',’Miss Pry' Asks
For Pals' Snubs
By ALICIA HART
NBA Staff Writer
Miss Pry is the all-too-familiar
young lady who asks for the
snubs she receives by her imper-
tinent inquiries into* the private
affairs of her friends.
When she is introduced to a
teenage newcomer, Miss Pry im-
mediately starts a searching ex-
amination, aimed at finding out
how well off financially the
stranger is, in what type of busi-
iness her father engages, who
her beaux are and so on. Most
girls justifiably resent this type
of satisfy-my-curiosity examina-
tion and will display their resent-
ment by clamming up.
At college, Miss Pry feels per-
pertly at home in another girl's
room and doesn’t hesitate to
prove it by poking through clos-
ets, desks or bureau drawers.
The reward for her overfamiliar-
ity is the well-earned disapproval
of her classmates. The unfortu-
nate prospect for the Misses Pry
is that they usually don’t recog-
nize their own failings and that
they will continue to allow their
uncurbed curiosity to alienate
friends after they become more
mature ladies.

A woman may get a kit of sat-
isfaction out of having the repu-
tation for being a “perfect house-
keeper”. But maintaining the
reputation is usually hard on her
family. So many of the things
that make home life cheerful
and comfortable are nothing but
a nuisance to a perfect house-
keeper.
There are women who are so
concerned with the elimination
of dust and dirt they don’t even
pla
homes. Or, if they nave one they

Stirrer sticks make holders
for keeping earrings neatly
paired off and easy to reach
from dressing table drawer.
Stirrer Sticks
Make Jewel Bar
By Alicia Hart
XEA Staff Writer
Line up earrings on a little
bar of their own if you want to
keep these sparklers from strav-
ing from their mates or eluding
j your search for the right pair.
For your earring bar you can
use a stirrer stick or a slender
pencil. All you need to do to
keep earring mates together and
in plain view is to hook or slip
the pairs over the slender stick.
One stick, loaded with four or
five pairs of earrings can be laid
flat in a dressing table drawer.
If you need to use several bars
to organize your earring collec-
tion. you can line these up more
neatly and in less space by prop-
ping sticks across an open shal-
low box. Box sides may be
notched with scissors along the
edges to make grooves into
which ends of the sticks will
fit.

“To get a good foundation for
my impression of United States,
I am visiting Texas first,” was
the thought expressed Saturday
morning by Dr. G. J. Lubbers,
gynecology and obstetric special-
ist from Heerien, Holland, who
is visiting in the home of Dr.
and Mrs. R. O. Fuqua, 804 Jose-
phine street.
The tall
with iron gra;
distinguished
IV
ful hands, arrived
inguished man
hair and beauti-
in New York
on Feb. 20 by plane, having left
Amsterdam the day before. He
reached Dallas on Feb. 21, and
since that time has been touring
Texas.
“The Flying Dutchman,” as
Dr. Fuqua humorously referred
to him, became acquainted with
use it only on state occasions.
There are women who so hate
to see their floors tracked up,
their children can never have
their playmates in the house.
CLUTTER BUGS
There are women who dislike
clutter so much the family can’t
even spread the Sunday paper
out over the living room, or lay
down a magazine beside a chair
and find it there five minutes
later.
There are women who are so
concerned with having a place
for everything and everything in
its place, members of the family
can't enjoy hobbies. For hob-
bies usually create a certain
amount of disarrangement in a
house.
And there are women who are
such fiends for order and neat-
ness they don't want the chil-
dren to have a pet, and if even
they consent to a dog for the
kids it is on condition that it not
be allowed in the house.
These women usually have one
accomplishment in common.
They're almost always ‘‘perfect
housekeepers.”

WASHINGTON, (UP)— The
United States has offered to set
a ceiling price of $1.80 a bushel
on wheat exported under a pro-
posed long-term world wheat
pact, authoriative sources said.
These sources said the offer
is contingent upon agreement by
importing nations to take more
wheat under the pact than they
buy now.
Dr. Bill Fuqua of Dallas during
the war, while the latter was sta-
tioned in Holland.
—IQO-Dar Visit—
The visiting doctor is staying
100 days in the United States.
Since his arrival, he has visited
and observed operations at Bay-
lor and Parkland Hospitals in
Dallas. He has also visited in
Kilgore, Houston. Brownsville,
San Antonio, Austin and other
cities.
He is making a study of hos-
pitals, medicine and obstetrics
In this country. Before return-
ing home, he plans to visit nu-
merous other medical centers.
Front Texas he plans to go to
Evansville, Ind., and he also has
a special invitation to visit John
Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore,
Md., for as long as he cares to
stay.
—Expected Much—
In speaking of his visit to
West Texas, Dr. Lubbers stated
that he had expected much, hut
it was much more than he had
expected. ‘This is certainly a
wonderful and beautiful country.
In our country the farms are
small and our towns crowded in
comparison to this country.”
Dr. Fuqua took his guest for a
visit to the Carlsbad Caverns,
Wednesday and Thursday, he
watched cattle being branded at
the Lance Sears ranch near
Maryneal. Friday the two doc-
tors visited the J. D. Smith ranch
north of Rotan. where they fol-
lowed the feed truck for 27 miles
to 7 different feed pastures.
—Maternity Hospital—
In Heerien. Dr. Lubbers is di-
rector chief of a maternity hos-
pital and training school for mid-
wives and nurses. This is one
of three such hospitals in the
country under the socialized
medicine set-up of Holland.
Eighty percent of the births
are handled by mid-wives, who
receive a three-year training
course. Only the births that are
not normal come to the hospit-
als.
Dr. Lubbers stated that about
1500 babies are born each year
at his 250-bed hospital, and 11
rooms are devoted to pre-inature
babies with two to three cribs
to each room. The smallest to
be kept alive weighed 700 grams
at birth. When asked to translate
to pounds, out came a little red
book, and we were soon told it
was equivalent to one and a half
pounds.
—Pictures—
The visitor carries with him
aerial views of li is hospital,
school and home with surround-
iug grounds, woods and fields
visible.
He also has some pictures of
the visit made to the hospital
last April by Queen Julianna of
Holland.
Dr. Lubbers has a wife and
two children. Agnes, age 11, who
has been corresponding for sev-
eral years with her fellow Girl
Scout, Anna Lou Fuqua, and
Clemens, age 15. He has pic-
tures of each member of his fam-
ily, whom he states he plans to
send to Texas next year for a
visit.
He plans to leave by plane to-
day for Dallas.
