race trailed far behind, the vote
standing:

Pollard stumped Virginia for Al

church. South, has asked anti
Smith democrats to repudiate.
In his campaign against DR.. Will

governor by anti-Smith democrats
and republicans, political leaders
believe DR.. Pollard will have the
staunch backing Of the entire DEM
ocratic party. Mr.. Mapp hastened
to offer his support in a telegram
sent to DR.. Pollard while Roosevelt
Page in his final statement TO vo.-
ers offered his support TO the party
nominee in the event he was not
nominated.
Virginians looked forward today
to a campaign far more spirited
than the primary with the posi-
bility of many of the issues Of the
1928 campaign to be brought 10 the

DR.. Pollard's sweep through the
state was complete, winning every
congressional district on the basis
of unofficial returns tabulated. Only
in the first district, Senator Mapp's
home, was there a possibility that
his majority might be overcome
with additional returns.

NJ. r. Norman, republican banker

Despite the republican drive d.
rected from national headquarters
with the tariff the dominant issue,
the democrat came through with q
majority that may reach three
thousand. With reports missing
from only eleven of the 132 pre-

Montet a majority Of 2700 after a
day Of heavy voting that brought

THE FAME OF County Judge o.
G. Dancy as a road-builder has be-
come statewide.
Dancy, along with other good
roads enthusiasts, has been ap-
pointed to serve on a publicity COM
mittee which has for its purpose TO
convert voters Of Texas to the idea
of state highway bond issue.
1t is the purpose of this group,
named at a meeting held in Austin,
to spread information on the need
Of a properly financed highway
scheme that there will be no dan
ger of state amendment falling
to pass when it is submitted TO the
people.
The meeting was called by Ross
Sterling, chairman of the state
highway commission, and original
ARcker of the state-bond issue plan.
.Sterling has been mentioned as a
candidate for governor on the
''state highway bond issue" plat
form.
The committee of which Dancy Is
d member was chosen from all parts
Of the state and it will be the pur-
pose Of that group to tell the merits
Of the state finance plan.
Judge Dancy CThe initials are
o. G. and stand for Oscar Con-
crete) will tell them all that con-
crete is the only type Of construc-
tion.
THE COUNTY JUDGE is to at
tend a meeting of the Hug-the-
Coast highway association directors
TO be held in Port Lavaca Friday.
This association has just been re-
Vived for the purpose of pushing to
completion the road which some
day will cut many miles off the
route from Houston TO the Valley
and which will provide a new scenic
drive to entice tourists.
The road is TO extend from
Brownsville to Orange and most of
the paving already is financed. One
of the largest gaps left open is in
Kennedy county. There no right-ot-
way has been secured and no move
has been made to connect with the
roads which soon will end at the
county line on the south and north.
Permit of the state highway COM
mission issued to Willacy county TO
pave the road north from Ray
mondville to the Kennedy border is
taken by some to indicate that
state highway officials think the
Kennedy county problem soon will be
solved.
DAY BY DAY in every way
washington park is growing pref
tier and prettier.
Twenty artistic concrete benches
have Just been placed in that park
and now about all that is needed
is some large trees and palms.
These will be provided in time by
Commissioner Hinkley.
A picture Of Washington park
taken a year ago and a picture Of
it today would make an interest
ing comparison.
THE REGATTA to be staged by

been entered from out-of- Valley
points. Large delegations are ex-
pected from Fort Worth and San
Antonio. Yacht club officials have
arranged for special fares from any
point in Texas on the S. p. and
NJ. p. lines.
An annual regatta OF Importance
would do much TO increase the pres
tige of the Valley. If the sports
men of the larger centers came
kere once they would probably re-
turn bringing others with them.

