flectively, the sweetest thrill I
shall have will be the memory of
my Virtues Of Omission"
VIRTUES of omission?" re-
peated Mrs. Divot, wonderingly.
That's what 1 said" replied
Mrs. Green. There are Virtues
of Omission as we'll as Sins of
Omission 1t is easy enough to
do kind deed, when you stop to
THINK about it. but the hardest
thing in this life is to refrain from
doing an unkind thing when
you're not thinking.
It Is easy enough to get up
after a good nights sleep or after
you've made a big haul in the
stock market, and pack up
bundle of old chiffon evening
dresses to send to the heather.
But it takes real heavenly grace
to get up some morning after
party, when you're feeling like
a lost hope and refrain from
jumping on the milkman or the
iceman or your husband or the
cook at the first ina ginary Of
tense.
It's easy enough to give your
maid an old coat that you'd never
wear again and haven't got closet
room for, anyhow. But 1t takes
angelic fortitude to restrain your.
self from firing her or hurting her
feelings on one of her off days
when she breaks your pet bit of
china and let's the cake fall and
burns the steak.
It's easy enough to pick a few
flowers and send them to your
next door neighbor. But it takes
genuine self-control and real Chris
tlan charity not to join the anvil
chorus at the bridge party, and
tell what you know about her fam.
lily rows or her servant troubles
or what she pays for her hats, or
say what you think about her dis
position or her hair.
TITS such a temptation to be
caustic and witty at somebody
else's expense, and to be right
there with the satirical comeback
or the peppery retort-especially
when you are born with a clever
tongue. But it's the bitter things
that we have left unsaid and the
mean little things we have left un-
done that will be the brightest
jewels in our heavenly crown"
Good heavens" exclaimed Mrs.
Divot, What have you refrained
from doing to make you feel that
you're going to get crown of vir-
tue? Restrained yourself from
pulling your husbands hair or
from putting poison in his coffee,
or from burning up his golf
clubs?"
you've guessed it," said Mrs.
Green. when John came in two
hours late for dinner last night,
without telephoning. / didn't say a
word! I just smiled until it hurt!
And what do you think? He
hadn't been playing golf at all!
He'd just escaped being killed in a
motor car wreck! And he'd been
carrying the other victims to the
hospital! 1t makes he shiver when
I think of all the things I had
planned to say to him.!
You never can tell" said Mrs.
says it's the traffic jam that
made him late. it actually turns
out that 1t was the traffic jam"

AT noon the membership found
itself engrossed in a debate in
which Woodruff and Van Zandt
had urged indictment Of Robson.
Representative Homer Dewolfe,
Goldthwaite. had attempted to dis
miss prosecution with 4 reprimand
by the legislature. and Rep. Fred
Minor. Denton. was contending
that no prosecution should be
launched until after the attorney
generals department had attempt
cd to collect $4,000 which an audi
tors report revealed had not been
accounted for by the commissioner.
Minor was chairman Of the senate
house committee which found that
the commissioner had diverted 70
his own use a part of the one-cent
reappraisement fund and recon-
mended recovery OF the amount
through litigation.
Nothing that the investigating
committee was able to find consti-
tuted an offense against the law or
moral turpitude.' Minor said. "and
I believe all charges are prema-
ture at this time. If the land
commissioner refuses to paw a Judg-
ment for public funds which now
are unacccunted for. then Is the
time for impeachment proceed

special session will come to

Legality Doubted
Representative Dewolfe contend
ed that the supreme court Of Texas
had held that an official could
not be removed for acts committed
prior 70 his present term and that
none of Woodruff's charges EXCEPT
general incompetency covered the

ing years and poor health have
dimmed his perspective toward a
public policy. and that he Is guilty

Charges hurled TODAY against the
official were much like those re-
vealed yesterday when the first
broadside was fired at Robson.

months intervening before the reg

AS the program now Is generally
outlined it involves complete re-
moval Of the prohibition unit from
the treasury department with the
enforcement agents placed either
in an existing division Of the justice
department or the creation Of a
new division under the direction OF
an administrative rather than a
legal officer.
Shift Legal Force
The large legal force now en-
ployed by the United States pre-
sumably would be placed under the
assistant attorney general IN
charge Of dry law prosecutions.
In addition there are involved
questions of administration and CO.
operation with the customs force
and the coast guard. which would
remain within the treasury organi-
cation because their primary du-
ties have TO do with enforcement
Of the customs laws. Other mat
tiers TO which the joint committee
must give attention include that o.
permits for liquors for medicinal
purposes. for industrial alcohol and
the use Of intoxicants for other
purposes.

In order to secure the utmost
expedition in the reorganization

bureaus connected with prohibition
enforcement so greatly needed to

recommend that the congress ap-
point a joint select committee 10

matters and 10 formulate recon-

the next regular session.
Il shall be glad to appoint a
committee from the departments to
cooperate with such a committee
OF the congress. The national
commission on law observance and
enforcement will also cooperate
through their studies OF the de-
partmental organization.
The subject involves the trans

the necessity for the unification
and strengthening of our border pa
