Austin, November 25.—That rats
not only destroy property, but carry
disease germs, is a well known fact.
Prompt and effective measures by
the United States Public Health Ser-
vice for killing and rat proofing
buildings have saved this country
from serious epidemics, such as oc-
curred in the Old World in past gen-
erations.
“It has been estimated that in the
United States, rats and mice each

Austin, November 25.—The first
step toward the collection of taxes
under the Social Security Act in
the First Texas District has been
taken by Frank Scofield, collector
of internal revnue, with the distribu-
tion of 30,000 forms to a list of pos-
sible taxpayers. They are for employ-
ers of eight or more persons not in
agricultural or livestock work or
domestic service in a private home.
The act does not apply to employes
of the federal or state governments or
any political subdivision or instru-
mentality of these, such as cities,
,, counties or school districts.
Mr. Scofield explained in a state-
ment issued here that his present
lists probably are not complete, that
many returns doubtless will be sent
to some of those who are not liable
for the tax and that many others
who are liable will not receive a
blank form until they ask for it.
He urges that all who receive the
forms study them carefully to de-
termine if they are liable for the
tax, and if so that they fill out the
return carefully and accurately after
January 1, 1937, and mail it to his
office here in Austin, together with
the tax due, so that it will reach
here not later than January 31.
Employers who fail to receive
blank form and who employ eight
or more persons not in the excepted
classes are urged to communicate
with the collector immediately and
request a blank. Failure to receive a
form, unless requested, does not re-
lieve an employer of liability for
the tax and for penalities in case of
delay in filing return. The returns
are made on Form 940. The period
covered by the forms just distributed
is the calendar year 1936 and the
rate is 1 per cent of an employer’s
total payroll of those not jr> the ex-
cepted classes,
It is the tax levied under this tjtje
for which Texas employers may get

“In recent years the use of ‘red
squill’ as an effective rat poison has
weapon. In case human beings or
domestic animals should eat the bait
containing ‘red squill- they would
vomit and rid themselves of the poi-
son, but it seems that rats cannot
vomit and they die of a progressive
paralysis which kills in from one to
four days, thereby giving them time
to take to the open, as they commonly
will.
“A thorough and systematic cam-’’
paign to rid your neighborhood anc^
community of rats will not only save
money but will preserve your health
and that of your family.”

The Chevrolet Motor Company to-
day offered its thanks to the Amer-

company the greatest year in its his-
tory by buying 1,130,000 new 1936
Chevrolets.
In display advertisements printed
in newspapers throughout the coun-
try, Chevrolet expressed its appre-
ciation for the warm friendship of
the American people, which enabled
the company to break all previous
marks for domestic production and

Denton, November 25.—Dresses <
have gone “swing time.” Now that j
the country has whole-heartedly ac- i
cepted the new rhythm in popular
music, fashion has stepped in to fol-
low suit, and the resulting swing
frocks are just the answer to a young
modern’s request for something semi-
dressy.
They are especially good for after-
noon parties, teas, or informal gath-
erings of “the crowd.” For the cock-
tail hour, you can add a lame blouse.
In one shop I saw a gold lame blouse,
with squared shoulders accented by
unusually large leg o’motton sleeves.
The blouse buttoned down the front
with self-covered buttons, and a pep-
lum effect was secured by a narrow
gathered band at the front and back
waistline. This blouse is worn on top
of a six gored black file crepe skirt.
Girls at Texas State College for
Women (CIA) are especially for a
20-gored skirt worn with a red vel-
vet fitted jacket bound in black gros-
grain ribbon. The jacket fastens with
ribbon covered buttons.
Aternoon frocks in swing time are
made of file crepe or taffeta. One
model has a wide band of silk rick-
rack braid around the circular skirt,
and this solid work is also carried
out in the fullness of the leg o’ mot-
ton sleeves. A tiny egg shell satin
collar and six gold buttons down the
waist front are used for trimming.
Delicately appliqued yokes and
sleeves of filmy marquisette glorify
many swing frocks. The skirts are
simple with not too much flare, and
smartness is achieved through the
unusual waist designs.

The advertisement, appearing to-
day, declared, in part: “The builders
of Chevrolet are thankful for many
things, but most of all for the warm
friendship of the American people.
“All we can say is, ‘Thanks a mil-
lion* for more than a million cars in
1936; and all we can do is offer you
the still finer Chevrolet of 1937 in

ELECTRIC COOKING
XS COOKING AT ITS BEST
Foods go farther when cooked electrically. Meats shrink
less and cheaper cuts melt in your mouth. Vegetables cook
the waterless way. They retain their natural flavor and are
more nourishing. What you save on the food budget will
help you pay for an electric range.

editorial
In the county seat Monday of this
week the editor encountered several
men on whose minds the foremost
thought seemed to be highways. It
was all brought about by the recent
successful bond election in our sis-
ter of Sour Lake. Sour Lake has de-
cided that they are going to stand
alone in the business of building
roads. They are not to be counted
upon for any county-wide road bond
issue for the good of the whole coun-
ty. . . . ■
The two other road districts in this
county—Silsbee and Saratoga dis-
triefs—could get together and work
out a plan of roads that would im-
mensely benefit these two sections.
A bond issue for these two districts
at this time would carry with a lit-
tle educational campaign supporting
it. And. we could build an east-west
highway from one side of the county
io the other &at would open up some
of the best farm territory in the
state.
Prominent men in the county, and
high-up county officials are ready
to actively support such a i'™£rnTn
It is up to a representative group
from the two districts to get together
and call for a bond election. Let’s
not put off this important business
.of building roads any longer. They
are badly needed, and now is the
time to get them.
