Ths preferential ballot which was

city primary next February.
M the opinion of Commissioner J. J.
.Patorlxa It is the only way to' secure
ood results In a city election since It
assures the seating in ofrice or tne peo-
pie's choi.-e. He referred to It as ths
4most modern method of constructive poll-
Mcs and said its object was to prevent
Una domination and control of govern-
snent by a political machine. Houston

?preferential ballot having useo. u lor na

'1 "It is a great Improvement he said.
' fever the old plan of having two elec-
tions to decide who receives the majority
-example the last election for United
(States senator. The second election en-
ttaited great expense upon the candidates
.and if the law is continued it will be a
! great mistake. The same result as was
obtained under this faulty system can be
secured by adopting the preferential bal-
lot. unui it would
jMAVB WORKED OUT. .
t This is the way it would have worked
. la the last democratic primary (or United
v flutes senator:
"All of the people who voted for Cul-i-berson
at the second election but who
did not vote for him at the first elec-
'tion. if the preferential ballot had been
--in operation would hsA'e given Senator
iniiDerson meir secona or uiira cnoice
''votes and thus be would have gotten the
'majority with one election and saved
oil the expense and time of a second pri-
mary election.
"Wherever the pseferential ballot has
been adopted it has been demonstrated
that the man whom the people think is
: the best to serve in the office has been
elected or nominated for the simple rea-
1 son that by adding to the first choice
votes the second and third choice votes
: he gets a majority of all votes cast in
; the primary.
' OBJECT TO PREVENT
MACHINE DOMINATION.
The purpose of the preferential bal
lot as originally designed was to pre-
- Tent the domination and control of gov-
ernment by political machines and to In-
. sure the nomination of people who were
the choice of a majority of all the voters.
As an example we will presume that a
' mayor and four commissioners have been
tn charge of the city government for a
number of years: have become arrogant
and have built up a political machine to
Insure their perpetuation in office. They
have shown favor to all of the employes
- of the city by making their Jobs easy
and complying with all their requests.
They have employed many men upon a
good salary who1 were not actually need-
- ed and in other ways have gathered
around them a force which of itself if
' voted strong would give them almost a
plurality. Under the old form of voting
where a plurality elected a man it was
very difficult to dislodge officials who
Ikall nefttJMtlul thmwlM iirvthla manner
but under the preferential ballot ma-
china can not be built so strong but
wnat tne people can easily ores them.
UP TO THE PEOPLE
TO DTCIDE.
"It is up to the people to decide wheth-
-r they win use the preferential ballot as
efeelgned or whether they will use it in
: accordance) with the old plan thus vot
ing ior only one man once. No voter is
compelled by the preferential ballot to
vote for any candidate for second or third
cnoioe.
Mr. Paatorisa said the proposal to have
the preferential 'ballot amendment added
to the charter had .been made as a re-
sult of IS years' study and experiment in
' city government on bis and the part of
" other city official and he expressed the
belief that other cities of Texas would
adopt tn system because of its protec-
tive value.

on display before rhe world at the Tex-
as Woman's Fair to be held in Houston
November t o 11.
No effort has been spared to secure
exhibits. State. county community
school individual and special exhibitors
will h there.
Chairmen from many counties have acj
cepted the Invitation to supervise mo
exhibit of their respective counties.
No hetter home mission work can be
done bv Texas women than by assisting
In every way possible -the chairman of
their county.
Men can not do more philanthropic
work or more effective advertising than
by helping the county -chairman make
a creditable exhibit. This especially ap-
plies to bankers reel estate men and
commercial clubs.
No better advertising medium for a
county Is to be found than a good ex-
hibit at the fair.
HOW HOW COUNTIES
STAND A PRODUCERS.
These exhibits will show the world
how counties stand as producers of flow-
ers fruits vegetables and all farm
products. They also show the diversity
of Texas crops by counties.
There lsaio other organisation in Tex-
as that offers to women of the various
counties as much encouragement for
knowing the communities' resources or
one that gives the women of the State
such a Broad field for individual ex-
pression and such intimate knowledge
of their local conditions and the oppor-
tunity for Improvement as well as dis-
cussing and comparing ways and means
for community betterment which is not
only of mutual benefit to women but of
value to all.
A unique program has been prepared
for each day of this fair. A special point
has been made to make the fair both
educational and entertaining but the
proper balance between instruction and
entertainment has been the aim of the
management "
FAIR OF INTEREST
TO EVERY ONE.
While this fair is of interest to women
and children It is of equal importance to
men. The county exhibits will prove of
essential interest to the latter.
County exhibits may include every in
teresting thing that can be gathered in a
county a collection or sous ana every-
thing that grows therein minerals relics

