private planes and 1900 chicks were
destroyed in fire that leyeled the
Gettysburg Airport hangar last
night, causing $4,000 damage.
Fire Chief James A. Aumen said
high winds, aided by exploding gaso-
line in the planes tanks, caused the
building to burn rapidly. No one
was injured
Richard Bircher, airport owner,
said only two planes were saved. All
were owned by Gettysburg residents.
The chicks were stored in the

ants for positions, is the smallest
fielded at the school in recent
years, Coach Bell has assembled
a likely looking bunch Of football
prospects. There Is weight, ex-
perience and ability on the team,
giving the eleven good chance
to become one of the country's
top squads this fall.
Some 16 veterans Aggie play
ers have returned to the fold and
are rounding into condition very
nicely. Among the familiar faces
seen practicing daily are such
players as big Robert (Stone-
wall) Jackson, fullback star; Joe
Williams tackle and honorary
captain last year; Jimmy Rowe,
guard and place kick expert;
Floyd Jackson, tackle; Ike Ogles-
by, guard; Bill Pryor, tackle;
Leonard Harshaw, halfback; Mil
as Kelly, quarterback; Hender-
son Coleman, halfback; Muriel
Reid, fullback; .Athie L. Garri-
son, halfback; Arthur Smith, CEN
ter, and Lawrence Carpenter,
tackle.
While the holdovers from last
year seem to have the inside
track in the gruelling battle for
positions on the Aggie eleven,
every post on the team is wide
open and the newcomers from the
freshman ranks are offering
plenty of competition to the old
men on the team which fact
should make A. and T. the great
est bunch of hustling ball players
in the conference during the COM
ing campaign.

On the pages of woman's memory
nothing marks the milestones of the
years like the dresses worn on the great
occasions. From the first party dress
to the bridal gown, the dress is as much
a part of the party, the confirmation,
the debut, as the girl herself.
And like the girl, the dress grows up.
Through the years, each occasion, great
er than the last, brings into being a
lovelier dress than the last.
First there is the party dress, usual
ly made of organdy silk, dotted Swiss,
or lace inserted in some material. Made
with shocked yoke, the first dress is
designed to show the little girls plump
legs and perhaps a pretty pair of lace
edged panties. Tragedy sometimes oc-
ours on the occasion of its first wear
ing, when the young daughter drops
ice cream on her dress and a proud
mother becomes visibly upset.
The second important dress is the
confirmation garment, which although
made on any style, is inveritably
white. The confirmation dress is not
usually beautiful, mostly because at
the confirmation age, the girl is not
good model, but awkwardly adolescent
with gangling arms and legs and stringy
hair. Yet, the confirmation dress usual
ly emphasizes the solemnity and spirit
uality of the occasion, and girl de-
scribes it in her memory as being a
lovely garment simply made.
Then there is the first dance gown.

gowns in the stores, usually finding
them too sophisticated for little Suzy.
AS result, the first ball gown is often
made by the family dressmaker or
mother, who combine their designing
ability to make Suzy look sweet and
naive in puffed sleeves, sweetheart
neckline, and streamers of ribbon rum
ming to the hemline. The materials used
are net, organdy, taffeta, or dotted
Swiss.
There is no sentiment like that felt
for the first evening gown, and al
though it might not have had an ap-
peal for the stagline, it proved COM,

In mothers day the graduation gown
was one of the memorable garments,
but today the traditional dress of white
has been replaced by the gray and
later the black graduation robe. Usu-

