RATIONING IN REALITY
Before Germany undertook to
change the economic set-up of
Denmark, the Danish people were
able to carry on trade in a free
and profitable way. They wore
proficient in raising enough food
for their consumption, of produc-
ing enough to supply the national
hunger and that outside their
■country. Since the introduction of
the Nazi policy, the Danes have
altered their way of - living and
principally of eating. People of
the former illustrious state of Den-
mark are killing one million of
their pigs, which is one-third the
total number, because they have
nothing to feed the pigs. The
ftwtner wise, system of Danish
house keeping has undergone a
change in papering and carpeting.
The fishing industry of Norway
k crushed due to the need of oil
and gasoline by Hitler’s war ma-
chine. No fish to supply a hungry
'people because they can’t run
ftshing boats. Poultry is scarce,
eggs are a rarity and there iB
little flour remaining.
In the land of the Swiss, where
milk, butter and cheeBe gave the
Swiss a name famous in dairy
products and its herds, the influ-
ence of the Nazi hand is felt.
'Where there was much to spare in
the country of the yodel for them-
selves and neighbors the Swiss
now must ration their milk, butter
and cream. A family of three will
have one pound of butter a month
and cream cannot be sold. And it
goes on and on. Just bear this in
mind as you sit down to your
vfcmner table.

DECEMBER
Back when the Emperor'JUliar.
formed a calendar.for computing
time, December was the tenth
month of his year, as its name
implies. Since that time the calen-
dar itself has been changed, but |
the name of December remained
although it became the twelfth
month of the yeas. The winding
up of another 52 weeks. We usu-
ally feel the importance of Janu-
ary because it is starting us out
on another voyage, but December
is more important as it is. a timij,
of reckoning of what we have left
undone, what »ve have Accomplish
ed in the past year. Then is when
we should review our accounts and
take inventory. December is so

busy shopping and preparing for
Christmas that in keeping the

NO NOBEL PRIZE?
An important date is December
10, which is the birthday of Al-
fred Nobel, a Swedish chemist
who, through his invention of
dynamite, collected a fortune that
was bequeathed to mankind, upon
his death in 1896. His estate of
about $9,000,00 was established as
a fund in the interest of science,
literature and peace. Each year
at this time, the Nobel awards
are made to those persons who
have contributed the most in these
lines in the past year. For the edi-
fication of mankind they are
known as the Nobel Vrt»e 'End
administered by Sweden through
a board of Swedish directors and
residents of Stockholm. The prizes
approximate $40,00 in money and
untold worth in distinguished ser-
vice to humanity. Sweden is now
the prisoner of Hitler, and know-
ing this effective way of making
the most of a situation, "we are
wondering who will gef the

III LI, OF RIGHTS
A mid-western university has
«atab]lshed a course, open to the
interested public, as well as for
the student body of the school, in
Americanism by enlightening the
vdfcenry on subjects of the Con-
stitution, amendments, Monroe
Doctrine, governmental functions
and so on. They start out the
«ourse with an interpretation of
*be Bill of Rights.
"December marks the 161st an-
niversary of the adoption of the
BIH of Rights. As you already
Ifaww, the Constitution had no
amendments when it was adopted,
Mt later when the need for such
arose, there were 10 amendments
added that became a part of the
'Qmstitution legally and were
taown as the Bill of Rights.
The Constitution is the very
tady of our government, but It
is remarked that the Bill of
Rights in the soul of our govern-
ment. They are what their name
aftater. These amendments give the
l»ody its life, its blood, its heart-
taat. After living under it for 161
Tears the Bill of Rights has with-
stood the storm and secured the
Staunch support of every Amerf-
THE. PECAN CROP
Come the new crop of pecan
meats to a tasty public, a market
with an appetite for goodies. With
this crop comes the new that it
will be the' second largest one in
our history.
As in other lines the machine
has replaced a great deal of the
hand labbr that used to shell these
pecans and if the worker was
quick be might shell 12 pounds of
nuts in a 10-hour day. In one
plant . where machinery is used
145 pounds can be shelled in 8
hours. It used to cost 16 cents
a pound for the entire operation
when the shelling was done by
hand while today it can be done
by machine for five cents. As else
where, there is always hardship
and unhappiness where the ma
chine replaces labor, but the pecan
grower is alive to the problem and
is working out the issue in n
most helpful way. With this in-
crease in the pecan crop many a
Teague home will have a delicacy
for pies and pralines that they
have not had too frequently in the
thinner years.

