ARMISTICE DAY
November 11 marks the 13th an-
niversary of the Armistice which end-
ed the world's greatest tragedy. Yet
the effects of the war are still felt
everywhere, and unrest is as wide-
spread as it was before that great
struggle.
In spite of the efforts which have
been made since 1918 in the interest
of peace, the outlook for the future
is not reassuring. The needs and aspir-
tions of nations are unsatisfied, and
the desires of one nation can not be
met without encroachment upon its
neighbors.
Just now a striking example of
these unsatisfied ambitions is seen
in Manchuria and Mongolia, where the
conflicting interests of China, Japan
and Russia menace the peace of the
Far East.
While less acute for the moment, the
racial and economic antagonisms
among European nations still exist,
and the political atmosphere is filled
•with distrust.
In view of these conditions, Armis-
tice Day this year should remind ali
people of the horrors of the last war,
and cause them to pause before tak-
ing any aggressive step which might
lead to another.
Eugenia Hats To Go
ARMISTICE DAY
Here's a bit of good news for la-
dies who can afford to throw their
Empress Eugenie hats away. They are
going out of style. So we are assured
by Lucien Lelong, famed Paris fashion
authority, who recently ai'rived in
New York to confirm what American
fashion experts have been saying al-
ready.
Of all the creations foisted upon
an unsuspecting public in recent
years, the Empress Eugenie hat is
about the ugliest. Somewhere there
may be a woman who really looks
good in one, but if this is so she would
look better in some other mode of
headgear.
Commenting on Lelong's pronounce-
ment, the Outlook speculates on the
reason for the short life of the Eugenie
fashion. It suggests several reasons,
but concludes that the ladies have re-
gained their sense of humor and now
see the ghastly joke the Parisians
played on them.
And in the present depressed state
of affairs it was all the more cruel
to lead folks to spend good money on
such a monstrosity as the Empress
Eugenie sky-piece.

of memories
WAlTC
That no pne would think of invest-
ing in or doing business on a large,
or even modertte scale, in any section
without first making a serious inves-
tigation as to the political, financial
and business condition of the section
interested in, and nowadays they es-
pecially look at the political situation.
More and more the politicians are
trying to dictate to private business
what they shall do, what they shall
sell, by over taxation, by over regu-
lation, and by means to chase capital
to cover. Investors are putting their
money in foreign securities instead of
,putting their money into industries
that use local material and make pay-
rolls so needed in every community.
Organized politicians raise cain with
unorganized business.
Some of our politicians would have
a change of heart. Capital comes
where it is invited and stays where
it is treated fairly.
No one wants to invest heavily in
sections where shifting political and
economic conditions are always linked
up with politicians who exercise tre-
mendous influence to put them out of
business.
Without the wage earners and folks
of the towns and cities as consumers
for products raised by our farmers,
they go back to the days of long ago
when the people raised onl yenough
for their own consumption and what
they could trade with their neighbors.

Industrial Possibilities of Texas
By COL. WM. E. TALBOT
In the midst of the titters of the
congregation ,a proud hen marched
sedately up the aisle of a church at Mt.
Sterling, O., into the choir loft and laid
an egg.
(Editor's Note;—Following is the seventh ot
a aeries of articles by Col. W. E. Talbot, agcncy
manager for the Southland Life Insurance Com-
pany and the prime mover in ihc campaign for
Texas industries, in which he discusses the possi'
bilities of Texas from an industrial standpoint,
answering the question: "What manufacturers
does Texas have and what can we profitably
manufacture?" Oth'jr articles will follow.)
STORY NO. 7
At the end or our campaign for
the governorship there vvus such a
demand for tile continuation of this
Texas Industries work that It was
continued under the name of the
Southwest Industrial Development
Bureau, with ail expenses absorbed
by myself, and at no cost to those
desiring Information. Over 220
speeches have beun made since last
August before luncheon clubs, cham-
bers of commerce meetings, and
mass meetings, showing our plan of
Southwest Development.

surance Company took over the ex-
pense incident to the management
of the bureau, and are sponsoring
its activities as a good will contri-
bution to the citizens of litis state.
With this added help it has enabled
us through our entire agency organ-
ization to materially bring about
the consummation of our plans, and
the success In building up our in-
dustries is far beyond anything that
was anticipated In August, 1980.
We are supplying today to any
merchant who desires it a complete
grocery list of Texas manufactured
food stuff, a complete list of men's
wear, from hats to shoes, women's
wear, and children's wear, products
for hardware stores, and furniture.

can obtain from us a complete list
of necessary materials produced
right here in Texas, with the ex-
ception of elevators.
We have a complete list of what
each county wants in the way of
new industries with surveys of pow-
er, raw material available, und mar-
kets. We also have a list of nat-
ural resources that have not yet
been developed. All this is obtain-
able at no cost to those interested.

