The TIMES were surprised to see

why do they have such things as
that? Do folks live on the boat?
Why I should think that they would
try to hang them in some yard to dry.
They might lose all those clothes, If
out to sea the boat would float"
The Travel Man smiled and then
explained a lot of things again. Said
he, swell, son, they wash the clothes
right here upon the shore. Right in
the stream the washboards go and
clothes are all rubbed to and fro The
clothes are shortly clean cause that
Is what the boards are for.

the shallow water district Of the West Texas plains
country is famous, from above the Caprock to Wichita

Source Of the supply would be 5000 feet above sea

American Lawyers In The Big
Picture

And now the American Bar association has gone
on record as fayoring the repeal Of the 18th amend
ment. A favorable vote of 1879 to 6340 was revealed
by the associations secretary on a referendum pro-
posing that the American Bar association favors the
repeal Of the 18th amendment to the constitution Of
the United States" 1t Is said that rs per cent Of the
membership voted. According to the secretary the
referenda were not submitted with a view to formu-
lating policy on possible legislation but simply TO de-
termine the attitude of the membership. There were
two ballots mailed to members and the first was on
a proposal whether the association should take a
amendment and the other was on the proposal to the
repeal itself.
Then what happened: the referendum proposal car
ried 1872 votes to 5625 votes. Had the vote been ad-
verse to the referendum the ballots or the repeal
would have been destroyed.
George w. Wickersham is a former president Of
the American Bar association, a former attorney gen.
eral of the United States and the chairman Of the
Hoover commission which has been grinding for Is
months and may hand in a report while the closing
session Of congress is grinding.
Will prohibition be an issue in 1882? Go ask the
leaders Of the National Anti-Saloon league, the Ma
tional W. T. C. U. and the hundreds of paper or
CARNATIONS in the United States.
Alfred E. Smith In his campaigning in the year
1928 placed the prohibition baby on the Hoover White
House doorstep. Since 1923 II has become the real
plague Of the republican administration and the froth
above the surface indicates a campaign of unrvaled
political ferocity in 1892. A reaignment in many
states Of American voters and thousands of candi-
dates for office are doing their best to straddle barbed
wire fences.

The Once Over
BOBBY JONES AND THE PICTURES
BY n L PHILLIPS

0-N1, @h~N1 I'll
Robert Invincible Jones has retired from com
petitive golf. 1t was either that or building a home
big enough to hold additional trophies.
Bobby will go into the moving picture where the
biggest mental hazard will be a check for a quarter
OF a million or more for twelve sittings.
A quarter Of a million is a lot OF money in many
industries but it is not even a full backswing in the
flicker trade.
The Maharajah Of Mashies, High Potentate Of the
Putter and Ahkoond of Swat will earn a fortune max
ing a dozen pictures. none of which viii impose as
much strain as would be required to get out of a
sandtrap and acquire a perfectly useless silver cup.
After what Mr.. Jones has heen through in com
p~etitive golf, nothing that Warner Brothers Will ask Of
him can possibly seem any more difficult than sink
ing a three-inch putt.
And a great thing about the movie industry is
that when you 60 through the magnates' bankrolls YOU
are not expected to replace divots.
Mr.. Jones had to retire from golf on the theory that
by becoming a movie actor he would abandon his
amateur standing This is ridiculous. You merely
have to attend a few movies TO realize that almost
without exception the standing Of the actors as anna
teuTs IS secure.
Bobby has always been an amateur in spirit but a
pro in skill, he probably could have split hairs and
commended that his appearance in twelve How To
Play Golf pictures for the American public would
not make him a professional golfer. And he very
likely would have won out. But Mr.. Jones realized
that he had no clubs that would make it possible FOR
him to hole out of the ensuing argument.
And Bobby had no more worlds to conquer in golf,
anyhow. He had taken all the championships. ANA
teur and open, The old home at Atlanta was SO fill
ed with loving cups that he couldn't maintain it much
longer without operating his own metal-polish plant.
Photographs, flashlight powder, reception commit
tees and cheers had become a bore. And the greatest
golfer in the world had reached a point where his
reactions after a victorious tournament we're those
OF a mechanical rabbit at the end Of the whippet
race.
To the Emperor Jones it had become a trained
seal act. and he was sick Of catching all the fish.
For twelve years Bobby had toiled over fairway
and green for silverware, a helping Of chicken a Ia
king, a few bottles of ginger ale and all the country
air he could inhale. And now. by a curious contra
diction, when he decides to quit the game he auto
matically becomes able to use thousand dollar bills
for score cards and tape his fingers with certified
checks
But it will be a bad thing for America. Merely
hearing about Mr.. Jones has filled the multitudes with
the illusion they might play a good game Of golf.
When they see these slow motion lessons they will be-
come crazier than ever.

Shields shook his head. Hard to

IL Brownsville.
The Brownsville college Scorps,
as pretty a football team as you'll
find clicking off first downs in this
part Of the country. tangleS things
with st. Mary's of San Antonio.
st. Mary's claims to be quite the
berries, but if we're not wrong
they'll find that after all they're
just the ~razzberries.
The local team has a reputation
throughout the state and so has
81. Mary'S. The crowd that is ex-
pected to gather az Tucker Field
will be another Of those largest
on record" kind.
The weather. according to weather
chief Schnurbusch. is to be ideal
fair. clear. and cold. There should
be a minimum Of fumbling. much
passing and running.
Well see you at Tucker Field. And
go early, in order 10 get a seat.
Now Is The Time
This is the time OF the year the
Valley begins to shine.
Up north, snow and ice cover
the ground. trees are bare. roads
are bad. and indoor sports are the
only kinds possible.
But down in the Valley trees are
full Of leaves. palms wave in the
wind. roads are excellent, and the
weather has just enough tang in II
TO make outdoor sports really pleas
ant.
That's why tourists flock to the
Rio Grande Valley by ever ncreas-
ing thousands. They want sun
shine, the green Of trees and grass,
the pleasure Of being outdoors.
And that's why in the future, the
Valley annually will entertain more
tourists than there are residents.
Somnambulism
Some people think sleep walking
is funny.
But UP in New York a chap
started strolling around in his sleep
with a razor in his hand. After
his stroll il was found that he had
killed a 16-year old half-brother.
and had badly slashed a sister and
his mother.
A local woman. who walked in her
sleep, answered an advertisement
which guaranteed to stop sleep
walking If the coupon was clipped.
She clipped the coupon, mailed It,
and a few weeks later received a
neat package. 1t contained a rope.
II wouldn't be a bad idea to tie
I'D the New York man every night.
Especially II there are any razors
around the house.

Barney Shields, young newspa-

CHAPTER LVIII
John Mitchell leaned both elbows
on his desk and frowned at the
leather desk pad. II was seven
o'clock and he was sitting in the
living room Of his home. The mans
face was shocking For the past
three days and nights Mitchell had
had little sleep. Dark circles be-
meath his eyes told Of long. restless
vigils. There we're deep lines in his
forehead and his cheeks were pal
lid.
Mitchell fumbled with a pencil
He did not even know that he was
holdir, IL. For the thousandth time
the man tried to think and, as al
ways. he came sharply up against
the same stone wall.
He was a failure. He had always
been a failure. Celia. his daughter.
had LEI him Just as years before
Margaret. MS wife. had gone.
"Oh. Godlr Mitchell eroaned
aloud. He threw one arm across the
desk and closed his eyes.
Where was Margaret now? Why
could she not understand his ire
mendous need Of her? II was Mar
Faret's need as weel as his own real

Couldn't the woman know she was
deserving them both?

him. He saw her with lips parted.
