Yes, a home is seasoned with smiles and tears, mellow-
ed by memories and flavored with hopes. Each room
has well-loved articles that have grown dearer with the
years. And there are new things that you are working
and planning for. It may be an occasional table for the
living-room. New drapes for the breakfast nook. A
summer rug. Porch and lawn furniture.

And this is the “They All Laughed” number from “Shall
We Dance”, the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers current co-
starring picture. It is a fast-stepping fox-ti*ot set in a night
club set. Fred and Ginger dance, and Ginger sings. Give us a
new title for “They All Laughed”—something catchy, orig-
inal, something that in your opinion the public would remem-
♦ber. George and Ira Gershwin wrote the music and lyrics for
“Shall We Dance”, which has a background of Paris, trans- ,
atlantie liner, New York and environs, and features such ex-
cellent comedians as Eric Blore and Edward Everett Horton
and America’s premier ballerina, Harriet Hoetor. “Shall We
Dance”, Fred and Ginger’s latest picture opens at the Mil-
ler’s Theatre tomorrow.

United Press Staff Correspondent
Austin, July 24 (UP)—That pecu-
liar quirk in the law concerning the
prohibition situation of Houston
Heights has again begun to tickle
capital city barristers.
Notice of the situation came about
when the Supreme Court of Texas
decided to grant a writ of error on a
Gglveston court of civil appeals rul-
ing.
Back in 1012 Houston was far from
the sprawling metropolis that is now
the largest pity in the largest state.
Already, though, symptoms of great-
ness were beginning to pop out like
pimples on an adolescent.
Such a pimple—not at all unsightly
but nonetheless evident—was Hous-
ton Heights. The Heights represent-
ed an obstreperous child Itself, and
for a time threatened to be a husky
rival,to Due-To-Be-BIg Houston.
The meeting and merger was in-
evitable.
In 1912, however, six years before
the merger came about, citizens of
Houston Heights voted a prohibition
ticket and a local option election re-
vealed the town very dry indeed.
Big Houston, however, felt no
qualms about allowing a few ban to
dot its business area so long as the ■'
boys kept the choruses low. j
when the absorption of the Heights
good qne.iie has defended organized
labor upon occasion without being un-
just and creating enmity among capi-
tal. Among his other qualities, Loo-
ney is a keen wit.
Last week Lieut IGovernor Walter
Woodul issued a statement to the press
that despite the fact there had been
rumors to the effect that he would
run for Governor and no matter what
happened during .the next year, he
most emphatically was not going to
be a candidate for the Governorship
but would run for the attorney-gen-
eralship. This was more or less gen- i
erally conceded.
This week Looney issued a State-
ment that ran almost parallel to Wo-
dul’s and said:
“I, too, wish to make emphatic de-
nial that I am a candidate for Gover-
nor. The competition In that race is
■ too rough.
. "My heart is set, as it has been
for some time, upon another great
office. Regardless of what may be
said to the contrary or what might
happen between now and the time
when the sap begins to-rise, I will not
be a candidate in 1938 for any office
except attorney general. ' .',

Automobile Thieves
Turn To Old Cars
Houston, July 24 (UP)—Automo-
bile thieves are turning from shiny i
new models to cars creaking with
age, police, report, because of soaring
scrap iron prices resulting from for-
eign construction and’ armament pro-
grams,
A small 1924 model car nets the |
thief about $50 when broken up and j
sold to junk dealers piece by piece. I
it was estimated.
