rupture
Expert Here
c. F. Redlich, Minneapolis,
Minn., will demonstrate without
charge his unequalled method in
LAMPASAS
Monday, February 16
at the Wachen Hotel
from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m.
Mr. C. F. Redlich'says:
The “Perfect Retention Shields” hold
the rupture perfectly, no matter \vha+
position the body assumes or hov,
heavy a weight you lift. They give
instant relief and contract the open-
ing in a remarkably short time.
The secret of their success is m
their simplicity. An expertly adjusted
device seals the opening without dis-
comfort or detention from work. It
is practically everlasting, sanitary,
comfortable and actually holds rup-
tures which heretofore were consid-
ered uncontrollable.
Stomach troubles, backache and
constipation, nearly always a conse-
quence of rupture, promptly disap-
pear.
Bring your children. According to
■statistics 95% recover by our method.
NOTICE: All whom we have treat-
ed during the past ten years are in-
vited to come in for a free inspection.

LAW ON OFFICERS’ CLOTHES
DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL
SENTENCE IN TIPPEN
CASE IS SUSPENDED
AUSTIN, Feb. 5.—The court Y>f
criminal appeals, in an opinion giv-
■en by Judge Lattimore, held uncon-
stitutional the law forcing persons
making an arrest on a highway for
a traffic law violation to wear a pre-
scribed uniform.
Judge Lattimore ridiculed the law,
enacted by the last legislature, assert-
ing it was impracticable.
He pointed to the undesirability of
a law forcing an officer to go home
and don a garb of a certain color be-
fore he can arrest a law violator.
The opinion was written in affirm-
ing the case of J. C. Scoggin, sen-
tenced tO| one year’s imprisonment
from McCulloch county on a charge
of transporting whisky. Scoggin was
arrested for speeding by an officer
not in the prescribed uniform and the
search for whisky ensued.
The law provided, that a highway
traffic officer must wear a diamond
shaped badge, a cap, and a blue or
dark gray coat and trousers.
Lattimore said the law was uncon-
stitutional because it was an unwar-
ranted interference of the legislative
branch of government with the exec-
utive and deprived an officer of privi-
leges without due course of law.
The purpose of the law was to pre-
vent hijackers posing as officers from
stopping a motorist. Senator W. A.
Williamson of San Antonio, who spon-
sored the law, said he would endeavor
to have a new law enacted which
would be constitutional.
W. W. Tippen has returned to his
home at Lometa following the sus-
pending of sentences in two cases in
wliich he received eighteen month
sentences to be served concurrently.
Mr. Tippen formerly of Brownwood,
was convicted in federal court at Aus-
tin last week on charges growing out
of the closing of the First National
Bank of Lometa.
Following the petitioning of the
court by many of Mr. .Tippen’s friends
from Lometa the suspension of the
sentences \was granted. He is to re-
port once each month to D. H. Hart,
federal district clerk at Austin, it
was announced front here today.—
Brownwood Bulletin.
$760,000 ADDED FUND ASKED
FOR WACO HOSPITAL
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—A $760,-
000 addition to the new Texas vet-
erans bureau hospital soon to get un-
der ocnstruction at Waco was recom-
mended to congress today by General
Frank T. Hines, director of veterans
affairs.
Appearing before the senate fin-
ance committee, General Hines said
that an added $10,000,000 building pro-
gram of the bureau would include
$760,000 additional for the Waco in-
stitution. Already $1,200,000 has been
appropriated for the hospital by con-
gress and bids for its construction
will be opened here February 21.
The present site is adequate for any
necessary expansion. Plans for the
hospital are also such that the adi-
tions will be made without the neces-
sity of alterations.
While the hospital, as now planned,
is essentially for neuro-psychiatric
cases, the new funds will be used to
construct both ac&ditional facilities
for such cases and also general hos-
pitalization. Of the total, $360,000 will
be spent for the first and $400,000 for
the latter.
BE A PRACTICAL DREAMER
It generally pays to keep one’s
feet close to the ground—especially
when seking substantial support for
the erection of solid buildings. Even
air castles—those airy, fairy dreamy
flights of the imagination—should be
constructed upon sound thoughts, or
even as dreams they do not bring
the solace and comfort that they can.
Life, very largely, is a routine,
work-a-day affair, filled with trival
necessities—yet. containing the Big
Moment, the Tempestuous Thrill, the
Vagrant Vibration. We need the stim-
ulating thoughts, the enthusiastic aid,
and the steady impetus of others to
help us along the way; but we should
seek to remain practical in all things
—else even our air castle may be
plunged earthward, and crash about