WOMEN: watch your
BOWELS
What should women do to keep their
bowels moving freely'? A doctor should
know the answer. I'hat is why pure
Syrup Pepsin is so good for women. It
just suits their delicate organism. It is
the prescription of an old family doctor
who has treated thousands of women
patients, and who made a spccial study
of bowel troubles.
It is fine for children, too. They love
its taste. Let them have it every time
their tongues are coated or their skin
is sallow. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
is made from fresl. laxative"herbs, pure
pepsin and olhcr harmless ingredients.
-When you've a sick hcadacnc, can't
eat, arc bilious or sluggish ranch ut the
times v, lien you arc most apt to be
constipated, take a little of this famous
prescription (all drug stores keep it
ready in big bottles), and you'll know
why Dr. Caldwcli s Syrup Pepsin is the
favorite laxative of over 't million
women!
Who ever heard of a ghost walking
out into a brightly lighted room! They
just don't do such things. Gloom and
darkness are as essential to the well
being of a ghost as is moonlight to the
lovelorn. And this ghost of depression
is no exception to the rule. Then, to
keep it out of our kitchens it is ob-
vious that we must make them as
bright and cheerful as possible. Well,
that's easy.
First see that there is plenty of
light. Window curtains that will let
in the light and not shut out the out-
side view help in making the surround-
ings cheerful. Curtains give one of
the best opportunities to add color to
an otherwise colorless room. Those
in yellow, cream and plain with or-
ange dots seem to bring in most sun-
shine. Frequent launderings are nec-
essary if curtains are to be kept look-
ing fresh and bright. The daintiest
of light curtains will fail in produc-
ing a sunshine effect if they are hung
over a dark window shade. If a dark
shade is not worn and cracked, it may
be lightened by the use of a good
grade of flat wall paint.
Once before, several months ago,
I told you that "In every kitchen there
should be a lighting unit in a white
glass enclosure close to the ceiling, a
wall bracket or pendent lamp fixture
above the sink, and a lamp near the
range whose light will shine into the
oven. There should also be two or
more convenient outlets, so that it
will not be necessary to remove a lamp
from a socket when the percolator or
the electric iron is to be used."
In case the kitchen work table needs
a new covering, why not give it an in-
laid linoleum top. Linoleum which
matches the floor not only helps make
the kitchen attractive, but it has many
practical advantages besides. It is a
good surface to use for cutting bread
and it not harmed by moisture or hot
dishes. Moreover, it is a quiet surface
on which to work, and it is easily kept
clean.
A linoleum table cover should be
made with care. First, the linoleum
should be clean and dry. If it must
be washed, let it stand for several
hours or overnight. When it is dry,
brush over the surface a very light
coat of melted paraffin, then iron in,
with a warm iron, all the paraffin the
linoleum will absorb. If some paraffin
remains on the surface, quickly wipe
it up with a soft cloth before the wax
hardens. When the wax has cooled
a trifle, coat it with a good spar var-
nish. The unvarnished side of the lin-
oleum should be cemented to the ta-
ble top with water proof glue or the
cement that is used for cementing lin-
oleum to floors.
Last, but not least, we mention pots
and pans. Use lemon juice generously
to brighten up all those worthy of sal-
vaging and let the kiddies have the old
bent and battered ones to use for
drums. In replacing these worn out
ones, be sure to get others that are
durable and that are capable of giving
long service. Pans that have straight
sides, that stand on flat bottoms, and
that have close fLttingJjds are a good
investment, because they utilize every
bit of heat in the element. A smooth
well polished finish makes pans easy
to clean and protects the health of the
family against the menace of chips
and cracks where food particles be-
come lodged. A vessel with handles
that can be held without burning the
fingers are helpful to the disposition.
—But I won't keep you longer as I
know you are anxious to get started.

UTILITY COMPANIES ARE
DOING THEIR PART
To Relieve Depression
By continually making additional investment; to give you
better service, Utility companies are doing their part to relieve
depression and aid progress throughout the country.
Central Power And Light Company, in serving 184 communi-
♦ies in South and Southwest Texas, has ever strived to make
Electric Power available for use in advance of actual needs,
thereby accelerating the growth of this territory,
When this company undertakes to serve a community,
it invariably brings in new capital to purchase new equip-
ment, extend lines and improve service. Thus, Central Power
And Light Company voluntarily increases its investment
and pays additional taxes for roads, bridges, schools
and the maintenance of local government.
As this company's business has increased, however,
rates have been consistently brought DOWN, passing
on to the customer economies effected through
quantity production, large-scale distribution, compe-
tent management, and adequate financing.
This organization can advance only with tho
people it serves; therefore, Central Power And
Light Company, realizing now, more than ever, the
need of employment of people and increased
activity, is continuing its program of new con-
struction, without interruption, thereby showing
its faith and interest in the communities it serves.
