were engaged in hot discussion to-
day as to the best way*to cook a
young two-pound Plymouth Rock

brethren, over the matter. Let
each man have his chicken as he

Austin, Texas, July 20.—Highway
building problems in Te^as are
rpany and varied, according to Joe
Burkett,'Eastland, member of the
Texas highway commission. ' Mr.
Burkett made the statement after an
automobile trip of 2,030 miles mostly
in the western part of the state.
In the southern and southeastern
parts of the state. Commissioner
Burkett declared bridges are badly
qeeded, hard surfaced roads ure
relatively few and what roads there
are are subject to overflow from
the coverlnging rivers which stop
travel for days at a time, except .at
a few high water bridges.
In East Texas, the forests and
swamps, he asserted, present a dif-
ficult problem. Moreover, he said,
that section lacks road building ma-
terial and it is therefore very ex-
pensive to construct a high type
road, d^ie to the long haul of stone
and gravel.
Central Texas, Commissioner
Burkett indicated, is in a somewhat
better position for road material
but there the streams are swifter
and flood damage to roads and
bridges is greater than in the more
level southern and eastern regions.
“West Texas,” he said, “presents
its own problem. Material is abun-
dant except in the plains country.
Creeks and draws that are dry most
of the year become raging torrents,
sometimes even as the result of
local showers. For this reason
many culverts and bridges and good
road grades must be constructed.
Then, during drouths, construction
is difficult becuuse of the high winds
which blow the loose particles and
cause long delays in settling the
dump for surfacing.' This section
has many mountains of great beauty,
with narrow valleys and running
streams which makes it a potential
pleasure and health resort for all
Texas. This is especially true of
the country around Alpine, Fort
Davis, Fort Stockton, Balmorhea,
Marfa, and Van Horn.
"The plains is really the most
beautiful and fertile section of
Texas. Road building is compar-
atively easy, except for long hauls
for road materials. Some of the best
dirt roads in the state are found
heie, though in wet weather the
I roads are almost impassable.
“This section of the state is far
! behind other potential pleasure and
j health resorts, but with an awaken-
ing to the need of better roads, the
| Plains region, in my opinion, will be
foremost in good roads within the
i next five years.”
Paris, July 19.—A man crawling
on his hands and knees on a busy
downtown street today attractecPan
enormous crowd.
“Who are you?” asked the fjrst
policeman who arrived.
“I thought I was a man, but I
read in the newspapers that I am
descended from the monkey,” he
replied, continuing to crawl.
“Where are you going?”
“I am Aoing to the woods.”
The policeman discovered he was
a guard named Bellet from an in-
sane asylum, who had^-become in-
sane himself.

Temple, July 19.—Lewellen, 30,
a farmer residing near Heidenhei-
mer, 10 miles south of here, is in a

being held for investigation.
Both men are farmer tenants oil
the same place, and are said to
have been at outs over their stock.
Lewellen was shot with a small
.38 caliber pistol, one hall entering
the left-side, and lodgng in the
muscles of the back, while the other
drilled his left arm. The shooting
occurred at Lewellen’s home about
9 o’clock.
