Make Carfeul Choice Of Clothing:
Travel Light9 This Summer
STILLWATER, Okla. — Careful
choice of clothes for summer vaca-
tioning will make it possible to trav-
el light, yet have everything needed,
according to Miss Blanche Cade, of
the School of Home Economics at
Oklahoma A. and M. College.
“The old adage of ‘a place for
everything and everything in its
place’ is never more true than in
packing for traveling,” Miss Cade
said. “In selecting luggage, it is
more satisfactory to plan to have
small pieces which will hold the
items necessary for an overnight
stop separate from the larger cases
for longer stops. If this is done, it
is not necessary to unpack com-
pletely each night.”
In deciding what to take along on
a trip, aim for a minimum. Proper
colthes and toilpt articles for each
occasion must be included, but these
may be interchanged to lessen the
actual number of separate garments
required.
The perfect travel clothes, how-
ever, are not only adaptable for
varied occasion, but they are chos-
en also for their “packability.” Ma-
terials which are crush-resistant
and which will “hang-out” their
wrinkles in a few hours are worth
the luggage space they take, but
dressfes which must be pressed be-
fore every wearing will spend their
vacation in the suitcase.
Turbans Recommended
In choosing headgear for a sum-
mer trip, packable, nonblowable
styles will be more satisfactory.
Especially practical are the wrap-
around turbans which pack flat
and are wound around the head.
A suit and topcoat with plenty of
blouses is a travel uniform which
is suitable for most trips. Dresses
that pass for suits are one of the
newer ideas which are being worn
more and more for vacationing.
English flannels, Scotch tweeds,
and woolens are all good for travel-
ing suits, while twill rayons and
laces are particularly practical for
travel dresses. Cotton seersucker
suits are gaining in popularity,
especially for automobile trips, Miss
Cade said.
White, which is so good this year,
is not practical for the hard wear
of traveling but it may be used to
good advantage with black. No color
is smarter than classic black for
traveling purposes. Prints are also
useful, and one of the newest is
the checkered material inspired by
the traveler’s cheques.
"Cold cream cloths, eaoh sealed
separately in a moisture-proof foil,
are a pleasant thought for travel-
ing,” Miss Cade concluded. "If sev-
eral are kept in the pocketbook, J
facials become possible at any odd
moment along the way. Nice as it is
just to travel, it is even nicer to
travel beautifully.”
Mrs. R. C. Lewis won high score
award and Mrs. Earl Kromer, low.
Attending were Mesdames E. K.
Caperton, Percy Bones, S. Q. Scott,
Kromer, Lewis and W. H. Walker,
members; Mrs. Ted Rogers and Mrs.
Walter Darlington, guests.

ARMY OFFERS MANY
OPPORTUNITIES FOR
YOUNG MEN OF NATION
Corporal Harvey M. Geist, U. S.
Army Recruiting Representative at
Pampa, Texas, is giving the Army
Classification Test to boys between
the ages of 18 and 35 who wish to
get in the Army Air Corps and have
less than a high school education to
determine their eligibility for en-
listment in that particular branch
of service.
There are many vocational trades
for the Air Corps Soldier to learn
for example Sheet Metal Workers,
Mechanics, Aircraft Machinists,
Welders, Radio Opperators. Radio
Technicians, Cooks, Clerks, etc.
Corporal Gist urges young men
who have less than high school edu-
cation, and want to get in the Army
Air Corps to come to his office in
the Post Office Building at Pampa,
Texas and take this test. If you have
as much as an 8th grade education
you should be able to pass this test.
Young men who pass the test and
are accepted for enlistment will be
given their choice of March Field,
California or Kelly Field, Texas and

Since last week’s issue of “Look” magazine were limited, we herewith
present a picture of Miss Ruth Tilley who was selected by New York
artists as one of the loveliest co-eds in the U. S„ and that’s covering a
lot of territory. Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harris Tilley of this city,
Ruth was a student at Texas State College For Women, Denton, this
term and won a number of honors in the field of feminine charm.
Ruth has managed to maintain her usual unaffected charm and is a
great deal more excited over a whole summer of vacation than being a
college beauty.

U. S. Patent No. 2,218,132 tells exactly
what is new about the new Conoco

CONOCO N& MOTOR OIL
5 quarts of this same new Conoco N<A
oil that you can buy today, lasted
13,398.8 miles in a stock coupe—under
lock and under scrutiny every minute.
13,398 miles up and down Death
Valley. Sand and sagebrush. Lowest

our U. S. A.
5 other well known oils got the same
chance as new Conoco Nth oil. 6 iden-

pressures, speeds, and all other factors
were the same for all—impartially. En-

Now an inhibition is something that
restrains you — checks you. Thialkene
inhibitor checks the effect of poisons
formed in normal engine operation.
Instead of "festering,” weakening, and
passing out, this oil is scientifically
prepared to keep its health, so that the
engine can do the same—a good way
to keep up the oil-level.
OIL-PLATING, too! Long the keystone
of Conoco success, oil-placing comes
from another Conoco synthetic... (U.S.
Patent 1,944,941). Magnet-like action
bonds oil-plating to engine parts, so
it can’t all drain down—not even over-
night. While you use Conoco Nth oil,
this oil-plating stays on guard against
wear in advance! By oil-plating the
engine and inhibiting the worst effect
of oil pollution, one fill of new Conoco
N(A lasted 13,398 miles. Certified.
You’ll not put your car through such a
third-degree—any more than you keep

could. You’ll certainly never want to

The test was simple and stern...Each
car got its 5-quart fill of some one com-
