NO ROAD
DEBT IN TEXAS
Wisdom of Texa’s highway policy is proved once more by
a report of the American Petroleum Industries Committee
that, nearly one-fourth of the States have floated such a
larger volume of highway bonds that payment of interest
and amortization charges absorb an important part of cur-
rent automotive tax revenue, thus handicapping roari-
buildiBg activities. In one State the road debt is equivalent
to a> mortgage of $645 on every motor vehicle registered in
the fftate. In view of the fact that the average value of au-
tomqltties operating on the highways is $212, the highway
debtTof that State imposes, in effect, a mortgage of three
times the vehicle’s face value.
Texas is one of only sixteen States that have no road
debt. For the thirty-two States with road debts the average
debt per vehicle is $69.18. In other words, every automobile
in these thirty-two States is laboring under a highway debt
nearly one-third the value of the average vehicle. But Tex-
as is among the fortunate States able to devote their entire
current highway revenue to road improvement.
Obviously, the relation of road debts to current reven-
ues has an important bearing upon the progress of a State
in carrying out its road program, since roads must be main-
tained after they are built and since programs of highway
improvement cannot be static. And it follows that if debt
service reduces too greatly the margin available for main-
tenance, administration, and needed expansion, the best in-
terests of the State and its motorists are not served by
such^financing policies.
Texas’s highway fund is in excellent condition. And it
should be kept that way. Incidentally, the debt-free high-
way department should be kept in mind in considering
the State’s finances. Texas has no highway debt to be add-
ed to the deficit in its general revenue fund.—The Texas
Weekly. *

the converse may be said to be
true—poor vis-
ion, at least for
reading, goes

normal eyes.
The child In

to read a chart

the 20-20 line,
which is the ac-
cepted standard
for normal vis-

his eyes to
Dr. Clendenlng achieve this
normal vision.
Sooner or later with the continual
strain of achieving normal vision
in school, he will begin to have
symptoms—of headaches, or nerv-
ousness, or inattention.
The three optical faults which
Induce eyestrain are far-sighted-
ness, near-sightedness and astig-
matism.
Far-sightedness does not mean
good vision in the distance. The
eyes have to strain even when
looking at a distance. Normal eyes
focus distant objects with complete
relaxation. Only when doing close
work do they have to focus; but
focusing in a normal eye is not the
same as strain.
In far-sighted eyes the image
falls too far back even when the
eyes are looking at a distance, and
the retina does not receive a clear-
cut image until the focusing
muscle starts working and brings
the image upon the retina. That
means the focusing muscle never
gets a rest.

aged eight who at home was dL

school he was indifferent to b

called him lazy. No one for #

the cause of the trouble, becaito
he could always read the smallto
line on the test chart, until finap
one doctor suggested a “thorough

One of the best text booksoi

hyperapia (far-sightedness) oc#r-

“LEND A HAND”
HELP PREVENT FIRE
This year Fire Prevention Week will be observed from
October 3 to 9. The slogan fohthe week, featured in posters
and news releases issued by the National Board of Fire Un-
derwriters, is “Lend a Hand.”
This slogan is particularly apt. For if fire is to be pre-
vented and controlled—and the hundreds of millions of
dollars! and thousands of lives fire destroys each year, are to
be saved—all of us must lend a hand. Fire is largely an in-
dividual problem—each one of us, with the exercise of a lit-
tle effort and care, can easily eliminate the common haz-
ards off our property.
File Prevention Week is about a month away—but no
one need wait for it. It is a simple matter to put on an in-
dividualized Are prevention period of your own, startng to-
day. How long has it been since you cleaned out basement
and attic—old newspapers, furniture, clothing and other
odds afcd ends that are prolific sources of fire? In a few
months maximum demands will be made upon your heating
plant-*before then, have it inspected by an expert, and if
necessary, repair and replace parts. Remember that ama-
teur electrical repairs may be the cause of turning your
home into a heap of ash and wreckage, unless properly in-
stalled- and Inspected.

volved,

G. O. P. TACTICS?
1 take the Republicans’ compar-
ative silence to be a tacitly agreed
on policy, on the part of the G. O.
P.’s best minds.
It appears to be their theory
that the Democratic factions will
chew one another up most effec-
tively with no Republicans trying
to break in and do a share of the
chewing. At the last minute 1 as-
sume that they will take the stump
with the argument:
“All the ugly things that might
be said about the Democrats we
Republicans haven’t said. It was
not necessary. The Democrats
were saying them, quite truthfully,
about each other.”

