PINTO STILL KING IN TEXAS CORNERS Sections Use Ponies for Fast Transportation. Dallas, Texas.--Railroad develop ment in Texas has kept step in re «ent years with the state’s march of progress in an agricultural and min eral way, yet so vast has been n last frontier of southwestern border coun ties that eight still await the steel rails that will bring to the region a fast and uninterrupted transportation it thias never known. The group where the automobile and pinto pony are still the only means of conveyance embrace an area fifteen times a 8 large as Rhode Island, but the population in this. undeveloped section is only one-seventh of that of Providence, So great are distances from some of the cattle ranches that it is neces sary to drive stock more than eighty miles to a railroad for shipment to packing houses or the feed lots of the corn belt, Although much of the region still is largely in a pastoral state, due to the scarcity of rainfall and ownership of land in tracts too large for develop ment, it is the center of the country's best wool and mohair area and the breeding ground for thousands of <attie each year. Olil resources have heen developed In Crane county only, tut lund prices and bank deposits have risen rapidly since the World wiar, Live stock values in Crockett coun ty exceed those of any other county in Texas, and Edward county, one of the group, leads the country in the number of goats raised annually. Transportation companies have watched with interest this domain and plans have been discussed for an ex tension that will connect at least four <ounties—Mason, Kimble, Sutton and Crockett—with the outside world, A road also has been proposed for Ed wards county, but for several years Glassock, Crane and Bandera prob ably will not witness what would be the novel sight of a locomotive rum bling across the region. Electricity Now Runs World’s Oldest Clock Rouen, France,—The world's oldest <loek, built in 1389, today ticks by electricity, Not only does electricity run the elock, but it also rings Rouen's his toric curfew, “Cache Ribaud,” which was Instituted by William the Con queror and which for nearly eight cen. turies has sounded at nine o'clock <ach night the warning to all to re turn to their homes and put out their Nights, For even the Rouen clock could not wperate forever on its old machinery. “The bulky wheels and weights ran tha <clock for more than 500 years before they recently collapsed under the strain and appealed for help. So an expert in electrical clocks was called In. He tore out the antiquated works and substituted a small, black box, This box now not only operates the clock, but also rings the curfew. The clock has only one hand—never has had anotker. But the great cop per dial bears minute graduations and the machinery causes the chimes to strike every 15 minutes, as well as on the hour, Attributes Long Life to Horizontal Position Vienna.—A certain Dr, Jullus Tich wehr who recently died here at the age of one hundred nine, often de «clared that the secret of his longevity wonsisted in taking a horizontal po sition as often as possible during the day, and naturally, every night, Whenever it was possible through out the day, he would place his head in the direction of the North pole and the remainder of his body parallel to the meridian line, The doctor affirmed that this posi tion coresponded to the direction of the magnetic current running through the surface of the earth and thus per mitted a kind of magnetism of the fron mass contalned In the body, Connecticut Churches Tax Exempt 200 Years Harttord, Conn~The system of Treeing religious bodles from taxation has rounded out two centuries in Con wecticut and is beginning a third, Church of England churches in the Connecticnt colony were granted ex. emption for taxation in 1727, A few years fater the Baptists and Quakers also were exempted, it Is now 220 years since provision was made for dissenters from the es tablished church, The general court dn 1708 granted permission for the Presbyterian system of church gov. ernment to be used by churches that dissented from the Church of Eng dand.

New York.—A chain of aviation schools, with fields and instructors in strategically located cities in all parts of the country, is one of the major developments in American aerlal progress to be expected in 1929 according to Amelia Earhart, first woman to fly the Atlantic, and now aviation editor of Cosmopolitan, The schools, which will offer com plete courses in flying to sportsmen and women as well as those training for commercial flying, will be spon sored by one of the principal com panies now operating commercial air lines, she says. Tuition Has Dropped. The price of learning to handle a plane already has dropped to an av erage of $250 in the established fly ing schools, as a result of the in creased interest in flying among peo ple in all walks of life and the de velopment of a large body of com petent instructors within the past two years, Miss Earhart finds, sur veying the rapid changes in aviation in the current issue of the magazine. At the end of the World war no air training could be obtained for less than SI,OOO, but recently the fee has twice been cut in half. Today the cost 18 hardly more than the fee of a first-class dancing instructor, since the $250 covers 10 to 12 hours of actual flying, spread over 20 to 25 lessons. Urges U. 8. Inspection. Miss Earhart, however, warns pros pective amateur flyers against the “harnstorming” flying instructor and the poorly equipped and inefliciently operated school. “There are excellent flying schools and excellent private instructors in the country, but it still is difficult to distinguish the good from the bad,” says her Cosmopolitan article. “It is the opinion of many flyers that the Department of Commerce should make a classification similar to that of the American Medical association, which gives its approval