an invasion seems deferred at least
until spring. At the rate Britain is
now bettering its condition to cope
with the enemy the chance for an in-

does now, and in the end Mr. Hitler
may join the Kaiser in his wood-chop-

The end of Tom Mix’s life came
Saturday as suddenly as it had been
colorful. The “shootin’ tootin’ ” ca-
reer of this famous movie star had
enthroned him in the hearts of many
American boys as their ideal. Glitter
and glamour have a great attraction
for children, both male and female,
who, in their mature years come to
realize that there is not much to it.

( Recently E. C. Chapman of this
j city advertised that he had a stray
calf at his home. Tuesday Mr. Wells
of the Navo community came and
got the calf. He explained to Mr.
Chapman that some of his negro cot-
tonpickers visited some colored
friends near Denton. The friends near
Denton had other negro friends in
the vicinity of Denton, whom they
visited and while there were told that
the group they were visiting had
heard the man for whom they were
working say he had noticed the calf
advertisement in the Record. Round-
about way, but got results.

Locating Cause of Puncture
Here is a quick and safe method
of locating a tack, nail or piece of
glass that has caused a flat tire.
After the tube has been removed
from the tire, take a rag and run it
around the inside of the tire. No
matter how slightly the tack point
protrudes, it will catch on the
threads of the cloth. Closer exam-
ination of the spot will remove the
object, he says. This method will
prevent cut hands, the result of try-
ing to locate the tack with the fin-
gers. It also saves time spent in
searching the tire by the slow proc-
ess of spreading and examining each
section.
First House of Correction
The Bridewell, established in Lon-

of ridding the towns of vagabonds
and beggars.
