Alert, knowing, up-anddoing daughters
OF today are welding potent punch in the
family buying councils! They can tell you
just what is the smartest thing to wear as well
as the newest way to furnish the spare bed
room. They can tell you where to buy the
prettiest frocks and what color to paint the
breakfast room. And the source of much
of their information, here in Washington,
is the advertising in The STAR!
Miss Seventeen" usually makes rush
for "the section with the ads in it, right
after dinner every evening! And she has
clever way--not to mention a possible
motive-of calling mothers attention to
"these pretty new criss-crosS curtains for my
room,' or "this lovely new chair for the
living room to take the place of that old
one that has always looked so terribly"

Daughters

There's no denying the influence she wields,
either, for after while there will be new
curtains in her bedroom and new chair
in the living room.
That's all quite as it should be, however.
The daughter of today is living in an era of
rapidly changing conditions. She has to
keep up with the times in order to keep up
with her friends. She must not only know
what to wear, but WEAR it, if possible, even
before it gets to the point of becoming
widespread vogue!
And what she doesn't know about clothes,
motor cars, radios, home-furnishings and
the best things to give as bridge prizes. she
readily finds out by reading the advertising
in The STAR! In fact. she reads it not
only for the knowledge it gives her, but to
confirm that which she has picked up from
less reliable sources!

Valley Flying
Club Planned

HARLINGEN, Feb. 14.-Definite
plans for the formation OF n Valley
flying club are expected to be formu-
lated at a meeting which has been
called for next Saturday night at the
Reese Wii-Mond hotel here. Jack
Thompson and WI. b. Benton are
sponsoring the movement, in which
ii il hoped to obtain sufficient inter-

Similar clubs are In operation in
many Of the larger cities and in
some university towns, but 50 far as
can be determined this is the only
community Of like size and char
acter to attempt such an ~organiza-
ton.
Formation of such a club here
would enable Valley air fans to OBJ
tain flying instruction. ground
schooling and a general knowledge OF
aeronautical problems under the
leadership OF experts and competent
pilots.

has made a fresh assault the
West Texas cotton area and Xxi
dent Coolidge is asking congress -
500, 600 10 help fight it.
The new outbreak covers a con-
siderable portion Of Ector, Midland,

Representative Madden. republican,
Illinois, chairman Of the committee,
indicates that an appropriation will
be made to fight the boIIworn, but
there is some question whether II
will be made a part OF the general
policy congress has followed in pro-
viding funds for control Of crop in
sects or treated as an individual pro-
jsct.
While the pink bollwonn il rep
resented By some authorities TO be
the most serious Of all cotton pests.

tual destructiveness Is the chief
source of American concern. DR.. J.
