"A living room does not have to
be furnished with expensive furni-
ture to show good taste in what the
home should be,” stated Miss Dalton
Burleson, county home demonstrat-
or, Friday at the Country Neighbors
club which met with Mrs. Lonzy
Clay.
Four questions must be answered
In selecting furnishings for a living
room, she said. First, is it useful?
Second, does It harmonize with the
room? Third, is it worth the time
and money spent for it? And last,
Is It beautiful?
Names were drawn for the year of
secret club friends.
Refreshments were served to Mes-
Hames Thomas Todd, Bert Beten-
bough, Lula Box, Belle Carver, W.
P. Green, Lonzy Clay, Glynn Bell.

St. Louis, allegedly hi-jacked Ross
Stine, Arcadia, Cal., man, between
Lark and Conway last Dec. 9.
LaGrace Monday was assessed a,
penalty of 17 years for robbery with j
firearms In connection with the case.
The St. Louis girl entered a plea
of not guilty but the jury found her
guilty after 50 minutes of delibera-
tion.
Quizzing of witnesses in the case
this afternoon lasted two hours.
Three witnesses were called by the
district attorney, W. L. McConnell.
These were Mr. Stine, Sheriff T. B.
Harris of Carson County, and Tex
Berry, Amarillo officer.
Defense Counsel H. H. Smith,
Panhandle attorney, called Mrs. Mc-
Clure to testify in her behalf.
Age Is Surprise
A surprise came at the opening of
the trial when Smith produced wit-
nesses to show the girl was only 17
years old instead of 18. She gave
her age as 18 when she signed a
statement In Amarillo Dec. 9. Smith
produced an affidavit by the girl’s
mother, Mrs. Ralph McCall, St.
Louts, declaring the girl was born
Dec. 10, 1920.
The girl’s father and an aunt al-
so testified that she was 17 years
old.
Stine was robbed of hLs car and
all but $5 or his money last Dec. 9
near Conway. The car was later
found In Amarillo, and Mrs. Mc-
Clure and Ben LaGrace were ar-
rested In Amarillo two hours after
the robbery.

AUSTIN (UP)—Property can not
be insured completely against loss in
Texas, nor any other state, so far
as Insurance Commissioner Marvin
Hall has been able to ascertain,
He is working now on plans to let
a home owner get a policy cover-
ing all Insurable losses but even
that will not cover everything.
Texas has standard policies under
which insurance may be taken
against loss by Are, storm, cyclone
or hail. If other risks are to be cov-
ered, supplements must be added to
the contracts. Even then there
would be no insurance against loss
by war or flood.
Recently the State Insurance
Commission authorized fire insur-
ance companies to include insurance
against gas explosions by a special
clause in the Are insurance policies.
Previously that was not covered.
Supplemental insurance can be
obtained now against lass by riot,
loss by outbreaks in connection with
a strike, loss by insurrection, by
civil commotion, by aircraft, by a
self-impelled vehicle and by smoke.
War insurance would not be feas-
ible. Hall said. Any company that
wrote it on a large scale would risk
being wiped out In case of war. For
similar reason flood insurance is not
sought by companies. It it were In
effect the flood insurance would be
carried only by a small percentage
of property along streams. That in
high locations would not he in flood
danger. To insure that in flood
paths, alone, would be too danger-
ous.
A large concern carrying lots of
othqr insurance may get flood in-
surance too, as a sort of inducement
to continue its other insurance. The
lone householder cannot get it un-
less the home Is In a location where
it isn’t needed. Automobiles can be
insured against water damage.

Top photo—The 1938 Linooln-Zephyr Sedan with
four doors. Inset—Roomy new driver compartment.
X FRESH approach in the development ot the mod-
ern streamline design is offered in the new 1938
Lincoln-Zephyr V-12 cylinder motor cars. The sedan
with four doors is pictured above. The "tear drop”
front end suggests the highly streamlined front of a
racing plane. The "air stream” treatment is carried
out smartly in the long sweep of the hood, the rakish
tilt of the windshield, the graceful body contours and
the new massive fenders and lamps. Inset, the front
compartment which has been enlarged and the gear-
shifting lever moved out of the way of driver and
front seat passengers. Among the new engineering
features are an Increased wheelbase length, now 125
nches, and the use of hypoid drive in the rear axle.
Che 110 horsepower V-type 12-cylinder engine operates
no re quietly, yields a smoother flow of power and
functions with maximum economy.

RELEASED IN TEXAS
ANY LOG-ROLLERS?
CCC Foreman: "See here, buddy,
that other fellow Ls carrying two
logs when you’re moving only one.
What’s the matter with you?”
Buddy: “That fellow’s too lazy to
go twice.”
COLLEGE STATION (UP) — A
wee native of India, the Chukar
partridge, will provide sport for
Texas hunters in years to come.
The poultry husbandry depart-
ment at Texas A. and M. college
has released several of the birds in
protected hilly areas of the state in
order that they may propagate and
establish themselves as Texas game.
The volume of refined products
now equal within a fraction of one
per cent the volume of crude oil
run to the stills.
