A TEXAS
X CENTENNIAL
a Texan.”
The spirit of the Lone Star
Staters, demonstrated at this
turn into the calendar year
that marks an epic century
of independence and four
testi-
fies in advance of a great
homecoming in 1936.
Back home they will find
a state that across her vast
leagues has pressed to the
front. From the wilderness
has been carved an empire.
In Texas are the land's heal-
thiest, happiest, most inde-
pendent communities.
In a composite, this great
state will tell its stiry in the
blanketed hillsides, tree-
lined throughfares.
“Texans, taking the high
crime such as murder, rob-
iery and swindling?
We know that liquor does
way beautification plan of not cause all crimes but we

Commission more for grant-
ed in the sense that it will be
done than that it is being
done,” observed the Dallas
Morning News, “are surpris-
ed by the statement that 150
miles of the project already
have been completed.”
Another eighty miles will
be finished by next spring.
As the work in some stage of
advance is under way in
every county of Texas’ vast
254-county makeup, com-
at Hallas. Its gates will be
open June 6 to November
29.

Jac L. Gubbles, the land-
scape engineer in charge,
“has let no grass grow under
the feet of his forces,” com-
mented the News, “in seeing
to it that wild flowers, shrub-
bery and trees are encourag-
ed to grow along the high-
ways.
“The wilduower shows for
the twenty-two divisions of
the highway system in 1936
should go far toward encour-
aging first knowledge of the
ornamental possibilities in
indigenous growth that can
be easily developed and sec-
ond in showing what prog
ress has been made in in-
creasing the attractive ap-
pearance of the highway
system.
“The beautification pro-
gram was begun to interest
tourist vision in Texas’ nat-
ural beauty. The Centennia
furnished the inspiration.
The maintained program
should be a lasting monu-
ment to that event.”

A football game long
dreamed about for Dallas
will be one of S. M. U’s.,
contributions to the Texas
Centennial Exposition. It
will be a clash with Vander-
bilt University of Nashville,
Tenn., now coached by the
ex-head mentor of the Pon-
ies, Jesse Ray Morrison. At
S. M. U., thirteen seasons,
Morrison was the man who
directed the build up of
Pony prestige.
Morrison often was appro-
ached about a game with
Vanderbilt, where he’d star-
red as a player. He always
claimed it would be too
much to be pitted against his
old school, matching wits
with Dan McGugin, his own
college tutor.
Now Morrison has succeed-
ed McGugin, on the veter-
an's retirement. And Morri
son will be sending his Com
modore charges against the
school he saw grow almost
from birth to national prom-
inence.
Matty Bell, successor to
Morrison at S. M. U., will
have a queer feeling, too, as
he gets his 1936 Mustangs
ready for the October 17
game. It was Morrison who
brought him to S. M. U., as
assistant coach after Bell
left Texas A. & M. College,
from which post he rose to
rose to head coach and dir-
ected the Ponies to their
present acclaim as National
Champions on a perfect sea-
son record.

Mexico Makes Plans
To Greet Visitors
San Antonio, Dec. 25.-
Stirring activity on the other
side of the Rio Grande is go-
ing on now with Mexico
completing plans for hospit-
ality when Texas Centennial
visitors start pouring into
that country, according to
Thomas Sinclair Gore, presi-
dent of one of Mexico’s lead-
ing hotels.
Completion of the Pan-
American Highway was
given by Gore as one of the
reasons why Mexico is going
ahead with plans.
Gore has just completed a
two-months tour of the Unit-
ed States and indicates that
Texas and Mexico may ex-
pect a wealth of “company”
during the celebrations next
year.

do know that it contributes
largely to their commission.
Of course the liquor inter-
est is not going to advertise
the runious effects of drink-
ing intoxicants for those en-
gaged in the business know
if the public could be made
to realize the danger there
would be less of it drank and
consequently less of it sold.
We know that the object
of all whiskey advertise-
ments is to induce the people
to drink more of their pro
ducts and this makes more
money for themselves. They
do not care for your happi-
ness, your money is what
they want. We see some full
page advertisements have
the picture of a fine looking
old man with a bottle of liq-
uor on the table in front of
him and holding in his hand
a glass in which a drink of
the liquor has been poured.
We can’t keep from thinking
that this picture would be
more complete if the like-
ness of the devil stood by the
table reaching out his long
bony hands as if he would
take in his grasp all the vic-
tims of his side partner,

applicants must not exceed,
from any and all sources,
$360 yearly, if single; and
the combined incomes of
both spouses, from any and
all sources, must not exceed
$720 yearly, if applicant is
married,” Mr. Carpenter ex-
plained. “A sworn statement
of all income during the pre-
ceding two years must ac-
company the application.”
“All applications will be
handled through local agens
after the new law goes into
effect February 14,” he add-
ed.
In December, 1848, Texas
was annexed to the United
States, and when the South-
ern States seceded, Texas
joined the Confederacy. In
1870 Texas was readmitted
into the Union.

An advertisement of gooc
whiskey.
We see in the Colie Maga
zine, seven brands of liquor
advertised, among which
this brand G—W, defined as
Good Whiskey. The adc
does not tell us what this
particular brand of liquor is
good for, only claiming it to
be old, mild, smooth anc
easy on the throat as it goes
down.
We are wondering what
this brand of liquor is gooc
for; let’s see: Is it good for

ache, ear ache, sore eyes,
sore throat, bad colds, rheu

able doctors say no most
emphatically. Is this the
kind of liquor that the fath-
er drank and tried to beat his
21 year old daughter to
death, forcing her to defend
herself, resulting in t h e
death of the father? Is it
the kind the mother and son
drank and got drunk upon,
and the mother shot her son?
Is it the kind that the your.g
man drank when he lost con-
trol of his car and ran over
and killed a young lady who
was walking on the ride
walk in San Antonio?
We would like the best in
the world to know.
May not this liauor be the
kind that when drank will
create an appetite for intoxi-
cants, destroy health, enfee-
blemanhood and blight wo-
manhood, degrades, debau
ches and ruins the lives of
men and women?
May it not be the kind that
causes drunkenness, insanity
destroys the peace of fathers

Austin—“Many provisions
of the Texas Old Age Assist-
ance Law were taken direct-
ly from laws previously ex-
isting in other states or from
the Social Security Act,
which President Roosevelt
sponsored,” State Auditor
Orville S. Carpenter, ap
I>ointed pension chief, said
this week.
“Major provisions are the
following:
1. A qualified applicant
must be 65 years of age and
a citizen of the United
States.
2. He must have lived in
Texas five out of the last
nine years, and have lived in
the State continuously one
year preceding application
3. He must not at time of
receiving aid be an inmate of
a public or private institu
tion.
4. He must not have made
a voluntary transfer or as-
signment of property to qua-
5. He must not be a hab-
itual criminal or habitua
drunkard.
6. He or she is not eligible
if he or she has a husband or
wife able to furnish him or
her adequate support.
“The property restriction,”
Mr. Carpenter continued,”
as well as that of cash or se-
curity ownership, must be
clearly understood.”
“A qualified old-age pen-
sion applicant—

into consideration assessed
valuations for State and
county tax purposes less all

$7,600.
“Does not have or own
cash or marketable securi-
ties, the fair value of which
exceeds $500 if the applicant
is single, or if married,
$1,000,” Mr. Carpenter stat-
ed.
