afternoon. The second round was
not a minute old before Jack Sui
Ivan threw In the towel TO halt the
slaughter.
Hinojosa, a find OF Sullivan's, had

Otto Wahrrnund

r Otto Wahrmund has passed on to his reward. he
opened his eyes in the historic town OF FrederlcKs-
vurgh II years ago. His forebears were among the
pioneers in a wilderness and the builders OF FREEZER
icksburg and Gillespie county. He moved from Gill
lespie to Bexar county in early manhood.
He became one of the most powerful figures IN the
civic, the industrial and the political lie OF MS sec
ton. He was the head of a great brewing concern
He was interested in manufacturing. He was proml-
nent in banking circles. He served many terms III
the state legislature. He was the friend ana the
hacker of Charles A. Culberson. He was the 1rleno
and hacker of Oscar B. Colquitt.
He was a colonel on the staffs OF four Texas gov
errors. He attended as a delegate state and natlonal
conventions of the democratic party. He was a large
contributor to the campaign chests OF the democratlc
party in national and state and local campaigns. he
subscribed literally to charity funds, welfare work
funds of all kinds, the funds of his church and was
recognized as one of the most h~ospitable entertainers
that the Alamo City had ever known.
A new civilization came in just as an old clvnlza-
ton passed out. Otto Wahrmund' face disappeared
from the political picture. Brewing was a thing OF
the past. His old comrades had been called to an
other land-that land invisible. Now Otto has joined
them in the shades of the trees eff there are trees and
shady places over there"

z. 3. Spillar of Texas representing the Texas and
Southwestern Cattle Raisers association, appeared be
fore the senate subcommittee and bluntly told the
members of the committee that the house proposal OF
10 per cent ad valorem duties on hides and giving
leather and shoes a 20 per cent duty "is undeniably
unfair" He backed up the demand Of the livestock
association that a duty Of 6 cents per pound for green
hides and 10 cents for dry hides be substituted in the
senate bill.
He pointed out that the hide industry is strictly
competitive throughout the world and that the day
a duty was placed on the commodity cattle raisers
would feel its effects to their benefit"
Speaking of hides, the Texan let it be known that
only four other products-raw silk, coffee, crude rub
Der and cane sugar-are imported into this country in
larger amounts.
Hides are on the free list; feathers are on the free
list; shoes are on the free list. Why not equal pro-
lection for hides and feathers and shoes? Why the
turkey for the makers and the feathers for the pro-
ducers or growers?

Advice to Girls

DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:
I am a girl Is years of age and
am considered good-look1ng py
everyone. But, Annie Laurie, this
is my problem: Just lately 1 have
met a nice young man whom I love
dearly. He Gems to be my equal
in every way. I have recently heard
that he is married. I Go not be-
lieve this but 7 cannot afford to
lose my reputation by keeping COM
pany with him.
Please advise me, as I love him
as I can never love anyone else.
PUZZLED.
Puzzled: If the man is married
do not see him again. 1t is wrong
for a married man to cultivate the
friendship and possibly win the love
Of a girl, but a girl who goes out
with a man whom she knows is
married, is equally guilty. Have you
told this man that Dame Rumor
says he is married? Ask him if it
is true. And, Puzzled, do not think
that you can never love again.
There are few deaths from broken
hearts,

described it as a non-surplus and good rotation crop
now produced by 100000 farmers in II states. Texas

