Car-Truck Crash Is More Comfort While
Fatal To Two People The Screen Flashes
At press-time the New Era Herald
was notified of the death of Jerome
Kubicek, who died from injuries re-
ceived in the crash, which brought the
death toll to two in the Saturday
niRht car-truck crash in San Antonio.
He was the nephew of Mr. and Mrs.
F. K. Bucek of Hallettsville. Further
information was not available.
Jerome Kubicek, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Oswald Kubicek, suffered head
injuries and a broken leg in a collis-
ion between a car and a biff truck
in San Antonio about midnight Sat-
urday. A young lady was killed and
four other persons Injured.
J. M. Ragsdale of Dallas, driver of
the truck, received minor cuts and
bruises, but was able to render as-
sistance by stopping passing motor-
ists, who secured officers and an am-
bulance. The two vehicles crashed
headlong, and the truck over-turned.
The car was demolished.
The young lady who lost her life
was Miss Annie Georgia Dressier of
San Antonio, a student nurse in the
Medical and Surgical Hospital. The
others injured are Miss Mary Martha
Dressier, Victor R. Jurak and Gene
Till.—Hallettsville New Era-Herald.
N.Y.A. ATTACHE VISITS AT
LA GRANGE, FRIDAY
C. H. Yoe, with the N.Y.A. division
of Texas, at Austin, spent a part of
Friday in La Grange, and as is his
wont, visited with the Rambler. Mr.
Yoe is interesting In conversation
and leaves much information with
those he contacts. He stated that
they would not establish a camp in
Fayette county, but youths can get
in touch with the Brenham camp if
they are interested.
“We have had some mighty fine
boys from La Grange and Fayette
county,” is the way the visitor put It
to the Rambler. Always has a tone
of acceptance. La Grange youths and
those who have come from other
parts of Fayette county have acquit-
ted themselves in a manner becom-
ing to their station in life and to
their parents.
-o —
Alfred Fischer will leave next Sun-
day evening for Kelly Field, San An-
tonio, to enter the U. S. service.
Always in the mood to make it,
more comfortable for the patrons of [
the Cozy Theatre, Manager Von Min- j
den gave the reporter the tip to I
“walk into and see” what he meant
as he stated that he “was preparing
a nursery” for the mother patrons. |
Keeping in line with the modern I
methods of the larger city theatres,
Mr. Von Minden has caused to be
built a nursery which is to the right
of the entrance, and has made it cool
and comfortable. In this nursery the
mother who wishes to view the pic-
ture, and to have her little son or
daughter with her and not disturb
those of the main audience, he has
provided the comfort necessary.
The nursery is provided with a
cooling system, cool enough and not
too cold, so that a fretting child may
be comfortable and the mother can
enjoy in comfort the picture that is
flashed on the screen.
Patrons of the Cozy Theatre who
may not be mothers and may not find
it necessary to remain at home be-
cause of a fretting youngster can ap-
preciate the change also. It may be
interesting to all patrons to inspect
the nursery, and to give the manager
the glad hand for his thoughtfulness.
“We expect to have the room in
good and tidy form in about 10 days,”
said the manager to the reporter
Tuesday. “You will observe that the
large glass is ample for good vision,
and that in addition to keeping the
room cool, the sound will penetrate,
nnd the mother who views the show
from the nursery will hear the play
as well as does the patron in the
main chamber.”
Always keeping in the mind that
the comfort of the Cozy patrons
means a pleased customer, the Cozy
will continue to improve its facilities
and give to its customer the same
that is offered in the large city thea-
tres, even if it be on a reduced scale.
The man with the paint brush is
“saving the surface” with the appli-
cation of new paint, giving the outer
entrance to the theatre an inviting
appearance. The awning, with its
lighting system, will also be improved.

The 155-millimeter gun is the mod-
ern version of the old ‘‘GPF” of
World War I days. It has a range
fifty percent greater than the old
gun, heaving a 95-pound projectile
approximately 15 miles. It is capa-
ble of high road speed and each
one costs $50,000.
Arsenals'of America are working
at terrific speed turning out this long
range, effective weapon for our
armed forces. You and your neigh-
bor working hand-in-hand in unity
can make possible the purchase of
an adequate number of these guns
by buying War Bonds. Put 10 per- J
cent of your income in War Bonds to
help reach your county quota, every
pay day.
SENATOR W. LEE O’DANIEL

I express my sincere thanks to the
people of the 9th Congressional Dis-

recent primary election. To those
who managed my campaign, and
those who took an active interest in
my behalf while official duties de-
tained me in Washington, I am pro-
foundly grateful. My promise is, to
do everything in my power to help
win the war, and to win it as early
as possible. While the tremendous
burdens of the war are upon us I
shall use my best efforts to reduce
to an absolute minimum, all Govern-
ment expenditures, except those ne-
cessary to win the war.
Sincerely,
J. J. MANSFIELD.

