Texas Public School Statistics

State Superintendent 8. M. N. Mars reveals there
has been a healthy increase in scholastns this year.
and he predicts a new census will show approximate
ly 1,450,OO0 within the age Of 7 and IT years. This IS
an increase over last year Of $4,000 children. Accord
ing to the record the 10th legislature fixed SIS as the
maximum per capita apportionment and the 4lst leg
islature changed it to $3.50.
There will be sufficient funds in sight to go with
that figure even with the increased scholastics. This
is made possible by the fact that the SIS limitation
has caused a large surplus to accumulate to the credit
OF the available fund and by Sept. 1st, the beginning
of the new fiscal year, the balance will be over
100000.
This, the superintendent says, will be gladstone
tidings to the schools Of Texas. That will be a large
nestegg to 60 with it and increase a payment OF at
least 81 per capita at the very start Of the next school
year. BY the time the schools actually start more
funds will have accumulated and the first payment
may go to So per child, establishing a record"
If the low valuation counties would do their part
as the high valuation counties rally to the support
of the schools, it would be an easy matter to develop
the brains and train the hands Of all the children.
of all the people.
Politicians who are office holders never mention
the low valuation handicap, nor the fact that there
are many counties in Texas responsible for conditions
which should not be permitted to exist in the face OF
the constitutional mandate that taxation should be
equal and uniform"

Health and Right Living
By ROYAL s. COPELAND, vi. I'D.
Former Commissioner Of Health

grammes for public good we must
consider the matter Of personal by
giene. We must begin with the very
young child to build up sound bodies
and clear brains.
Diet is of great Importance for
sound health. No doubts the
value Of fresh air and cleanliness as
factors in skin hygiene, the import
ance of building up resistance TO
respiratory infections, the value Of
exercise and play, the benefits Of
sleep and rest and the effects Of the
right stimulus on the mental state.
All Of these are important matters
which should govern the first few
years Of a child's life.
In the matter of diet, nothing Us
better in promoting good health In a
child than plenty OF milk, fruits and
fresh vegetables. New York City
provides, in the hot summer months.
milk stations where needy children
may have free milk. A child should
have milk, or crackers and milk, in
the middle Of the morning and OF
the afternoon, with a short rest fol-
lowing.
The school child spends much Of
his waking day under strict school
rules Of study that for him are diff
cult tasks. He must undertake home
work in his studies. In consequence,
he is deprived Of the freedom in
play and the fresh air that he en-
loved in his pre-school days.
Undernourished and underweight
children need more rest than they do
strenuous exercise. Over-fatigue
must be guarded against. Such chill
dren ought to have plenty Of sleep.
The child should be made to lie
down on a bed or cot, in the fresh
air if possible, and where it is
quiet. This nap should be taken
daily.
The chronic fatigue Of a school
child may be due to lack Of sleep or
faulty food. This over-fatigue causes
toxic poisons in the system which
can be overcome only by complete
relaxation.
Our young citizens must be
trained to healthy living and must
know how to manage their bodies
well. In the fall, the boy or girl will
be sound in health, with a happy
summer of play and work behind,
and able to meet the work Of the
new school year and the Tigors OF
the winter months.

