Reports Asked
During Meteor Season

PHILADELPHIA, July 20.-(P)-
On the eve of the 1929 meteor sea-
son, an invitation was issued today
to the public to report all fireballs
and large meteors. Hourly counts
of all meteors, large or small, also
are desired.
The invitation was made by the
president of the American Meteor
society, DR.. Charles P. Oliver, pro-
fessor Of astronomy at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. The data
requested are for gaining a better
understanding Of the universe out
side the earth, and Of the earth's
upper atmosphere; Furthermore the
meteor reports in November may
reveal whether another great me-
teOric shower that turns night into
day is approaching.
The last half of the year and the
last half of the night is the best
time to see meteors. The annual
arrival of the very numerous per-
seids is due about August II. In
mid-November, particularly the
14th, some Leonids will appear. The
LeonidS are the meteor swarms that
for centuries. about each 33 years,
have furnished a shower like a
rain of stars. They. missed the
earth in 1899. They are due again
in 1882 or '33, and astronomers be-
lieve the earth already is near
enough to the edges Of this swarm

INCREASE FUND
FOR LIVESTOCK
Cattle Industry Is Given
Greater Recognition
By Legislature

AUSTIN, Juy 21.-The livestock
industry of Texas has been given
greater recognition by the legisla-
ture in appropriations made by the
session just closing than in any
previous year, the appropriation
bills indicate.
Earlier in the year the legislature
authorized uniform statewide tick
eradication work, subject to Coop
Grafton of counties. Funds have
been provided not only for tick
eradication work but for other ma
jor phases of furtherin- the live
stock industry.
Needing pleas of the sheep and
goat raiserS, the legislature has
made $4,000 a year for the next
two years available for control and
determination of predatory animals.
This will Supplant the old bounty
system Of paying for scalps of
wolves, and permit scientific, con-
sistent and continuous trapping and
determination work by experts, in
which the federal government will
cooperate with the state.
The legislature granted the live
stock sanitary commission $685.
$40 for its work in the next two
years, including the predatory ami
NAL item. This includes $4,000 for
dip material to be furnished free
for dipping of animals TO be ship
ped out Of quarantine zones. 1t
includes 100000 additional for dip
material used by the sanitary board.
1t includes 1901 $40 in salaries,
which includes $4,000 for five dis
trict supervisors, $525 900 for the
inspectors who will carry forward
the work in every section; $14,400
for four assistant veterinarians, S4,-
600 for a chief assistant veterinar-
ian, $4,000 for chief veterinarian;
$4,000 for chief ScabieS inspector,
$4,000 for chief tick inspector.
An item Of $4,000 was placed in
the bill as indemnity to owners of
tubercula- cattle which may be de-
stroyed. The commission was given
$4,000 for investigation Of contagi-
Gus diseases.
Working in cooperation with the
livestock sanitary commission, i-1pe
of activities of the A. g. M. ranch
experiment station at Sonora was
expanded. The station was given
SIS, 700 for two years, and an adj
ditional veterinarian was author
ized at a salary of $2,400, so that
when the veterinarian is called out
to investigate threatened disease
epidemics, the valuable experiments
at the station will be continued.
The state department of agricul-
ture was given appropriations of
$l47,110 for the two years to carry
forward it's same work.

VERSE LAUDING

SUN LEAGU u

LONDON, July 20.-(R-The
value Of sunlight en- the human
frame has been proclaimed by
Dean Inge Of st. Paul's cathedral
with the following bit Of verse
which he recited a tthe opening
meetin gof the sunlight league:
Half an inch shorter, half an
inch shorter,
Same skirts for mother and
daughter,
When the wind blows,
Everything shows,
Both what should and what
hadn't oughter."
He praised the woman'S revolt
from extensive covering they in
dulged in 40 or so years ago, say
ing the movement of the sunlight
league Mas carrying on further
the statutory effects of milady's
discard Of heavy clothes.
However, we have to be beware
Of admitting cranks and freaks"
he said. There is a certain sect
on the continent and particularly
in Germany which believes in
walking about nude. In Germany
it is possible to see bands Of
young emit: usiasts of both sexes
going about without clothes.
There is nothing Objectionable In
that. But clothes are a matter
of custom and it is necessary to
hold at arms length certain I'M
wholesome people"

LAND OFFER
IS REFUSED
Texas COMMITTEES Rejects
OkIahoma's Price On
Boundary Strip

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, July
2O.-[P-A Texas legislative com
mittee today rejected an offer o.
SIPS an acre with compound in
terest dating back 20 years, for 3D.
500 acres of land recently awarded
to Texas in a re-survey of the Tooth
Meridian, the boundary between
eastern Oklahoma and the Texas
Panhandle.
The Texas committee arrived
here yesterday to negotiate for the
legal transfer of the land to Okla
homa, which is seeking to retain
the strip placed within its borders
by faulty survey 20 years ago.
The Texans felt the offer was
not enough. Interest ranging from
3 to 5 per cent, depending upon
the rate charged by the Oklahoma
school land commission on its sales
of school land in the strip, would
bring the total to between $4,000
and $4,000, it was said by j. c..
Nance, speaker Of the house of rep
resentatives, now acting as COVER
nor in the absence from the state
of the governor and lieutenant gov
ernor.
A conference was held during the
noon hour by the Texans, with q
view to submitting a proposal to
the Oklahomans this afternoon.
Claude Pollard, attorney general
Of Texas, accompanied committee
members from his state. Edwin
Dabney. attorney general, and ".
P. Grove, assistant attorney gen.
eral, sat in the conference as legal
advisors for the Oklahoma COM
mittee.

Blue Sky Only Limit
With Chilean Gamblers

The Mapuehe tribes Of Chile, have
a very peculiar game which is very
popular, and is called "rum." A wager
is made between two competitors as
to which will be the first to break ST.
lence. They sometimes remain silent
for whole days, until finally the man
with the weaker will speaks and loses
his betl This is but one of the many
interesting sidelights on the Chilean
people in Augustin Edwards peoples
Of Old" In another game Of the
"dice" sort with colored beans, the
players propitiate their luck by talk
ing to the beans and magically invok-
ing disaster for their opponents. To
gamble your shirt" is no mere meta
phor with these people; they gamble
their knives, clothes, weapons, blan-
kets-any thing; and frequently the
game ends in general f1ghtl
