PROVING SHE

At 93, Mrs. Mary Morey
Visits Beauty Shop
For ‘Permanent’
14/IRS. MARY MOREY, who for-
'Ylmerly lived in El Reno, was the
subject of an illustrated feature
story published recently in a news-
paper at Houston, Tex., where she
now makes her home.
Gist of the story was that, at 93
Monthly Bills Will Jump
But Housewives Should
Find Work Easier
Men who have to dig down in
their pockets every month to pay
water bills—due to be increased
soon—and housewives who have to
cope with hard water in their
everyday chores—due to be light-
ened soon—will have an oppor-
tunity within a few days to in-
spect what will cause quite a dis-
cussion in El Reno.

A few days before the story was
written she had received her first
permanent wave, astounding beauty
shop operators with her rare vital-
ity.
“I don’t know why I’ve been fool-
ing with those old curlers all these
years," she told' the Houston news-
paper reporter who interviewed her.
"I certainly won’t again. And it’ll
be so much nicer when I’m travel-
ing.”
QURPRISED that a woman 93
years of age would do much
traveling, the reporter asked and
found out that Mrs. Morey often
travels, usually alone, from Houston
to her old home in Missouri.

spection by the public.
In fairness to themselves, the
men and women of El Reno should
visit this most modern means to
easier and better living.
The taxpayers and housewives
probably won’t know what it's all
about even if they spend hours
in the new building, but they can
appreciate the enormity of the
task of softening and purifying
water for a city of more than
10,000 persons and a prison with
more than l.OCp inmates.
Gadgets Are Pretty
And they undoubtedly will be
quite fascinated by the scores of
bright new gadgets that fill the
modernistic concrete building.

iron cannot carry the mixtures.

A defensive and economic program
described as designed to shock rude-
ly any aggressive-minded foreign
power with western hemisphere as-
pirations was all but signed and seal-
ed at the Pan-American conference
In Havana Saturday night.
This, the United States’ main ob-
jective. was practically a declaration
that the 20 other American republics
would support this country’s en-
forcement of the Monroe doctrine.
The program awaits formal adop-
tion before adjournment Tuesday but
committee approval already obtain-
ed, was said to insure its success.
Three Points Set Out
The three main points call for
creation of machinery under which
any European possessions tn this
hemisphere might be taken under
protective administration; establish-
ment of an economic framework to
take care of export burdens and
guard against unfair trade terms by
foreign countries, and close Ameri-
can consulations to prevent fifth
column activities or the abuse of
privileges by foreign diplomatic
agents.
United States Secretary of State
Cordell Hull was credited with hav-

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Germany gave orders Saturday
for the further carving up of
Rumania, with Bulgaria and Hun-
gary each destined to get a terri-
torial slice.
Out of the flurry of conferences
in Oermany and Italy, the Ger-
man press intimated that Adolf
Hitler had told Balkan diplomats
he expected them to settle their
own differences, with the import-
ant qualification that he favored
the claims of both Bulgaria and
Hungary.
At the same time, Germany’s
war planes roared over Great Brit-
ain and Scotland In the third
straight day of heavy attacks. The
British said four Nazi planes were
shot down, bringing the three-
day total to 33 German planes.
Details Talked Over
After visiting Hitler. Rumania's
| premier and foreign minister went
to Rome and talked over details
of a Balkan territorial lineup
which, it was reported, would give
parts of their country to Hun-
gary and Bulgaria.
An official source in Budapest
said Germany has told Rumania to
get together quickly with Hungary
and Bulgaria on how much land
to cede to those two countries.
Hungary long has claimed Tran-
sylvania and Bulgaria wants Do-
bruja.
However, Rumania sougnt a
formula by which actual cession
of territory to the two countries
would be postponed as long as
possible. The Bucharest press and
radio said any further surrender
of Rumanian territory at this time
might provoke an internal crisis.
