THE OLNEY ENTERPRISE
P*«« 9
(Houston Chronicle)
Kingsville, July 1.—Will Rogers,
who has just concluded a brief visit
to the King ranch as a guest of the
Kleberg family, gave an appreciative
audience last night the benefit of
his conclusions after attending the
his conclusions after attending the ( and others as well, Miss Mamie
two major party conventions.He• Grimes, clothing specialist of the Ex-
spoke at the South Texas State periment station, A. & M. college,
bpuac c* u ----
Teacher’s college auditorium.
Will says it makes no difference
who is president, that all this time
and money spent on these conven-
tions is just wasted; that the old
fellows who made our laws must
have looked ahead and thought of
the sort of baboons that we would
have running around by this time
and they made these laws so that
nobody could ruin the country re-
gardless of who got in there.
Speaking of Curtis of Kansas he
said he wished to run against Cur-
tis for the vice presidential nomi-
nation; that he and Curtis were
both of the same race. Curtis be-
ing a Kaw Indian and himself a
Cherokee, and that the Cherokees
had always whipped the Kaws, there
being more of them. He said e
would build his platform with a
prohibition plank, calling for beer
for the poor, wine for the rich, and
corn liquor for the prohibitionists.
In other words he would not disturb
present conditions. ,
As to farm relief he would not
only relieve the farmers but he
would cure them. He would advise
them either to sell their farms or
let the old second mortgage go.
Speaking of Heflin, Rogers said we
should not take Heflin too serious-
ly that he meant well but did not
* have all the facts. Rogers stated
he visited Rome and went through
the Vatican and looked at all the
rare old paintings and the treas
ures they had there and after look
ing at everything he said Heflin
need not worry, because even if AI
Smith was elected the pope could
not move all that stuff over here
in four years.
Getting away from politics, Wu
said, among other things:
“We and Turkey are the only two
* countries that are prohibitionists. It
we could adopt some of Turkey s
other customs we would be all right.
Of course we do it, but it isn t r e-
alized. Charlie Chaplin is really
a fine fellow. Of course, he has
married around quite a bit, but from
what I can see the girls have all
come out of it better off than when
they went in. They kicked me out
as mayor of Beverly Hills. Beverly
Hills is a decent part of Holly
. wood. While mayor I insisted that
moving picture actors should be
limited to two marriages a yeai
gk They said I was narrow-minded and
W .prudish and kicked me out.
“I am the only living actor out
there who still has the same wife
he started with.
“You have a great little college
here. Understand it is to trai
teachers so they can go out and J
and teach the rest of ^s heathen,
what it is all about. I have my
, ideas of these colleges. I think the
students from high schools should
be divided half to go to w0lk
the other half to go to college. Then
in four years when the half co
out of colleges they would have
some place to go. They could go to ,
work for those who had gone to
work four years ago.
„ “I think these girls need moie
¥ education. I don’t mean they should
know more, Lord knows they know
too darn much now. They need
some place to unlearn some of the
things they have already leaned
“It used to be a problem to know
what to do with the college man
when he came home. Now we have
a position. He goes to work m a
filling station. More of our unem-
ployed work in filling stations than
any place else. The work is light
but the hours are long as you can-
not tell when it will be held P
Somebody has to be there to hand
over the money; maybe to a fra-
ternity brother.” • ;jwjj
Rogers promised to re^ln f ,,
Kingsville in August for the
roundup on the King ranch.
BOURLAND BACK FROM AUSTIN
—o—
A M Bourland, of Vernon, presi-
dent -of the West Texas Chamber
of Commerce,, returned Friday
afternoon from Austin, where ie
attended a meeting of highway com-
mittees of the West Texas East
Texas and South Texas chambers of
commerce.
The fundemental elements foi
(Constructive state highway polio
were discussed at this meeting, Mi.
Bourland said. ,
“A highway policy for the thiee
regional chambers was outlined and
delivered for the consideration of d -
* rectors of each regional organiza-
tion. but so far the plans of the com-
mittee have not been adopted,
said. “The, policy of the committee
will be announced as soon as ad p
ed or rejected by the three organi-
The sub-committee, which drafted
the policy, was composed of Clarence
Owsley, of the East Texas Chambe
of Commerce; J. P. Williams, West
urrmies, ^ ---
periment Station, A. & M. college,
declared in a talk before the girls
group at the nineteenth annual
Farmers Short ‘Course here.
Clothes are a vital part of people
and present a problem from which
there seems no escape chiefly be-
cause of what for lack of a better
term we call “clothes consciousness,”
the specialist said. People are never
able to forget for any appreciable
length of time the presence or lack
of clothing.
Clothing has been given many
definitions, Miss, Grimes, continued.
“It is called the artificial skin.” It
is, in spite of all we may say to the
contrary, a part of us and forms a
problem from which there is no es-
cape.
Clothes were first worn by our
ancestors, either as a protection, for
ornamentation or for the sake of
modesty. At present our chief mo-
tive for the use of clothes is that of
habit or custom. Present styles indi-
cate that our purpose is no longer
solely that of modesty. Clothes al-
ways reflect the spirit of the age.
Present day dress is for a busy, ac-
tive people.”
Clothes have much to do with
the mental attitude, Miss Grimes
said. “When feeling blue, try dres-
sing up in your favorite dress” she
advised the girls. “When you feel it
doesn’t matter what you wear or how
you look, take particular care with
your dressing and see if it doesn’t
help.” It is often possible to change
mental attitude by merely changing
costume, the specialist said.
“The materials of which our
clothes are made and their style or
manner of cut' have a decided psy-
chological effect upon us. Silks,
which are thin, light, easily flowing,
give us grace, ease of motion and
comfort. On the other hand, heavy
ceremonial ^ilks, such as those which
‘stood alone’ in grandmother’s day.
give us restraint and dignity. Colors,
too, have their own effects, both
physical and mental on the wearer
and observer.
“Clothes of improper fit and se-
lection may Tuin an otherwise good rural sections and elsewhere can (in-
disposition. Few of us are so con- prove the home with their earnings

our clothes. They are even of such flowers, garden truck, by orchards

thing as a hole in a stocking may more balanced and wholesome diet in

ling the surplus to provide more
money for the improvement of the
home they have talked and dreamed
about.”
The home should be a place of
beauty, so attractive that every pas-
sing stranger inquires “Who lives
in that lovely home,” Mrs. Martin
said. An dnviting-looking home ele-
spoil an evening’s pleasure.

HALF DOLLAR MUST GO
SAYS U. S. MINT DIRECTOR
Half dollars are following the
silver dollar into oblivion because
most people would rather have
twh quarters than a 50-cent piece
Expressing this belief, Robert
J. Grant, director of the United
States mint at Denver, declared
half dollars were too bulky to be
carried easily. Besides, the new
small sized bills which will be put
into circulation soon will serve to
make the silver dollar more unpopu-
lar, Grant believes.
