HOLLYWOOD, Calif., July 15.—
(£>)—A man, not a woman, lists the
most valuable jewels among Holly-
wood’s movie stars.
Harold Lloyd is the man.
Norma Shearer admits first place
with jewels among actresses.
Charles Chaplin is the wealthiest
star. Mary Pickford is the wealthi-
est actress.
Joan Crawford ranks next to Nor-
ma Shearer with jewels.
Both Tom Mix and Joe E. Brown
have more jewelry than Diamond
Lil Mae West.
These are some of the facts writ-
ten into the year’s records of the
county tax collector.
The comedian with the horn-
rimmed glasses, Lloyd, also ranks
as the greatest realty holder in the
county among movie stars, as well
as having the most valuable furni-
ture. His furniture assessment is
$75,000, that being merely a part of
its value.
Jewelry assessments on the tax
list include Harold Lloyd $30,000,

M. C. Lewis, capital poundmaster,
comes forward with a word in de-
fense of dog-catchers. He claims to
be a pal to lost pets.
“I’ve reunited more children and
their dogs than any other man in
town and brought great happiness
through my work,” he said.
“By getting rid of the mongrels,
most of them diseased and likely to
contaminate good dogs, we protect
not only fine animals, but children
who might be victims of rabies.”
Half of the 3,000 dogs passing
through the pound are reclaimed
by their owners. Fine dogs unre-
claimed never are killed, but are
given to persons who provide good
homes.

X/OU don’t have to take an Oldsmobile on faith. You
can get proof and double proof that Oldsmobile
gives you more for your money. First, put Oldsmobile
through its paces. Your own experience will convince
you that Oldsmobile performs, handles and rides “like
a million.” Second, check Oldsmobile’s complete list
of fine-car features against what other cars have to
offer. You will find that Oldsmobile gives you every-
thing you want, from Knee-Action Wheels and Super-
Hydraulic Brakes to Body by Fisher, with Solid-Steel
“Turret-Top.” And in Oldsmobile, remember, all these
advantages are yours at a price but a little above the
lowest. That is why, when you drive and com-
pare, you will discover that Oldsmobile is a better buy.

The insulated oven on a modern gas
range with its automatic heat control
makes possible a cooler kitchen. Heat is
kept inside the oven—where it belongs
—-to do more cooking on the same
amount of gas. Automatic heat control
does away with peeking into a hot oven
to check progress of baking or roasting.
Just set the dial, and without watching,
your food will be cooked to a queen’s

from the sheriff’s office. Monday
Judge George P. Elbert will set the
civil trial docket, Tuesday the civil
appearance docket, consisting of
new cases, filed since the last call-
ing of the docket. Criminal cases
will probably be set for the third
week of the term.
Those called for jury duty the
opening week are: N. H. Arrington

It noted/ he was entitled to a league
of land in Stephen F. Austin’s col-
ony and expressed a desire to leave
it and other property to a sister.
“It might be better perhaps for
her to let the lapd lay awhile,” he
said, “as it would prove more valu-

B. D. Sartin of Wichita: Falls
appeared before a Denton jaudi-
enc:e Tuesday night in his second (
public address here, speaking in j
behalf of his race for Congress ,
from this 13th district, scored the
present incumbent. W. D. McFar-
lane, and urged his own program
as suited to the needs of the eco-
nomic distress of today. .
Sartin, endorsed by the local ,
Townsend Club, stressed the far-
mer’s need of government help and -
said “without doubt some plan
must be devised to place agricul-
ture on a parity with industry.”
Each farmer should be allotted
his proportionate part of the do-
mestic demand. for staple crops,
and the Federal government should
pay a bounty from the tariff rev-
enues to give farm products a
parity price, the speaker advanced
as an essential feature of his pro-
gram. The demand should be al-
lotted by states, then by individ-
uals within states, though no re-
striction should be put on crops
the farmer wishes to raise and
offer on a foreign market, Sar-
tin argued.
If the farmers of America are
made prosperous the depression
and problems of unemployment)
will be solved,” he decared.
Adequate pensions for the old
aged were again stressed by the
candidate and in this connection
he criticized McFarlane’s vote on
the social Security Bill, saying that
measure does not provide comfort-
able support for thfe aged.
He also rapped McFarlane’s sup-
port of the AAA, terming destruc-
tion of food and feedstuffs wrong |
in principle and practice and took
issue with the incumbent on labor
wages, claiming the relief bill sup-
ported by the congressman is un-
fair to Southern workmen.

