liuntin' lion head.- in Africa is
tin- pastime of natives ami thousands
of tourists from nil parts of thr
wot Id. we are told. And from u 11 ac-
counts- of tlii* popular diversion, it
i a thrilling sport.
But in America it's the other way
around -hunting headlines is our way
of "having a good time,' arid getting
thrills.

And so it is with this columnist,
who seeks tin- quietness of a Coxwell
chair and a newspaper for his daily
•trapeze work. And we get our
thrills, too, all the sport writers to
the contrary notwithstanding.
A few days ago we loosened our
color and sat down with our favorite
newspaper for a thrilling hour or so.
Approaching each column cautiously
we were finally struck l>y a headline
I that bore all the earmarks of being
a thriller. It read. "Attack Group

TEN RULES TO GIVE
YOUR EYES BEAUTY
Beauty specialists have worked out
a series of ten rules for the care^of
the eyes. They are guaranteed to
keep any woman's eyes beautiful and
lovely. As suinmaiized i«y Hazel
Kawson Cades f the Woman's Home
Companion, they are:
First of all, keep your eyes wide
open. Big eyes are young and hard
to resist.
A good mas.-age movement to keep
vye>t from dwindling and receding is
upward with the flats of the hands
jover the eyes and eyebrows and fore
head.
Wink—this is your eyes best ex-
ercise.
Squint lines obviously come lrom
squinting.
lfc> not avoid eyeglasses it 'you
want to avoid crow's teet, red veins,
blood-snot eyes and dark circles.
Try not to expose your eyes to
bright lights, wind and dust, poor
light or intensive reading.
Bathe your eyes daily with eye lo-
tion and eye cup or dropper.
Best your eyes by changing focus
or closing them briefly.
Lie down and use cold compresses
on the eyes when they are inflamed
of overtired.
Increase the apparent size of your
eves by discreet use of shadow on

Snyder, June 16—Light rains, to-
taling a quarter of an inch in Sny-
der and averaging slightly more than
been | that in some sections of the county,
were a temporary boon to farmers
and ranchmen, Tuesday—Many parts
of the county however, received only
sprinkles, mixed with a liberal sup-
ply of whirling sund. Crops are not
suffering appreciably from lack of
rain, but worms and insects are be-
ginning to play havoc with cotton,
young feed and gardens in some
sections.
The first newspaper was published
in Snyder and Scurry County forty-
four years ago this week—the Editor
of "The Scury County Times" says
"Tribute is due most of all to the
Snyder and Scurry county folks who
have stood by their newspapers as
hot dry winds scorched growing crops
and made a desert of the land or as
Heaven's showers and God's plenty
brought prosperity and peace—the
combined efforts of all has made it
possible for a newspaper to he pub-
lished in Snyder each week during the
forty-four years".
Scenic Road near Flccvanna, a
small town north west of Snyder is
clothed in gay colors of many flow-
ers. "Down the rough and beauti-
ful cliffs of the caprock that reaches
across the northwestern portion of
Scurry county, a fine load, flanked
by a west Texas scenic paradise,
wends its way. The people of Fleev-
anna who live only four milts from
this interesting mud say that it i.-
