PROCEEDINGS OF
TEXAS LEGISLATURE
House Deals With Educa-
tional Bill—Have Trouble
To Get Quorum.
1 Austin, Texas.—When the house
resumed at 5 o’clock Friday after-
noon a quorum was declared present
and the pending business was senate
bill No. 1 making appropriations for
educational institutions, it being the
same as originally passed by the sen-
ate in the first called session.
Satterwhite -immediately offered a
substitute for the entire bill, the
house bill as amended by Bonham,
Pope and Curtis.
Patman moved to adjourn until Mon-
day. The motion was lost, but only
after Speaker Thomas had admonish-
ed the house that to adjourn to that
time was very foolish and would
amount almost to disgrace, inasmuch
as the senate had passed the bill
promptly and in every way endeavor-
ed to expedite business so as to get
the bill to conference at the earli-
est possible time. Speaker Thomas
said the house should do likewise.
The vote of 16 to 66, a total of 85,
showed ten less- than a quorum pres-
ent and on motion of Miller of Dal-
las the house was ordered under call.
The sergeant-at-arms was instructed
to bring in the absentees.
It was developed that the reason
the retrenchers opposed consideration
of the bill this afternoon and favored
adjournment until Monday is that they
have drawn material amendments to
the bill, the nature of which they re-
fused to divulge.
A legislative game of hide and seek
was in progress Friday night; absen-
tee legislators cached themselves
somewhere within or without the en-
virons of Austin and warrants ad-
dressed to the sheriff or constable of
Travis County were signed by Speaker
of the House Thomas. The search up
to midnight proved fruitless, for the
sergeant-at-arms reported he still had
nine warrants, but had bagged no
game.
At midnight the house stood at ease.
The sheriff was ordered to continue
the search for absent members.
Austin, Texas.—Governor Neff is-
sued a proclamation convening the
37th legislature in second called ses-
sion just 17 hours after the refusal
of the majority of the house to ac-
cept the conference committee report
on the educational bill.
The reconvening of the legislature
was expected, inasmuch as the failure
of the house to provide any financial
support for the State educational in-
stitutions.
When the legislature assembled
Wednesday it was found that the house
lacked a quorum, some of the boys
having made their get-away.
Speaker Thomas sent out his beat-
ers and rounded up a quorum by 2
p. m., when the house stood at ease.
The senate immediately busied itself
in preparing something over which
the house can fight by introducing the
original senate educational bill and
proceeding to pass it as rapidly as the
legislative gears would operate. Mean-
time the house waited until the bill
should be brought to it.
Governor Neff has submitted the
educational institutions for the consid-
eration of the State’s lawmakers and
appropriation approvers which it is
probable the governor considers suffi-
cient for the present.
Austin, Texas.—The first called ses-
sion of the Thirty-sixth legislature ad-
journed sine die at 12:10 Wednesday
morning without reaching an agree-
ment on the educational appropriation
bill. All other appropriation bills had
been finally passed and sent to the
governor.
After great volumes of argument the
house Tuesday night at 11:30 o’clock
by a vote of 66 to 58 refused to adopt
the conference committee’s report on
the educational aporopriation bill, and
following further argument and ora-
tory adjourned sine die at 12:10
o’clock Wednesday morning. The old
custom of turning time backward in
-its flight was resorted to. Earlier in
the night an effort was made to have
the senate concur in house amend-
ments to the educational bill. These
efforts were unavailing.
After the house had adopted the
conference report on the miscellaneous
claims appropriations, the majority
report of the conference committee on
the educational appropriation bill was
presented. This report was signed by
all members of the committee except
Representative Curtis of Tarrant and
Westbrook of Grayson. Senator
Woods, although he' signed the ma-
jority report, made the note that
he was not in according with the
agreement on some of the items.
Curtis and Westbrook, constituting the
minority, sent up their reasons in
writing and asked that they be print-
ed in the journal and read before the
house.
Final touches were given the John-
son of Wichita truck bill Tuesday
when the conference committee report
was accepted by both house and sen-
ate. The bill now goes to the gov-
ernor. It repeals the act of the regu-
lar session which was held unduly
burdensome.
FIGHTING WASHINGTON COPPER
BEING GROOMED FOR DEMPSEY
Jack Dempsey had better watch out, for Harry Darnielle, Washington, D.
C. policeman, is being groomed by Dr. B. F. Roller of New York, to knock the
champion from under his crown.
Darnielle, who held the heavyweight title of the U. S. destroyer fleet at
Guantanamo bay, Cuba, sprang into the limelight July 4th, when he knocked
out 20 ruffians in a rough-and-tumble fight in Washington. Todd C. Wood-
worth, Arizona mining man and sportsman, decided to look the wonder cop
over. In Darnielle, he immediately saw championship timber, and Todd and
the fighting cop made the trip to New York, where Darnielle was examined
and'put through the paces by Doctor- Roller, former champion wrestler.
Darnielle is twenty-two years old, weighs 198 pounds, and is lightning
fast on his feet. The most extraordinary feature of his makeup is his chest,
which stretches a tape 48 inches.
“It might take a year or two,” say his admirers, “but Darnielle will be
the next heavyweight champion of the world.”
The photograph shows Harry Darnielle in center with C. E. Van Riper
(on leff), and Todd C. Woodworth, Darnielle’s discoverer.

