HOUSE PASSES BILL TO
REDUCE DUST STORMS
AUSTIN, April 26.—Without dis-
cussion, the house today passed and
sent the senate a bill intended to
reduce the number of dust storms
originating in the Texas panhandle.
Senator Clint Small of Amarillo said
he would ask the senate state affairs
committee to make a favorable re-
port on the proposal at its next meet-
ing Tuesday night.
The bill originally called for re-
mission of state ad valorem taxes to
seven panhandle counties and partial
remission to three others but this
feature was eliminated by house com-
mittee.
The proposal would authorize prop-
erty taxpayers of a county to vote to
create a wind erosion conservation
district co-extensive with the coun-
ty’s boundaries. The county judge
and commissioners would compose
the governing body of the district
and formulate and carry out a con-
servation program.
A county which voted to create a
conservation district might use for
erosion control work 20 per cent of
its automobile registration fees and
any part of its revenue from special
road and bridge taxes. The govern-
ing body would assess part of the
cost of the program against land-
owners in proportion to the benefits
which they would receive, with as-
sessments to be paid in three annual
installments.
The district would be empowered
to “enter upon any lands in the dis-
trict for the purpose of treating same
to prevent the spread of soil erosion
and damage to other lands in such
district.” It also would have the au-
thority to seek to obtain loans and
grants from federal agencies.
BODY OF MISSING
CHILD DEAFMUTE IS
FOUND IN RIVER
CHICAGO, 111;, April 29.—Police
pursued an investigation of the death
of little Richard Max Perrot, 4, Mon-
day after his twenty-five day disap-
pearance was ended with recovery of
his battered body from the Chicago
river.
Sighted by a truck driver bobbing
in the north branch in the wake of a
motor launch, the body was identi-
fied quickly by the father, Max Per-
rot. The little deaf mute still was
clad in the green suit and leather
helmet he wore when last seen alive
April 4.
Though police thought the bruises
might be accounted for by the wash-
ing of the body against river pilings
during its long immersion, they were
fully satisfied that all suspicion of
external violence had been discounted.
Throughout the grim hunt in which
American Legion members, Boy
Scouts, school children and emergen-
cy watchmen had joined, police had
clung to a theory that the boy had
been the victim of a moron. His last
appearance was recorded as in the
company of a tall, thin man, leading
to the arrest of several suspects.
Though they generally swung to
the belief that the child had wander-
ed along the river, which is only a
block from the Perrot home, and had
fallen into the water, authorities re-
quested a thorough examination to
determine definitely whether there
had been foul play.
The father insisted, “I still think
my boy was a victim of a moron.
I’m going to continue the search for
his murderer.”

