The idea Of locking part OF the
children Of Texas out Of the public
schools, as a substitute for levying
necessary taxes on the wealth-gain-
ing takers Of Texas natural re-
sources, Is a poor way OF meeting
the problem, Sen. Julian Greer,
Athens school man, believes.
The proposal 10 exclude 10 per
cent Of the present Sabotage
children from the public schools
came back before the special ses-
sion, as it had been before the reg
ular session. 1t drew a prompt at
tack from the educator-senator
from east Texas.
This would be equivalent in
numbers 10 closing every school in
SO counties Of the state" Sen.
Greer pointed out.
1T would take out about l40, 900
Of the 1900, 900 scholastics.
Texas often is referred to as one
OF the backward states in educa-
ton. ..... The last census showed
that the number OF our ~illiterates
had increased"
Texas was the last OF the 48
states 10 admit the six-year-old
pupils to its public schools" he
said. Every other state has that
policy firmly adopted. Edo not
believe Texas will take the back
ward step ever Of shutting its
schools to one-tenth its public
Sabotage children.
Anyway. the action would do
the state nc good this year or next.
Already the six-year-olds have
been counted in the scholastic cen
sus and certified 10 the state de-
partment. in 1892 each school will
draw its $17.50 from the state for
each of these children. Why should
it not use the money to educate the
child?
Another factor Is this: the pro-
posal to raise from six to seven the
admission age was made along with
the bill recommended by Gov
Sterling and approved by all school
people, TO allow pupils over II "a
complete high school without hav-
ing to pay tuition.
But that applies 70 much few
er pupils. 49,. Many have dropped
out TO 90 to work. Many have
finished the public schools. Many
have turned to specialized schools
and training.
The younger pupils are the ones
who can go 10 school. They are the
ones who should be in school"
Dealing them out now woulC
cause endless confusion" he con-
tinues, "since they already have
been counted for the scholastic
census, and the schools have be-
come entitled TO receive the ap.
portionment for them. and the APP
portionment has been fixed upor
that basis.
Parents throughout Texas would
keenly resent such action. The only
reason that could be given. in the
last analysis. for such action. i.
the failure Of the legislature. wher
the matter properly was before ID
10 levy the proper and necessary
taxes upon the wealth-producle
sources in Texas to meet the
needs.
The people Of Texas will not
readily subscribe TO the doctrine
that in order TO avoid taxing those
growing wealthy from depicting oul
natural resources, ii Is all right Il
shut enough pupils out Of the
schools to make up for the lack oil
taxes
That's one view on the neces.
sity Of levying more taxes.

Daily Health
Talk

Opinions differ as TO whether
or not water should be taken at
meals. II serves the purpose OF
diluting the mixture Of food in the
stomach, making the absorption
easier and facilitating the move
ment Of the residue through the
intestines. Water should not, how
ever. be used 10 wash down Jumps
Of unchewed food that may remain
in the mouth while eating.
Ice water Is a common American
habit. little used in foreign cOun-
tries. 1t chills the stomach. but SO
far a. known Is not harmful. n
less taken nj excessive quantities
or at times when the person may
be overheated.
CarbOnated water, soda water,
ginger ale and similar mOdifica-
tons OF ordinary water are pleas
ant 70 take II one has a taste for
them. They sometimes Serve the
purpose or adding alkali. which Is
Of benefit in persons who have
unusual acidity. Favored waters
are ordinarily harmless ~ proper
ly prepared and If they do not
contain SO much sugar that they
interfere with the appetite and
the digestion.
II should be remembered that
tea. coffee. milk and soup are
largely water and that most foods
contain a considerable amount OF
fluid as well. IN persons with dis
case conditions that tend 10 ac-
cumulate water in the body. the
amount OF fluid intake Is ordinar-
ily restricted BY the physician.
From the hygienic point Of view
the amount and nature OF bacteria
contained in the water are OF
great Importance. Formerly ty-
phoid fever was transmitted pri-
marty by bad water supplies. Now
adays anv civilized community
controls the bacterial-containing
water supply by the use OF filtra-
ton and chlorination.
Among the faddists there are
also water fanatics that flood the
body with fluids and in their
places OF employment wear a path
from the desk 10 the drinking
fountain. INSTRUMENTATION on
water Is Just as bad a habit as
instrumentation on anything
else.
So many cities and institutions
now use LIQUID chlorine and cal
cf-m hypochlorite for disinfection
OF water supplies that the process
would not seem TO require any
further defense before the public.
Only a few institutions still use
ozone and ultraviolet rays for this
purpose.

