quieter, with prices irregular and show
ing some effect Of the run-up this week.
American I. @. Chemical 512s held
steady around 105. American Interna-

The two telephone Az per cent issues
made slight gains. Dodge IS improved
little and then reacted. The italian

In the mortgage group there was con-
siderable irregularity, but so small
volume of trading that it was difficult
to trace market trend. Chesapeake &
Ohio AIS declined one-half while Union
Pacific and Canadian Pacific is were
both higher and West Shore As lower.
In the Second-grade rails the feature
was rise in ST. Paul gold IS to SO, COM

The foreign list was hesitant and
diSinclined to move pending the nego-

German issues were slightly easier.
This weeks bond issues amounted to
about SOS 100000. The total next week
will be expanded by the New York City

MYTH all the modern pleasure producing in
w VentionS within our reach TODAY. an old
timer sometimes has TO stop and think just
how he ever was able to amuSe his best girl in
the days before the automobile, the monograph,
the radio, and the host of other new creations
which the modern counting couple now has the
privilege of enjoying. Perhaps he took her up
the canal for o ride or to the SchutSen Park,
or down the river TO Marshall Hall on q moon
light excursion, where, seated in some snug
corner on the rear deck, or on the top deck, If
it was not too chilly they would study the stars
in their own astronomical way, and, Of course,
if it was too cool, he would gladly share his
coat sleeve If there was no objection to this
course on the part of the other party.
However the limited number Of places there
was to visit naturally made the young folks
pest at the Observatory. and many will recall
in looking back for number of years, the many
pleasant hours at the old Observatory and Its
spacious grounds, and the wonderfully instruc-
tive lessons they listened to from the profess
SorS, who gladly told all about the stars and
the planets and much more than their youthful
minds under such circumstances could grasp or
even remember.
OF course in the early years Of the Republic,
the Government saw no need for an observatory,
and it was only through the persistent efforts
of William Lambert said to have been clerk
in the Person Office, that Congress. IN 1921,
commissioned him to ascertain the longitude
Of the Capitol.

Tariff Reduction

WASHINGTON, July 11.-(P)-
Alvan Macauley, president Of the

Commerce and the Packard Motor
company, told a senate finance sub
committe today that most auto
mobile manufacturers were willing
for the tariff on passenger cars to
be reduced from Is to 10 per cent on
condition existing countervailing
provisions are retained.
Macauley was one of a group Of
automobile magnates called by
Chairman Reed of the sub-commit-
tee to give their views on the feas-
Utility of lowering the motor vehicle
tariff.
Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president Of
General Motors, Endorsed Macauley's
testimony as to the 10 per cent duty,
He told Chairman Reed his cor

Testimony that Edsel Ford ia
vored free trade in automobiles, light

products were concerned was given

Kiwanis Speaker
Advocates Passage
Of Two Amendments

j. L. Abney, guest-speaker at the
Kiwanis luncheon Thursday noon,
strongly urged that voters turn out
on July 16 in support of the two
amendments to the Texas constitu-
ton. One of these amendments
would increase the governors sal
airy from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
while the other would authorize
nine instead Of five supreme court
judges.
Abney declared that the governor
Of Texas at present draws less sal
airy than many minor justices, tax
collectors and other state officials.
Mayors in numerous Texas cities
obtain over $4,000 per annum, Alb
ney said. The local attorney said
there was little more than honor to
the governorship at present and
only a moderately wealthy man
could afford the position.
The supreme court was declared
to be from two to three years be-
hind in its docket at present. There
is too much business before the
court to be handled adequately by
three justices, Abney believed. A
vacation Of three months is given
the judges each year.. During this
time cases of major interest cannot
be tried. If nine judges were ap-
pointed, the court would be in con-
tinuous session, Abney said.
Roy Ruff reported as delegate of
the local Kiwanians to the national
convention held at Milwaukee June
24-27. There were I'll delegates
from the Texas Oklahoma district
In attendance at Milwaukee. Ruff
stated. This district led the entire
United States in new clubs added
the past year.
The next convention of the Tex
s-Oklahona district will be held
at Tulsa sometime in September.
The national convention will be
held in Atlantic City.
Ruff also reported that the XII
wants clubs were leading all other
civic organizations in rural dis
tricts.

Convinced that an organized band

Texas, railroad officials and peace
officers have united in a determined

Eleven special railroad agents,

major lines operating in this section,
