THE greatest thing we can
X give a child is character.
And no one can give that
which he lacks.
If we would make the child
fit for the world he finds when
he grows up—if we would make
him fit for the conditions of
life about him—we must give
Mim character.
He is ours—and yet he is
not ours.
He doesn’t belong to us. He
belongs to himself . . . and
to the world.
We can’t own his soul, and
we can’t bend him to our will.
All we can do with him—alt
we have any right to do with
him—is make him fit for the
life which belongs to him . . .
until the time comes when his
life in turn belongs,, to some-

Sixteen year* ago It was that
a gangling 7-year-old boy was
brought to the Masonic Home
to school.
He was an ordinary sort of
a lad, except that he devel-
open a genius for figures. He
was shy. a bit more timid than
most of the boys at the home.
But he knew his arithmetic
. . . his algebra . . . his
geometry. ■ '
In the spring of 1924, a
small class was graduated from
the Masonic Home School. In
the class was the boy-Roberts
.... whose friends thought
of him as a sort of prodigy in
math. ‘
At the threshold of life, he
faced a problem. He hardly
knew where to start, or how.
But from the Rotary Club he
managed to borrow 1175 . . .

Committee From Mansfield
Petitions Engineer
Suggestion that Highway 34 be
routed over Water Street, the
main thoroughfare of Mansfield,
was made by a committee of busi-
ness men of that town to County
Engineer Davis Friday.
A right-hand turn at Broad
Street would be eliminated and
the highway would pass thru the
town on an almost straight line,
the Mansfield men said.
An overhead crossing at the
H&TC Railroad also would serve
as a bridge over Walnut Creek,
and It might be possible to elimi-
nate one underpass or overpass,
they said.
Davis said that their proposed
plan was feasible, but that it
would be up to the State Highway
Department to pick the location.
Should their plan be adopted, the
.length of the route thru the town
would be virtually the same as at
present.
It would be necessary for a
lumber company to move its yards
if Water Street is designated, but
that has already been agreed to.
The committee was composed of
Dr. R. M. Thomas, E. A. Rosler.
A. F. Weaver, W. A. Halbert,
Frank Mayfield, Arthur Blessing,
O. H. House, C. P. Holland. E. C.
Watson and Doc Blissard.
Lengwosth and Chairman Snell of
the Raler Committee, authror of
the rule resolution, had “waived
the constitutional prerogatives of
the House for political expedi-
ency." Republicans defended the
rules plan.
They are confident the plan will
meet with success.
It calls for killing the debenture
clause of the farm bill in a con-
ference of committees represent-
ing the House and Senate, and
final adoption of the original bill
creating the $500,000,000 revolv-
ing fund to be administered by a
federal farm board for promotion
of orderly marketing.
The House leaders have no
doubt the debenture clause w4+
be eliminated, because the Confer-
ence Committee stands 8 to 2
against it.
Secret Amendments.
The tariff strategy Is working
out equally well from the admin-
istration standpoint. The House
Ways and Mean* Committee has
drawn a half dozen secret amend-
ment* to the pending bill which
make some of the change* desired
by the farm bloc. The leader*
think they will draw farm bloc
support to the bill. If they do.
the tariff can be passed within a
week over Democratic objections.

Dr. H. H. Pendrey, Fort Worth,

tendance of between 600 and 700

oxide fumes swirling thru the
building—were marked on the
danger list. They, with fremen,
policemen and volunteers who
carried victims from the blazing
structure, were ordered to rebrt
for medical treatment to "drive
gas poison from their lungs and
blood corpuscles.
The vast destruction of human
life in an institution erected to
preserve life was believed prob-
ably due to two steamfitters’
blunders..
One of the steamfitters, Buf-
frey Boggs, was held in techni-
cal custody after he told his story
to Coroner A. J. Pearse, police
and county officials.
He said he had been called to
repair a leaking steam pipe in
the basement X-ray film room
Wednesday morning. —Removing
the fireproof covering, he had
found the pipe too hot to touch.
He went back to his shop, leav-
ing the pipe to cool off. Ninety
minutes later he returned to find
smoke in the room and steam
dripping from th• pipes.
City Fire Wardens P. F. Fer-
rie and M. F. Gross said they
believed the heat spreading from
the unprotected pipe and escaping
steam had caused spontaneous
combustion among rolls of X-ray
film stored in the basement room.
Nitrogen gas given off from the.
film combined with the oxygin
in the air to form nitrogen diox-
ide gas—sure death for those
who breathed it deeply.
But this gas would never have
escaped from the film room to
the floors above except for the
error of the second steamfitter—
a man as yet unidentified. Years
ago this man put a steam pipe—
separate from the one Boggs
worked on—in the wrong place.
It protruded from the ceiling and
prevented the automatic closing
of a fire door in the film rooip.

AUSTIN, May 17,—Both reduc-
tion in automobile license fee*
and an increased gasoline tax pro-
posals vanished this morning so
far as the present session of the
Legislature is concerned.
Representative Leonard Tillot-
son, author of the 4c gasoline tax
bill, asked teat It be "laid on the
table," with announcement that it'
will not again be called up at this
session. The House granted the
request.
In disposing of the bill this way,
Representative Tillotson an-
nounced he did so because Senate
members have told him they want
more time than remains to consid-
er both the gasoline tax and the
registration fees.
Date Met for Session.
May 28 is now given by Gover-
nor Moody as the tentative date
for convening the second special
session.
The prison concentration bill,
which has been adopted "by both
the Senate and House, probably
will not reach the Governor until
Saturday.
While he regards the bill as a
"mess," because of the many
amendments, the Governor Indi-
cated that if it is workablbe It will
be his disposition to sign it.
Final passage by the House of
the barber bill and the bill for
sexual sterilization of insane took
place this morning.
Two Location Plans.
With its many amendments, the
prison bill gives two chances for
prison concentration on lands now
owned. To locate on a site not
now owned, legislative approval
must be secured either at a called
session or from the 42nd Legisla-
ture.
If a commission of citizens de-
cides no present site is suitable,
th* State Prison Board, together
with three Senators and five Rep-
resentatives, is to seek a sultable
location anywhere in the State.

Chief Conviction at Amarillo Was
That of Elizabeth Murray.
Thirty-four convictions, most

ty, were meted out at the regu-
lar term of U. S. District Court
at Amarillo this week, Alex
.Mood of the federal attorney’s
office here, said Friday. The
criminal docket was called Mon-

alleged fictitious women’s club*,
membership in which cost $1,000.
She was indicted on a mail

year, and arrested recently at
San Jose, Cal.. on a warrant