Ever since the announcement that

BASEBALL PRICES HURT
There is something else the
matter with our national game
besides the lively hitting. The
falling off in attendance is. due
to another cause than the re-
silient pill.
It’s the price charged to see
the games. Fans have begun
to figure in pennies again in-
stead of dollars, since the war
flurry has passed.
They are of the opinion that
no ball game is worth two hours
of their time and $1.10 of th<*>-
money.
The prewar price of 75 cents
would make a noticeable differ-
ence in the turnstile records.
This difference of 35 cents in
the scale of seat prices isn’t
much, but it is enough to send
hundreds of baseball fans to
seek other forms of entertain-
ment.

BETTER PLAN TO PASS RUTH
Poor Strategy to Pitch to Great Slug-
ger With Men on Bases—Ty
Cobb’s Error.
While it is good sportsmanship to
pitch to Babe Ruth, with men on the
bases, it is poor strategy.
No less a strategist than Ty Cobb
made such a blunder when Bambino
got his eighteenth homer, scored two
men ahead of him, tied the score and
Babe Ruth.
made it possible for the Yanks to win
out in the ninth.
Babe takes full advantage of these
tactical errors.
He so seldom is given a chance to
hit when runners are on the paths that
he tries a little harder on such occa-
sions.
DIVISION OF MINOR SPORTS
At University of Pennsylvania Outdoor
Games Include Lacrosse, Tennis,
Golf and Polo.
University of Pennsylvania has di-
vided minor sports into two groups,
outdoor and indoor. The outdoor
sports/ include lacrosse, tennis, golf,
polo, cricket and rifle shooting; those
in the indoor group are wrestling, box-
ing, gymnastics, fencing and the gun
club.
DAVENPORT RELEASED
BECAUSE “TOO GOOD”
Opposing Teams Would Not Play
Against Big Hurler.
Almost Won Pennant Single-Handed
for St. Louis Club of Federal
League—Couldn’t Behave
in Big League.
Released from two American league
teams because he was “too bad,”
Dave Davenport, former mammoth
hurler of the St, Louis Browns and
Washington Senators, was released by
the Ogden team of the Northern Utah
league because he was “too good.”
Big Dave pitched seven games for
Ogden. He won them all. He pitched
one no-hit game, one one-hit game and
one three-hit game. He averaged 16
men per game by the strike-out route.
Then the other teams rose in revolt.
If Davenport continued to pitch for
Ogden they’d bust up the circuit, they
said. He was too good and was re-
leased.
Davenport calls it tough luck, but
says he will report to the Casper
(Wyo.) team of the Midwest league.
Back in 1914 and 1915 Davenport
was a Federal league star. In the lat-
ter year he almost won a pennant for
St. Louis single-handed. He pitched
in 40 games, winning 22. Then he

went with the Browns, but couldn’t
behave, was suspended half a dozen
times, and finally given up because
he was “too bad.”
The last big league manager to try
him was Clark Griffith. But he
couldn’t be good there, and finally
Griff let him go.
Now he is so good he has had to
move on once more to other fields.

