1t is a fascinating observation for
one interested in the origin of any
Commonwealth, that modern Texas
has been built and has fiourished
upon romance. Its beginnings, his
torical or industrial, have sprung from
colorful and picturesque events: its
heroes Moses Austin, Sam Houston,
Davy Crockett-all led story-book
lives. Such prosaic and necessary
evidences of progress as railroads owe
their origin in Texas to the hundreds
of thousands of longhorns who we're
driven to market over the famous
Chisholm, Goodnight and Dawson cat
| tie trails by early cowboys of the
plains. These old trails later marked
the lines of the tracks and it was
not long before all parts of the State
were accessible by rail.
WHAT more spectacular, likewise,
than the oil industry. with its
stories of febulouS and sudden wealth
and the glamour that attaches TO
any outpouring of natures riches in
/ quarters in need of her bounty? To-
day the oil and gas industries in
Texas bring in many millions Of
dollars annually to the State and fur

THESE two stirring events in Texas
history. the Alamo and San
Jacinto. have been immortalized by
H. A. McArdle, father of Ruskin Nc
Ardle, who is librarian Of the United
States Senate in the Capitol in Wash
ington, in battle canvases that now
hang in the Capitol in Austin. These
paintings-"Dawn at the Alamo" and
"The Battle Of San Jacinto"-are
remarkable in that the artist spent
25 years in completing them because
ir his fidelity to detail he reproduced
a veraciouS record, even to the phys
iognamy of the fighters themselves
and to the last minutiae of a uniform
button, in the manner of the great
French masters of detail in martial
canvases, Meissonier, Neuville and
Detaille.
These outstanding historic events
Texas will celebrate as part Of her
centennial year, in dramatizations of
the variegated story of q common
wealth that has existed under six
f1ags-the flag of France, from 1885
to 1857; the flag of Spain, supreme
from the discovery Of Texas in 1928
by Cabeza de Vaca, to 1921, despite
the brief history Of the French colony
under de Sieur de Ia Sale; the flag
of Mexico, from 1921 to 1896. a period
that has been termed the period of
Americanization";; the Lone Star"
flag of the Republic of Texas; the flag
of the United States from l846 to
1861, when the Stars and Stripes was
replaced by the nag of the Confederate
States, with l66 votes cast in conven-
ton in Austin for secession and 2
against. Since April 8, 1865. with the
surrender Of Lee at Appomatox Court
House, the Stars and Stripes have
flown over Texas.
In connection with memorial events,
the State of Texas is spending a good
portion Of its centennial funds to put
through comprehensive program for
marking historical sites. Dozens of
statues Of Texas heroes will be un-
veiled in communities most closely as
Sociated with the events that distin-
guished them, and scores of bronze
and stone memorials will be erected
on suitable sites; historical markers
and tablets will be set up.
A T THE height of the Texas Spring,
next month, the anniversary Of
the Battle Of San Jacinto will be cele-
brated with central observance in
Houston. The city has planned for a
To-day program, including numerous
civic pageants, a eucharistic congress
for Texas Roman Catholics, grand
ball in the streets in front of the old
Capitol site on the night Of April 20
and the dedication of the battlefield
memorial on the 21st. Meanwhile. on
March 20, South and East Texas will
meet to commemorate with local
pageants and services the Goliad mas

ing, in order to be ready for the open
ing date. The gateway to the ex-
position will be constructed by the
park board at cost of $4,000. The
central motif of the main entrance
will be the 85-foot tower with a huge
Illuminated Lone Star near the top.
Smaller entrances will be built on
boundary streets.
Representatives of the agriculture
division of the exposition are now
combing $4,000 farms in Texas 254
counties to obtain outstanding ex-
hibits. More than $50 varieties of
prime crops will be displayed in the
farm center of the exposition. Moth
ing, we are promised, will be over
looked in this exposition that is CAL
culated to bring the most charming
aspects Of Texas life and traditions
to the attention Of visitors.
Fort Worths frontier show will
vie with the Dallas fair grounds. Spe-
cial trains and chartered buses will
help bring in the visitors. Tentative
plans for buildings to be constructed
include an auditorium and exhibit
building on the fair grounds, Mex
ican village, an Indian encampment, a
replica of an old Army post and
frontier main street and an open-air
ampitheater where wild West shows
will be staged. The town will be
picturesque with the general use of
frontier styles throughout the period.
THE centennial year observances
happily coincide with the compile
ton of an ambitious highway-build-
ing program that has been under way
for Is years. There are long dis
tances in Texas-900 miles from El
Paso to Texarkana. yet during the
last two years final gaps in road
surfaces between regional centers in
Texas have been paved, so that CEN
tennial visitors will be able to trav-
erse the State without difficulty.
There has always been a glamor
about Texas, quite aside from its ro-
mantle history, that has had to do
with its "bigness." Everything about
the State, from its broad-rimmed hats
to its longhorns, from its grapefruit
to its billiards. has been the biggest
of its kind. Perhaps 265.0o0 square
miles of territory has contributed to
this conception. Consider that, living
in Texarkana, it would be nearer for
you to visit relatives in Chicago or

