to Quit Post as Head
of Association.
By CnivrrMr Hrrilrr.
FORT WORTH. July 9.—The
Routh has won its long fight against
the boll weevil.
This announcement was made by
Clarence Ousley president of the Na-
tional 801 l Weevil Control Associa-
tion an organization that mustered
the fighting forces of the Southern
Stu - es when complete destruction of
one of the country's greatest indus-
tries was threatened.
“We nre about to finish our work"
Mr. Ousley said. “We have learned
to accept the help of the scientist in
this fight."
The boll weevil come out of Mex-
co a dozen years ago. advancing
lortheutward n few miles each year.
The weevil is a small insect that
wires its way into the cottou bolls
ahilo they are green.
They never mature and instead of a
leery ball of cotton the planter gets
t black decaying pod ns the fruit of
>is toil under the hot Southern suu.
PLANTERS HELPLESS.
( The invasion of the boll weevil
ound the planters helpless.
Their crops were devoured under
heir eyes and there was no remedy
t seemed to them.
But the loss of the farmer was re-
lecled throughout the country.
Bankers and scientists came to the
lid of the stricken planter.
The association which Mr. Ousley
lends and from which he announced
le would retire on October 1 because
lis work is finished was one of the
igencies for combining the combative
Force of the country against the
“We have brought the weevil un-
ler control by two years of intensive
tudy and co-operation of farmers
usiness men bankers and educational
aatitutione” he said.
“Most of my work for the past two
ears has been with the banks.
' “Now when n fanner seeks finan-
ial help a bank will suggest to him
ertain methods to be followed to
radicate the weevil before giving him
lonn.
“Then other organizations will
pring to assist the farmer.”
Science aided in the fight through
n intensive study of the weevil
cientists are able to tell the farmer
ow to destroy the weevil larva in the
ill to poison the weevil in the slim-
ier and destroy his advance guard in
be early spring.
The airplane was used in the fight
oison being sifted on the fields of
jtton from the sky.
And now the fight is won.
“ While the weevil may show itself
t times in the South we know now
ow to handle it minimizing its de-
duction." Mr. Ousley said.
Mr. Ousley will resume his work
dth laboratories in Fort Worth when
e resigns as head of the Weevil Erad-
ation Association in October.

FAT MAN DUE TO JOIN
EXTINCT DODO AND STEIN
KANSAS CITY July o.—Never
any more under any circumstances
inquire solicitously of any of your men
acquaintances "aren't you getting a
little atouter?" to do so would be ns
disastrous n faux pas ns making the
same inquiry of their wives.
There are not rat men any more
so it really doesu't matter that no-
body likes them.
The extent to which the craze to
be thin has struck the men who once
ridiculed women's efforts to reduce
has been revealed in the edict against
fat Issued by the police department
here.
Lieutenant William Arnold drill-
muster. not only has decreed that there
shall be no fat policemen not even
any pleasingly plump ones.
ANTI-FAT EDICT.
A rigid system of inspection has
been started by means of which a care-
ful check is kept upon waistlines.
Every patrolman detective chauf-
feur. clerk or even commissioner who
is observed to be letting out his belt
a notch is ordered to the reducing
squad which holds meetings at nights
and on Sundays at the drill grounds.
GARNER FAVORS CUT
IN INCOME TAX RATE
A cut in income taxes exempting
married men with incomes of $5OOO or
less and unmarried man of incomes
not exceeding $4OOO is favored by
Congressman John M. Garner leader
of the House Democrats.
He is at the Robert E. Lee Hotel
with his wife and son Tully.
Mr. Garngr is just returning to
Uvalde from Hebbronville.
He predicted Coolidge would be re-
nominated by the Republicans and de-
feated.
The income tax quesHort will form
one of the chief issues in the next
campaign ho said.

SAN PEDRO. July fl.—The auto-
mobile Mrs. L. F. Banticr parked in
the shopping district here yesterday
had no lock on it. so she chained her
Gorman police dog to the car to guard
if.
When she returned a half hour later
the car was still there but the dog
had been stolen.
She telephoned police and Detective
Lieutenant G. W. Beeson motored out
to look for clues.
As he stepped from his car he no-
ticed the spare wheel had been stolen.
He went to the telephone to turn
this new development over to Patrol-
man Ben Hoskins to handle.
The latter was off duty at the time
and in getting out of bed to answer the
call found that his clothes had been
stolen.
TROOPS WILL SEE

An illustrated lecture on the
Egyptian campaigns during the World
War will be given at Camp Stanley
Thursday night for the Fifty-sixth
Cavalry Brigade by Lieutenant Col-
onel Edward Davis Cavalry who has
arrived from Washington to address
the national guard cavalrymen.

with General Allcnsby during the
eastern campaigns nnd will relate
events nnd show scenes of the en-
gagements he witnessed.
Colonel Davis will visit the en-
campment of the 311th Cavalry at

C. OF C. RECEIVES
REQUEST FOR DATA
The first request for information
received by the southwestern office of
the West Texas Chamber of Com-
merce reached San Antonio Thursday.
The letter was from W. C. Wins-
borough a stove manufacturer of
Kansas City. Mo. who requested data
on living and industrial conditions
hecr. giving the inference that he is
spokesman for a group which plans a
colonization movement in Texas.
By VINA LINDSAY
vci-enl Service Stuff Correspondent.
Programs at such gatherings con-
sist of brisk racing around a cinder
track.
“There’s no room for fat men on the
police force” says Lieutenant Arnold.
“A fat man. even a plump man. be-
comes soft and flabby and gets short
of wind and then besides think how
he looks in a uniform!”
CONSIDER GIRTH.
The complex against fat men is not
peculiar to the [sdicc department but
is general physical culture authori-
ties. tailors and dieticians rei>ort.
Masculine curves are as out of date
as feminine billows and the stout
jovial middle-aged man in the checked
suit is doomed to become as extinct as
his former inseparable companion the
beer stein.
It’s not only that a man must keep
his boyish figure these days to please
the girls but also to appease his em-
ployers and in order not to be con-
sidered a back number in the business
world..
Industrial firms frankly admit that
they consider the girth of a man's
waistline as well as of his head in
passing upon his application for work.
