An automobile of the Ford brand
sailed down Congress Avenue just
after dark Saturday night with 7-11
luck, carrying 11 passengers— sev-
en on the running boards. The
lucky number may have been the
chief reason that it turned off of
Congress Avenue after winding in
and out of a bunch of other cars,
and headed safely into a quiet
street. homeward bound.
Many observers have frequently
noticed motor cars fitted up for the
purpose of carrying grips, children,
dogs or what not on their running
boards.. .Woll, this particular Ford
was one of ths “fitted-up” varie-
ties...On epch side of the car a
small iron bsr ran from fender to
fender, just high enough and as far
from the car to permit of carrying
what might bo desired on the run-
ning boards, without any chance for
it to spill.” In the auto were four
persons; on the two running boards
were seven children— four on one
side and three on the other, hence
the party was mads up of "leven.
“Some Ford," remarked one man
as the car passed Congress and
Seventh; “some luck,” exclaimed
another as the little suto scudded
safely to Fifth and Congress, go-
ing oaft as jauntily as though it
wore aware of its lucky human
freight numbers.

The general committe which is con-
ducting a campaign in the interest of
the “better schools amendment" to the
’Texas constitution to be voted on at
the general election next November,
held a meeting here yesterday in the
office of Miss Annie Webb Blanton,
state superintendent of public instruc-
tion. Plans of the campaign were dis-
cussed and it was announced that an
organization has been effected in each
county in Texas Miss Blanton stated
'that the campaign was progressing sat-
isfactorily and efforts are to be in-
creased from now until the day of
election.
The proposed amendment, which
was submitted to the people by the
'Thirty-sixth Legislature, will permit
‘each school district of Texas to vote
for its schools such local tax as it
deems necessary, thus removing the
present constitutional limitation.
, Those who are conducting the cam-
l paign declare that schools cannot much
longer continue their terms by aid
of private subscriptions; that common
school districts have not even the privi-
lege of increasing property valuation
t for school purposes only, and more than
one-half of the children of Texas at-
tend schools in those districts.
For the session of 1920-21, in order to
tide over the emergency until this
amendment can be adopted, the legisla-
ture made an appropriation of $4000,-
900 to aid the public free schools

MONTGOMERY, Ala., Sept. 4.—Gov-
error Kilby today telegraphed an ap-
peal to J. R. Kennamore, president of
the Alabama district of the United
Mine Workers of America, asking that
the strike of bituminous miners or-
dered in this State by the national
organization be held up pending an
investigation. At the same time the
Governor appointed a commission
headed by Dr. George H. Denny, presi-
dent of the University of Alabama, to
inquire into the differences existing
between miners and operators.
All of the miners in Southern dis-
tricts were authorized to strike Imme-
diately under terms of an order issued
this week by John L Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers, which
alleged that mine owners had failed to
comply with the award of President
Wilson's coal commission, created last
fall to settle the national coal strike.

, LEWISTON, Maine, Sept. 4 —Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt, Democratic candidate
for Vice President, closed a three days'
speaking tour of this State in con-
nection with the State campaign with
an address here tonight, in which he
defended the League of Nations. He
termed ineffective the plan of a per-
manent court of arbitration suggested
by Senator Harding, the Republican
candidate for President, as a substi-
tute for the league.
“When nations approach the high
and dangerous precipice of strained
relations,*’ he said, “they are in grave
danger of Injury if they continue their
course. Senator Harding’s idea seems
to be to build a hospital at the foot
of that precipice in order to care for
the broken limbs of the nations who
fall over the edge. The Democratic
theory, which is the essence of the
League of Nations, is not to build a
mere hospital at the foot of the cliff,
but rather to erect a stout fence around
the top, in order to prevent the na-
tions of the world from falling off.”

The Marlon conference of the Re-
publican ways and means committee

Story of the Mishap.
According to the story, at about 2
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, the 8-5
was about 55 miles off Cape Henlopen
when Lieutenant Commander Cooke
gave orders for a practice "crash dive".
This is a war maneuver used when
speedy submerging is desired. It had
been tried the day before and had been
successful.
The signal had been given and every
man was at his place. The hatches
were closed and water doors were
opened as the air ballast was forced out
and the water rushed in and the boat
began to sink. In a moment, the in-
dicator showed something was wrong.
The bow was sinking faster than the
stern. An inspection, that required
only seconds, showed that the air in-
duction had failed to work and one of
the sea valves had not closed.
Three minutes passed and the sub-
marine was still sinking, but uneven-
ly. Orders flashed out from Com-
W. I. Starks, wife and little daugh-
, ter, who have just returned from a trip
1 of several weeks’ duration in Colorado,
• express themselves as having thor-
oughly enjoyed themselves all the
while, and state each member of the
party is feeling better since the out-
ing—for outing it was, as the family
went through to Denver and returned
to Austin in Mr. Stark’s new Hupmo-
bile automobile.
They visited several towns and cities
in Texas, Mexico and Colorado, out-
side of Denver, Colorado Springs, Man-
itou and other Colorado resorts, for
which they were directly headed. Mr.
Stark states that the only occurrences
that marred the pleasure of the trip
were run-ins" on certain roads which
were impassable. Several times the
party were compelled to pay farmers
or others to pull them out of the mud.
Mr. Stark reports that he even encoun-
tered a strip of bad road between Colo-
ro Springs and Denver, but that he
finally managed to get through that
unpleasant experience with his own ef-
forts.
Mr. Stark further stated that he re-
gretted to say it, but that the worst
roads he encountered—those which
were wholly impassable-—were in Tex-
as, lying between Abbott, just north
of the McLennan County line and ex-
tending into McLennan. He stated that
he was forwarned at Abbott and did not
attempt to pass through West Station
and on into Waco, as men who had
been in McLennan County that day
stated the roads from West Station into
Waco were altogether impasable.
That section of road was built not
many years ago, it was called to mind,
when McLennan County threw two
commissioners’ precincts into Good
Road District No. 2,. and voted bonds
in the sum of $1,000,075 with which
to build the highways. That was one
of the first real big issues made by
any county in Texas, and had a great
deal to do, it was stated at the time,
and since, with other counties bonding
heavily and proceeding to build good
roads.
Mr. Stark said tha he was joined
by five other automobiles at Abbott
and, acting on advice of eitizens
there, detoured the West-Waco road,
about 9 o’clock at night reaching Waco,
a distance of somewhat over 20 miles,
the next morning at 6 o’clock. He
stated that while gone he had many
people from other states, who found
that he was from Texas, who asked if
“the road from the Hill County line
into Waco had been improved yet”
One of these men. he said, was from
New Orleans and the other from a far
distant state.
Just the same, the Starks had a
nice and pleasant stay in Waco, pro-
ceeding to Austin without losing much
time, said Mr. Stark. He stated they
were glad to get back home again, and
he is already knuckled down to work
in his usual vigorous manner.

with a request that they be sent back
to the 8-5 as soon as it is salvaged
and placed in commission, and that
they be under the command of Cooke,
or that if Cooke cannot command the
8-5 again, that he be given another
ship, a submarine and that they be
allowed to follow him.