And we ask the men of Texas' the
women or Texas the canning clubs the
Texas school children that each and
every one do all they can to tielp their
county chairman make a successful coun-
ty representation.
We are asking. In faith believing t lint
every man. woman and child in Texas
is interested in educational and Industrial
betterment and that each will do their
part towards making thr county ex-
hibit the beet possible and so will be
glad to say to the admirers at their

CHICAGO 111 It s ail a matter of

we're clean. But we're not. At least so

settlements when one of "the great un-
wasnea arops in Irom the stock yards
he is ereeted with true orient ia I hoanital-
Ity. They invite him to take a bath be-
fore he mingles.
The other night a Greek was shown into
the baths. The house doctor stepped In.
Astounding! Here's "one of them" thst
actually was clean when he arrived. Sur
gically clean! His skin glowed.
The doctor asked him "When have you
had a bath?"
'Two years aeo." was the reolv. "The
last time one of you Americans made me
wasn to be clean as you call it.
After the doctor had recovered he asked
the young Greek how he managed to keep
so ciean.
We don't wash wlih soan and water"
was the answer. "We use oil. We rub It
In. We rub the dirt out of the pores and
work the oil into the skin. You are never
clean. Your American coan lust flakes
over tne pores ana makes the skin dry
and hard. We bathe as yyu call It with
oil palm and olive to make our akin
young to make us feel good."
He spoke perfect English. His conver-
cation showed that he was Drobablv from
one of the better Grecian families. It
seems thst the better class of people in
his country still use palm and olive oils
in their baths.
This custom is as old as Ervnt. When
the Kile was the scene of imperial splen
dor men and women were even more
ardent devotees of dress and toilet than
they are today. They spent hoars beauti.
fylng their bodies and palm and olive
oils were considered essential in this mys
tic rite tor in a country of such ex
treme dryness It was a problem to keen
the skin soft and smooth.
W ith the aid of these two areat natural
cltansing agents. Egyptian belles defie
ine en oris oi rut me sun goa. to worx
havoc with their beauty.
But the history of oalm and olive oils
does not end with ancient Egypt. The
luiurj-iovinr ureess quicaiy aiscoveren
their value. Beauty of body was a religion
with them. They bathed dally not mere
ly to be clean but to "make their skins
young" and to keep the body supple and
youthful.
Later in history the sumptuous marble
baths of the Romans were never without
tneir palm and olive oils. They were the
great original physical culturists. Anoint-
ment with oil in bathing was the most Im
portant part of their culture. When their
legions returned from distant camosjans.
the soldiers sought the baths not merely
io oe ciean. dui to oe ruoDea with tne
lather of palm and olive oils. This oil wSa
worked into the pores of the skin. It
made the surface muscle suppte restored
youth to the skin and most of all it re-
vivified ralm and olive oils played suoh
a part In the lives of these ancient people
to whom beauty of body was ell that It
became a part of their religion. The olive
tree became the symbol of peace and the
olive wreath the adornment of the vic-
torious warrior. . '. .
Today in ancient Egypt tourists still
visit the ruins of Cleonetra'e hath located
on the banks of the Nile about quarter
of a mile from the famous temple of
Luxor. f .
Scattered around the shores of the Med-
iterranean wherever the Romans settled
tourists still find ruins of elaborate baths;
and marble slabs upon -which-these an-
cient warriors were rubbed with palm and
olive oils to keep their bodies fit. . -