CHICAGO, July 15.—(/P)—The 1936
drought may burn consumers’ purses
for months, a comprehensive survey
of farm commodities markets indi-
cated today, though it concentrated
its destruction of American food
supplies into a period of a few
weeks.
The crop scourage, speeding the
sharp rise of wholesale food prices,
a major factor in the cost of living,
already has been mirrored at retail
counters and now is dipping into
housewives’ budget.
Behavior of the markets, authori-
ties declared, suggested the breaking
of the drought would bring at best
only modest and perhaps only tem-
porary relief to city consumers who
will pay their portion of widespread
agricultural damage in higher food
costs at least until depleted supplies
have been augmented.
Quick Price Reflection
The telling blow of the drought
found almost immediate reflection
in the sensitive prices of dairy pro-
duce—milk, butter, cheese, and the
like. Though lower meat prices gave
consumers a “breathing spell,”
market analysts forecast the effect
of crop destruction would appear • in
meat values in the future, when em-
ergency drought marketing of live-
stock was ended.
A survey of retail markets indi-
cated milk prices in many cities had
been raised, in some’cases as much
as a cent a quart, as! a result of the
drought. Prices to producers, whose
output was cut as much as 25 per
cent, were boosted. Cream values al-
so were raised. '
Butter at most retail counters was
higher. Wholesale prices for butter
at the major markets were near the
highest July levels in six years. Re-
tail butter in Chicago was quoted up
to 42 cents a pound.
Best quality eggs were higher in
some centers but on the whole mar-
ket quotations and eggs showed
little * change in the past month.
Poultry sold lower slightly, largely
because the drought hastened mar-
keting by raising feed costs.

WASHINGTON, July 15.—(T)—
By jamming down a brake, the Fed-
eral Reserve Board figured today
it had gone far to prevent any run-
away credit inflation.
The board, acting under powers
conferred on it by Congress in 1935,
announced that reserve require-
ments for Federal Reserve member
banks would be increased 50 per
cent beginning Aug. 15.
The effect of this action was to
nail down ,a sizeable portion of
the $3,000,000,000' in excess bank
reserves, to prevent it from being
used for credit expansion.
The board ruled /that in the Cen-
tral Reserve cities of Chicago and
New York the portion Of demand
deposits which must be held in re-
serve shall be boosted from 13 to
19 1-2 per cent. At banks in re-
serve cities the rate is increased
from 10 to 15 per cent, arifi at
other member banks from 7 to
10 1-2 per cent. The requirement
on time deposits at all banks will
be increased from 3 to 4 1-2 per
cent. i
At present, the banks have re-
serves which are about $3,000,000,-
000 in excess of legal requirements.
By the simple device Of increasing
the legal requirements, the board
cuts the excess reserves.
Monetary experts figure that the
$3,000,000,000 could be used as the
basis for credit expansion, of $30,-
000,000,000 or more, unless it were
reduced sharply.
Marriner S. Eccles, chairman of
the Federal Reserve Board, said
the $3,000,000,000 should be cut to
about $1,900,000,000 on Aug. 14.

Tax records in the office of Comp-
troller George H. Sheppard reveal
some things about the life of prom- McBee,
inent early Texans.
Records from Harris valued at
$1,000 and 15 acres of land valued
at $1,000. He was assessed a tax of
$3 on a negro slave.
That was in 1839 when Houston
was at the height of his career.
Harris County before that year had
been known as Harrisburg County.
While taxes in those days were
relatively low, Sheppard said, pen-
alties were high. Records show fre-
quent payments of double taxes
when the tax payer had been delin-
quent no more than a year.
l Summoned CAPITAL JIGSAW
By HOWARD C. MARSHALL
AUSTIN, July 15.—(/P)—Of the 204
persons who> took the state medical
examination in the House of Repre-
sentatives chamber recently, 13 were
women, the largest number in any
Texas class.
Most of the women candidates for
licenses to practice medicine, offi-
cials said, intended to specialize in
diseases of women and children.
Ages of the candidates averaged
between 25 and 26 years, which was
said to be slightly older than in
some past years, due probably to
increased pre-medical study re-
quirements.
President L. H. Hubbar^ and
W. M. Loveiess returned yesterday
from Austin where they attended
meetings of the Board of Regents
and the Advisory Council for in-
stitutions of higher learning July
13.
Mrs. M. H. Hagaman Of Ranger,
a member of the Board of Re-
gents of the State College for Wo-
men, served on the Advisory Coun-
cil in the absence of J. K. Brim
of Sulphur Springs, who was ap-
pointed to the place. The council
met July 11 and adopted two res-
olutions, which were recommended
to the State Board of Education,
and approved at their joint meet-
ing with the council July 13.
One resolution provides for the
adoption of the policy making
lump sum. appropriations to all
ijatei Supported institutions of
higher learning. The other recom-
mends that the appropriation bill
for the next biennium be drawn up
to encompass the norm of $175
for each full time student regis-
tered in the junior, senior and
graduate ranks, exclusive of all
student fees.
These resolutions are now sub-
ject to the approval of the Board
of Control, and the legislative and
executive branches of the state
■ government.

Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Fowler were

Rev. M. C. Sootei* was in Deca-

CTHE people of Wallachia and
Moldavia had asserted them-
selves, and so the great powers,
in 1859, permitted them to unite
in a new country called Rumania.
The new nation elected a liberal
leader — Prince Alexander John
Cuza—who no sooner took the
throne than he instituted reforms.
He tried to institute a school sys-
tem, but soon met with opposi-
ffon of the nobility. He tried to
free the peasants from serfdom
and was opposed by the legisla-
ture.
Taking things into his own
hands, Cuza dissolved the legisla-
ture and assumed the role of be-
nevolent despot. That meant war
between him and the landlords.
After a campaign of vilification
and intrigue, Cuza felt his con-
trol slipping. One cold night in
February, 1866, a group of con-
spirators entered the palace and,
at the point of a
gun, forced him to
resign.