TIE chisa saId, "ThrOtU them into the TsUsT'.
In searching for new ideas for this great chain of

Chief large candy manufacturer in Europe sent US
sample shipment of his well-known fruits and can
dies. We were "a hetup" when the shipment ar
rived, and could hardly wait until the cases were
opened.
The boxes we're bespangled with gold just like
circus wagon, laid thick and the candy looked like
a pcture-every color of the rainbow, only very, very
much deeper-the green real grass green; the
red, yellow and purple looked like Jacobs Coat;
the havors tasted like perfume (but who in the dickens
wants to eat perfumeO
Don't let single box of these candies go to

chemist, and then will decide what to do do
not lust like the looks of them, said he.
The laboratory reports of these imported chocolates
came through won't tell you what was found, but
do know this The Chief said Load all these imported
candies on of big trucks, drive TO the dock
and throw them into the river OF course we did not
throw them into the river, because the law will not
permit even imported candies TO be thrown into the
river, so we sent them to the incinerator.
Imported chocolates are not good enough for

Actually two titles will be in volved as Berg holds the junior well terweight championship, and for the first time in ring history title must be won and lost regardless of the victor.
 The outcome pivots around Eerg's ability to make the light weight limit of 135 pounds and re- tain the strengt hand stamina to keep up his tireless. attack. Berg has made 135 pounds before with out sappipg his energy.
 Jack Beat Tony Once
 Berg was quoted an 8-5 favorite to-day, principally because he whipped Canzoneri when neither held title in New York in January last year. Few doubt that if he's strong at the weight, Berg can turn the trick again.
 In their first match Canzoneri had the pink k-cheeked Englishman Grog- gy in the opening round, but couldn't finish him and wound up at the end of 10-rounds ,a badly beaten fighter.
 Once before CanZoneri held a championship. and in his first at | tempt to defend it he lost He won official recognition as featherweight titleholder by defeat ing Benny Bass in February, 1928, and lost the 12S-pound crown to Andre Routis of Franco in Septem- Der the same year.
 Growing into lightweight, Can- zoneri obtained a title match with Sammy Mandell in 1929, but lost the decision. In his second chance at the lightweight ampionship he knocked out Al singer in 66 seconds 1 of fighting last November Singer l had previously won the title by l knocking out Mandell in 1 minute, | 3Z seconds, in July last year. Some Record Since he was held to a draw by | Stanislaus LoayZa in June, 1929,
 Berg has won 24 consecutive bouts | including victories over Bruce Flow CTS, Joe Click, the Perlick Twins, | Kid Chocolate. Mushy Callahan, Phil
 McGraw, Billy Petrolle, and Billy l Wallace.
 Berg has ~lost only two bouts,
 both to Petrolle--a 5-round tech
 nical knockout and 10-round de- cision in 1928. He reversed these two setbacks by giving Petrolle q decisive defeat last October. l A crowd of 15.000 Is expected and
 the receipts if that many see the
 bout, will approximate $60,000 and
 set a new high mark for boxing
 contest for 1881.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-04-24

almost certain to beat the record The Quakers won year ago In 1O:20 1-5, just fraction behind the mark established by Yale in 191b. Penn could easily have bettered the mark had Bill McNiff. anchor man, chosen to run 1t out to the tape.
 The 120-yard high hurdle event has attracted 4G entries. In this race, J. E. Hatfield of Indiana. will defend the title he won last year.
 Champions On Hand
 William O'Connor of Columbia, is another champion who will be on hand to defend his 1930 laurels. O'Connor took the high jump last year.
 Joe McCluskey of Fordham. and c. Chamberlain of Michigan state intercollegiate cross-country cham . pion, are joint favorites in the ever amusing 5000 metre steeplechase' another of today's bright spots.
