Wives: Aren’t They Funhy?
Our wife thinks there are* times
■ when the children need a certain
amount of punishment, but for some
reason we have never been able to
punish one at the right time or in the
right degree. After we have punishd
a child, our wife tells us that the lit-
[ tie fellow hasn’t been well for two
or three days and she declares that
we ought to be real proud of ourself
for jumping or. him. She congratu-
lates us on our victory, but at the
| same time intimates that we would
have exhibited more courage if we

Bathing Girls Revue
to Be Held in May;
Big Prizes Offered
NEW ORLEANS, La., Mar. 18.—The
rice market showed no change today.
Routine sales made up most of the ac-
tivity locally, while interior mills re-
ported small buying of fancy and
choice grades for prompt shipment to
Northern markets. Spots prices v ere
firm and unchanged. Fancy and ex:ra
fancy lots were very scare and de-
manded premiums. Fancy Blue Rose
was quoted at 6 3-4c to 7c a pound,
choice 6 l-2c to 6 5-8c, fancy Hondu-
ras and other long grains 7 3 Ic to
8 l-4c and fancy second heads 5 l 1c
to 5 l-2c. Receipts were light.
the tenth anuol child welfare coiifer-
ente, Mrs. Fred Carleton, president of
the Bay City Parent-Teacher Associa-
tion, presided, and after the invoca-
tion by the Rev, Paul Engle and mu-
sical numbers, Mrs.
duced Mrs. J. 0. Tanner of Columbus,
president of the fourth district of
Texas branch of the parent-teacher
organization.
Mrs. Tannei’ in turn presented Mrs.
C. E. Maddocks, the Texas Congress
of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Asso-
ciations, who brought the official
greeting of the state branch to
district meeting.
Mrs. Maddocks sketched briefly the
ideals and policies of the organiza-
tion of which she is the highest state
officer. She stressed particularly the
need of the work of the pre school age
department and in this connection
recommended that parent-teacher as-
sociations spend more time in study
and less time in the making of m. r.ey:
the summer round-up of the thibiren.
to take stock of the physical condi-
tion of those who will enter school
at the beginning of the fall term;
summarizing the accomplishments of
the first year of this important phase
of the work in which Texas ranked
high, carrying off three of the pi ires
in the contest which closed the round-
up. This she said was nothing short
of remarkable with our Mexican sit-
uation and our great distances. She
urged that this movement be inaugu-
rated earlier this coming summer, and
explained the simplicity of the plan
to be followed this year in compari-
son with that of last. All any club
need to do, she said, is to send in to
her their name and address togerner
with the statement that taey desired
to enter this round-up movement, ano
that she would enter their names and
furnish them complete instructions.
“The Knighthood of Youth” is a
movement which the parent-teacher
associations are endorsing, and which
takes care of the boy and the girl
from the ages of 7 to 12, or until they
are of an age eligible for membership
in boy and girl scout movements and
girl reserve activities, said Mrs. Mad-
docks. Her closing remarks were a
plea for a loving, friend attitude to-
ward each other Not so much stren-
uous work as much as more social
good times.
Bay City is to be congratulated in
having the state president with them
for the majority of the sessions as she
will not be able to stay so long at the
other district conferences of which
there will be 10, all of which occur
within the next few weeks.
There were present on the last day
of the tenth annual child welfare con-
ference of the fourth district of Texas
Congress of Mothers and Parent-
Teacher Associations, four of the dis-
trict presidents, as follows:
Mrs. O. M. Longnecker of Houston
who served the district as its head
from 1920-22; Mrs. Munroe Chapman
of Beaumont who succeeded to the
presidency in 1922 and held the office
for two terms of two years each or
until 1926; Mrs. J. O. Tanner of Co-
lumbus who has been president for
the past two years and whose term of
office will expire in November, and
Mrs. W. D. Wilson of Bay City, who
was yesterday selected to carry the
torch for fourth district for the
Carleton intro-' two years.
GALVESTON, Texas, Mar. 18.—
With the first international pageant
of pulchritude and seventh annual
bathing girls revue still two months
off, great interest is being manifested
in the event and unprecedented suc-
cess seems assured.
More than 40 cities have already ac-
cepted invitations to elect candidates
and national contests are being staged
in Canada, Mexico and Cuba, to select
beauties to compete with America’s
fairest daughters. With other cities
coming in almost daily, the entry list
is expected to total 75 by May 1.
The winnei- will receive $2000 in
gold and a silver plaque denoting
award of the title, “Beauty Queen of
the Universe.” Other cash prizes
total $4000.
Miniature floats, artistically decor-'
ated, will be used this year instead of
autos, as heretofore. The pageant
will run three days, May 15-17, and,
besides the daily parades of the inter-
city beauties in various costumes, the
high lights of the big spectacle will
be the beauty pageant proper, in bril-
liantly illuminated and gorgeously
embellished “court of honor,” in Me-
nard Park and the international beau-
ty ball in Garden of Tokio.
Another new feature will be a re-
viewing stand along the parade route
on Seawall Boulevard, with accommo-
dations for 20,000 spectators. The at-
tendance record of last year when
more than 100,000 visitors saw “Miss
Dallas” carry off first honors, is ex-
pected to be doubled this year.
Railroads are preparing to handle
large delegations from cities that will
have candidates. This is especially
true of Omaha, Mexico City and Win-
nipeg. In these cities, special trains
are being arranged for to bring parties
of boosters to root for their favorites.
Mexico City’s famous Police Band of
86 pieces is expected to accompany
“Senorita Mexico” to Galveston.

New Orleans Rice
of
BY MRS. A. P. TODD
Words of highest praise for the
splendid welcome and unstinted hos-
pitality given by the people of Bay
City and particularly the Bay City
Parent-Teacher Association, were
heard on every side throughout the
conference. The pleasure of the vis-
itors took concrete form Wednesday
at the last session of the annual meet-
ing, in resolutions adopted and or-
dered spread upon the minutes. These
resolutions contained every expres-
sion of appreciation and of high
praise, and showed the keen interest
of the visiting organization in every-
thing local: The local leader, Mrs.
Fred Carleton, with her cops of effi-
cient officers and her band of loyal
members; the co-operation of the cit-
izens of the town as evidenced in the
welcome to individual homes of dele-
gates and the type of entertainment
lavished upon them while here; the
interest of surrounding communities
in insisting upon sharing the visitors
with Bay City; the sincere expressions
of" understanding and welcome as ex-
pressed by the mayor of the hostess
city in his welcome address and his
attendance upon the sessions of the
conference; the local paper for un-
limited space on its front page de-
voted to convention news; the appar-
ent satisfaction of the entire district
with its 27 counties, in leaving the
highest office it has to confer in the
hands of a Bay City woman, and the
happy knowledge that the correspond-
ing secretary is a fellow-townswoman
of the president.
All these things and more too nu-
merous to mention, combined to make
the tenth annual conference of the
fourth district of the Texas Congress
of Mothers and Barent-Teacher Asso-
ciations one of the happiest ever held
and to bring the statement from the
highest officials of the state and na-
tional bodies in attendance here, that
they had never attended a more satis-
factory district meeting.
For the courtesies of the Rotarians
in inviting Mrs. Ed. Kneeland, state
chairman of life membership, and
Mrs. Edna Fox, field representative of
the American Social Hygiene Asso-
ciation of New York, to speak to
them; for the invitation to Mrs. Fox
to have the opportunity she so greatly
desired and the district wanted for
her to talk to the high school stu-
dents.
