i :THE ROBSTOWN DIFFERENTIAL
An examiner of the Interstate Com-
merce Commission will come to Texas to
hear arguments pro and con regarding the
removal ol the Robstown differential.
When the Texas hearing will be held is
not known at this writing but it appears
certain that it will be held in the compara-
tively near future.
With the hearing definitely assured the
Valley’s ta«k is but begun.
Facts and figures are the weapons that
will win the fight. Oratory will avail
nothing. Broad and general arguments
will avail nothing. Expert testimony on
rates experts arguments on rates com-
parisons with those charged in other sec-
tions amount of business done—all these
and a thousand other matters will enter
into the ultimate findings of the Interstate
Commerce commission and the recommen-
dations of its examiner who hears the
Valley case.
More than ten years ago a similar hear-
ing was held in the Valley. Examiner
Disque of the commission heard the Val-
ley’s plea and recommended in our favor
but was partly overruled by the commis-
sion. As a result of that hearing the dif-
ferential was removed entirely on some
classes of freight and lowered materially !
on others. But—and here is the rub—the
attorneys who fought the fight for the
Valley in that instance still remain unpaid.
To properly present the case Qf the
Valley will—of course—require the ser-
vices of a trained and qualified railroad
rate attorney one who knows whereof he
speaks and to whom railroad rates are;
something more than just a pain in the '
neck. He must know the why* and the
wherefores of rales and must be qualified i
hy-experience to properly analyze the j
.Valley’s case.
The services of such a man are going to
cost money. His expenses—and they will
be many—must be met and must be met
with cash. Due to the unfortunate circum-
stances connected with that previous hear-
ing. it appears that any attorney worth
the retaining is going to ask that b'-s fee
and his expense money be raised before
he enters the case.
As a matter of fact we understand that
a Dallus attorney has already offered to
take the case on a contingent fee basis
$7000 if he gets the differential removed
nothing if he fails. But the $7000 must
he in escrow before he lifts a hand.
If the Valley is ready to resume the
Robstown differential fight the Valley
must realize fully that it is largely a mat-1
ter of funds with which to secure the ser-
vices of the proper talent. This is one in-
stance in which money is going to do a
whole lot of talking in fact money is go-
ing to scream.
It is all right to dwell on the sentimental
side of the picture to tell of the hardships
that are being placed on Valley farmers
through the operations of the differential
and all that sort of thing hut those tactics
will not w'in lawsuits and that is what the
matter ha* resolved itself into—a lawsuit
—with the people of the Valley on one side
as plainitffs and the railroads on the other
side as defendants. And never worry but
that the best legal talent available w ill be
arguing on the railroads' side of the table.
Blood Factors Fourid
Key to Parentage
By DR. MORRIS H^UbtlN
Etfitor Journal of (hi American Medical Association
and of Hygeia. the Health Magasinc
Modern science has developed an ingenious method
ol guiding the courts in deciding the true i*rent age ol
children or discovering who comm meed u murder by
means ol examining l^r blood oi thr persona involved
Also in the ease of a blood traiillusion Hus method
is used to see that the blood ol both persona involv-
ed is compatible.
Thu prodigous step in medical science is based on
the existence ot certain dominant (actors 111 the blood.
Before a blood transfusion tests are made not only
to see that no infection is transmitted from one per-
son to the other but to be sure that the blood of both
will mix well.
If the bloods are not of the kind* that will mix
well the blood of one person will cause the red blood
cells of the other to clump together. If this occur-
red within the human body death would follow
promptly.
(• • •
Studies have shown that persons can lx divided into
groups according to the group factors in the blood
and that the blood of certain groups can be mixed
without danger.
By tins blood study it is also known that there is
a tendency to inherit certain characteristics and while
we cannot say from the study of a blood group that a
certain child is the descendent oi a certain father
we can say in some instances that a certain child
could not possibly be the descendant ot a certain man
The blood consists ot a liquid part called plasma and
the red cells or corpuscias. The plasma contains a
substance called agglutinin which when it comes in
contact with corpuscles of a certain kind lumps them
together or agglutinates them.
The corpuscles also contain a substance called ag-
glutinogen when enables them to be clumped when
they are acted cm by the right kind of plasma.
• • •
There arc two kinds of agglutinins in the plasma;
These have been called *a” and **b.** There are also
two kind? of agglutinogens in the corpuscles which
are called * A” and *'B"
Now persons may have in tiieir blood various com-
binations of these agglutinins and agglutinogens lor
instance agglutinin “a * can combine with agglutin-
ogen “A and cause the corpuscle* to chimp. It may
not. however affect corpuscles winch contain Agglu-
tinogen B.
After many thousands ol people were studied It wa*
discovered that all human beings can be divided into
groups according to the agglutinins and agglutinogens
which they have in their blood. It us obviously Im-
passible for any person to have *a’ and “A" m his
blood because his corpuscles would *l once clump
together.
It is however possible to have other combinations
—for example. "A” anti B. '* “A' and *’b * “a'* and
• B ' and a and b ’ This la u-mentioned group of
people have been called O individuals because their
blood cells can never be cluni)*d together.
• # •
A peraou can transfer only one of these factors to
his child. It ihe blood groups to which a child and
one parent belong are known it can be definitely stated
that the other parent must belong to one of certain
groups and cannot possibly belong to certain other
groups If a person whose blood contained *a and
•*b'* factors married a person whose blood contained
•■A" and b ‘ the children could only be “a’ and *b
or A” and b. * It the child contained the factor “B
m its blood it would lie clear that some other person
must have intervened in the conception.
It is also well established that a inoiner with A
and • B" factors in her blood could never produce a child
with "a and "B factor' and similarly a mother with ;
the a’ and -b" factors could never produce a child
with the “A" and ' B ’

