A program of industrial development
centers around the manufacture of
finished products
LOCATED in all sections of Texas, 141 refineries
-manufacture into finished petroleum products 80 per cent
of the State’s crude oil production.
In contrast, Texas processes only'3 per cent of its cotton
production and none of its wool or mohair.
Petroleum refining now constitutes 41 per cent of the value
of all Texas manufactures.
Of the 225.0G0 Texans regularly employed by the oil
business of the State, 25,000 skilled workmen and
5,000 office employees (a $50,000,000 annual payroll)
are employed in this one division of our oil industry.
All of the Texas oil refined in our State, whether used in
Texas or shipped to other states, paid last year in taxes
an average of 9.8 cents per barrel.

WATCH FOR FIRE TRAPS
‘‘For twenty years I have tra-
veled 25,000 miles annually in fire
prevention work. Each year I am
astonished how frequently luck
plays the major role in safeguard-

numbers. In far too many cases,

Miss Sydna Yokley, honored by The American Magazine as the “No. 1
Ranch Girl of the Nation,” enrolled as a freshman in Texas Christian
University at midyear. Sydna’s chief classroom interest is home economics;
her chief extracurricular interest horseback riding. “I just can’t imagine
’being alive and not riding!” Sydna says. So she brought along her
favorite mount—Cinnamon—and has him quartered in stables nearby the
Horned Frog campus. She and her father are joint owners of the Lazy-L,
Ranch near Canadian, Texas. Sydna stayed out of college last fall (shei
graduated from Canadian High last spring) in order to accept a starring!
role in the Madison Square Garden Rodeo in New York City. “I like
Texas better!” is Sydna’s evaluation of the bright lights.

Electrical appliciances, it’s too bad to spoil the effect with a
maze of cords. What she needs is more conveniently placed
