Rep. Leonard Ttlloston of Austin county has a pro gram which he urged before the past two sessions. Communications sent to county Judges of Texas. on of which was received by Judge O. C. Dancy here, re veals he will again urge the same measure. Net the least of its merits is that it is simple and workable. Here is how they tell about it in his letter to the Judge and others interested in the cause cf more money for state highways: * “Cur program for a just registration fee bill and an Increase in the gasoline tax to four cents fa led in the special session just closing. This failure was due to the fight marie for a fifty per cent reduction in regis tration fees, which would deny the counties any in crease allotment now or hereafter, ar.d would tn some instances take away a part of the amount the counts are now getting. The failure of the gasoline tax was due to opposition both of gasoline distributors, and the opposition of these who insisted upon the extreme reduction in registration fees being pasred before any Increase was made in the gasoline tax. The natural result of these contentions was the inability to gai an agreement on how much the gasoline tax should be. and how much the reduction In registration foes should be and how thes* fees would be divided "My original program is the best that T think rao be arranged This is for a gasoline tax of four cents, all to go to the State Highway Deoartment. For the retention of registration fees on trucks and busses and all the commercial end of motor vehicles at the pres ent schedule, and all these to go to the State Highway Department. For a 20 per cent reduction on the fees collected from ranger cars or domestic cars, and all to be allowed to the counties up to a maximum of $200,000 00. This arrangement gave the state the ncccsary mini mum income for the Highway department budget: gave the counties an increase of something like one third over the present allotment: and reduced th« registration fees on pasenger cars one-fifth. This is a fair adjustment of all considerations. How Texans Voted on the Tariff Rep. Claude B. Hudspeth hails from on® of the great livestock producing districts of America. H*> voted for the Hawley republican tariff bill on final passage in the house. Rep Augustus McCloskey of Bexar county, speaking for the 14th congressional district, lined up with Hudspeth for the Hawley bill and voted for It on final passage Rep Mansfield had been called to Texas on account of illness. Rep. "Fritz Lanham was absent but paired against the bill. All the other mem bers of the delegation voted against the bill. Rep. Garner had asked repeal of the flexible tariff provision and in place of the tariff commission as now constituted, would have created a tariff fact finding commission responsible to congress alone. He lost. Democrats voted for the Gamer proposal and repub licans lined up against It. Now the fight has been transferred to the senate. Many republican congressmen expect the senate to reverse the house three cent rate on sugar. Garnpr lost his battle for duties on long staple cotton and oil He insists that the senate should place a duty on tong ataple. crude and jute. He opposed the provision giv ing a president the power to raise or lower tariff rates. He lost. His contention is that this Is a very ranger ous provision and is abrogating the powers vested in congress. His arguments against the provision is interesting: “There are many rates carried in this bill on manu factured products that are unconscionably too high: but that is where the republican partv cets its cam paign fund, or the major portion, from the rich man ufacturer of the north and east and. of course, they have a strangle hold upon the republican party." Garner ha? been a member of the house 26 years He wi:l have 28 to his credit in 1930 He participated in the making of four great tariff laws. Now svhat will happen to the house bill when 98 senators tackle ihe reconstruction job or rather the revision of the work of the house. There is a stumbling block A majority of the senators voted for the export de benture plan. They may atte.rh the plan as a rider to the house bill and then the making of copy will be vol uminous and the staid and dignified Congressional Record will be expanded to unwonted proportions. Merger of Texas Railways A test will ultimately be made by the department pf Justice as to whether the federal transportation act supercedes the Texas constitution and statutes in the regulation of railroads operating in the state. An assistant attorney general has gone to Washington to appear before the director of the interstate com • merer commision “to protect the merger of 14 Texas bus lines with the Missouri Pacific system.” He ap pears before the I:C. C. director at the request of the Texas railroad commission. In its last analysis a degree of the court of last resort may be necessary and the court of last resort is the supreme court of the United States. % * MR.

