissioner for years. He knows
Texans and he knows the needs OF Texas.
He advised Pres. Hoover by wire that railroads OPP
Grating in Texas are doing more than their share In
cooperating with the Hoover program by urging vast
construction projects and thereby pouring hundreds OF
millions Of dollars into the hands Of consumers
He asked Mr.. Hoover to use his influence in bring
ing about prompt action from the I. c. Q. on Is
applications for permits to build new railroad lines
In West Texas now pending before the a~utocratic bu-
reau on the banks OF the Potomac. These applications
involve construction Of new rails in the western part
Of Texas, involving an expenditure Of S50.OO0,O0O.
Flowers for the living. Industrial Commr. Ady
should receive the thanks Of Texas. In 1928 more
than one-thlrd Of all the railroad construction In the
United states was IN West Texas. Industrial Com
missioner Ady looks upon this record as a good indi-
Gator Of the unusual forward stride being made in ag-
riculture, industry and commerce in general
He reminds the president that new railroad mile
age built IN the United States during that year to-
tailed 1925 miles OF which $50 miles Of new line was
laid In the western section Of Texas.
Speaking Of a 10 act application for permits, which
the /. c. @. is asked to grant the Rock Island has
eight applications for permission TO build short lines
or connecting lines in West Texas.
Pres. James F. German Of the Rock Island has an
nounced the proposed 1890 Improvement budget Of
his lines totals about $50.OoO!o0O. the largest budget
Of expenditures in the history Of the road.
Now viii the I. c. c. take prompt action and grant
the permission? w suggest" reads the message
wired the president BY Industrial Commissioner Ady,
'that you urge upon the commission the wisdom Of
doing everything possible to expedite decision upon
these applications"
Strike while the iron is hot. Grant the permits and
then turn the money loose. Texas needs additional
railroad mileage, the railroad managers have the
money and the rights Of way and the material. Why
not give employment to The idle and thus avoid pov-
erty in the homes Of men who are willing TO work?

He nodded and Detective Sears

Thanks" Sears replied, sarcas-

Is it?"
Oh, how hateful he wasl Resale
felt then that she wanted TO get
up and slap Is face. But, after all
why should she? He was doing hil

stood twisting lis cap nervously.

When he had gone out Sears sat
down, thoughtfully, rolling a large
cigar in his mouth.
Cant you see," Rosalie begged
him, that I didn't tell because I
was afraid they'd kill Roy? They
told me they took him away for
money. Maybe they r holding him
somewhere"
Are you still trying to make me
believe you and Andrews was en-
gaged?" Sears burst out at her
angrIly. For the love of Peter what
do you take me for?"
But why Is that SO impCss!ble7"
Rosalie asked, tearfully.
Because. for one thing, the boys
uncle, Peter Clarke, says its a lot
or bunk. He doesn't even believe the
boy ever talked TO you anywhere
outside the store, LIZ there. until
the night you framed him 70 go

Peter Clarke. Resale had forgot

had told her that he would not APP
prove OF his marrying anyone out
side of his own set. she remember
ed the night Roy had said, But
Uncle Peter isn't marrying you.
Poor old fellowI"
And how Roy had dreaded break
ing the news OF their engagement
to him.
"A little girl friend or yours Is
coming in in O few minutes" Sears
volunteered a minute later. She
may have something TO say that
will help you. she called this norm
ing and said she wanted TO come
tn and tell us all she knows. Wen
hope she knows plenty"
Who Is it2" Rosalie asked, tim
idly, wondering IL 1t could be any,
one who might help her.
Ann Schultz. Ever hear Of her?"
RoSalie'S hopes dropped. She did
not believe Ann would stand UP for
her.

