FUNERAL SERVICES
HELD WEDNESDAY
FOR HASTINGS SMITH
Hastings Smith, a deputy sheriff of
■Burnet County, died Tuesday night
at his home in Briggs. He was out
hunting Tuesday and came home and
soon after became ill and suffered a
heart attack which resulted in his
death. Funeral services were con-
ducted Wednesday afternoon by Rev.
George H. Brown Jr., and interment
followed in the Briggs cemetery.
Mr. Smith is survived by his wid-
ow and four children and the many
friends here and in Burnet County
extend sympathy in their sorrow.
He had been a peace officer at Briggs

PHOENIX, ArizV, Dec. 28.—Winnie
Ruth Judd, condemned to die Febru-
ary 17 for the slaying of Agnes Anne
Leroi, regaining which she repeated-
ly has said the whole truth never has
been told, was given a chance to talk
Wednesday by the Maricopa County
grand jury.
What she related, if anything, in
connection with the trunk murders of
Mrs. Leroi for whose death she was
convicted and sentenced, and Hedvig
Samuelson, for slaying of whom a
murder information still pends against
her, remained a secret behind the
locked doors of the grand jury room.
While Mrs. Judd’s unexpected ap-
pearance before the inquisitorial body
followed recently renewed hints of
both herself and her husband, Dr.
William C. Judd, to tell all, the ini-
tiative in Wednesday’s move was ta-
ken by the grand jury itself.
Mrs. Judd was brought to Phoenix
in response to a grand jury subpena
served upon her and state prison of-
ficials at Florence in the morning.
She did not know, officials said, un-
til she was well on her way to Phoe-
nix by automobile from Florence—a
67-mile trip—the purpose of her re-
moval from prison, or what her des-
tination was to be.
For an hour and a half she re-
mained in the grand jury room. Oc-
casionally her strident voice was
heard beyond the heavy oak doors
in the courthouse corridors, although
the words were unintelligible.

C. W. ROBERTS PUBLISHES
NEW PAPER AT GATESVILLE
HOOVER TO GET BILL
FREEING FILIPINOS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—House
leaders plan to lay the long-disputed
issue of Philippine independence on
the White House doorstep by Thurs-
day night.
The agreement on a 10-year inde-
pendence program, already approved
by the senate, was submitted to the
houses Thursday by Chairman Hare
of the insular affairs committee. Un-
der the rules, conference reports must
be over one day and Hare served no-
tice it will be taken up Thursday.
Debate will be limited to one hour.
Representative Rainey, the democrat-
ic leader, said the huge majority by
which the bill was passed last session
made approval of the conference re-
port virtually certain. Representa-
tive Snell, the republican leader, said
he aRo expected the house to send
the bill to President Hoover. A pos-
sibility M delay was seen, however,
in the necessity of holding a quorum
if a roll call vote is offered. Though
leader? do not expect any diffculty
in this direction, the failure of a quor-
um to answer on a record vote might
postpone final action.
Besides granting independence in
10 years, if the Filipinos ratify a
constitution, to be framed in an is-
land convention, the bill would limit
shipments of sugar and coconut oil
into the United States pending free-
dom.
A new paper came to our notice
the past week which is published by
C. W. Roberts at Gatesville, our
neighboring town. Mr. Roberts is
well known to most of the Lampasas
people and was formerly publisher
of the Lampasas Record. He made
a good start as shown by the first
issue of the paper which is known as
The Coryell County News, which car-
ried a nice line of advertising from
the merchants of that place. Our
wish for Charlie is that he may en-
joy a nice business in this new lo-
cation.
We Thank You.

