Falls was given a sentence of t D
years in the penitentiary by the
jury in her case last week, tried
at Haskell on a change of venue,
in connection with the slaying of her
18 year-old son-in-law, Elzie Rob-
ertson, last Februaiy. Her hus-
band, former mayor of Wichita
Falls, was sentenced for three years
for the murder of the young hus-
band of the daughter of their
home, their marriage having been
kept secret for several months. Mrs.
Collier was with her husband when
h, did the shooting. The case is
one of the most noted in crimin l ;
annals of Texas. Young Robertson
was shot to death before his meth- ,

Falls following an unsuccessful
attempt to separate the couple by
the parents of the voung bride. j

show that the women paid just as

they occasionally smoked and even

that the modern girl does. The

Tak’ng County School Superinter-
dents Office out of Politics
A bill which came before the re-
cent Legislature, which deserves the
support of all people who would
like to see better country schools
in Texas, is that which proposes the
selection of the county school sup-
erintendent by the county board of
school trustees. Under the present
law, the county school superinten-
dent is elected by the vote oi
people, and in too many instances,
the good politician gets tiie office
over the good schoolman. A man
may be highly desirable personally,
he may have many of those attri-
butes which win the friendship and
support of the public, but that does
not make him the best man for the
job of directing the school work
in the county. A man's fitness for
such a position can best be deter-
mined by a few men, elected by
the people, who will give the mat-
ter the investigation and thought
essential to tiie selection of the
best qualified man. So long as the
county school trustees, who will se-
lect the county 'superintendent arc
elected by the people, it cannot
be said that the schools have been
taken out of the hands of the peo-
ple.—The Progressive Farmer.

The Craze for Colors.

for many bright colors indicats
that mankind is not far removed
