WOODWARD H. D. NEWS
Do you know what Variety Meats
are? This was a question Miss
Marie Neff, County II. D. Agent,
asked the Woodward H. D. group
Tuesday afternoon, meeting in the
home of Mrs. Martin Sehulze.
Miss Neff told US the heart, liver,
kidney, sweetbreads, tongue and
brains were known as the variety
meats. Her demonstrations were
the stuffing of the heart and making
of scapple. All agreed that both
were very tasty. It was very inter-
esting to learn the amount of food
value each of these variety meats
had. Every family should have one
of these meats at least once a day
each week. Liver has a greater a-
mount of vitamins than any of these
meats.
The Singer Company of Uvalde is
sending a representative to Cotulla
to show anyone interested in the
correct way of making slip covers.
This will be held on the afternoon
of April 1" in the Home Making Room
of the High School. Everyone is
invited and is requested to contact
Mrs. Nutt or Miss Neff if planning
to attend. The hour will be ann-
ounced at a later date.
Mrs. E. O. Ehlert reported that
some progress was being made to-
ward the very interesting project of
Aluminum tray making. It is hop-
ed that more definite information
will be available by the next meeting.
An all day meeting is being held
Thursday and Friday of this week in
the home of Mrs. Pickett Dorough.
Mrs. Florence Low, a home manage-
ment specialist will instruct two
women from each club in the county.
They will pass along the information
gained to their respective clubs.
The next meeting will be in the
home of Mrs. Pickett Dorough, March
11, at 2;30 p. m. Mrs. E. O. Ehlert
will give a demonstration on meat
salads. All members are urged to
be present and bring a prospective
member.

Whatever make

That’s low-cost cooking all right Why? Because in
cooking oven meals on the automatic electric range,
the electricity is actually on less than one-third oi the
time, but it maintains the desired cooking temperature all the time.
Thousands of South Texas homemakers find that electric cooking is also
economical because it saves food waste. Electric heat can be controlled so accu-
rately that it cooks meats perfectly with almost no shrinkage — all the delicious
juices are retained. As for baking, you can count on uniformly good results.
Best of all, the operating cost of the modem electric range is low. You can
: electrically for about three cents a meal. That’s little to pay for automatic,
, clean, cool cooking at the flick of a switch. Save time, labor and money with
-cost electricity on the job.

Austin, Feb. 28—Ringworm of the
scalp appears to be increasing in
some sections of Texas, and action is
• underway to contain it.
I Known in medical ciicles as “tinea
capitas,” ringworm of the scalp is
I said to be prevalent in the Rio Gran-
I de Valley, Houston, San Antonio, and
! Dallas. Reports to the State Dep-
J artment of Health say skin special-
I ists in those areas are seeing in-
j creasing numbers of infected child-
| ren.
A preliminary study conducted by
i the State health agency among 891
children in two Rio Grar.de Valley
schools shows 5.5 percent positive in-
fections, in one group and 5.7 per-
cent in the other. Positively infec-
ted girls outnumbered the boys four
to one, although there were more boy
students, the study showed.
Ringworm is contagious. Child-
ren are most often afflicted, although
adults, while less disposed to infection
often have more severe and longer
lasting attacks.
Ringworm is marked by round,
scaly areas on the scalp, and patchy
baldness on short, broken-off hairs.
It is caused by a fungus—a vegeta-
ble like growth caused by spores.
Sources of infection, health officials
and skin specialists say, are the
scalp lesions of infected persons,
articles of clothing containing the
spores or the infected hairs or scales
shed by an infected person.
State Health Officer Geo. W. Cox,
in cooperation with the skin special-
ists society of the Texas Medical As-
sociation, and the State Board of
Barbers and Cosmotologists, is re-
writing the rules and regulations
governing the sterilization of beauty
and barber shop instruments after
each use. They hope to get legisla-
tion enacted to povide penalities for
non-compliance.
There is no immunization against
ringworm. Recommended control
measures are cleanliness of the hair
and scalp, and provisions for separ-
ate isolation classrooms for suspici-
ous cases. Positively infected child-
ren should be excluded from school
until the condition is cleared up, Dr.
Cox believes.

Farm ElectrificM^n Bureau
Farming operations look pretty
complicated these days. Many farms
have more motors and electrical
equipment scattered around than can
be found in the average small town
machine shop. Actually, however,
such equipment has simplified, rather
than complicated, the farmer’s way
CART MADE FROM HDDs AND
ENDS—to transport large motor
around farm
of life. It has taken over numerous
chores formerly performed by man-
ual labor.
Nearly every electrified farm has
two or more portable motors on hand
to operate various “choring machin-
ery ” Motors of from Vi to Vi horse-
power operate such equipment as
cream separators, fanning mills, drill
presses, emery wheels and small corn
ihellers, circular saws and feed mix
.rs. Those of from I to 3 horsepnwci
operate corn elevators, hoists, pumps,
etc., and larger motors—5 to 7Vi'hp.—
run ensilage cutters, crop driers and
many other devices.
Motors, which are not an integral
part of electric equipment, can be
moved from job to job without dif-
ficulty. Handles for small motors may
be made of two strands of heavy
wire, twisted together at the top and
covered with a section of rn u«i hose.
The wire is attached to the two top
frame bolts of the motor. Larger
motors are transported by carts.
Usually, a cart can be built from odds
and ends of discarded farm equip-
ment, for instance—handles from a
walking plow, wheels from tongue
trucks of a horsedrawn disc and the
frame from 2-inch bar iron.
Electric power has taken over much
of the lifting, loading and moving
jobs around scores of modern farms.
Elevators, operated by motors of from
2 to 5 hp. are used to fill silos and to
move grain and hay into storage bins
and mows. Baled hay, elevated to the
mow door, can be moved to any de-
sirable position by horizontal* con-
veyors and re-elevated by inclined
plane elevators. These handy eleva-
tors are easily wheeled around the
granary or other buildings to load
wagons or to shift produce from place
to place.
One Ohio fanner built a 120-foot
long, enclosed conveyor to move grain
from the granary to his steer feeding
| barn. It operates with a 2 hp. motor.
Another form of “feed mover” is the
silo unloader Located in the top of
conventional silos or built into spe-
cially des.gned. commercial struc-
tures, they scrape silage into the
chute where it drops into feed carts.
And these are only a few of the
motor-operated devices on farms to-
day. In fact, it would be hard to
visualize an electrified farm whosa
I operator hasn't put motors to use irr
one way or another to do his chores
■'asier, faster and more economi. ally.