after inspection to hospitals which maintain certain standards, Given time, flying schools will acquire reputations, but it might be easier for students if there were a published rating now. One distin guishing mark, however, is already available, You can be sure the planes used are licensed by the Department of Commerce. And be sure that they are inspected frequently, “The student also should have a physical examination, paying specia! attention to the eyesight, by a De partment of Commerce physician.” Double-Time Tractors Add to Farm Profits Washington. —By working their tractors night and day during the “peak"” seasons thousands of farmers are getting double the value out of their machinery and, economists say, leading toward the restoration of profits in agriculture. The idea developed on the Pacifie coast, where 23-hour days for one tractor and two operators have been common for years. This year agrl cultural engineers have seen the prac tice spread to the grain belts of the Middle West, where both the seeding and harvesting seasons have been speeded. Under the glare of convenient spot lights tractors roar through the night, bringing their work year up from 2000 to 65,000 hours. The average American tractor work year of 400 hours has been multiplied so fre quently that it no longer is remark able, In the Imperial valley of California, where cantaloupes and head lettuce are grown so efficiently, the big track laying tractors run for months on ca pacity hour schedules in spite of 120- degree temperatures, clouds of dust and desert winds. Chile Bars Girls Sitting Next to Bus Drivers Iquique, Chile.~To curb one-armed driving, authorities here prohibit any woman passenger In lquique’'s motor buses from riding next to the driver. Seats are arranged so that passengers sit with the chauffeur, but any wom an taking the place next to him must move before the bus starts or the driver will be fined, The official ex planation was that girls “distracted the operators’ attention" Deity in Knickers Resented at Theater Frankfurt-Am-Main, Germany. «Publie objection to represen. tation of the Deity on the stage took a drastic form at the Mu nicipal theater recently when » production f Walter Hasenclev: er's comedy, “Marlages Are Made In Heaven," provoked » bombardment of vilesmelling bombs and tear-gas grenades, The company finished the play to an empty house. Police ejected several disturbers, This caused freeforall fighting In the street outside, The play, In which the Deity was represented as wearing golf clothes and knlckerbockers, had previously caused a scandal in Berlin, Hamburg and other Ger man clties PREHISTORIC MEN CREMATED DEAD Scientists Unearth Bone Ashes in New Mexico. Minneapolis, Minn,—Evidence that prehistoric dwellers on the North American continent were the first of mankind to cremate the dead has been unearthed by an expedition of tte Minneapolis Institute of Arts, The evidence is based chiefly upon a crumbly material found in the sands of the Mimbres valley in New Mexico, thought to have been pulverized corn, which an analysis showed was bone ash, The culture of the Mimbres valley is belleved to have flourished 2,000 years ago, Objects and materials found cer tainly are the first evidence of crema tion in that valley, and possibly any where, says Dr, Albert E. Jenks, lead er of the expedition. Doetor Jenks believes Mimbres culture ceased to exist about 600 or 700 A. D. Near Hurley, N. M., the searchers unearthed a village of 150 rooms, or huts, Some yielded sitting, or full length skeletons with bowls over their heads. But in one was found a jar of an unrecognized material. “We tasted it,” sald Doctor Jenks. “One member of the party declared it was pulverized blue corn, common in that vicinity.,” Laboratory tests re vealed it to be bone ash, Another find deemed important was a copper bell, use of which previously had not been known, A bracelet of 13 shells was found on the arm of the skeleton of a female, There were fireplaces and wall buses of adobe and stone. Some Luts were constructed of wood. The culture, according to anthro pologists, disappeared when Mimbres villages were destroyed, althougk how they were destroyed has not been learned. So far as is known the cul ture never took root elsewhere. Gusher Brings Fortune to Motherless Children Sunnydale, Kan.—Oil, renowned sot its gifts of sudden wealth, is spout ing in a new Klondike near this south ern Kansas village, bringing riches to willard Goodrich, hard-working farm er, and his two, motherless children. The discovery well in the new pro ducing territory is on the Goodrich farm. With a daily output of 7,000 barrels, it is the biggest gusher Kan. sas has seen in ten years. It “came in” without warning, drenching thé surrounding fields in oil, A pool of “black gold” four to five feet deep and covering an acre o ground was formed as nelghbofln: farmers with teams hurriedly cons structed ditches and dirt dams. : The 80-acre farm on which the wel! is located was left to the family by the mother when she died, 11 year‘ ago. Goodrich has an eighteen-years old daughter, Arlene, and a fifteens year-old son, Dale, | T ———— vy America Leads World in Making Timepieces New York.—Watches and clocks produced in the United States thig year will have a value in excess $80,000,000, almost equal to the bined output of Switzerland and many, the closest competitors. Production of timepieces in th country, jewelers say, has more tha doubled in the last ten years. After meeting its own domestic demand, the United States last year exported watches and clocks to the value of 4 per cent of the total output, an in crease of G per cent over the previous year, Chaucer Manuscript Brings $1,350 at Sale London.