A Cause for Optimism

Although the Bureau Of Business Conditions Of the
Alexander Hamilton Institute does not believe tina.
business will improve to any satisfactory extent be-
fore next spring, at the earliest. it nevertheless sees
reason for a strong, healthy optimism as regards the
future.
Prosperity" 1t remarks in a current bulletin. de
ponds on production. and the means to produce are
as great now as in 1929. The United States still hes
machinery, abundant natural resources and an ener-
getic, capable and intelligent people. Given these
fundamentals nothing can stop, over the long-term
trend, increasing production, greater prosperity, a
higher standard Of living. A period Of depression is
not a sign Of degeneration but a sign Of progress. It
is merely the result OF a zealousness overdone, a
characteristic which is the root Of progress"
There is q lot Of sound sense in that. 1t comes
as a good antidote to some Of the gloomy pessimism
which is so popular right now.

Frock Coats in Texas

Although we live in a time Of chance and tur-
moi, all is not yet lost. The old ways are vanishing
fast. but here and there a community stands out
like a rock for its traditional virtues. Texas, to be
brief, is proving a Gibraltar.
The other day Gene Howe, the Amarillo editor, in
vited Mary Garden, the grand opera star, TO a tea.
He also invited some 40 leading Amarillo citizens TO
the tea. and stipulated that they must wear frock
coats so that the occasion might be Just what a widely
travelled grand opera star could expect.
But-frock coats in Texas? The 40 guests searched
their wardrobes. No frock coats. They sped down
town to the clothing stores. Not a frock coat was to
be had. The Panhandle has never found much use
for them. and the clothiers simply hadn't stocked
them. So, in the end, the 40 Texans had to wire
effete Chicago and have their frock coats sent down
special delivery.
All Of this, very likely. is relatively unimportant in
a day Of great issues and knotty problems. But there
is something extremely encouraging about it, Just the
same. The frock coat. a minor matter at best, is a
symbol-and so is the fact that the Texas Panhandle
turned out 10 be a frock ~coat-less area.
For the frock coat-what is it. anyway? A use
less and not particularly attractive item of wearing
apparel, used only on occasions where one must put
on the dog. No man dons one, ever, unless he has
become citified and fashion-conscous It is out Of
place in the great open spaces. Romance is not in II.
The arrival Of the frock coat on any scene means
that frontier days are gone forever, and that the
memory Of them has grown dim. The hardy pioneers,
who seldom SlaNeu. never Ddlitui ALT OIeSStu-A
the old song Is 70 be believed-in leather hreeches-
would very likely have shot any man who put on q
frock coat i'll their presence.
And Texas Is not just one Of the 48 states in the
American union. 1t is-well, 1t is Texas. a state set
apart, a state with @ great tradition. Texas Is not
supposed to be citified. A Texan, whether he likes it
or not. is supposed TO be a brawny, t~wo-fisted, en-
ergetic man who can galop from Fort Worth TO the
Rio Grande before breakfast. shooting half a dozen
Mexicans en- route and combining in his person the
best features Of Tom Mix, Douglas Fairbanks and Sam
Houston. Putting him in a frock coat IS like putting
New Yorks Jimmy Walker in chaps and a sombrero.
1t goes against nature.
SO, we repeat. it is comforting to find that ANA
rillo can put on frock coats for a tea party only by
virtue Of special delivery service from Chicago. To
be sure, after Mr.. Howes party the Panhandle will
be h%arboring at least 40 frock coats. but the Pan
handle is large. they will not 60 far, and they will sell
dom be worn. Texas Is still Texas. Let us be thank
full.

The Passing of a Grudge

Most hatreds do not last very long. National feel
ing has a way Of softening as the years pass. A COL
lective grudge is a hard thing to keep alive.
The other day the Spanish General Valeriano
Weyler died-and got. on an average, a paragraph
or two of type in most American newspapers. Yet
it was only a generation ago that Weyler was the
object Of more American hatred than any other man
alive.
Weyler was the officer Spain sent to Cuba TO
curb the instruction Of the COS. His inhuman
methods Of treating the civilian population had a
great deal to do with rousing indignation in this
country to the point where q declaration Of war
could have popular support.
But now. when he dies. the old hatred is dead. It
takes a more than ordinarily bitter grudge to last
30 years.

BELGIAN ROLL TESTS
CHRYSLERS FOR SHOCK
Ingenious workout" Is Given Cars
at Factory.

To protect the car owners invest
ment by building rigidly constructed
bodies, Chrysler engineers have
designed device known as the
Belgian Rolf test which in a few
hours duplicates the road shocks the
car would receive in a lifetime on
the road.
A car picked at random from the
final assembly line is anchored on a
series of eccentric rollers and run
under its own power. It is twisted
and strained in every way possible.
It bounceS from side to side, every
motion intended to bring out the
weak spots, while. recording devices
accurately tell the story of the
strength of the wheels, axles and
body.
Facts learned from these tests
make a most interesting story, From
them, Chrysler engineers have re-
designed fender braces and sheet
metal work. Radiator supports and
the manner of mounting the
radiator have been altered. Num-
Der and disposition Of the body bolts
have been changed to better resist
this severe test, and the treatment
to be received on the road.

WASHINGTON, March 26. A
senate fight was in prospect today
against confirmation of Federal
Judge John j. Parker, North Caro-

court, which may rival in bit
terness that against Charles Evans
Hughes as chief justice.

consider his nomination. This sub
committee, headed by Senator Over

Senators Borah 1daJ and Water

the next few days.
Some western Republicans who
led the fight against Hughes have
manifested an interest in this vel
low dog" contract decision, and may
attempt to marshal a show of op-
position against the North Caro-
lima Republican judge, who was
named to succeed the late Edward
Terry Sanford. appointed from the
neighboring state Of Tennessee.
Labor leaders have rather deep
seated feeling against this decision,
but there appears little likelihood
they can muster enough opposition
to threaten confirmation, since 1t
does not appear now many southern
Democrats would enter such a fight.