our head.
We must not be like the two knights
of the road who, while walking along
a railroad track, found a bottle of
some enervating fluid—white mule.
One took a drink, then passed the
bottle to his comrade. They repeated
the gesture, until the bottle became
empty.
Soon after one of the errant knights
stuck out his chest and exclaimed,
“Say, Bill, tomorrow I’m going to
buy [all tyite railro&ds, automobiles,
steamships—everything in this coun-
try. What do you think of that?”
Bill turned a pitying gaze upon
his friend, and replied, “Impossible;
can’t do it.”
“Why not?” questioned the newly
turned financier.
“Because I won’t sell,” returned the
equally stimulated Bill.—The Birming-
ham (Mich.) Eccentric.
WOMAN SHOOTS MAN IN KNEE
FORT WORTH, Tex., Feb. 5.—A
woman private detective shot a man,
when the latter called for a fake
package of money in a private mail
box at the telephone company’s ware-
house Thursday afternoon. The man
grabbed the gun and struggled and in
the melee with other officers he fired.
Police Lieut. C. L. Green was wound-
ed in the finger.
The woman was Pauline Putnam,
assistant to Jim Griffin, a private de-
tective.
A Fort Worth woman, whose name
withheld by opilce, reported that for
the last several days she has been an-
noyed by a man whom she knows and
who dcfmanded that she give him
$10,000.
She employed Griffin, who took Po-
lice Lieutenant Green into his confi-
dence and the two coached the woman
in what to say during the next tele-
phone conversation.
Promises $5,000.
Wednesday, he called again, detec-
tives said, and the woman told him
she did not have $10,000, but that she
would give him $5,000. He threatened
her, she reported, and warned her to
have the remaining $5,000 in a week.
Another man called her Thursday
morning and instructed the woman to
leave the money in the warehouse
mail box and that a third man would
get it.
The fake package was prepared with
a $1 bill wrapped about a roll of news-
paper.
The woman placed itdn the box at
2 o’clock Thursday afternoon. The girl
was stationed in the vicinity, remain-
ing there under the pretex of hunt-
ing a job.
Across the street, Griffin and Green
were hiding.
Removes Package.
Shortly afterward a man approach-
ed, walked to the box and removed
the package.
Miss Putnam “covered” him with a
pistol. He started to grab her. She
fired and the bullet- struck his knee.
The man continued to struggle while
Griffin and the police officer ran
across the street to her assistance.
During the struggle the gun was
pointed toward the officers and dis-
charged.
Finally the man was overpowered
and taken to the police station for
questioning.
Later he was removed to the City-
County Hospital.
Miss Minnie Crawford returned
home Tuesday evening from Temple
where she has spent the past month.
Miss Crawford recently underwent an
operation in a hospital in that city and
is now progressing nicely toward re-
covery.

let them lay around and ruin. Bring
them in and we will pay cash.—Milli-

COMPETITION
It seems to us that everybody does
better in competition than he does
when there is no antagonist. The very
element of trying to beat somebody
makes you do better than you would
if there were nobody to beat. And
that brings us to this talk of crowd-
ed professions and callings. Don’t
worry too much about competition. It
brings out qualities you don’t know
you possess. Never be afraid of the
other fellow. The one to be afraid of
is yourself.—The American Boy.
Neighbor a Job
Look carefully about your own neighbor-
hood and you will realize that for every
person out of a job, there are eight or nine
©f your friends and neighbors working.
Now, if you eight or nine who are work-
ing will only get together and to the extent
you can afford it, give that one out of work
something to do, you will be contributing
the most helpful, constructive service possi-
ble toward breaking up unemployment.
For instance, there are plenty of ways,
right in your own home, of investing your
money in labor and materials, putting in
needed improvements, repairs, additions. • •
and doing these things under most favorable
circumstances. You are not wasting a penny.
You are putting idle money to work profit-
ably, productively, and patriotically—if it h
promptly done.
Suppose you talk this over with your em»
ployed neighbors and arrange right away to
divide between you the labor of a man or
two, for however long you can.
Your duty as a citizen
Be active in all community work which is
meeting present conditions. Let your Mayor
know you are behind him in all organized
action providing employment.
Your opportunity as an individual
Make all proper purchases possible. Give
employment by starting repairs, painting,
etc., which add to the value of your
property.
Jobs
‘ERE are 100 jobs.
Not all are prac-
tical at this time. But
give the jobs you can-
today—and add others
as soon as weather
permits.

