Drivers Can Stop Accidents
Highway accidents arc becoming a matter lor se-
rious consideration in the Valley. There is nowi a
move on loot to take some kind of action that would
lessen the number of crashes. The remedy for the
situation is not necessarily one for the law the
drivers themselves held the key to the situation.
Hardly an accident occurs in which one or both
of the drivers have not violated the lav . If the
drivers keep within the bounds of tne trafiii. rrgula
tions. few accidents would be experienced. There
are not enough traffic officers in Cameron county to
see that the laws arc rigidly enforced. There are only
two operating cn the more than 180 miles of concrete
tn the county. They are supposed to be on duty only-
eight hours a day. However each of them put in
from 12 to 14 hours daily. It is not possible for them
to watch all of this highway.
The drivers should take the matter into their
hands. It Is not necessary that they feel the billy-
stick of the law- hovering over thc.r heads. The traf-
fic laws were made for their own benefit tor their
own protection. It is to their interest that they obey
these laws.
The fly in the ointment however is the Lab'tuaily
reckless and drunken drivers. Many wrecks ha'c
been caused by normally law-abiding citizens trying
to outguess drunken drivers. The Valley is more
susceptible to the weaving antics of cars driven by
drunks than other parts of the state due to the near-
ness of the border.
It is now a common practice to book drunks for
reckless drviing Instead of “driving while under the
Influence of Intoxicating liquor.** The first is a rela-
tively minor offense. The second Is crave in nature
and Is punishable by a term in the penitentiary.
When a drunk gets into a wreck of serious nature
he or sho should be punished as the law prescribes.
Cost of American Militarism
President Homer is said bv Washington correspon-
dents to be disturbed over the cost of the upkeep of
the arms of defense of the public. He has made the
discovery that American expenditures for purely mili-
tary purposes exceed those of any nation of the world.
Expenditures for purely military purpose constitute
one-ha!? of the increase in federal disbursements es-
timated for the nr:.t four years.
Under the estimates so the pmident said to the
correspondent. America will sner.d $803''00.000 upon
the military activities of the war and navy depart-
ment in the fiscal year 1833. an inert use of $120000 -
090 ever th? fiscal year Just closed and of $224 009.990
over the fiscal year 1925.
Of course the president is a Quaker but is he a
pacifist? Now he demands that those who hold the
purse strings shall economise on hte military and
naval expenditure and still maintain adequate de-
fense. Cost of maintaining American sea forces is to
be reduced and the president plans a slashing cut in
army cost.
In the face of all this there is a rumor afloat in
the corridors of the national capital building that
Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald is coming in Oc-
tober. John Bull Is a very wary and very vigilant in-
dividual He may blunder along but when it comes to
diplomacy he knows how to play the game. He is
the director of the world’s greatest empire. He has
been master of the seas for five centuries. “To have
and to hold” has ever been his slogan.
Is He a False Pronhet?
Former Kaiser Wilhelm emerged from oblivion
long enough to predict that should war come the
Chinese w-ould overwhelm the Slavs.
Wilhelm when he was a real kaiser predicted that
Germany would remap the world and that the treaty
of peace would be signed at Windsor castle.
Germany gave battle to the world and lost.
As a prophet Wilhelm w-as thoroughly discredited
which is a reminder that the builders of the republic
of Germany are represented on tiie seven seas again
and one of their new passenger palaces the Bremen
has broken the world's record in a trial trip from a
German port to the port of New- York.
After 12 years of pcare the new merchant marine
of Germany is said to be second on the seven seas.
A marvelous comeback.
NEW YORK Aug. 3.—The highest priced piece oi
land in New York is a plot at the intersection of Wall
street and Broadway It's assessed at $30000 a front
foot.
The highest priced apartment is a suite in the
new Dclmonico hotel. The rental is $45000 a year.
The most luxurious office is one of several that
cost more than $250000 to furnish.
• • • •
MAGNIFICENCE
Bigger and finer apartments and oflices are con-
stantly poking their noses toward the sky.
Thus it is that the $45000 suite as yet unrented
has but 15 rooms whereas the former top-notcher
renting for $36000 a year has 18 rooms. Both are
of course on Park avenue.
It is doubtful whether the name of the tenant who
takes the triplex apartment on the topmost floors of
the 32-story Dclmonico will ever be publicly an-
nounced. For even those who occupy the swankiest
suites in town dislike to have the size of their rent bill
generally known.
But whoever he is. he will have a complete town
house up in the clouds.
The arrangement of rooms in such a lofty mansion
is the reverse of that in mast private homes. The
living room is on the top floor and is 45 feet long and
17 feet wide with 18-foot ceilings. On the floor be-
low arc library dming room kitchen and butler's
pantry. On the thirtieth floor are the bedrooms and
nursery.