I wonder how I look when I think I ! look profound: I must ask some one sometime.» Mr. O'Neil: Yes. (Aside: He heard me the first time, the big sap.) Lawyer: Well. well, w-cll. (Aside: A few well wells like that don't mean anything but they help create an atmosphere. I wonder if he thinks I look profound enough. I find it harder to look profound now than I used to. I must be getting on.) Who is the plaintiff? Mr. O'Neil: She's a lady named Georges Lewvs (Aside: I think that's the name » Lawyer: George S Lewis?

June 3 —Youth and everythin? as sociated with it holds full sway in room No. 234 of the house of representatives office building on capltol hill. For here is located the ‘ baby congressman' cf the seventy-first session—Fred A. Hartley. Jr —and W. I Manley Sheppard, his secretary, two years younger than his boss. Representative Hartley is 26 years old. His secre tary is barely 24. Together they are looking, after the welfare of more than 290,000 people living in two of | the largest counties in New Jersey. YOUTH NO HANDICAP But his youth is no handicap to the “baby congress man.” Long ago he forgot that He quit school to marry when he was only 17. He 1 was appointed a member of the library commission 1 of his home town of Kearny when he was 19. At the age cf 20 he was made city commissioner. At the age ; 22 he was chairman of the republican county com- | mittee. A year later he was re-elected city commis- ; j sioner of Kearny, serving two terms as fire and police ■ i commissioner. And in November of last year, four months before he reached the age of 26. he was elected to congress. “And don't forget”, he told the writer, “I was put into every single one of those Jobs by less than 1,000 votes over my opponents. His choice as city commissioner was by a margin'of 200 votes. He was reelected by 400 He gained a berth on the republican county committee by only 13 votes. He was sent to congress with only 321 votes to spare, and then only after a recount. Hart’ey regards his contest for congress the greatest thrill he has ever experienced. A stalwart organiza tion republican, he was turned down cold by his partv leaders because of his youth. Not to be daunted, he entered the primary as an independent and won the nomination by 714 votes “How they did taunt me wuth my lack of age in that campaign." he said. “People constantly were tilling me that they agreed with my platform, but ■ they could not vote to send a ‘kid’ to congress. My manager at Bayonne got his jaw broken at one stormy , rally. Only a miracle saved my uncle from having his skull crushed with the butt of a gun. And there's no j way of telling how many automobile tires I bought ; due to the malice of my foes." To meet the opposition to his youth Hartley adopted as his campaign slogan: “It took a 26-year-old boy to carry the spirit of America to Paris. We ll have a 26-year-old boy to carry the spirit of the eighth eon- j gressional district to Washington. It worked. He won the nomination. Entering the genera! election, he based his campaign on national issues. The vote was tabulated and he was 549 shy. ! He demanded a recount and put up 312.000 Some 136.000 ballots were counted again and he had an of- j | fieial majority of 344. He got his certificate of election, hired an airplane and flew to Washington to file it. He is the father of three children, two boys and one girl. Hartley expects to be be seen rather than heard i congress during the next two years. He plans in troducing no legislation. His ambition is to so serve his constituents that they will return him for another term. Down, Down By Ripley 1 - —.. ■ ———— "'■ ..

I don’t know what to do.” Vildan read the note again, and looked to Celeste for advice. “Oh. madme" Celeste was im patient "How you cap.be so un**o mantic! Like a cabbage Mon dieu!” All Vivian's reserve broke. “Oh. well, who cares!” She pick ed up pen and paper to answer th» note from Barkow. "At least he Is a well-known man—and not a to tal stranger. That makes it differ ent.’’ Celeste smiled at these American women always making excuses for affaires de eoeur. So prosaic!

She was beginning to be of the same trend of thought. It ivasn t fair! She would net some thing cut of life. Other women Barkow telephoned shortly after H8**d. and they made an aonolnt- t ment to meet in the lounge at seven It would not be proper for Vivian, she thought, to see him in her* apartment with Kent away. Celeste was highly excited. Medame must wear her so pret tiest evening dress. And sh- must be like re oueen.” ' Oh. ro. Celeste." Vivian protest ed. ‘ I don t want to be conspicu ous " "Madame." the little maid was firm, “whs* you not take mv ad vire?