AS if in answer to Vivian's fer
vent prayer, the engine suddenly
picked up, and settled down to a
steady purr. For a few miles she
climbed, trying to get above the
storm, and suddenly they broke
through the clouds into the moon
light.
Never had three souls been more
thankful to see the moon. Vivian
turned and yelled at the doctors,
sitting huddled in their seats:
Everything is all right now. I
don't think we'll have any more
trouble"
Wonderful little woman" DR..
Clark tried to make himself heard
above the roar, and DR.. Smith
agreed loudly:
Il suppose another one of those
terrible flappers we hear so much
about. God bless EN-"
1t seemed to Vivian as if she
had all the good luck in the world
on the trip back. The trip to Sa-
lima had been such a nightmare
that she shuddered when she
thought Of it.
Bark was on the porch, eagerly
scanning the June sky, when he
heard the familiar roar.
"BlesS my Soul-she has made it,
He trembled with relief as he ran
in the house and called to Kent,
who was anxiously bending over the
weak and seemingly lifeless Celeste.
"Vivian-Vivian just passed over.
If she makes the landing all right
she'll be here any minute"
He had wanted to set a blazing
pail of gasoline as a landing torch
for her, but he knew the rain would
put it out. And when the moon
came out so brightly he believed
she could make a good landing if
she brought the ship down slow
".
Vivian was thankful when she
saw all the lights were burning in
Banks cottage. The field vas so
familiar she had no fear in making
the landing. When the wheels hit,
she would have to be careful Of the
muddy ground, but by holding up
the ships nose a little they came
down safely.s
When Vivian stumbled into the
cottage with the two doctors fol-
lowing closely behind, Kent caught
her in his arms.
"Oh. my dear, why did you do
it? You might have been killed"
She was worn out from shock and
the fatigue of her trip, but his
CHASTITY pale face and his tender
words warmed her heart. He had
cared, then, what happened to her.
She smiled at him family, her
head on his shoulder.
"We had to have doctors and sup
plies. How is Celeste?"
DR.. Clark agreed to take care Of
the little maid, while DR.. Smith
went out and saw what was to be
done for other sufferers. In a mo-
ment the physician was bending
over Celeste, gravely examining the
wound in her head.
Vivian closed her eyes with relief,
and sank down on a cot in the
room, YEARLY. Kent sat down be-
side her, and took her hand. Bark
stood near them, ~nervously. He
felt out of the picture.
God, how did you do it, Wv?

Washington Letter
By HERBERT c. PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, July ga tall, slender, earnest
young man serving his first term as a member of the
United States senate has launched a crusade on cap
itol hill in behalf of the struggling artists of this
country.
Senator Willard E. Tydings Of Maryland has ap-
pealed to congress to adopt a plan which he is Soon
fident will prove a boon to art in America, will offer
encouragement for those engaged in this profession
and will secure for the government the works OF the
country's most eminent artists.
And he thinks $4,000 a year will be all the money
required.
Briefly, Senator Tydings' plan is this:
Annually, in Washington, there would be a ma
tionaI exhibition open to all American painters and
s~culptors.
Those submitting the five best paintings and those
submitting the five best objects of sculpture would
receive awards: First, $4,000; second, $4,000; third,
s., 500; fourth, 81, 800; fifth, $1,000. Certificates and
medals would also be given the five painters and five
~sculptors whose work entities them to money awards.
GOVERNMENT TO KEEP THEM
The ze-winning works would become the prop
erty of the United States government.
The. selections would be made by a national board
Of painting and sculpture, composed Of either three
or five men noted for their training and skill.
The senator believes that every painter and sculp-
tor in the United States of any promise would con-
test 1Or the 1rSL award. AS d IGSuI L1C FdllOuo
phases of American life would be depicted on canvas
and on stone.
Suppose such a policy had been followed during
the Let century. There would now be In the posses
sion of the government some 500 paintings. Senator
Tydings believes these paintings would tell the story
of the quarter century past far more ~eloquently than
it could be told in any other way.
s~#
NATIONS EPICS
The gold rush, the long covered wagon trains
across the country, the war with Mexico, the Civil
war, slave life in the south. the old Robert E. Lee ply
ing up the Mississippi, the great round-ups in the
west
The rush to Alaska, life on the frontier, the build
ing up Of American industry, the lunching of gigantic
ships, the development of cities, horse racing, duelling,
stirring moments in our national life at Washington,
the war with Spain, aviation and the world war
"We have no such story of our country preserved
in the national gallery at Washington" says Senator
Tydings. w have not that because it was never
begun. We can begin it now, and at a very little
cost"
He believes the time has come when the govern
ment must do more to encourage art than merely
purchase a statue of some person noted in American
life.
Since the government aids science and commerce,
why shouldn't it do something to encourage art? is
his query.
