2ND ANNUAL TEXAS DISTRICT
14 BAPTIST CONVENTION
IN WACO MARCH 20-21
Becoming
Democratic
ing on the theory that dis-
must be built upon the intel-
, sportsmanship, individuality
group cooperativeness of the
in the ranks, the Army last week
unced the abandonment of the
requiring saluting of officers
off post and made other changes in
custom in a new manual of courtesy
and discipline. Soldiers in mess halls
no longer Vill be required to stop
eating ajid sit at attention when an
officer enters. The Army is trying
for team-work.
Texas Town Makes
Rules For Boots
Viewing with alarm the fact that
virtually everybody around their sec-
tion of Texas was coming out in high-
heeled cowboy boots, the Madison-
vifle “Sidewalk Cattlemen’s Associa-
tion drew up the following regula:
tions: “A man must own at least two
head of cattle before he is entitled
to wear boots. Owner of three head
can stuff the right pants leg in.
Owner of four head can stuff both
pants legs in, and owner of six head
can wear spurs.”
Cheap Federal Insurance
Popular With Trainees
Since the first draftees entered
camp under the Selective Service Act,
they have taken out $500,000,000
worth of life insurance with the Fed-
eral Government. Its low rate and
the opportunity to convert it into or-
dinary of twenty or thirty pay life
insurance after one year has had its
weight. For a trainee who is 21 year-
old, the monthly rate per $1,000 is 65
cents, which is deducted from his pay.
The limit one person can acquire
while in the service is $10,000. After
a policy has been converted the rates
naturally increase. Many of the
trainees allot a certain portion of
their pay to relatives or dependents,
which the government handles for
them.

The greatest need of the Church is
for real consecrated members. Mem-
bers whose first loyalty is to Christ
and whose faithfulness to the Church
is greater than their devotion to any
other institution. When the Church
has members characterized with such
qualities, the world will have a great-
er admiration for our Lord, and cer-
tainly the Church will come to hold
that central place in the life of the
comniunity. The greatest evidence of
your profession of faith in Christ is
your faithful, every Sunday, atten-
dance upon the services of worship in
His name, and the way you respond
to the call that comes to render ser-
vice in his behalf.
The date for beginning our revival
is Sunday, July 13. Let our people
take note of this date and arrange
their work and vacations so as not
to conflict with this date.

HOUSTON, Mar. 1 —This is the
rule:
Persons too visibly intoxicated are
not permitted aboard commercial air
line planes.
Today a gentleman in such a con-
dition entered an airways office, seek-
ing passage to Chicago. The reserva-
tions clerk explained the rule, and
after some argument the man asked
for a typewriter, saying he would
prove he was not intoxicated.
He wrote the following:
“I’m not under alcofluence of
inklehol as some thinkle might peep
I be.”
