After I had talked to the class
of high school girls on the subject
of How Do You Know It's Love?"
one of them questioned me.
1.-The trouble is" she commented,
"that girls get all the education
along that line-what little there
is. In this high school we have
this class in social arts-it's a
good one, but only few of the
girls get to take it. In many high
schools the girls don't get such a
class. And almost everywhere the
boys get nothing at all to teach
them how to get along with girls.
Can't you do something about
that?"
IT might write a column on it, !"
I volunteered. What shall I tell
the boys? What are the things
they do on dates, for instance,
that are most irritating and con-
tribute most to make them unpop-
ular?"
my pet peeve is the fellow who
is always talking about the ex-
penses," one girl promptly an
nounced. Hes always remarking
that he'd like to take me to some
other place, but it's too expensive;
or he's saying Gosh, they certainly
do soak you here and so on. I
don't expect him to spend any
more money than he can afford,
on a date, but why can't he keep
his troubles to himself, instead
of making me feel uncomfortable
all the EVENING""
There were mods of assent.
"The fellow who gets drunk on
date is out, as far as I'm con-
cerned," another girl declared.
That's not so common" third
critic put in, "as the fellow who's
always telling you about what a
big drunk he was on last week, or
what a terrific beer bust his fra
ternity staged last Saturday night,
or how he passed out at such and
such a place. He doesn't rate a
second date with me-"
This time there were even more
vigorous mods of assents, all
around.

Trees And Timber Talk
by c. w. Comfort,
U. S. Forest Service

The fencing requirements of
farmers are increasing rapidly.
This is due not only to new fenc-
ing laws in the South but also to
the increase in diversified farm
ing. The sowing of winter cover
crops bring its greatest returns to
those farmers whose fields are
fenced. The recent reduction in
cotton acreage will call for more
fencing for pasture and seed pro-
duction.
Now that fenie wire and staples
are again on the market in suf-
ficient quantities the problem of
fencing becomes one of securing
long lasting fence posts. Most
farmers realize that durable posts
will not only save them money
spent for replacement posts but
viii also save the cost of setting
them in the ground.
A scarcity of the more durable
woods such as black locust, bois
dare, catalpa, cedar and white
oak makes them difficult to pur-
chase. However, good posts can
be produced on most any farm
out of such trees as pine, sweet
gum, and red oak. Most farmers
have a sapling thicket of some
of these trees or know where they
can get some from a neighbor.
OF course pine, sweet gum, and
red oak will not last in the
ground for more than a couple of
years unless given a preventative
treatment. New chemicals and
methods of treatment make it
simple and inexpensive for farm
ers to produce treated posts for
their own use and for sale to
neighbors.
A new chemical now widely
used successfully by many farm
ers and commercial treating
plants is called pentacrlorophenol
or more commonly penta. This
penta is reasonable in cost and
not messy to handle. No equip
ment other than three oil drums
welded together is needed and
the posts are soaked in a cold So
luton of the penta overnight. A
post three inches across at the
top an six feet long will soak up
about thirteen cents worth Of the
solution.
Experiments by the U. S. Forest
service at Saucier, show that Sou
thern pine posts treated with pen
ia were still in good condition
after being in the ground eleven
years while untreated posts OF the
same kind lasted only three years.
Among Holmes county farmers
who have treated posts by this
method are j. E. Chisolm, D. c.

Council Of Europe
Votes Approval Of
Schuman Steel Plan
BY the Associated Press

STRASBOURG, France, Aug.
ga squabble among British
delegates was settled in favor of
the Conservatives today and the
Council of Europe's Consultative
Assembly indorsed 73 to 0 the
Schuman Plan to pool West Eu-
ropes steel and coal. There were
80 absentions.
Overriding Laborite opposition,
the Assembly inserted before the
final roll call British Conserva-
tive amendment urging "a re-
newed effort" to bring Britain into
the Schuman Plan discussions be-
ing conducted in Paris.
The vote on the provision was
66 to 10, with 10 absentions.
This test came, however, only
after the Conservative authors OF
the amendment, Harold Mcmillan
and David Eccles, eliminated q
clause which urged that the Schu-
man Plan be placed within the
jurisdiction Of the Council OF
Europe.
The Conservatives intended
through this clause to weaken
plans for a projected suprana-
tional authority over coal and
steel to a point where it would
be acceptable to both them and
Britain's Labor government.
The Council. while set up like
an international parliament, has
few powers. It is little more
than big debating society.
w. r. Blyton. a Labor member
of Britain's Parliament, called
the Conservative maneuver to
ease Britain into the Schuman
Plan "a stupid blunder" that
would force participants in the
plan to start their negotiations
all over again. He said Britain
will not enter the talks in Paris
now, but will wait for the six
participating nations - France,
WesS Germany. Belgium, the
Netherlands. Luxembourg and
Italy-to set up the authority
The six nations have been work
ing several weeks to set up a
draft treaty.
The Assembly recessed over the
week end. 1t will vote Monday
on the creation of limited pacts
of federation within the Council
OF Europe and on fuller powers
for the assembly.