STUDENT TO USE ROOKS
IN UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
Any resident of Texas, whether
a student at the 'University of
Texas or not, may use the huge
library facilities of the Univer-
sity, according to a recent state-
ment of Donald Coney, Librarian.
The library of 640,000 books,
the largest in the South, is acces-
sible to anyone who takes the
trouble to write the University of
Texas Library in Austin and ask
for the books he desires.
Materials may be loaned out in
two ways. The most convenient
method is to get the local library
to borrow books from the Uni-
versity for use on its shelves. The
other is for the individual desiring
reading material to get in touch
with Librarian Donald Coney.
Mr. Coney, in a statement, em-
phasized that Texas residents
should check their local library
for the desired books before bor-
rowing them from the University show but when you
as the latter source should be used
service alt over the state.
Higher earnings for Texas
workers and additional men put
to work loomed as October’s most
significant business trend, it is
apparent from the over-all picture
shown by a survey of nine busi-
ness factors charted by the Uni
versity of Texas Bureau of Better
Business.
Included in the study were the
following factors:
Employment •*" up 1.8 per cent
above September and 2.2 per cent
above October, 1939.
Payrolls: 1.2 per cent higher
than in September, 5 per cent
higher than in October of last
year.
Building permits: up 63.6 per
cent over September and 7.1? per
cent above October, 1939.
Postal Receipts: 1 .7 per cent
over September and 7.3 per cent
above October, 1939.
THE CHRONICLE’S
.Weekly Scrapbook
Week’s Best Recipe:
French Fried Onion Rings: 4
large mild onions, */6 c milk, %
c flour, & salt, pepper. Wash and
peel onions. Slice them Vo inch
thick and separate slices into rings.
Dip into milk, then- into flour, sea-
son with salt and pepper. Fry in
hot, deep fat, 350 degrees, for
four to six min. or until lightly
browned. Drain on brown paper.
Yield: 6 portions.
Hints For Gifts:
With so many hands busy with
knitting needles there isn’t so
much timidity in undertaking
socks. Young girls love the soft
wool anklets that are quickly
made. A suggestion for a lovely
gift and one that isn’t so expen-
sive, is to buy soft % white wool
anklets for a girl and pick up
the stitches around the top of
them with your needles. Knit a
rubbing for a turn-back of angora
and win the heart of some lass.
This can be worked out with
wrist-bands on mittens to match
Or buy mittens that are inexpen-
sive and plain and embroider
cross-stitch woolen patterns down
the back of them.
For Garnishing:
For creamed soups and better
taste and a, change try the follow-
ing on their top: small strips of
green pepper or pimento, grated
cheese, dash of paprika or nut-
meg, vegetables shredded very
finely, chopped parsley or water-
cress, whipped cream or a dash
of horseradish mixed with whipped
cream, small toasted croutons.
To Ice Cake:
Angel food cake is difficult to
cut after icing is added, so cut
the cake into the number of pieces.
Ice your cake with the boiled ic-
ing as uauAl. The cuts will not
piece the icing clings to the sides

