MRS. RATHMAN EN-
TERTAINS AUXILIARY
Mrs. Otto Rathman was hostess to
the Presbyterian auxiliary Tuesday
afternoon. The devotional was led
by Mrs. Sam Dickens Jr., who open-
ed her program with a stewardship
prayer. She took her scripture read-
ings from Acts 17:24-25 and Psalms
55:14, after which she and Mrs. W.
C. Gillen gave an interesting dial-
ogue on stewardship.
After a brief business session, Mrs.
Chas. Wachendorfer chose as her
foreign mission topic “Korea,” show-
ing the advancements made in vari-
ous phases of life due to Christian
education.
Mrs. Otto Rathman led the closing
prayer, following which delicious re-
freshments, carrying out the Easter
theme, were served to the members,
including a new member, Mrs. Bill
Tittle, and to two guests, Miss Ethel
Jones of Shreveport, La., and Mrs.
Ed Harman.—Contributed.
Mrs. E. Babe Smith and Mrs. F. J.

107 checks, covering the third pay-
ment on the corn-hog contracts, were

FATHER HELD NOT
LIABLE IN SON’S WRECK
AUSTIN, April 10.—The Texas su-
preme court held today that a father
was not liable for an accident oc-
curring while a son or daughter was
taking a pleasure drive in the fam-
ily automobile.
Two of the three justices of the
court of civil appeals at Waco had
ruled that C. L. Trice was liable fox-
injuries suffered by- M. L. Bridge-
water and damages to his automobile
in a collision with the Trice car.
Wilson Ti-ice, 17, was alleged to have
been driving at the time. The case
originated in Falls county.
Highest tribunals of the various
states have differed on the question.
The court said 18 or 20 states had
rejected the “family pux-pose doc-
trine,” or the doctrine that the father
is liable for the negligence of anyone
driving the family automobile.
“There is no sound or logical basis
in law or reason on which liability
of a father for the negligent acts of
his son while in pursuance of his
own personal ends and pleasures can
be grounded,” the court held.
The court panted out that young
Trice was considered a “skillful and
competent driver.” It emphasized
that a different question would have
been involved if the minor child had
been an incompetent driver or if he
had been operating the car on busi-
ness for the father or the family.
PRESIDENT PLANNING
SPECIAL MESSAGE ON
BONUS MEASURE
WASHINGTON, April 10.—Presi-
dent Roosevelt—who opposes imme-
diate cash payment of the bonus—to-
day indicated to Senator Robinson,
of Arkansas, democratic leader, that
he planned a special message soon
to congress on the issue.
In a genial mood after reviewing
the entire legislative situation with
the president, Robinson x-efused to
give details of the proposed bonus
message.
There was (speculation that Mr.
Roosevelt might offer a compromise
since the house already has passed a
bonus bill but leadei-s at the capital
said they had heard nothing of such
plans. Outright opposition from the
president to the pending measure—
the Patman bill which would pay the
soldiers certificates with new curren-
cy—was their guess.
For all the reports that Mr. Roose-
velt was dissatisfied with the slow
legislative progress this session and
planned to “crack down,” Robinson
said the president was satisfied with
the progress that had been made
thus far. even though the only im-
portant administration bill to go
through is work relief.

SHORT CROP OF WHEAT
IS FORECAST
WASHINGTON, April 10.—Anoth-
er short wheat crop was indicated
today in the first department of ag-
riculture forecast.
A winter wheat production of 435,-
499.000 bushels was predicted as com-
pared with 405,034,000 bushels pro-
duced last year and a five-year av-
erage of 618,186,000 bushels.
This, plus the 190,000,000 bushels
spring wheat crop which Secretary
Wallace at his press conference esti-
mated would result from the recent
lifting of the 10 per cent acreage cut.
would result in a total crop of about)
625.449.000 bushels, only slightly
above the total domestic consump-
tion of 625,000,000 bushels.
Condition of pastures throughout
the country was reported at 68.7 per
cent of normal, a low point for this
early in the season. To complicate
the difficulties, a shortage of feed
with livestock on short rations was
reported in practically all states.
AAA officials were concerned over
the crop production situation, real-
izing that any large curtailment of
production through adverse weather
would create a serious situation be-
cause of the low ebb in farm stocks
of feeds.
