CAMP MIRIAM NEWS
By Lieut. Carl O. Hagman,
Camp Publicity Officer
PLAN ON CHILD LABOR BEATEN
Construction of the new
quarters will start Tuesday, local
labor will be used throughout and all
materials will be bought in Lam-
pasas. The construction consists of
eight buildings, five barrack build-
ings, 20x120 feet each; a recreation
and office building, 20x100 feet; of-
ficers quarters, 20x60 feet and an in-
firmary 20x50 feet. With the nights
getting cooler, the boys are all anxi-
ous to get in the new buildings which
are expected to be completed within
a month.
The following interesting news
item was carried in this week’s issue
of “Chips” Texas District CCC pa-
per:
“Lampasas- Blanco Fight Night,
Exclusive Ringside Broadcast (Capt.
John L. Pierce, 9th Infantry, Special
Correspondent).
“Ringside, Camp Crist, Blanco,
Oct. 4. With thousands of cheering
fans surrounding the ring here at
Camp Crist, it looks as though Madi-
son Square Garden had descended on
Blanco tonight. Lampasas, led by
its mayor, is here in force to see
Capt. J. E. Brannan’s fistic experts
mix it with Capt. J. J. Canella’s
heavy sluggers. All of Blanco Coun-
ty seems to be here to back the loeal
camp which is its pride and joy.
There are fight fans from Austin,
from San Antonio and points be-
tween.
There’s the gong. Just watch
those boys go to it. Biff, bang boom!
Can they take it? I’ll say they can,
and how. No stalling in these fights follows:

AUSTIN, Oct. 9.—The State of
Texas through its legislature today
winter j rejected for the third time the pro-
posed child labor amendment to the
Federal constitution. The ratification
resolution failed of adoption in the
senate, 9 to 16, with one pair, after
the house had approved it.
The senate vote was taken after
many hours of debate. Discussion
was started Saturday and resumed
when the body convened this morn-
ing. Supporters of the amendment
argued that its adoption was neces-
sary to give adequate protection to
the child and to put States which
minimized child labor on an equal
footing with those which did not.
Opponents countered with assertions
that it was violative of the prin-
ciple of “states rights” and that any
child labor law enacted by congress
would discriminate against “the ag-
ricultural South” in favor of the “in-
dustrial North and East.”
Fifteen States have ratified the
amendment, which was submitted in
1924. In order for it to become ef-
fective it must be ratified by majori-
ties of both houses of the legislatures
of 36 states. The Texas house had
approved the amendment by a vote
of 79 to 45. The amendment would
empower congress to regulate, limit
or prohibit the labor of children un-
der 18 years, old. The Texas legis-
lature’s action became final for this
session when the senate, by a vote
of 14 to 11 with one pair, defeated a
motion to reconsider the vote by which
the resolution failed of adoption.
The vote on ratification was as
Ayes—Senators E. J. Blackert of
Victoria, Arthur P.- Duggan, of Little-
field, Margie E. Neal of Carthage,
Will D. Price of Tyler, George C. Purl
of Dallas, Frank B. Rawlings of Fort
Worth, Roy Sanderford of Belton,
Clint C. Small of Amarillo and H.
Grady Woodruff of Decatur.