Self-Consciousness
Are, you self-conscious when you
come into the presence of strang-
ers? If so, would you’like to know
how to cure yourself?
In the first place, don’t, worry
if you are self-conscious on meet-
ing new people. Many people are,
more or less, tf you are very
self-conscious, then 1 you merely
have an exaggerated case.
Luther Burbank, the plant wiz-
ard, was so self-conscious as a
boy that if he came in from the
field and saw an extra plate on
the table, which showed 'there
would be company for supper, he
would not come to the table. He
would stay outside and eat in the
kitchen rather than face someone
he didn’t know.
The distinguished American
writer, Nathaniel Hawthorne, was
so self-conscious that when he saw
visitors start up the walk to his
house, he would become so panic-
stricken that he would go down
and sit in the kitchen until they
were gone. This was not when he
was a boy, as in the case of Bur-
bank, but even when he was mar-
ried. His wife would have to sit
in the parlor and entertain the
visitors.
These are exaggerated examples
of a feeling we all have. So don’t
worry if you are self-conscious
when you meet strangers. It’s
mostly a matter of degree. The
important thing is how to cure
yourself. Here are four ways
which will be of tremendous help:
First, take a course in public
speaking. If the student is taught
to get up on his feet and talk,
then you will gain poise and self-
possession. When you lose your
fear of crowds, you lose your fear
of individuals.
Second, think about someone
else instead of yourself. At the
bottom of nearly all. shyness on
meeting strangers, is this think-
ing of self. Homer Croy, the
writer, is famous, for feeling at
ease when he meets people. He
said: “I’m so much more interest-
ed in the person I’m meeting than
I am in myself, I forget myself.
I get the person to talking about
himself, or his interests, and usu-
ally we get along fine.”
Third, a«k questions. Direct at-
tention away from yourself. Then
follow closely what he says. Real-
ly concentrate. Think the thoughts
he is uttering and thoughts of
yourself will disappear.
Fourth, get out and do things.
Don’t sit in a corner and envy
people who have an easy manner
when they meet others.
The late Martin Johnson, fam-
ous explorer, was so shy of people
when he was a young man that
he would pretend he had a head-
ache and go off into a room by
himself. He helped overcome this
shyness by doing something. He
worked his way from his home in
Independence, Kansas, to Chicago
and then to Europe and back for
$6.25. He finally got back to
America by hiding as a stowaway
in a life boat on a steamer bound
for New York. By the time he
was home again, his self-con-
sciousness was gone.
There they are! Four simple
rules anyone can apply.

PARENTHOOD
By Mrs. Catherine C. Edwards
One thing about living j a
i to DC
light-house, you don’t have
so particular about the shade be-
ing down when you undress.
After a Teague man spends a
couple of hours trying to start the
fire, try and convince him that
it’s possible to start a forest fire
with a cigarette.
Aboutv the only way a woman
can get money out of some hus-
bands, without having to ask for
it, is to divorce him.
So we are the healthiest nation
in the world, says a scientist. We
must wise-crack with “you’re tell-
ing us!”
Grandma Knew a Thing Or Two
In grandmother’s day it was
taken for granted that babies were
hungry most of the time. The
baby might be protesting at the
top of his lungs because he had
too many clothes on for comfort,
but it rarely occurred to anyone
to stop his tears with anything
but his bottle. Have babies chang-
ed, then, to produce all the feed-
ing problems we hear so much
about? No, babies haven’t changed
—it is ideas about infant diet
that h&ve been revolutionized. For
no longer do we allow a whole
year of the child’s life to elapse
before we ask him to taste some-
thing besides milk.
What are the advantages of
present-day emphasis on introduc-
tion solid foods into the baby’s
diet over his frequent protesta-
tions? The first great advantage
is that we are better able to sup-
ply the child with all the essential
food values so that his bones, nn
muscles, his nerve centers will
keep pace in their development
with his weight. The second im-
portant gain is that we accustom
him from the start to a varied
diet.
Naturally, the sooner we begin
to learn a way of living, the soon-
er we will take it for granted
as the one we should follow. For
instance, if we waited to learn to
walk until after we had become
aware of the dangers to be en-
countered in getting about the
streets, many timid souls might
refuse to try to walk. In the
same way if iwe allow a small
child to eat only those foods which
immediately appeal to his taste,
he grows more than ever deter-
mined to play safe and refuse
new dishes.
Many feeding problems arose
from the fact that mothers ac-
cepted this need for a varied diet
before they learned to act in admin-
istering it. They were so intent on
forcing the child to eat certain
highly publicized vegetables that
they made no allowance for in-
dividual preferences. A little
imagination, a little reading up on
the subject of vegetables and their
nutritive values, or a consultation
with your child’s doctor, will open
up many new possibilities for sup-
plying this part of your child’s
diet in ways which will add to the
pleasure of his meal instead of
detract from it.
And the same thit.g applies to
other food necessities. Think of
various combinations to tempt the
-child’s appetite just as you do in
planning meals for the older mem-
bers of the family. While two and
two make four in diet as well as
arithmetic, don’t forget that three
and one add up to the same figure.
We can point to our increasing-
ly healthy babies as one proof of
the superiority of our methods of
regular and more varied feedings.
But it might not be amisB to re-
capture grandmother’s comfortable
assumption that babies like to eat.
Then we won’t be so apt to ap-
proach them, with fear and trembl-;
ing when we have a diet cha
to offer.
You don’t really need A recipe
for hash, all you require is an
accumulation. ' -
