DALLAS, Texas, July 2. (UP).
The bodies Of an adult and two
children were taken from raging
flood waters at Kyle early today,
bringing the death toll from q Sc
ries of cloudbursts that devastat-
ed parts of South Texas, to at
least, o.. Authorities feared that
the rapidly receding waters would
reveal more bodies. ..
Today, "a hours after spouts Of
water poured down from the
!, skies, the full story of the dis
aster was coming from the isolat-
ed regions.
Soon after the cloudbursts, dry
stream beds contained maddened
! torrents that swept everything be-
fore them. Hundreds Of Thousands
of acres of farm land were in
undated as were several towns.
Property damage was estimated
in the millions. ra,'i""F
The cloudbnrsts struck IN Coz
zales and adjoining counties n
South Texas. Today the. Hood
waters were recedihg as rapidly
as they rose, revealing o. more
grave picture than had been an
ticipated. The flood ripped, thru
the settlement. of Kyle, between
Austin and San Antonio, where
the three bodies were found. Rus
less buildings and streets in Con.
zales were at one' time: under
three to five feet of water, and .
number OF frame houses were
washed down the river. -.
The flood wrecked o train when
it washed out bridge north Of
Kyle. Two were known dead
there, but q hobo, who had been
on the train, told Kyle authorities
that at least six men had drowned
when the train plunged into the
stream. ..,.,.-.. =. ~
Near Nixon in Gonzales county,

Few Good
Exercises
For Chin
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

A r first glance you wouldn't think
= of hat and chin as related in any
way, would you? But. ask the woman
who has a double double chin we
mean. She'll tell you that the new
high in hats doesn't have lifting in
fluence by any means. 1t only calls
attention to the droop where q firm
young line should be. And the new
Forward March" hats. You can't
wear them unless your neckline Is
graceful and young. The military
modes-you have to carry your head
straight as a soldier to wear them.
So YOU see how closely allied fashion
is with beauty. And If you're to be
at all fashionable you've got to be
beautiful and among other things
boast a graceful, clear-cut. young
chinline.
There seem to be three important
steps in any major beauty routine.
And so it is with holding that line. !"
They consist of creaming, exercising
and the astringent tie-up. The cream
should be of the rich, penetrating type.
Anv good emollient or nourishing type
cream will do, although there are spe-
cial throat creams to be had that
work wonders in keeping the skin tex
ture soft. smooth, wrinkle-free.
Then we come to exercise. Muscles
are like elastic, you know. They ex-
nand and contract. Given enough to
do thew retain their resiliency. Allowed
to get lazy their lose their snap,
become limp like an old elastic band.
We don't use our chin and neck
muscles sufficiently. And the law Of
gravity wins out, pulling the muscles
down. Exercise has lifting influence.
Chewing (hard chewing) is good.
IT. ix even recommended that you chew
pum for q few minutes every day

Thrust chin as far forward as possible
and drop the lower jaw as far as pos
sible with each chewing movement.
Another exercise: The simple one
Of raising the head slowly upward and
hack tensing the muscles. Then ~
slowly let chin drop on chest.
NOW muscles tensed. tip head slowly
back-back, turn head to right, then
front then to left shoulder, then 'front.'
and hack In other words, rotate the
read but remember slowly and
muscles tensed-feel the stretch.
After the exercise, pat with . large

gent, directly over any remaining
cream. Then comes the tie-up which
takes the place of Q chin strap. Wear

IT'S not aversion to work. It's tenn
L perament that keeps thousands Of
men sponging on their friends and
relatives. They will tell you with
tears in their eyes that they long for
work, but they simply cannot do
everyday tasks. They must have
work for which they are tempera-
mentally fitted. Something spiritual
that can be done when they are in
the mood for it, and with big pay
checks attached, and as there are no
such jobs they just let mother take
in boarders to support them until
some fool girl with good job takes
over the contract.
The alibi Of the philanderer is
that his wife does not understand him.
It's never his fault that he is a pet
ticoat chaser. He never admits that
he is a poor, weak creature who is
totally lacking in loyalty and a sense
of duty and self control and sales re-
sistance. No, he is a poor, misunder-
stood, lonely soul, married to wom-
an who does not sympathize with
him or who is cold, and so he Is
driven to seek solace at night clubs
with platinum blonds.
The alibi of the forsaken wife Is
the other woman. Nobody ever heard
Of q deserted wife who admitted to
losing her husband through her own
carelessness. The reason that her
husband strayed away from his own
fireside was never because she
slumped and got slovenly or because
she was q bad housekeeper or because
she got peevish or fretful and nagging
or because she got so dull she bored
him to death. No. It is always be-
cause the other woman possessed mys-
terious powers of attraction with
which no wife could contend.
And the alibi for all the unsuc-
cessful is that they never had any
luck. The reason they haven't got
along is because they didn't get the
breaks. Their never having the grit
to stick to q hard job or put their
backs and their brains into their
work Is never the reason that they are
failures. It's Just that they were un-
lucky.
We've all got our alibis Tor our
fanIts ana weaknesses. What Is yours?

