Two little boys were talking about
the President. One of them said:
“My father thinks he has done a lot
of good.”
The other boy replied: “Oh, I don’t
know—he hasn’t closed the schools
yet.”

“Yes, dear, but he’s insured.”

“What do you repair shoes with?”
asked the small boy watching the
cobbler at work.
“Hide,” replied the cobbler.
“What for?” asked the youngster.
“I said hide. The cow’s outside!”
explained the cobbler.
“Don’t care if it is. Who’s afraid
of a cow?”
Mrs. Askie—“Do you really think
the devil has horns and hoofs?”
Mr. A.—“No; if he had, the meat
packers would have got him long
ago.”

“Say, ma,” protested the small boy,
“what’s the idea of making me sleep
here every night?”
“Ssh, dear,” admonished his Amer-
ican mamma. “You have only to

weeks to set up a new record and
then your picture will be in all the

First Senator — “What did the
crowd do when you told them you had
never paid a cent for a vote and
never would?”
Second Senator — “Well, a half-
dozen or so applauded, but most of
them got up and went out.”
AUSTIN.—While his friends were
handing over $10 and $12 for their
new automobile license plates, K.
Von Boeckmann of Austin had to pay
only $2.25 for his.
The reason was that the plates
were for a 1902 “buggy type” ma-
chine that Von Boeckmann recently
found in an Austin junkyard. He
practiced driving it in his back yard
and ventured out on the streets with
it for the first time when he chug-
ged down to the courthouse to get his
1935 license.
The “buggy with the engine in
front” has two cylinders and weighs
860 pounds.
r as the his letters, the enraged
seasonal summoned his new typist.
“You came here with good testi-
monials, Miss Brown,” he barked,
“and do you mean to tell me you
know the King’s English?”
“Of course I, know it,” she replied,
indignantly. “Otherwise he wouldn’t
be King, would he?”

AUSTIN.—Only five Texas coun-
ties could boast a record of less than
five pel' cent of their residents on re-
lief rolls as of March 1, statistics
compiled by the Texas Relief Com-
mission reveal. These counties are
Crockett, Kenedy, Lavaca, Reagan
and Winkler.
Fourteen others, Hudspeth, Ter-
rell, Upton, Parmer, Hutchinson,
Carson, Hidalgo, Cameron, Nueces,
Bee, Karnes, Gonzales, Fayette and
Fort Bend, were in the respectable
class in the eyes of State relief offi-
cials with not more than from 5 to
10 per cent of their residents receiv-
ing aid. Twelve counties had more
than 40 per cent of their inhabitants
on the relief rolls as follows:
Loving, Yoakum, Cochran, Garza,
Kent, Stonewall, King, Cottle, Titus,
Cass, Llano, and Zapata.
“These high case loads have got to
come down at once,” said Adam R.
Johnson, State relief director,
preparations were being made
send out funds for April.
“Federal authorities have cut our
applications drastically and this
means we must reduce our caseload
or the individual budgets of clients.
We want to issue adequate relief to
those in dire need and administra-
tors have been instructed to examine
their relief rolls closely and close out
all cases where the need for aid is
not clearly established.”
A further reduction in the number i
of cases is hoped for in May
peak will be reached for
farm employment.

The pompous judge glared sternly
over his spectacles at the tattered
prisoner who had been dragged be-
fore the bar of justice on a charge
of vagrancy.
“Have you ever earned a dollar in
your life?” he asked in scorn.
“Yes, your honor,” was the
sponse. “I voted for you at the last
election.”

