TWO CHIEF G. 0. P.
WORKERS INCLUDED
Weeks and Hays Selected as
Next War Secretary and
Postmaster General
By PHILIP KINSLEY.
Bjr Leased Wirp to The Houston I'ost.
LEXINGTON". K.v.. Feb 2S (En Route
Marion With Mr. Harding).—President-
Elect llnnling unbosomed himself of
three more cabinet selections Monday.
The$e arc John W. Weeks, secretary of
war; Will H. Hays, postmaster general;
Andrew W. Mellon, secretary of the
treasury.
This leaves only two places unfilled,
the interior department and the labor
portfolio. Senator A. B. Fall is prac-
tically certain to get the first post and
•lames J. Havis. Pittsburg, the second.
Mr. Harding, however, has reserved tin-
right to make changes, and said Monday
that the cabinet could not be considered
as definitely chosen.
Two Chief Party Workers.
In making the selection of Weeks and
Hays. .Mr. Harding has recognized two
of the chief workers in his party.
Mr. Weeks, former senator from Mass-
achusetts, was a member of the national
executive committee that engineered the
decisive policies of the campaign. He is
a graduate of Annapolis, and was a stu-
dent of military affairs while in con-
gress.
He conforms to Mr. Harding's de-
scription of the type of war secretary
he intended to appoint -a civilian inter-
ested in national defense and possessing
good working knowledge of army affairs.
Mr. Mellon, a banker of great wealth,
was "nominated" for this post by Sen-
ators Knox and Penrose. He has not
been a political figure and is regarded as
« man of great ability in the financ'al
field, with a keen vision as to the present
international complications.
To Confer With Wood.
General I/eonard Wood will me»t Mr.
Harding in Marion Tuesday to discuss
the governorship of the Philippine Is-
lands. General Wood has been offered
the position of provost of the University
of Pennsylvania at a high salary. Mr.
Harding will urge him to continue in the
public service as a duty at this time.
Mr. Harding has completed his in-
augural address. He rested happily on
his private car Monday. His address
will be short,, he said, not much over
words, and "will not contain any-
thing sensational."
It will* be a general review of his
guiding policies.
The first diplomatic appointments, he
said, would not be ready for about two
weeks, as the various governments must
he sounded out as to the men lie intends
to appoint.
Six Irishmen Executed
By British Military
Associated Press Keporc.
t'OKK. Feb. US—Despite the appeal
for clemency made recently by the Cork
corporation, the six Irishmen ir. jail
here, whose death was fixed for Mon-
day on charges of levying war against
the crown forces, were duly executed by
the military Monday morning. The men
were shot in batches of two each at in-
tervals of 1." minutes.
The men executed were Timothy Mc-
Carthy, Thoina; O'Brici:. Patrick Ma-
honey. John Lyons, Daniel Callaghan,
and John Allen.
The first five were condemned for an
attack upon the crown forces at Dripsey,
County Cork in January. Allen, whose
home was in Tipperary, was sentenced
for possessing a revolver and amunition.
It was his sentence which the king's
bench confirmed on February 24 in de-
ciding that a state of war existed in
Ireland.
In all the Catholic churches in Cork
Sunday prayers were said for the con-
demned men.
Spanish Speaking Bandits
Hold Up Lone Pedestrian
"Hands up, Senor!"
Complying with the demand Monday-
night at l):lu at a particularly dark spot
on Preston avenue, near La Branch
street, Pat Keneau was loser .$7J( in cash.
A thorough search of the neighborhood
was made by Officers Scearce and Mur-
doch as soon as the crime was made
known but the two highwaymen could not
be found. The police are positive of the
identity of one of the men and are sure
that lie has been held in custody here
before.
According to Mr. Heneau's statement,
he was walking along Preston avenue
on his way to escort his daughter home,
when a Mexican stepped in front of hint
and with two revolvers leveled, command-
ed him to throw up his hands. A second
individual then emerged from behind a
tree ami rifled his pockets. Both men
wore bandana handkerchiefs over their
chins, concealing the lower part of their
faces, but. Mr. Ileneau is confident that
he can easily identify them if caught.
"GREATEST" MEET
OPENS HERE FOR
TEXAS SHOEMEN
(Continued from Page One.)
rii m had been transformed into a city of
booths and shoes. It is estimated that
th^- cost of putting o.i the style show
will reach into several hundred thousands
of dollars. The booths and shoes alone
are said to be worth around $200,000.
The cost of bringing them here and
staging the show will cost much more.
Elaborate Layout of Booths.
In the parquet of tiie auditorium are
four rows of booths. A row on either
side of two aisles which extend the
length of the floor. There are eighty-
two booths in the parquet. Op. the stage

the St. Louis group which are very sim-
ilar to the group which took first prize
at the national convention in Milwaukee
in January. They are specially designed
by M. E. Gordon, who has charge of the
designing and assembling of all the
booths and decorations for the conven-
tion. It is said that the layout of booths
and decorations of the Houston conven-
tion can be compared on a favorable basis
with that of the national convention in
Milwaukee.
Wives of local shoemen saw to it that
the visiting ladies were afforded an abun-
dance of measure. In the afternoon they
went to the theater at the Majestic and
in the evening they attended a banquet

TEXAS is the "wonder state of the Union," with a wealth of resources
and opportunities that, as yet, have been hardly more than sensed by
the majority of her citizens. First, not only in area but also in the
production of cotton, in the value of crops, in the number of cattle and mules,
in the clip of Angora wool, in the number of cotton oil mills, and other products;
Texas produces sufficient raw material to be economically independent of the
rest of the country—if these raw materials were converted into finished prod-
ucts within her own borders.
v
Yet the real future of Texas lies ahead, for while thfcre are but 150,040
spindles and 3,865 looms in her cotton mills, more than one-fourth of the
cotton of the United States and nearly one-fifth of the world's cotton crop,
comes from Texas.
Contrast with this 14,000,000 spindles in the 822 cotton mills of four of the
cotton growing states whose combined cotton crop is but one and three-quarter
times that of Texas.
It needs no prophet to see that the future of Texas in this one industry is
rich with promise.
Because it believes in the progressive soundness of the people of Texas and
because it has faith in their constructive public spirit, this company has
established an office in the state in order to be better able to join with them in
the development of new industries, new public improvements, better trans-
portation facilities and new sources of power.
This company offers the services of an engineering organization which for
many years has devoted itself to industrial and commercial development of
the South, through the design and construction of textile mills; oil mils; flour
mills; warehouses; docks; factories; industrial housing operations; store,
office, school, hospital and apartment building; water supply and sewerage
systems; hydro-electric plants and steam power plants; modern highways and
railways.

Any soap will clean your skin—a bar of
laundry soap will do if you do not care
what becomes of your complexion. But
you know tliat laundry soap usually con-
tains harsh, drying alkali that would ruin
your skin and hair, so you never think of
using it for your toilet.
Poorly made toilet soaps contain this
same injurious chemical. Resinol Soap
has absolutely no free alkali, while to it is
added the Resinol medication, which phy-
sicians prescribe regularly for skin affec-
tions. This gives it soothing, cleansing
properties which improve the complexion,
protect tender skins from irritations, and
keep the hair rich, lustrous and free from
dandruff.
