NOBODY'S BUSINESS
By Jl'LIAN CAPERS, Jr.
Auntin—Rambling of diacontent
in the atale highway department,
which have been heard in Austin for
several month*, are directly attribut-
able to an old and tronbleaome ques-
tion growing out o! a fundamental
difference of viewpoint between en
gineera and administrators. The
crux of the matter is whether cities
and towns shall be left off main high-
ways, in rerouting them, or whether
they ahall he included. The engin-
eer* envision the main state highways
as speedways extending item one
border ol the state to an opposite
border, by passing cities and towns,
wherever possible. Their enforce-
ment of this policy has raised biller
conflicts many times, when citizens
and buainasa men in the towns have
objected to seeing the highways
which have led these towns changed,
leaving these towns “high and dry.’*
highways should not be retouted to
divert this business away. Chairman
Harry Hires of the highway com-
mission shares the governor’s view
largely. The controversy has be-
come acute witbiu recent weeks, and
may result in some drastic action
soon.
A typical illustration ia the eight-
mile stretch of highway between
Temple and Belton, on one of the .
. , . . .u / i ol dollars a year by transferring its
most important thorofares leading '. °
J. E. McDonald, commissioner ol
sgriculture, won a partial victory
when the house, hearing evidence
on a motion to impeach him, found
him guilty of acts for which hr
should he censured, Lut not im-
peached. McDonald, supported in
his trial by the race track interests,
has announced for re-election, but
upshot of his various hearings and
trials may be a movement by the
legislature to abolish his office. A
substantial bloc in the house declar-
es the office is wholly unnecessary,
most ol its original duties having
been taken over by the extension
service and the county agricultural
agents. They see an oppsrlunity to
save the state a good many thousands

I automobile—travelling
from North Texas to Austin and San
Antonio. Tbit piece of highway,
built by Jim Ferguson when he was
governor, aa an “experiment” con-
sists of four narrow lines ot brick
pavement laid in asphalt. Theoreti-
cally, the brick is supposed to pro-
vide a runway for the wheels of
motor can. Actually, the brick has
sunk below grade, and it is virtually
impossible to keep the wheels ol a
car on the brick lanes. The road is
exceedingly difficult and dangerous
and has been cursed by more motor-
ists, perhapa than any other stretch
of highway in Texas. Gov. Allred,
in his campaign lor governor, prom-
ised to rapav* it; funds are available
to do the work, but highway to by-
pass both Temple and Belton. Cit-
izens ol both towns vigorously op-
pose this.
Gov. Allred takes the position the
highway engineers have been too
drastic in their efforts to avoid city
traffic congestion. He leels that the
highways are intended to aetve the
citizens of small communities, too,
and not merely to provide speed
ways from one large city to another.
The little towns have suffered greatly
by the development of motor car
traffic, destroying the maikcts ol
local merchants; the governor thinks
il any compensating business comes
to them from tourist sources, the
tew remaining duties to A. & M
college or some other department,
and repealing the law creating the
office of coromisisoner of agricul-
are driving along tn your
at a
reasonable rata ot speed. Vour
brakes are good; your motor is
functioning smooth!?; your tires
are In fine condition. But a new
public enemy ts riding with you!
A public enemy few motorists sus-
pect; a vicious enemy that may
strike you dead by suddenly throw-
ing your Judgement out ot focus,
by dangerously diminishing your
natural alertness.
That enemy la carbon monoxide,
and the fact that 80 percent of au
tomoblle accidents are caused by
"unaccountable” loss ot control
■bows the vital importance of con-
stant testa to make sure that your
automobile is not expelling danger-
ous quantities of carbon monoxide
—the poison that dulls the alert-
ness of drivers.
Itecent examinations by highway
authorities Indicate that 66 percent
of cars examined showed this gas
present In excessive amounts. They
not only seeped through front Boor
boards, but air currents frequently
propelled them Into the Interior of
the car.
To fight this ever-present enemy,
which brings on headaches, dizzi-
ness, nauseau and often complete
heart collapse, engineers have de-
vised the Power Prover. a scien-
tific means of ascertaining If a mo-
tor needs adjustment to eliminate
the dangers of carbon monoxide.
Thousands of drivers have availed
themselves of this test, and discov-
ered that they had been driving with
the menace ot carbon mouoxiue
constantly In their cars.
With many Insurance companies
and safety committees urging' that
every motorist make a power prov-
er test of Ills car at regular Inter-
vals. It will not be long until the
danger of carbon monoxide can be
cut to a minimum degree.

Rep. Albert Dan el ol Crockett
brought to Austin a football yarn
about a banquet tendered last sea-
son to an East Texas high school
Iootball team that had a d sastrous
season. Coaches of SMU, A & M,
Baylor and other losing colleges and
high schools were speakers. They
all spoke in the same vein, pointing
out that a team didn’t have to he a
winner to get the benefits of foot-
ball; told how it taught sportsman-
ship and built character, to learn
how to lose gracefully. Finally,
they called on the roach ot a little
Class B high school that had won its
district championship.
“Gentlemen.” he said briefly,
“I’m just the coach of a little old
Class U high school team, but I'm
glad I’m here tonight, 1’re learned
something important, and this is il;
It you win, you’re a swell coach; and
il you lose, why, you’re a character
builder.”
