forty-nine before the session can

White and Wiley before the num-

It takes only seven minutes to

Clerk Crockett consumes fifteen
minutes this time, just to give
the boys a break. He pauses as
long as ten seconds between names.
At the end of the list he makes
a hurried count, and whips the
tally back to the vice president,
declaring that forty-nine members
have answered to their names. Act-
ually, there are only thirty mem-

knows another twenty, will pop in

Photoology.
Miss Katie: What is
—Curious.
Deep Sowing Harmful.
Flower seeds should be planted
at a depth that does not exceed
four times, their own diameter.
Deep sowing will result in poor
germination or no germination at
all, because the young shoots will
be unable to force their way
through the soil.
Thinning important.
You find the seedlings come up
too closely together, and thinning
will be necessary. Start thinning
out the plants just as soon as they
are large enough to handle which
will be when they have three or
four leaves. Remember it is im-
portant to thing out the plants
before they have a chance to suf-
fer from overcrowding. Once the
plants become leggy they will be of
little value. You will find! it neces-
sary to thin out the plants several
times before they reach flowering
size. The plants you thin out need
not be wasted. Most of them may
be satisfactorily transplanted to
other parts of the garden. Every
plant must have room to expand
and attain its full size without
crowding into its neighbors.

Q. What is the Texas Historical
Association? When was it founded?
By whom? For What purpose?
What are the requirements for
membership?
A. The Texas State Historical
Association was founded in Austin
in 1897 for the purpose of collect-
ing and preserving sound historical
information about Texas. The
founders were Dr. George P. Har-
rison John H. Reagan, Gov. F. R.
Lubbock, Gov. O. M. Roberts and
John S. (Rip) Ford. The associa-
tion has always had a distinguished

m Or maybe it isn’t a memorandum. Perhaps it’s an of-
ficial government esvelope that tells you where to report
for military service that will net you anywhere from 2
cents to $1 a day, depending on what army you’re in.
• However it hits you, you know that it has come. The
wer that you knew your country was in has, at last,
cme right up to your front door.
For awhile you say to yourself, “That’s all right. I’ve
got to do my part. I’ve got to help my country fight dic-
tutorship, or Communism, or Imperialism, or mesmerism
op something, what ever it is.” And you kick in. You fight
ad get wounded or you work your self to death and get
under-paid.
• After you’ve begun to get a little tired of feeding your
fmily one pound ef meat a week, cutting down on
smokes when you need them most, dragging your tired
fame home each night, through black-out streets, you
begin to wonder what it’s all about—what are you doing
itfor anyway? ,
So you get together with some other people who feel
the same way and you ask please couldn’t the hours be
c before you’re not good for anything and couldn’t you
have just a little more pay to meet the prices that are
slaiooting too high. And somebody pats your forehead
ad says with a kind of pioous sigh, “C’est le gurre," or
“England expects every man to do his duty,” or “My
Gentry, right or wrong ”
" That’s the way it works, no matter what side you’re
ol When war is vague, the slogans and the band music
sdnggood, but when it hits you right in the middle—
that’s different. That’s why French labor is asking for
better pay, shorter hours. That’s why British women are
umeasy about their rights. That’s why German workers
ale beginning to grumble a little, if they think no one’s
likening.

Injustice.
Miss Katie: I rsad your explana-
tion of justice. Do you think a man
man is punished for doing an in-
justice to another? Is injustice
practiced through wickedness and
evil intentions?—Dan Forbes.
It is not always wickedness and
evil intentions that prom,pt in-
justice, though there are undoubt-
edly some wrongs that are done
intentionally. Injustice is often
practiced by those who do not
know the law. Whatever you do
to others, goor or bad, is sure to be
‘done unto you.” The law is plain-
ly mathematical. It cannot fail. Our
only hope is to learn the law of
eternal justice and put ourselves
into harmony with it. If you would

: In Ennis are some of the greatest mothlers that ever
lived—mothers that sacrifice willingly for their children,
mothers that study continuously that they may lead their
children in paths intellectual, mothers that set fine moral
examples for their boys and girls, mothers that strive
courageously to follow the golden rule day by day.
The News believes that there is in Ennis some woman
who is entitled to be known as the American Mother of
1940. It hopes that several readers of this paper will
nominate a neighbor or a friend for this honor and
send in the name and qualifications to the Golden Rule
Mothers’ Day Committee, 60 East Forty-second street,
New York, at once.
Requirements of the American Mother are:
First—She must have an outstanding record as a suc-
cessful mother. This standard is not to be fixed by the
size of her family, but by the character, personality and
worthwhile achievements of her individual children;
- Second—She must embody those traits most highly
regarded in mothers: courage, moral strength, patience,
infection, kindness;, understanding and home-making a-
bility;
• Third—She must have found time in addition to her
home duties to help her own community or give some
other public benefit.

He recommended that wire tap-

and espionage cases, and that even
in these, legislation permitting it
should be written by liberal law-
yers such as Judge Pecora or Mor-
ris Ernst.
Note: When Attorney General
Jackson abolished wire tapping even
on espionage cases, the FBI one
d'ay before had unearthed a Nazi
attempt to sabotage the Queen
Mary. But day after day Jackson’s
edict, they followed the case only
by shadowing the plotters, not by
tapping wires.
