bushels of corn to the acre, said to
be the record breaking corn crop for
the State of Texas. Old East Texas
is naturally a record breaker. A few
years ago A. T. Watson near Stew-

off an acre, with some waste corn
overlooked.

It was announced today that the
Humble Oil & Refininig Company,
sponsors of broadcasts of Southwest
Conference football for the past two
years, will again sponsor these
broadcasts during the 1937 season.
The broadcast will be over an ex-
tensive network of Texas stations,
so that followers of Conference foot-
ball in all parts of the State will be
able to follow their gridiron favorites
without difficulty.
Due to the 10-game schedule ad-
opted by the Conference this season,
broadcasts will be more condensed
than heretofore. On most Saturday
afternoons, the Humble Company will
broadcast as many as three games,
and on several Saturdays as many as
four, according to tentative schedules
now being worked out. This will give
radio followers of football a com-
prehensive picture of the Conference
season.
The announcing staff is already
well known to football fans. It will
include Kern Tips, Cy Lcland, Hal
Thompson, Gene Wyatt, Tom Jacobs,
Bill Hightower and others. Technical
equipment, much of it bought new
this year to take advantage of latest
developments, will be unsurpassed.
Born, to Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Kirgan, ■

AUSTIN, Aug. 31.—In speaking
of health racketeers, Dr. Geo. W.
Cox, State Health Officer, said “There
is no meaner method of hittin* below
the belt than by holding out false
promises to incurables. This fact,
however, does not in the least deter
the unscrupulous who thus heart-
lessly prey upon thousands of un-
fortunate* who are in a hopeless
stage of illness. Thousands of dol-
lar* are extracted annually from in-
dividuals whose conditions direct
their hopes to the promises made by
the super-scientific gentry who claims
to have beaten the untiring research-
ers of endowed laboratories to cures
for cancer, diabetes, tuberculosis,
epilepsy, pellagra, and other serious
conditions.
“Unfortunately, it is words rath-
er than deeds that create the mira-
cle. A miracle which, instead of being
related to a cure, is entirely assoc-
iated with the transfer of large sums
of money from innocent persons to
those whose only interest in health
and health matters stops at the cash
register.
“It is the sad and killing fact that
in addition to the incurables, there
are thousands of believing persons
who become the victims of this type
of racketeer, and thus through self-
diagnosis and self-treatment, post-
pone a real investigation of their ail-
ments until the incurable stage is
reached.
“Two main rules should be follow-
ed in this connection. The first is
to have an annual physical examina-
tion by a reputable physician. In this
way incipient conditions can be dis-
covered nnd by proper treatment the
disease can frequently be conquered.
The second rule is to mistrust all
high promising statements of ‘amaz-
ing discoveries’.”

Until recent years, few people wore
glasses. The men of the past cen-
turies lived and worked for the most
part out doors—they did little read-
ing and they never attended moving
picture shows. They did not use
their eyes constantly as we do today,
and doubtless gave no thought or at-
tention to many visual errors that
would now be regarded as serious.
Today conditons are different. You
have to use your eyes to the limit of
what they will do, and visual errors
that would have once gone unnoticed
arc now a severe handicap to your
success and happiness.
Years ago, the methods of eye ex-
amination were crude compares! to
the exacting requirements of today,
and the glasses fitted were incon-
venient and ill-fitting. The science of
examining the eyes, and the art of
fitting glasses has developed to a
high state of perfection as man’s need
for better vision has grown.
One serious aspect of visual errors
is the fact that people do not always
know when their eyes are to be blam-
ed for their troubles. Headaches,
nervousness, “that tired feeling,” and
other disorders are very often traced
directly to defective eyesight, after
they have been blamed for years
upon organic disorders which do not
exist.
The only way to learn whether or
not your eyesight is all that it should
be is to have a complete modern eye
examination. You may be able to see
perfectly and yet be subjecting your
eyes all of the time to an entirely un-
necessary strain that can be readily
relieved. Slight errors that are neglec-
ted, often become difficult to correct
later.
Your eyes should receive the best
possible care, and they will if you
select a dependable optometrist to
care for them.
The frames will fit and will be be-
coming; the lenses made exactly ac-
cording to your individual prescrip-
tion, will be the very best obtainable.
Too much emphasis cannot be
placed upon the importance of the
lenses. Your glasses will not give you
the comfort you expect unless the
lenses are perfect and are scientifi-
cally designed for the particular re-
quirements of your own prescription.
It is possible to see clearly only
through the center of ordinary glas-
ses. When you rotate your eyes with-
out moving your head, and look
through the edges of an ordinary
pair of lenses, the images appear
more or less blurred. This is a de-
fect common lenses that lens-makers
sought for years to overcome and
have finally mastered.
It s now possible to obtain lenses
for correcting vision that are made
with the same optical precision as
high grade camera microscope lenses.
Such lenses are slightly more in cost
than the regular type, but they give
better and safer vision
The demands of modern social and
business life are for efficiency. Good
vision, which is an aid to efficiency,
is expected as a matter of course,
since it is so easily available through
the advance of modern science in op-
tics. Except in unusual cases, there
is no excuse for poor eyesight.
So guard carefully your eyesight.
Do not neglect the warnings sent to
you by means of eyestrain symptoms.
Only an examination will present the
facts about them, and it is folly in-
deed to evade the issue.

