LIGHT BULBS
Increased Social
Security Benefits
Talked at Capital
WASHINGTON. — Greater
security benefits for old people were
advocated today by several legisla-
tors amid increasing congressional
suggestions for changes in the act.
Discussion centered about two
possible revisions:
A flat federal monthly grant of $20
to $30 to persons over 60 or 65.
A change in the present formula of
equal federal and state contributions
so that the government in the future
Would provide $2 to the state’s $1 up
to a designated maximum.
Senator Downey, Democrat, Calif.,
said he wanted the flat federal pay-
ment—a proposal which some legis-
lators contended would meet with
White House approval.
Under that program, aged persons
would receive a monthly check from
the federal government plus any ad-
ditional sum provided by their states.
The proposal to change existing
matching requirements came from
Senator Connally, Democrat, Texas,
a member of the finance committee.
Connally suggested that the govern-
ment watch the state’s old-age bene-
fits on a two-to-one basis up to a
maximum total of $15 a month.
At present, the government
matches state funds on a $1 for $1
basis up to a maximum monthly ben-
efit of $40.
Electric light bulbs have to be re-
newed occasionally if the home is to
be properly lighted. To help shop-
pers for light bulbs, lighting experts
of the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture have compiled the following in-
formation on wattage, voltage, color
and care of such bulbs:
It is more economical to buy one
light bulb of high wattage than sev-
eral bulbs of low wattage. Not only
is the initial cost less, but one bulb
of high wattage actually supplies
more light than several small ones.
For instance, one 100-watt bulb costs
15 cents while four 25-watt bulbs
cost 40 cents. The cost of operation
is the same, but it would take six 25-
watt bulbs to furnish the same
amount of illumination as one 100-
watt bulb.
While bulbs differ in the color of
light they supply, for most purposes
either inside-frosted or plain glass
bulbs are satisfactory. Inside-frosted
bulbs, however, give a more diffused
light than clear ones. But either kind
needs to be enclosed in a diffusing
bowl or shade, for if not shaded a
bulb of any wattage has an uncom-
fortable glare.
Because dust collects on electric
bulbs, reducing their lighting effi-
ciency, it is necessary to clean them |
occasionally. The safest way to do 1