to be a real wife to him. It wouldn't
be fair.
Besides, she could never forgive
him for telling her frankly that he
could never fall in love with her
and that was why he was marry
ing her-because he didn't believe
in women. 1t all came back to him
clearly. The things he had said
and the way he had neglected her.
Night after night out with Dovie-
treating Vivian as though she were
nothing but a piece Of furniture in
the house.
He was sunk in dismal reviewing
Of the past year, when old Judge
Potter, his inevitable pipe in the
side of his mouth, hailed him from
the gate.
Hey, there, Kent! Where's the
MISUSE"
Just remembered, Judge. She's
doing tricks for the movies today
out at the hangar. I had forgotten,
too, and was sitting here waiting
for her"
The Judge came up the walk.
You kids fixed the old house up
pretty slick. Looks like a regular
little love nest to me-"
Vivian is a wonderful house
keeper" Kent moved over for the
old man to sit down in the swing.
But, I feel like a beast, that she
has to do her own work"
The judge squinted his old eyes,
and knocked the pipe on the porch
swing and ashes on the floor.
well, she sure don't look broken
down to me. Never seen the like
Of how marriage has agreed with
that girl. You young folks is what
I'd call an ideal couple"
He was glorying in the chance to
talk to Kent alone. 1t was his op-
portunity to give the young whip
persnapper an earful Of something
to think about.
Kent was not in a laxative mood
1t was hard to listen to the judge
telling him he was such a happy
married man when he really wasn't
a married man at all. Then the
judge was seized with an idea. If he
could get Kent out to the field
watching Vivian do her fool stunts
in the airship, he might find out :
little more about how the land lay.
Lets go out and watch the show
what say, Kent? I amt got a
thing to do-and I never seen
movies took, neither"
Good idea," Kent agreed, and
they got in his car. "How's bust
ness goin'?" the old man asked.
Pretty nice Of that Kansas City
mar to put up shop for you, wasn't
it?"
TT saved my life" Kent said,
soberly. Il really think I would
have gone mad if I'd had to work
for someone else much longer. It
goes against the grain"
You're lookin' kipper. Vivian
must be feedin' you pretty well"
That girls a born cook. I don't
know how she does it. She had
never done homework before"
The old judge laughed heartily.
When a woman loves a man,
Kent, my boy, she can do anything
to make him happy. She is getting
more joy out Of maxim a home for
you than she would out Of ten mil
lion dollars. She told me so herself
just the other day. She's a real
mother woman. Some Of these days
you'll be havin' a little family and
you'll see she'll be just about the
finest little mother in this town"
He glanced at Kent sideWise. and
saw that his jaws were set. But he
continued his monologue.

her entirely out of his mind. But,
perhaps she was still a little in his
heart.
Little Cuddles would be the one

now. To Paris, London, Brussels

told her of-and meet his friends.
He with his money and influence,
would make a famous star out Of
her and she would be the envy Of
millions.
She shook off her feeling Of de-
preston and shock and put on her
white flying outfit. 1t was the day
she was to meet Cubby to make
pictures for the newsreel. What
would he think of the marriage?
The Sullivans, no doubt, would be
overcome with JOY. Mrs. Sullivan
had been right, after all, when she
said she believed them two chill
dren had a case on each other.
Vivian had some time before her
appointment to meet Cubby at the
hangar, and decided to walk. She
must collect her wits. Kent came
home earlier than usual, and called
to Vivian. When he found she was
out he sat down in the porch
swing to wait for her.
His eye fell on Banks wire
opened beside him. He picked it up
and read it. 1t was almost as great
a surprise to him as it had been
to Vivian. Barkow-married to Pat
Sullivan! That meant-slowly the
significance of the message began
to sink into his brain.

Discovery Of Velocity Of Light

0y al L1lQI OCNs Val PC14GC4
Velocity Of light was discovered
by Roemer (1644-1710). He made
observations on the first satellite Of
Jupiter which comes out from occu-
lation ever AZ 1-2 hours. The time
when the satellite appeared was
noted, also the velocity Of the earth
receding from it. Forty-tWo and
one half hours later another obser-
walton was made. 1t is evident the
second appearance Of the satellite
would be retarded by the time re-
quired for the light to overtake the
earth's forward position attained,
during the AZ IL hours. Like expert
ments with earth approaching Jupi-
ter showed emerging Of the satellite
to be accelerated by a like period Of
time. The exact time of this con-
slant Is Ism 27s for entire distance.