NOBODY’S
BUSINESS
BY JULIAN CAPER* JR.
age pension costs, which under a I
riedly enacted law now cost .hJ
state about $10,000,600 a year
AUSTIN.—On the eve of two or
more special sessions of the 45th
legislature, called primarily to raise
more tax money, there is acumulat-
ing evidence thruout Texas that with
the passing of the depression emer-
gency, the people of Texas are in-
clining strongly toward a return
to sanity in government. Legislators
have been home and talked with the
home folks. They have been reading
the home newspapers. An able sen-
ate committee with Holbrook of Gal-
veston, Collie of Eastland and Stone
of Brenham, has been doing a yeo-
man service in digging into govern-
mental waste and extravagance, and
will have some pertinent recommen-
dations to make to the legislature.
Several special groups, including the
All-South Development council, have
been urging a taxation “breathing
spell” so that business may resume
activity, and new industrial enter-
prises be attracted to Texas.
Committee Is Convinced
The senate investigating commit-
tee has found some surprising things
about appropriations for the depart-
ments, in a hurried inquiry. Appar-
ently, many members of the legisla-
ture. voting for the biennial approp-
riation bills during the final rush of
the regular session, did not even
know what was in the bills. Depart-
mental expenditures were hiked as
much as 200 and 300 per cent over
previous years. Some departments
even got more money than they ask-
ed for. Salary adjustments were
highly inequitable, ranging from 5
to 60 percent in some cases. The
committee will recommend some re-
vision of these extravagant approp-
riations, but is not altogether hope-
ful of getting favorable action.
“I have found out enough to know
that I am not going to vote for
any new taxes. We can largely wipe
out the deficit by cutting expenses
and by diligent effort in collecting de-
linquent taxes," said Sen. Stone. He
cited one department whose expenses
jumped from $5000 to $70,000 since
1930, without any additional duties
imposed on it by statute. The com-
mittee found that another depart-
ment’s expense had upped from
$250,000 to a million; and that costs
of collection special taxes ranges all
the way from 2 per cent to 17 per
cent.
4 ‘There isn’t any doubt that the
cost of government can and should |
be reduced. It may never be possi- j
ble to reduce the present cost, but |
we certainly don’t want it to grow,” j
remarked Holbrook.
In this connection, there is a
strong movement under way to post-
pone passage of enabling acts to
put into effect the constitutional I
amendments adopted last week for
state aid for dependent children and
needy blind persons until the next
regular session. The intervening time
should be used, some legislators say,
to study carefully existing laws on
these subjects in other state. They
point out that with hastily drafted
legislation, rushed thru a special ses-
sion, the cost of either project might
skyrocket to totals exceeding the old
What They Say
Here are some typical expr,-,. u.
from influential members of the
islature:
Sen. Clint Small, Amarillo—’fh,
schools, highways, departments ,
pensioners are getting plenty, im(|
as to the deficit, why destroy such
a valuable eheckrein on spending .’
have no serious complaints now, hut
new tax burdens would bring a
of them.
Rep. Dallas Blankenship, Dallas
“There’s no occasion to levy addi-
tional taxes before the regular ,(.s.
sion of 1939. We ought to give John
Taxpayer a two-year breathing
spell.”
Rep. Augustin Celaya, Browns-
ville—“Reduction of governmental
cost is the only answer.”
Rep. B. T. Johnson, Ft. Worth—
“Revenues are increasing rapidly
due to improved conditions. This
prosperity should not be hindered by
punitive taxes. New taxes are en-
tirely unnecessary.”
Rep. Alfred Petsch, Fredericks-
burg—“Being some 10 millions in the
red was a life-saver to taxpayers.
Otherwise the last legislature would
have appropriated 50 millions more
than it did and even then it exceed-
ed the speed limit. Let the deficit
stand as a safety valve.”
Similar expressions from Sen. Col-
lie, of Eastland. Reps. Vernon Le-
mons, Rainbow, Rawlins Colquitt,
Dallas, Merrit Gibson, of Longview,
and others indicate the widespread
sentiment. Even Rep. Herman Jones,
of Decatur, author of the franchise
tax bill last session, which was de-
feated, now says “We don't need as
much money as we thought at first.”
Against this sentiment might be
named Reps. G. C. Morris of Green-
ville, Edgar Keefe, of Palestine, and
Marvin London of Montague, consti-
tuting a committee studying rural
school aid, who favor a 4 per cent
oil tax and increased natural re-
source levies. Then there are mem-
bers of the pension liberalization
bloc, who are committed to raising
some additional pension revenue.
* * *
Stone Suggestion
Sen. Albert Stone has conceived
a clever scheme to divert the “heat”
from the pension partisans from the
state to their local county officials.
He advocates legislation to turn 'J
over the state’s share of all delin-
quent taxes collected during the bi-
ennium to the old age pension fund.
If that were done, the folks who
want some pensions, or more pen-
sions, might build a fire under some
county tax collectors to go after
the folks who don’t pay their tax
bills. They’re all up for re-election
next year, and very sensitive to the
demands of the voters right now.
