HOW TO LIVE
LONGER
FALSE ECONOMY
Rv
JOHN CLARENCE FUNK

THRIFT is a splendid thing but
i when it reaches the point OF
,miserliness 1t ceases to be virtue.
One Of it's most peculiar MANIFESTO
itions is the practice Of keeping down
blinds to ''save the rugs" In the
rural districts Of some sections OF
the country the whole house Will be
shut up tight, summer and winter,
$50 that the carpets won't fade"
Many city matrons in lesser degree
are guilty of the same conduct.
Prisons of former years we're both
dark and damp; and they consequent
ly not only confined those unfortunate
enough to be sent to them, but killed
them with disease. However, in these
days of enlightenment even many
jails are reasonably light, and get
plenty Of fresh air. Why then, emu
late the penal practices of past years
by saving the colors in rugs and car
pets?
Germs are cowardly things. They
love the dark and thrive In 1t. They
are equally attached to dust. Con-
versely, they flee from sunlight. fresh
air and cleanliness.
Physicians realize the fundamental
fact that an abundance of sunlight
is essential for normal development
and the maintenance Of good physi.
cal condition. Drawn blinds bar it
altogether.
While in many latitudes it becomes
Impossible in the winter time to keep
the windows constantly open during
the day, this need not be so during
the late spring, summer and early
fall. One thing is certain, winter
will not keep out the sunshine If you
are willing to let it in.
One step farther is required, how
ever: window glass filters out the
most beneficent portion Of the SUMS
rays. It becomes necessary therefore,
not only to let in light but to permit
the sunshine to enter direct. In
severe weather a few minutes Is
enough. In mild seasons one cannot
have too much Of it. Therefore, raise
all blinds, and keep them up; then
throw open the windows and let in
the sunshine and fresh air. Better
a little dust and faded coFors than
disease.
Be thrifty. But don't let thrift in
this connection get the better of you.
If you do, you will be miser-per.

DALLAS, Nov. 16-tP-A sadly
scrambled Southwest conference grid
race Is due for a renovating today
when Texas Christian University's
undefeated eleven meets Texas Uni
versity at Austin and the mighty
Baylor Bears grapple with the tricky
Southern Methodist machine at Dali
las.
The twin tussels offer conference
fans the most appetlzing menu Of
the season. AS each Of the contend
ing quartet has an excellent math-
ematical shot at the championship,
either game merits the spotlight for
the week. Twenty-Five hundred sup
porters are expected TO accompany
the frogs to Austin and a similar
number to trail the Bears here. 1t

Methodist.
Providing neither bout results In

rowed 10 two teams by nightfall.
AS none Of the quartet al afford
to have another deadlock go into
the records, the days play is calcu-
lated to be Of a swift offensive char
acter. The time for cautious, deten-
sive football Is past. "A concenus OF
more or less expert opinion has es-
tablished Baylor and I. @. u. In
the favorites' chair.
Texas Christian enters the vital
tilt at Austin with two conference
victories under its belt. Texas won
two and tied a like number. Bay

similar records, each with one vic
tory and a scoreless tie with Texas.

ed little excitement. It viii settle
the cellar debate. The Aggies, out
scored in three hard conference bat
ties, appear to have enough TO down
the Owls, who have not scored a
point in two conference tarts.
Coach Ray Morrison OF the Mus
tangs has devoted most Of the week
70 polishing up a deceptive running
and passing attack which he hopes
will overcome Baylor's powerful de-
tense. He also has perfected a Sec
cndary defense calulated to stop the
Bears passing game. Most Of the
Pony formations have Weldon Ma
son as their nucleus. and the speedy
halfback is certain TO carry the
brunt of the offense. Gilbert has ia
ken over quarterback duties and
kaufman has been delegated to try
to match the spirals of Jack VIII
son. Baylor's brilliant star.
