THE MODERN GIRL
PERSONALS
Miss Mary Davis, R. N.' Gaines-
ville was here Sunday visiting her
mother, Mrs. Rosa Davis. On Tues-
day, Mrs. Nannie Mae Martin of
Nncona was also a guest of her
mother, Mrs, Davis.
guests of their parents,
Mrs. Paul D. Roberts.
Mr. and
Mr. and Mrs. Tony Roling of
Olney were Sunday guests of her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sain Erwin.
J. W. Stanford, and his sister, Mrs,
J. K. Seibold. This is the first visit
the Stanfcrds have made to this part
cf the state in 23 years. .
Harry Sampson of Olton, was
here this week visiting with his
son, Joe Sampson and wife.
Mrs. Thermon Hemphill and
sons of Earth eaine in Sunday in
response to a message that her
father, T. C. Maguire, was seriously
ill.
The modern girl as she stands, today, facing the world
with her tall, slim, straight body; her proud head held high;
ner steady keen eyes, her eagerness to be pushing forward
and grasping with her slender hands the very best that life
has to offer, is a chemical product from the crown of her
bobbed-hair head to the soles of her spike-heeled, slipper clad
feet.
If her day is to be spent in sports, the "sneekers" siie
wears are made of chemically treated paper, with rayon tie;j
and soles of synthetic rubber—her slacks and shirts will likely
be made of "sharkskin," a fabric made from the bark of trees
or wh^at straw and weighted with iron to give it crispness--
a belt of imitation leather encircles her tiny waist—her
jeweled shirt-studs are made of sand, salt or chalk—her curls,
the product of a permanent wave machine and a chemical
curling fluid, are tied down with a ribbon made from cotton
chemically treated to resemble silk.
When she dresses for dinner she slips into under gar-
ments of cornstalks—her slippers arc made from artificial
skins, with "leather" soles made of rags and paper—her silk
stockings are fashioned from wood-pulp. Her dinner gown
was once a part of a tree in a mighty forest, and perhaps is
trimmed with buttons th^t once were milk; or synthetic beads
and ribbon of rayon.
Her face is "made up" with the product of modern dye-
stuffs, as are her highly polished painted fingernails. The
sheen on her hair is synthetic, and the hair may have been
treated with modern chemicals so that its color may be
changed to match her costume. The glistening gems on her
long slim fingers, her milk-white throat, and her arms are
synthetic, also.
If she is going out to dinner she rides in a car painted
with a by-product of cotton, and the fruits she eats are
ripened by artificial lights and heat, the ices are made in an
iceless refrigerator—and on and on until we reach the con
elusion that a modern girl is not only a "work of art" but also
a product of chemistry.

WAR ON THE PINK BOLL WEVIL
Franklin Meador, small son of
Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Meador, who
has been in Wichita Falls Hospital
some ten days suffering with pneu-
monia, is well on the road to re-
covery. This is the second time this
small lad has been ill with this
dreaded disease this year.
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Young of
Wichita Falls, enroute to Honey-
grove for a visit with relatives
stopped in Saint Jo to pick up their
aunt, Miss Cretia Doekery, who ae-
companicd them on their trip. The
party returned home Sunday night.
John Grilfis of Ardmore, Okla.,
Piner Griffis of Wichita Falls and
Burrel Griffis of Joy were here Fri-
day visiting their sister, Mrs. J. G.
May. Mrs. W. F. Price, who is in
Ardmore, Okla., to care for her
mother, Mrs. Edna Griffis, who is ill,
was also here for the day with Mrs.
May. V
Guests last week-end in the home
of Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Lusk were
their daughters. Mrs. Tom Medlin
of Sadler and Mrs. Cecil Johnson
of Sherman.
Week-end guests of Mr. and Mrs.
S. E. O'Neal, were Mr. and Mrs.
J. M. Morris of Quitman and Mr
and Mrs. T. L. Walker and daugh-
ter, Patsy of Amarillo. Mrs. Wal-
ker is a sister and Mr. Morris the
brother of Mrs. O'Neal.
Guests of Mr. and Mrs. Neal R
Smith this week-end were their
children, Mr. and Mrs. LcRoy Stel-
zer of Henrietta and Mrs. Smith's
sister-in-law, Mrs. Curtis Tisdell
and her mother, Mrs. Carroll, of
Woodbine.
Among the Dallas visitors Satur-
day were Mrs. T. E, Giles and
daughter. Miss Margaret; Mrs.
Lucy Farrier and daughters, Misses
Mary and Nell Ruth.
Mr. and Mrs. Orville Austin, who
have been* here visiting their par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Homer Donnell
and Mrs. A. P. Austin, left Monday
for Maud, Okla.
Recently the State Department of Agriculture requested
an emergency appropriation to enable the Department to con
tinue up to August 31st of 1939, its work of pink bollworm
eradication and control. The amount requested was $11,000100.
This is a meager'amount when compared with the damage
this insect could do in a single cotton producing county if no
' efforts to'eradicate or control were made.
• The pfnk bollworm is recognized as the most destructive
cotton post and one of the most difficult to combat.
The Federal Government for 1938-39 appropriated
$144,544.00 for control of boll weevil, bollworm, leaf worm,
and flea hopper for the entire cotton area and added
$'446,800.00 for control of the pink bollworm.
The State Department of Agriculture had an appropria-
tion for the Division of Horticultural Inspection and Quaran-
tine—this division administering regulatory work in connec-
tion with control and eradicaton of pests such as the pink
bollworm of $15,000.00 and the A. & M. Experiment station
hftd $13,435.00 for research work along similar lines.
As stated in the House of Representatives by the Hon.
Albert L. Derden of Falls County, "It is worth eleven thous-
and dollars to the people of any county to know that the
Department of Agriculture is doing its best to control and
eradicate the pink bollworm in cotton producing counties of
Texas."

WHY DID THEY DIE?
More than 1,600 were killed in Texas by automobile acci-
dent^ last year. A majority of these accidents occurred when
thej weather was reasonably clear,Minder more than fair driv-
ing ewiditions and on pave'd highways.
Why did they die? The answer comes back clear, cool
an 1 really appalling—Carelessness in driving. ^Statistics
show/that improper aHving is responsible for 70/W>pf these
1,6 00 Texans who are dead. In figures this Would be n^ore
thin 1,100 persons might tCK^y be alivg and happy if all the
drivers in this state had beenycareful.,,
Few accidents are reported due to-mechanical defects in
the cars, and few to physicaHdefects/6r handicaps.
Subdividing improper driving habits the first one is too
fast driving, not always calcpl^ted in the number of miles
thd cat is going per hour, but too fast from the standpoint of
road condition, time of day, and amount of traffic involved.
Other wrong driving habits are disregarding stop signs ,or
traffic signals, passing on curves or hills, driving on the
wrong side of the road, turning in too quickly and etc. y
Better roads, and better mechanical condition of cars will
each contribute toward lessening the loss of lives in highway
accidents but so long as drivers are careless and incompetent,
human lives will be needlessly sacrificed. A
Road safety, after all, is an individual responsibility. #nd
Individual care and thoughtfulness is th^ only remedy^for
highway danger. r . \
