rum. Ia spits of all oar knowledge
and science, there is no absolute se-
curity—for the big man or the little
Sman, for the rich or the poor. These
hasards must not be allowed to take
their utmost toll of the defenceless.
In our high-powered, mass-industry
world, the only agency big enough to
act for all the people is the govern-
ment. This is the what and why of
that might cause fire. Look for such
hazards as defective electrical equip-
ment, frayed and worn wiring, pen-
nies behind blown fusee,' defective
heating plants and chimneys, fire-
places without screens and hot ashes
in wooden ash containers. Cleaning
with gasoline is very dangerous.
After painting jobs, which many do
in the spring, be sure to dispose of
oil or paiht soaked rags and clothing.
A warning from the National Board
of Fire Underwriters states that many
homes are burned by spontaneous ig-
nition. Arts from paint rags left in a
social security legislation. The things
that go to make up this legislation
Include a wholesome childhood, ade-
quate education, a job at a health-
and-decency wage, proper housing,
and sofne sort of insurance against
the inevitable “rainy days.”
FROM CONGRESSMAN
CLYDE L GARRETT
RELIEF
According to President
Roosevelt the billion dollars proposed
in January budget message for. re-
lief will not be enough for the 1989
fiscal year. 13,000,000,000 was re-
quested by R committe of mayors who
called on the President. Administra-
tor Hopkins stated that only a sum
large enough to provide relief from
July to January will be asked.
RAILROAD SUBSIDY—Opposition
to a Federal subsidy to the railro^dj,
was expressed by the President re-
cently. He states that if this type of
subsidy is granted to railroads, other
lines of industry would have the right
to expect similar aid.
COTTON LOANS
Under a pro-
gram of Federal accomodation pro-
vided by the Commodity Credit Cor-
poration, loans may be applied for
through local banks or other lending
agencies, directly from the Commod-
ity Credit Corporation at Washington
or its field agencies or at any local
deadline for such loans for the 1937-38
qrop, -and applications must be in to
aitow granting of the loan before that
time. Attached to each note given
by producers, to obtain the loan, must
( be ■ certificate from a field board of
examiners of the Dept, of Agriculture
as to the class of cotton, certificate
from warehouseman, and certificate
from secretary or treasurer of the
agricultural conservation association
,for the county in which the cotton was
produced. The loan shall be at a rate
of nine cents a pound on middling
cotton of staple length of 7-8 of an
i#ch or better, and the rates move
downward an lower grade cotton.
HOME BUILDING
IT STILL PAYS
this month,
Just 234 yean
America witnessed the publication of
I its first permanent newspaper, the
I Boston "News Letter.”
r But the girth of this famed fledg-
ling on' April 24, 1704, is memorable
not only as a worthy landmark in the
history of American journalism. It
is also memorable because the “New's
Letter’s” now ancient pages contained
the first advertisements America had
seen, and because these advertise-
ments held revolutionary implications
They contained the seeds of the mass
production of goods, lower costs, and
| an increasingly higher living stand-
ard. ,
Without advertising, your family
car would possibly cost 83.000, your
washing machine 8400, a tube of
toothpaste, 81.00.
We mention these things, and we
.hope, you will excuse the editor for
taking this opportunity to talk a bit
of shop, because in looking at the
newspapers advertisements today, yon
may say of some item,
For the first time in the history of
this nation the Stars and Bars of
the Confederacy appear on a United
States minted half dollar. A replica
of the Confederate flag appears on
the commemorative half dollar is-
sued by the U. & gqy&TOnept to
commemorate the 75th anniversary
of the Battle of Gettysburg and the
final reunion of the surviving veter-
ans of the war between the states.
The coins, limited to an issue of
50,000, sell for $1.65 each. They are
available through the Pennsylvania
State Commission. Gettysburg,

EXPANSION — Low cost housing
lis due for large expansion. Rural
electrification and flood control is also
expected to expand. Large orders for
material, machinery, jobs and profit
prospects should result from this ex-
pansion. -
NEW FEDERAL TRADE CEN-
SUS — The Government wilF mail
questionaires in the current Census
of Retail and Wholesale Trade, cov-
ering 1937 and first half of 1938, in
the latter part of June, not in March
as previously announced by the Cen-
sus Bureau. The change will be made
because the Bureau hor'decided to in-
clude in 1938 the first two quarters,
J«n. 1 to March 31, and April 1 to
June 30, instead of only the first
quarter. This census makes available
to trade associations and * business
men in general, current statistics on
trade, that may be compared with
statistics for 1936 already available,
to show business trends.

safeguard a worker in a hazardous
environment. Thst management re-

Mrs. J. V. White Is in Austin this

Looks like a
I bargain alright, but how much is^thLs
ad costing me ?” .
In answer to this, Paul S. Willis, an
[ authority on advertising costs, recent-
ly disclosed the precise truth of the
matter. On a nationally advertised
brand of soup, you pay 85-1000th of a
cent per can, for advertising, on a
similiarly advertised soft drink, 1,576-
100,000th on each rive cent bottle. On
all other popular items the dbsts are
just as microscopic.
Ait as every vue businessman
knows, FIRST you’ve got,to tell the
world what you have to offer. If
merchants hide their light under a
bushel, as the saying goes, the con-
sumer can’t be expected to see the
light, or their bargains. Far-sighted
merchants knew that when they
placed ads in the Boston “News Let-
ter* 234 years ago. And their princi-
ple remains constant, “It pays to ad-
vertise!”
:irically, his complaints were
it certain inadequacies and fa-
ncies fa the physical and tech-
system for controlling today’s

system itself, fa traffic signals,

fic laws intelligently enforced, the
major responsibility for traffic acci-
dents devolves upon •him. Then we

bringing -motor traffic under control
but fa greatly facilitating traffic
movement. t
SOCIAL SECURITY — WHAT IS
IT? — Stripped down to bare terms,
what does this “social security”
mean? Just that every man and
woman shall have a chance to stand
on his own feet. Tie Social Security
Act and other Social legislation h$lp
to give the American workers some-
thing solid to stand on—a firm foot-
ing on which to fight for a living.
Life being what it ia, we shall never
have too much security. Sickness and
accident spare none. Wives loes their
husbands, and children their parents,
what ever their economic status. Even
the well-to-do may rind their liveli-
hood wiped out by chances beyond
•their control. And fa the end the lot
