SS 1-iKTTV G&W, the unluckyyoung woman whose
poajtioo in the .iiindheitfh household caused her to
fcnake a trip nil the way across the Atluutic to testify at the
Bruno Hauptmann trial, has got back to England by this
time, and ii -in going to be a long time before she forgives
Edward J. Reilly, Hauptmann'a.lawyer.
: "I was hurt more by the ..^ispicion Reilly endeavored
to cast on me than by any other thing during the trial,"
.Miss Gov said when she reached England. "That is some-
thing I will never forget or forgive."
Now this little remark calls attention to one of the
querest angles of our judicial procedure—the seemingly
llniitless frKttortT which is given to an attorney to attack
a person's reputation without introducing a single shred of
evidence to wpport; his charges.-- s
• Miss Gow, for instance, still- enjoys the confidence of
hefformer employer. At-the time-of-the kidnaping, the New
Jersey authorities went over her record with a fine-tooth
comb and'found nothing wrong.
She was not under the slightest shadow of suspicion
on the part of those who were most interested in finding
someohe on whom the crime could be blamed.
Then she returned to America to testify at the trial—
returned of her own free will, incidentally, since there was
no way of making her come back.
And immediately the llauptman defense began to show-
er her with insinuations, veiled accusations, suggestive hints,
until it almost looked as if she, and not Hauptmann, were
the one on trail. 1
This sort of thing is conim*5}V.$ our courts. Perhaps
there is no wa£.«f completely ending it. A lawyer entrusted
AUSTIN, March 4--(tJP)—Jus-
tice in taxation for the average
man, the home owner, the farmer,
und the hurried business man, was
demanded by Gov. James V. Allred
today in his major message to the
legislature.
"In equalising the tax burdens
you and I are going to tread on
somebody's toe*. We are, however,
confronted with a patriotic duty of
necessity. The great masses of the
people have got to have tax relief,""
he told the houne and senate in
joint, session.
Governor Allied recommended
taxes on chain stores; oil, gas, sul-
phur, and other natural resources;
pipe lines; inheritances; and luxur-
ies.
He repeated his flaying opposi-
tion to the general sales tax, but
suggested legislators consider a
certain typo of state income tax if
other revenue measures fail.
Must Amend
Need of extensive reforms in the
ml valorem Ux and the franchise
tax were emphasized. The state con
stitution must be amended to bring

One Louisiana
Senator Battles
Dictator Huey
BATON ROUGE, March 2 (UP)
State Sen, Scott W. Heywood,
hiterlo considered a staunch fol-
lower of Sen. Huey P. Long, poli-
tical dictator of Louisiana—one of
many politicians who obey the
Kingfish without question—lias
corrected that impression.
In the state senate, where an
overwhelming majority owe their
political existence to Long and
jumps when ho cracks the whip,
Heywood arose last night to speak,
Long sat on the press bench and
Heywood looked directly at him.
"When I ran for the senate, 1
thought Long was 100 per cent for
the common people," Heywood be-
gan. "We have had four special
sessions of this legislature since
last fall. Why? To satisfy the
whims of one man who has con-
ceived the idea through a majority
of this legislature he will pas* laws
of his own making which are in-
tended to put out of office his po-
litical opponents and set up for
himself a dictatorship."
Heywood paused for breath.
Long's expression was of complete
amazement. Legislators were star-
tled.
"This man tells your governor to
shut up," Heywood shouted, "and
I have hea>'<l him curse the gover-
nor more than I ever heard a negro
cursed. He goes out over the state
with his sound trucks arid body-
guards blulfing the unsuspecting
voters."
Even before lie had finished,
Long's followers were on their feet
demanding the floor. Long himself
waved them aside. He approached
the microphone, smiled ironically
toward Heywood.
"The senator made a statement
at the close of his speech," Long
drawled, "lie said he had no poli-
tical aspirations. Well, I was go-
ing to tell you he wouldn't have
any more."
After the atmosphere had clear-
ed somewhat, the senate passed the
newest Long laws on third reading.