well merited and hsjre brought about a
demand for organisation system and un-
ification "of the work. 'There. ere many
reasons why this has not been remedied
especially fa the South one Of which
and not the least Important has been -ths
lack of trained workers who .understood
first the Southern conditions and prob-
lems mhdrsecond. the beet .methods by
which' these problems oould- be solved.
For some years New Tork and Chios go
have maintained setioola of this character
with such success that philanthropic work
la rapidly being put on a sound busi-
ness and systematic basis In those sec-
tions lying within the Influence of these
schools. The object of the Texas Bohool
of Civlos and Philanthropy which opens
Its doors Monday in Houston is to .bring
about those results most desirable by the
training of students who have been born
and reared In the South and who under-
stand the- Southern problems and con-
ditions. Few Southern people have
availed themselves of the New York end
Chicago schools because of the cost of
going so tar for training.
TRAINED WORK ERSAVES '
MONET IN LONG RUN. N
"Aside from' the advantage of giving
Houston trained workers there are many
other advantages to be gamed by haying
such s school In Houston. Not the least
of which Is the financial saving te our
cltlsens. It being an established fact that
a trained worker will. In A much shorter
period of time and st much less cost
per capita: rehabilitate a tamuy ana piece
it in the clan of self suDDOrtlnc and pro
ductive cltlsens. The science of helping
others to help themselves .which this
school will teach brings about a more
Industrious and satisfied cltlsertlhip.
"The advantage of co-operation between
alt philanthropic agencies In the city is
in no small measure brought about by
such a school. And In this feature alone
the money saved each year will more than
pay the expenses of the school. As our
students graduate and find positions in
other cities throughout the State s greater
co-operation between sucn ciues ana
Houston will be brought about.
"One of the greatest problems we have
to meet In cities the slse of Houston Is
the sending of the Indigent pobrVfrom the
email communities to tne city uur stu-
dents co-oiratlna with the Various or-
nnlsaflona throughout the State will

without giving anything In return. Our
school was not organised for the mere
Surpass of having such a scnooi in
lousten. but for the more serious work
of preparing trained workers for a field
that has been neglected for years and
one that has a very serious bearing not
only on present society but upon the lives

on this side the Atlantic and to the tomb
of the Great Discoverer. Nowhere else
In this hemisphere' are there scenes

"The American campaign to capture

statement Issued by the bureau.

"It Is expected without violating the
present antitrust law tp give American
manufacturers some of the advantages
that were hoped from the Webb bill
which the last congress failed to pass.
The organisation of this company l
regarded as the most important and far-
reaching step the Industry has taken to
broaden Its markets and meet the com-
Ktltlen of the thoroughly organised lutn-
r exporters In Northern Europe. In
conjunction with the investigation of Eu-
ropean lumber markets recently under-
taken Jointly by the lumber tflen and the
bureau of foreign and domestic com-
merce. It should give-American lumber a
decided advantage over all competitors In
the trade struggle that will foUow ths
war. .
"Immediate attention will be given to
standardisation of grades to the condi-
tioning of export lumber and to an active
propaganda In foreign countries. Lack of
attention in the past to these very im-
portant details accounts in large measure
for the failure of American lumber to hold
Its own against more efficient com-
netltors. "The company was organised as a re-
sult of meetings of interested lumbermen
held recently at Ban Francisco and the
following officers are announced: Presi-
dent W. H. Talbot; general manager A.
A. Baxter; secretary Charles E. Hill."
The organisation of the company es
said to have been approved by represen-
tatives of the federal trade commission
who have been on the-Pacific coast for
