Texans, almost a thousand of them,
many in big white ten gallon hats

ami cowboy boots, provided color on
Texas Day’ recently at the New Or-
leans races. The Texas horses (there
were three events exclusively for
them) and the Texas folks were the
magnets that drew the biggest crowd
of the Crescent City racing season
and one of the largest throngs in the
history of the track.
So anxious were the Lone Star
thoroughbred breeders to race their
2-year olds, that the entries were so
numerous the Lone Star Stakes was
run in two divisions—the second
time in the annals of the American
turf that a race for ’babies' has been
divided. Sylvester I<«hrot. chairman
of ihe Fair Grounds, had originally
offered a purse of $1,500 and. when
the event was made a double-header,
he generously doubled the prize.
There was a cowboy hand in big
hats and bright bandanas and. as
the horses were parading to the post
for the Sam Houston handicap, the
tunc was "Beautiful, Beautiful Tex-
as." After Potranco had borne the
colors of the Bluebird Stock Farm
of Dallas to victory. Jockey Madden
carried the beautiful wreath over and
placed it on the grave of Pan Zareta.
Sweetwater ntare. world’s record-
holder for five-eights of a mile, the
band playing "The Eyes of Texas'
meanwhile,
Joe Welkin had all his concession
force wearing Texas regalia at the
hot dog stand and “One-Eyed" Con-
nally. worlds greatest gate crasher,
wore i Texas badge. Ward Holman
Sao Saba, was there, having left
his ranch at noon the day before,
drivft c to San Antonio, boarding a
train and arriving at 7 a.m. Watt Rey-
nolds of Fort Worth who—with his
brothers—owns oue of the few herd
of buffalo left, attended. So did Jno.
L. Sullivan and Ralph Fair of San
Antonio: George McCamey, Fort
Worth oil man, and E. F. Woodward
master of Valdina Farms, who saw
a victory for his great appearing im-
ported Hollywood, a hope for the
Kentucky Derby.
Then that night the Lone Star
racing fans filled the Blue Room at
the Roosevelt for a dinner, with the
handsome trophies, (donated by the
Thoroughbred Horse Association of
Texas and by others i being awarded
to the winning owners. And the oc-
casion ended with the invitation of
Ed Brennan. Ffoir Grounds director,
Lobrot and others. "Come back next
year for another Texas day" and a
unanimous chorous of "We will."
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE RICH to help American Defense. That’s the theme of the above poster,
one of the newest of the Defense Savings promotional pieces now going up in streetcars, on bulletin
boards, and at other public places. This poster emphasizes the point advanced by the Treasury Depart-
ment that every American can—and must—pitch in if the United States is to have the arms and the
tools necessary to protect her freedom.
Historian W. T. Parley nominates

partment :

CHILDREN AND WAR
College Station:— In defense to
the coming generation, adults should
keep their conversation about war
calm and assuring, for undue alarm
and pessimism may do much to harm
the children in the household.
That’s the warning from Dosca
Hale. Extension Service specialist in
parent education and child develop-
ment, who says calm courage in
adults will save children from much
fear and worry.
“In these perilous times one of the
greatest hazards we face is the threat
to family life,” the specialist says.
"So time spent in learning to under-
stand the needs of children under
rapidly shifting conditions is time
well invested for the protection of
our homes and the future security
of this nation."
She points out that adults are be-
ing called on to spend more and more
time outside the home on defense
jobs, and to meet this situation chil-
dren should be shown that if they
take on more home responsibilities
they are helping in the defense pro-
gram. There are many other ways in
which small children may help. For
example, they can save waste paper
and help get it delivered to the prop-
er authorities. They can help to save
light and heat by turning off unnec-
essary lights and stoves and by ren-
minding others to do so.
Most important of all is the feeling
this work gives the child—the feel-
ing that h(> is needed and that he.
alone with all the other people around
him. is doing his bit in the great Vic-
tory program, the specialist explains.
SAVE YOUR LEATHER SHOES
College Station:—With tills nation
rolling up its sleeves for a victory
effort, clothing must last as well as
tires ai d the automobiles. That goes
for shoes, too, and the way to give
shoes a long life is to polish them.
Polishing shoes feeds the leather,
make it pliable, and protects it.
Many shoes come to an early end
because they get wet and aren't
properly dried, says Mrs. Dora R.
Barnes, clothing specilist for the A.
and M. College Extension service.
Shoes should be dried slowly, never
In a hot place like an oven, or in
front of an open fire.
This is the right way to dry shoes
—first, wash off all mud with a damp
cloth and wipe the surface as dry as
poflsilfle. Oil the shoes lightly all
over with castor oil. Rub it in well.
Then stuff the shoes with crumpled
paper or with oats to help keep their
shape and absorb moisture. Set the
shoes in a moderately warm place
for several hours or overnight. Poli i
them when they are dry.
Waterproofing helps protect shoes,
but it does not take* the place oi
overshoes or rubber boots for walk-
ing in water, slushy scow, or soit
mud. Here is a good mixture fo* wa-
terproofing: 8 ounces of natural
wool grease, 4 ounces of dark pet’ol-
eum jelly or vaseline, anil 4 ounces
of paraffin wax. Melt all th’-ee ingre-
dients in a shallow rectangular pan
such as a bread tin. as large as t u
role of the shoe. Let the shoe stand
about !5 minutes n enough of this
waterproofing mixture to cover '!>•■