Dorothy Dix Says

cured her husband of philandering
by soaring the wits out of him. She
said that she and her husband had
gotten along to that place in marri-
age where a man quits seeing his
wife as a woman and only regards
ner as piece of household furniture
that will stay put, no matter what
he does.
So to call attention to herself she
began writing him anonymous letters
in which she would say: Your wife
is a young and beautiful woman.
What do you think she is doing while
YOU are stepping out nights?' An
other letter would say: Don't you
ever wonder why your wife never
makes any fuss about your not
spending your evenings at home?
In fact, almost pushes you out Of
the door to get you Off" And still
another letter asked: Who is that
handsome man from out of town
who goes to see your wife so often?'
The results of these letters was
that Friend Husband got so alarmed
at the thought that maybe his wife
was playing the game. too, that he
became a f1reside sitter.
And still another wife claims that
when a middle-aged husband and
father wants his wife to give him
a divorce so he can marry an l8 or
l9-year-old cutie, a cure that never
fails is for her to tell him that she
will do so If he will take all of the
five children, including the baby,
She said no bride wants ready
made family as a wedding present.
Maybe some of these rules for
curing philanderer will work. May
be not. Mostly it depends on
whether wife has sense of humor.
Or whether she thinks he is worth

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josebhine Lovman

Are you in the middle Of q middle
age slump? This time do not mean
figure slump! Sometimes a fallen
morale is worse than fallen hip
line, a double layer Of boredom is
worse than a double chin and a
rigid outlook is more damaging to
happiness than protruding abdo-
men!
Many, many men and women find
themselves somewhat frustrated and
unhappy at middle life. Very often
this condition has as its background
pattern of incorrect living which
has led to nervous exhaustion. For
years there has been too much food
and too little exercise, too much
worry and too little laughter, too
much hurry and too little relaxation,
too much night life and too little
sleep, too few vitamins and too many
calories. 1t is practically impossible
to feel we'll adjusted to life or to be
emotionally well balanced, If you
are nervously exhausted.
If your feeling Of vague unhappi-
ness and Illustration do not come
from physical factors then they are
perhaps psychological. Reaching
middle age is somewhat like coming
to the halfway point when climbing
mountain peak. After the first
hard pull you stop to look back at
what you have accomplished and to
look ahead toward what lies before
you. If the distance you have COW
cred and the things that lie ahead
fall short of satisfaction, feeling
of unhappiness and encouragement
may result.
During the time of abundant en-
ergy, sheer youthful exuberance
takes you sailing along without
thought. Later on when energy has
lessened and the pressure OF a
growing family and the first finan-
cial struggles are over, you may find
yourself firing easily, sleeping poorly
and rather confused mentally, Won
dering what it is all about.
In order to avoid this middle-age
slump, it is a good idea to stop and
take stock of oneself all along the
way. Discover whether or not you
are really getting what you want
from life or are just being pushed
along by it. If you find yourself IN
the condition I have described to-
day, pull yourself out of it by
new plan which includes fresh in
terests and activities, proper nutri-
ton, new work, sufficient rest and
sleep and outdoors, and forward
looking mental attitude.

One of the problems with which
women have been struggling since
the beginning of time, and with
which they will still probably be
wrestling when the last atomic
bomb is fired. is how to keep hus-
band with wandering feet from
straying so far off of the home lot
that he will be permanently lost.
Few wives ever solved it. and sad
to say, most of them 60 about deal
ing with it in the wrong way. In
an emergency that calls upon them
% get new hair-do and some pretty
clothes and to fetch out their best
bag of tricks, they dissolve into sud-
den masses of tears and reproaches
and frowzy housecoats, which drives
their playboy husbands still farther
away from them, instead of enticing
them back into the fold.
Now there is no way of curing
husband of philandering that can be
guaranteed to last. 1t is always
likely to break on one, especially in
the Spring when a mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts Of love,
and in the Fall when the new crop
Of debutantes comes along. But
these attacks need not be fatal, if
properly handled, and a number of
women, who have nursed their hus-
bands through various and sundry
romances, have written to this
column telling how they did it.
One woman says: Il have a hus-
band who I love very much and, in
spite of his Casanova complex, I
know he loves me, but every year or
two he has to have a new love affair
He has to have little romance on
the side along with domesticity, but
he always comes back to home and
mother.
"And the reason for this Is that ]
never take his toys away from him
I let him play around with each
new one until he tires of her, as he
does when the novelty wears off
II wives wouldn't take their hus-
bands little flirtations SO seriously
it would save a lot of them from
having to get divorces"
