TENTH TIGERS HERE
TOWIGHT FOR OUTVIE
WITH BENBS_
(By Robin Hooper)
With the current grid sea-
son drawing to a close, you
will have your last opportuni-
ty to see the Bears in action on
the home field as they ring
down the curtain tonight in a
game with our neighbors, the
Tenaha Tigers.
This game as usual will at-
tract many fans from Tenaha,
and with the Roughriders idle
this week, no doubt many Cen-
ter fans will be here to witness
this contest, so let’s all turn
out and let the Bears know
that we are still behind them.
Coach Clark reports that the
Bears are ready and news
comes from the Tiger camp
that they will be here trying to
hand the first defeat on the
Bears, a feat that so far has
not been accomplished in dis-
trict play.
The game will start at 7:30
o’clock, so let’s pack the park.

UNDER THE DOME AT AUSTIN
(By Gordon K. Shearer. United Press Staff Correspondent)
Austin, Tex., Nov. 17. (UP)
—Retirement pay. for judges is
the next old age plan likely to
come before the Texas legisla-
ture. The same arguments
are being advanced for it as
for teacher retirement. Judges’
retirement has the added pres-
tige of federal use of such a
system.
In the last year or so, there
have been repeated instances
of members of courts of civil
appeals certifying physical in-
ability of a fellow member to
serve. In such cases a special
judge is named.
Judge J. F. MullsUy recent-
ly ic-'gned at Laredo from the
district bench. He is 81 years
old and would have had two
more years to serve.
—UP—
- An aged man on the bench
in Texas is required to sacri-
fice his own well being to re-
tire when he feels a younger
man might better carry the
work.
Young men on the State Su-
preme Court have resigned to
reenter private practice that
offered greater assurance of
old age income. Judge Nel-
son Phillips and Judge T. B.
Greenwood both have entered
into private practice. Judge
F. A. Williams resigned a
number of years ago to resume
private practice at Galveston.
—UP—
The teachers are losing no
opportunity to bring pressure
on the Legislature to carry out
the state’s part of the teacher
retirement program. Under it,
teachers who have been teach-
ing 20 years or more become
i eligible for retirement at 60.
First eligibles will be in 1939.
The teachers now are contri-
buting a share of their salaries
to the fund. The state is sup-
posed to provide the balance.
R. H. Blister, Waco, president
of the teachers’ association,
has enlisted the aid of the
state board of education in the
movement. The Texas Feder-
ation of Women’s Clubs has
also called'on the legislators to
provide the promised funds.

Gerald Mann, attorney gen-
eral-elect, is the first of the
new state officials to come to
Austin house hunting. Mann
hopes to get settled here in De-
cember, if possible, and make
plans for his administration.
Mann has selected his first
assistant and intimated he will
announce the appointment
soon. He then expects to an-
nounce the men who will head
the different divisions of the
state legal staff. The remain-
ing personnel will be decided
upon later.
The new attorney general
does not intend to make a
clean sweep of the present
state legal force. Who will be
retained Mann has not said,
but he pointed out that litiga-
tion now under .way might
make it .advisable to continue
with men who have been han-
dling it.

LOOT OF QESPEflftDO
Mineral Wells, Tex-, Nov.
17. (UP)—A young civil engi-
neer watched over a crow -of
workmen tonight who sank a
shaft into 'East mountain in
search for $80,900 in gold be-
lieved buried by Sam Bass, the
Indiana farm boy who became
Texas’ most infamous despera-
do.
Will R. Jones, former city
engineer at Graham, Anally
succeeded in securing permis-
sion from Mrs. A. B. Conway,
owner of the hillside, to dig
for the treasure on the knob
that overlooks Mineral Wells’
finest hotel. i
The legend of Sam Bass’
treasure has been told through
Palo Pinto county’s mesquite
bushes and over the nigged
little mountain range since
■Bass was shot down by Texas
rangers at Round Rock in
1878.
Jones.has two things to spur
him on. One is the tale of In-
dian Joe, an Eagle Creek an-
cient who claims that Bass
buried his stolen wealth in
Palo Pinto county.
The other is a "doodle bug,’
a gold finding device of unes-
tablished virtue.

said today when demonstrat-
ing the doodle bog. "Here'

NEW iZ! DECREES
DUE 719,011 JEWS
SUED EM LIFE
Berlin, Nov. 17. (UP)—The
United States today ordered
its commercial attache and hfa
family to quit Berlin “as
quickly as possible” and fol-
low Ambassador Hugh B. Wil-
son back to Washington as
new Nazi decrees drove 100,-
000 frantic Jews nearer to
ghetto life.
Der Angriff, -organ of Propa-
ganda Minister Paul Joseph
Goebbels, who is one of the
leaders of Germany's violent
anti-Semitism, announced
preparations to drive Jews
from their homes through the
Reich.
"The government is prepar-
ing a decree canceling for
Jew tenants the protective
law, together with its provi-
sion that notice is required in
order to out tenants,” the an-
nouncement said.
“It is officially estimated
that 8,000 homes in Berlin
alone will be vacated because
Jews in the future will be un-
able to afford the expense of
the homes. Large de luxe
apartments probably will be
partitioned among Germans."
Germany’s Jews, already
stripped of one-third of their
wealth, according to Nazi esti-
mates, and burdened by a col-
lective “fine” and damages to-
taling about $500,000,000,
feared that Goebbels’ an-
nouncement heralded a move
to establish ghettos.

WHAT DOES “LIQUID” MEAN
IN BANKING?
!
The term “liquid” in banking, is used to denote
assets in the form of cash or readily convertible into
cash,
A bank does not keep all of its depositors’ money
in currency and coins, for such money would stand
idle. Some is used to buy Government or other
bonds and commercial paper, and some to make
short-term loans. These are liquid, because they
may be quickly converted into cash.
One of the banker's problems is to keep his bank
liquid enough to satisfy all probable demands of
depositors for funds, and yet participate, by sound
loans, in the constructive development of the com-
munity.
