Tells of Hardship
in Making Film
SALT LAKE CITY, July 1.—(/P)
—Delbert Green, beady-eyed triple
slayer, lost today in his “last move”
to escape a Utah firing squad. He
will be shot July 10.
The state board of pardons flatly
refused to commute the 28-year-old
killer’s sentence to life imprison-
ment.
Attorneys said there would be no
further move in Green’s behalf.
Thus apparently was concluded a
six-year legal battle in which the
convict twicq won stays as he trem-
bled in his death cell on the eve of
scheduled execution.

DALLAS, July l.—(/P)—Implied
criticism from a board of arbitra-
tion failed to swerve 500 striking
taxicab drivers today in . their de-
mands for a closed shop.
Nearly 300 cabs operated by the
city’s five major companies remain-
ed idle in their garages. A sixth and
smaller concern did a land-office
business with its 26 cars after com-
ing to terms with the strikers, who
called their third strike since May
27 Monday night.
Despite the arbitration board’s
stand, strike leaders declared the
walkout would continue “until all
the companies have met the de-
mands of the union for a closed
shop and fair working conditions.”
The board issued a statement
saying: “The committee on arbi-
tration \pent the better part of ten
days in going completely into the
affairs of the taxicab situation. By
agreement of both operators and
drivers their decision was to be fi-
nal. The committee increased the
drivers’ pay from 25 to 33 1-3 per
cent, decided many other things in
favor of the drivers, but did not
find for the closed shop.
“The drivers claim the operators
have violated some of the agree-
ments. Their grievance not called to
the attention of the board.”

WASHINGTON, July 1—MH
The White House said today thatj
President Roosevelt had disapprov-
ed a bill whiach would have ex-
empted puiblicly-ovtned interstate
highway bridges from state, muni-
cipal and local taxation.
Another bill disapproved would
have enabled the states to take
over a number of toll bridges and
make them into free bridges.
In giving- his reasons for not.
signing the taxation measure, the
president said:
“The effect of this bill would be,
thit/ by declaring publicly owned
interstate highway bridges to be
Federal instrumentalities, such
bridges would thereby be exempt
from all state and local taxa-
tion.
FORT SMITH, Ark., July 1.—(A3)
—Two Fort Smith officers were
wounded and a negro tentatively
identified as a preachei* named Ev-
ans was shot to death on the north-
east edge of the city shortly before
noon today as the officers attempt-
ed to arrest him for creating a dis-
turbance.
Chief of Detectives Jack McDow-
ell lost the thumb and first finger
of his right hand • when they were

The negro was shot to death by
a posse of city and county officers
after he had taken refuge in the
nearby home of an aged negro wo-
man.
Heavy Showers
Fall in Denton
Heavy showers were falling in
Denton Wednesday afternoon, the
first in several weeks, a misting
rain fell for a time early Wednes-
day, but litle precipitatiion was
recorded until afternoon.
The rain marked the advent of
July, after one of the driest Junes
ever known here. Much rain is
needed to revive pastures, bring up
late-planted crops and promote the
growth of cotton, Some corn prob-
ably will be benefited, although
most of the crop has been bad-
ly damaged.

Mrs. G. B. Gant of Denton un-
derwent a minor operation in the

ing.
Miss Mary Hale, student in the
Teachers College here, sustained a
gash on the back of the head
which required several stitches to
close when she was sitruck by the
fender Of an automobile and
knocked to the pavement Tuesday
night on the court square.
Traffic was heavy and Miss Hale
was said to have stepped from be-
hind passing cars. Officers who in-
vestigated said the car which struck
her was driven by Gerron Smith,
that it was traveling slowly and
that the accident appeared to have
been unavoidable. Miss Hale was
taken to the Teachers College hos-
pital by Officer Leon Hannah.
“The true purpose of this picture
insofar as my producing it is con-
cerned, is to reveal to a perhaps
Unsuspecting American audience
the atrocities and barbaric prac-
tices indulged in by peoples of
various parts of the world who,
with a distorted conception of the
true meaning of religion, are plac-
ing a definite millstone about the
neck of their posterity and per-
petuating certain obstructions to
world wide civilization,’’ said R.
C. Butard, in charge Of produc-
tion for R. C. B. Pictures. “After
more than two years research worx,
I elected to dedicate this effort
to the unselfish and untiring vigi-
lance of ministers and mission-
aries in adhering to their calling,
many who jeopardized their own
physical wellbeing in order that
their messages might be dissemi-
nated to the remotest and dark-
est parts of the world.
“ ‘Scars of Culture’ is designed
to bring a message to the people
land at the same time reveal civi-
lization’s struggle for progress. In
the physical making of the pic-
ture, nothing is more important
than the story of hardships en-
dured by cameramen and their
crew.

