If japanese beetles start hanging
around the home garden, some attrac-
tive beds of geraniums probably will
reduce their numbers. Charles H.
Ballou of the U. S. Bureau of Ento-

beetles feed on cultivated geraniums
and that the diet paralyzes them,
causing about 35 per cent of the
geranium banqueters to die.

In the nature of things, ignor-
ance takes a heavy toll Of mans
time and energy. This toll may all
be paid at once by four years spent
in college. III 1t Is not SO settled
it becomes an installment-plan
debt-which only death cancels. Do
not carry a handicap: get ready in
youth to do greater things in life
Go to college" This Is one Of the
classic utterances Of DR.. r. b.
Cousins. president OF the new Col
lege of Arts and Industries at
Kingsville, established by the forty
first legislature. to succeed the
South Texas State Teachers col
lege, which opened June 8, 1925.
The change In the nature Of the
college and the scope Of its work
came as a result Of the demand OF
the people of South Texas for a
major institution Of learning" as
expressed by the South Texas
Chamber Of Commerce.
The law making the change pro-
vides: There is hereby establish
ed in Texas, in the city Of Kings
vile, Kleberg county. a co-educa-
tional institution of learning for the
white youth Of this state, which
shall be known as the Texas Col
lege of Arts and Industries. and the
South Texas State Teachers col
lege is hereby merged into said in
stitution. the same TO be conducted
operated and maintained under a
new board Of directors as herein
provided. The work OF said college.
its materials and subject matter.
and its course OF study, shall be di-
vided into four divisions, to-wit:
CD Liberal Arts. CD Industrial Arts
and Commerce. CD Education, and
Cd Military Science"
Continue Teacher Training
The teacher training work is &c
be continued as one OF the large
features Of the college. One clause
OF the law provides that the board
Of directors shall continue the
teachers college permanently, and
for the first year shall continue It
just as they find it, and in no case
shall they weaken the organization
OF the teachers college nor diminish
its efficiency"
All students who desire certifi-
Gates to teach will meet the re-
quirements of the college of educa-
ton, and thereby the requirements
OF the state school law for certifi-
Gates. Students who do not desire
certificates will not be required to
take courses in education, but an
propriate courses in education viii
be open as electives for all students
who desire for any valid reason 70
take them.
In the past only B. A. and b. :.

work Is now being organized looking
to degrees as follows: In the COL

MUST ENFORCE
new TRUCK LAW
City And County Peace
Officers Responsible liz
cense Regulation

Although patrol officers appoint
ed by the state highway department
win not enforce the new Motor
Carrier Law, it will be the duty
Of city and county peace officers
to do so. 1t has been pointed out
following the passage of this law.
This new ruling regulates truck
Ing business in the state, requir-
ing that licenses be obtained from
the State railroad commission
which carry certain obligations.
A and ID Licenses
A class "A" license requires that
the trucks operate over a fixed
route, have fixed termini, publish
rates and maintain a regular
schedule.
The class "B" license does not re-
quire these things but does make
property and workman's insurance
mandatory. This insurance also is
necessary to obtain the class "A
license.
The state highway department
recently established a branch OF
patrol officers. This will put mo-
torcycle representatives Of the de-
partment in various parts of the
state. l.. G.. Phares Of highway
branch recently announced that
these patrol officers would not en-
force the Motor Carrier La unless
specifically instructed by the gov
crnor to do so.
County Officers Aid
However, attention vas called to
the fact that the railroad commits
sion will have the aid Of all coun-
ty and city peace officers in the
enforcement Of the law. for 1t pro-
vtdes in section Is Cd that:
ANY authorized inspector for the
commission the railroad commits
sion) shall have the power and au-
thority to make arrests for any vio-
lation of this act coming under his
observation. but his authority tc
make arrests shall be confined sole
iy to violations of this act. and il
shall be the 'uty of all judges and
peace officers IF the counties and
municipalities OF this state to as
sist in the enforcement of this act.
The outstanding feature OF the
new requirements is that the truck
operators must carry insurance pro-
tecting the goods they carry as well
ms workman's compensation.
Protect Goods
Before any permit may be issued
70 any class b motor carrier, and
before any certificate OF convent
ence and necessity may be issued
20 any class "A motor carrier. and
before any motor carrier of either
class may lawfully operate under
such permit OF certificate. as the
case may be. such motor carrier

Michigan, for a reduction from 191s 10 10 per cent in the capital gain tax, al- though hc. Mills. thought such q reduction would be tho right thing to do"
 Income insufficient
 The undcrSec 'ltary asserted that at present sufficient income to en- able such q reduction was not in sight.
 Mills indicated the treasury felt it had gone the limit in recommending a one per cent cut in individual and corporation income taxes for the calendar year 1929.
 A resolution to authorize this re- duction already has been passed by the house. approved by the senate finance committee and placed on the senate calendar for action.
 surplus Outlined
 Tn proposing this cut the treasury estimated there would be a surplus of So25, ,000.O00 this year and $l22,- 100000 for the 1881 fiscal year.
 The Couzens' proposal. Mills said. would not become effective until 1881 and with only $122, 2,o0o,00o surplus in sight such a reduction would DC inopportme.
