G. W. CROSS, Editor.
Entered at the postoffiee at Alt. Pleas-
ant, Texas, as secondclass mail matter
All obituaries, resolutions of respect,
•ards of thanks, etc., will be charged
for at regular rates.
It never has seemed fair that
i the person who goes a-traveling
should get not, only the trip but a
lot of presents besides! However,
since that is the way it is, the only
thing to do is to bid our friends
, god-speed as they depart on train,
boat, auto and even aeroplane,
■ and give them some token of our
1 good wishes.
The traveling set for a suitcase
j shown here will be greatly appre-
1 dated by the experienced traveller
who realises the comfort and con-
| vcnience of correct packing. It
consists of an open case for frocks
j and blouses, a pair of shoe cases,
; wash-cloth case and handkerchief
; holder. The entire set can be
j made for so little as fifty cents as
the only materials required are
two used flour bags, two bolts of
' bias tape and a small piece of
| gum rubber for lining the wash-
cloth case.
The bags are bought at a local
baker Tor a few cents each. The
stamping is removed by covering
1 it with lird or kerosene and wash-
ing out in lukewarm water after
it has stood a few honrs. This
material is particularly good as it
is soft, light weight and easily
tubbed.
The blouse case is simply a
strip of the material 36x22 Inches,
bound all the way round with the
tape. Tics of the tape are fas-
tened at one edge and slipped
through loops sewed about six
Inches down on the other end of
the "case, so as to be adjustable.
This case will be a groat aid In
keeping the clothea mb wrinkled.
The washcloth cam Is made of
a strip 6x10 laches and Is lined
with the gum rubber. The button
and loop or snap fastener should
be put on before lining and cover
are bound together with the tape.
The shoe cases hold one shoe
each. They are made out of two
pieces of goods as Bhown in the
illustration. The larger piece is
17 inches long, the smaller 12. It
is 6 inches across at the
opening.
A strip of the flour bag ma- i
terlal 8x12 will make a handker- j
chief case 6x8 inehes. A tiny in-1
side pocket with sachet is a
thoughtful addition.
While simplicity is much to be
desired in these cases, a little1
handwork may be added, such as;
working the owner's initials in
cros| stitch.
Chinese Sell Girls
In Famine Distrtict
__-' ‘ • _ j
Shanghai, Sept. 24.—Marriageable ‘
girls of the famine area along the Chi- ;
hli border in Northeast Shantung are
being sold in Shansi as a means of j
relieving the distress fn thousands of j
homes, said Carl Bakei\ of New York, |
who returned Monday from his sec- I
ond inspection of the district. J
Mr. Baker said that Shansi was the j
best market for marriageable girls :
because of a shortage of women
there since the famine of 1920-21, i
when Shansi women were sold. He
said that some girls are bringing as
much as $200 in gold. ■
He found the population of the ;
famine area suffering as much dis- j
tress as when in August grasshop- •
pers formed one the principle articles j
of diet. i

morning from a

returned Tuesday I
visit to Texarkana :
TN our homes, there always seems
A to be an attic room where the
walls arc broken by the shape of
the roof. There, trunks, old cast-
off furniture and all the accumu-
lated rubbish of years is usually
accommodated. What a pity! Be-
cause there is a charm and uncon-
vent tonality about an attic room,
with the walls sloping hither and
yon, that appeals to the imagina-
tion and how useful an extra hed-
room would be in most families.
The use of wallpaper is most
important in a room of this type.
Plain walls attract the eyes to the
structural faults, but with a flow-
ery all-over design, only the whole-
charming effect is observed.
The above drawing is of an at-
tic room that has been transformed
into a dainty young girl’s room, by
choosing a very inexpensive paper
and by judicious use of the paint
brush. The wallpaper has conven-
tioral bunches of flowers in blue,
rose and gold, with apple green
leaves, on a light background. The
regular diamond shapes are in a -
slightly darker tone than the back- •
6rmmd- .....
The bedroom furniture is com-
posed of odd pieces painted French
blue to match the flowers in the
design. The curtains and bed
spread are of rose lioen. On the
dark stained floor, hooked rugs in
blue and rose are scattered about
and the lampshades of rase silk
shed a soft glow over the room.
How much more sensible it ia
to utilize a room in this way. With
a very ^tnall outlay, a bedroom can
be rreat«d that will give the great-
est jov to the lucky possessor.

j submission to the next session of the
Legislature a hill especially designed
to emphasize the teaching of the
Constitution in the public schools of
Texas; v i
The fact that instruction in govern-
ment has drifted far from the funda-
mentals and into sociological fields,
as noted hy Superintendent Marrs, is
given as a reason for this special ef-
fort to bring instruction back to the
basic things.
Whether a law making specific re-
quirements will accomplish more than
well-considered appeal to the ed-
ucational leaders of Texas is a ques-
tion which the State official is better
able to answer. . Certainly . a thor-
ough teaching of the Constitution is
greatly to be desired, and by any
means, legal or otherwise, that will
yield improvement in methods and
assure more intensive instruction
would serve Texas and the
Texans well.
What will serve best, at the last,
is the teacher who can make the
study interesting. The inspired
teacher could interpret the Constitu-
tion as the living thing that it is,—
