taken over the redistribution Of toys
for newspapers and others gathering
Christmas gifts for the boys and girls
of Washington, it was announced yes
terday, with the exception Of some
distribution done through the Public
Fairgrounds Department.
Even in the case of the Playground
Department, the Community Chest
still plays an indirect part in the dis
tribution by making use Of the Social
Service Exchange in checking up the
lists Of children who apply for toys.
This provides the widest use made Of
the toys provided by kind-hearted
Washingtonians.

tions in the city giving bags or other

SAN JOSE, Calf, December
21.-Frank E. Hnat has a sweet
heart in Czechoslovakia whom
he would like to marry over
long distance telephone - but
how and where?
District Attorney Fred l.
Thomas informed him today that
such a marriage is not legal in
California. Hnat, declaring 1t
would require 10 years to get the
girl into the United States under
limited immigration quotas, said
he would try to have the we'd
ding in Reno, New.
There District Attorney Ernest
S. Brown promptly said "a mere
telephone conversation is not
sufficient proof of the assent Of
the parties to the contract.
Hnat was q bit downcast to-
night-but he still thinks it's a
good idea.

the growing disposition among the

From time irnmemorial the soldier
and his horse have been inseparable
companions. While the Army horse
man has no jurisdiction over civilian
riders, he does have an instructive
love for all horses in general and
saddle horses in particular. He has
spent years of careful study on their
feeding, training and care. His in

Riding sidesaddle, Army officers
explain, may be very quaint and

Hears Effects
OF Amendrne nts

Thorough explanations, without
recommendations. Of the seven
constitutional amendments TO be
voted upon Saturday were given at
a meeting OF the Brownsville Town
send club at the courthouse Mon
day night. Approximately $50 men,
bers OF the organization attended
the session.
". O. Cofer. attorney. detailed
plans Of the proposed amendment
which would authorize the legisla-
ture to provide old age pensions I'D
to O maximum Of SIS per month.
This plan viii dove-tail with a
similar federal plan under which
the y. :. government will match the
amounts expended. by the state.
Ralph T. Agar, Cameron county
assessor collector, explained the
sixth and seventh amendments.
The sixth proposes to abolish the
fee method OF compensating district
and county officers in counties with
populations Of 10000 and over.
The salaries 10 be paid would be
established by the legislature. At
present these officers earn their
compensation through fees UP to
maximunS established by the iegis-
lature.
1T is q question IN my mind"
Agar said, which system would be
to the best interest Of the tax pay
ers Of the county.
Under the fee system q man Is
encouraged to do his duty and TO
work harder. The maximum an Of
ficer may retain Is set by law, and
all over this amount is turned over
to the general fund. Under the
present fee system the office hold
or is forced to earn his salary. II
we put them On q salary basis they
might have no incentive TO work"
Agar also explained the amend
ment entitled: amendment

fetal text books free 10 every child
Of scholastic age attending any
school within the state" This Is
the amendment said to contain

ment might Be paid On q basis Of
