5-YEAR TERM

Three defendants drew peniten-
tiary sentences totaling Is years

court here Tuesday morning.
A jury found Agapito Garcia
guilty of numbering his brother-in-
law, Geronimo Villanueva, near

Lewis was given four in the same

The jury was out all night after
getting the Agapito Garcia case
late Monday afternoon. The de-
PENDANT pleaded self defense, say
ing he shot Villanueva only after

a knife. Villanueva, with a gaping
wound in his head. wandered in the
brush around his farm home all
night before dieing.
Garcia, who admitted having

10 use them when he was captured
by the Border Patrolmen. The in

RAINFALL

and usually has been followed the
next day by winds that dried the
soil quickly. As a result, spring
crops on non-irrigated lands are
badly IN need Of moisture, not
only in the Valley but through
out South Texas.
Matamoros, particularly, where
for the past two years bumper
cotton crops have been enjoyed,
is feeling the effects Of the dry
period. Much Of the seed plant
ed has not sprouted, and what
has sprouted is badly stunted for
lack Of moisture.
Only northeast Texas, the rec
ords show, has received beneficial
rainfall during the past 80 days.
North Texas proper and the
Panhandle region. r badly in

Panhandle and the Middlewest

last years disastrous drouth. and
already, In some parts Of Okla

hope OF raising a wheat crop this
season.
There is. however. a bright side

With official spring but a day
away. observers are free in their
prediction that the Valley has
broken the March weather jinx.
Not a freeze or frost has pene-
trated this far south during the
month, although February was
the bearer Of both. Although some
few northers are due 10 start out
for the southlands during the re-
mainder of the month. few of
them likely will penetrate this
far south, and what few do enter
the Valley will be greatly temper
ed, observers say.

FRANCE TO MAKE
ISSUE OF SITUATION
Copyright. 1885. by up

PARIS, March 20.-The French
cabinet, taking UP Reichsfuehrer
Hitler'S arms challenge. decided
Wednesday to make an issue OF
Germany's violation Of the Ver-
saille treaty by raising the ques-
ton before the League Of Nations
council and dispatching a strong
protest TO Berlin.
The protest. contained in a note,
was to be sent to the French en-
baSsy In Berlin for presentation to
the German government late We'd
nesday. 1t is directed at the Ger
man scrapping Of the arms clauses
In the Versailles treaty.
While the cabinet stiIl was in
session on the subject Of the note,
the French fascist and nationalist
leagues said that their troops.
for which they claim membership
OF 1000. 900 men. will be doubled
within six months because of Ger
nan CONSUMPTION. The leagues
leaders announced their volume OF
recruits trebled on the day follow
Ing the announcement OF conscrip-
ton by Reichsfuehrer Hitler.
IL was understood the French
cabinet. in deciding on the protest.
recognized that GOODNESS had de-
veloped with Great Britain and
that therefore France must act
vigorously to maintain its prestige
In the face Of Hitler's attitude.
The government previously had
hoped that a joint action OF France
Great Britain. and Italy might be
arranged. but now il was regarded
rs believing that England would re-
fuse to consult the other powers on
the ground that 1t would appear un-
dignified for the British govern
ment to appear to take orders from
other nations on a situation which
England thinks is quite as grave
for her as for France.

Beauty
The Christmas
Gifts
By DONNA GRACE

1t is not too early to call your
attention to Christmas gifts. You
know how we are always inclined
to wait until the last few days
and then rush out and expect to
find j0st what we want in an
hour or two shopping.
There is, of course, a kind Of
thrill about late shopping, too, but
why not get the really important
things now and put them away
ready for Santa Claus to pick up?
Then you may be sure there will
be any number of little gifts you
can buy when the rush is on.
During the last few weeks we
have been looking at some of the
new packages Of perfumes and
cosmetics and there are so many
lovely varieties Of these that we
really believe you need go no fur.
ther than your beauty salon or
toilet goods counter to take care
of your whole list.
There are beautifully fitted
cases in all sizes and at all prices
from the dollar package to the
elaborate leather cases at several
hundred each.
Every woman and young girl
simply adores" fitted case
where she may find everything
she needs for her toilet. College
girls and even the young girls
away at boarding school should
have their own individual make
up cases. It will be an inspirs-
ton to them to keep their belong
ings in a dainty and orderly way
and-juSt between ourSelVeS-lt
will prove a marvellous defense
against the borrowing young miss
who thinks nothing Of walking OH
with your best powder or cream.
While we do not advocate con-
spicuouS makeup for school girls
we think they should have train
ing in the use Of all cosmetics to
enable them to discriminate and
know what is in good taste. She
may use scented bath powder and
toilet water after the bath every
day and perfumes for parties and
to luncheon dates in town.
Use your spare time now to do
your holiday shopping and save
yourself from fatigue and disap-
pointment.
Why not have a makeup chart
to direct you in the selection OF
colorS and the facial massage
method for your guide in using
your other cosmetics? There is
no charge for either, but please
enclose a stamped, self-addreSSed
envelope for each one. Address

Ii you have never been for

Fruit juices such as canned
orange juice, pineapple juice, and
grape juice offer welcome
change for the beverage. Desserts
such as Brown Betty and baked
apples have recently been intro
duced in cans. These ready-to-eat
desserts need only a wooden or
paper spoon to complete their
service.
Combining fruit juices and des-
Sert with sandwiches makes an
excellent lunch. In packing the
sandwiches, cut them in four
pieces. This eliminates breaking a
large sandwich and losing half
the filling. Special wax sandwich
bags or waXed paper keep the
sandwiches fresh and in good con-
dition.

Etiquette
Serve Salad
Either WaY
ByMRS.CORNELIUs BEECKMAN

ByMRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
will you please tell me when
salad is served, before or after
the main course? F.
1t is the conventional thing to
serve the salad as a separate
course, after the main course.
This makes the salad a more i'm
portant feature of the luncheon
or dinner menu. When it is
served as a separate course, it
can be most deliciously and at
tractively accompanied by hot bis.
cults, opened and buttered and
put together again, or by but
tered and toasted crackers of
some delicious kind, and by one
kind of cheese or choice of sew.
eral kinds, or by cheese balls
sprinkled with colorful paprika.
Nowadays there are so many
handsome varieties of salad bowls
and of salad sets, that many host
eSses are making a quite dramatic
event of this serving of salad as
a separate course. We may buy
beautiful salad bowls of crystal,
china, pottery, silver, of the new
nontarniShable chromium, and of
the new highly polished woods
treated so that they are not af-
fected by salad dressings.
Often too, of course, the salad
is served with the main course.
It's grand to have a simple let
tuce-and-tomato salad, or just
quarters or eights of tomato. or
a mixed or chiffonade salad,
with steak or chops or roast beef.
And very often, especially in
parts of the country that are
fruitgrowing, a fruit salad is
served as the first course. Avoca.
do salad is often served first also.

Hear the gay voices at Janet'S
high-School party! Everybody's
very dressed up, and playing quite
dizzy games! The foods extremely
swanky, the jokes are bubbling up
like the balloons, dancing is in
full swing!
And that's the way a high-chool
party ought to be-the sum total
Of the ideas of both Janet and
her mother. When Janet first
began to give parties for the high
school crowd, her mother was a
trifle flabbergaSted at the elab-
crate ideas of this daughter who,
only yesterday, was just a little
girl.
Then mother realized that there
is no time in your whole life when
being grown up is quite so i'm
portant as when you are right
on the threshold of growing up.
So she gave in and let the par
ties be a good bit more formal
than she ever would have dreamed
