THEY’D BETTER HURRY
COLLEGE STATION, June 6.
*—Eligible families who haven’t
yet applied for mattress making
materials under the Department
of Agriculture's program for aid-
ing low-income farm families
should do so soon or they may
lose their opportunity to partici-
pate.
This warning has been sounded
by Mildred Horton, Vice direc-
tor and state home demonstration
agent of the A. and M. College
Extension Service, who points out
that June 30 is the deadline for
ordering cotton and ticking for
the demonstration program from-
the Federal Surplus Commodi-
ties Cooperation. That means,
then, that all applications should
be filed several days prior to the
deadline date.
Although sufficient eotthn and
ticking to make 73,770 mattresse's
had been ordered (by the state
AAA office through the last week
in May, there arq still thousands
of eligible families in Texas who
have not yet taken advantage of
the plan, Miss Horton explains.
She indicated that in some coun-
ties community canvasses by
home demonstration club women
and other local means of inform-
ing the public about the program
will likely be employed in the
remaining weeks before the clos-
ing date.
Already 146 Texas counties
haye been approved for partici-
pation in the program, and cot-
ton has been shipped by the FS-
CC to 49 counties. Figures releas-
ed by the AAA indicate that 7,-
377 bales of cotton and 738,000
yards of ticking have been order-
ed for use by Texas farm families
with a gross cash income of less
than $400 for 11)39.
Miss Sharp—Love is blind,’they
say.
Playfoot—Yes, that must be
why we see so many spectacles
in the park.
AVERAGE LIFE SPAN
OF AMERICANS RAISED
NEW YORK, June 4.—Ameri-
cans are now adding 3% months
a year to their lives—and thus
have raised the average life span
in this country to 62.78 years.
The figures are from the statis-
tical bulletin of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance' Company, out
Monday. In 1938, the bulletin
states, the gain in the average
length of life was 1.3 years in
the one cjalendar year. Fig'ures
for 1939 are not available, but
the bulletin says “current indica-
tions are- that the figures for the
two years will be very close to-
gether. ’ ’
The 62.78 average Avas for the
general population, including
both Avhites and negroes. Referr-
ing to Avhite persons 'alone, the
bulletin said the gains brought
the average life of an American
man to; 62.12 years, of American
women to 66.20 years.

graduates was made. We be-
lieve,” he said, “that all the gra-
duates are deserving of an oppor-
tunity and Ave are glad there is

Mumford, June 6.—Determined
to get a definite commitment
from every legislative candidate
on the question of natural re-
source taxes to pay social securi-
ty obligations, the [Women's Com-
mittee on Economic Policy for
Texas today laid doAvn the first
barrage of a drive for fulfillment
of its legislative program, Mrs.
Jud Collier of Mumford, chair-
man, announced.
Instructions have been mailed
to 1,000 Texas women leaders,
asking them to get a frank, un-
equivocal statement from all leg-
islative candidates as to Avhether
they favor an increase of natur-
al! resource taxes to pay old age
pensions to the needy and to fi-
nance the teachers’ retirement
program, Mrs. Collier declared
“We have prepared a special
questionnaire which these Avomen
leaders will have all candidates
sign, and these signed forms will
be returned to state headquarters
for compilation, ’ ’ she pointed
out.
“We are standing by our mot-
to, ‘We Are Tired of Nonsense.’
We mean business in this drive
for just taxation. We think our
own social security needs should
be financed by reasonable taxes
on our natural resources which to-
day floAv in an unending stream
to other states and to Germany,
Italy, and Japan.
‘ ‘ The only way to lay the
groundAvork for such a drive in
the next Legislature is to get a
signed commitment from all legis-
lative candidates noAV. The wo-
men of Texas are going to get
these commitments, and then they
are going to elect candidates who
stand for this form of taxation,”
Mrs. Collier asserted.

According to Avord received by
Postmaster W. C. PoAvers, an au-
thorizied ijncre'ase of 9,000 men
for the U. S. Marine Corps has
been approved by Congress,
bringing the strength of the
Corps up to 34,000. These men
will be used, in addition to bring-
ing the present regiments up to
peace time allowance, for the fol-
loAving: one Infantry Regiment,
tAAm Defense Battalions, and 1,500
men to increase the guards at
'Navy Yards .
The Defense Battalions are a
new type of unit intended for
the temporary defense of <a small
■base, an island base for example.
They provide an antiaircraft de-
fense, having 12 3-inch guns; 48
.50-caliber antiaircraft machine
guns; 48 .30-caliber machine
guns, and 6 5-inch guns for use
against surface vessels. Only 750
men are used in such a battalion.
It is a most powerful unit.
The opportunity afforded by
this increase will be grasped by
many young men physically and