Farmers VIII Pay Gas Tax

Are you the operator OF a motor boat, alrpane OF
tractor who is planning to collect a refund on gaso-
line bought for these machines?
If you are you had better be looking around LOT
an accountant, for you will need one.
Also, unless you are operating a whole flock OF
motor boats, airplanes or tractors, you are going to
spend more than you will receive.
Instructions sent out by S. H. Terrell, state comp
troller, indicate it will cost a farmer operating a trac-
tor about SITS in cash to collect a 50 refund on a So
gallon drum Of fuel and IN addition he Will use about
one day for each refund.
The tax OF 4 cents per gallon, which became Ell
fective on July l6, must be paid at the time Of the
purchase. Then, here is how Terrell explains the
process for securing the refund:
Il. The purchaser must fill out an invoice,
at the time of the purchase, giving amount, price,
purpose, etc. The regular price Is paid for gas.
Forms will be supplied by dealers and filling sta
tons.
q. Before the 25th of the month following
the month Il of purchase, the buyer must report to
the comptroller the number Of gallons bought and
the amount Of refunds expected. Claims reported
later than the 25th Of the following month will
not be honored.
"3. On receiving the report, the comptroller's
department will mail the claimant an affidavit
account form, on which will be recorded informa-
ton Is to the amount and use Of gasoline pur-
chased. This information must be sworn to be-
fore a notary public, and filed with the comp
troller not later than two months from the date
of purchase. This document must be accom-
panied with q filing fee Of $100, which must be
paid each time that a claim is filed. These fees
will be used to enforce the law.
q. The claim will be Investigated, and if
considered valid, a state warrant will be issued
for the refund. This warrant must be cashed
within 60 days.
IS. No refund shall be made where gasoline
Is used later than six months from purchase"
These requirements make it impossible for a farm
er who is using so gallons or less per month of gas
oline to secure the tax rebate.
1t means that only huge consumers will profit by
the tax exemption and the small operator will pay
the four cents tax, which it was not the intent Of
the law he should pay.
These regulations will have to be modified if they
are to have the effect Of permitting farmers to pur-
chase gasoline at a low price.

CHAPTER LVI

There was a wire for Vivian from
New York. She dreaded to open it.
Bark had just had time to get her
letter, telling him she could not
possibly marry him. 1t would be a
protest, of course She had hoped
ne would sit down and write her a
nice, understanding letter.
But slowly Vivian opened the
wire and sat down in the porch
swing to read it. The blood drain
ed from her face. Her hand shook
so that she could scarcely open it.
Your letter was our blessing. We
knew you could never love anyone
but Kent. We were married this
morning at city hall. Shady Del
a raving hit last night. Bids fair
to be one of Broadway's longest
runs. Cuddles a star over night.
Hope you and Kent will always be
as happy as we are. Love and
kisses.
PAT AND BARK"
When the first shock wore off,
and Vivian came to her senses, she
went up to her room. Her pride had
received a very staggering blow.
1t certainly hadn't taken him
long to forget. Then Bark really
hadn't loved her. He had loved
Cuddles. No doubt both Of them
had sent the story about DOVE
Jansen. Perhaps they had thought
it might bring her and Kent closer
together.
Jealousy poured through Vivian
for a few minutes. Then she found
herself getting ashamed. What
right had she to feel that way?
If Cuddles loved Bark she had q
perfect right to marry him, since
she, herself, had turned him down
If she didn't want Bark there was
no one in the world she would rath-
er have marry him than her best
friend.
Nevertheless, it stung. Bark had
certainly taken her letter as final
1t would have been much easier tt
bear it if he had written her al
least one heart-broken letter before
he married Cuddles.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Rarely is Gen. John J.
Pershing in Washington for long before he has paid
a visit to two Of his best friends.
One is jeff. The other is Kidron.
Both are the generals favorite horses. Their home
is in the army stables down near the munitions
building.
Jeff is the mount presented to General Pershing
by the first division at the close of the world war.
Kidron was obtained from the French government
shortly after P%ershings arrival in France to com
mand the American troops in the great conflict, and
saw service with the general until the end.
Both are quite advanced in age. Jeff is Is.
Kidron is 10. They live a life Of ease now, for except
