HISTORICAL SCENES
STUDIED IN CLASS
Pictures of Europe were studied by
Miss Lucile Lemberg’s history and
English classes last Monday.
They consisted of monuments and
statutes of English writers and Med-
ieval Reformers, views of the main
streets, parks and castles of Edinburg
Scotland, and of theatres and other
points of interest just before and
during Queen Eilzabeth’s reign.
Miss Lemberg’s father, F. C. A.
Lemberg, collected these pictures
while touring Europe in 1914.

Reports of games played in the
county basketball tournament, held

11 a. m. between Lometa and Moline

The final game will be played to-

Sulphur is a useful household article
and is used extensively in the manu-
facture of rubber.

PRESIDENT OF “FISH”
New officers were elected by the
freshman class, Feb. 7, at the class
meeting. Frances Yarbrough was
elected president; Willis Moses, vice
president; George Taylor, secretary-
treasurer; and Mary Sue Tietz, re-
porter.

refreshments.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—Texans
drank 1,643,880 pints of 3.2 beer from
the time this beverage became legal
until the last bell chimed New Year
Eve, it was disclosed today in a liquor
tax report by the internal revenue
bureau.
This means that residents of the
Lone Star State consumed one glass
of beer for every two persons—men,
women, children and infants—over
the five-month period from August
through December.
In doing so they indirectly paid
the federal government $162,175 in
beer taxes. The revenue bureau’s
official report says that this total
was paid by Texas as excise tax on
fermented malt liquors at a rate of
$5 per barrel of 31 gallons.
The Lone Star State paid a total
of $349,527 in liquor taxes during
the year just ended, the report re-
vealed. The bulk of this total came
from beer, for in addition to the
$162,175 paid in beer taxes, licenses
for brewers, and wholesale and re-
tail beer dealers netted the govern-
ment $140,868, thus bringing a total
of more than $300,000 traceable di-
rectly to beer.
Next in amount of taxes tfrom
Texas were those received from li-
censes for rectifiers and wholesale
and retail liquor dealers. This
amounted to $45,829.
Sales of prescription liquors net-
ted the government only $648 from
Texas, at a production rate of $1.10
a gallon.

Your nephew,

As I have never been in love, I

If you will wear horn-rimmed glas-

you will have any trouble about
avoiding love.

WASHINGTON, (Feb. 12.—Presi-
dent Roosevelt was urged Monday by
Representative J. J. Mansfield, chair-
man of the house rivers and harbors
committee, to approve a loan of $4,-
500,000 for completion of the Hamil-
ton power dam on the Colorado River
near Kinsland, Texas.
In reply to Mansfield’s request, the
president asked that a memorandum
covering the application for the loan
be prepared for his personal study.
Mansfield, accompanied by Repre-
sentative Clark W. Thompson of Gal-
veston, pointed out that private in-
terests already had spent approxi-
mately $3,500,000 on the project but
will be forced to drop the work un-
less federal aid can be secured. The
application for the loan has been
pending before the PWA for some
time, they explained, but thus far
has failed to receive approval.
Not only could completion of the
project afford cheaper electric power
for a large section of Texas, but
would provide nearly 56 per cent of
the proposed flood control works
necessary n the Colorado River, Mans-
1 field told the chief executive. It is
: estimated he said, that nearly 270,000
acres of land now periodically flood-
ed by the river would be protected,

ed upon the president the necessity
I for protection of Texas sugar refiner-
] ies in the enactment of the sugar
i legislation recommended by the ad-
ministration.
If the Texas refineries are to con-
tinue operations, they must be given
a differential in the import tariffs
on refined and raw sugar, Mansfield
and Thompson told the president.
Under the present law, refined sugar
pays the same levy as raw sugar,
despite the fact that domestic re-
fineries lose approximately seven per
cent of the raw sugar in the refining
processes. The Texans were told by
the president to draft an amendment
to the administration program carry-
ing out their proposal and submit it
to him as soon as possible for his
study and action. They said they
would do this at once.

Dear Aunt Kate:
I am in love with a girl who is a
year older than I am. She is a
blonde. I love her more than any-
thing in this world but, she doesn’t
know it, and I’m afraid to tell her
because she doesn’t even like me. I’m
in a terrible shape because she flirts
with other boys and hardly speaks
to me. What can I do? Please help
me.

I would advise you to act sophisti-
cated even though you don't feel that
way. These blondes like sophisti-

Adults Contract Children’s
Diseases ,
Adults can, and do, contract many
children’s diseases. And, usually, they
suffer from them much more than
children do. For instance, many adult3
contract worms, an ailment usually
associated with children. Sometimes
they suffer intensely and take expen-
sive medical treatments, without reali-
zing that worms are the cause of their
troubles. Yet, the symptoms are the
same as in children, loss of appetite
and weight, grinding the teeth and rest-
less sleep, itching of the nose and anus,
and abdominal pains. And, the same
medicine that surely and harmlessly ex-
