"TAKING THE SHOW"
Aviation is "stealing the show"
as far as news is concerned. The
first page of a newspaper of re-

headlines: "Two Planes Start
Ocean Flights". Graf Zeppelin
Trades Mail With Arstic Ice Break-
ers." "Lindberghs Resume Flight
To Asia From Washington." and
"Planep Seek Radio ControlKU

Each of these haedlines covered
a different story. Each was what

MATINEE AND NUB
It means that aviation, the most
spectacular and romatic of all
methods of transportation, is in
the stream of current thought of
the public. It seems that decades
have been reduced to years, and
years to months, in which air
travel will be as common as other
modes.
Yet the flying of a plane or
airship any considerable distance
is still "news". It will be a long
time before an ocean flight, partic-
ularly a non-stop one, will be
pushed to the inside page of a
newspaper. Until then, all of the
mystery, the daring and the ad-
venture, the allurement and ap-
peal, will be dominant in the pub-
lic mind concerning air transpor-
tation.
There was time when we thought
the "aeroplane" (as it was then
called t might, be somewhat useful
in case of war; or profitable for
purposes of exhibition flights. It
has taken a number of years for
us to appreciate the establishment
of air lines as scheduled trans-
portation systems, for passengers,
mail and freight service. But now
we know that the building of
planes, as well as their operation,
is not a work for the novice. And
because -the machines must be
built -right, or they will not fly
safely or at all; and because they
must be operated efficiently, or
there will be disaster—the air bus-
iness has been placed 011 a solid
and substantial foundation. The
doctrine of "it must be right" has
been foremost in the entire indus-
try. The business is being pro-
moted as soundly as the planes are j
being built.
Our great-grandchildren will still
know many persons who will never
have ridden in a contraption that
leaves mother Earth. But such per-
sons will be among the exceptions
that make the rule. But there nev-
er will be atime when such as
Lindbergh and the many others will
not be rated as pioneering heroes
in a field of endeavor as hazardous
as it is romatic. They have helped
us to become air-minded, and In
this respect have aided human
progress to an extent of making all
of posterity their debtors.

Proration And
The Legislature
A Hot Number
Since July 14, members of the
legislature have been hearing about
proration.
lty of said papers, wherein the law
says they must be published In a
newspaper of geneial circulation,
then, said papers could be set aside
just because the law says such notice
or notices must be made by publi-
cation, and they were POSTED
ONLY and not published according
to the LATE LAW. Placing the
phrase Into a citation: "Publication
In a newspaper being hereby waiv-
ed," does not release the one having
the papers executed, from that
LATE LAW which says citations
must be published in a newspaper
of general circulation. Next time
some one reads the old law allov.lng
them to post such notices, then,
tsk them to also read the new law
which says such notices must be
published in a newspaper of generai
circulation. This will change their
iilnds regarding Publications of this
nature, and also show them that
the mere insertion of the phrase:
"Publication in a newspaper being
hereby waived" does not releave
them of the obligation of publishing
said notice in a newspaper, accord-
ing to the late law. To fail to have
notices published in a newspaper
may mean a throwing aside of all
papers formerly recorded and the
whole thing to go over again, or
those objecting throw out the whole
matter for a new trial.
If the writer of said papers desire
to shorten the woruing and leave
out essential paragraphs, or essen-
tial parts of the Legal Notice, Just
to cheapen the account, then the
wording of 'he notice is not efflcie-it
and same might be thrown out be-
cause some of the essential phrases
of the Notice were eliminated. To
play safe, it is better to have you:-
Legal Notices published In a news-
paper of general circulation and to
see that the entire paper is pub-
lished and not a few words, just to
say it was published in a newspaper.