Judge Allred says:
The run-off that wasn’t going to
be is about to begin. I want my
friends to know that I have just be-
gun to fight. I campaigned actively
only six weeks before the first pri-
mary. We have almost four weeks
to go this time.
From all over the State people j
have wired or phoned pledging new
or redoubled help. Many of them say.
they didn’t realize the race was going
to be so close or they would have
worked harder the first time. \\ ith
that kind of spirit the battle can be
won, it must be won, it will be won.
It is the people’s battle for Texas and
America in which all of us have vol-
unteered.
At the present time detailed plans
for the run-off are in formation. 1
can only say that it will be free
from personalities and based upon the
record and my program.
Many who formerly supported
Governor Moody have pledged their
support. Among these are Mrs. Clara
Driscoll Sevier of Corpus Christi, L.
M. Bickett of San Antonio, Dr. O. H.
Judkins of San Antonio, Frank Dobie
of Austin, J. Frank Rayzor of Den-
ton, B. H. Gardner of Palestine, Tom
Pickett of Palestine, Burge Holt of
Corpus Christi, R. L. Murray of Port
Arthur. I have not been authorized
as yet to give out the names of others.

The dynamic. candidate, who has
been successively attorney general
j and governor of Texas and then fed-
eral judge, declared that he never
felt better in his life. He said, how-
ever, he would rest a few days before
plunging again in the fray.

LATER—Tuesday night Judge All-
red began his campaign in the run-
off by speaking at Abilene, and will
make four speeches each day for this
week, in the northwestern part of
Texas.
Senator O’Daniel says:
My getting practically 49 per cent
of the votes cast in the first primary
is not considered by me as a personal
victory but on the contrary it is a
real victory for the people of Texas
because of the fundamental principles
of democracy involved. A victory for
freedom, liberty, fair play and the
preservation of our representative
form of government. A victory over
the forces of “rule by might” backed
by millions of dollars contributed by
selfish groups who would destroy me
because I refused to be a yes-man for
them. Inasmuch as we lack only
about 1 per cent of having a clear
majority in the first primary I be-
lieve it is perhaps a blessing that we
are to have the privilege of a second
primary because it will afford the op-
portunity for other sinister and sel-
fish groups and certain self-styled im-
portant individuals to step from be-
hind the ^smoke screen and openly
admit they are part of the gang that
is opposing us, and get mowed down
with them by the good people of Tex-
as on August 22.
Hundreds of letters coming to me
in the last few days indicate my op-
ponent in the run-off does not seem
to appeal to most of those who sup-
ported Governor Moody in the first
primary. Many of these letters are
very frank in stating that above
everything else they do not want a
“yes-man'” in the United States sen-
ate, and while for various reasons
they supported Moody in the first
primary, they are going to support
me in the run-off. I appreciate their
support and welcome others who feel
as they do. I want to take this op-
portunity to again thank each and
every one jaf our good friends, and
the friends of democracy, who have
been so loyal and who have worked
so hard and so faithfully in support
of the philosophy of government for
which I have contended and shall con-
tinue to contend.

Troop II of the La Grange Girl
Scouts had the Fourth Annual Camp
Juliette Low at the delightful Wm.
Hermes Camp on the Colorado River
from Thursday, July 30, thru Satur-
day, August 1. Families of the Girl
Scouts who were invited to a picnic
supper at the camp on the last even-
ing at the river took part in camp
games that the girls played and en-
tered into the song fest with which
the girls closed camp.
Days at camp were busily filled
with handcraft, nature study, swim-
ming, archery, and first aid, and the
evenings with games and songs.
Cooking, serving meals, and clean-
ing were divided among the scouts
so that each of them had experience
both in preparing and serving meals,
and in cleaning the kitchen. Council-
ors of the camp took turns supervis-
ing this work in addition to their
other responsilibities at camp. Miss
Ruby Mac Albrecht directed the na-
ture study and the archery; Miss
Aurelia Pierce directed the handcraft
and assisted with the nature study;
and Miss Billy Darter, who is acting
as Troop Leader in the absence of
Mrs. George Kroll, directed the first
aid practice and assisted the scouts
with their swimming. Miss Majorie
Logan, a former member of Troop I,
and a seasoned camper, directed the
camp fire activities and lead the sing-
ing.

La Grange Tramples
Hallettsville 1 0 to 4
La Grange again defeated the Hal-
lettsville nine Sunday afternoon to
shove the locals further in the cellar
of the South Central Texas League
standings.
La Grange drew first blood in the
first inning by scoring one run and
then crossed the plate three times in
the second, once in the third, two
more times in the fourth, one more
run in the fifth and two more in the
eighth, to pile up a substantial mar-
gin.
Hallettsville scored their first tally
in the fourth, after Pohl had tripled
and then scored on an error by La
Grange’s catcher. In the ninth inning
with the score 10 to 1, the locals
started a rally that netted three runs
but was insufficient to overtake the
lead gained in the early stages of the
game.
Christen hurled for Hallettsville
during the first three innings, allow-
ing seven hits, walking one and strik-
ing out none. He was charged with
the loss. Rother went to the hill in
the eighth for Hallettsville and fin-
ished the game, allowing eight hits,
whiffing 10 and walking 2.
Blume went the full route for La
Grange, giving up 6 hits, fanning
8 and walking none. Extra base hits
were garnered by Pohl, a triple, Cho-
vanetz and Christen, each doubling
for Hallettsville, and Anders of La
Grange hit for two bases and three
bases.—Hallettsville New Era-Herald.
GOT HIS WHEEL AND TIRE
Some unscrupulous critter, with
very little respect for other people’s
property, visited the garage of Frank
Baumbuch, employee at the Fayette
County Record office, Tuesday night
and did away with a wheel and tire
from his automobile. Seen Wednesday
morning, Frank was on his way to
work afoot, and hot behind the collar.