BASEBALL FUTURE SAFE
There are about 28,000,000
boys and girls in the United
States between the ages of five
and eighteen.
That fact alone would seem
to insure baseball team owners
that there is no danger of a
shortage of ball players in the
years to come.
Make it a fifty-fifty break and
half of the 28,000,000 are boys.
About ten kids out of ten take a
crack at backyard and sandlot
baseball in early life. Rest as-
sured that a share of them—
enough to keep the big and lit-
tle leagues going—will stick to
the outdoor pastime.

YOU NEVER CAN
TMEI WILD-CAT
Mr. Dodson Warns Against Use
of Treacherous, Dangerous
Calomel
Calomel salivates! It’s mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug-
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
It, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a bottle of DocL
son’s Liver Tone for a few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn’t start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without mak-
ing you sick, you just go back and
get your money.
If you take calomel today you’ll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson’s Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition and
ready for work or play. It’s harmless,
pleasant and safe to give to children;
they like it.—Advertisement.

The Truth Won the Pass.
When Dean Richmond was at the
head of the New York Central, a boy
asked him for a pass to his home town.
Richmond could assume a very terrible
aspect, and, looking as awful as he
could, die roared at the youngster,
"Why do you want a pass?” The boy
was so terrified that he forgot the
speech he had learned for the occa-
sion, and blurted out, “Because I
don’t want to pay.” Dean Richmond
remarked that this was the first time
anyone had ever told the truth in
asking for a pass, and he gave the
boy his first free ride.
Removing Ink Stains.
Pyrophosphate of soda is recom-
mended for the removal of ink stains.
This salt does not injure vegetable
fiber and yields colorless compounds
with the ferric oxide of the ink. It
is best to first apply tallow to the
ink spot, then wash in a solution of
pyrophosphate until both tallow and
Ink have disappeared. Another formula
is to use a mixture of four parts of
tartar and two parts of powdered
alum. This is not injurious to cloth.
Other stains also may be removed with
it. - ,
Healthy Galling.
Of eight English clergymen whose
deaths were recorded in one week a
short time ago, the ages aggregated
590 years, the oldest being ninety-two
and the youngest fifty-seven, writes
a correspondent. This high average
of just under seventy-four years is
either an uncommon record or attests
the longevity of the “cloth.”
Cutting Children’s Ears.
It is a senseless practice to cut
children’s ears, and arises from a fool-
ish superstition. Many years ago it
was thought that backward children
could be cured by making an incision
in a certain part of their ears. The
belief exists in some parts of the coun-
try today, the operation being per-
formed usually by a woman at the
change of the moon. Needless to say,
It results only in pain and misery for
the child.—London Tit-Bits.
Few Quill Pens Now.
About the only quill pens one sees
In the United States now are on the
stage or are ornaments on a lady’s
writing desk in her chamber. An
actor playing the part of a states-
man or a king or a general of one
hundred or more years ago will write
his message with a goose quill pen
and instead of using blotting paper
will sprinkle sand out of a salt shaker
to soak up the surplus wet ink.
ASPIRIN
Name “Bayer” on Genuine
Beware! Unless you see the nam®
"Bayer” on package or on tablets you
are nots getting genuine Aspirin pre-
scribed by physicians for twenty-one
years and proved safe by millions.
Take Aspirin only as told in the Bayer
package for Colds, Headache, Neural-
gia, Rheumatism, Earache, Toothache,
Lumbago, and for Pain. Handy tin
boxes of twelve Bayer Tablets of As-
pirin cost few cents. Druggists also
sell larger packages. Aspirin is the
trade mark of Bayer Manufacture of
Monoaceticacidester of Salicylicacid.

"We had a number of guests to din-
ner one evening,” writes Mrs. W. G,
“and in serving the chicken my hus-
band overlooked our little daughter
Elsie. She sat there with a disap-

then a thought struck her. She
crumpled a piece of bread on her
empty plate and holding it up she'
beckoned to the dish of chicken say-
ing coaxingly, ‘Here chick, chick,

Elsie was quickly served.”—Boston
