J. M. Hutcheson. Prop.
One of the hardest problems that
face young married people is that
of liow to “handle the family in-
come.”
Mrs. Eloise Johnson, extension
family life education specialist of
Texas A. & M. College, says that
recent study made by the Michigan
State College found, that spending
the family income in the wisest way
I was a problem that took the long-
est time for families to work out.
Half of the people interviewed were
able to work out a satisfactory ar
’rangement, but the other half said
It took months or years—and some
never did agree.
Miss Johnson believes that the
reason lies in the fact that often the
[young people are not taught the wise
use of money while they are young,-
and then are faced with tlie prob
lem when they marry, .at a time
when they are confronted with many
other problems of adjustment.
“It takes most of us a lifetime to
learn the basic principles of earn-
ing, saving, spending and enjoying
money,' 'she says. “So the earlier
one starts to learn, the better. Too
many young people grow up without
any independence in using money.
Some are kept entirely dependent up-
on their parents, not only for money,
hut for every decision as to how the
I money is to be used. Such depend-
ence is poor background for mature
judgment when young ix'ople leave
home.”
She points out that children can be
included in the family plans for the
use of the money at a very early
age. They can be helped to under-
that, they have a share In the fami-
ly money and the family. “Their
judgment in the use of money at the
age of three, for instance, is not the
best, hut they learn from example
and even more from crperjence.
Wise money habits can fjd built, if
children understand and actually
take part in the planning for earning,
spending, saving and sharing the
family money.”
LITTLE FERRY, N. J.-A duck
named “Dopey,” which meets its
young mistress at the bus, finally
has taken its first swim in four
years.
Miss Diane Zimmerman has been
trying ever since she acquired
Dopey as a duckling to interest him
in the water.
Dopey demurred.
But the reluctant duck finally flew
through an open window, and, when
found, apparently had overcome his
fear of the water. He was riding
serenely in Willow lake.
It took an hour to coax him out.

The “dog-days” of the mid sum-
mer months originally derived their
names from the prevalence of rabies
spread from rabid dogs at that sea-
son of the year, but actually rabies
occur at all times of the year. Dur-
ing the past year, the state health
laboratory found 847 animal brains
positive or ramies. Four deaths oc-
curred in humans.
Thfc ' State Health Officer status
"few people need to he warned that
rabies is a fatal disease yet proper
precautions against its spread are
often neglected. Stray dogs should
be humanely destroyed or impounded
and all house hold pets should be
vaccinated. Annual vaccination ef-
lciently practiced will stamp out
rabies iu Texas.”
The health officer stressed this fact
as important: A dog suspected of
being rabid should not be killed at
once, but should be kept confined
for ten days, since this Is the Infec-
tive period before death of the ani-
mal. If the dog does not develop
rallies within ten days, the indi-
vidual bitten is safe as far us that
paarticular bite Is concerned. Furth-
er observation of the animal should
be at the dicreation of the veterin-
arian. since many other conditions re-
semble rabies.
The head of the suspected animal
should be packed in Ice and sent to
the State Department of Health for
examination. Freezing the brain or
killing the dog premautrely or in such
manner as to injured the brain may
make correct laboratory findings im-
possible.
Mere handling of a rabid animal
is not sufficient reason for treatment,
as scratches by the animal's paws
do not ordinarily constitute expos-
ure.. It should he understood that
rabies is transmitted only through
exposure to saliva whjch gains en-
trance into the body wound, ordi-
narily through a bite.
Clerk Gambles U. S.
Funds on Horses;
Loss: $40,000
LOS ANGELES.—A sad story of
afternoons playing the races and
nights worrying about his losses
followed the surrender of a trusted
postal clerk.
Andred A. Benson, 40, chief clerk
at the Inglewood, Calif., post office
and a 20-year veteran of the serv-
ice, acknowledged embezzlement of
$40,000 in government funds to How-
ard V. Calverly, U. S. commission-
er, with the statement, "I couldn’t
believe any man could lose so con-
sistently.”
Benson said he wound up "with-
out a dime” when Hollywood park,
located in Inglewood, closed. Lee
Miller, postal inspector, said Ben-
son surrendered and declared:
“The horses got me. I couldn't
sleep or eat. I knew the federals
would pick me up some day, so
after Hollywood closed I decided to
give myself up and get it over
with.”
Married and the father of a child,
Benson is held in default of $2,500
bond for a federal grand jury. In
his county jail cell, he said:
“I was a $2 punter when Santa
Anita opened. Gradually I in-
creased my bets to $5 and $10 on
the nose. My luck was bad, I got
in the hole worse and worse. I
tried to get out by playing long
shots. They lost. I bet big sums
on favorites. They also lost.”
He said $1,000 was his largest
bet, but he couldn’t remember the
horse's name. He did remember,
however, that it lost.
The $3,900-a-year clerk said he
was $22,000 in the hole at the start
of the last week of racing at Holly-
wood park and in a desperate effort
to “get even,” took $18,000 more of
the postal receipts and lost it all.
"I juggled the accounts to cover
my defalcations,” inspectors quoted
him. "Now it’s all gone, along with
my reputation.”

Rocket Mail Delivery Not
Recognized by Postmaster
TRONA, CALIF.—The rocket mail
didn’t go through.
Youthful scientists sent eight
rockets loaded with 4,200 letters
soaring a mile across dry Searles
lake practically into the Trona post-
master’s lap.
But that functionary, Don B. Mac-
Pherson, refused to accept the mail
for sending because it bore stickers
resembling U. S. stamps.
Sponsors of the rocket experi-
ment, Reaction Research Society of
Glendale, said they had stamped all
envelopes “not U. S. postage" as
instructed by U. S. District Attor-
ney James Carter of Los Angeles.
The rockets are of stainless steel,
11 feet long and 3 inches slim. Their
testers, mostly junior college phys-
ics students, claim - they go 400
m.p.h. and 4,000 feet high. The
young scientists foresee a future
transcontinental rocket mail serv-
ice.
But somebody had better tell the
postmasters first.

Heat leakage costs money and wastes

Toothless Boy, 12, Gets
Third Set ofTalse Teeth
DES MOINES.—Twelvei-year-old
Tommy Black of Shenandoah, Iowa,
is having his third set of false teeth
made.
The strange case of Tommy—
who never has had a tooth of his
own—was told at the Iowa Dental
society convention by Dr. Joy A.
Rotton of Shenandoah.
Dr. Rotton said he fitted Tommy
with his first set of dentures when
the lad was only eight years of age.
Before getting his first dentures,
Tommy could eat only soft foods.
“Now he eats apples, corn on the
cob and anything he wants,” Dr.
Rotton said.
He added he never heard of an-
other child so young with a full
set of false teeth.

Trapped Bull in Silo Gives
Farmer a Baffling Problem
NEW HAMPTON, IOWA.-Farm-
er Orvin Knutson has a two-horned
dilemma at the bottom of his silo.
A 1,200-pound Guernsey bull fell
into the pit, and Knutson doesn’t
know what to do about it.
Along with a nice set of horns,
the critter has such a mean dispo-
sition that Knutson doesn’t want to
descend into the narrow confines to
attach hoisting belt3.
He said it would cost more than
the animal is worth to knock an
exit hole through the silo walls. Bu$t;
the animal has not been fattened*’
for slaughtering, he added.
Besides, Knutson has three feet
of silage which would be spoiled in
the killing. j
