A heavy drinker in prohibition
days was warned by a friend that, if
he persisted in drinking bad booze
he was liable to go blind, but he re-
plied, “Oh, well, I’ve seen every-
thing, anyhow.”

There are various explanations as
to why the creator of Huckleberry
Finn and Tom Sawyer adopted the
pen name of Mark Twain but that
was a familiar term in gauging the
depth of a steamboat’s course and
famous author was a Mississippi
River pilot. His actual name, of
course, was Samuel L. Clemens.
It is related that a book agent rang
his door bell one day and said, “Mr.
Clemens, I would like to sell you the
complete works of Mark Twain.”
Without a word, the author led the
visitor into his library, pointed to
the shelves containing all the edi-
tions of Twain’s works, then opened
the first volume of a set and pointed
to a picture of himself and to the
word^ sunder the picture—“Mark
Twain (Samuel L. Clemens).”
History does not record what, if
anything, the book agent said.

May 28 marks the 21st birthday of
the Santa Rita well on the Univer-
sity of Texas lands. As a result of
that well in the wilderness, the Uni-
versity has received $43,000,000 in
oil revenue and the shacks have
long since disappeared from the
campus, replaced by the tower and
other magnificent buildings thus
transforming that institution into the
realization of the dream of .the
founders of Texas, “ a university of
the first class.” Tens of thousands of
students already have benefitted, as
will countless others through all suc-
ceeding generations.
West Texas was considered a
“graveyard” for oil hopes. Then the
Santa Rita well blew in, not only
producing miraculous benefits for
the University but saving a railroad,
opening up a vast region to oil de-
velopment, building thriving towns
and paying millions of dollars in tax-
es.
This is one more of the vast con-
tributions that the Texas oil indust-
try, under a system of free enter-
prise ,has made to the welfare of our
State.

“LEAVE THE CHILD AT HOME?”
LAURA GRAY
An irate hostess, in a letter to a
magazine, complained that her tea
party had been ruined by the bad be-
havior of a spoiled child brought by
one of her guests. She asked for ad-
vice as to how to prevent this from
happening again. The answer was di-
rected to the mother of the child,
and given in no uncertain words,
“LEAVE THE CHILD AT HOME ”
This is so simple, so obvious it rais-
es another question. Why didn’t the
mother leave the child at home? We
who are mothers know only too well.
For a number of us, motherhood
is a twenty-four hours a day job,
seven lays a week, year in and year
out, with no holidays or half days
off, until the last baby is able to look
after himself. Faithfully we work,
living, doing loving, crushing and
yearning for recreation for ourselves.
Then one day most of us find the
birds have outgrown the nest, and
we are alone, without work and
quite out of touch with the world.
Oddly enough, these devoted slaves
to motherhood do not make the best
mothers.
A few—and only a few—take the
advice in the magazine and leave the
child at home even when no suffi-
I cient provision has been made to
prevent him from straying out onto
the dangerous street where, besides
being liable to physical harm, he
may pick up ugly thoughts and ideas
that will lead to wrong actions later.
Such mothers are very few. For the
average woman, when her baby is
laid in her arms, self is blotted out by
love. Something deep within swears
utter devotion to the task of caring
for the little life entrusted to her.
There is no love so selfless as mother
love.
Sometimes there are kind aunts or
grandmothers with whom to leave
the baby. Some mothers can afford
to pay suitable help to care for the
youngsters. But for the rest is there
any other way?
One mother whom I know keeps
one or more appropriate toys that
are new to her four-year-old daugh-
Will Dudley never liked his
wife's pet parrot. Claimed the
parrot called him “Stinky”-and
ate his pipe tobacco. And the
Missus said it served Will right
,.. she’d told him not to smoke
his pipe indoors.
To make her point, the Missus
grabs Will’s pipe and throws it
out the window. So Will grabs
the parrot and throws him out
too. Looks like unpleasantness
— till in comes the parrot with
Will's corn cob in his month.
(And whistling “Home Sweet
Home,” Will claims.)
ter. She has among her friends quite
a few who welcome the little girl at
tea parties. As soon as the interest
in saying "How do you do” to the
hostess and presenting her with
flowers or fruit from the garden is
over, Mona sits quietly by her moth-
er and plays with the toys she has
brought. At one house the child is
allowed to open the front door to the
other guests and later to help pass
the cakes. If she at length grows
restless and shows signs of becoming
an annoyance, Mona’s mother slips
Well, Will and his wife both
bust out laughing .. . and made
peace over a friendly glass of
beer, allowing how it’s pretty
silly getting mad at one an-
other’s differences.
From where I sit, that’s a
mighty happy ending. If all of
us would live and let live in a
spirit of tolerance - whether It's
tolerance for a parrot or a pipo
—we’d be a whole lot happier
and better off.

A MAN O' WAR
HE wears no military uniform.
He carries no gun. But this elec-
tric lineman is a man of war. As
guardian of the power lines, he
keeps vitally needed electricity
speeding to military establish-
ments, war industries,
homes and businesses.
This CPL lineman, as
well as his fellow service-
men, power plant workers
and others are all power
soldiers. With 237 of their
CPL buddies already in
military service, these hon\efront
soldiers are using every ounce of
their experience and skill, day
and night, to maintain the flow
of electricity — the lifeblood of
war industry.
Years of experience and
training have given these
men the “know-how” to
keep the current flowing
thrpugh war and through
peace. They are men of
war on the HOMEfront!
You can depend on them.
CENTRAL POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY
BUY 'MORE WAR BONDS-ANO HOLD THEM
quietly away with her. “Of course I
would not take Mona to a formal af-
fair or to any place where I thought
she would not be welcome,” the
mother explains. “I dress her as
sweetly as I can, and Mona is learn-
ing quite a lot about how to behave
when in company.”
Although this may not be an ideal
way of solving the problem, it is one
way. Sometimes a hostess will invite
one or two youngsters and let them
have a tea party by themselves in
another room—that’s another solu-
tion.
The woman who mixes with the
outer world knows what is going on
there and is in a better position to
guide her family. Love quickens
mind and ear to pick up ideas wher-
ever she goes—ideas on health, edu-
cation, dress and other topics useful
in her work. Great advances r.re be-
ing made in child care and educa-
tion. If we do not know about these
how can we make use of them for
our precious ones?
Sometimes young mothers feel
that when the babies are able to feed
and dress themselves their own work
will be practically over. But then
come problems relating to the grow-
ing up of each child—beside which
early cares often shrink to insignifi-
cance by comparison. If a mother has
kept herself in touch with outside
activities, if she is still gay and
young, what a really congenial com-
panion she can be to her growing-up
sons and daughters, and the joy of
this is beyond anything else.
Money spent to relieve the mother
frpm the entire twenty-four hour
care of the children is not a luxury
but a part of the normal expense in-
cidental to raising a family. Leave
the children at home, if it is possible
to provide adequate care; if not, find
some other way. To make a real suc-
cess of motherhood occasional recre-
ation is essential. To go out to mix
with others is not only a pleasure
but a duty to ourselves and our pro-
fession.—National Kindergarten As-
sociation.