consumers are getting over their
doubts as to the merits Of storage and
frozen foods.
"TN SEVERAL Western States, where
individual freeze lockers are in
wide use among farm families, many
a housewife Is sending her surplus
ome-dressed hens to the family
locker, along with other meats. Other
farm housewives prefer to conserve
their non-laying hens for the Winter
table in jars or tins. The new bulle-
tin on home canning, recently issued
by the Bureau of Home Economics,
has a section devoted to the canning
of chicken. The canning specialists
recommend the steam pressure can
ner as the only safe method Of pro-
cessing either meats or chicken.
THE city housewife who hasn't the
facilities either to freeze or can q
home e-grown supply of chicken, has to
depend on buying her poultry at retail,
judging its quality to the best Of her
ability. If she selects a four or five
pound fowl, she must bear in mind
that when it Is drawn and ready to
cook it will weigh about IS per cent
less than it did on the dealers scales,
and that the actual weight Of meat,
when taken from the bones, will be
even less. Nevertheless, II she SIM
mers it carefully in lightly salted
water until 1t Is tender. she may be
able to serve one-half of 1t as q
fricassee or chicken pie, and then use
the remainder. removed from the
bones, for chicken shortcake, chicken
a la king, chicken with noodles, or
one OF the minced chicken dishes such
as chicken rizotto, chop suey, chicken
timbaleS, chicken croquettes, or curry.
The broth will make fine gravy and
will be useful in any one of these
dishes.
A MOTHER good way Of cooking an
older bird is in q casserole, with
tight lid, in which it gets long,
slow, moist cooking, chiefly by the
steam kept in by the cover. The
juices are retained in the gravy and
the seasonings penetrate the pieces OF
chicken, giving them . fine flavor.
Here's q recipe for q casserole OF
chicken, vouched for by the Bureau
Of Home Economics:
CASSEROLE OF FOWL WITH
VEGETABLES.
3 carrots.
l bunch Of celery.
l onion.
/ green pepper.
or pound fowl.
2 tablespoons butter or other fat.
/ cup hot water.
/ cup milk.
liz tablespoons flour.
Slice or chop the vegetables in very
small pieces. Cut up the fowl, sea-
son with salt and pepper. dust with
-four and brown delicately in the fat.
As the meat Is removed from the fry
ing pan, place it in a casserole. Pour
the chopped vegetables into the frying
pan and let them absorb the Drowned
fat. Then transfer them to the cas-
serole, add a cup of hot water, cover
and cook in a slow oven (275 degrees
Fahrenheit) for three hours-or long
er If the fowl is tough. Add more
water from time to time If necessary.
Just before serving, remove the pieces
of fowl and add the milk and flour,
which have been mixed. Cook for
10 minutes longer and pour the vege-
table sauce over the chicken or re-
place the chicken in the sauce and
serve from the casserole"
Evening star., 1936-10-21

material side of the picture. chickens
are exceedingly plentiful in local mar
kets Just now, and are very plump
and tender to boot. Birds for almost
every budget may be found, and If
the housekeeper has good under
standing of what type bird will best
suit her particular requirements. she
may shop happily, to both the tables
and the budgets advantage.
HERE is what the Bureau Of Home
IL Economics of the United States
Department of Agriculture has to say
on the subject:
Birds of fowl size and age are q
thrifty buy, because they have the
largest proportion Of meat to bony
structure They require long, slow
cooking, with liquid added to make
them tender-that is, stewing or SIM
mering or braising or cooking in a
casserole BY good management a
large stewing chicken can sometimes
be made to stretch over two meals.
Some poultry dealers always carry
Government graded chickens. Others
stock them from time to time, espe-
cially if their trade demands graded
poultry. In selecting chickens at the
store the housewife may not find Gov
ernment grades marked on the mdi-
vidual birds, because the custom Is to
stamp these grades on the box or
barrel which the customer does not
see
DOR each class OF poultry-broil-
ers, fryers, roasters, fowls, and
30 on, there Is a separate set Of speci-
fications under each of the four
grades. The top grade, U. S. Special,
or U. S. Grade AA, is not often seen.
U. S. Grade A or U. S. Prime. and
U. S. Grade B or U. S. Choice, are
the grades commonly offered the
housewife at retail markets. The diff
ference between Grade A and Grade
B is chiefly one of degree Of fleshing,
appearance, and minor surface defects,
such as pinfeathers or a slightly
crooked breastbone, which does not
affect the eating quality.
Some dealers have facilities for
keeping live, chickens on hand, dress
ing them from day to day as ordered.
This is fresh-killed poultry. Others
handle fresh-dressed poultry that has
been frozen only long enough to allow
1t to be carried in good condition to
market. The term fresh chilled Is
used for these birds. A great deal
Of the poultry in large city markets is
necessarily fresh chilled or it could
not be handled. Hard frozen or cold
storage chickens are still another kind
on the market. Recent improvement
in methods of hard freezing many
kinds OF foods includes chickens, and
