Still other records being contemplated on Capitol
Hill seem to go a long way toward explaining recent
rumors here that Louis Glavis, chief investigator for
PWA and Secretary Ickes, had "Investigated" Post-
master General Parley—to Parley’s Intense Indigna-
tion. en
Last summer Glavis and his men investigated the
$250,000 postomee annex building and the $6,000,000
federal courts building in New York.
The General Builders Supply Corporation had sold
about $195,000 of cement, plaster, brick. and terra
cotta blocks to the contractor or sub-contractors for
the annex job and about $185,000 of materials for
the federal courts job.
General Builders’ Supply is known In New York
as "Parley’s company" and the postmaster general,
although he resigned as its president, was stin a
stockholder and presumably in control.
• • •
The Ickes-Qlavis forces were especially interested
in the bids on the annex Job
The procurement division had asked for blds Tour
times. A company which had refused to buy supplies
from the Parley company was low on the second and
third bids, which were rejected.
A company which had been doing business with
the Farley concern for years was low on the fourth
bid and won the contract
The Engineering News-Record charged the Treas-
ury Department with “chiseling" or “a deUberate at-
tempt on the part of the administration to eliminate
a bidder."
One hears talk on Capitol Hill of a proposal in
the Senate that treasury and PWA records bearing
on the investigation be revealed

MAN ABOUT MANHATTAN
By GEORGE TUCKER
NEW YORK—This is about a sick cello, a still
more lick ‘cellist, and a really kind man.
It all came to the surface in Carnegie hall when
Gregor Ptatigorsky played the world premiere of a
concerto by an Italian with a somewhat difficult name
— Casteinuovo-Tedesco.
But it began some years back, in Boston, when a
director of the Boston Symphony hired a young Rus-
slon cellist to playa program for some guests The
‘cellist was tall, hanq—t- in the Russian way, vigor-
ous, played beautifuy.
A friendship began, fees were forgotten, and the
house became, the Boston home of Piatigorsky. And
then, one da/ the man and his musical friend met
on a London street. Piatigorsky was lick at heart
His cello was worse. ‘Cellos sufficiently good for his
use cost heavily
The friends had dinner together Next day the Bos-
ton gentleman telephoned the distrait musician. He
asked to be taken to see the best London collection
of fine musical instruments; Piatigorsky was busy and
worried, but of course he said yes.
For German people nowadays it is very difficult to
make plans, and also for an artist who must travel
all the time and work so hard—Uly Pons. famous
singer.

DENTON, TEXAS, FEBRUARY 14, 1935
no ’ DENTON-EDUCATIONAL CENTER
Enrollment figures from the two State colleges at
the beginning of the second semester should con-
vince any resident of Denton that this city is one
of the most important educational centers in the
South, C. I. A. reports the greatest spring-semester
enrollment in the schools history with more than
1800 zstudenta. The Teachers’ College has a greater
enrollment than last year with practically 1800 stu-
dents, By the end ol the week it is expected that the
total enrollment in the two colleges will be around
3 300 Austin is the only city in Texas that has more
college stulents than Denton.
Add to the college enrollment here the more than
2,000 students in the public schools: add the faculty
members of the colleges and schools and Include oth-
er citizens whose livelihood depends on local educa-
tonal institutions; throw in for good measure those
whose income is largely due to the two colleges and
their student bodies, and it is apparent that Denton
is, an educational center first and for all time. Other
cities can worry about industrial development, about
attracting tourista or getting new citizens, but Den-
t* has in its midst two State colleges which are
largely responsible for the growth of thsi city. These
colleges may not draw large industries. but they do
attract tourists and visitors, many of whom move
here for the advantages which Denton offers. And
the beauty is that these colleges are growing steadily
and that Denton win grow with them. Every citizen
interested in Denton should make it his duty to do
everything in his power to cooperate to the fullest
with both colleges.
It was unfortunate for Peoples that a lobbyist's con-
fidential memorandum laid before the Senate muni-
tions committee revealed the admiral aa consultant
in a plan to bombard Roosevelt with telegrams urg-
ing him to get the navy to rescind its rejection of
bids by the Bath (Me.) Iron Works for two destroyers.
Certain persons—and I’d hate to say they weren’t
admirers of “Honest Harold Ickes —began to whis-
per that Peoples might be a bit too susceptible to
the wiles of politicians and lobbyists and that per-
haps the people around Peoples” didn't comprise
the best imaginable staff.
“Despite the large sums being
spent rot grade crossing elimin-
ation. the number is not being
decreased Ralph Budd presi-
dent of the Burlington says. He
states that time is required to
work out arrangements for the
eliminations, but that only a
few hours is required to obtain
authority for a new one It the
approval of the Railroad Com-
mission must be obtained to
eliminate a grade crossing, then
why not require it before a new
one is opened."