cellent place 10 hold the regatta. 1t

The wide range of handkerchiefs
that is needed to have the consistency
carried out between frocks and these
dainty accessories that present fashion
sanctions makes the term "a wardrobe
of handkerchiefs" seem suitable. Never
before have numbers and differences IN
handkerchiefs been so called for by
vogues. Each woman should have at
least one handkerchief to go with each
costume, and as many more as she
elects or as her purse warrants. Since
she can make the hankerchiefs and
ornament them, she can have many at
small cost.
One method Of decoration that proves
satisfactory is to outline edges with
sealing wax, broken into small pieces
and dissolved in alcohol. Use a very
fine, water-color paint brush and make
a hair line, straight or fancy, about the
edge of each handkerchief portion. Cut
out close to the line. The sealing wax
will withstand washing and ironing
without detriment. provided the water
is not boiling and the iron is not too
hot for the pressing.
Irregular outlines can be made by
folding piece Of paper the size of the
handkerchief, into quarters, and shap-

There Is one thing you must always
remember about caring for your teeth,
That is, it is not the sort Of tooth
paste you use, nor the amount, but the
amount of scrubbing you give your
teeth which keeps them clean. Next
time you visit your dentist ask him
honestly what he thinks of this or that
kind Of dentifrice, and see what he
says.
The great thing TO remember is that
you must brush your teeth very thor
oughly with as stin a brush as you
can stand with an up and down mo-
ton. letting the brush go over the
gums. A child's toothbrush is the best
to use simply because it is short and
small and makes you do more work.
A paste or powder Of some kind is a
good idea.
If you have acid mouth, or any
tendency toward an acid stomach, in
stead of using a toothpaste l would
advise you to use little bit of milk

ing the outline with shears. Open the
paper and haste it carefully to the ma
terial. Outline with the liquid sealing
wax and remove the paper pattern.
Extra decoration can be given cor
ners by outlining certain motifs in the
pattern Of the textile with the sealing
wax. Use gold, silver or metal-colored
wax or gay colors, as desired. These
touches can be given corners only, or
they can form a border all around the
handkerchief.
Plain silk or georgette can be made
ornamental by such sealing-waX or
namentaCion. Do not use the sealing
wax for anything but outline painting.
Use oil paints mixed with gasoline (he-
ware of fire. for painting flowers or cor
ner motifs. Put white plotting paper
beneath the places to be painted, and
use the color as dry as possible. The
blotting paper absorbs the quickly dry
ing fluid and prevents outlines

suit colors of frocks. Embroidery and

Everyday Psychology
Association.
BIT DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.


Not so long ago was crossing the
plaza near the United States Capitol
when a tourist approached me with
broad grin on his face. Did you notice
that New York car that just passed."
he inquired. Then he turned and
looked at the Capitol. saying, "Al Smith
didn't get there, did hep"
For a moment wondered what all
this could mean, for the man was an
utter stranger to me. began talking
with him and discovered that he was a
native Of the Middle West; that he was
just visiting Washington for the FIRST
time. concluded that he was just
for the first time getting into concrete
touch with the Government Of his
country.
1 explain 1t all this way: Anything
with New York attached to it meant
Al Smith to him. And anything that
looked like the Capitol meant anti
Smith. We call this association in
everyday speech. The psychologist calls
it neural hook-up." Some 40 years
ago William James stated the psyche
logical law as follows when two
elementary brain processes have been
active together or In immediate success
sion one of them, on re-occurring, tends
to propagate its excitement into the
other"
So much for the conversation. But
what about the broad, satisfied smile
that Illuminated the tourists counte-
nance? The psychologists say that
there is such thing as emotional con-
gruity" and that ones feelings or emo
lions tend to bubble over into physical
expressions. His friendly smile was
therefore, not out of place. He was
on good terms with the world. His
imagery of the Capitol and all it had
previously meant to him were zen
rapport" with what was going on before
his very eyes. And he was satisfied.
What is association? A mental
process involving tremendous possibili-
ties. 1t is q sort of mental knitting
machine, weaving all our memories.
hopes, fears, completes, prejudices and
ambitions into new and staple struc-
lures, which include our momentary
sensations. The result is a frame Of

up the warp and our present experiences
