COLLEGE STATION. — More
is spent for hosiery than
item, in the
clothing budget. Mary Routh, ex-
tension clothing specialist of Tex-
as A. & M. College, says the rea-
son may be due to the fact that
the size and kind of hosiery
bought nor to proper care and
laundering.
She says hosiery, just the same
as any other wearing apparel,
should be selected for the occas-
ion or for a particular use and
different type hose should be
used with different costumes. For
example, she says, ultra sheer
hose should be reserved for spec-
ial dress occasions because they
are too fragile for everyday use.
Sheer hose, on the other hand,
are suitable for both dress and
general wear, but are out of
place on people who are active in
sports and the like. Heavier
weight hose are appropriate for
household, active sports and win-
ter wear.
Price alone, says Miss Routh, is
not a guide to hosiery quality.
Some medium and low priced
hose may have the wearing quali-
ties sought while ether higher
priced hose may give poor ser-
vice because durability was sac-
rificed for shserness by the man-
ufacturer.

Gas Octane Limit
Coming-, But Won't
Affect Most Fuel
The government plans to issu*
an order sobn limiting the octane
ratings of motor gasoline, but of-
ficials say the action will not af-
fect the quality of most gasoline
sold now. ' r lA
The Petroleum Administration
for Defense said that the propos- , j
ed order would limit premium
grade motor fuel to an octane
rating of 90, intermediate grade
to a rating of 86, and regular
grade to 84.
Bruce K. Brown, deputy petro-
leum administrator, said the qual-
ity of most gasoline now sold
would not be affected because
the octane ratings already are
generally below those to be spe-
cified in the order.
The receipts from all sources,
of the United States government
for the fiscal year 1799-1800 were
$5,717,000.

Braden, Tenn.—A Texas fortune
may transform the lives of a
struggling tenant farmer and his
family of eight this year.
Peat Adkison, 51, Tuesday of
last week said he hoped—but
could not believe—that he will in-
herit a $75,000 Dallas hotel, 300
acres of land, and $40,000 in cash
securities.
He’s been sweating out that
pleasant possibility since last
spring when he received a letter
from a former network radio pro-
gram (the Court of Missing
Heirs.)
Adkison said the estate appar-
ently was left by his father, Jess
Adkison, who separated from his
wife in 1898, a month before Peat
was born.
“I never saw hiiifi,” said Adki-
son.

Take a look at this cost-of-living index from the U. S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
It shows that while most other items have gone up
and up, the cost of electricity is still below the 1935-1939
average. It actually costs less per kilowatt hour, on the
average, than pre-war!
We’re proud of this industry record, which has been
made possible by careful business management plus great-
ly increased use of electricity.
And you can rely on us to continue to do our best to
hold the line against inflation, although rising costs are
making the task more difficult all the time.