But when, the next morning in
her cell she held a paper that
shrieked TO the world that she had

his death ride. she knew that all
that had happened before had
seemed ike q mere dream.
This was something it was i'm

The Once Over
BATHTUBs VERSUS MOTION CARS
By H. I. PHILLIPS

bA1H1IBS VERSUS MO1OM NAhS
copyright, 1929. by The Associated Newspapers)
II it isn't one thing it's another. Now some zeal
GUS pr0ber into things that do not matter, has dis
covered that there are fewer bathtubs in the United
states than there are automobiles.
There must be a reason. Perhaps It's the musical
horns.
There is but one bathtub to every twenty Americans
whereas there Is one automobile to every seven, the
figures show. You can't dismiss a discovery like that
with a nonchalant. What OF it?" It's q serious mat
ter. 1t must prove something. One of the things it
means is that the American public has come definite
ly to the conclusion 1t can't see the country from a
bathtub. That's elemental, Watson, elemental.
The disproportionate average may also be partly
explained by the growing realization that the aver
age young woman won't do any "~necking" in a tub.
And, even II she would. q fellow looks 80 darned silly
dragging a bathtub around the country roads trying
to find a good place 10 park
1t must also be admitted that the possession Of an
automobile carries with It a certain prestige that
doesn't 90 with a tub. For example you never hear
a girl raving about a boy friend because he has the
loveliest streamline 1929 bathtub with nickle trim
mings.
And then. too, nobody can ever feel the satisfaction
Of meeting on the road some fellow he doesn't like
and passing him in q faster tub. It just can't be
done.
TWO fellows and two beautiful girls would look like
the devil, everybody viii ccnceds, COINS to the big
football game In a bathtub.
Maybe the manufacturers are to blame. If they
want to sell as many bathtubs as there are automo-
biles. they should change the models twice a year.
put in an electric cigarette lighter and turn them out
in more brilliant colors.
And the bathtub men should take a lesson from
the motor car magnates I'm advertising. A few bill
board posters showing Miss Gloria Profile. Noted
Society Belle, IN Her 127-Inch Undressing Big Six
B~athtub-Used by Fastidious People Everywhere"
might help.
And some slogans such as when Better Bathtubs
Are Built Crane viii Build Them" ASK the Man
Who Battles in One" The Tub You'll Eventually
Splash IN" and Built Up To A Standard Not Down
To A Wash"
It's all pretty alarming. Who knows but what
somebody may discover any day now that there are
more m-onkey-wrenches in America than soap dishes?

CHINA HES|TATES
TO ASK GENEVA AID
Non-Membership of U. S. in
League Called Bar to
Solution of Issues.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 5.-Edward
G. Carter, chief administrative officer
of the American Council of the Insti-
tute of Pacific Relations, said yesterday
that China hesitates to invoke the aid
of the League of Nations in settlement
Of such matters as extraterritoriality
and foreign concessions because the
United States is not member of the
League.
He has just returned from the con-
ference held in Kyoto, Japan, early
this month
THE Japanese were more willing
extraordinarily to be abolished i'm
mediately," he stated. This was u
symptom of the changed attitude OF
Japan toward China 1t was evidenU
at the conference that the japanese
saw that the Chinese had reasons for
resentment toward them and that
many of these reasons could be re-
moved by the japanese government.
Reasons Are Discussed.
zone of these is the acceptance by
Japan of the abolition of extraterri-
toriality when the Chinese wish it, and
others discussed were the substitution
OF ChneSe guards Tor the japanese
guards on the South Manchurian Rail-
way and the transfer of civil adminstra-
ton of the railway zone to the Chinese
authorities.
The desire Of China to run her own
house We found did not mean any head
on conflict with the desire of Americans
British and japanese for protection of
lives and property. Both can be salts
fed under the various solutions sug-
gested at Kyoto, which involve modern
courts with international advisers func-
tioning under the Chinese government.
Think Pact Averted Big War.
1.-THE Japanese are seeing that the
trade of China means more to them
than any other one factor and that both
nations will profit if the irritants, such
as japanese military guards on the
South Manchurian Railway, can be re-
moved, that the friendliness of the
whole mass of the Chinese people Is
necessary for them"
Mr.. Carter said that it was recognized
in the Orient that the existence Of the
Kellogg pact probably had prevented a
war of major proportions over the Chi
nese Eastern Railway and had limited it
