In comparison with July 1947,
Retail Sales Dip
Slightly In July
Austin, Texas, Aug. 19.—July re-
tail sales in Texas dipped fraction-
ally below June to an estimated
$424,000,000, the University of
Texas Bureau of Business Research
reported.
Keeping pace with advancing
prices, sales rose 13 per cent over
July, 1947. Last month consumer
prices were up 10 per cent from a
year earlier.
July sales of durable goods stores
slipped 1 per cent from June, while
sales of nondurable stores were in-
creased by the same amount.
Lumber and building material
dealers showed July sales 2 per
cent above June, and furniture
stores increased sales 1 per cent,
the only durable goods stores re-
porting sales gains in July. On the
other hand, monthly decreases oc-
curred in. hardware stores, 6 per
cent; jewelry stores, 5 per cent;

leave as head of Studebaker Com-
pany to direct the Economic Co-
oper ation Administration.
ne ECA administers the Mar-
shall Plan and he told the Texans
of a recent trip to Europe which
convinced him, he said, that prog-
ress is being made toward making
the Continent self-supporting.
A native Texan was another
guest. Maurice T. Moore, partner
in a New York law firm which
handles matters for Studebaker, ac-
companied Hoffman. Moore now is
a legal advisor to the ECA.
Bearing in mind the company he
was in, Hoffman upon being intro-
duced said: “I must apologize. I’ve
been in Texas, but I am not a
Texan.”
Moore went to New York to

ing of witnesses.
Of course, the committee chair-
man presides over the hearings
and committee members take turns
questioning witnesses, but Stripling
is responsible for bringing out all
possible information for the guid-
ance of the committee.
The dapper, black - haired and
, personable Texan has been kept on
by the committee despite the fact
that it passed to Republican con-
trol when that party won a major-
ity of the House in the 1946 elec-
tions.
“Strip” is the father of an 8-year-
cld daughter, Bunny. His father is
former San Augustine County
Judge R. N. Stripling. The younger
Stripling attended Texas A. and M.
and the University of Texas. He
served for 18 months in the Army
during the war.

Gregg County in East Texas is
one of the leading areas in the na-
tion in the development of a hospi-
tal program under the new Feder-
al Hospital Act.
The U. S. Public Health Service
adivses Rep. Lindley Beckworth of
Gladewater, that it is in the final
stages of approving plans and spe-
cifications prior to allocating funds
for improvements in Gregg.
One project is a 60-bed addition
to the Gregg County Memorial Hos-
pital in Longview. Preliminary es-
timated cost is $689,400, of which
the government will put up $229,-
800. The other is a 50-bed general
hospital for Kilgore, estimated to
cost $842,500, of which the Federal
share is $275,500.

A letter reached Washington ad-
dressed simply to “The Congress of
the United States, Washington
D. C.”
There are 435 members of the
House and 96 Senators. The sealed
letter was delivered to one of them.
Who? Rep. Olin Teague of College
Station. How come? Because the
postmark was that of a town in his
district, Wortham, That’s the way
the Postoffice here handles such
mail.
The letter was signed by Mrs.
Mary Tisdale, contemplating going
into business for herself, she wrote:
“I would like to know where I
could purchase a broom threader,

an aged, grey-haired and nicely
dressed Negro woman. She said
she was lost and wondered how to
find the Senate gallery. We sug-
gested she follow us.
Reaching the Senate chamber,
she pulled out an admission card
and commented in a quiet Southern
voice that she was “an old mammy”
visiting the capital for the first
time. She said she was from Dallas,
Texas. We told her we, too, were
from Texas and she beamed broadly
and said:
"My, my. It sure ‘nuf is a small
world after all.”
She said her name was Ola Cala-
han, and that she was here at-
tending a church mission confer-
ence. Up in the spectators gallery
she spent much time reading scrip-
ture while Southern Senators fili-
bustered against Civil Rights legis-
lation.

Welcome to the fresh fruit
season and shortcakes for dessert!
How the men love ’em, but we
sometimes suspect they just try to
ignore the work that goes into the
making.
Well, there’s one good way of
getting around a lot of the bother
of making a Fresh Peach Short-
cake. Just keep some Ever-Ready
Blend on hand, all mixed and ready
to make into biscuits, muffins,
waffles, shortcakes and other
superb hot breads. Using this
Ever Ready recipe, it’s no trick at
all to put together a luscious
Peach Shortcake — or Berry Short-
cake, if you prefer. One egg and a
little sugar added to the basic
recipe are all that’s needed to
produce that tempting crispecrusted
cake. Filled with peaches, covered
with peaches and topped with
whipped cream, or ice cream maybe,
it’s a dessert to grace all the tables
of the land.
Ever-Ready Blend
(For Biscuits, Shortcakes, etc.)
12 cups (3 quarts) sifted flour
4 tablespoons calumet baking
powder
2 tablespoons salt
2 cups (1 pound) shortening
Sift flour once. Measure 3 cups
at a time into sifter, adding a
tablespoon (3 teaspoons) baking
powder and 1% teaspoons salt for
each 3 cup amount; sift into large
bowl. Repeat until full amount of
dry ingredients has been added.
Cut in shortening with pastry
blender or two knives until finely
divided and mixture resembles
coarse meal. Makes about 14 cups
Ever-Ready Blend.
