Only through organization are modem electrical

together in laboratories to perfect them; men co-
operate in factories to produce them; men join
hands in distributing systems to deliver equip-

Whether your electrical need concerns a home

fill it promptly and satisfactorily where you see

The greatest determining factor
of a beautiful mouth is your smile.
A very wise and very kind man once
said that “When the first baby
smiled for the first time, it broke in-
to a million pieces—and that was
the beginning of fairies.”
I can think of nothing more
charming and nothing more log-
ical, for the sweetness, the gentle-
ness the sheer beauty of a smile can-
not help but be the basis of all love-
ly things.
To be very scientific about it, let
me tell you that Science claims—
with solid proofs to substantiate the
statement—that even the expres-
sion of your eyes is determined by
your mouth.
The eyes themselves, they say,
are no more than reflectors—the
“expression,” as we call it, being
caused by the muscles of eyelids and
eye area which in turn depend upon
the mouth muscles for their cue. In
fact, so important are these unheed-
ed muscles of your mouth that they
set in motion muscles as far remov-
ed as the skull, above, and the col-
lar bone below!
We, judging only from exteriors,
know that the mouth is the key to
Mrs. W. D. Arnwine and her
daughter. Geraldine have been quite
ill for the past several days with an
attack of measles.

honor guests and Civic club were
invited to a “Tea” at the home of
Mrs. H. R. Bennett, library com-
mittee chairman, who has done so
much toward making our public
library a success.
A. A. Gunn Jr., and Oscar Arm-
strong of Galveston were visitors
here Saturday.
Mrs. B. A. Hudson came home
from the John Sealy Hospital
Thursday where she was operated
on for appendicitis last Tuesday.
She is now well on the road to re-
covery.
Mr. and Mrs. Parker Presley and
Nelson Greer of Houston spent

room with 12 members present. At

will be framed and hung for the
next meeting. An invitation was
extended through Mrs. Kirby to the
local chapter by the Houston chap-
ter to attend the yearly banquet at
the Warwick hotel, Houston, April
30.
Nearly all members present
thought it likely they might attend.
This date conflicted with the extra
lesson for the month, so it was de-
cided to combine American Art
with American Art centers and
Mural Paintings, which will be the
last lesson for the year, on May 28.
Mrs. Vincent Grainger was lead-
er of the lesson on English Art and
Artists and some said it was the
most interesting lesson of the year.
All those assigned text reports were
present for the first time. It was
also the first time the program
chairman did not appear on the
program, always before having to
substitute for some absentee.
Mrs. R. M. Orth gave the Pre-
paratory Reading: “The Beauty of
Life.” Mrs. J. Ward LeGendre gave
the first text report: Hogarth; Mrs.
H. M. Strong, the second, Reynolds;
Mrs. W. H. Kirby, third, Gainsbor-
ough; Mrs. Don Davison, fourth.

The Pre-Raphaelites.

leries, will be led by Mrs. R. M.
Orth and the Preparatory Reading

Miss May Christopher and Char-
lie Smith of Galveston visited

“Hulda of Holland,” a three-act
musical comedy of the highest class,
will be given on May 10. This is
under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Legion Auxiliary. Mesdames
W. H. Kirby and H. R. Bennett are
the committee in charge. They
have secured the valuable service
of Miss Dorothy Brown of Galves-
ton to direct the dancing parts.
There are about 35 members in the
cast of the best talent of Texas
City. Mrs. Elmer Sieber of Hous-
ton and E. J. Katzmark of Texas
City have the leading parts.
Progress of Oil Conservation
Atthe present time the oil indus-
try is serving the nation better than
eVer before. Thousands of filling
stations are providing the American
mbtorists with millions of gallons
of high grade oil products at a low
price. It is a public necessity that
this service be continued.
Production has exceeded con-
sumption for many years. At the
end of last year there was an ex-
cess oil supply of 485,000,000 barrels.
Over-production must inevitably
result in waste.
he major and responsible oil
producers have accepted the doc-
trine of conservation through co-
operative development of pools, that
supply and demand may be equal-
ized. Progress in this movement has
been slow but there are hopeful
signs for thef uture.
The American Petroleum Insti-
tute has appointed four regional
committees to study and report on
the problem. The American Bar
Association has recommended law's
to allow and enforce co-operative
drilling along sound economic lines.
The Federal Oil Conservation Board
advocates similar action.
We cannot afford to allow our
natural resources to be depleted
by those interested only in produc-
ing as muh oil as posible and then
selling it and moving on, looking
for new fields to conquer. What we
need is an. adequate, stable supply
at-a fair price. Waste must be out-
lawed.

“Political propaganda against
electric power and light interest
does not have much to feed on
when the industry can point to
constant lowering of service rates
to consumers. In the past six or
seven years rate cuts in the United
States by electric companies have
totaled more than $500,000,000.
Electric service is one of the very
few items in the cost of living that
is lower than it was before the
war.”
Miss Meryl Maley spent the
week-end in Galveston a guest of
Miss Mary Christopher.
The electricity utility industry of
the United States, far from having
reached its apex, is facing a future
of broader and more useful expan-
sion, according to Roger Babson,
distinguished economist.
“There remains a great potential
market in the electrification of
farms and use of electricity in in-
dustry is making great strides,” Mr.
Babson says.
‘Electric power is now readily
available in outlying localities, mak-
ing possible the establishment of
industries in country districts where
living conditions are more attrac-
tive. Three-fourths of all the pow-
er in industry is electric and about
60 per cent of this is furnished by
central stations. At the present
rate of motorization of factories,
this proportion will be markedly in-
creased in the next 10 years. The
more general use of electric devices
andi labor-saving appliances con-
tinues to grow.
The most important thing neces-
sary to the future success of the
electric light and power industry,
and for all other public utilities, is
a friendly attitude on the part of
the public. The physical equipment
and the potential market for its
services, great as they are, would
be of little avail if the public were

all facial expressions. We know
that the good looking woman guards
her mouth against the ageing droop
which disfigures not her mouth
alone, but her whole face as well.
We know from countless authorities
and from wide observation that
there is no face lifter so potent as
a smile—and STILL we don’t smile
—not half enough!
A smile tones tired muscles. It
catches them when they are droop-
ing downward, and turns them
about again, neutralizing bad ef-
•fects, encouraging and cultivating
good ones. It stimulates those
same muscles forces them into ac-
tion, and through this alone pre-
serves the beauty and youth of
healthy animated tissues.
Of course, if your muscles have
lost their vitality, if the tissues are
undernourished, wrinkled, perman-
ently drooping, you need scientific
corrective treatment. You need
massage treatments to lightly coax
and muscles upward again, and you
need rich, nourishing, anti-wrinkle
cream to be patted in gently, night
and morning, and left- on over night
if the condition is advanced. And
more than ever, for your beauty's
sake, you need to smile!
