What the Average Person
On Vacation Prefers
In a nation-wide survey of tour-
ists, the following facts were found
to exist: The average American on
vacation prefers to travel by automo-
bile and to stop at a hotel; his trip
lasts about three weeks and he se-
lects his travel objectives as he goes.
He chooses good roads rather than
great scenery; he has a distinct pre-
dilection for visiting old haunts and,
by and large, he prefers comfort and
safety to speed. The Northeastern
States rank first in popularity be-
cause of good roads and accessibility.
Friendliness and beautiful scenery
cause the Western States to rank
second.
Odds and Ends From
Around the World
Higher retail automobile prices ap'
pear inevitable for 1938 due to ris-
ing cost of materials and labor.
The only Negro congressman filed
suit against the Pullman Company
last week for being ejected from a
pullman compartment in Arkansas
Henry T. (Dick) Merrill last
week made his second successful
round trip between New York and
London. . . The American Bible Soci-
ety announced that in 1936 it distrib-
uted 7,767,311 Bibles; this included
Bibles in 16 languages. . . Herbert
Hoover is catching up with times—
he asked the government to appro-
priate $15,000,000 for boys’ clubs lo-
cated in numerous cities.

Ceremony Celebrates
Ruler’s 25th Year
il six-foot-six King of Denmark,
X, celebrated very simply
25th year as ruler of peaceful
rk. The ceremony reminds one
' honors that students might pay a
ived university president. A torch-
gag ugnt procession of 4,000 students
marched to the King’s palace and
serenaded the King and his royal
guests. People had gathered from
many miles around to dance to band
music in the great town square in
Copenhagen. At night each house put
a candle in every window to honor
.—their King; the sight of a light in
every window throughout the country
proved indeed to be a moving tribute.
Mourners Dessert Body
To Ride on Carrousel
The boom in cotton raising on the
island of Ometepe in Lake Nicaragua
has suddenly turned the minds of the
native growers to pleasure-hunting.
A merry-go-round recently set up is
enjoying a large trade. So far has
this tendency gone that a funeral was
held up recently so that the mourn-
ers could enjoy themselves. The way
to the cemetery led by the merry-go-
round, and when the procession ar-
rived in front of it there was a halt.
The funeral party left the body by the
road until all had partaken of the
amusements. Then they resumed
procession and proceeded with
burial.

Ancient Civilization Brought
To Light in Long-Lost City
Southwestern Mexico has become
one of the most promising places for
archeological discoveries. There are
many findings here that are fast re-
vealing America’s past. The area
showing more promise in its field
than did the discovery of King Tut’s
tomb. Already there has been estab-
lished the fact that a highly devel-
oped civilization with its own pecu-
liar forms of worship, a calendar,
luxurious baths, and dances existed
here even before Christ. As the work
on a better idea of the early
» the American continent is ex-
pected to be brought out.

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGIS

TEXAS:
Section 1. That Article III of the
Constitution of the State of Texas be
amended by adding thereto a Section
to be known as Section 51d, which
shall read as follows:
“Section 51d. Subject to the limi-
tations and restrictions herein con-
tained, and such other limitations,
restrictions, and regulations as may
be provided by law, the Legislature
shall have the power to provide for
assistance to destitute children under

See. 2. The foregoing Constitu-

for the continuance of existing ser-
vices of the University of Texas Di-
vision of Extension and for the res-
toration of the drastic cuts made in
the Extension budget in 1932 has
been asked by the University Board of
Regents. Dean T. H. Shelby, present-
ing the Division’s case to the House
Committee on Appropriations, has
called attention to the fact that the
cut in this division during the depres-
sion was 36 per cent, which he esti-
mates was the most drastic decrease
in apprepriations of any branch of
the State government.
The sum of $100,400 a year is asked
for financing the Division’s activities.
Dean Sheby explained to the com-
mittee that the two functions of the
Division of Extension are formal
teaching, for most of which credit is
given towards University degrees,
and service-of a cultural and educa-
tional nature to the public schools
and people of the State. The formal
teaching, he said, is equivalent to a
full-time full student load of more
than three hundred students, many
of whom are on the advanced or grad-
uate level.
He described the informal service
given the people of the entire state
through the several service bureaus.
Club programs were prepared for 125
women’s clubs each year of the bi-
ennium with an enrollment of ap-
proximately 2,600 women, he said.
Instructional work was extended to
about one thousand teachers and
leaders in industrial organizations,
who in turn extended this service to
thousands of individuals.
Package library service on topics of
current interest averages approxi-
mately 35,000 libraries each year. For
the biennium just passed, this mate-
rial was used in 1,351 Texas towns in
251 counties.
Nutrition and health education
work consisted of studies in health
problems of school children, supply of
literature to teachers, conducting a
state-wide conference on Child Health
and Protection for all State agencies,
more than 30 in all, having a health
program, classes in parental educa-
tion and lectures on health topics to
special groups. Extensive studies on
causes of absence of school children,
accidents among school children and
school service systems in sixty-two
Another service to public schools
was given through the Bureau of Pub-
lic School Interests. Through the work
of this bureau more than twenty con-
tests of state-wide scope were con-
ducted through the University Scho-
lastic League, of which nearly six
thousand Texas schools were mem-
bers. Approximately one million stu-
dents attended these schools and ap-
proximately 400,000 of these pupils
participated in League contests. In
other words, more than one-fourth of
all children enrolled in public schools
in Texas participated in League con-
tests.
Visual instruction material was
furnished by the Bureau of Visual In-
struction to more than 33,000 groups,
including school classes, and these ex-
hibitions were attended by morejthan
four million individuals. These mate-
rials consisting mainly of slides and
films are educational in nature and
are designed to supplement class
teaching in the schools.

“Persian lamb,” which has nothing
at all to do with Persia, comes from
karacul Iambs three to ten days old.
It has a tight, lustrous curl from the
time the lambs are born. The curl is
likely to open rapidly after the first
day and while the value increases
with the size of the pelt, it is essen-
tial that the curl remain tight.
