hNE OF our readers asks us 10
" say a few words in memory
of the old swinging doors. How
dear TO my heart are the scenes
of my childhood-one of those
things.)
This, then. is for the elder
generation. The youngs ters
would not know about the
swinging doors, though if some
of them would examine fathers
features they might discover
lingering evidence of the san
culinary possibilities of the old
doors.
Swinging doors were COM
monty used by nearly all sa-
looms in the pre-prohibitlon
period. They were a pair of
short doors operating inward
and outward on springs and
opening in the middle. There
was considerable space above
and below the doors. That is, a
tall man, or woman, could look
over them and a child could
look under them by STOPPING a
little.
This was a distinct disadvan-
tage both ways. A wife could
peer over the doors and view
her old ever-loving husband
hung by the crook of his elbows
on the bar when he was sup
posed 10 be working overtime
on his Job. The child could peer
underneath and see the dotlng
parent and hasten home and re-
port him 10 mother. The conse-
quences in both cases were
sometimes disastrous 10 the
husband and parent.
PERSONALLY, we always

10 the saloon trade, too. 1t
made the other customers UNI
comfortable when they observed
a baleful orb cleaning at them
over the doors. They would stop
ordering and the bar business
would sag woefully.
We knew a lady back in our
home town Of Pueblo who would
90 along Santa Fe avenue and
Main street peeping over swing
ing doors until she spotted her
ever-loving and then she would
90 out in the middle OF the
street and pick up rocks and peg
them over the swinging doors
into the bar room with the gen.
eral idea of winging her mate.
Her accuracy in pcgging the
rocks through the space over the
doors was remarkable. but of
course after arriving inside the
bar room the missiles had no
sense of direction whatever and
sometimes they would cripple
the other customers and maybe
the bartender, too, besides dam
aging mirrors and glassware.
When she got hold of a rock
that was too big TO throw she
would give it a bowling alley
twist and roll it under the doors
and in that way she broke a lot
of prominent legs.
DUT we are pleased 10 record
- that her efforts were largely
responsible for a great civic

when she first began and there
was a lot of loose landscape

Rule Of Life
In z States
Texans and Californian:
Loyal TO Convictions
BY HUGH S. JOHNSON

TWO states in our Union were
Il once independent republics.
They left an imprint that still
remains. They are, of course,
Texas and California.
l have lived in both for years
and resided both north and
south of the Texas borders for
many more years.
The more frequently you leave
them for long periods of time
and then return, the more this
impression of state-consciousness
among the people is confirmed.
IN CALIFORNIA il goes TO the
l. clannish but understandable
extent of making you feel some
thing of an outlander if you are
not native son Of the Golden
West"
II isn't too easy 10 get a hold
of an important business job in
a California-controlled company
if you can't qualify in that
category.
Some JUSTIFICATION eXiStS.
California. especially south
ern California, attracted the
poor, deluded paper-wealthy or
well-to-do of the 1928 boom in
multitudes.
The depression wiped them
out and left that area with one
Of the heaviest relief loads in
the country.
The "native-son" prejudice be-
came stronger than ever. For
that and many other reasons
that state enjoys or. if you pre-
fer, is afflicted with. greater
state loyalty than any other, ex-
cept perhaps Texas. p

