It was so sweet that Elanda sob.

could go on. Then, because she knew
she would have 70, she told Greg's
mother the truth.
! Hard as IL was, Elanda told her
al The truth. It was like confession
al, and it eased her heart and her
conscience and helped take away
the pain OF her humiliation for her
own f~oclishness.
Elanda began at first and told
her q little Of her home in Jardor.

years she had swallowed her fear
and gone TO New York with q chip
on her shoulder to show the world
that the Lees down by the river

When Elanda came to Greg, she
hesitated. Then she went on brave

Elanda bent her head over and
Mother Du Port remained silent for
a moment. Then she lifted II 10.
Il am not blaming you, my child.

That was the hardest part OF al

Mother Du Pont almost lost con-

There was no pretense OF real love

Texas has a prison system that should lave gone
out with the OK cart period Of civilization. 1t has cost
the taxpayers millions of dollars since 1920. Many re-
forms have been instituted since Dan Moody became
governor. but the system as IL exists today is a re-
proach to the intelligence and self respect Of the
people Of Texas. This is one Of the paramount issues
as outlined by the governor:
Texas should have a self-supporting penltentiary
system, and it should be built along modern lines o.
sanitation and human welfare to take the place Of the
financial sinkhole and human vrecker which Texas
now calls the penitentiary'"
Prison problems are uppermost the country over Gov

The Once Over
THE OYSTER CRACKER BRAIN TEST

Copyright, 1880, by The Associaxeo NeVspapersJ
C"Half a peanut or one oyster cracker will sustain
the brain Of an Edison or an Einstein for one hour,
concluded DR.. Francis G. Benedict and Cornelia q.
Benedict. Carnegie Institution scientists. after a win
ter's research."-ASociated Press)
How it may have been done:
Monday-Called ON Mr.. Edison today with peanuts
and oyster crackers, but he wasn't hungry. Told him
I would come back some other time.
T-uesday-Decided to try Edison again and got there
before lunch. Placed bag Of peanuts on table. but
he showed no interest. Finally urged him to try one.
Said he didn't care for peanuts and wished I had
brought caraway seeds. Offered him an oyster crack
err. but he refused to touch them. Said Mrs. Edison
was awfuIly fussy about crumbs on floor. Pleaded
with him to take one cracker as a personal favor.
Said he was too busy. but to come back wednesday.
wednesday-Up early and to Mr.. Edison with oys-
ter cracker as per appointment. Mr.. Edison in con-
ference. Sent the oyster cracker to him with sug-
gestion he eat it at once. Mr.. Edison refused, saying
he never ate crackers In conference. Felt disappoint-
ed, but got one Of Edison's assistants to eat one. AS
sistant showed marked reaction almost at once as
per following chart:
e.O5-Invented a better light than Edisons.
e:i5-Discovered ~televsion telegram.
s:30-Announced q way to produce rubber from
broccoli.
s35-Announced a method for producing inner
tubes from cauliflower, ox-eyed daisies and dande-
lion greens.
e:40-was about to discover secret Of perpetual
motion when effect Of oyster cracker began to wear
off. Was afraid to feed him another for fear he
would eclipse Edison. Wanted to try him en- a pea
nut, but thought it hazardous.
Thursday-Got a wire from Mr.. Edison. AZ
ter discovering what his assistant had done on one
oyster cracker he wanted immediate shipment Of
barrel.
Prof. Einstein had taken half a peanut and whole
oyster cracker at one time, through misunderstand-
ing. In half an hour he had thrown out the old
Einstein theory and perfected eleven substitutes.
1t was then necessary to put ice packs on his head.
"
Monday-Visited Henry Ford offices. Henry was
suspicious, but offered to eat half a peanut II his
son. Edsel, would eat the oyster cracker. / agreed.
Henrys eyes took on an amazing sparkle at once.
Edsels forehead took on a most unusual glow. In
side of fifteen minutes Henry had worked out a
combination Ford roadster. airplane and motor
boat. Edsel announced invention of a gasoline SUBJ
stitute 20 be made from paper pie plates and old
shaving-cream tubes.
Henry SO pleased with effect OF half a peanut on
brain that he went on a peanut diet at once.
Tuesday-Decided to try experiment on myself
Ate two peanuts and a bowl Of oyster crackers. Now
know who I am. T am Napoleon, Robert Fulton
Alexander Graham Bell. Eli Whitney, Watt and
Morse.

He said he would present a resolu-

to get the regular house committee To
give consideration to any bills propoS-

lack Of a uniform plan.

norities who put over prohibition lay
In their united support of one plan.
The same tactics must now be en-
ployed to undo the harm that was
done.
THE ranks of the prohibitionists
are broken. They cannot longer agree
among themselves about their future
program. They blame everything but
the unsoundness Of the law itself for
its failure.
1.-THE fanatics, in their frenzied des-
peration, call for trial without jury,