—A treatise on the Astro labé by Chaucer, offered at a three day sale of old books and manu scripts, held at Sotheby's recently, at tracted wide attention from collectors, This rare manuscript of Chaucer's only scientific work formed part of the library of Sir Hercules Read and was sold for $1.350, The Astrolabe was an Instrument used by ancient astrologers and scien tists, by the former for showing the position of the stars. She Kissed LaFayette; ' Dies in France, Aged 1 Melun, France.~Mme, Victoria Vil pelle, often termed “the last link wi LaFayette,” dled recently, aged one hundred and five. As a schoolgirl she gave a bouquet to LaFayette, and was kissed by him as he marched with his soldiers to Parls when the Orleans dynasty was restored In 1830, By a coineldence her death occurred on the lplvomry of George Washington's death, Team Work Columbla, Miss.~An unusual ro mance collapsed here recently when two brothers, married to two sisters, were granted divorces on grounds of infidelity on the same date by the same Judge. At the time the marital bonds were severed it was learned that the two couples were wed on the same day, at the same place, and by the same person and also that the diverce petitions were filed on the same day In the same court. That's Something New York —Mrs. Annle B Gray, secretary of the Woman's Peace so elety, which seeks to abolish war, s founding an auti-uolse organization, Cpr@;flu%% B e il Areas of Industry on City’s Outskirts The larger industries are not afraid to go farther away on the outskirts of the city than was considered desir able In the past, and there is a ten dency among the smaller industries which are looking to the future to do likewise, according to H. Findley French, director of the industrial bu reau of Baltimore. This means that it is now neces sary for the man who is specializing in finding the proper location for in dustrial plants to reconsider constant ly various tracts of land that have been passed over in the previous gen eral industrial development of the city because they have lacked vari ous facilities or because of the char acter of the ground itself, In looking ahead ten years to the probable industrial development of the city, as the Industrial realtor must do, conditions which brought about the rejection of certain areas for industrial purposes are found to have now been offset by other fac tors, Mr. French pointed out, and tracts which have been passed over can now be brought into use and will be found to hold exceptional opportu nitles for profitable development. For industrial buildings in good condition, not overspecialized in their plans, there is always some market provided tkey are situated in a grow ing community. In the sale or rental of industrial buildings, 95 or more per cent of the prospects in any town will come from the town itself, Home Builder Should Look to the Future It is highly important that the home builder ascertain that the section in which he is contemplating construc tion will continue as a home section 80 that he may not only put his prop erty to the highest and best use as a residential site but count on it per sisting in this use for many years to come. He should, of course, inquire whether the district is protected by zoning laws or building ordinances that bar the construction of commer cial buildings, but he should remem ber that zoning laws can be and are amended if it can be shown that com merce or business is making justifi able demands on a district. The home builder, therefore, should seek competent advice as to the ‘trend of the land in the sections ad jacent to his proposed home, for al though no one can be a magician in these matters, the' changing use of districts, with the possible change of zoning laws, can be foretold with reg: sonable accuracy. Developer Important Real estate is a business of many complications and very close speciali zation. Workers concerned with real estate activities divide themselves in to four major groups: Developers, who improve acreage and sell it in home sites; operators, who build homes for sale; brokers, whose field Is the resale of properties, and agents, who manage renting properties. ; The real-estate developer is the man or the organization which takes over raw acreage, or farm land, for devel opment and allotment purposes, lays it out, improves It, euts it up, and markets it as home sites, After thLe ploneer, who blazes the trail, pulls the stumps and redeems the land from the wilds of nature, the developer lays the foundation for all subsequent real estate activities. Considerations of Color $ There is a leaning today towards gayer and more bizarre exterior color schemes. Before adopting any of them' for your house, take this hint from nature, One of her larger children, the elephant, has a sober, gray tonal ity, while the tiny birds and insects are usually vividly colored. This thought is useful when selecting ex terlor color schemes, especially .now adays when such gorgeous and bril liant colors are avallable in paints and stalns. A small amount of bright col or will usually be more effeetive than a large expanse, while n&utnl; con servative tones are Ineffectual, or dinarily, if used as decorative touches. Color Cement Driveway . By coloring the cement of which the driveway is made, using reds grays, and perhaps other restful colors that harmonize with green of grass and color of house, this utility is made more attractive, Coloring need not ndd greatly to cost, for with perma nent mineral pigments a little color ing material goes a long way. Tree Avenues Planted A half mile of trees has been plant. eod on each side of the road along the Stockton-Sacramento highway by the Soroptimist club, the American Tree ussoclation s Informed. This plan for bheautifying the roads of the country is being pushed In many sections of the United States. Painted Trees of Value Trees, mainly at corners and cross roads, along the Roate Nationale in France, are being painted white up to the height of about six feet. This plan is to reduce the number of mo tor accidents due » darkened roads. .
