Ideal Small House

small dwelling; rooms that are much too small, and an exterior that
looks much too boxy. Both of the :e have been overcome in the house

this country was built are not out of
date. It can then show that the free
enterprise system, which the govern-
ment can regulate but with which it
was never intended to compete by
the founders of our country, can do
infinitely more to raise the standard
of living of a people than any other
system. Lastly, it can prove that a
nation can achieve greatness and

dividual abilities and ambitions of
its people instead of through coer-

Plan Second Garden
Planting Now
The man with the hoe, or the rake,
or the shovel, or a handful of seed
packages is the man that plans io
save on the food bill this spring and
summer. And right now is the time
for this man to make an April check-
up on his garden, says J. F. Ros-
borough, extension horticulturist of
Texas A&M College.
Check-up on the plantings already
in the ground, or that are now com-
ing up: sweet corn, peas, beets, let-
tuce, cabbage, swiss chard, carrots,
spinach and mustard. Make a second
planting of mustard.
It’s just about too late in the south
and south-central parts of the state
to plant cabbage, carrots and english
peas.
Plant both pole and bush. beans,
and don't forget to inoculate with ni-
trogen - fixing bacteria - a dust
powder that can be bought at seed
scores. This gives the beans extra
vigor and growth, and helps to in-
crease yields. Wait until the weather
warms up to plant limas. This bean
is warm natured and “catches cold”
easily.
Yellow crookneck, Acorn and
Fordhook are three good squash va-
rieties to plant, and give a harvest
range of 30 to 60 days. Sow cucum-
ber seed in rows one foot apart, and
when the vines begin to ruii, thin out
to one vine every two feet. Cucum-
bers are good for slicing into salads
or pickling.
Leaf lettuce may he planted now
for late spring and summer produc-
tion, and this is a good time to start
okra if the soil has warmed up pretty
well. Okra takes lots of heat, and
won’t grow untill the sun begins to
bear down. Allow two to three feet
of space between peppers and egg-
plants so they will have lots of
room to grow.
Thin late planted beets to two to
three inches apart, and use the ones
that are taken out to fill in skips to
get a unform stand. Set out toimato
plants at this time, and don’t forget
the cut worm menace that will hit
many of these vegetables, says Ros-
borough. After making this check-up
the spring gardener may take com-
fort in knowing he is off to a good
start for this year’s garden.

Take Hubby Shopping
Advises Designer
Ladies, if you want to dress bet-
ter, take hubby along with you when
you go shopping for that new dress
or vening gown.
That’s the advice of Edith Head,
chief fashion designer for Paramount
Studio, who contends in a May
American magazine article that “one
reason so many women dress badly
is that they don’t listen to their hus-
band’s advice.”
Furthermore, Miss Head believes
husbands should demand that their
wives look almost as well groomed
at breakfast as thel do at a bridge
party. While they don’t need to doll
up in their Sunday best, neverthe-
less she feels that the Mi's. should
wear a becoming house dress and
ta,ke pains not to look like a mess at
the breakfast table. Carelessness
about dress is an easily acquired- hab-
it and the first letdown, says Miss
Head, is like the first shot of dope.
According to her, the secret of bet-
ter dressing for young and old on a
moderate income is planned shopp-
ing. Before a woman buys a dress
she should know exactly where and
when she expects to wear it and
shouldn’t look at anything that
doesn’t fit the need.
The less a woman has to spend,
the more simple should her dresses
be which always can be brightened
with colorful accessories. Any woman
can be well dressed the year 'round,
Mss Head believes, with these three
dresses, plus accessories including a
coat, as a basic wardrobe:
1. A suit or two-piece dress; 2. A
day dress, one or two-piece; 3. An af-
ternoon, dinner, or evening combina-
tion.
“By changing accessories they can
be used for everyday or dress-up in
spring, summer, or fall,” she asserts.
“For winter, warmer accessories will
be used and perhaps a lining for the
long coat.
“Like all other accessories, shoes
should be bought after the dresses
and suit are selected, to be sure they
will match.”
Too many women are afraid of the
word suit, relates Miss Head, who
regards a suit as any ensemble of a
jacket and skirt. For most women
a suit is the most practical and be-
coming costume ever invented, she
feels, and it’s easy to change in ap-
pearance by the addition of sweaters,
blouses and other accessories.
“SAN JACINTO WAS NEVER LIKE THIS.” Santa Anna would prob-
ably say if he could see pretty Jane Browder in the saddle he used at
the famous battle and brandishing the sword he surrendered to Sam
Houston in 1836- jjThe sword and saddle belong to the Sam Houston
Memorial museum at Sam Houston State college in Huntsville. ' Jane
belongs to the college too, but she’s a freshman not a museum piece.
And the occasion?
ASSEMBLY OF GOD CHURCH
A series of revival services are be-
ing held each evening, 7:45, at the
Assembly of God Church. The serv-
ces, conducted by the Rev. R. R.
Bayless ofi Hot Springs, Arkansas,
began Sunday night and will continue
through May 2. A special program
has been planned for Saturday night.
E. R. Sanderson, song leader, will
be assisted by a group of musicians
and singers from the Southwestern
Bible Institute, Waxahachie.
A special invitation is given to
visitors to attend Sunday School at
9:45 a.m. and Sunday morning wor-
ship at 11 o’clock.