TEXAS pride and solidarity


tends TO become as 'Texican"
as the old,
No more cohesive group is TO
be found in Washington than
the Texas delegation" whether
in Congress or in the executive
departments.
Jesse Jones in the cabinet,
formerly Jack Garner as vice
president. with Tom Connally
in the Senate and Sam Rayburn,
speaker of the House. were as
strong a quadrumvirate as ever
was found in this government,
and they never forgot the state
song. The Eyes of Texas Are
Upon You"
Their unofficial associate,
Anon Carter. a Fort Worth
newspaper man by calling but a
citizen OF all states by avoca-
ton, acted as a sort OF cheer
leader and ambassador.
ACk GARNER has gone back
- TO Uvalde, but Jesse Jones
has accumulated so much addi-
tional power that Texas
strength in Washington is little
impaired.
Representatives of the three
great cities. Jesse Jones for
Houston, Anon Carter for Fort
Worth and a native coalition for
Dallas, may fight among them
selves, but 1t is a private family
row. from which outsiders
would do we'll to abstain.
When an interest of Texas is
concerned against any other in
terest they suddenly become one
for all and all for one.
THESE two great empires
Il for they are as large in area
and are becoming as rich in real
wealth as many important for
eign nations-are fully aware of
their advantage and do not
mean TO lose il.
BY authority Of the treaty Of
annexation. Texas could sub
divide herself into five states
and gain eight senator's.
Nobody believes she ever will.
The name and the institute Of
Texas have too much sentiment
tai and practical value.
Talk of California also divid-
ing herself into two states has
long been heard. Like Texas.
she is big enough and wealthy
enough 10 do il.
She also probably never will
even be tempted. California is
a symbol of something intangi-
BILE from the past of a senti-
mental value too strong for
even the politicians who would
multiply jobs and patronage by
such a move.
1t is probably all to the good.
These great states for all their
local pride are in the forefront
of national loyalty. Splitting
them up would simply increase
the cost of government and do
no earthly good.

CLEVELAND, April 5.-Declaring
"the important field of finance has
been ignored in our defense effort,
Theodore S. Watson, New York
banker-economist, today urged Gre
alton of a capital control board
with broad powers.
Watson cited the 1918 Capital
Issues Committee as precedent.
He said the new board should CO.
ordinate 'the financial phases Of our
economic planning during this emer-
gency and prepare for an orderly
return to peacetime economy while
preventing the "denuding" of Britain
of American securities.
President of Manhattan Railway
Co.. and partner in a former stock
exchange firm, Watson commented: ::
II feel that possibly the major
troubles which we in financial affairs
are having today come from the
habit of following leadership which
has not become attuned to the
times"
The New Yorker suggested to
Cleveland's City Club that private
investment bankers may be selling
British holdings primarily because
they are easy and profitable to SELL"
Such bankers, he held. may be
forcing our own corporations in the
future to use the Government as
their banker, thus destroying their
own future business and destroying
democratic traditions as we know
them"

The engineers, naturally, are
proud of the cars they turned out
for the current model year, even
though these vehicles could boast
few mechanical advances over last
years models. At the same time,
they are most emphatic in assert
ing that the use of as much "re-
placement" material as possible in
the coming models does not mean
the 1912 cars are to be less sturdy
or less comfortable of operation.
I'm the main," these experts as
sert, ''the changes will be manifest
principally in outward appearance
and even in that respect, the change
eliminating considerable glittering
metal may be an advantageous one" ;"
Cheapening Is Barred.
The thing the engineers and car
manufacturers generally would like
to impress upon the motoring pub
lie is that the use of substitute ma
terials in the 1912 models isn't 60
ing to make of them merely stop
gap" models until the emergency
has passed.
"As good as the 1941 model in all
respects and better in some phases"
is to be the 1912 model objective.
IF you have the idea that because
there has been talk about increased
use of plastics we are going to hang
lot of soft stuff on the outside of
the car, you're all wrong" said one
of the men working on next years
cars.
"The industry" he continued,
would rather quit making cars
entirely for an indefinite period
than to make an inferior vehicle:
it has too much at stake-and of
course you know there always will
be an automobile industry"

at the close were up slightly. The
rail group was down 2 of point on

Bridge Steel Costs
Higher in Virginia
IN the Associated Press.

Dy tUc hSSDClhlcu FTcSS.
RICHMOND, Va, April 5.-A
check of prices quoted by contractors
to the State Highway Department
disclosed today an increase of steel
for Virginia bridge building.
The prices averaged between s
and 7 cents a pound for structural
steel until about year ago when
they rose to an average of 7 to
10 cents.
Spokesman expressed the belief
that prices had risen because con-
tractors no longer were certain that
material would be available when
they begin work on contract
Other factors affecting price, they
said, were the number of bidders
the availability of labor and the
amount of fabrication involved in
making steel suited to q particular
job.
