ALL ABOUT SHIRTS
| Whether the men of the family
fly all of their own shirts or dele-
ita thia task to their wives or
othars, the fact remans that
istomeis want to know how to
i y a shirt which can be buttoned
ft the collar after it has been
laAed.
Thia subject has proved so
jopular that Congress asked the
iu of Home Economics to make
thorough study of the shirt sit-
ition, and these findings are now
mailable to the general public, ac-
ftrding to Mrs. Dora K. Barnes,
thing specialist for the A. and
College Extension Service,
linkage cannot he judged by
ermin'ng the type of shirt fab-
so the consumer must refer to
label where he will find an ac-
int of the shirt's "shrinkubility"
Inquired by the Federal Trade
^mmission. Under a recent com
ission ruling terms like "pre-
runk" may be used only if quali-
j ;d by an additional statement,
chTfe "will not shrink more than
percent."
If a label says "full shrunk"
thout reference to any particular
' rt of the shirt, the term should
?er to the entire garment. Many
(ATand medium-gran.* shirts have
ta submitted to a controlled
filtkage process, Mrs. Barnes
nts out. These sr..its are gener-
r cut a little larger than the
mped neck and sleeve size to al-
• for slight additional shrinkage,
sibly two percent. Then after
laundering the shirt men^ure-
its should be the -ame a> the
itped size.
4-H Club Work
Prompts Training
In Agriculture
An answer to the question, "Does
4-H Club work tend to encourage
members to aeek advanced training
in agriculture and home econom-
ics"? has been indicated in a sur-
vey made recently by a research
worker of the Federal Extension
Service. He found that 37.78 per
cent of the students now enrolled
in agriculture and home economics
at the agricultural colleges in the
Central States are former 4-H Club
members.
A similar survey was made for
the school year 1927-28, and com-
parison of those results with the
figures for the school year 1939-40
indicate* a gain of 823 per cent
during the 12-year period. Many of
these students made their first con-
tact with the agricultural college
through their 4-H activities, and it
is also believed that the awarding
of scholarships to 4-H Club mem-
bers has been a factor in encourag-
ing attendance at state colleges of
ugr¡culture.

MAKE MATTRESS
APPLICATIONS NOW
COLLEGE STATION -Eligible
families who haven't yet applied
for mattress making materials un-
der the Department of Agriculture's
program for aiding low-income
farm families should do so soon or
they may lose their pportunity to
participate.
This warning has been sounded
by Mildred Horton, vice director
and state home demonstration
agent of the A. and M. College Ex-
tension Service, who points out that
June 30 is the deadline for order-
ing cotton and ticking for the dem-
onstration program from the Fed-
eral Surplus Commodities Corpora-
tion. That means, then, that all
applications should be filed several
days prior to the deadline date.
Although sufficient cotton and
ticking to make 73,770 mattresses
had been ordered by the state AAA
office through the lsst week in
May, there are still thousands of
eligible families in Texas who have
not y¿t taken advantage of the
plan, Miss Horton expauis. She in-
dicated that in some counties com-
munity canvasses by home demon-
stration club women and other local
means of informing the public
about the program will likely be
employed in the remaining weeks
before the closing date.
Already 14(5 Texas counties have
been approved for participation in
the program, and cotton has been
demonstrator, reports she has com-
pletad her wardrobe. Geraldine had
made the following thing* for her
wardrobe: Hat rack, shoe rack,
apron, slip and will make her dress
in the near future.

has canne the following vegetables:
Twenty quarts' beans, ten quarts'
English peas, five quarts' squash,
and fifteen quarts' beets. She has
her potatoes dug and onions pulied.

One million Texans would have to find other means of
livelihood if the Texas petroleum industry were to shut
down tomorrow.
Steady employment, good working conditions, reason-
able working hours and fair wages are the industry's
responsibilities to its workers and their families—a mil-
lion Texans in all.
It must maintain production, find and develop new
fields, meet competitive markets for its products and
pay iu total expense bill of 750 million dollars a year,
which includes its payrolls.
The Texas petroleum industry now has to pay 97 mil-
lion dollars a year in taxes to Federal, State and local
governments before 't can consider wages and employ-
ment.
When ex/trusa must be cut to satisfy increasing
tax demands, employment suffers, and with it, the
buying power that employment creates in our State.