“WE INDORSE BOTH—»
Then they’ll quote the anti-New
Deal Democrats against the New
Dealers and the New Dealers
against the “antis”, adding:
“We indorse both sets of utter-
ances.”
Moral: ,
“Vote for us." ‘ '*$£

G. O. P. HOPES FOR TRIP
They are simply dying to have
President Roosevelt make a tour

behalf.
If he does so they reckon that
It will have the appearance of a
New Deal campaign of reprisals
against Democratic anti-New Deal
candidates. Even if the president
doesn’t definitely declare against
them, it will look that way.
The Republicans recall that
President Wilson made such an at-
tempt in the midst of his second
term, with the result that be got
a Republican congress.
Perhaps it will not work so this
time, but the Republicans are hope-
ful.
It is a new line of strategy. It
remains to be seen how w ell It* will
work. The Republicans have not
much choice, however. If this will

CHAPTER 42
LARRY HOLK said it was like
winning a world’s championship,
like being the author of the best
seller, like being the mother of
quintuplets! To be commissioned
to costume the play of the season
in New York for the most widely-
heralded actress was an accom-
plishment
And Mari decided that her
I clothes would be talked about
She left the villa, still filled
! with guests, and went directly to
Paris with Carla. She barri-
| caded herself in her home and had
j fabrics sent to her there. And
I then for nearly seven days she
! sketched, discarded her sketches
and made new ones. She read
! Carla’s play, demanded that Carla
do scene after scene for her until
she herself became the woman in
the play. Until she felt in her
very deepest heart, every shading
! of emotion that Carla was to por-
tray.
I And when her spirit was per-
' meated with it, she began to make
| the sketches that she wanted, the
j costumes that were a part of the
mood. Therein lay Mari Barat’s
art. She was no mere dress de-
signer then. Her lines sprung
from an inspiration that was deep-
er than the mind alone.
There was a gown of misty
blue-black with a sweep of ma-
genta. There was rich brocade
and regal velvet There was ten-
j derness in the daffodil yellow, and
passion in the d5ep purple.
And all the while that Marl
labored for perfection, she was
j selfless. But when the gowns
were finished, she knew that she
j had sewn some of her heart in
i them. For now Tony Castle would
i see them; would know that “the
untried girl” had produced a work
of art
Carla fcad said generously that
her costumes were as great as her
role, that they’d demand more ap-
plause than her acting.
That wasn’t true of course, but
that her costumes were a sensa-
tion was true.
j* Again there were the cables
from America. Cables of con-
. gratulation, cables containing
offers from other actresses, other
| producers and four contracts
offered from Hollywood. There
were notes from unknown ad-
mirers. And treasured most, a
hesitant, shy letter from a girl in
New York named Louise O’Brien.
That letter Mari read over and
over again. At first it had puz-
zled her. She knew no one named
O'Brien. And, at last, when she
realized it had come from the
model who had been her i^iend at
Castle’s shop, she treasured it
Surely If Louise had seen and
heard of her clothes and had writ-
ten to her, Tony would do no less.
Tony could not disregard her now!
He must, if only out of profes-
sional courtesy, write her a con-
gratulatory note.
Weeks, months passed after the
opening in New York. There was
never any word from Tony.
Mari ceased to run through her
mail, separating that from Amer-
ica and then, slowly and with high
hopes, set it aside, letter by let-
ter. With fingers that trembled
she opened those envelopes that
gave no clue to the writer.
Art last she knew It would not
come. She settled back into the
calm that was neither happy nor
unhappy.
She had her work. And that
year, she had labor troubles.
Hesitant because she was not a
Parisian, she deputized her repre-
sentatives to draw up a code that
was to be accepted and right the
difficulties. That move waa to
make her position more secure
and later—
In the meantime, like so many

eled. She took a North Cape
cruise. She went to St. Moritx for
the winter sports; to England for
the races and to renew her first
friendship with Ellen Verlaine.
She went to Scotland to shoot
grouse, and to Salzburg to the
opera festival
She refused a proposal of mar-
riage from an English lord with
the same grace that she refused
the Italian composer. She told
the young French flyer whose
plane she christened that, of
course, she believed he was mak-
ing the flight for her alone, but
refused the diamond bracelet he
wanted to give her.
She was hostess at a ball given
by an Indian Maharaja *pd ac-
cepted the priceless, crested cig-
ar et box he offered her. She ac-
cepted, without ever thinking of
them, the constant attentions of
Mark Sutherland who was a quiet-
er, less mature person than she
had thought him when she first
knew him.
She moved in the smartest of
continental society, wore clothes
that were the envy of every wom-
an who saw her, and became more
beautiful and brittle with the
passing of time.
She went to Cairo with Mark
and Ellin. Long since, she had
lost her bright feeling of antici-
pation when she embarked upon a
journey. But she was touched
and inspired by the beauty of the
Orient.
Every scene, so different from
the accustomed panorama, in-
spired a color combination, a
motif with which you are since
familiar.
Going by boat to Alexandria,
from her deck chair she saw a
dusky maiden waving a scarf from
beneath a palm tree on an island
in the Azores. Hastily her
sketch book came out. She would
print a fabric in brown and red
and orange. She must experiment
with dyes, get a combination to
give white the strange cool green-
ish tinge of pineapple. You re-
member “pineapple white”?
When she heard that there were
yet?- 4
seals and rare birds—seals is the
tropics!—at Madeira, she resotwM
to make amusing buttons oi
black wood, shaped like

waters that Antony and Cleopatto
