The tornado is the most violent
of all storms, but compared with
most other storms it is of brief du-
ration and covers a relatively small
area. The entire ufe history of a
tornado is usually limited to less
then an hour, end the path of its
destruction is seldom more than a
quarter of a mile wide. At any one
place along the path the storm does
not last more than a.minute or so.

Railroads have had serious difficulty in financing
themselves since the security market went toboggan-
ing and their earnings sank under the general busi-
ness decline. They have $70,000,000 in obligations
maturing in the first quarter of this year and in
the six months ending with April will have required
from $85,000,000 to 8155.000000 above their available
cash and receipts in sight. Some roads have been
faced with obvious disaster, but now. when they can’t
get loans from banking channels or the public Uiey
can depend on the federal government. The theory is
that the new bulwark will .inspire confidence in new
railroad refinancing so tht the roads can get most
of the needed money elsewhere
Insurance companies have had to sell securities at
a loss in order to meet unprecedented demands for
loans to policyholders and their position will likewise
be strengthened, although it has not been as ser-ous
as that in which certain banks and railroads have
found themselves
shown a remarkable growth. One system, the United
Air Lines carried three times as many passengers in
1931 as in 1930. Furthermore, this record was made
without a single fatal aceident, and only one minor
crash with injuries only, to the pilot. ’ ,

if the individual is senstttve to

inflammation forms around the

sensitive to the substance. no such
reaction takes place.
Th*, test is made in one of two
ways. In one the skin is scratched
lightly so that qo blood is drawn
and a very minute quantity of the
dissolved protein is applied to the
scratch
The second method is to inject
a quantity of the suspected protein
into the skin.
Thp reactions to both these meth-
ods are in essence the same except
that the injection method is the
more sensitive test, end is also like-
ly to evoke a very active response.
There are now about 300 proteins
available for testing.
A number of proteins belonging
to the same general group may be
tested for at once. Thus, one may
be tested for animal dander. vege-

Whether, by causing a release of frozen credits and

slump definitely behind is a matter of debate be-
tween the optimists and the pessimists. There seems
. to be a real chance that it may.
Throwing the government into business as it never
was before, the administration and Congress have
adopted the most drastic of several measures jet used
to meet the crisis. Although designed for both its
psychoogical and material effect as were the $100,-

which halted, even if they retarded, the downward
trend—tt has greater possibilities than any of them.

There time may not be fer dis-
tant,- however, when something is
going to have to be done in the
way of getting out from under this
tax load. Not so many years ago
when money was ngore plentiful,
it was popular to advocate more
governmental expense because of a
real or fancied need of some pub-
lic improvement, or because it
would provide jobs for somebody's
friends. Today, with the number of
tax-eaters gaining so rapidly on
thehumber of taxpayers. there are
many, many voters coming to the
decision that something must be
done to remedy the situatfon. It‘s
easy to pile up government expense
and add to the public payroll, but

In our opinion, tax-eaters are

EX-OFFICIALS GET FEES
■ A little more than $10,000 was split in Tarrant
I- : County the other day between former district attor-
E ■ neys, district clerks and the sheriff, this sum com-
- ing out of the 7931 delinquent tax suits which had
been filed and prosecuted. A good sum of money went
: to the estates of former county officials who have
died since leaving office, and only in one case did
8- : a part of the money go to an incumbent.
- Although these men are not in public office, they
i . are still receiving fees of that office, due to the fact
5 4 : that the delinquent taxes fell due during their terms.
wll continue to receive small amounts from
ir : time to time.
2 Present officers, however, will not be able to look
I : forward to any such little “gifts" after they leave
[ • - office. The Parrish fee bill passed by the legisla-
5 - lure’ last year specifies that court costs in delinquent
I .tax cases in the future shall go into the county's gen-
I : cral fund, wh.ch is a more equitable way ot disposing
L : at this money.
