AUSTIN.—A new type of high-
way sign, an advisory speed sign
designed t» aid in traffic safety,
will soon make its appearance on
Texas main highways. Part of the
Texas highway department's pro-
gram of speed zoning, the new
sign will advice motorists of the
maximum safe and comfortable

are not considered safe to trasel

The see-saw civil war in China
appears once again to have tipped
in favor of the communists, and
two top-ranking nationalist offi

Chinese reds.
The two men are General Chi-
C.hung, supreme military and po-
litical commander of northwestern
China—and Li-Tze, a member of
the all-powerful executive commit-
tee of the government purty. It is
understood that these officials
want an armistice because they see
no chance for getting immediate
American aid, and because they
feel that the nationalists must
have this help quickly to wire the

It’s the Woman Who
Knows the Family
Car, It Is Revealed
Tradition has it that women are
supposed to be pretty poor auto
pushers. But apparently that has
nothing to do with who buys the
family car.
The ‘Tittle woman” takes care
of it.
That interesting tid-bit of in-
formation comes from George
Walker, a top-flight automobile
designer. He says:
"The old man, who doesn’t know
the air cleaner from the distribu-
tor, puts on a great show of self-
importance . , . but the real pur-
chaser is the wife.”
Walker says the biggest change
to come in car design is in interior
appointments. Quick-change uphol
stery and softer color shades that
are more appealing to the femi-
nine eye will hit the market soon.

er they are canned, frozen or in
the shell, pecans go nicely with
cold evenings by the fireside. And,

Waiting too long before putting
them away might give the pecans
a chance to get rancid. So, for best
results, store them before January.
Preahly shelled pecans may be
packaged in cellophane bags, tin
cans, freezer jars, or heavily wax-
ed cartons. Seal the container and
store at 0 degrees F. in a home
freezer or a commercial locked.
No heating is necessary when
freezing pecans.
if you’re canning pecans, they
should be shelled, sorted, and
cleaned of all the little bits of
shell. Put pecans in a slow oven
for a pre-heating treatment, but
make sure they don’t scorch. When
done, pack the pecans to within
an inch of the top of hot, dry jars,
and drop in a piece of crumpled
parchment paper to absorb the
moisture

Dr. Geo. W. Cox, state health
officer, has issued a warning in
this respect, emphasizing that it is
never safe to sleep in a tightly
closed room with a gas fire burn-

AUSTIN, Tex.—The seventieth
annual convention of the Texas
State Teachers Association in Dal-

next legislature in an effort to
help improve the educational stan-
dard? in Texas schools. They in-
