in a letter to his mother, the
late Mrs. Francis Campbell, tells
of some unusual scenes witnessed
by him in France. He writes un-
der date of October 19th as fol-
lows:
"I received your most welcome
letter last night, and I sure was
glad to hear from home. I had al-
most begun to think you had for-
gotten me.
“Yes, I like France real well,
though I had rather be back in
the good old U. S. A.
“Well mother, I saw a French
wedding today. It sure was a
sight! and after the wedding they
went to a French cafe and had a
big dance. They danced at the cafe
a while and then they came out
on the street and danced a while,
and then they went to another cor-
ner of the street and danced some
more. It surely was an interest-
ing sight for me.

to us Americans, but they sure
are nice to us. I went to town
the other day and it was trade day.
That was another interesting sight
for me. I never saw the like of
hogs as they had. Women were
out there trading hogs just like a
man would do over there. I saw
several women going down the
street with a pig in a sack on their
back. I couldn't keep from laugh-
ing.

also. 1 saw a woman with two lit- ,
tie milch cows for sale, so I ask- ,
ed her what she wanted for them,
and she said “Six hundred francs"
—that is $108.00. That was cheap
enough for a farmer who wanted
to buy some milch cows.
“Well, mother, I don't know of
any news to write. I received a
letter from papa the other day,
and he told me that you had come
home and that you had a nice time

Hottest competition in next

company the maiming of normal,
healthy individuals.
“The cold statistics of motoring
death rates have shown marked im-
provement in the last eighteen
months. But it isn’t statistics which
get mashed and battered,'' Furnas
states. “Human individuals, each
with his personal relationship to
dozens of other individuals, are the
victims."
* FASHION PREVIEW *
One of the most unfortunate
things about accidents, Furnas goes
on to say, is that they occur where
everything has been done to pre-
vent them. Intersections are marked.
Stop signs are plainly set up at
crossroads. Roadways are divided by
glaring white lines. But drivers con-
tinue to approach intersections too
fast and drivers on crossroads, in-
stead of coming to a full stop at
an intersection, merely drop into
second gear. People will cross the
glaring white line, swing out from
behind other cars on hills and make
the curve too wide when they turn.
Drivers themselves must make the
safety effort before it can be really
accomplished.

Austin — The Supreme Court of
Texas will have an opportunity to
pass upon the ruling of Attorney
General Gerald Mann, declaring the '
state tax remission bill, giving a-
way one half the State’s ad va-
lorem tax revenue to the counties
for a five year period, unconsti-
tutional. Dallas County officials,
counting upon the State money in
making a budget for 1940, and
Miss Lillian Holland becomes I with an overdraft of over $800,000
.in the general fund of the coun-
ty, have arranged with Dallas law-
yers to bring a friendly test suit,
seeking to enjoin the county from
creating any indebtedness based
upon this item in their budget.
They will endeavor to get county
officials of other counties to join
them as intervenors in the suit.
Plan is to obtain an injunction in
district court, take a quick appeal
to the Fifth Court of Civil Ap-

the bill creating the Welfare
Board, objects to Johnson’s re-

Pension administration, declaring
it was the "intent of the Legis-
lature” to “clean out" the pension
employes under the new setup. He
also complained Johnson has not
carried out the intent of the liber-
