pal Milligan of Benavides High
School came over in one of the Ben-
avides school busses and brought
their debating teams, both boys and
girls. Also their extemporaneous
speakers. The girls debating team of
Hebbronville composed of Billie Da-
vid and Lenny Goodwyn defended the
negative and the Benavides girls
Josie Redner and Evelyn Pye, argued
the affirmative of the question “Re-
solve: That Texas should adopt the
Unicameral or One-house System of
Legislature". Their arguments were
veil presented and their discussion <
quite spirited.
At the conclusion of their debate
the boys then took the platform hhd
the Hebbronville team Composed of
John Shottlesworth and Laiiro Gu-
tierrez argued the affirmative and
the Benavides team of Bob Brown
and Ralph McCoy defended the ne-
gative. The boys had their speeches
well prepared and their rebutal ar-
guments were well developed. All
four teams showed the results of lots
of hard w’ork.

bronville and has been directed by

The order of the Knight of St.
Olaf, the highest decoration in Nor-
way, has recently been bestowe 1
upon Mrs. Betzy Kjelsberg, who for
twenty-six years was chief woman
factory inspector for her govern-
ment. She has been created a knight
because of her success in bringing
labor and industry to see eye to eye.
Mrs. Kjelsberg, who is living in
the United States, has been a mem-
ber of the board of the Norwegian
National Council of Women since
1904 and president of the organiza-
tion since 1922. She has been vice-
president of the International Coun-
cil since 1924 and was one of tho
Norwegian delegates to the first In-
ternational Labor Conference in
Washington in 1919 and has been a
member or president of the Nor-
wegian delegation to conferences >n
Geneva.

One of two New York women
ever to receive the rare papal honor
of the gold medal is Mrs. Sarah J.
Collier, widow of the editor of “Col-
lier’s Weekly.” Pope Pius XI
granted her the medal “as a mark
of esteem and gratitude for her ac-
tivities on behalf of the Catholic
Church.” Mrs. Collier has been par-
ticularly interested in the missions
and has done much for the Catholic
Near East W'elfare Association. The
medal is in the form of a four-armed
cross with the head of Pope Leo on
the face and tne coat of arms of the
Holy see on the reverse. It is one
of the highest awards to women
granted by the Papacy.

I am constantly being surprised at
the ingenuity, and in fact genius,
of women in expressing their tastes
in the field of art. What impresses
me just now is the collection of
compositions in shells recently dis-
played for the first time in this
country by the Comptesse de la Mo-
riniere of Paris. She collects shells
from all parts of the world, Cali-
fornia, China, Australia, Mozam-
bique, India, and Zanzibar, and ar-
ranges them in groups, or art com-
positions, each of which is signed.
The shells are mounted in a special
clay and the Comptease never dup-
licates one of her art creations.

I was playing bridge once with
Mrs. Wind Jammer, I was the
dummy and as she played AT the
hand and talk about Junior, she
automatically fixt it so she could
not get back to her good spades on
the board. I suggested (I wouldl
that had she left the hi-trump on
the board, — &*$*%, but thais as
far as 1 ever got,— in other words,
I was fixing to make a forward
pass and she smeared me behind the
line of scrimmage,—I lost the fol-
lowing; towit; 2,000 points, two-bits
her temper, and my health has been
threatened ever since, I felt like the
Chinese end of the Jap-Chink un-
declared war.

I see where F.D. is going to probe
the HCL (hi-costo-livin). Thats just
about as sensible to your Uncle Ful-
ler as a kid sticking his hand in thj
fire and then wondering why it got
burnt. With the farmer plowing up
his crops and getting paid for it, and
the ranchman shooting the cows and
getting paid for it and Congress
shooting off his head and getting
paid for it, I can’t see why there
should be any probing, thats already
about as plain as the nose on an ele-
phants face to poppa.

I am all washed up about the Duke
and Wally not coming to see us, I
was plannin on getting up a big
bunch of us boys and girls and hav-
ing a big shivaree (also spelled chari-
vari, and also misspelled many ways,
this is a latin word meaning shivar°e
or charivari) I’d like to shower them
with wild rice (not wild oats) and
watch his royal majesty duck. They
have been in the public eye so long
they are about to cause granulated
lids. I guess Wally will come out
openly, if they happen to need some
pocket change, and recommend Luc-
kies or something and the Duke will
tell how sal hipatica has made him
what he never believed he could be
made. I’ll be glad when I get impor-
tant enough to recommend things
and have my mug in a colored ad
My present plan is to recommend
anything there is any money in. For
example if Henry will give me a Ford
or the General will give me a Chewy,
I’ll blow about the economy and com-
fort of it but if Walter will raise the
ante with a Chrysler, I’ll re-inf late*
and tell the world, (if they’ll pay for
it) there was never such a creation
of beauty and endurance since Ner >
burnt Rome, and the gas saved would
float a battle ship (toy), and it will
do 150 without effort (on a kilo-
meter speedometer). Boys, I’d give
em ideas that had never been even
suspected before, if they’ll just pad
the palm enough.

Did you see where the banker H>.
N. Trest needed a blood transmusion
and the only thing that they could
find that would match his blood was
ice water. And the Drs. called up a
man and said they were having a
hard time getting blood to match his
mother-in-laws blood, in a blood tran
fusion, and he asked them if they
had tried tigers blood.

huge plant in Lansing, Mich., to the
end that Oldsmobile is capable of

a pace more than three times as fast
