On Feb. 25 the court upheld the
Texas segregation laws in deci-
sion denying Sweatt's plea for an
order to force the University of
Texas to admit him to its law
school.
Nine charges of error were set
out in Sweatt's motion attacking
the courts decision.
The record in this case demon
strates. for the first time in any
case presented for decision, the in
evitable inequalities in a segregat-
ed school system" the motion
claimed.
Thus the contention is made
that the school segregation issue
is presented for the first time.
The Texas Attorney General had
cited cases to support his argu-
ment that the segregation lsws
had been upheld where equal op-
portunities are given the colored
race. This is his position in this
contest
With the issue squarely joined
it is presumed TO be a basis for a
direct appeal to the United States
Supreme Court Such appeal can
be taken from the judgment of
the appellate court, if the Texas
Supreme Court refuses writ of
error. However, if the writ is
granted, the Texas high court
would hear the case and write
its own opinion. Refusing the writ
of error would expedite the case
to Washington.
An added argument for appeal
to Washington is the notions
claim that the APPELLATE court err
red in not holding a provision Of
the Texas Constitution unconsti-
tutional II is the segregation pro-
vision, Sec 7. Art VII, which
says separate schools shall be
provided for white and colored
children, and impartial provision
shall be made for both"

plain for the top, print or plaid for
the skirt.
In making a spread with a
gathered skirt, allow 80 inches in
length for the center and width
enough to cover the bed. Mark off
Is inches at one end and turn in
at the foot. Finish the edges with a
hem. The skirt should be made at
least 26 inches deep and may be
pleated or gathered.
You will need from two to two
and one-half times the length of the
spread for gathering in the skirt.
Hem the skirt, then gather.
Match Decoration
To Furniture
If you are making a bedspread
for very feminine room, use a
gay print material, or perhaps an
organdie or chintz. You'll find that
godet founce spread does nicely,
and the effect can be carried out
to extend to the pillows, which are
made of the same material as the
spread with a single row of ruffling
around them.
Circular ruffled spreads are at
tractive, also, but you need a great
deal of yardage as the skirt is cut
in a flare.
If you have an 18th century room
you may be using a rich heavy ma
terial for the spread. Quilted satin
spreads are attractive. Sometimes
it is possible to buy wide satin quilt
ing and this may be used for the
top of the spread. Use matching
material and make a gathered skirt.
If you have period furniture, use
matching spread of velvet, velve-
teen or rich brocade. Spread the
fabric across the bed and allow for
tuck-in at the top. Outline the mat
tress and the pillows with corded
seams and make a gathered skirt
long enough at the pillow end so
it can follow the curved line and
still keep even with the floor.
For tailored rooms, use plain
spread with pleating or scalloped
edges. Heavy material like duck or
denim is wise choice in material
as the pleats stay in well.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1948-03-05

Get simple clothes that fit you
and are becoming and, above all,
have them comfortable-a becoming
neckline, gracious sweep of sleeves
and skirt. You'll be more apt to
be at your best with this combina-
ton, than with anything too strik-
ing and too modish.
Read one good magazine. Do a
little thinking and learn to ask in
telligent questions and to listen.
But, above all, keep in mind
the word ''lovely." That is your
key word. Be lovely in appear
ance, be freshly groomed, SIM
ply dressed, gentle in manner.
Be lovely in voice, lovely in in
terest, sympathy, understanding.
If you keep thinking "lovely-
lovely-lovely-" you can't by
any possible combinati of cir
cumstances, events, changes, be
kept long from your goal.
Don't ape chattering women, SEN
sational women, flirtatious women.
They'll circle about the new hero,
flatter him, slight you-for a while.
But 60 steadily on your way, and
you can't lose.
Learn to Live Again
True, he has outstripped you.
Whatever you do you can't get the
spotlight now. But just as thousands
of our magnificent men from all the
services have had to learn to live
all over again, so you start all over
again, too. This boy is managing
to be happy and useful without his
sight; that one is fitting himself to
a job that can be handled with just
a left hand. A third veteran never
will hear a sound on earth again;
a fourth is fearfully disigured and
sees his own children shrinking back
from his patched face. Your task
doesn't compare to theirs. Get to
work.
Two hints: Keep in good health,
light and ready for plans and
changes; and secondly, don't forget
prayer. There is no weapon in the
armory of an amorous grass widow
that can touch it for potency.
