make their indoqr debut in the Min-

It was Wayne Rideout who stun-
nod the track world last month in
the Sugar Bowl two-mile run at New
Orleans by beating Don Lash, at In-
diana, the world record holder, in
the sensational time of 0 minutes 35
seconds. Next to Lash's record of
8:58.3, this was the fastest two-mile
ever run by an American, indoors
or out. Until then no one, with the
possible exception of Judge Tom
Reilley, of the New York A. C.. who
is never caught unawares by track
new comers, had ever heard of the
Rideout brothers.
Wayne was invited, therefore, to
race Lash. Ray Sears, the native in-

Governor Allred's second message,
dealing with liquor control and
other matters, was written. His

session began.
The House state affairs com-

proposals to liberalize old age pen-

In the Senate, two proposed en-

had been introduced
in the Senate, one of the Gover-

for only a “reasonable'' tax on oU

levy which would place Texas at a
disadvantage with other states, was
read.
Two Senators, E M. Davis of i
Brownwood and Will D. Pace of
Tyler, the former of whom had the
governor's campaign speech read, ex-
pressed apprehension over bilspro-
posing various increases in oil taxes.
In connection with his recommen-

the gvernor declared against sale
by the drink of hard liquor and
segregation of beer and liquor dis-
pensing establishments. He suggest-

liquor seek a constitutional amend-
