Texas has 100000 qualified voters. They are in
terested in the pending changes in the constitution Of
the commonwealth. Our state constitution is Of the
vintage Of 1876. II Is moss covered and antiquated
Former State sen. Edgar Witt, who will be elected
lieutenant governor in November. is chairman Of the
committee directing a campaign OF education in order
to inform all qualified voters Of the Importance Of
adopting the pending amendments. There will be five
voted on Nov. 4 BY the men and women Of Texas. Sen.
Witt in a recent address favored the provision for a
continuous session Of the supreme court instead Of the
nine months session as now which will provide de-
lays inevitable should the amendment be defeated. He
advised that the II West Texas counties in which the
University OF Texas land is now located should be al
lowed to tax those lands for county purposes. since
county improvements enhance the value of the lands.
He warned the voters that unless the permanent uni
verSity funds can be invested in other than state and
national bonds, as at present provided, the university
will suffer a heavy financial loss in 1888 when the
federal government will recall most of the liberty
bonds in which the university money is now invested
and issue new bonds at a lesser rate of interest.
He further reminded the voter that the amount Of
state bonds is insignificant and he is Of the opinion
that no more will be issued. Referring TO the proposal
for a To-day continuous session Of the legislature in
stead of the present 6O-day session and several 30-day
called sessions. he declared that the adoption Of the
amendment would save time now spent in organization,
save money for the taxpayer and produce wiser and
more we'll considered laws for the people. Lastly he
discussed the matter Of raising legislators pay from
SIS a day to $40 a day and reducing mileage allowance
from 20 cents to 10 cents q mile, which he predicted
would save money for the state and be more equit-
able toward those selected to make the laws Of the
commonwealth.
All five constitutional amendments are said to have
the support Of ex-student organizations Of Texas as
we'll as the board Of regents Of the university and the
institutions OF higher learning. They have the active
backing Of many newspapers as well as the endorse
ment OF men and women who are prominent as well
as active IN all fields OF endeavor and who are fam
liar with the needs Of a new Texas and a new civili-
cation. Texas has a population nearing the 100000
mark. Texas Is forging ahead as a manufacturing
state. Texas is one of the great mineral producing
states Of the sisterhood. Texas is the greatest OF ag-
ricult.iral and meat producing states. II Is a producer
OF hides and wool and mohair. Its cities and towns
are growing at an amazing rate. Constructive laws
are needed and constructive men should make them.
This calls for the adoption OF the amendments to the
constitution which are SO greatly needed at this time
in a commonwealth functioning under a constitution
adopted almost so years ago.

The Once Over

DINOsAUR EGGS nv MONTANA
Copyright, 1880, BY The Associated Newspapers

Dinosaur eggs have been found in America. This
is the first real break the Hoover administration
has had.
The eggs were dug up in southern Montana. They
are not very good as eggs, but will be received in the
very best circles as Grade A antiques.
sss
DR.. Roy Chapman found dinosaur eggs in Mon
golia a few years ago. but the ones now found on
American soil are fresher by ten million years.
sss
Credit for their discovery goes to DR.. Glenn l..
Jepson OF Princeton. who suddenly finds himself In
the limelight as the nations biggest egg. II not butter,
man.
The dinosaur eggs are a big thing for Princeton and
will In a measure atone for the loss of the Brown
Of Yale and Harvard in the matter Of prehistoric
omelettes.
Yale has never been very successful in the egg bust
ness, although 1t has had millions of dollars to work
with. It's big egg hunters have always chung to the
ld-fashioned formations and straight line plunging.
Harvard men have for years aspired TO leadership in
the matter Of dinosaur eggs. and the news that a
Princeton man had found the first ones on this con-
tinent cast a shadow OF gloom over Harvard clubs
from coast to coast.
Glum little groups Of Harvard men we're to be found
gathered here and there today discussing in low tones
the Princeton triumph and gloomly deploring the
fact that the Crimson colors had been lowered again.
sss
Near the dinosaur eggs was found the tooth Of a
prehistoric mammal. This will delight scientists the
world over as II makes the mystery more intricate.
One theory is that the tooth is the key to the dis
appearance Of dinosaurs. The unidentified mammal.
it is figured out. ate the eggs, thus rendering a great
service to the world.
The one great regret of civilized man on the high
ways and byways of the country today IS that no
animal ever ate the eggs Of our interurban motor
buses. They are not only as big as the dinosaurs, but
much more dangerous.
What to do with the eggs. now that he has found
them, Is one Of Prof. JepSon's problems. A sugges-
ton that he summon FARO Agha. the aged Turk. to
sit on them and see what he can hatch has been
rejected.