CENTENNIAL TOUR
STARTS MAY 5
DALLAS, April" 26.—Midnight, May
5, was set today as the departure
time for the Texas Press Associa-
tion’s special train, which will leave
Houston on a nine-day tour of the
southern states to advertise the Tex-
as Centennial of 1936.
Original date for departure of the
train, set for Thursday, April 25,
was postponed because of delay in
final passage of the Centennial ap-
propriation bill by the state legis-
lature.
The legislature yesterday sent the
$3,000,000 bill to Gov. Allred for his
signature.
The 125 boosters of next year’s
celebration who will make the trip
will visit New Orleans, Birming-
ham, Montgomery, Jacksonville, Sa-
vannah, Columbia, Raleigh, Washing-
ton, Charlotte, Atlanta, Chattanoo-
ga, Memphis and Little Rock.
President Roosevelt will receive
the Texas delegation May 11 at the
White House, where he will be given
a formal resolution of invitation to
the celebration which was adopted by
the Texas legislature.
GOVERNOR GRANTS
CLEMENCIES TO SIX
AUSTIN, April 25.—Governor All-
red Saturday granted five general
paroles and a furlough and revoked
one conditional pardon and one gen-
eral parole.
The following convicts received
paroles: Frank Stone, Wood county,
theft over $50, two years, convict-
ed May 26, 1934; Howard and Earl
Osborn, Dickens and Floyd, burglary
and theft, two years, convicted May
12, 1934 and June 11, 1934; George
Grace, Harris county negro, attempt-
ed attack, 40 years, convicted Dec.
20, 1918; and Add Braddix, Collin
county negro, murder, 99 years, con-
victed Nov. 4, 1922.
A 30 day furlough was given to
M. S. Boyer, serving a one-year sen-
tence from Potter county on convic-
tion of a liquor violation.
The governor revoked a pardon
granted in December to L. D. Fielder,
serving a two year sentence from
Stephens county for theft over $50.
Allred was informed that Fielder had
been indicted for driving while in-
toxicated.
The parole granted in 1933 to Cecil
Epps, serving a nine year sentence
from Harris county for felony theft
and concealing stolen property, was
revoked. The governor said he had
been advised that' Epps had violated
the terms of the parole.
Mrs. Edna Perry, who underwent
an operation the past week at the
local hospital, has been taken to the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Keith
Dawson. She is getting along nicely.
BILIOUS
Condition Needs Double
Action Treatment
Stimulation of liver bile flow is not enough
for complete relief, but combined with in-
testinal stimulation that relieves temporary
constipation, quick, soothing results are cer-
tiin. Herbine, a combination of herbs, com-
bines BOTH actions and so those dizzy,
headachy, indigestions, gas, rundown feelings
get relieved when both liver and bowels re-
turn to normal action. Get your bottle of
Herbine from druggists.

HIGHWAY FUND TO BE SOUGHT
DALLAS, April 26.—Harry Hines,
newly-appointed Texas highway com-
mission chairman, told business men
of north Texas at a dinner here to-
night that a grant of $100,000,000
will be sought from the federal gov-
ernment for improvement of Texas
highways in time for the Texas cen-
tennial next year.
Hines said he was contemplating
a trip to Washington within 30 days,
and that plans and specifications for
the expenditure of the money filling
gaps in main highways and elimin-
ating grade crossings, had already
been prepared by his department.
DUST PNEUMONIA EPIDEMIC
SWEEPS PANHANDLE
BEAVER, Okla., April 28.—Physi-
cians fought Sunday to save the lives
of more than a score of persons
stricken with dust pneumonia as fu-
neral arrangements were made for
three victims of the swirling clouds
which have swept the Panhandle for
two months.
A new storm of fine grayish silt
which blew into the Panhandle from
the south Saturday afternoon blew
back again early Sunday before a
cold north wind. Visibility in late
afternoon was nearly a mile. While
heavy downpours of rain drenched
other parts of the State the Pan-
handle told the same old story—
drouth and dust.
Funeral services were held Sun-
day for Mrs. Frank Ridgeway, 43,
farm wife, who was the first to die
of the dust ailment. No funeral ar-
rangements had been announced for
Leah Isaac, 7, of Turpin, who died
Friday night. Mrs. E. L. Fickel,
Beaver club woman, will be buried
Monday.
Twelve persons were in the sixteen-
bed Beaver hospital as doctors bat-
tled to save their lives. Hospital at-
tendants said there apparently was
little change in their condition Sun-
day. At least a dozen others were
seriously ill in their homes through-
out the Panhandle, either with lung
diseases caused directly by the dust
or from ailments aggravated by the
dirt clouds.
More than 300 persons in Beaver
County were believed suffering from
respiratory illness, a less serious dis-
ease than dust pneumonia.
One of the most critical cases in
the hospital is that of Miss Sadie
Bonendlust, a nurse, who was order-
ed to bed ten days ago by physicians
after she had cared for dust patients
for several weeks.
Beaver, in the extreme west part
of the Oklahoma Panhandle, has been
the center of the dust storms which
have raged in that section since
March 1. Physicians said the disease
is unlike the ordinary form of pneu-
monia. The three who died of its
effects breathed naturally until the
end and each was ill for several days
before death.
24-OUNCE BABY GIRL
ALIVE IN INCUBATOR
CHILDRESS, April 26.—A one and
half pound baby girl was being kept
alive here today by an incubator
fashioned at a relief sewing room.
Mi’s. E. W. Simms of Carey com-
munity gave birth to the baby yester-
day, and although its two-pound twin
died shortly after birth, it appeared
in excellent condition today.

