If you have one you'd Joan them won't you telehone Mrs. E. Po-well MeWbirter, chairman of registration, at 2-2849, so she can pick it up today? TO GIVE AWAY PRS.

H. HOUSER, 2207 Twenty fourth street, has some little puppies that are part Scottie, part bull dog, she wants to give to a little boy or girl. Mrs. T. A.

Mellroy of 1912 Texas avenue called us to say she has about two bushels of carmas, some honeysuckle and- a forsythia shrubs to give to "first come." We hope the ones wh take advantage of this gener- oils order will not act as a group did last year at a certain other place; tearing up bushes that-the still almost de- naanding other plants and acting ungrateful in general. a IT MIGHT WORK LEE, Southern Methodist university's able luresident and an excellent speaker on the side, told the We Want Action mass meeting in Fair Park auditorium a thing or three Sun- afternoon. We wish a similar meeting' could be arranged here and that Doctor Lee could address -it. It would make the evening qbout perfect if Karl Hoblitzelle, chairman of the committee on arrangements and who incident- is one of Tech college's new Agents, could preside. Sunday afternoon, if you happened to be near the radio and to KFYO, you may have heard the excellent suggestions given by Dr.

Lee. If not, The Woman's Angle would like to call your attention to one mattter he brought up; Washington might get more worthwhile legislation done if congressmen were allowed to call a moratorium on politics until the end of the war (plus six months as the army requires.) The Dallas speaker suggested we write to our congressmen and tell them as much. As he said it does not have to be in the fenguage of the flowers or a per- lumed note but written in. simple and a clear cut promise that if Washington will quit its peanut politics and get busy we ajid assure us of equipment for our forces, their constituents, will tfley are 'not subject7to high pressure groups or pork parrel appropriations for the duration. i At least it's worth thinking over, don't you agree?

I GARDENING DON'TS RE you planning to plant a Garden" this spring to supply part of your family's yegetable needs? If you are, do it sense, for this year there are no time or seeds or tools to waste on careless gardening. Here are a dozen don't for gardeners suggested by the U. S. J- 1.

Don't start what you can't finish. Count the work involved before you plant; an abandoned garden is a waste of seed, fertili zer, tools, labor. 2. Don't waste good seed on bad soil. City lots where soil is mostly and rubbish won't grow good gardens.

Places where weeds flourish are promising garden spots. 3. Don't work ground too soon. When a piece of earth will crumble apart as you hold or press it between your fingers, the soil is dry enuogh to cultivate, 4. Don't run rows up and down a hillside.

Rain will wash off seed and top soil if you do. 5. Don't use too much seed will come up too close together, need a lot of thinning, and you will have wasted good seed. 6. Don't plant too much of one thmg.

A variety of things is better than too much beans or tomatoes. 7, Don't let the pole beans black out the beets. All growing things need sun, so plant tall crops to the north, short ones to the south. 8. Don't wield too heavy a hoe.

Shallow cultivation is the rule for vegetable gardens for vegetable roots grow near the surface are easily injured by careless hoeing. 9. Don't spare the water. Light sprinkling brings roots up to the surface, thorough soaking pushes them down where they belong. Soak only when the ground is dry.

10. Don't let the weed crop win. Weeds will crowd out vegetables Wedding Rites Read For Four Couples. Announcement was made Monday of the wedding lites for Miss Laura Bell and Pfc. Burl M.

Pigg; Miss Joyce Simmons and Cpl. Ted R. Hersey; Miss Verna Jane Dunn and Buck Huckabee and Miss Vi- vip.n Opal Covington and L. Wayne Belt. Mr.