This year, In celebration of the
big jewelry store's forty-fourth an-
niversary, Mr. Flnklea announces a
44 per cent reduction in the price
of every item in his immense stock.
Furthermore, according to Mr.
Flnklea, these reductions are from
prices which were already low.
Thus, merchandise purchased at
this event will in most instances
cost the purchaser only about one-
third of former year prices.
Several years ago, when E. E.
Flnklea moved Into his fine new
store all old stocks were disposed
of. As a result, his establishment
contains only the latest and most
modern designs and models of
jewelry merchandise.
Some Idea of the feast of Jewelry
bargains which awaits those who*
attend the anniversary sale this
year Is gained from the sketch of
the E. E. Flnklea store reproduced
above. This money saving event,
now going on, will close August IS.
As did Governor Sterling, legisla-
tors heard from officials of the
Humble Oil Company that prora-
tion is the one expedient that will
save the Texas petroleum industry.
From an independent oil operator
who lives in Houston, they learned
that proration Is the weapon where
with Standard Oil Interests seek
to control the worlds supply of
oil without buying and paying for
it. This particular witness corro-
borated his testimony by reading
from a London magazine an ac-
count of a meeting between Ameri
can and European oil company
heads at whi(|h the proration
scheme is said to have been hatch
ed. From other large well-known
independent operators the legisla-
tors got telegrams warning against
the "false step of proration." Prob
\ ably the biggest surprise came
| when Underwood Nazro, executive
i of the Oulf companies in Texas,
I told legislators they should have
' known from the beginning that
they couldn't legislate the law of
supply and demand out of exist-
ence with proration or any other
economic makeshift. Nazro's posi
tlon was endorsed by Hai'ry Sin-
clair in a telegraphed communica-
tion.
10,000 People Visit
Dedication Of The
Large Underpass|i:
AmariUo. July 31-^The largest
underpass in Texas and the south-
west was dedicated here last night
In the presence of 10,000 people.
It extends under the Rock Island
and the Burlington railroad sys-
tems, unites two main parts of the
city arid carries traffic of five fed-
eral and eight state highways.
The dedication was by Mayor
Ernest O. Thompson. Wilbur Hawk,
president of the Tri-State Fair
association responded on behalf of
the people. The Rock Island rail-
road was represented by Hal S.
Ray of Chicago and the Burling-
ton by Oeneral John A Hulin, L.
M. Hogsett and F. D. Daggett of
Fort Worth.
The starting of work was hasten-
ed In February for unemployment
relief. It has given 9.600 days' work
to unskilled labor and 3,000 to
skilled labor, making a payroll of
$75,000. Minimum wages were 50
cents an hour, with prevailing un-
ion wages to craftsmen.
Construction is of steel and con-
crete, which consumed 300 car-
loads. The underpass is 770 feet
long. The building permit was for
a quarter of a million dollars, The
structure Is architecturally orna-
mented and lighted. It is crossed
by four vehicle bridges in addition
to the two trunkline railroads.

Under the provisions of this offer-
ed bill, they still may reduce gaso-
line to 10 cents in Austin for the
purpose of making It hard for that
local competitor; but hey'd have
to reduce prices proportionately
in every other point in the state.
It is doubtful that they could stand
the gaff over so wide a territory
for the reward of putting out of
business a local competitor in Just
one town or city; it is doubtful
that they would attempt It.
For that reason this bill—if it

One constructive bill has been
offered the legislature, however,
and if it passes it may justify all
of the money we spent in enter-

members of the 42nd legislature.
This bill would make unlawful the
manipulation of prices by large oil
companies for the manifest pur-
pose of spanking local. Independent

ed and marveled that gasoline re-
fined in Houston could be selling
there at fourteen cents the gallon,

body sitting at Austin. After we
have paid the obligation incurred

BAR DEBTS HURTING
BUSINESS
The age-old problem of credit
shows up in times like these. We
know merchants who have hun-
dreds of dollars on their books.
Some of this is "good', they say,
and some of It is "bad".
There is pretty much of a clear
mark of distinction between the
fellow who can't pay and wants
to pay, and the fellow who can
pay but neglects to do so. Then
there Is the third individual, known
as the "dead-beat", who never
intended to pay when he got the
merchandise. It is this third fellow
that society ought to rid Itself
of as fast as possible. There are
not many of them, but there are
just enough to hurt business and
destroy the confidence deserved
by the honest man.
The deed-beat hides behind the
laws that were enacted to protect
the man of Integrity. Unfortunate-,
ly, it is difficult to fa-

the great majority favoring Gov-
ernor Murray .simply because Gov-
ernor Murray's idea served the
greater number of people.
Oovernor Sterling doubtless was
exceedingly anxious also to serve
the people but he was very anxious
also to keep his actions within
legal bounds.
The viewpoint and associations
of the two men would naturally
suggest that Governor Murray
should hunt a way to surround
technicalities to serve the people
and that Governor Sterling should
get his closest council from the
source that would give chief con-
sideration to property rights, carry-
ing some regrets if there be any
serious Imposition upon the public.
Governor Murray looks first to
the service of the people, with no
special desire to do hurt to special
Interests but ready to swing the
club of governmental power against
their financial head--If forced Into

with the common herd.