Social Relations
The part the road may play in
American-Mexican social relations
was emphasized last night at a ban-
quet by General Hay. He told of-
ficials of both countries the road
would blend all the races of North
and South America in bonds! of sin-
cere friendship.
Matias de Llano, Laredo capital-
ist and master of ceremonies at
the banquet, said of the highway:
“It contributes to closer con-
tacts and understanding, carrying
out the good neighbor policy ex-
pounded by President'Roosevelt and
strongly supported by President La-
zaro Cardenas of Mexico.”
Garner, congressmen and diplo-
matic officials failed to arrive in
time for the banquet. Their train
was slowed by the washout of a
bridge near San Antonio.
Harpei- Sibley, president of the
Chamber of Commerce of the Unit-
ed States, declared the highway
would open new avenues of trade
and create employment and closer
relations between the two countries.
Americans listed for participation
in the ceremonies today included
Senators Tom Connally of Texas,
Chavez of New Mexico, and William
Gibbs McAdoo of California; W. P.

of Texas, and William Blocker, new
consul to Monterrey.

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif., July
1.—(A3)—A stubborn brush and tim-
ber fire which blackened 1,000
acres on the north slope of the San
Bernardino mountains burned under
control today.
After a four-day battle, foresters
encircled the blaze in the Pawpit
Canyon-Cajon Mountain area with
1,000 men. Two hundred fresh re-
cruits from Sequoia and Sierra Na-
tional Forests strengthened the fire
lines.
Six other fires which broke out
in the region yesterday were quick-
ly checked. Five were blamed1 on lo-
comotive sparks on the Santa Fe
railroad right of way.

In this country we are inclined
to place the accent on love and
to believe that love is the only rea-.
son for marriage. .
Many young couples, so in love
that they believe life not worth
living apart, have made the dis-
covery that it was not worth living
together! Many people, not vio-
lently in love at first, have dis-
covered that love has overtaken
cnem in their journey towaia •*.
self-respecting, useful life.
Almost anyone, even the ro-
mantist, will admit that when peo-
ple are drawn into marriage, the
tenderness, consideration, mutual
interesest and the hundred and
one little ties that bind a man
and woman together may lead them
into true love.
Cooler in South
ATLANT At July 1.—(A3)—Cooler-
weather spread into the parched
south today but the section was far
from comfortable.
A general lowering of tempera-
tures was noted by weather ob-
servers from the Upper Mississippi
Valley across to the Georgia and
Carolina coast.
Western Louisiana and Eastern
Texas, however, were the only areas
reporting general rains yesterday.
As the heat wave moved east-
ward yesterday, Richmond, Va.,
felt its full force with 104 de-
grees. Other high temperatures re-
ported included 100 at Chattanoo-
ga, Tenn., 98 at Nashville, and 96

Hardships Endured /
“After having heard solicited de-
scriptions from travelers, explorers,
missionaries and many others with
regard to the sacrificing by fire
of a young girl as part of the “Doo-
Doo’ ceremony, a band of picture
men started the production of
‘Scars of Culture,’. Cameramen,
their helpers, and the loyalty Of the
safety, we were enabled to walk
many miles through untrod wil-
derness day after day in hope of
procuring the one ‘take’ which we
most desired but never got. This
ceremony wherein the young girl
is placed upon a pyre and burned
to death is conducted by a witch
doctor whose decree it is said
must not be disputed.
“In the picture are shown actual
African ceremonies which were!
filmed only after we had endured
the most excruciating phyiscal
hardships. Despite all this effort
and sacrifice in personal comfort,
we were denied the filming of the
girl’s being sacrificed. However, we
reproduced this scene months later
in the studio in order that the pic-
ture might have the desired ef-
fect.
“The cult of ‘Fire Walkers’ is
more commonly known and is found
in India. We have hundreds of
feet of film of their ceremonies and
much of it is used in “Scars of
Culture.’ Thousands of natives sitn-
ply walk leisurely through hot coals
more than ankle deep. One of the
horrors Of this ceremony is the
participation of young mothers with
baby in arn^s. The Juggernaut!
ceremony is also found in mysteri-
ous India. This is perhaps the
most auspicious and astounding
incident in all cultism.”
The picture is showing at the
Ritz Theater July 1-4.

