number of specialties moved sub

stock market while the general run
ol so-called leaders were content to
operate on a hand-to-mouth basis.
Speculative circles were encour

which marked most of the day’s

Loses in Trial
_
Indications are that the City of
Harlingen will pass a new fire-sale
advertising ordinance as the re
sult of adverse outcome of a case
heard on appeal here Wednesday
before Judge Bascom Cox in the
Cameron county court at law.
Joe Lon Haskins, manager of
Watson & Watson, was fined $50
when tried before a Jury in the
Harlingen city court on a charge
of failing to comply with the fire
sale advertising ordinance, and the
defendant appealed to the county
court at law.
Johnson & Newland, counsel for
Haskins, attacked the complaint on
grounds that it was faulty and also
attacked the constitutionally of
the ordinance. Judge Cox sustained
the defendant's motion to quash
the complaint and dismissed the
case.
Although he did not rule on con
stitutionality of the ordinance, the
judge indicated that, there was a
strong likelihood that it was un
constitutional
Under regulations of the Harlin
gen ordinance it is necessary to
pay a flat rate of $25 in order to
advertise a fire-sale and an addi

New Extract Causes Rats

Without Shortening Life
PHILADELPHIA. April 18.—0P>— |
Full verification of existence of aj
P'ecocity extract, one of the most
unbelievable discoveries of science,
was reported Thursday to the Amer

The extract comes from the
thymus glands of calves. It causes
young rats to grow up. physically
and mentally, in half normal time
without shortening their adult lives
which begin so much sooner.
The extract is ready to be tried
out to learn what human uses it
posseaes. There is no expectation,
said Leonard G. Rowntree, M. D.,
of Philadelphia, who reported it, of
the thymus extract doing to humans
the things predicted on the basis
of its action on rats.
These predictions include babies

Tuesday, going to the jury Tuesday

An expectation of real human
usefulness is based on the fact that
all children have thymus glands,
the same as young mammals. It
formerly was thought the thymus
gland dried up at the age of puber
ty.
More likely. Dr. Rowntree said,
the gland changes its state at that
age. Thereafter it may function in
some manner yet unobserved.
The thymus gland effects were
first reported a year ago as some
thing "almost beyond belief.” The
report was based on five genera
tions of rats injected daily with
the thymus extract. These genera
tions were the equivalent of 100
years in human terms.
Thursday’s reports verifies the
prevknft finding on another five
generations of rats.
This second set repeated every
thing. the young born heavier, get
ting teeth their first day. opening
their eyes the third day instead of
the 16th day. their fur grown, them
selves weaned and self-supporting
as rats in the third and fourth days
of their lives.
But no giants developed. The
voung rats simply matured in about
half-time. Their ‘control" cousins,
with no thymus extract, eventually
caught up to them in all respects.

What The
Legislature
_Is Doing
AUSTIN, April 18. <*>)—The first
of a series of bills to aid enforce
ment of existing tax laws and bal
ance the slate's budget was passed
to the senate Thursday by the
house after an amendment to in
crease the oil production tax was
rejected. The vote was 138 to 2.
The bill would plug loopholes m
the oil production tax law by mak
ing subsequent purchasing liable
for the tax and giving the state
comptroller additional men to en
force its provisions. It will be fol
lowed by bills to bolster collection
of beer, cigarette and other taxes.
Representative A. K. Daniel of
Crockett proposed the oil tax in
crease. His amendment was ruled
out of order and a motion to sus
pend the rules to permit its con
sideration was defeated, 74 to 57,
failing to obtain even a majority
vote.
“Oklahoma recently raised its
tax to five cent* per barrel and
Texas is sitting idly by and get
ting but two cents while this rich
and irreplaceable natural resource
is leaving the state." Daniel said.
"Texas ought to receive a fair tax
on its natural resources."
The bill was considered under
suspension of the rules in con
formity with a suggestion made
Wednesday by Walter P. Woodul,
lieutenant governor, acting as gov
ernor.
The house also passed by an
overwhelming vote the beer tax
correction law. It would abolish
the beer stamp and levy the tax
on the first sale. Manufacturers
anl wholesalers would be bonded.
Sponsors said the stamp tax was
universally abused and that the
state was losing thousands of dol
lars in revenue annually. Numer
ous instances have been found
where stamps were re-used and
some w’here beer was sold without
stamps. It as estimated the change
would yield approximately $500,
000 additional yearly.
The house refused to decrease
the wholesalers’ license tax from
$100 to $50 and the retailers’ license
from $50 to $25 Similar fate met
attempts to increase the per bar
rel tax from $1.50 to $2 and $1.75.
Bills to clarify the motor fuel
and cigarette tax laws were de
layed temporarily to permit
amendments.
me senaie approved submission,
37 to 1. of a proposed constitution
al amendment to authorize legisla
tion for temporary committal of
mentally sick to state eleemosy
nary institutions for not more than
90 days without necessity of the
patient being adjudged insane by a
Jury.
The senate also adopted house
resolutions to designate March 4
as "Roosevelt” day and to peti
tion congress to equalize the pro
cessing tax and promulgate tariff
regulations to protect American
cotton from foreign competition.
Senators agreed to start consid
eration Tuesday of a revised house
bill to halt wastage of natural gas
in the Panhandle field and to
equalize right* for producers and
owners.
The bill u rewritten by Senator
Clint Small of Amarillo held ap
proval of the senate state affairs
committee. ,
J. M. (Tex) Moore of Henrietta
was designed ‘cowboy artiet of
Texas" by senate adoption of a
house resolution. Paintings oi the
70-year-old cowboy and former
Texas Ranger have "perpetuated
and glorified the achievements of
the western cowhand.” the resolu
tion stated, to such an extent “ha
could be called the dean of all
western landscape artists."
The senate also adopted a house
resolution urging congress to
amend the Interstate commerce act
to prohibit movement of clfarersfc
in Interstate commerce into an**
state unless the cigareta bore tax
revenue sumps of the sUte. and to
enact a law to prohibit counterfeit
ing of cigaret tax stamps.
Illegal sale and Interstate traf
fic in non-stamped eigarets. the
resolution stated, resulted in an
annual loss of more than S3.000,
000 to Texas.