Novel Method of
Teaching Led by
Herbert Kindred
A novel method of teaching
young men to pilot airplanes is
planned by the National Flying
Schools of Dallas, in which Herbert
L. Kindred, nationally known flyer
is one of the leading instructors.
Mr. Kindred expects to visit his
mother, Mrs. T. A. Kendred, here
this week and interview applicants
for the flying school course.
The plan is to make tours on cer-
tain dates with a fleet of planes,
each piloted by an instructor. Stu-
dents would be met at each place
and given instruction in their own
vicinity. This saves sending the
student to a central place.
Mr, Kindred, first air mail pilot
in the south, brought the first
army plane to Mexia during the
war. He flew the first air mail out
of Texas, as well us the first pas-
senger night mail and express. He
has more than eleven thousand
hours in the air,
An instructor during the war in
flying .t Kelly field and also an
instructor of pursuit plane at
Issoudon, France, he is a pioneer
instructor of flying. He heads the
school of intsruction with govern-
ment licensed pilots as his assis-
tants.
By taking the school to the. stu-
dent the rates are materially low-
ered. It is expected a number of
Mexia persons will take advantage
of the opportunity to learn to fly.
ONE KILLED IN I
TORNADO THAT
WRECKS FORNEY
(By United Press)
On* person was killed and dam-
age amounting to thousands of dol-
lars resulted from the sudden blows
of a tornado last night in two small
North Texas communities.
Approaching from the southwest,
the st6rm struck first at Forney,
Kaufman county, killing a negro
baby and injuring several persons.
Mayor A. A. Hinton of Forney es-
timated the damage as in excess of
$100,000
In the Campbell community, nine
miles cast of Greenville and 60
miles' northwest of Forney, the
storm demolished several houses,
disrupted communication lines and
injured several persons.
The one fatality ot Forney was a
negro boy, child of John Hefiry
Florence, tenant farmer on the Roy
Gilkey farm, a mile and a half
south of t^wn.
Three persons injured at Forney
were Mrs. B. G. Edwards, bruised
and suffering from shock; Amos
Diets!, former deputy sheriff, sev-
ere cuts; and Ed Mack, negro, cut
on the arm. by shattered glass.
The most spectacular damage at
Forney was done to two largo
warehouses of tho East Texas Cot-
ton Oil company. The sheet-iron
buildings were demolished and the
flying sheets of iron cut telephone
circuits east of the town. Damage
from the rain and wind was esti-
mator at, several thousand dollars.
Mrs. F. E. Hudson, 30, suffered
severe back injuries when the
storm roared through the darkness
and wrecked a filling station in the
Campbell community near Green-
ville, where she had taken refuge..
Numerous houses were demolish-
ed, barns and garages wrecked and
Utility lines flattened at Campbell.
Many negro farmers were left
homeless.
Rescue workers searched the
wreckage in both communities to-
day to determine if other persons
were Injured. '*•
Residents of Forney said the Tor
nado cloud appeared to barely skiin
over the town and little damage
was done on the ground level. The
twister cut a swath a mile wide and
about four miles long there.

A Cold Treatment of Such
"Spread" You Can Relieve Your
Head Colds and Chest Colds,
Without Taking Medicine
■
This "cold season" will be a
different story in a great many
households.
They have tested the new vola-
tile rub—and ace convinced.
The word has spread so fast
about Pine Balm that druggists
have had to order and re-order to
supply the demand.
What It l
Pine Balm is a "rub" that is so
highly volatile, its pungent pine
aroma reaches the very bronchial
tubes. It starts its work in ten
seconds. It relieves a head eold in
a few minutes, and generally
loosens a chest eold overnight.
For a throat irritation, just
swallow a lump of this remarkable
preparation; sprays and gargles
cannot compare with this newer
treatment.
Dr. Caldwell Pine Balm is
bringing surprising results with
various types of colds. It is
particularly valuable in treating
children — whose stomachs are
easily upset by internal medicines.
Powerful as it is, you can use it on
any child—full-strength.
It Costs Only
25 Cents!
Get this new treatment, and be
prepared. It is only a quarter a
jar. Druggists who were all out
of Pine Balm following the first
announcement, have plenty now.
Get the name right—ask for Dr.
Caldwell Pine Balm in the "pine
cone" jar, and use according to
simple directions that come with it.
Pine Balm is a real discovery.