LAREDO, July 1.—(^)—Old Mex-
ico, ancient and proud, today offer-
ed its mightiest engineering ac-
complishment, the $17,000,000 Pan-
American Highway from the border
here to Mexico City.
To mark the formal opening the
hand-hewn Highway, completed af-
ter a decade of arduous toil, high
officials of the Mexican and United
States gathered here today.
Vice President John Garner led
the American delegation and Gen.
Eduardo Hay, Mexico’s secretary of
foreign affairs, represented Mexico
in ceremonies to take place today
on the international bridge span-
ning the Rio Grande.
After the ceremonies, the Amer-
icans were to be guests of the Mex-
ican officials on a trip over the
highway to Mexico City. Vice Presi-
dent Garner was to go as far as
Monterrey.
The Pan-American Highway is no
ordinary road, and Mexico counts
on that fact to lure an increasing
number of Americans, and their dol-
lars, into the southern republic. The
highway is laid through a region of
scenic grandeur. It was literally
blasted out of the sides of tower-
ing mountains and along rugged
valleys.
WALVOORDS MOVE TO

111,487. Figures show an increase of

WHARTON, July 1.—(A3)—Whar-
ton County and the state resumed
efforts today to increase the tax
valuation of the Texas Gulf Sulphur
Company’s properties in the coun-
ty.
Protesting the county’s move and
contending that sulphur in place
was only a potential value, the
county called witnesses at the open-
ing of the hearing yesterday in an
effort to prove its claim its rendi-
tion of around $15,000,000 was fair
and adequate.
E. L. Looney, attorney for the
county, and victor Bouldin, repre-
senting the state, offered testimony
today in support of their claim the
valuation should be increased.
Looney examined the company’s
books before the hearing was set.
The county sought to increase the
declared valuation of approximate-
ly $15,000,000 made on all the prop-
erties, including that of sulphur in
place, the item under dispute.
George F. Zoffman, mining ex-
pert and president of the Duval Sul-
phur Company, testified that in his
opinion 'an increased valuation on
sulphur in place was not warrant-
ed.

TRUE LOVE LATER
The quept ,for an
couple who can be called
ideal married couple” isc like Di-
ognese’ search for an honest man.
The marriage poll, on which was
based the selection of this “ideal
couple” was participated in re-
cently by approximately 45,000 peo-
ple in all parts of the country and
was conducted by a well-known
magazine. The married lives of Mr.
and Mrs. McDonnell of Gainesville,
Fla., were found to conform closest
to the nationally voted ideal.
- As far as i know this is the firs!
poll ever taken to determine pop-
ular oponion on the factors con-
stituting such an ideal marriage
The major conditions specified
for marriage and as found ex-
emplified in the married lives of
Mr. and Mrs. McDonnell, were:
Get Right Mate
Marriage at 25 for the man
and at 21 for the woman; children
—either two or three (the Mc-
Donnells have two); religious unity
of husband and wife; religious
training for children; a husband
possessing the characteristics of
ambition, devotion and affection,
and a good disposition; a wife pos-
session the characteristics of neat-
ness, devotion and affection and
outside ' social relations; a home
independent of relatives or in-
laws; good personal appearance
of husband and wife; good meals
and an attractive home; a non-wage
earning wife and one who doesn’t
interfere in her husband’s business
affairs; and reasonable financial se-
curity (minimum income of $1,450
annually).
Regarding the personal views
held by Mr. and Mrs. McDonnell
on this question of happy marri-
age, they are quoted , in part, as
follows:
“An ideal marriage and a happy
home should be the goal of every-
one. Marriage is a sacred institu-
tion and every person entering into
this relationship should do some
serious thinking beforehand.
Marriage for instance, should not
be considered as a gamble that
can be wiped out by the divorce
court at the first sign of disagree-
ment—it’s a high order Of business
partnership . .
“The most important factor in
marriage is to have the right mate
—to be really happy, a couple must
found their life on mutual love
and respect. They must not be
blinded by mere physical attrac-
tion, wealth or social position.
Love must be for the person alone
with his little faults and manner-
isms and it should be unselfish and
self sacrificing. A husband and
wife should be well-mated, physi-
cally, mentally and spiritually. It
takes all three for an ideal mar-
riage—one without the others will
mean weak links in the chain
and trouble will follow . : and
every couple should have children
They are a spiritual experience
which no married man and woman
should miss.’’
Some Will Dissent
There will be some dissenting
voices from those who are inclined
to look upon marriage less serious-
ly. Marriages of convenience are
common. They are still regarded
a European custom. For in the
older countries, many reasons other
than mutual attractions, are con-
sidered sufficient for marriage.