~ DWARD SMALL, vice preSi-
- dent Of Reliance Pictures and
chief of productions for that
company, has found a way of
broadening the scope of the search for
new faces and cutting down the ex-
pense Of screen tests in a single step.
The producer urges the use of 10
millimeter film in the making of tests
outside of Hollywood. The 16-milli-
meter film, now in use by both anna
teurs and professionals throughout the
world. will permit producers to go far
afield for their new talent, he claims
THE average sound test now costs
81 1,000," says Small "A silent test runs
in the neighborhood Of $3.50. This is
no small sum to spend on the chance
of finding one possible screen actor
among thousands.
1.-THE professional cameraman and a
great number of amateurs, using
16-millimeter camera and simple light
ing equipment, can make an excellent
silent test for only $3.50. This is the
cost Of so feet of film, equal in length
to 300 feet of the standard size used
in commercial motion pictures.
IF, on viewing such a test, the
producer sees that the candidate pho
tographs well, a photographic record
of the voice can be made. If this re-
cords well, then the more expensive
sound test can be made. On the other
hand, if the candidate shows nothing,
the produced has spent only $3.50 on
the experiment"
Small sees an almost unlimited field
for the trial of new screen talent by
the introduction of the 16-millimeter
test.
1.-THE adoption of this testing meth
od," he says, will permit Hollywood
studio to send a travelling scout to
every section of the United States and
Canada. 1t will allow penetration, with
a minimum of trouble and expense,
into the thousands of little theater
and amateur groups, thus keeping a
constantly fresh supply Of talent f1ow-
ing into the Hollywood studios.
ALSO, we can more easily study the
possibilities In our own back yards
among the extra players who never get

Of the greatest activity. and work Is
being rushed to completion for the
opening date, June 6. The President
of the United States, according to
present plans, will attend the opening
ceremonies, and he was recently in

Federal building in San Antonio on
that occasion. Other dignitaries here
and abroad are including Dallas in
their itineraries for 1886, as well as
thousands of Texans or those inter-
ested in Texas, who now live in all
corners Of the United States. Texas
is spending more than S25 900 900 on
its celebrations, and this is but the
beginning Of the story.
THE Federal Government is con-
tributing three millions under the
Connally-Sheppard joint resolution
reported favorably by the Senate Com
mittee on Library; private funds, the
coin campaign and contributions of
$4,000, 900 from Dallas and other
Texas communities, have swelled the
surI until it would be difficult. indeed,
to compute the material expenditure
involved. BY February l6 Dallas had
retired its bonds in the amount of

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-In the 1888 Slough of
w DeSpond and Valley of Despair, thunderous
cry arose: Prices too low" The dollar bought
too much. The farmer had to pay two pigs to dis
charge $40 debt he had contracted when one
porker enough to pay it.
That fine for workers on wages and salaries
They got fewer dollars per week, but the pay en-
velope bought more pork and other necessaries.
But everybody was in distress and workers didn't
kick much at program that promised to raise
prices and at the same time to raise wages
But how was the Administration going to
raise prices? 1t didn't know at first but about six
of the dollar, by fat (cutting it's gold contenD by
credit imitation (making money cheap by filling the
banks full of government bonds for unrestrained
spendng), and by giving money away by billions"
THAT was all outright violation of a solemn
promise, but prices went up Farmers we're
pleased but housewives began to wall. Consumers
complained and workers realized that, however good
this might be for farmers, it was crucifying them
The 1888 cry is reversed. It is Prices are
too high" The only way to recovery is increased
consumption through lower prices (Brookings)
Workers oppose imitation william Green Farm
ers and workers unitel Raise prices and restore
prosperity by printing money" Che Coughinites and
other ites).
Farmers and workers can't unite on this question
of imitation. They essentially opposed as
plus and mnus-as fire and water.
The worker wants high wages and low food prices
The farmer wants high food prices and low prices
for manufactured goods-which means low wages
The Administration is between the devil and the
deep sea and every passing day will make its
dilemma clearer and more dangerous.

THE PURSUER." by Louis Golding. is a dark
tale Of fear and madness, singular in that. al
though it fails to be convincing it does possess
force which keeps you reading it.
1t deals with two Englishmen who had been bow
hood enemies. Their enmity had the slightest sort
OF basis; one of them chased frightened. and hui
inflated the other in some boyhood game But II
persisted and grew with the years until by the time
they were grown each hated the other with hatred
which was as real and overwhelming as it was UNI
reasonable
Finally out of pure. Iago-like vainy one Of
them eloped with the others wife; and from that
moment the victim planned murder as revenge
His chance came, at last. He killed his foe and
fed; and then his hatred turned backward and be-
came an insane fear
Now all this, as l say. doesn't carry conviction
with it, You find yourself thinking every so often
that all this tange of fear and hate is insuffcienty
motivated And yet. somehow, you do keep read
ing it. (By Bruce Catton)