“There are but two ways of treat-

■“The great bulwark against can-
cer . is early diagnosis. Every case
is an emergency and it is unfortun-
ate that the majority of those with
cancer do not seek medical advice un-
til .beyond a permanent cure. No
hope should be placed in fake cancer
prophets and their treatments. Ra-
ther, the annual physical examina-
tion and an immediate reporting to
your physician of any . symptoms
which may be suspected to be the
beginning of cancer, should be re-
lied upon. These symptoms are: Any
unusual bleeding from any body open- j
Ing, any lump in the breast or other j
part of the body, an persistent sore,!
particularly on the face or mouth, and
chronic indigestion. These conditions
may not be cancer, but sometimes
they are forerunners of the more
•common types of this disease. Where
cancer is suspected, do not delay, but
consult your physician at once.”
GENESIS DEPOSED
IN MODERN BIBLE
CHICAGO, 111., Oct. 8.—A new ar-
rangement of the Bible, with Gene-
sis somewhere near the middle, will
make its appearance Monday from
the University of Chicago Press.
The edition, to be known as the
short Bible, was edited by Prof. Ed-
gar Johnson Goodspeed and Prof. J.
M. P. Smith, both of the university.
It will contain 546 pages compared
with the 2,000 of the standard ver-
sions.
The books are arranged in the or-
der in which some modern biblical
scholars believe they were written.
Genesis, the traditional first book of
the St. James version, is the six-
teenth book in the short Bible, with
the Book of Amos first.
In form the new work will appear1
much the same as other books, with
dialogue set in quotation marks.
Some of the books not in the short
Bible are Chronicles, the Song of
Solomon, Lamentations, Obadiah, Mal-
ac hi, II Peter and III John and Jude.
The two editors also issued the
American translation of the Bible
which two years ago caused much
discussion.
for participating in the $200,000 kid-
naping of Charles F. Urschel.
Guarded by 10 heavily armed of-
ficers, the desperadoes were flown
from Oklahoma City in a tri-motor -
ed cabin plane and rushed by armor-
ed car from the Fort Leavenworth
military flying field to the prison
annex.
“Well,” said Bailey, surveying the
mass of concrete and steel, “those
walls look pretty high for me to get
over.”
It was almost a home coming for
the grey-haired machine gunner who
was convicted of plotting the abduc-
tion of Urschel.
Eight miles away stands the Kan-
sas . state penitentiary, from which
Bailey led 11 convicts in a spectac-
ular break Memorial day. He had
served 10 months there of a 10 to 50
year sentence for a Fort Scott, Kan-
sas bank robbery.
Bates, one of the two men who
kidnaped Urschel, wealthy Oklahoma
City oil operator, from his home the
night of July 22, was an escaped
Michigan convict.
Their guards, except for the two
United States marshals, dropped
away with delivery of the outlaws at
the prison gates. Prison regulations
forbid the carrying in of outside fire-
arms.
COLLEGE STATION, Oct. 8.—
More than $15,000,000 has found its
way into the empty pocekts of Texas
cotton farmers in return for their
j support of the government’s cotton
i acreage reduction campaign this
summer, a survey revealed Saturday.
H. P. Williamson, vice director of
the A. & M. College extension ser-
vice, announced that on the basis of
necessarily incomplete reports, 96,-
994 growers had received checks to-
taling $15,237,205 and if the present
rate of payment continued the na-
tion’s largest cotton producing state
would receive approximately £37,-
000,000.
Those growers who already have
been paid live in 177 of the 225 coun-
ties in which reduction contracts were
signed. In those counties, 220,515
farmers signed agreements and 44
per cent have now been reimbursed.
Final figures on the Texas cotton
plowup campaign, announced in full
for the first time, showed that 250,-
490 contracts, representing about
300,000 farmers were signed.
The total area plowed up was 4,-
363,206 acres, with an estimated av-
erage yield in midsummer of 163
pounds of lint an acre. The total
cottort acreage' of farmers signing
contracts was 11,889,940 and figures
indicated that the average plowup
was 36 per cent of the total crop.

disc plow, poultry wire, sheet iron

ROOSEVELT ACTS TO
GUARANTEE 10c COTTON
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—President
Roosevelt announced Friday a com-
modity credit corporation would be
created immediately with an initial
capital stock of $3,000,000 with au-
thority to borrow from the Recon-
struction corporation and to lend
funds on the security of commodities.
The president said the first duty
of the corporation would be to carry
out the pledge to loan farmers 10
cents a pound on cotton in an effort
to raise cotton prices and increase
farm purchasing power.

FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct.
A gigantic theft ring, active through-
out Texas, was believed by officers
to have been broken up Thursday

of whom were taken in custody in
Fort Worth.
Loot worth $10,000 has been recov-

The loans will bear interest at 4

means that only the present growing
crop will be eligible for the loans and
not surpluses in warehouses.
Farmers must agree to rent 40 per

be eligible for loans.