On January 1, 1940, there were
32,245,000 persons living on farms in
the United States, according to the
Bureau of Agricultural' Economics.
S'.O'xia^
Of each species of living things
some one individual somehow, some-
where, is the largest of its kind.
“Nogal de la Musica” is the Goliath
of all pecan trees. So large is it that
ordinary pecan trees appear as mere
saplings.
It has a limb spread of 150 feet
and an altitude of 160 feet. At four
feet above the ground the diameter
is 10% feet, and the circumference at
the ground is 41 feet. According to
its owner, Senor Gaspar Corral, the
average annual yield is about one
ton.
Two hundred successive crops of
nuts! This was an old tree when the
United States declared its independ-
ence—how old no one knows—but it
had been bearing at least 35 years.
Perhaps Cabeza de Caca, the Spanish
explorer who passed through the re-
gion about the year 1530, paused to
rest in its shade and listened to the
wind playing in the leaves high
above.
The massive old tree is growing in
Allende Valley some 300 miles south
of El Paso, Texas.—Mary Alene Mc-
Donald, in The Progressive Farmer.
GEESE COULD DO DOMAGE
- Argentine geese are so thick in
South Amercia they are killed with
clubs and E. T. Buis of East Bernard
suggested to the State Game Depart-
ment that thousands could be cap-
tured and released in the United
States. His suggestion was referred
o our car to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-
javelinas vice. Officials pointed out Argentine
---geese are non-migratory and since
they, in common with most geese,
are grazers, it is believed the damage
they would do in agricultural areas
would more than offset the benefit
derived from them.
WHY NOT INCLUDE GIRLS?
Publicizing of a motto, “Take a
Boy Hunting and Fishing,” brought
an inquiry recently from J. C. Cross
of the department of biology of A. &
I. College of Kingsville which read:
“Why not change your motto of a
real sportsman to include girls as
well as boys. Girls like to hunt and
fish.” Thanks, Mr. Cross.
COYOTE RETURNS HOME
Even coyotes have a homing in-
stinct—provided they have a home to
go to, says the Corpus Christi Caller.
Mickey, a 6-month-old coyote
raised by E. C. Schneider of Mer-
cedes, recently was given away to a
family six miles east of town. Be-
ing raised in the city since the day he
opened his eyes, the young coyote
evidently never developed a liking
for the wide open spaces and even
the farm had no appeal to this citi-
fied convert of the wolf pack. Mick-
ey returned to his home here when
his new owner turned him loose.
“Eating meat scraps from a plate
is probably a lot easier than running
down jackrabbits for a daily meal,”
Schneider says in trying to figure out
why the wolf pup returned. “Confi-
dentially, though, I believe he likes
his old master.”
Here is a complete home for
a family of modest size. Con-
taining two bedrooms, a good-
sized living room, separate din-
ing room, kitchen, and garage,
this home offers no startling
architectural innovations but
should provide a pleasant place
in which to live.
The exterior of this home is
informal and unpretentious.
The walkway to the garage
and the front-entrance stoop
are wisely protected by an ex-
tension of the roof, a conven-
ience made doubly desirable by
the fact that the front door
opens directly into the living
room.
Perhaps the most interest-
ing feature of this house lies
in the financing. This prop-
erty, valued at $3,600, was
financed with a mortgage of
$3,200 insured by the Fed-
eral Housing Administration.
Monthly payments on a 25-
year mortgage of this amount,
exclusive of taxes and hazard
insurance, amount to approxi-
mately $19.

TRAPPING WORK PROSPERS
Antelope and deer trapping, the
1two major projects of their kind car-
ried on by the Texas Game, Fish and
Oyster Commission still flourish and
are expected to continue to do so for
at least two more months, the execu-
tive secretary of the Commission has
announced. Birds and animals trap-
ped on overstocked areas are planted
in sections suitable for game, but
from which they have been shot out.
Latest reports are that nearly 300
antelope have been trapped in West
Texas and that 100 more than that
number of deer have been taken in
the traps set by Game Department
■workmen on South Texas ranches.
Antelope already trapped outnumber
the total taken last yeai' and the 400
deer enticed into traps are within
three score of the deer distributed
last year.
The Game Department is using
■airplanes with which to round up
antelope with horsemen co-operat-
ing. Cost of the rounding up of the
fleet animals has been reduced to
where it is now $1.70 per animal.
That is believed to be the smallest
cost of trapping any kind of big game
■animal managed in this country.
A cheerful home makes a cheerful family. No
home can have a cheerful, inviting aspect if the wood
work, floors and furniture need refinishing and the
walls re-papering. Right now, at the beginning of a
new year, is the time to brighten up the home, inside
and outside. It will brighten up the family circle.

THIS STORY TOPS ’EM ALL
A recent report in this column of a
grandfather and grandson shooting
so simultaneously that neither knew
the other had fired brought an even
better story from E. M. (Ted) Dealey,
president of the A. H. Belo Corp.,
publishers of the Dallas Morning
News. Whereas grandpa hit and
grandson missed, Dealey and a hunt-
ing partner not only shot simulta-
neously, but each hit the same javer
lina at exactly the same spot. Best of
<all, it was getting along toward dark
and was so dusky that it made for
■extremely hard shooting.
Mr. Dealey’s story, 'which should
top all yarns of its kind: “Recently
we were on the way back to our —
at about dusk when two ;
jumped out of a live oak thicket, one
of these fellows, a big boar which we
estimated weighed 75 pounds, stop-
ped in a little grassy glade about 15
lyards the other side of the live oaks.
I was ahead of my hunting partners,
Donald Bennett and Raymond Foy,
T)y about 25 yards.
“When the javelina stepped out in-
to the grassy glade Bennett and I
fired simultaneously. I didn’t know
he had shot and he didn’t know I
had fired. Each of us thought we had
killed the boar. When we got him to
camp and the Mexicans started skin-
ning him out, we found there was
only one bullet hole in his skin where
the bullets had gone in. However,
LITTLEFIELD.—Carrying out a
request made before her death,
friends of Mrs. Lena Howard, 85, dec-
orated her grave with checks instead
of flowers at burial services here.
She had requested that her friends
place checks and not flowers on her
grave and that the money be given
to a worthy cause.
Approximately $200 was sent to
the Buckner Orphans Home at Dal-
las as her friends complied with the
request.