WILL ROGERS RAISES
$29,868 IN OKLAHOMA
DURANT, Okla., Feb. 5.—With
$29,868 in the bag for Oklahoma’s
needy, Will Rogers turned today to
another college town, Stillwater, for
the first of three shows.
From Stillwater, Capt. (Frank
Hawks will pilot Rogers to Enid for
a matinee and thence to Ponca City
for an evening performance.
Drouth sufferers of the state may
look forward to about $70,000 as the
result of the humorist’s tour if he
maintains his average of raising about
$10,000 a day.
Last night Rogers told Southeast-
ern College students, who composed
most of his audience here, his views
on educational theories supposedly
held by Governor Murray.
“I'm here lobbying with Bill Mur-
ray to have the teachers’ salaries cut.
The governor wants to curtail edu-
cation. I think it should be abolish-
ed altogether.”

HOUSE APPROVES DEATH
PENALTY FOR KIDNAPING
AUSTIN, Feb. 5.—Texas, which has
no law at present covering all forms
of kidnaping, will have a law “with
teeth in it” if the senate and gover-
nor follow the lead of the house.
The house today approved a bill
by Representative Petsch of Freder-
icksburg making kidnaping punishable
by the death penalty. The minimum
sentence would be five years impris-
onment. The vote was 112 to five. An
amendment to eliminate the death pen-
alty maximum was defeated 90 to 23.
The bill will go into effect imme-
diately, if it gets by the senate and
the governor, since it carries an emer-
gency clause. It would apply to kid-
naping for robbery, extortion or ran-
Miss Page Gibson, who has been suf-
fering from an infection of the bone
on her right foot, was taken to
Temple Monday afternoon where she
will enter a hospital for treatment.
She was accompanied by her parents
from Bend.

ROAD BOARD RECOMMENDS
BUS MEASURE
AUSTIN, Feb. 5.—Stating that
great damage had been done to the
highways of Texas in the past few
months which might be attributed to
toq much weight now allowed ve-
hicles under the laws, the state high-
way commission today made recom-
mendations to the senate on the reg-
ulation of busses and trucks.
The report stated that there were
many highways in Texas which should
not carry more than a maximum
weight of 5,000 pounds. It stated that
other of the state’s highways could
easily carry 20,000 pounds.
It advocated passage of a law which
would give the highway commission
authority to classify highways under
its jurisdiction and the amount of
tonnage to be hauled over them. The
commission advocated a maximum
height of 12 feet for trucks and bus-
ses.
The maximum length of combined
vehicles should not be more than 45
feet, the commission said, and the
length of any single vehicle should
not exceed 30 feet, the report said.
The report said the highway com-
mission had advocated a maximum
width of 84 inches for such vehicles.
The commission recommended that
the maximum speed limit of a motor
bus be fixed at 35 miles per hour and
that of a ti’uck at from 20 to 30
miles per hour.
The commission recommended that
the penalty for violations of laws reg-
ulating size, weight, height and speed
of commercial vehicles be increased.
The commission also recommended
that “within a reasonable time the
use of solid or steel tires on motor
vehicles weighing more than 2000
pounds be prohibited.”

John F. Peeler spent the week end
in Austin. Mr. Peeler’s mission in.
Austin was to oppose the dry
cleaning bill that is to come before
the legislature Monday, Feb. 16. All
the local dry cleaning shops are
against the passage of the bill which
has to do with their equipment and
housing facilities.
