Activities Of
Jack and Jill

The Mothers Club of the Phoe-
nix chapter of the Jack and Jill Of
America met last Saturday after
noon at the YMCA for a luncheon
program. Mrs. Juanita Dickey,
president and organizer of the
Phoenix chapter, presided.
Mrs. Charlesetta, Banks, program
director, served as s-toastmistress for
the very inspiritional program.
Speakers were DR.. Walter I.
Murray, principal of Dunbar School
and Mr. Augustus Shaw, Dean of
Boys at Carver High School. Mr..
Murray, who spoke on Brotherhood
said "The American way of life is
endangered by acts of privileges
and bigotry within our own coun-
try. These represent the kinds Of
injustices suffered by groups be-
cause of race, creed or color. With
in our own group we have many
people who practice acts that pre-
vent unity among us. Two of the
most prevalent acts practiced by us
relate to deceit and hypocrisy.
These little things easily beset us.
Brotherhood simply means giving
to others the same rights and priv
ileges that we want for ourselves.
Mr.. Shaw's subject was "The
Child and the Art of Living" He
said, "Love is the secret of the art
of living, love of God, fellowman
and lastly self.
"Those boys who attempt to mas
ter the art of living are more like
ly to have those qualities that will
contribute to happy life which
requires the useful tools of life;
namely, health, training and per-
sonality. With these tools boy
or girl will be able to make good
use of reasonable amount of leis-
ure time"

CHARM
BY LOU LuTOUR

NEW YORK, (GlobaD-Is your
voice as flat as table top? Do you
speak almost in a monotone? Lis
ten to yourself critically, and if
your voice does not have pleas
ant variation of sound, do some
thing about it. What?
Well, try reading aloud to your
self, and listening to yourself. See
if you can make your voice run
up and down, just for. the exercise.
Exaggerate at first, so that you
will get the habit of varying your
voice tones. Practice saying single
words, using different infections.
For instance you m g hit say
"What?" as question:; What"
as an exclamation or expression of
surprise. Try putting expression in
your voice so that you may soon
come to enjoy the sound of your
own voice.
Do these simple exercises each
day, and in very short time you
may be surprised to find that you
had a pleasant, musical voice all
the time and just hadn't used it.

Round The
Edqes At Tech
By ERNESTINE MATHEWS

Letters are being mailed to par
ents and friends of students OF
Tech as a reminder of Techs big
Open House on March 4th, at 7:15
pm. Some of Techs top talented
students will give an assembly. We
are hoping to make this open

Tech-Tech's Jazz band.
On Tuesday at IL o'clock, the
senior girls of Tech, along with the
girls from Phoenix Union attended
a fashion show in Phoenix Union
auditorium, featuring Miss Alice
Corr. maid of cotton for '53. All
of the dresses were very lovely and
were made from McCall's patterns.
This was a big help to the girls
in the sewing class here at Tech;
it gave them some very good ideas
for their annual fashion show in
May. The afternoon sewing class
went to Cudia City where they saw
more fashions by Mis- Maid of Cot
ton, on February 25.
Tech Hornets edged past West
Highs Thunderbirds Friday night
by a score of $3.50 which tied them

man, made 18 points. The Hornets
will play in the tournament Thurs
day night at 9 o'clock against
Phoenix Union Coyotes. Techs
basketball schedule this year ended
with IA wins and losses in Class
A games. In city games Tech ended
perfect season with 9 wins and
no losses, making t h m city
champs of '53.

dislike in another, take care to

SPECIAL CARE HELPS
STOP DISEASE SPREAD

If you are looking for ways to
slow down the spread of disease
around your house, you'll be wise
to keep an eye ont he sick room.
or that member of the family who
has a common cold, advises Miss
Grace Ryan, extension specialist in
home management at the Univer-
sity of Arizona.
Clothes and household fabrics
can ecome excellent disease
spreaders. Use special care in stor-
ing infected clothing, first of all. A
bag or container that can be ster-
ilized will do the job. Or you might
use a -container that can be de-
stroyed when you're through with
it.
Never wash infected clothing
with the rest of your laundry. Boil
the fabric for ten minutes if it
happens to be cotton, linen or some
other material that will stand high
temperatures. In the case of wool
ems, you'll have to pass up the boil
ing. Best bet there would be to
send them to a good dry cleaner
and let him do the job.
Plenty of good disinfectant will
help, too. Either 5 per cent solu-
ton of commercial formaldehype
or a 1 percent solution of carbolic
acid should fill the bill in good
shape. Or you might use one of the
regular commercial "brand name"
diSinfectants.
A little care in handling that in
fected clothing would be in order,
too. A pair of rubber gloves would
be a good investment. Plenty of
soap and water, followed by rinse
recommended by your d oc tor,
should provide the protection you
need and help eliminate the spread
of disease around your home.

Be Eosy On Eyes
BY RUTH NELSON SAWYER

NEW YORK, (GlobaD-Did you
ever hang up the receiver after
an exciting invitation and then feel
depressed instead of happy because
your hair looked so dull and un-
attractive This shouldn't happen to
you if you take a few minutes to
study yourself.
If you work in an office or de-
partment store, it is very neces-
sary for you to concentrate on
keeping your hair in tip-top shape.
However, there are various hair
styles you might try. The style you
would wear on date would be a
little ':fuSsier" than the casual
one you would wear to business, or
one you would wear at home. Pam
per yourself just a little by setting
aside little time just to arrange
your hair in various ways to see
which is best suited to you. This
will give you an idea what to ask
your hair stylist to do the next
time you visit your favorite beauty
salon, and then take care of your
new hairdo. The next time the
phone rings you won't be sorry.

You are entitled to ask that

made against you," he told the
cheering employees.
"All of us are aware that in
the times in which we live there
is a security problem before our
country. We know that it is a
problem which must be dealt
with wisely and justly and quiet

James Cagney, the movie
tough guy. is in a tax fight over
the cost of his dancing lessons
Jimmy spent $4,000 for dane
ing lessons in 1850. He also
spent $414 for messages.
He says all of this was a neces-
sary business expense. deductible
from his income for tax purposes
The Internal Revenue Bureau
refused to allow the deduction.
So Jimmy has appealed to the
United States Tax Court.
Jimmy's appeal doesn't explain
how any one can be such a bad
dancer that he needs $4,000
worth of lessons, but it says:
Petitioner (Cagney) is a mo-
ton picture actor and. during
the year 1850. paid to a dancing
instructor the sum of $4,000.
During the year 1850 petitioner
paid for messages the sum of
$414.
Each of these expenses was
incurred and paid by the petit
toner for the purpose of en-
abling him to be properly fit and
proficient in appearing before
the public in pictures for which

he is under contract or for which
he may subsequently engage in.
All expenses were necessary in
connection with petitioners pro-
fession as q motion picture
actor"
The Internal Revenue Bureau,
in addition to disallowing these
deductions, made other adjust
ments in the Cagney income tax
return for 1850, but the acto, cid
not appeal the other changes.
The bureau listed Jimmy's
taxable net income for 1850
at $137,307, instead of $l31.-
409, as Jimmy reported. This
was Jimmy's share of the family
income under the community
tax laws.
Frances Cagney. Jimmy's
wife, filed a separate return,
showing an Identical sum for
her share. She ran into the same
tax troubles as her husband and
filed virtually identical appeal.
For each of the Cagneys, the
bureau disallowed a contribution
of $50 to Common Cause, Inc,
decreased their claimed losses
from running a farm by $1.21O,
increased their dividend receipts
by $50 and increased interest re-
ceiptS by $1,000.
