Ma,
'HOUSTON (UP) — "Hey,
iy’re making eyes at me!’’
Two pretty girl, carhops did the
accusing, not to their maternal par-
ents, but to police and as a result
two boys, 17 and 20 reposed for some
hours in city jail.
Blonde Faye Pettit and auburn-
haired Margaret Brown, both uni-
formed carhops at a Houston drive-
in, both pretty and both indignant,
complained to police shortly after
midnight the other morning that
<mo youths were “making goo-goo
eyes at us.”
Police, rushing to the rescue of
the lassies, laid a trap. The girls in
their own car drove slowly home, the
police behind. Two youths re-ap-
peared in another car. were prompt-
ly placed in the lockup.
They were charged with violating
Section 1606, a city ordinance de-
vised just for such cases:
"That they did then and there
unlawfully stare at and make what
is commonly called goo-goo eyes at
and cough and whistle at and do
other acts and things, against the
peace and dignity of the state.”
Officer C. M. Robertson, who
made the arrests, said after the
girls left the police station he and
officer V. H. Knox followed.
“We saw a car with two boys in
it speed by the girls’ car. The boys
kept darting their car at the girls'
car, sort of swooping at it and then
veering off. At Polk and Fannin
they tried to curb the girls’ car. We
curbed them.”
The boys, jailed, were bitter. It
was all the girls’ fault, they said.

Cardinal Wolsey built and later

Texas was in 1866 near Oil Spring

"Buying or building a home re-
quires the use of a sound judgment,”
said Miss Lucile Chance, county
home demonstration agent, in a talk
on “House Planning” to members of
the Kellerville Home Demonstration
club which met last Thursday in the
home of Mrs. W. S. Marshall.
“It involves not only carrying on
of transportation, of finance, and
buying or building, but it involves
the proper determination of loca-
tion with respect to school, to work
and to neighbors.”
Refreshments were served to Miss
Chance, Mesdames G. F. Johnson,
F. B. Smith, Royce Quarles, E. D.
Morris, A. L. Farren, W. Farren and
the hostess.

“Know your neighbors” was the
subject discussed by members of
the Magic City Home Demonstration
club which met last Friday after-
noon, Feb. 9, in the home of Mrs.
Herbert Thomas.
"Although we are most interested
in our own country, a better under-
standing of people of other nations
would help to encourage peace,”
said Mrs. C. A. Hodges in a discus-
sion on the program subject.
Mrs. T. C. Harless was elected
demonstrator for repair of the
house and Mrs. Hodges, clothing
demonstrator.
Refreshments were served to Mes-
dames Hillon Braly, George Cordell,
E. D. Thompson, Bill Critser, T. C.
Harless, C. Hockett and the hostess.
“Since the living room is the prin-
cipal recreational unit of the home,
it must provide a setting for the
usual recreation for the family
group,” said Miss Lucile Chance,
county home demonstration agent,
to members of the Magic City Home
Demonstration club which met last
Friday in the home of Mrs. T. C.
Harless.
First, there must be provisions for
seating a conversational group, a
fireplace makes an ideal center.
There must be a corner or comers
to which one may repair to enjoy a
good book. There must be a place,
preferably removed from the con-
versational center, where one may
write and a provision for the en-
joyment of music, were points
stressed by Miss Chance in her
"Home-Building” talk.
Location for a seed and cutting
bed demonstration was made. Those
present were Mesdames E. D.
Thompson, Dennis O’Gorman, Hil-
lon Braly, C. A. Hodges, Miss Opal
Duncan and Miss Chance.

AUTOMOBILE engineers talk a lot
about car weight — and with
good reason.
They know that riding qualities begin
with enough road weight to hold you
steady on your course—they know
that weight is often another measure
of size — above all, they know that
weight means substance, strength,
durability
So it’s interesting to note
that this trim Buick SPECIAL
gives you more weight Per
dollar than almost any
other car you can buy.
With all its husky straight-
eight power—power that’s
like velvet because en-
gines are balanced after
assembly — with all its
room, and style, and com-
fort — this Buick still has
