Advertising Of
Texas Favored
Senate Joint Resolution 13,
setting aside funds to advertise
on a national scale Texas re-
sources and opportunities for
agricultural and industrial
growth, yesterday received the
commendation of the West
Texas Chamber of Commerce.
In a letter to directors and
local Chamber of Commerce
secretaries, Van Zandt Jarvis,
president of the W. T. C. C., and
D. A. Bandeen, manager, urged
its support.
The resolution was conceived
by Lieutenant Governor Woodul.
As approved by the Senate, it
called for $1,000,000 annually
for six years. The House Com-
mittee on Constitutional
Amendments scaled down the
s'ame to $600,000 yearly and
recommended passage.
The House expects ito vote on
the proposal late this week.
If approved, and signed by
Governor Allred, the resolu-
tion must be voted on by the
electorate before it becomes
effective.
In urging that its (members
wire their representatives at
Austin urging support, the W. T.
C. C. letter pointed out:
"Our organization for some
time has advocated nationally
advertising the resources and
opportunities of Texas* as a
means of stimulating our agri-
cultural and industrial growth.
Other States, notably California
and Florida, have secured out-
standing benefits from such
advertising."

NEILL'S STYLE
SHOP
MINEOLA, TEXAS
Now is the time for all good
women to figure out their
hairdresses for the rest of the
storing amd summer. Most of
the new ha.ts are designed to
expose the coiffure, so one must
be sufre tt> have something
worth exposing.
Va,rietyis at present in hair
styles as in hats, with longer
bobs, almost shoulder length,
definitely coming in again. The
"flat on top" styles are most
favored except for formal wear,
v/hen small bunches of curls1
can be perched around the
crown of one's head. Unless a
natural curl is present, the
foundation of a permanent is
necessary /for every fashion.
For the pill-box or shallow
basket hats', try the new page-
boy coiffure, with some medi-
eval picture contributed to the
modern scene. The hair hangs
Straight to the nape of the
neck, where it turns under
in a thick roll. Straight bangs
are effective with ths style
if one can manage tlhem with-
out loss of dignity.
Large soft waves' on each
side of the face are best with
profile hats, and for the round-
ed brims thick curls which lap
over them give a polished,
completed appearance.
General rules which will keep
one on tlhe right path are:
firat, those fortunates with
perfect features can wear
sculptured . curls with the sides
swept backward and upward;
second, tall, slender-'faced (peo-
ple usually find bangs be-
coming; and third, hair-dress-
ing isj a necessary preliminary
to hat-shopping, because now
more than ever before your hat
and hair must compliment each
other, thus doubly compli-
menting you.

40-Mile Highway Is
Really Gold-Studded
—$12,000 Per Mile!
Talk about gold-studded stuff,
Colorado has1 a 40-mile high-
way that's actually peppered
with the precious yellow metal—
$12,000 worth per mile!
Carveth Wells will tell all
about this "road of gold" in
the Continental Oil Company
broadcast, "Exploring America
with Conoco and Carveth
Wells," which may be heard
at 6:30 p. m. Saturday over
radio station WFAA, Dallas. The
travel program will be devoted
to the Pike's Peak region of
Colorado.
Going back to the days of'59
when thousands' of people from
all sections of the country set
out for Colorado in their Pike's
Peak or Bust covered wagons,
the popular explorer-reporter
will show how the finding of
gold led to the discovery of
much greater wealth—colorful
scenery and a health-giving
climate. "The Pike's Peak re-
gion is like an enormous scenic
exposition," he says, "and an
excellent system of scenic high-
ways has been constructed sole-
ly for the purpose of enabling
motorists to enjoy it."
Featured on the program will
be Wells' picturesque descrip-
tion of America's most famibus
mountain. "No matter how you
reach the top of Pike's Peak,
get there somehow," he ad-
vises, "for the experience of
being 14,110 feet above the sea
is something you'll never for-
get."

congress Penalizes
States Thai Misuse
Highway Incomes
Under the title or "Legisla-
tion and the Highways," Char-
les E. Simons comments vig-
orously in the April is'jue of
Texas on Parade, official organ
of the Texas Good Roads Asso-
ciation and the Texas Highway
Department.
"Recent pronouncements of
the federal government with
reference to the use of high-
way funds should be considered
and given weight in legislative
deliberations involving the
funds now allocated by law to
the construction and mainten-
ance of state highways. The
federal government has shown
that it will exercise little pa-
tience with those states that
continue to misuse the funds
collected from the motoring
public and .permit their diver-
sion to non-highway purposes.
"The federal Congress, -faced
by a rising tide of diversion of
highway construction and
maintenance income, inserted
in the bill appropriating fed-
eral aid highway funds a'
strong provision to the effect
that states misusing their
highway income would be pen-
alized." The penalty, says Mr.
Simons, will be one-third of
the federal aid allotted the
offending state.
"Federal aid," Mr. Simons
continues, "has provided the
bulk of the highway money
exipended in Texas the last
several years. Without it the
state highway system and the
many secondary roads would be
far from their present state of
completion. With its highway
system by no means complete,
it certainly would be wise if
were carefully investigated be-
fore any appropriation is made
from the state highway fund
for any purpose."
Mr. Simons calls attention to
the fact that the amount of
federal aid money available to
Texas for 1937, including the
first regular appropriation for
secondary roads, is $9,549,132,
and a penalty of one-third
this amount would be $3,183,-
044. This would be money that
would be lost to Texas labor
and Texas projects.
"Regardless of the merits of
the objectives for which it is
proposed to appropriate high-
way funds," says Mr. Simons,
"be it badly needed increase in
personnel of the Highway Pa-
trol, or in the extension of
some other phase of activitiy,
either closely or rembtely re-
lated to the highway con-
struction and maintenance pro-
gram, care should be taken
and investigations made to
make definite and certain that
the progress of Texas is mak-
ing in road construction, in
providing imjprovements vital to
the welfare of the bulk of
its citizenship, in making
available honest worthwhile
projects on which Texas labor
is employed, is not disrupted."
