Cellophane is the registered
trade-mark of the Du Pont Cello-
phane Company. Cellophane, like
rayon, is made by the conversion of
cellulose into a~ solution, which
is then hardened, after being hy-
drated.
Like paper, cellophane comes in
sheet form. It is a non-textile un-
til it is made into fine strips and
woven into hats, dresses, trim-
mings, and novelty purses. The fine
strands can be knitted into mesh
for glass curtains. Sheets of cello-
phane can be plated or stuck to
mesh, and this product can be used
for dress protectors and slip cov-
ers. Novelty bags, belts, and party
favors can be made of woven, brai-
der, or crocheted strips of cello-
phane.
Some of the characteristics of
cellophane.
1. It is transparent, thin, shiny,
lustrous, and smooth.
2. It is non-explosive, but highly
inflammable.
It can be made moisture-proof,
odor-proof, and grease-proof.
(By Letha Mae Beaman)
As one ambles north on the street
that runs up in front of the Ag.
building, he comes to a brilliantly-
white bungalow on the left side of
the street about a block and a half
from the campus. It is just being
finished. Although its owner has
not moved in yet, it already has
that comfortable and hospitable
look of being lived in. Its appear-
ance calls to the passerby to ad-
vance and have a look around, to
see what is within those four walls.
One goes up a winding, rock path
which stops in front of a solid,
paneled, white door. To the im-
mediate right rises a broad, white
chimney. One knocks, the door
opens, and he is told that the house
belongs to Dr. Dick Smith, associ-
ate professor of history and gov-
ernment.
When the workman agrees to
show one through, he enters a
room, one side of which and part of
another are decorated with rows
of shelves. These are for Dr.
Smith's prize library. Yes, and
there is the fireplace. The walls
back of the shelves and around the
fireplace are of the decorative car
siding like the front door. It was
inspired by the way in which box
cars are built. The floor furnace in
this room has its gas fumes piped
into the chimney. A separate pass-
age is built for it when it has
reached the fireplace so that the
fumes will go up the chimney with-
out the danger of an explosion
which would exist if the fumes
were allowed to come in -.contact
with the fire in the fireplace.
In the dining room are two open,
corner cupboards which give that
modernistic colonial look. Here, too,
one finds Indirect lighting. As one
passes on into the kitchen, he sees
that this room is very small but
that is compensated for by a built-
in breakfast table.
The last rooms to be visited are
the bedrooms. One is for guests
and has fluorescent lighting. The
other one is Dr. Smith's and has
French doors which opsn onto the
front screened porch. The Venetian
blinds in this room match the rest
of the woodwork, which is done in
off-white throughout the house.
The distinguishing thing about
these blinds, however, is that the
binding strips are done in brown,
a pleasing contrast with the room's
gray-green wallpaper.
Both bedrooms have separate
baths, cedar closets, built-in shoe
racks in the closets, and full-length
glasses on the closet doors, which
are not cednr-lin,:d. Dr. Smith,
however, does not like to see him-
self every time that he passes a
wall or a door; therefore, he had
the mirror panel in his closet door
put on thp inside. Both bedrooms
also have original contraptions
which do away with dressers and
chests of drawers. They are built-
in drawers which rise to a height
convenient for using the top as a
dresser. Mirrors are set into the
wall above the drawers, and little
lights above take the place of the
usual boudoir lamps.
Throughout the house one notices
that the windows are unselfishly
wide and that their sills rest near-
er the floor. The effect is slightly
one of elegance. A luxury which
the eye can know nothing about is
above the ceilings. They are insula-
ted with layers of spun glass to re-
tain the heat.
Then as one leaves the house,
what he has seen still has an in-
fluence over him. He just cannot
resist a look back,

A PRAYER
O God, forgive that trivial
affairs should hide Thee from
us. Forgive that lesser matters
consume our days so that Thou
canst claim only a worn rem-
nant of our time and talents.
We need Thee, our Father; we
need to feel Thee about us in
us; we need for ourselves Thy
power, Thy stature, Thy beauty.
Make us aware that Thou art
eternally a well-spring of order-
liness, strength, comfort, hope
aspiration,- and love.
Amen.

Take Your Pick—
dent of the Student Council. He is
a local bov; and if you have ever
stopped by the Circle "T" for a hot
dog, you will remember him. He
was a hteh school basket ball play
er, and I'm sure his height was a
great help. I can't find anything
in his record that says that ho is a
professional politician but judging
from his assembly speech, he knows
how to "win friends a Ad influence
people."
Since it is supposed to be ladies
first, I'll tell you about Betty Orth
before I get to Charles Simmons,
They are nominees for editor of
the J-Tac. Betty has quite a bit of
experience in newspaper work. She
was assistant editor of her school
paper, wrote editorals and other
articles, did some proof-reading,
acted as a reporter, and did a
few other odd jobs on the paper.
She has also had some journalism.
Here at Tarleton Betty is a mem-
hsr of the A. W. S. Council. She-
is from Texas City. She says that
if she is elected, she will do her
best to be editor of a J-Tac that
every student will be proud of. She
is also willing to devote all her
snare time to the paper. Also she
added, that if there were no spare
time, she would make some.
Of course since Charles Simmons
ha<s never done anything, there is
very little I can say about him. He
worked on the business staff of
both his high school annual and
newspaper, both. He was a mem-
ber of the National Honor Society
and his high school scholarship
society for three years. He was
secretary of both. At Tarleton he
has made the semester honor roll.
He not only has been outstanding
in scholastic activities but he has
also been outstanding in sports,
He went to the regional three
years in tennis and in 1940 he won
the West Texas and New Mexico
State championship in tennis. May-
be I had better retract that state-
ment about Simmons' never having
done anything.
Next in line is that kinky haired
boy with the laughing eyes, Ralph
Pusek, nominee for editor of the
Grassburr. Dusejt was valedictor-
ian of his high school, Paint Rock,
and he has continued to make an
excellent record here. He too made
the semester honor roll. In high
school he was a member of the
F, F. A. and was an outstanding
athlete. He played football and was
a star on the track team.
The last name in the jackpot
seems to be "Cotton" Highsaw, I
don't know how he has managed
to keep the name "Cotton" because
I couldn't see anything but burr-
head, Seriously though he has had
his share of the high school honors
or should I say work'. He was presi-
dent of his senior class at Mineral
Wells. Also he was vice-president
of the Hi-Y,'and don't ask me what
that is. He has worked on his high
school annual staff, and Ije took
part in football and track. Far
from the least of his accomplish-
ments is being freshman presi-
dent here at Tarleton.
The candidates have two weeks
for campaigning, apd perhaps by
next week I"ll have some more
news about the candidates.
Student Problems—
finally it was moved that the com-
mittee on re-organizing the con-
stitution take action on the mat-
ter.
Assembly Desired
Cowling brought up the subject
of assemblies in Tarleton. It seem-
ed to be the general opinion that
the students would like to have an
assembly. A resolution was passed
saying that one hour would be set
aside for an assembly once a week.
A chapel program committee con-
sisting of the president of both
classes, the president of the Stu-
dent Council, and a faculty adviser
was appointed.
Mr, Len Clardy, dean of men,
made a pep talk on recreation, and
suggested that a committee for in-
vestigation and suggestions be ap-
pointed. This recreation committee
is made up of Rayford Russell, Ed
Durst, Douglas Pollard, Lucille
Neighbours, and Mary Rogers.
The group adjourned and went to
the Long Hotel for dinner. The
dinner consisted of fruit salad,
steak, English peas, a; half potato
with cheese, hot rolls, butter,
strawberry dessert, and coffee.