BOSTON.—Organic heart disease
■was the cause of more deaths during
1934 than any other ailment among
policy holders of one of the country’s
largest life insurance companies, a
survey shows. Cancer was second,
with pneumonia, circulatory diseases,
cerebral hemorrhages, Bright’s dis-
ease and tuberculosis following in
the order named.
WASHINGTON.—Drive for pay-
ment of cotton reduction benefits
from the $4,880,000,000 work-relief
fund instead of from processing taxes
today was slated to be opened with
the return of President Roosevelt
from Florida.
The George amendment to the
works bill, which authorizes suspen-
sion of processing taxes and payment
of benefits from the treasury is the
basis of the campaign.
Under plans outlined today, Sen-
ators Walsh (Dem.) of Massachusetts,
."Metcalf (Rep.) of Rhode Island, and
George (Dem.) of Georgia, will call
a conference of senators and repre-
sentatives from textile sections to
agree upon a plan.
It is expected a delegation will be
selected to call on President Roose-
velt and make formal request for
suspension of the processing taxes.
At the same time, it is expected
■the President will be asked to take
drastic action to halt increasing im-
portations of Japanese cotton tex-
tiles.
Most of the members of Congress
from textile producing centers hold
that an embargo, instead of a tariff
increase is necessary to stop the ad-
vance of Japanese competition.
MOSCOW.—Children 12 years of
age and over will be tried for crimes
and be liable for the full penalties of
the law, including capital punish-
ment, the same as adults, the Soviet
Government announced yesterday.
A decree instituting this drastic de-
parture from the previous Soviet
practice was issued by the central
executive committee and the council
of people’s commissars as part of the
campaign to stamp out crime in the
’Soviet republic.
“To end crimes among children,”
the decree said, “all minors over 12
who commit theft, violence, mutila-
tion, murder or attempt to murder
will be held responsible before the
-criminal court and will be subjected
to all measures of criminal punish-
ment.”
The existing laws provide for ex-
ecution by shooting of persons con-
victed of murder and in recent weeks
many persons have paid with their
lives for less serious offenses. Un-
der yesterday’s decree, adults who
encourage minors to commit crimes
or become vagrants are liable to
prison sentences of no less than five
years.
Another regulation passed recent-
ly subjected parents who neglect the
home education of their children to
trial and punishment.
Until now, children under 14 were
never taken to court for crimes, but
could be sent to reformatories by or-
der of a special committee of the peo-
ple’s commissaries for education.
Those between 14 and 16 were
tried, but likewise sent only to the
reformatory. Between 16 and 18,
young criminals could be sentenced
to prison, but entitled to a 50 per
cent reduction in their sentences as
compared with adults.
While not intending arbitrarily or
unjustly to harass any borrower, a
vigorous campaign against deliberate
defaulters of loans obtained through
the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation
will be inaugurated immediately in
this territory, Joseph R. Smith, re-
gional manager for Texas, Oklahoma
and New Mexico, said Saturday.
Only the fewest number of fore-
closure proceedings so far instituted
are against deliberate defaulters, the
majority being due to abandonment,
Smith said. Those mortgagors in de-
liberate default have done so under
the impression that the Government
would take no action, the manager
added.
“Our delinquencies are confined
mainly to the relatively small num-
ber of people who are in genuine dif-
ficulty, resulting from unemployment
or other causes beyond their con-
trol,” Smith explained. “They are
entitled to co-operation from their
creditors. The corporation intends
to keep giving helpful consideration
to every borrower whose past credit
standing is favorable but was unable
to make his contractual payments.”
The blame for defaulting was
placed by the manager on irrespon-
sible people who have spread the im-
pression that the Government does
not insist upon payments.
115,000,000 Acres
Will Be Retired
By First of July
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Attention
turned Sunday to the land use phase
of the $4,000,000,000 (billions) work
program with disclosure that the re-
lief administration plans to have 15,-
000,000 acres of unproductive land
purchased or under option by July 1.
More than 4,000,000 acres—first
stage in the program for withdrawal
of submarginal land from cultivation
and conversion into recreation, re-
forestration or game sanctuary areas
—already are under option.
Officials, who preferred
names be not used, said this would
be paid for from*a $25,000,000 PWA
allocation, while $50,000,000 of
drouth relief funds are available for
the remainder. Plans call for pur-
chase of a total of 75,000,000 acres
over a fifteen-year period, as rec-
ommended by the National Resources
Board.
Meanwhile, concern was expressed
by some officials over a tentative
ruling by Comptroller General Mc-
Carl’s office that none of the $4,-
000,000,000 (billions) would be used
for such purchases.
Half Million Available
Lawrence Westbrook, director of
the relief administration’s rural re-
habilitation program, insisted, how-
ever, that Congress intended that the
$500,000,000 allocation for rural re-
habilitation and improved land use
be available for the submarginal
acreage program.
Westbrook said families on land
too poor to produce good crops ob-
viously needed to be moved else-
where. Plans have been made to
transfer those on the acreage bought
to better land.
PONTIAC, Mich.—A rose by any
other name might smell as sweet—
but not to Glafkos Pappatheororoko-
moundoronicolucopoulos!
The man of letters—count ’em, 37
•—waxed wrothy at a conspiracy on
the part of his children, abetted by
the school teachers, to shorten the
family name to Protopappas. Stella,
16, one of the seven children, drafted
the abbreviated form of the full
name which, she explained, was built
by the addition of a name with each
generation.
Legally, Glafkos says, the old
name stands—from “Pap” to “Los.”

TJORD has always aimed to make the automobile-buy-
JL ing dollar go as far as possible.
This year, the 1935 Ford V-8 gives you traditional
Ford low prices, traditional Ford operating economy—
. and, in addition, riding comfort, body roominess, new
beauty and new safety features that will satisfy the require-
ments of almost everyone.
Consider some of the major improvements in the Ford
V-8 for 1935. Take Comfort: From this standpoint alone,
what a completely rounded car this is! Comfort Zone
Riding that gives “front seat comfort” even to rear seat
passengers. Deep cushioned, high-backed, wider seats.
Big, air-balloon tires. Easier steering and a newly-de-
signed clutch that responds to the touch of your foot.

Consider safety: There’s safety glass all around—on all
models—at no additional cost. A new, welded all-steel
body. New, more powerful brakes, with an unusually
high ratio of braking surface to car weight. And a lower
center of gravity that gives increased safety and sta-
bility on curves!
Why be satisfied to receive less than this for your money?
Examine this new 1935 Ford V-8. Ride in it. You’ll
realize that it is truly a new automobile value.