L. H. S. DAY BY DAY
Memos of a school girl: Commence-
ment is already “in the air.” Even
the freshmen can feel it. Harry
Goodman was astonished when he
found “trig” class couldn’t be out-
done. Charles Bailey is very much
in demand as an artist.
The hardest thing to find is some-
thing you had but a moment ago.
Choral club is already learning songs
to be sung at baccalaureate sermon.
Katherine Gartman and Betty
Young have almost as much fun in
H. E. Ill as the little children do.
As Maui'ine Greeson would say,
“The senior’s invitations are simply
adorable.” Howell Gaddy and Ken-
neth Brown will tell you it’s advis-
able to keep your bathing suits on
after a swim—especially if it looks
as if it might rain.
The junior boys played good base-
ball when they beat the sophomores
14-5.
There was a general scramble for
clothes last Thursday among the girls
after swimming class. Some of the
sophomore boys must have raided
their sister’s make-up box as they
all appear to have some form of lip-
stick. Not so much because they
want red lips, but mainly because
they like to smear it on each other.
Mrs. Norris declared the seniors
intended to feed the juniors corn
bread and water, but they didn’t.
Bagatelles: Joe Harwell has learn-
ed to dance. Public speaking class
doesn’t like to memorize. School will
be out in four more weeks. Mr. Wa-
chendorfer is the busiest man in
school. Everyone likes to pick on
Roger LaBounty.
INDOOR BASEBALL
LEAGUE FORMED
An indoor baseball league has been
formed which is composed of teams
representing each of the four class-
es in high school.
The teams will play several games
among themselves, after which the
two teams having the highest per-
centage will play the best three
games out of five to determine the
winner.
Much interest is being taken in the
games. At present the juniors and
sophomores seem to have the best
teams; however, a wide open race
is expected and anything may hap-
pen.
Let’s be on hand at each game
and be ready to go when the umpire
says “play ball.”
WE WANT MONEY!
We want money! We need money!
This is the cry that is coming from
the senior class. They are in des-
perate need and may have to ask
relief from some source at any time.
If the seniors are to feed the en-
tire class, they are hoping that all
juniors do not have appetites as large
as Vivian Dickens, Nova Dell Gray
and James Spann, the kidnaped jun-
iors, who went on senior day.
“The more the merrier,” but don’t
worry juniors, the seniors will feed
you in grand southern style.
SPORTING SPORTS
Playground baseball seems to be
the only sport in the school of any
interest. Each of the classes have
organized a baseball team and are
playing against each other. The jun-
iors and sophomores seem to be the
best so far, as they have won one
game and lost one. The seniors and
freshmen have both lost one game,
but they still have a chance to come
back and win. The juniors are the
favorites, who boast a strong man
at every position, and are well bal-
anced.
Members of the senior team are
Thacher Gary, Eugene Bounds, Mar-
vin Dickason, William Piper, Luci-
ous Montgomery, Earl Lindsey, Thur-'
man Mulhollan and Lamar Hocker.
They do not have a full team and
use players from the other teams to
fill in.
Players on the junior team are
Auby Brown, Harry Goodman, Charles
Gillen, Lewis Jones, Maurice Feild,
Bub Perry, W. H. Berry, D. C. Mc-
Ever, Joe Herman, J. R. Watson,
Nathan Waldrop, Melton Lee Briggs,
and W. A. Butts. A number of the
other juniors are not listed. They
easily have enough for three teams.
Members of the sophomore team
are Roy Sewell, Jack Smithwick,
James Berry, Parker Patterson, Jor-
dan Wolf, Harry Perry, Buster Al-
len, Herman Garner, Earnest Mont-
gomery, Odean Hammett, Geoi’ge
Taylor, Leslie Landrum and Chester
Warren.
Membei’s of the freshman team
are, Delbert Morgan, Hoffman Pal-
mer, Wayman White, Filly Bales;,
David Goodman, Frank Alexander,
Carl Bane, Robert Cook, John Sulli-
van, Van Dyke Gillen, Thurman
Burns, Hoffman Hendrix and Edwin
Witten.
HAVE THEY DRUNK TOO MUCH?
Have the H. E. Ill girls drunk too
much water from the pool of youth?
Something has happened.
Marie Yarbrough brought her doll
to school the other day and took it
to class with her when she went to
H. E.
Doris Smart evidently did not like
dolls so she brought a little red car
and a bright colored ball.
Rosalie Martin was exhibiting cray-
olas, a top, and some mai’bles which
she had in a little can. She said
they made a pretty noise when you
shook them.
Norma L. Irvine was seen with a
large ball and was heard complaining
because her doll’s head was broken
and she couldn’t bring it.
If you would investigate the situa-
tion, you would probably discover
that those girls were only bringing-
toys for their nursery school.
THE ALLEY CAT
Just a bit of this and that gath-
ered from all the trash cans (gossip
to you) of old L. H. S. Bub Perry
has been slumming! Yes, even to the
extent of candy! Who’s the brown-
eyed junior “gal” I saw Jack Smith-
wick with the other night. The “H.
L.” on Nel Jo Hastings’ note book
tells more than what is written there,
if you know what I mean.
Believe it or not, “Doc” Lindsey can
“pick ’em.” That girl he was with
the other night has the prettiest
pink cheeks.
Well, Marie Morgan has a nice re-
minder of the Home Economics slum-
ber party the night before. By the
way, the said party was quite a suc-
cess. That solemn-faced (?) post
graduate, Kathryn Harkey, graced
the occasion with her presence by re-
tiring promptly after the midnight
feast, and snoo'zing peacefully (?)
between bites of ice and the free-
for-alls.

