HEALTH NOTES
Austin, Texas.—“The ‘open sea-
son’ for the so-called common cold
has again arrived. Victims of this
general complaint wil leonstantly
increase during the winter months,
large numbers of persons will be-
come temporarily incapacitated,
many will become dangerously ill,
while yet others will succumb to
oc triplication*,” stated Dr. John W.
Brown, State Health Officer.
In spite of the* woderful strides
in disease prevention made in the
last few decades, the problem of the
common cold yet remains to be
solved. If the situation lent itself
to mass control, there possibly
would be no problem. Unfortunate-
ly. however, the matter cannot be
handled in that way. The solution,
in view of present-day limitations,
rests somewhat upon the intelligent
cooperation of the individual. So
far, this has proved to be an insur-
mountable barrier. The trouble
arises because the victim fails to
appreciate the possibility of ‘only
n cold.’ In fact, with the day’s work
to be done, it is difficutl to be self-
p rsuaded that one should remain at
home, and posisbly in bed, if over-
taken by such an infection. Feeling
quite able to move around, it is
hard to realize that rest and care
represent the b:st treatment not
only for the cold itself but as a
preventive of more dangerous sup-
plemental conditions.
The average person argues that
home and bed are all right when
one is too sick to be any place else.
However, the scientific facts prove
that most of the calamities now
charged to the common cold could
be avoided if one would at least

FROM OUR EARLY FILES
10 YEARS AGO
A pretty wedding occurred at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Berger
when their daughter, Miss Marjorie

E. Rnmsey, Rev. G. F. Gillespie per-
forming the ceremony.
Capt. Elliott Vandeventer, engi-

east of Palacios.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Cunningham

girl, who was given the name of
Mildred.
A heavy downpour of rain put the
roads in such a shape that the visit
to the El Campo Fair by Palacios
people hod to be called off. Our
stores had planned to close for the
days.

NOBODY’S
BUSINESS
By JULIAN CAPERS, Jr.
Austin.—The first called session
of the 44th legislature wrote finis
to its inglorious record of final en
actment of only one major piece of
legislation, and was promptly re-
call d by the governor for a second
30-day try at the job at a cost of
another $100,000 to the taxpayers.
The chain store tax bill—virtually
the sole alcomplishment of the
solons in a month of “work”—is so
badly patched up that it is full of
legal holes, and must be fought out
all over again, as amendments to
make it proof against court at-
tacks are submitted.
Some value doubtless attaches to
the long-drawn-out debate and com-
mittee wrangles over liquor regula-
tion, fee ofifeers’ salaries, and old
age pensions. Whether the legisla-
tors can capitalize this and utilize
it to speed enactment of these and
important tax measures to finance
the pensions during the second spec
ial session remains to be seen.

Three significant developments
occurred last week in the Texas oil
situation. They were:
1. The house hot oil investigating
committee weathered a stormy
three-hour debate and came |Out
with its life prolonged to April 1,
1936, and a -10,000 fund to make a
thoro probe of reported abuses in
the industry. The house flatly in-
structed its probers to make its
future hearings fair by permitting
witnesses to be represented by coun"
sel with the righ of cross-examina-
tion and with a warning to go
after major companies and not con-
fine its probe to a few small opera-
tors.
2. General improvement in mar-
ket conditions of the oil industry
whose normal prosperity means
millions of dollars weekly to thou-
sands of Texans. War activity in
Europe is credited with increasing
foreign demand which has firmed
American crude markets.
3. Holding of second successful
session of the interstate oil states
compact commission, where fur-
ther unanimous steps were taken by
representatives of the oil produc-
ing states to regulate their oil bus-
iness under their own constitution-
al powers. This significant state-
ment was made by Tom Anglin,
representing Okalhoma on the com-
mission:
“Other oil producing states are
amazed at the wonderful achieve-
ments of Texas in its fair, potriotic
efficient and honest regulation of
oil production. All of us can well
emulate the example set by Texas,
which is a tribute to that state’s
railroad commission and especially
its chairman, Col. E. O. Thompson.
We all look to him as the ablest
oil regulation administrator in the
land.”
Thousands of unemployed citi-
zens and dozens of communities in
Texas, are looking squarely to the
engineers department of the Texas
highway commission to see that
Texas does not lose any of the $23,-
000,000 allotted for extra highway
and grade crossing elimination in
the state. To get all these job giv-
ing millions, the highway engineers
must complete plans and let con-
tracts by July 1, 1936. A howl of
protest will go up from every com-
munity that fails to realize its
share if the time limit is permitted
to cheat them of their part of this
highway work.
Realizing they are “oh the spot”
the engineering field forces of the
highway department last week
launched the first of a series of
four meetings with road-building
contractors thruout the state, at
which B. W. Coulter, of the head
quarters engineering staff and C.
H. Newell, representative of the
contractors, are interpretating the
complicated regulations with which
the contractors must comply^
part of this program aTe being
built under five different federal
department allocations. The field
sessions were held in San Antonio
on Oct. 16th, Houston Oct. 17th,
and will move to Dallas on the 23rd
and Lubbock on Oct. 24th. Several
hundred road-builders and highway
engineering men attended each
meeting.
It is a wild flight of the imagina-
tion to suppose that the ideal of
universal peace can be assured.
To entertain such a possibility, it
would be necesary to believe that
every nation, be it powerful oi
wonk, would remain for all time
satisfied with its present position
in regard to al lother nations.
Nations have risen, nations have
fallen; nations once powerful have
sunk to comparative obscurity, and
others, once obscure, have increas-
ed in strength.
So surely that is the way it must
be!
William Ellyson, Jr„ advertising
manager of the Richmond (Va.)
News Leader, says:
“Many advertisers consider the
purchase of nowspap r space as
concluding the whole program.
Really, they haven’t bought any
more than a lot on which to build.
If they get the idea of attracting
attention and let their efforts end
there, they haven’t done any more
than build a signboard on that lot.
“To merit their investment in
newspaper space, advertisers must
erect in that space a structure that
does an efficient job correlated to
their needs.
“They must attract attention, but
when they have that attention they
must put their best foot forward
to sell their merchandise or their
idea.”
Between the press service and
the radio there is one thing a candi-
date can't be charged, with doing
today. That is making a statement
and th< n stating the contrary in an-
other section.—The Louisville Conr-
ier-Journnl.

Roosevelt brain-trust, now relegated
to a quiet job as head of the rural
resettlement administration, and
Senator Tom Connally are indulg-
ing in a small but bitter war over
location of the Texas-Oklahoma
headquarters of RRA in Stilwell,
Okla. The RRA recently had 1200
people—mostly ex-school teachers
—oi) its payroll in Texas, and they
haven’t “resettled” anybody yet,
Connally claims. The senator wants
the headquarters moved to some
central location in Texas, and some
results shown for the comparative-
ly large expenditure which the
RRA has made.
CARANCAHUA
That Gov. Jimmie Allred will be
a large factor in control of the next
Democratic convention delegation
from Texas—to be selected next
summer—is the conclusion of poli-
tical observers here. The visit of
Jesse Jones, who was a mansion
guests of the Allreds, the growing
political friendship between the gov-
ernor and the two Texas senators,
Allred’s recent conference at Uval-
de with Vice President Garner, his
visit with Mrs. Rooseevlt in Fort
Worth, and President Roosevelt’s
personal telegram to Allred anent
the celebration for Jones, are all
given due significance in the minds
of those who presume to forecast
future political events.
