NEW RETAIL SERVICE
PRICE ORDERS DUE
Washington, June 22.—The Office
of Price Administration wil! issue
shortly a complete new price ceiling
regulation. effective July !, for "re-
tail services," including dry cleaning,
shoe repair, laundry, tailoring, auto
repair and garage service.
The universal price order, as
oiginally announced in April, covered
both goods and services and was made
effective for services on July 1 but
price officials have arrived at the
conclusion, it was learned Alondiy,
that separate treatment for the ser-
vice industries was desirable.
OPA officials declined to disclom
details of the pending order but Mid
that, in general, prices would be based
on the March, 1942, levels prescribed
by the universal price order. The new
regulation is expected this week.
Professional services such as th^e
of doctors, dentists and lawyers, art-
exempted from price control by ihe
general price regulation. So also ait
' personal services not connected with
I commodities, such as barber and
{beauty shops.
The density of Texas' population in
1940 was 24.4 per square mile, only
a little more than half the density of
the population of the United States.
There is little accounting for taste,
but we would not like to make our
money as a snake dancer.

TEXAS
Texas occupies all of the North
American continent except the small
part set aside for Canada. Mexico ano
the rest of the United States.
The chief pursusit of Texar.s used
to be Indians. That was back when
Ttxas was so wild that not even the
law cf gravitation was obeyed.
Texans are so proud of their State
that they can't sleep at night. !f a
Texans' head was opened, you would
iind a map of the Lone Star State
printed on his brain.
Texas owns the north bar.k of tr.e
Rio Grande—the only rtver in the
world navigable for pedestrians.
Texas is so huge that if you used
the northern line of the Panhandle
for a hinge, you'd place Brownsville
so close to the Arctic Circle that the
hot tamale vendors would be able to
swap their wares with the Eskimos
for polar bear steaks.
Texas is so titanic that it is boundeo
on the north by the Aurora Boreal:?,
on the south by the invisible lines of
equinox, on the east bv primeval
chaos and on the west by Judgment
Day.
If all the muies in Texas could be
made into one mule, he could kick the
"man" out of the moon. If all the
bales of cotton produced in Texr^
were made into one stack, you would
have a stairway reaching to the
pearly gates. If all the hogs in Texas
could be made into one hog, he could
dig the Penama Canal at a single
root of his mighty snoot.
And if all the steers in Texas could
be made into one steer, he could stand
with his front feet in the Gulf of
Mexico, one hind leg in Lake Mich-
igan and the other in Hudson's Bay
and, with his tail, brush the Northern
Lights out of the Alaskan skies.—
