THE ORIGIN OF “GIRL’’
The word “girdle” may well have
been the ancestor of our modern
word “girl,” though the real origin
of “girl” is still something of a mys-
tery. ‘
Some malicious scholars believe it
comes from “garrula,” meaning one
who chatters all day.
Another equally cynical researcher
maintains it is a corruption of
“girella,” a weathercock which veers

The law should be changed so it
would be possible for a pretty girl to
get a rich old fool’s money without
marrying -him.
When our life’s relatives come she
calls them visitors, but when ours
come she says she is running a free
boarding house.
In Mexico City, a local newspaper
ran a plaintive classified ad: “Young
man about to be married seeks older
experienced man to dissuade him
from idea.”
In Seattle, Norman E. Proctor
turned in his badge, revolver and
handcuffs, confessed that for the past
three months he had been driving to
police training classes in a stolen
automobile.
In ancient Rome, every girl wore
a girdle of sheep’s wool about her
waist.
When she married, there was an
elaborate ritual—part of the wedding
ceremony—during which the bride-
groom removed her girdle.
After that, she was considered a
woman.
And that’s how it started!

For many years Texas has
safe, sane legislators and governors |
so far as tax matters were concerned.
The recent legislature got out of line
and additional taxes were necessary
to carry on the services of the gov-
ernment. Now there is talk of a
State sales tax, income tax and gross
receipts tax, not to mention a larger
inheritance or death tax. Voters
should be careful who they select to
represent them this year. We want
none of those things and the place to
stop them is at the ballot box. Ques-
tion closely those who ask for your
legislative vote.—Deport Times.
In a small Paris hotel on the morn-
ing of December 20, 1926, a cham-
bermaid was cleaning the room of a
new gentleman guest when she no-
ticed an apple in his open suitcase
Being hungry, she started to eat the
fruit and discovered that it contained
the famous missing Conde rose dia-
mond. The gem had been stolen
from the Museum of the French In-
stitute in Chantilly on November 11
and was valued at $2,000,000.

stenographers who worked there
never once complained of the cold.
The following summer the walls
i were painted a dull slate blue and
soon after the next winter began the
stenographers started to complain of
feeling cold. Frequently they wore
sweaters and coats at their work.
Pointing out that the thermometer
constantly registered 70 degrees—
just as it had the previous winter—
didn’t do the slightest good. It was
necessary to keep the heat several
degrees higher for the balance of the
cold season. The trouble was traced
to the “coldness” of the slate blue
wall color and before winter came
again the walls were repainted in a
warm, light, tint.

.The spring issue of Texas Forest
News has a picture of a 101-year-old
pecan as one of the famous trees of
this state. Located in the northeast
part of Newton County, the patriarch
of the forest has a circumference of
15 feet, 6 inches; a height of 118 feet,
and a crown spread of 101 feet. Its
annual production is 1,000 pounds
of a small type, soft shell pecans.
For many years the crop from this
single tree paid the taxes for the old
Leland Lanham place where it is lo-
cated.
Texas usually is the leading pecan-
producing state, with Georgia as a
close competitor. This state has an
annual average production of 26,815,- about with every breeze.

had 3,212,633 pecans. It is the offi-
cial state tree and is widely popular,
although it thrives best in bottom
lands.
The impetus given to tree plant- I
ing in Texas by the Texas Forest
Service is salutary and calculated to
encourage more widespread cultiva-
tion of the pecan, which is a magnif-
icent and useful tree.—Fort Worth

Wife and I know how to raise a boy-
and we would rear son properly if we
had a chance, but something always
happens to keep us from doing what
we should. Last week after our son «
wrecked the car and made the first
i payment on a diamond ring for a
! widow with money I gave him to pay
the grocery bill, wife and I sat down
on him, but the next day he had a bad'
cough and we were uneasy. “I am
afraid he will have pneumonia,” wife
said, and she gave him her savings so
he could go out and have a little fun
before going to bed for a long sick
spell. Well, he didn’t get sick, but he-
spent the savings and we sat down on
him again. Today wife noticed that
he looked hollow-eyed, so I gave him
the, money I was saving for the rent.
We know how to raise a boy, but our
determination is broken down if he
sneezes.

Dr. Witter advises. “A dog that is
allowed to run loose may pick up
and bring home disease, or he may
be injured or killed by a car.”
Dr. Witter says it’s a good idea,
too, to teach dogs to obey. For ex-
ample, training your dog not to run
after cars may save his Ifie.

If you value your dog
King Winter in the lap of spying
I know may still be lingering
And many bitter winds may blow
Before he may decide to go.
But, I one certain sign have seen
That soon the fairways will be green.
We still may have to shovel snow
Before the tulips start to grow.
It’s much too soon, though skies
fair,
To change to lighter underwear*
But, still I think it safe to say
That spring draws nearer every day.
The robins I nd longer trust.
They northward come because they
must,
And as the mercury downward goes
The robins shiver when it snows.
More swallows I must see than one
Before I’m sure that winter’s gone.
But still the surest proof have I
That springhs here or just close by,
I’ve tested it from year to year,
There is no doubt that spring is near
