thur Shaw Of the Department Of Labor,

mission and Thomas Kirby, national

that in anticipation of broad employ
ment during the Winter the organiZa-
ton had opened a campaign last July

District Commissioners when more de-
tails will be considered.

comments that this is a very clear cut

Improvement in armory training and
a better coordination of its programs

against annexation WIS so strong,
as shown by the vote in Congress
in 1897, that when Gen. Sam Hous-
ton was inaugurated President OF
Texas in 1912 he extolled Eng
land as the ally of the infant re-
public and warned Texans that they
could expect no aid or sympathy
from the United States and it is
tact that England was making
eyes at Texas with the hope, no
doubt, of controlling the destinies
of the infant republic and making
sure of a helpful ally when Texas
became strong.
John Tyler was President then.
He favored the annexation of Tex
as. and fortunately for the coun-
try he was in position to push the
issue with all the power of a chief
executive. He knew that he was po-
litically dead with both the great
parties and stood no show what
ever for denomination or re-elec-
ton. Tyler was a Democrat who
was in bad standing with his party.
The Wings had taken him up and
placed him on their national ticket
with William Henry Harrison. The
ticket was elected, but Harrison
lived only a few weeks after taking
the oath of office. Tyler became
president and soon made himself as
unpopular with the Wings as he
was with the Democrats. Every
member of his cabinet resigned.
But Tyler favored the annexation
i of Texas, and having nothing to
lose, he became the bold champion
of the cause. He named a new cab
met, which was friendly toward
the annexation, and re-opened the
case which had suffered a crushing
defeat in 1897. Finally negotiations
were re-opened with Pres. Sam
Houston, who at heart favored an
nexation to the United States, but
was disguised with the former
vote of Congress on the question,
and annexation became the para
mount issue in the national cam
paign of 1874. James X. Polk, the
Democratic candidate won ON an
annexation platform over Henry
Clay, the Wing candidate. And the
next year Texas became a State in
the American Union.

ANNEXATION OF TEXAS
CAUSED MUCH TROUBLE

Ninety-five years ago the annex
alton of Texas was as troublesome
an issue in American politics as the
prohibition of intoxicating liquors
is today. Both the great political
parties feared it, and politicians
jumped or evaded when the question
was mentioned. The question was
passed on by Congress III 1887 and
defeated by a large majority.
In the campaign of 1910 neither
party dared take a stand, SO both
platforms, the Democratic and the
Wing, were silent on the annexa-
ton of Texas. 1t was sincerely
hoped by the politicians that both
party platforms would also ignore
the question in 1884. Sentiment

Women's Feet Growing Larger

LONDON, = Are women's feet
growing larger?
While the mere layman would
hesitate to suggest so, DR.. ]. T.
Irving of the physiology department
of Bristol University, England, in
sinuates that such is the case.
DR.. Irving points out that at an
exhibition of period costumes dating
from 1870, held at Bristol recently,
it was discovered that none of the
women visitors could wear shoes
corresponding with the earlier
dresses. He puts forward the view
that exercise and a healthier mode
