’A Clock During A
Thunderstorm
THERE IS ONE THING that Robert Louis Stevenson wrote
that has stood out In my memory above all others. It la this:
“Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on In
fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock
during a thunderstorm*_
Lincoln holding his course during the trying days of the
vU War; Washington at Valley forge; Elbert and Alice Hub-
b»rd calmly facing death on the Lusitania; Nathan Hale;
Christ before the mob —. quiet minds mil. _ *
The man who can say, with Walt Whitman, “Nothing ex-
ternal to me can have any power over me”; the man who
knows that, as the philosopher Seneca said, "Most powerful Is
e who has himself In his power”; that type of man has a
et mind. He moves forward “as tranquilly as a chip on a
placid stream.” He plows ahead like a steamer, rough or
smooth, rain or shine.

but only fair, since the opening
of the general fishing season,

armadillo, in addition to being
the farmer’s friend, is also friend
of the sportsmen because of his
service in destroying quail pre-
dators. ”
The armadillo Is not native to
the plains region of Texas. One
of the armadillos the farmer im-
ported to Borden county was
killed by a sportsman near Gall
and this gave rise to the errone
ous Impression that these ani-
mals belonged to the South
Plains as well as to the more
eastern portions of Texas.

Fishing for gar not only will
give the sportsmen much fun, but
will directly Improve fishing
conditions In Texas waters be-
cause It will take much of the
pressure off of game fish such as
bass, the Director of Inland
Fisheries reports.
“Most fishermen in the past
have thought they could have no
fun at all cn a fishing trip unless
they caught a bass, a crappie, or
some other game fish,” he said
“The result has been a heavy
drain on the game fish supply,
while gars multiplied unmolest-
ed.
“Today the picture is dung-
ing. Hundreds of fishermen are
absolutely deserting bass fishing
in favor of garTtShlng, because
they found out they can have
worlds of fun at It.
jgfhls will ease the strain on
fish species, and we
will have, In time, a more balanc-
ed condition among fishes in our
waters.

Cries for repeal of the neutral-
ity act, already modified some
time ago In response to popular
demand, se^ve as reminders that
the American people are too
much given to sentimentalist
impulses that sometimes prove
perilous. Our commonest and
most dangerous surrender to
sentimentalism Is that of course
which leaves us always unpre-
pared for national defense. The
neutrality bill passed several
years ago was the product.of pac-
ifist desire plus the theory that
we could give this republic ab-
solute protection against war
merely by “passing a bill.”
As this and other newspapei
sugested at the time of the
drastic neutrality law’s enact-
ment, America’s people would
demand its revision or repeal
whenever changed conditions
brought corresponding changes
In their attitude. Revision of the
law came sooner than was ex-
pected; now there 1s a demand
for Its repeal entire and the na-
ttqp’s return to the sane neu-
trality principle agreed upon by
the nations In those days when
their agreements meant honest
Observance.
Just a little while ago, to cite
another Instance of sentimental-
ist rise and wane, the mere sug-
gestion of preliminary- military
training for high school stud-
ents who wanted it and had
parental approval, caused shiv-
ers of horror and sharp protest
in many communities, Including
our own. Cities which adopted
the high school cadet system are
proud of It today. Cities where
pacifist sentiment forced its re-
jection either are openly regret-
ful or beginning to fear they
made a mistake.
When it was suggested last
year that military training be
added to the voluntary Instruc-
tion courses offered the young
men of the COC, horrified pro-
test was filed against such rank
“militarism.” Tbday the Amer-
ican majority wonders out loud
whether It would not be wise to
let the COO lads .who want It
that preliminary training^
as in treasure has been appalling,
but it seems that no lesson how-
ever severe and costly can keep
us from repeating the mistakes
sentimentalism so often has led
us into.
Kellam said. At the present time
these Stations use radio teje-
graph, but later it is planned to
include voice communication.
Supervised by a licensed opera-
tor, boys assigned to those pro-
jects are tauglit the fundamen-
tals of setliCTVlcing, methods of
communication, b r o a dcastlng,
and radio manufacturing.
“The. primary purpose of the
development of radio projects
within the NYA program,” the
State Youth Administrator said,
“is to provide work experience
and related information in a
comparatively new field. Among
the~benefits which we seek to
give Texas youth on these pro-
jects are Increased employment
opportunities, ' development of
talent through broadcasting ac-
tivities, acquirement of skill in

At Legislators
MUMBORD. — Determined to
a definite commitment from
every legislative candidate on the
question .of natural resources
taxes to pay social security ob-
ligations, the Women’s Commit-
tee on Economic Policy for Texas
today had lfld down the first
barrage of a drive for fulfillment
of its legislative program, Mrs.
Jud Collier of Mumford, chair-
man, announced.
Instructions have been mailed
to 1,000 Texas women leaders,
asking them to get a frank, un-
equivocal statement from ail leg-
islative candidates as to wheth-
er they favor an Increase of nat-
ural ‘resource taxes to pay old
age periilbns to the needy and to
finance the teachers’ retirement
program, Mrs. Collier declared.
"We have- prepared a special
questionnaire which these wo-
mer^ leaders will have all candi-
dates sign, and these signed
forms will be returned to state
headquarters for compilation,”
she pointed out.
- “We are standing by our mot-
to,- ’We Are Tired of Nonsense.’
We mean business In this drive
for just taxation. We think our
own social security needs should
be financed by reasonable taxes
on our natural resources which
today flow in an unending
stream to other states and to
Germany, Italy, and Japan.
“The only way to lay the
groundwork for such a drive in
the next Legislature Is to get a
signed commitment from all leg-
islative candidates now. The wo-
men of Texas are going to get
these commitments, and theft
they are going to elect candi-
dates who stand for this form of
taxation,” Mrs. Collier asserted.
With Mrs. Collier as chairman
and Mrs. Margaret Reading of
Waller as secretary-treasurer,
the Committee consists of lead-
ing women who are pledged to
the group’s tax-social security
program.

gHtRY DEAR Bf ATI NS CRojv
since I got him a MILE-DIAL...FREE
“Just like a men—with hie superior air—he’d
keep telling me any gaaoline is the name as
any other. But I argued there couldn’t be
much to loee, as long as they give you the
Conoco Mile-Dial perfectly free.
"They certainly wouldn’t tease you to take
a thing that strictly counts up the mileage
from their own gaaoline, unleae they’re awfully
aura of themselves. So I steered to the Ant
Conoco station and in half a second the Mile-
Dial was on the dash. Looks smart. Free, too.
“The total mileage on your speedometer
goes on the Mile-Dial, eo you know the start
of your teat. And you know the amount of
your gasoline, by starting with just a full tank
of Brooa-s-s. Then going along buying your
10 gallons more, or maybe fl, or 16 lot’s aay,
your Mite-Dial keeps count.
“Let’s look. I'm up to 63 galteue. And...
wait a second... it’s M8 miles since storting
this test of Conoco Bronz-z-z. Now watch this
flip of the Mile-Dial. There!—it says better
than 1714 miles from a gallon of Bronz-z, with
a car this big. And do I hear any pooh-pooh?
"Even Henry won’t say it’e just hick any
more, after all the different driving teats he’s
kept doing with this Mile-Dial... Luck?..,
It’s just bad luck using mixed breeds of gaao-
line when Conoco Bronz-z-z is game to let
you dial its true mileage. A smaller car like
yours might even beet 17H.
"If you’re e consumer that wants 36 inches
in a yard, and real facts on everything, you
certainly want the true count of mileage from
your opeo-Ceee Conoco Mile-Dial.. ."
