Rotarians Enjoy
Splendid Program
Fred Hammell. "Mine Host,” at
Casa Ricardo, also a Rotarian by na-
ture and by viriue of livtu* up to its
precepts as well as also carrying a
regular card which cost him a few
sheckels, was program leader at
Tuesday’s Rotary lunch, and by vir-
tue of being fortunate enough to se-
cure the assistance of several real
stars, pulled a real program. Miss
Stella Flato who, though yet a
school girl, is fast gaining an envia-
ble reputation in musical circles, most
pleasantly entertained with musical
selections, Mrs. J. J. Arthur, promin-
ent in club circles, amused and enter-
tained the Rotarians and visitors with
a discussion of “Man and Woman,”
Dor Tuson, who whenever the oppor-
tunity presents itself, has something
good for Rotary and Rotarians, made
a nice littlo talk, and Dr. Wll John-
son of Galveston, who is conducting
,t series of revival services at the
Presbyterian church, made a, most
pleasing, entertaining and instructive
Rotary talk, basing his subject upqjn
Rotary motto, “Service HeforV-
Self.” but taking a most unusual view-
point.
Features you would expect to
find only in higher priced cars
Fong semi-elliptic springs—dry plate disc clutch, re-
quiring no lubrication—extra strong rear axle with
banjo-type housing—beautiful Fisher bodies on closed
models—all models finished in beautiful colors of Duco
—one piece VV type windshield on closed models!
These are but a few of the quality features of construc-
tion of the new Chevrolet—features that you would ex-
pect to find only on high priced cars.

WOMANS’ CLUB
7'he Art Department of the Wom-
ans’ Club met In the beautiful hew
home of Mrs, It. B. Cousins Monday
afternoon.
Mrs. Phillips, chairman, presided,
with Mrs. Beck, her secretary beside
her.
During the business hour Mrs. Mof-
fett read a letter from Mrs. G. E.
Sims, city clerk, saying that tho City
Commissioners had taken under ad-
visement the request made by the
Womans Club for a water rate reduc-
tion during the summer months in
order that yards and lawns he better
kept, thereby beautifying our little
city.
Mrs. Larsen reported that the pic-
ture “Home Sweet Home" would he
shown at Kings Inn on March 11th
and 12th. This is a picture gotten out
by the management of the Better
Homes Campaign and is well worth
seeing.
Mrs. Arthur reminded us of the
Texas Day Program on March 2nd at
Mrs. Mull’s and the Peace Program
on March 0th at Mrs. Brinson’s undor
the direction of Mrs. Gaskell. Both
these programs will be very line.
Mrs. Woods read a letter from the
chairman of the Fifth District, urging
the club to write our Congressmen
protesting against the cutting of the
appropriation for th** Girls Industrial
Home.
Mrs. Arthur’s Parliamentary drill
followed. Her subject was “Commit-
tees" and as usual we benetitted from
being brought back to line- parlimen-
tarlly.
The department then attended to
the business of electing new officers
for the next two years. Mrs. Woods
was made chairman, Mrs. Larsen vice
chairman and Mrs. Shields secretary-
treasurer. These officers were the
unanimous choice of the membership
and we are sure much good work will
he accomplished under their leader-
ship.
Mrs. Phillips then explained that
Mrs. Frede was the whole program for
the afternoon, adding that as she is
a host within herself, the program
must needs be excellent—and it was.
Mrs. Freda’s subject, Art Centers
of America, amounted to our Club
studies of the past two years, in a
nutshell, in that we have studied
American artists, and that most of
their works hang in the art centers
of America. These museums Mrs.
Frede took separately, giving first a
little history of their foundation,
building and management, following
with a brief description of some of
these pictures and all of these artists
have been included In our study and
to have their best work reviewed and
located was indeed a treat for us all.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
In N. Y.. with its separate collections
of the Dutch, Italian, Flemish, En
glish and Freieh schools, and its late '
J. Pierpont Morgan collection, was j
first discussed. Then tho Peansylvan- j
iA Academy of Fine Arts, Boston Art '
Gallery, Concern Art Gallery in Wash- i
j ingtou and tho Chicago Art Institute J
were all handled in brief but inclus- i
i ive descriptions.
Mrs. Arthur spoke of Houston's |
new art museum. Then followed the
round table discussion, which con-
cluded a most interesting program. .
Tho Philanthropic Department will j
meet with Mrs. Finnegan next Mon- j
day afternoon. Subject “Women in !

THE METING POT
(Concluded from first page)
Owniug to absence of the President
the P. T. A. was called to order by
first vice-president, Mrs. Weeks, in
East Ward school building.
The Lord’s prayer was repeated by
all. Then a most excellent program
was rendered by the pupils of the
school. More of this sort of work is
needed in our schools and these young
people show result of training by Miss
Eugenia Baird. The program was thor-
oughly enjoyed.
The talk by Mrs. Larsen on Con-
servation of Trees, Birds and Flow-
ers was splendid. Could we ourselves
but realize and bring to full under-
standing of our children the outcome
of ruthless slaughter of our forests,
the killing of our birds and our beau-
tiful wild flowers, we would stop this
w’aste and begin to protect that which
God has given us to make our glorious
world more beautiful.
Business was next attended to.
I Roll call resulted in:
East Ward. 3rd grade, 6 present.
C. II. Flato, 3rd grade, 5 present.
High school, 11th grade, 7 present.
Mrs. Ellis announced the Washing-
ton Tea to be given at Flato school
, February 20tli and invited everyone.
Decided we should arrange to have
meetings at high school, but no defin-
ite time decided upon.
Mr. Hutto announced dates of the
j Teachers Association. March 19. 20,
21. No definite arrangements as to
! program and entertainment had been
! made, but soon committees would be
J appointed to arrange all matters.
As chairman of membership drive
j was absent no report was made.
Treasurer reported $68 balance in
I the bank.
i No further business, meeting ad-
i journed to meet at C. H. Flato, Jr„
school on February 20th.

Kingsville had better watch its
pace, and not idle along like the hair
in the tortoise story. It might turn
out that way. Odem is going to build
a real park, right away. Plaus have
already been drawn, which includes
a tourist park equipped with shower
baths, Dutch oven, a cooking house,
tables, walks, and shell driveways on
the north side, with a children's play-
ground with sand piles and awnings,
swings, a basket hall court, a croquet
ground, a quoits ground and a foun-
tain in the center of the park proper.
The plan includes a border of hack
berry trees, native trees of that sec
tion, which will enclose the grounds.
Citizens are reported to be very on
thusiastlc over the project, one man
offering a $25 prize to fie person
growing better roses on a plot of
ground in the park. Kingsville has
several parks sites, but certainly not
a single park. The town has a stop
ping place for toturists; it couldn't be
truthfully called much more. It may
be all right to pass such things up,
hut evidently other places, big and
little don’t think so.