PITHY PICKUPS
Little things are great to little men.
You have known heroes—they really
exist.
Sometimes all the early bird gets
is up.
A man can be “generous to a fault”
If it is his own.
Give everyone pretty teeth and we
shall have more smiling.
Can you personify a pain? Even
the Greek mythology didn’t try to.
City people walk a great deal. They
have to; if it is only to climb stairs.
If you diet to get thin, how many
years might it take off of your life?
Houses will always be built of the
rocks. We have a whole planet full
of them.
Man has a great deal of foresight
when he hasn’t many more years to
use it in.
There are saints even now, though
they perform no miracles—except that
of being one.
What is the reason for teaching a
college boy 10,000 fine words if he
won’t use them?
Diffident young people must be
forced into company if they are ever
to acquire poise.
An Indian never developed a habi-
tation that would keep the cold out,
so he never had a cold.
Americans, speaking generally, scorn
authority. It is in the atmosphere.
Does that explain our crime?
Visitors to picture galleries will
gather before a queer painting, but
they will sigh before a good one.
“Company From America”
Appreciated in Orient
Anybody might claim to be widely
known and appreciated for whom a
native of Shanghai would build an
addition to his home, hopeful of a
visit some time. That’s just the posi-
tion in which Dr. Samuel J. Braden-
burg of Clark university and Mrs.
Brandenburg find themselves.
When Dr. George H. Blakeslee
reached Shanghai recently on his mis-
sion for Uncle Sam, he hunted up Lee
Su, who formerly was a student at
Clark. The young man showed Doctor
Blakeslee a wing he had just added
to his already luxurious home and
said Doctor and Mrs. Brandenburg
had promised to visit him some day,
and he had the rooms prepared, ready
for their coming, “company from
America” for whom the best is none
too good in the Orient.—Worcester
Telegram.
Teddy Bear Sanctuary
Koalas, known colloquially as “na-
tive bears,” real live teddy bears in
soft, plush-like fur, have lately become
the objects of special solicitude, both
official and private, in Australia. For
several generations nobody paid any
attention to them, for they were so
numerous that it never occurred to
Australians that they could ever be-
come scarce. But a highly fatal epi
demic got started among them some
years ago, killing them by thousands
Shooting koalas is now forbidden.
Even more promising is the setting
aside of well-supervised sanctuary
areas, where not only these attractive
marsupials but also other interesting
but threatened native animals and
plants can have a chance for their
lives.
Platinum Mist
Platinum is caused to evaporate like
water by a discovery announced from
the California Institute of Technology.
This precious vapor, probably the
world’s highest-priced mist, condenses
into unimaginably thin films upon a
wide variety of materials. It coats
them virtually permanently. Smoother
than dew it will cover fibers, convert-
ing them into pliant, filmy threads that
seem made of pure platinum.
New Target Gives Score
Marksmen may learn their scores in-
stantly from a target recently invented
in Germany. When a bullet hits a
numbered ring its corresponding num
ber appears automatically at the side of
the target. The rings are of steel and
a standard paper target is placed over
them. Numbers run from 10, indicat-
ing a bull’s eye, down to 1, on the
outer ring.
Profitable Shooting
At Chicago, Tom Anderson’s shoot-
ing was so good that he won a turkey
at a rifle range. Inside the turkey’s
gizzard his wife found a diamond.
The bird came from a farm somewhere
In Michigan, but Anderson said he was
not worrying about that.
In Practice
Senator Buzz—Do you think that
going into politics improves a man’s
disposition?
Senator Duzz—Yes. He has to look
pleasant often enough to have his pic-
ture taken for campaign, purposes.—
Pathfinder Magazine.
Unanimous
First Actress—In my love scene in
the first act I didn’t know whether to
close my eyes or not.
Second Actress—I noticed a similar
Indecision in the audience.—Sydney
Bulletin.
No Escape
“It’s an awful business, going to a
wedding.”
“Then why go?”
“Idiot! I am forced to go, It’s my
own.”
Duped in the Dark
Mrs. A.—My husband has no Idea
what I go through when he snores,
Mrs. B.—Mine never misses his smal!
change either.
SHORT SMILES
Lessening His Wants
Mother—Baby has a new tooth!
Father—Well, that’s one thing lefts
for him to cry for.
All Gone
Jack—I’ve lost all my i'rkmis.
Jim—How ?
Jack—I sold my car.
Must Be
Biff—Those two boneheads are hav-
ing a battle of wits.
Bamm—Oh. a sham battle!
Effect of Shock
Cutlip—Why can’t you sleep?
Heald—Well, you see, everytime I
fall asleep the jar awakes me.
Hadn’t Tried It
Jim (at race track)—Are you a
pretty good judge of horseflesh?
Joe—I don’t know. Never ate any.
Just So
Amos—How do you like the new
two-piece bathing suits?
Andy—Eyes regusted!
Literally
Spendalot—Well, how has everything
gone since I last saw you?
Hardup—Everything’s gone!
Cruel
Addie Noyd—I just came from the
beauty parlor.
Lum Bago—And they were closed!
Cynical Youngster
“Yes, my boy, the whole creation
was made in seven days.”
“Well, it looks it.”
Safety First
“Did you tell Mr. Beinlich that he
is father of triplets?”
“No, he is still shaving.”
No Need of Mechanism
“I’ve got to buy a billfold.”
“What’s the matter? Can’t you fold
them by hand?”—Life.
Not Applied
“Why do you speak of your husband
as a theory?”
“Because he so seldom works.”—
Life.
That Much Sure
Eve—Aren’t you sorry for my fa-
ther? He has the gout.
Adam—Sure. I have no kick com-
ing.
Parsonage and White House
According to the Christian Herald.,
during one-fourth of our nationhood
there have been parsonage children
presiding over the White House. Abi-
gail Adams was the daughter of a Con-
gregational minister. The wives of
both Millard Fillmore and Franklin
Pierce were parsonage born. James
A. Garfield was an ordained minister.
Grover Cleveland was the descendant
of a long line of ministerial forbears.
Mrs. Benjamin Harrison was the
daughter of Rev. John W. Scott. Both
Woodrow Wilson and his first wife
were parsonage children. James Mad-
ison studied for the ministry in his
youth. Chester A. Arthur was the son
of a Baptist minister. Hula Min-
thorn Hoover was a Quaker preacher,
while Lou Henry Hoover is the grand-
daughter of a Methodist minister.
Amusing “Frog Races”
The frog races are an annual affair
called the “Calaveras County Frog
Jumping Contests,” held on or about
May 20, at Angels Camp, Calif. This
little town is the scene of Mark
Twain’s classic jumping frog tale, and
it is probably this story that has sug-
gested the present contests. The last
contest was attended by at least 20,000
people and the scene was highly rem-
iniscent of frontier days. A frog
named Budvveiser again won the world
record and broke his former record by
the tremendous leap of 13 feet 5
inches.
Rat Trap Watch Charm
A rat trap of gold is one of the
many royal relics and curiosities which
was exhibited in public for the first
time this fall in the king’s palace of
Stockholm. It is small and enameled,
and made for a watchcharm rather
than for use. Snuff boxes in precious
metals, deformed bullets extracted
from the wounds of Swedish kings,
jeweled decorations and odd memen-
toes found in various Swedish palaces,
miniature portraits of princes and even
royal regalias found in the tombs of
kings are included.
Washington’s Money Chest
A money chest, once the property of
George Washington, is owned by Jewel
Dodd in Batesville. Ark. The chest
is twelve inches long, five inches wide
and three inches deep. It is hand
made of red wood and is decorated
with brass nails. It is covered with
well-worn walrus hide.
India’s Oldest Man 129
The title of “India’s oldest man” is
claimed by Sadliu Kalyandas Ramdas
of Kurali. He Is one hundred and
twenty-nine, and can remember events
115 years ago. Sadhu is a devotee of
Vishnu. He recalls the fall of the last
Peshwa, hereditary head of the Mar-
atha state, in 1817.
Talented
“Has Doris had a good musical edu-
cation?”
“I’ll say she has. Just tell her the
name of a song, and she’ll tell you
what’s on the other side of the rec-
ord.”—American Mutual Magazine.