FLORINE ALLISON IMPROV-
ING AFTER ACCIDENT
SENIORS PLAN FUTURE
Florine Allison, secretary to Supt.
Wachendorfer, who was injured in a
car accident about three weeks ago
is still absent from school.
She has retui’ned home from the
hospital and her condition is improv-
ing. The L. H. S. students are glad
to know she is improving for they
miss her cheerfulness in the office
The faculty and the student body
hope she will be able to return, to
school soon.
SPRING FOOTBALL
TRAINING ENDS
Coach Moore announced Tuesday
afternoon that there would be no
more spring football training this
year.
There were only three weeks of
training this year.
It was also announced that a base-
ball team would be formed and that

H. E. Ill GIRLS CONDUCT
NURSERY SCHOOL
All the senior class “has been look-
ing forward to graduation and these
are some of their future plans.
Maggie Jo Flanagan is going to
John Tarleton. Lamar Hocker plans
to study for the ministry at T. C. U.

school. Each day from 2 until 3 the
children come and play under the
supervision of the girls. In their
play the class is to pick out exam-
ples of initiative, cooperative play,
imitation, dramatic) play, Construc-
tive play and self-pi’eservation.
The following children have at-
tended: Don and Joe Peak, Mary
Kuhn Rowntree, Franklin Stokes,
Fannie Mae Hunter, Asa Franklin
and Melton Avant, Leroy Hammock,
A. C. Perry, Louise Mayes and Helen
Marie Smith.
“BABIES MUST PLAY” EVEN
IN HIGH SCHOOL
“Vivian,•"'if you must be childish,
please play away from my window.”
What did those words mean? No
one knew, so Mrs. Norris’ English
III class rushed to the window.
There they saw Vivian Dickens (in
her second childhood) riding a tri-
cycle up and down the sidewalk.
H. E. Ill girls are studying child
care and training, and Vivian bor-
rowed a small child’s tricycle to take
a ride.
ir-ti
PLANS BEING MADE FOR

have caused it.”
Mr. Park: “By what is Australia
bounded, Eugene?”
Eugene Bounds: “Kangaroos.”

“Count five threads, under, pull
thread over-under, and pull tight.”
With needle, material and this for-
mula the H. E. girls are learning to
hand-hemstitch.