Celeste assured her. as shp waved her hair, patted per fume into it. and slipping a stun ning white sequin close fitting slip of a frock over her head. “Madame will not be at all conspicuous." It as the first time Vivian had ever worn an evening gown Ex cept when she tried her gowns in the shops and paraded in them In her apartment. She felt strange. But it gave her a beautifully dress ed up feeling. She knew she was perfectly groomed. And what a weapon that is! Oh. yep. Barkow should think she was just dressed for f nner. . hat would be excuse enough for looking so stunning He should think she was going to have dinner with her husband—and had just slipped dov*p a moment But when she saw Barkrw. stunning and immaculate in his evening clothes, waiting for her in the lounge. Vivian did not feel quite so sure of herself. She was suddenly panicky! Oh. was she going to get all tongue tied like sh*» had t;en all her life when sh-» met people! This was dreadful' She had forgotten entirely, feeling so secure in her lovely apartment a “Oh, gosh, I don’t know what to do.’* and her beautiful clothes, that never in her life had she talked with a handsome stranger. That ne.’cr before had a man paid her flattering attention. But Barkow held out his hand with such utter ease—so sure of himself—that Vivian sat down on a divan beside him at least outward ly controlled and showing no signs, of her nerves. Barkow’s eyes took her in with the greedy look of a connoisseur of precious art. Her white velvet eve ning wrap fell from one shoulder and he saw that her shouldeh were exquisitely molded. What was it about this r-tranne woman that attracted him so? He could have reached out there and taken her In his arms. But he kent the feeling out ef his voice. Vivian saw that his hair was a golden blond, his eyes a warm deep gray, and that he was even more handsomp than she had thought him In that fleeting glance she caught of him from the elevator. Not quite so tall. But perhans she was comnarlr.g him with Kent's six feet two. She found herself attracted to ward him as he was toward her. For a moment she stared back at his frank inspection—then flushed. He saw this and tried to cover her confuricn ‘ An artist.

Former Commissioner of Health In these days of highpowered existence we hear of all kinds of endurance tests. One man goes without food for days. A young woman stays in the air more than twenty-four hours. Another man proves he can eat a dozen pies. Bi cycle racing, automobiling. dancing, swimming—all have their enthusi asts. To enter any endurance race one must have good health. Perfect balance is necessary for successful flying, automobiling. bicycling, in fact for any of the sports. Loss of balance, dizziness, gid diness are all symptoms of some un derlying condition needing atten tion. All these are included in the general term • vertigo.'* for which there are many causes. There is a form of vertigo associ ated with stomach trouble. In dys pepsia. dizziness is rather a common symptom. It is like the form of vertigo coming from ear trouble, but is never accompanied by noises in the ear. In chronic stomach trouble there are frequently constipation, coated tongue, belching of gas. general miserable feeling, down-heartedness, dull headache and palpitation of the heart. Associated with these svmp tomes there may be frequent attacks of vertigo. It was observed by many physi cians that occasionally a patient would suffer from vertigo for a time following influenza This was due. in all probability, to a passing con gestion of the internal ear In hardening of the arteries, high blood prejjfure. or in congestion of the head from any cause, there may be occasional attacks of dizziness Likewise the symptom is found in some forms of heart disease. In nervous exhaustion it may be met. If there is any failure of team work in the eyes, muscular weak ness or eye strain, vertigo may result. In all obscure cases the eyes and ears must be examined From what I told vou about ver tigo. you wiM see that it ts merely a symntom. It is not a disease Un comfortable as it is. it mav not in dicate serious disease of any part of the body. But continued attacks of vertigo show that something is wrong. Either you are working too hard end need a rest, or the elimination of waste from your body is inter - S fered with, or your eyes or ears re ; auire attention The heart, kidnevs. I intestinal canal, and skin must be I considered. Don't worn* about the vertigo, j hut. s-ek to find its cause. When i that is removed, the dizziness will j disannear of its own accord.
