PAGE SIX OIL INSPECTOR Bill IS PASSED BY LOWER BODY Measure a Blow at Brown's Ma chine, Reduces Number of Inspectors to Six ATLANTA, Aug. 19.—The impos sible has happened. By a vote of 123 to 57 the House of Representa tives, always heretofore referred to as the stronghold of the Depart ment of Agriculture, Tuesday pass ed a bill providing for the distilla tion test of gasoline in place of th? gravity test, and limiting the num ber of oil inspectors in the State to G. Tt has been the brunt of the fight pitched against the Agricul tural Department for at least three years. It was the basis of a sud den and heated fight the last night of the last session, and was won by supporters of the department. Whether the measure will get through the Senate or not is anoth-1 er question. Many of the House] tnen, who were behind the bill say it will, and certainly there is much indicative sentiment in the senate that leans in that direction. How ever, the action of the House is hound to have a powerfully strong moral effect, even if, in the end, the bill should not pass all the stages and become a law.

Eubank and working model of the first trolley car driven by him RICHMOND, Va„ Aug. 17. A way back in the good old days when the town marshal] used to carry in the sidewalks at 9p. m., the good citizens of Richmond awoke one morning to find that the world had moved again. Down Main street came a peculiar looking shanty on wheels. It ran on tracks, and overhead was a copper wire, to which a long pole rose from the roof of this shanty." America was getting its first look at a trolley car. Now this street car that jarred the southern chivalry that morning in 1888 has long since been gather ed to its fathers. But the dapper young man who stood on the front platform and proudly •twiddled the controls on that first trip is still going strong, and is still running a street car. The motorman was—and still is —Walter B. Eubank.

He has even made a model of it—a dinky little thing for all the world like the tooncrville trolley, seating space for a very few passengers and a mon strous trolley pole the size of a young derrick. This car had only four wheels, and on days when the young bloods of Richmond were feeling especial ly kittenish they would stand on the rear platform, jounce up and | down and lift the front end clear off the rails. Those were tough times for the skipper—or rather, the motorman. Eubank likes to run trolley cars, but he thinks their day is about done. The motor bus will eventually crowd them out, he believes. “I’d sort of like to have the honor or running the last electric car,” he says, “but I sort of hope I won’t. I have a lot of pride in it, even if I do feel that the motor bus is getting I'm better of my old standby.” ley, Talmadge, Trippe, Turner, Westbrook, Williams of Walton, Wood of Fulton.—s7. WALKER WANTS LAW REWRITTEN Writes Carlisle He Is In Favor of Constitutional Convention ATLANTA, Aug. 19.—Governor Clifford Walker late Tuesday after noon made public copies of a letter he has written to Senator Ira Car lisle, of the 7th district, support ing the senator’s measure providing for a constitutional convention early in 192 G. The governor pointed out that if tax reforms are not adopted at the present legislature, and if the state’s constitution is not revised to pro vide for the reforms, no relief from taxation evils can be secured for six years. It will be two years before the next legislature convenes, he point ed out; two years more before any reforms the 1927 assembly might pass could be ratified at the polls, and two years before any revenue could be derived from such reform measures. The governor stated in his letter that he believed a constitution con vention would cost less and be more satisfactory than an extra legisla tive session.

Amid the squalor of a tiny shack on the broad plains of the I’exas Panhandle, an old white-haired grandmother once t< Id two little orphan girls the childhood story oi l Cinderella. With poverty on all sides, the little girls, Essie Lee Barton, G. and Jessie Barton, 4, never dream ed that some day they would sud denly have health and all that it buys thrust upon them, almost in the fairylike fashion of Cinderella. But a wealthy uncle back in North Carolina is making the Cin derella story come true for them. He is Buck Duke, son of Wash ington Duke, who made millions in tobacco. Buck Duke is a brother of J. B. Duke, who reently gave | $40,000,000 to a North Carolina college, and is said to be as wealthy as his brother. Recently Buck said he intended to make all his relatives rich before his death. And he has just found that the two poor little orphan .girls out on the Texas plains are distant ly related to him by marriage. So he sent SIOOO to Grandma Simpson, who cares for the chil dren, to gather informration about them and to end their poverty. More money is promised later. Already Duke hgs sent 810,000 each to R. W. and James Duke, two second cousins, who have ranches near here. One grandmother of the orphans who died at Wellington several years ago, Mrs. Sally Barton was related to Washington Duke by marriage and used to help him pick tobacco op his North Carolina plantation before he amassed his huge fortune. When the great emigration to the west began, the Barton family and one branch of the Duke family re solved to seek their fortunes in Texas.

I But while the Duke family was making millions in North Carolina, their relatives out west were hav ing a long, hard struggle for exist ence. Misfortune seemed to pile on misfortune, and a few years ago the two little Barton girls were left orphans. Buck Duke has suggested that the girls be put in one of his orphan homes in North Carolina, but Grandma Simpson immediately wrote she wouldn't stand for that. “I’ll raise them here in poverty and give them a schooling myself before I’ll send them to a home,” she says. Grandma Simpson is not the “grandma” but they al ways call her that because she ha:- cared for them since babyhood. I ¥ FL Y-TOX kills flies, mosqui toes, roach- < es and other household insects.