ally millions of people sit up nights to read
his works.
, This Is phenomenal when you stop to con-
slider that Harold Bell Wright has many very
active enemies and adverse critics. who delight
in banning his novels and in calling him all
sorts of uncomplimentary names.
But usually the critics are among the self
exalted higher-ups of the country, Mr.. Wright
finds, whereas all his writings are directed at
the great mass of common people whom-as
Mr.. Lincoln remarked-God must have loved
because He made so many of them. Their very
numbers have made Harold Bell Wright both
wealthy and famous.
Incidentally, among the very favorable critics
Of Harold Bell Wright among those who have
regarded him positively as the greatest writer
of all time were his own three sons.
One of them, Paul (whose death a short time
ago ended probably brilliant stage career and
left a mark the heart of a devoted father,
overheard his dad once remark that Shakes
peare was the greatest of all authors
Gee, dad. did he have you Skinned?" the
incredible little Paul demanded
"Unquestionably,' Mr.. Wright laughed.
Harold Bell Wright'S boys have been a source
of pleasure to him throughout their lives. The
Oldest. Gilbert, first made success in scientific
studies then moved into novel writing The
third son, Norman, is university student.
Mr.. Wright has every faith in the so-called
younger generation today. He sees nothing in
them or their conduct that should be viewed
with alarm" He admits they take many lib
critics, have pre-empted many freedoms and
manners that were taboo. but for any
undue license they have taken he blames not
them but their elders.
1t is, possibly, our current decade of
flaming youths that the first major impetus
toward spiritual research and discovery is likely
to come, Mr.. Wright suggests. A generation
reared in an atmosphere of physical achieve
ment conceivably will get more thrill later out
of probing into mans spiritual and emotional
phenomena The zest of discovery and expert
ment in this new realm will be far greater than
any recompense our current engineers and
scientists know, ..,sn.tsstti srs ~,-l

with words, and the place is designed to make
work as easy and rapid as possible. 1t is a
long, simply designed ROOM dominated by hori-
zontal windows which frame exquisitely the
natural pictures of mountains and desert.
The tone of the entire room is a Subdued
green a color matched absolutely by carpet,
walls, selling and draperies. Some plain but
beautiful tables and chairs, desks and book
holders complete the furnishings One or two
works of art and some very pretty wrought iron
fixtures made by Mr.. Wright himself are the
only ornaments. But the decorative effect of
the views from the long windows is positively
startling.
The entire home is impressive in its beauty
and liveability, but Is not in the least preten-
tious. 1t is a simple Spanish desert archi-
lecture conforming to no very definite school
of design. All of the shrubs, except those in
the little gem of patio, are native to the
desert. and the color Of the home itself blends
into the sun-baked desert tan. Guest rooms of
the home are in separate building some yards
away, and incident to them is a blue-green
swimming pool. These rooms are fascinating
because of their In6ian furnishings and works
of art.
The Wright homeplace is scarcely visible from
a short distance away, except for the fact that
it rests on desert knoll. 1t is situated on a
160-acre tract OF raw desert land bought by
Mr.. Wright because of its natural beauty and
suitability as a place for a workshop. There