This apartment will scarcely be finer than some
o? the new office suites in midtown which nowadays
have Roman baths drinking bars for customers and
cigar closets secreted behind sliding panels in the
walls.
The outfitting of such offices has become a spe-
cialized form of interior decoration and one designer.
C. H. Hegcman says it is not unusual for a corpora-
tion to spend $250.0(W on the decoration of a single
floor. Exact figures are seldom divulged even to the
company’s directors who might prefer larger divi-
dends and less costly fixtures.
Yet even at that price almost everything from
floor to ceiling may simulate more expensive mate-
rials. For instance wood is often used but it must
be fire-proofed which adds a third more to tkr cost.
The customary wall covering therefore is concrete
grained stained and w-nxed to give a wood effect.
Marble is likewise imitated and even the “leather”
chairs are likely to be covered with the same material
as automobile tops.
ART
Symbolism in office hardware and mural decora-
tions is another development. For example a great
corporation may have moulded into the grilled iron
doors of its reception room a cogwheel motif or mus-
cular arms holding aloft the hammers of industry.
Realistic symbols are avoided however. l"st they
become outmoded. A travel agency who e walls were
trimmed to represent transportation through the ages
had the entire design painted out because in a few
years the single-motored plane in the picture might
be obsolete.
From which it seems an interior decorator's life Is
net always a bed of rose chintz.

Lottie’s New Husband
Lottie Pickford has celebrated her third marriage.
Her first husband was an actor. She divorced him.
Her second husband was a writer and a financier.
She divorced him. Her third husband is an under-
taker. Now ring down the curtain. A tombstone
manufacturer may be the fourth.
Very temperamental are some of the ladies of the
silver screen. Very temperamental are some of the
playwrights of the English speaking world.
Eugene O'Neil lias taken unto himself a third wife.
His first and second divorced him. Tie was very tem-
permental. they said and ever longed for the free-
dom that is sakl to bless the life of a man who travels
alone.
Tandem marriage appears to be more popular than
companionate marriage. This is said to be the age of
the second chancer the third chancer and the fourth
I chancer. They create sob tales for the sob sisters and
; go. sip for the gossip mongers.
Rockefeller Money Won the Prize
John D Rockefeller .Jr. purchased Jean Antoine
Houdin’s famous bust of George Washington made In
1785 at Mount Vernon and the price paid was $253.-
000. For more than a century the bust had been in
th™ possession of the Locker-Lanson family of Eng-
j land. Many attempts have been made by Americans
to regain the historic monument. More than a cen-
tury ago it was taken to England by a Tory mem-
ber of the family. Now the billionaire son of the
ft under of the Standard Oil company is the owner of
the bust which will be presented to some American
museum. Why not to the Mount Vernon hall of
; fame?
Dig Up the Dusty Stock
Wall street says millions of dollars worth of long
neglected railroad stock are being coaxed from durty
corners by the rising momentum of new public in-
terest in the earning ability of the American railways.
It is admitted that the O'Fallon decision by the su-
preme court of the United States which held out the
hope of a higher valuation for railroad property start-
ed the dusty corner movement. Farmers who are
clamoring for relief should dive into dusty corners of
their domiciles. In the days of affluence they may
! have invested in railroad stocks and then neglected
I their securities.

''BE NOT DRUNKEN WITH
WINE .WHEREIN IS RIOT.”
Ephesians 5:18
By PR. ALVIN E. BELL
Daniel who was a youth of nine-
teen years at the time he was car-
ried away from Jerusalem to Baby-
lon is. at the time of our lesson an
old man cf eighty-even years. For
nearly forty years he has held a
very obscure position under the
that Belshazzar seems almost ignor-
ant of him. despite Daniel's influ-
ence at court in that earlier day.
The folly of Babylon's dissolute
ruler may be noted in the fact that
although his capital was being be-
sieged at that very time by the
armies of the rising power of Per-
sia. yet Belshazzar was staging a
drunken carousal in the palace
with a thousand of his lords r.nd
princes and the dissolute women of
the court. Net satisfied with physi-
cal debauchery the governor re-
-ort-'d to blasphemy of rcsec rating
‘he saere i vessels of Jehovah which
Nebuchadnezzar had brought from
the temple at Jerusa em. drinking
wine from them to his heathm gods
to defy and mock the God of Heav-
en whom Nebuchadnezzar had
learned to fear and reverence.
The Hand-Writing
Suddenly in the midst of the rev-
elrv and mockery and debauchery
there apneared on the wall of the
banquet hall the likeness of a man's
hand writing in letters of fire which
dazzled and terrified the revelers
whh their brilliance and mystery.
