During the troubled times OF reconstruction
the Rangers were about the only factor which
made lie endurable In Texas Although their
forces were reduced from 900 20 about 800 men
they effectively held the hostile Indians In check
and suppressed the banditry and cattle-stealing

frontier became so serious that a well-organzed
mounted police force became vital necessity.

authorized the organization OF the Frontier Bat
talon Of Texas Rangers and appropriated $780,

ginning Of the Texas Rangers as they have since
been constituted.
Governor Richard Coke called for $50 volun-

six companies OF IS men each with John B.

this period In the history OF the organization.
Capt James b. Gillett. who joined It in 1915,
writes In his "Slx Years With the Texas Rang
| ers" Yale University Press):
During the first six months OF service nearly
every company In the battalion had an Indian
fight and some OF them two or three. The bat
talon finally cleared the Texas frontier OF the
redskins and then turned its attention 10 the
other pests of the siate-thieves, bandits and
fugitiyes from justice. In this work the Rangers
rendered service second 10 none and became in
an incredibly short time perhaps the most fam
Gus and efficient body of mounted police In the
world
'In the IS years from 1865 to 1888, the Texas
Rangers followed 12S Indian raiding parties and
fought the redskins in 81 pitched battles. Dur
Ing this same period they recovered 6.0O0 stolen
horses and cattle and rescued three citizens car
ried or by the Indians. In this period u rang
ers were killed. In the years 1SS9-1S90 the
rangers arrested $40 persons, among them 76
murderers.
-. This history disclosed record OF con-
tinuous duty throughout the half century Of the
ranger battalion's existence In guarding the lives
the liberty and the property OF Texas citizens.
And the Ranger has been content to perform
this duty unheralded and almost unsung. Per-
formance OF duty, II matters not where It may
lead him, into whatever desperate situation or
howsoever dangerous the thing demanded, has
always been the slogan of the organization. For
courage, patriotic devotion, instant obedience,
and efficiency, the record of the Texas Ran3ers
has been exceled by no body Of constabulary
ever mustered"

 chings in the U. s. during the per-
 iod 1S85-1934. Of these 9S5 were whites and S161 negroes--an aver age of s4 per per year. In 1902 there were 92, the first year the number fell below 100. The high year was 1892 with 231. Since 1902 no year has exceeded 100. How ever since 1924 there has been some increase except in 1882 when 1t fell to an sall-time low of sS.aonly to rise in 1888 to 2S. This decrease probably been due to public edu- cation. The Wagner-C Costigan fed- eral bill against lynching proposes a heavy fine against the count where lynching occurs an dis based on the remarkable record Of the South Carolina law where no county that has been fined has had a subsequent lynching since the law was passed in 1896. This seems even more effective than education.

RRY0UR CHILDREN

Often children arc confused about whom they are to obey. Obedience, especially with tiny children, ig somewhat Q matter Of mutual sympathy. A little boy or girl will obey somebody he loves more willingly and quickly than some one he fears or disitkeo. That is, unless fear is played upon to such an extent that he goo1 through the motion.
 The school-child is more opiit- donated. He obeys more by req son than by instinct or emotion. One fine day he begins to wofir der just who has authority OvoH him besides his parents and liis
 For instance, Mir Smith has . garden. As he works near the fense he invites aome boys in.
 Each of his guests owes obedis ence while they are on his prop, erty, as a matter of courtesy and legally.
 Exceeding Authority
 Suppose MT Smith says: "Jim Jones, climb that tree and fetch down the newspaper that blew up there from the street. Would Jim have to obey him? Certainly not. The only rules to which Jim needs to conform are determined by the status quo of proprietor and visitor, plus good taste and manners.
 MT Smith has a perfect right to say, Boys, don't step on that soft throw things in the fish pool" Ia other words, obedience here itr- cludes all the laws of trespass but little more.
 In a home where there are maids or a nurse children are supposed to obey them to . reat sonable extent. Too seldom do mothers fix the boundaries. This leads to trouble. Children take advantage.
 When Maid Is i'm Charge
 A mother may leave Jennie to care for three children all day. Poor Jennie-if her mistress has not prepared the way and outlined a program for all. She can make Jennie her deputy, pro tenn, and say, Children, whatever you ard told to do, do 1t at once the same as if were here"
 A teachcer once penalized . cul-t prit by making him stay an hour after school every day for week and chop wood. It became an issue in the country community.
 Had he kept the boy an hour t6 write words, there would have been no complaint. Authority stopped at the school door, not the gate. Yet had he directed the boy to mend the door, that too, would be outside his Jurisdiction, unless the boy had broken the door.
 When a child says to someone You're not my boss" very often he is wrong. Often he is right.
 Authority of others outside tine family, even of relatives, should be explained. Children must get off mans lot if he says so. They cannot touch grandma's cookies if she. says so. But if the man or grandma tell Jim to go and change his shoes, there is a diff ference. There is a tacit under standing that grandma acts as deputy for mother.
 One thing children must mol get into their heads, and that is thath no one outside the home as any say-so about their conduct. 2. Copyright 1895 NEA Service. Incl

ClMe 8nQ HOW WlCH LHe rSVlVal of fluffy feminine outer gar. ments, victory is in sight.
 The practical Parisienne prefers the satin step-in over abbreviated pants of silk jer- sey for all-day wear. But the American visitor is going in again for clouds of lace and intricate embroidery effects on intimate garments, though slips, in the rare cases where they are bought separate from dresses, still rely upon fabric texture and delicate handiwork for elegance.
 The high note in lingerie, though, is the latest night gown. Into it's composition go the sheerest fabrics, the most ultra-ultra laces and the fin est workmanship. No more pajamas even for lounging for the woman who knows. With the nightgown goes a delicate negligee to match.
 When the lingerers< started ere ating nightgowns with cut and fin ish as perfect as in any dress. a handful of smart young society women living in hot climates de- cided that these were perfect to wear in the garden or when re- ceiving intimate friends. All that was needed was a long, plain sheath slip and the nightgown be came a feminine, attractive dinner or garden dress.
 The idea of having number of tailored, ,unadorned. nightdress- es to sleep in, to be discarded on awakening for a fresh satin robe completed by an attractive jacket or 'liseuse," as they are called here, in the same fabric or in taf- fetas, is another good French idea that deserves to be passed on.

 CHAPTER XLvII
 Men in New York subway trains folded their newspapers, read the headlines and shook their heads. Women in San Francisco mothers with sons of their own tread the same paragraphs and sighed. Middle-western farmers resting after the days work, looked up from their reading long enough to say, Its an outrage, that's what 1t Is. An outrage!
 And thousands of others, all over the country, repeated the words The death of Steve Meyers, the young silk mill employe who had died from injuries said to have been received when he was trying to defend himself from lawless thugs who had broken into a peace able meeting of mill workers stirred nationwide q indignation The young man, newspaper &C., counts pointed out, was the only support of a widowed mother, a steady, dependable workman. Moreover, there were charges that the ruffians who had clubbed Meyers so brutaHy had been paid by the mill management. Others who had attended the interrupted meeting, notably certain Joseph Gillaspie. gave graphic descriptions of what had happened.
 Editorials expressing protests were published. Sermons were preached. Cartoons championing the rights of the workers were drawn.
 And in Washington rotund man in . gray suit faced another, seat ed at a desk. The rotund man said, "Well, Chief. I'm off tonight. I was going to send Churchill, but I think it's better to go myself.