CAR ROLLS 200 FEET
DOWN MOUNTAIN AND
IS STRUCK BY TRAIN
ADA, Okla., Oct. 8.—Col. Zack
Miller of the 101 Ranch, last survivor
of the family of pioneers who found-
ed the Inland Empire, was injured
near here Saturday in an automobile
mishap—the cause of the death of
his brothers, George L. and Joe C.
Miller.
The plainsman was badly shaken
up when the car in which he and Fred
Olmstead, a business associate, were
riding left the highway and overturn-
ed in a ditch after a rear tire blew
out. Miller was brought to a hospital
here by a passing motorist.
SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 8.—Afrer
rolling 200 feet down a mountain-
side, killing the driver, the automo-
bile of Samuel A. Hinton, 38, Spo-
kane, was demolished by a railroad
train near St. Maries, Idaho.
Hinton was believed to have been
killed before the automobile landed,
bottomside up, on the tracks of the
Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and
Pacific railroad. Two hours later
the train crashed into the wreckage
hurling the car and the body 18 feet.
SUPREME COURT TO
DECIDE IF SUNSTROKE
DEATH IS ACCIDENT
Mrs. C. E. Roark returned Sunday
to her home in Dalhart, after spend-
ing the past three weeks here with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. Hocker.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—The Su-
preme Court Monday agreed to de-
cide whether dfeath on golf links
from sunstroke is accidental.
The question was raised in a case
from Tennessee brought by Florence
S. Landress, seeking to collect double
indemnity under two life insurance
policies carried by her late husband,
Thomas L. Landress.
The two insurance companies paid
the widow the straight life insurance
of $10,000 and $5,000 respectively,
and were sustained by the Federal
District Court at Chattanooga, which
held that death from heat under such
circumstances was not caused by ac-
cident.
The decision was affirmed by the
Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, which
attributed the death to the volun-
tary conduct of Landress.
Fort Worth and Dallas were the
thieves’, markets of Texas, officers
declared. Wares stolen in all parts
of the State were disposed of here.
But the system had interstate ram-
ifications, extending to Kansas City
and St. Louis, where the commodi-
ties too hot to be sold in Texas were
sent, the authorities stated.
Members of the O. D. Stevens gang
are alleged to have been in the theft
ring, whose activities have extended
over many months. Stevens is now
in the Tarrant County jail under three
charges of murder as well as Federal
accusations in connection with mail
robbery and possession of narcotics.
One of the men in custody, accord-
ing to the officers, on a salary of $18
a week maintained an automobile, a
Lake Worth cottage, a motorboat and
an apartment where some twenty
pairs of shoes and nearly as many
suits of clothes were found.
Officers working on the case, be-
sides Ranger Sergeant Osoba, include
Rangers Branom of Fort Worth, Cra-
ven and Todd of Waco, Detectives
Howerton and Harris of Fort Worth
and Detectives Bullock and Wamack
of Dallas.
BUFFALO, Oct. 8.—A rteteran
Buffalo physician and yachtsman is
getting ready to embark on his first
sea voyage in 70 years, and perhaps
the greatest adventure of his long
life.
He is Dr. Elisha P. Hussey, prac-
ticing physician for 57 years, now 87
years of age, but brisk, strong, vigor-
ous and keen—especially keen for
the voyage that lies ahead of him—•
down the coast in the 35-foot ketch,
Falcon, to the Caribbean Sea.
He plans to start early Monday
morning, or possibly Tuesday morn-
ing, going by way of the barge canal .
and the Hudson River to New York,
and thence coastwise to the Chesa-
peake Bay and so on south through
an inside channel to Miami, around
the end of the Florida peninsula, per-
haps north and west in the Gulf of
Mexico as far as Pensacola, and then
—again perhaps—visiting several of
the West Indies before starting home.
With Dr. Hussey, skipper of the
Falcon, will go two other Buffalo
residents, John Johnson, Buffalo
vatchtsman with considerable ocean
sailing experience, who will be navi-
gator, and Mrs. Emma Gundlach, whor
will do the cooking but will rate the
title of “die.ieian.”
Dr. Hussey, former commodore , of
the Buffalo Yacht Club, sailed the
seas as a boy and youth with his
father, who was a sea captain in the
days of sailing vessels But when
he became a physician at an inland
port, his sailing was limited, perforce,
to inland waters. He has sailed the
lakes for years, however, ana is in
every way a competent sailor.
“There’s nothing to worry about
with my boat,” he said. “This boat
I have will ride any storm like a
corked bottle.”
WESTBROOK GIVEN

AUSTIN, Oct. 2.—The senate to-

mission. No action was taken on the

Leader’s Job Printing Beat—Try Rl
GIANTS EACH GET
$4600; CUT SMALLEST
SINCE 1922 SERIES
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—World
Series players this year will divide
the smallest pool since 1922. The
players’ popl, made up from the
gate receipts of the first four games,
amounted to $284,665.68, failing to
pass the $300,000 mark for the first
time in years.
Since the Giants, won, the cut will
be about $4600 on the basis of 26
players. The Senators, had they won
the series, would have gotten more,
dividing on the basis of 22Vz shares.
Since they lost, the Senators will re-
ceive about $3400 each.
The Senators and Giants receive
75 per cent of the total pool and split
on the basis of 60 per cent or $119,-
559.59 for the Giants and 40 per cent
of $79,206.39 for the Senators. The
remainder goes to second, third and
fourth place clubs of the American
and National Leagues.