"Then the king's countenance was
chanced and his thoughts troubled
him. so that the joints of his loins
were loosed and his knees smote
one against another.” Thus the tune
chances when those who mock God
in their revelry are brought sudden-
ly to hace IPs presence. The cour-
age of blasphemv is soon turned
into cowardice. Infidelity does not
stand up under strain.
After seeking in vain for some
solution of the mysterious hand-
writing frem the astrologers and
wise men. the queen who was prob-
ably Eolsharzer's mother and the
daughter of Ncbuchadezzar remind-
ed her tcrr.ficd son of the aged Dan-
iel and the wisdom he had display-
ed at the court of her father. So
the prophet is sent for as some
folks s-md for the preacher today
who have no use for him at other
times.
So the venerable prophet steps
with calm dignity before the terror-
strlken king and his fellow reevl-
crs. and spurning his offers of rich
reward agrees to interpret the let-
ters of fire which still stand like a
modern electric sign upon the wall
Very frankly and fearlessly Dan-
iel reminded the king of Jehovah’s;
dealing with his grandfather Neb- |
urhadnezzar in raising him to pow-
er above all other nations and how
"when his heart was lifted up. and
his mjnd hardened in pride he was
deposed from his ktr.gly throne. nr"i
his glory taken from him” by send-
ing upon him some affliction giv-
ing him the obsession that he was a
beast end making him want to art
and live like a beast for a l^eriod of
| perhaps seven years after which his
reason was restored and he glori-
fied Jehovah.
In the light of such a familv his-
tory Belshezzar s b’asphemv and
sacrilege were the less excusable j
and the time had come for God to
pronounce his doom and proceed
to execute judgment. So. DaniPl in-
terprets the handwriting: ’’Mrne:!
God hath numbered thy kingdom
and finished it. Teke: Thoti are
weighed in the balances and are
found wanting. Peres: Thy kinedom
is divided and given to the Medc'-
and Persians. . . . dTint night
was Belshazzar the king of the Chal- !
deans slain and Darius the Median
took tb« kingdom”
Hand-WrUlne for T>
There is nothing tmioue about
Belshazzar’s fate cxccot the visible
finger of fire. Drunkenness de-
bauchery and defiance of God have
brought the j?me results to nation'
and to indiviidumls. high and low
through ell ages. America’s present
unparalleled prosperity is her great-
est peril and her severest trial. If
this property is not safeguarded by
niety and sobriety we nay sec the
hand-writing of God pronouncing
divine judgment upon our impiety
and intemperance.

COTTON TESTS
RESULTS TOLD
Short Course Speaker Names
Varieties Producing
Most Lint
COLLFGE STATION. Aug. 3 —
Short to medium staple varieties
of cotton have in most cases pro-
duced the largest yields of lint in
tests conducted at the different
substation of the Texas agricultural
experiment station D. T. Killough
cotton breeder of the experiment
station set forth in addressing the
farm crops section at the farmers’
short course at the A. A: M. col-
lege of Texas Friday afternoon. Mr
Killough cited results of variety test
experiments conducted at the Main
station here and at substations lo-
cated at Becvillc Angelton and
Beaumont in the gull coastal plaun
region: at Nacogdoches and Troup
in East Texas; at Temple and Den-
ton in central and North Texas
at Chillicothe and Iowa Park in
northwest Texas; at nubbcck and
Spur in the south plains region of
West Texas; at Balmorhea in the
irrigated section of extreme West
Texas; and at Wrslaco in the low-
er Rio Grande Valley.
Half-and-half variety for exam-
ple. which produced lint only 3-1-
inch in length was the highest'
yielding variety in the tests at Nac-
ogdcchcs. Troup Denton Chilli-!
cothe end Spur he went on to sa;. i
“On account of its short staple j
however half-and-half is undesir-
able. since lint 3-4-inch in length
is not trnderable on future con-
tracts and is therefore not deliver-
able cn tire central or staple mar-
kets.
“A number of medium staple var-
ieties. having lint 15-16 to 1 1-6 J
inches m length produced satisfac-
tory yields in virtually all of the
tests. Since the lint of certain of
these varieties is longer than the
lint of half-and-half they would
no doubt be as profitable to grow
! as half-and-half and in some case.
probably more profitable* if ade-
1 cpiate premiums for the longer sta
pie cotton were paid the grower.
’ Some of the longer staple varie-
' tics which have a lint of I 1-8 to
1 1-4 inches in length cer among |
the highest yielding varieties in the
tests at Angleton Beaumont and
Nacogdoches. In the central and j
western portions oi the state how- |
ever the longer staple varieties
have not gent rally produced the
1 highest yields.*’
