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 L
curb the instruction of the COS. His inhumar
methods Of treating the civilian population had a
great deal to do with rousing indignation in thi;
country to the point where a declaration Of wal
could have popular support.
But now, when he dies. the old hatred is dead. II
takes a more than ordinarily bitter grudge TO last
80 years.

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
vi,ed 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 70
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 1t, 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 to be a frock coat-less area.
For the frock coat-what is il, 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-conscious. II is out OF
place in the great open spaces. Romance is not in it.
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 shaved. never bathed. and dressed-if
the old song is TO be believed-in leather breeches.
would very likely have shot any man who put on q
frock coat in their presence.
And Texas is not just one of the 48 states in the
American union. 1t is-welL, it is TexaS, a state set
apart, a state with a great tradition. Texas is not
supposed to be citified. A Texan. whether he likes it
or not. is supposed to be a brawny, two-fisted, en-
ergetic man who can gallop 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, 1t 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.. Howe's party the Panhandle will
be harboring at least 40 frock coats, but the Pan
handle is large, they will not 90 far. and they will sell
dom be worn. Texas is still Texas. Let US be thank
full.

able. For this reason, building ma
terials must be protected from the
weathering it causes, and paint, in
this connection, is the ideal pre-
servative. 1t seals the pres of the
wood and forms a protective coat

Used on concrete and stuccO, paint
prevents surface cracks, dampness,

For economical reasons, painting
should begin long before a house has
been finished. Then the insides of
frames, the undersides of tin roofs,
steps, poTches, the backs of interior,
trim, ETC., may be given the neces-
sary protective coat of paint before
the process of the building work has
made this impossible. If places like
these are neglected, the roof soon
leaks, windows stick, doors warp.
Metal easement windows should
always have paint protection. Other