AFTER CHASE IN STREE
HOUSTON, Texas, Dec. 28.—Police
Tuesday outdistanced a lone bandit
in a thrilling chase through traffic-
jammed down-town streets after the
office of the Kirby Theater had been
robbed of $1,000 by a lone gunman.
A 19-year-old youth, Ray Zimmer-
man, former employe of the theater,
was held under a charge of robbery
by firearms after a squad of police
had forced his automobile into a curb
on the outskirts of the business area.
“You’ve got me—there’s the money
in the car,” the youth told officers
as they advanced with drawn pistols.
The youth held a pistol in his hands
but did not attempt to use it. A tota
of $920 was found in the automobil
Car Forced to Curb.
The youth’s car was forced to th
curb after the manager of the thea-
ter, Vinton Sholl, had notified two po-
licemen stationed nearby. The pa-
trolmen leaped into an automobile and
followed the machine indicated by
Sholl as the bandit car.
One officer fired twice at the tires
of the . fleeing automobile when the
machine reached lower Texas avenue,
in the vicinity of the Interurban Ter-
minal, where traffic was light. The
car was stopped a few feet after the
shots were fired.

ier and the treasurer were in the of-
fice counting the day’s receipts when
a lone gunman entered and covered
them with a pistol, he said.
“I shouted ‘hey’, when I saw the
bandit,” Sholl said. “He seized the
money and ran.”
The bandit fled down a fire escape
leading to a side street with Sholl in
pursuit. As the bandit reached a
parked automobile he whirled, drew
his gun and pressed it against Sholl.
The bandit forced Sholl backward in-
to the theater’s rear entrance, then
went back to the waiting automobile.
Sholl ran through the theater to Main
street, where he informed the two
policemen of the robbery. The ban-
dit’s car whizzed by the officers and
the theater manager as Sholl was
enlisting police aid.