Irked Graves and he vented his
feelings in a memorable speech
Graves, a colorful speaker on any
subject he regards as vital to the
moral welfare of the people, figur-
atively took off his gloves on that
occasion to the delight of those
holding his views and the chagrin
of the opposition.
Pari-mutuel wagering was pass-
ed as a rider to the appropriations
bill after Graves had led a success-
ful fight against the proposition
when it was before the house in an
individual bill. The rider scheme
cut Graves to the quick and he
was almost in tears when he con-
cluded his bitter indictment of Its
sponsors.
Graves bill to repeal the law was
among the first introduced in the
44th legislature. Although busy
with other important Graves con-
centrated on obtaining an early
hearing. He spared no effort to
have hi* aide of the question pre-
sented by able speakers.
Before committee hearings began
Graves polled the group, found his
side had a preponderant ma lori ty
and directed parliamentary strat-
egy that resulted in a quick report
despite efforts at a small block to
defer action pending more exten-
sive argument.
The victory in the committee,
however, will not entirely salve
Graves’ wounds He will not be con-
tent. he say*. until the Mil is pass-
ed by both Houses and signed by the
governor.

Mrs. T M- Teaslee has received
a letter from her daughter. Miss
Kittie Teasley, telling graphically
of the burning of the school where
she is teaching at Hooks Monday
afternoon, when the teachers and
children barely escaped with their
lives. From the time the fire was
discovered until the building was
a mass of ruins except for two
rooms, was only 15 minutes, she
said, and she attributed the fact
that no lives had been lost to fire
drills that have been held in the
school and a recently installed fire
alarm.
The building was of frame con-
struction with * composition roof
and ceilings were of beaverboard.
Boy Scouts dammed up a small pud-
dle of water and when firemen ar-
rived from New Boston and Texar-
kana they saved the two rooms.

marched out in perfect order

HEAT
Of all the available home remedies,
rest and heat are the most valua-
ble Heat has the added advantage
of being an analgesic or in pain
language, a useful remedy for re-
lieving pain
Heat may be applied to a varie-
ty of forms and each form has its
special advantage under given cir-
cumstances. A little thought and a
little ingenuity will indicate what
form of heat will serve best for a
particular condition.
Fundamentally, however, wheth-
er one wraps c<y°n
around some painful region, or ap-
plies fomentations, poultices, a hot
water bag, an electric heat pad, or
makes use of the radiant energy of
a heater or electric tamp. Or even
has recourse to diathermy, the fun-
damental effects are the same
Heat is soothing: warmth and
moisture have a relaxing effect on
favor the lessening of tension And
where pain Involves deep tissue,
diathermy, the heat produced by
the passage of electric current thru
the body tissues, may have a mark-
ed advantage over the other forms
of,heat application.
Where pain is superficial and
the skin is sensitive to touch, or
to changes in temperature, cover-
ing the part with cotton flannel or
the like, will usually bring relief. In
localized pains, that. Is to pain
limited to a small area of the skin,
heat from a hot water bag is use-
fur, but the water bag is more ad-
vantageousuly employed under the
circumstances where the body does
nto have to support its weight.
The electric pad has the marked
advantage of sustaining its tem-
perature for as long a time as I*
desirable Furthermore, since the
electric pad is flexible. It can be
molded to fit snugly the parts to
which it is applied.
Radist heat, such as is derived
from an electric bulb or coll heater,
is very beneficial, especially undei
circumstances, where the skin is
eensitive even to light touch. The
pains of arthritis and at neuritis
yield appreciably to radit heat

child who is far-sighted may make
a gcod sailor or engine-driver, but
is not fitted for school or office work

The child with marked astigma-

duel difficulty lies in focussing his
eyes correctly. He must be forev-

Only a competent oculist can deal
with these eye troubles. To buy the

and treatment, than let the child pay
it later with injury to his health
