Texas Baptists to raise funds for church education
The Texas Baptists plan to raise 139000 dollars for distribution among church educational institutions. A Japanese promoter will establish a silk factory at Beaumont, importing machinery from Japan. An attorney general ruling says the proposed insurance bureau would violate anti trust law. Bremond says it cannot handle the incoming trade due to volume. Recent weather slowed wrapping duties, giving some time to catch up.

The piece urges broader graft hunting to cover smaller and larger offenses and predicts moral education will grow from the crusade.