ICALI Of I
PHILADELPHIA. — Three of the
country’s leading psychiatrists today
proposed the labeling of every bottle
of liquor sold in the United States as
poison.
In interviews at the conclusion of
a symposium on alcohol conducted by
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science, Dr. Merrill
Moore and Dr. Abraham Myerson of
Boston, Mass., and Dr. Leo Alexan-
der of Harvard University declared
that the Federal Food and Drug Ad-
ministration should require all dis-
tillers to place on their bottles a
label warning that the liquor is a
narcotic drug which is definitely
harmful.
No new legislation is necessary to
institute such a ruling because the
present Food and Drug Law empow-
ers the Administration to make rul-
ings considered necessary for the
health of the public, Dr. Alexander
declared.
Dr. Moore added that “there is no
reason why alcohol should not be
labeled a poison in the same way that
arsenic, carbolic acid and other
poisons are labeled. If this was done
it would be a step toward temper-
ance and a decrease in our terrifical-
ly high rate of hospitalization of al-
coholic addicts.”
Alcoholism, he declared, “is 1,000
times a greater problem than that of
any other narcotic drug and the at-
tack on it should begin with such
simple approaches as ‘warning, pois-
on’ labels on liquor bottles and per-
haps on cocktail glasses.”
Dr. Myerson added that “alcohol in
proper amounts is a very effective
therapeutic agent and even in mod-
erate amounts is helpful because
mankind properly needs some seda-
tion and relief from the strain of
modern living.”
However, he added, “if alcohol is
taken in inordinate quantities it is
definitely dangerous to the human
organism and every person who buys
a bottle of alcohol should have the
fact btought to his attention that he
is about to drink a potential poison.”
WASHINGTON. — Nearly 500,000
acres of all kinds of land have been
planted to trees by the Soil Conser-
vation Service during 1940, Dr. Hugh
H. Bennett, director, states.
This season’s plantings amount to
67,000,000 trees on 67,000 acres of
farm and other land through the na-
tion. Planting schedules for next
season will result in a cumulative to-
tal of 628,000,000 trees on 530,250
acres.
Of the plantings slightly more than
2 per cent are in Texas and Oklaho-
ma districts, the survey shows, while
41 per cent are in the Cotton Belt
east of the Mississippi River.
Black locust is the most widely
used tree, but other popular decid-
uous trees are oak, ash, black walnut,
willow mulberry, wild plum, Chinese
elm and hackberry.
there were two bullet holes right
through the carcass, approximately
a half inch apart. You could have
covered both of them with a silver
dollar.”

standing 25 yards apart and shooting
in near dusk!

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.—There’s
no question about who wakes up the
bugler who wakes up the soldiers at
the San Francisco Presidio.
The bugle always blows on time,
and with no sour notes—for the
Thirtieth Infantry now rises to the
call of a robot bugler which plays all
the standard calls on phonograph
disks.
The machine holds twelve records
and is controlled by an electric clock
to play in correct sequence day after ,
day. Or, in an emergency, any par-
ticular call may be sounded by push-
ing a button.