NEW YORK Feb. 14. — Taxes on

Taxing units may have to cut on
that.
Reduction In taxes may make pos-
sible another desired reduction —
freight rates which are an indirect
tax.
The decline of railroad stocks and
other securities simply is a baro-
meter of the financial condition of
the majority oi railroad corporations
A 1929 Forecast
Was there any lorecast in 1929 that
was correct?
Here u one concerning railroads
iron* a Wall 6lreel market letter-
a forecast that investors in railroad
securities may desire to tiamc lor
tronic purposes;
"No matter what artificial re-
straints may be placed on the stock
market railway securities are not

extent. Thcrr isn’t a railroad stock

An effort is beuig made to have the
people them .elves vote tn a referen-
dum on the child .abor amendment
to Mie constitution
Thai suggestion arose after the!
New York state senate judiciary
committee smothered without a re-
cord vote the resolution for New
York state to ratify. Thus the legis-
lature was not given an opportunity I
to vote on the resolution.
A popular referendum would have
no legal affect on ratification. The j
constitution says that three-fourths j
of the slates through their legisU-1
lures shall ratify an amendment tx>j
the federal constitution to make it |
effective.
There ha* been talk in congress
for several years however of put-j
ting up another amendment to the |
constitution to make ratification |
possible by popular vote.
Thi the will of the people would ;
become effective much sooner. As ■

happened—nothing out of the or-

The other girls discussed Katie's !

She waau't looking well. Her j

tmioo.lv |f she was eating enough.
Gale said alto was though it was
true she hail little appetite. She had
trouble going to -hep nights and. j
when she did. slept restlessly tor-

Miss Groves figured in these
dreams frequently and ao did Lcota

she war. in a forest and had lost
her way. It was growing darker
every moment and -obe was becom-

heard a tearful growling. She be-

was going hot deeper and deeper
into the woods. The growling eon
linued and seemed to draw nearer.
Gale looked back and saw a lion
running with its mouth open its
cruel teeth glittering. She ran
faster and taster and all at once
the trees disappeared and ah© was
