Stockingless Mode Detracts
From Charm
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON
Some fads are more determental than they are helpful to feminine
beauty, charm and even fashion.
Girls have been going without stockings for several seasons now and
the fad sems to be gaining in popularity. I am now going to tell you
why I think the stockingless fad detracts from one’s
charm and beauty.
For the city girl it is simply ruinous. Why?
Because very few women have legs and skin beauti
ful enough to enhance their appearance and be
cause the dust and dirt of the streets is bound to
clog the pores. Can you imagine a girl appearing
at her office with marks all over her feet and ankles,
to say nothing of possible scratches and bruises—all
the result of her subway trip from home to work?
jllpil A truly ^tractive sight it would be, wouldn’t it?
*' , And those girls who have superfluous hair on their
*5; * "* >' *' ^e8s•' That must be removed each and every day
||| p I if it is not to mar their appearance. Even then
H .p* ■ \ the marks of removal, and there usually are some,
..v.: J .. may be evident.
JOSEPHINE Among the dozens of girls and women I per
HUDDLESTON sonally know there is not one, including myself,
fier beautV who ®?pld g0 bafelegged without detracting from

etna a more abundant growth
of hair.
Have you ever noticed how much
freer from hare the upper part of
your arm is than the lower? Have
you ever wondered why your hands
need twice as much attention to
keep the skin soft and white as the
forearms and upper arms? Have
you ever noted the three shades of
skin that are seen on the arms, the
upper arm being noticeably lighter
than the forearm and the forearm
lighter than the hands?
It is because the upper arms are
sheltered more than the forearms
and because the hands come m for
even more exposure than the fore
arms.
Aside from all this I think that
bare legs take something fine from
one’s appearance, even though one
may be otherwise daintily and
charmingly dressed.

Moody Disapproves
Tea, But Does Not
Censure Mrs. Hoover
AUSTIN, Tex., July 6.—{JP)—
Governor Dan Moody, while oppos
ing the mingling of races on a ba
sis of social equality today stood
squarely against any personal criti
cism of the first lady of the land
in connection with the recent eh
tertaining at the White House of
a negress.
Both houses of the Texas legis
lature recently passed a resolution
condemning Mrs. Hoover’s action in
connection with the tea.
Governor Moody yesterday ap
proved a part of the resolution, but
in a statement filed with the reso
lution, excepted “any part of the
resolution which reasonably may be
construed as a personal criticism
of the wife of the president of the
United States.”
Democratic party bolters who
voted for Herbert Hoover also were
excepted by the governor in his
statement from the resolution’s
criticism. “I do not officially up
braid any because they exercise the
liberty to vote views different from
mine,” he said, “nor do I approve
any attempt at official criticism of
any citizen’s vote.”
* Any min£ling of the races upon
a basis of social equality is intol
ffablf, and no precedent can jus
tify it, he said. “The ill effects
• • • are thoroughly demonstrated
by the recent contemptible public
utterances of the negro whose wife
was the recipient of the invitation
mentioned in the resolution.”
Smoot Completes
Sliding Tariff
Scale For Sugar
WASHINGTON, July 6.— (fp\ _
Chairman Smoot of the senate fi
nance committee, has completed his
tentative draft of a sliding scale
sugar tariff proposal as a substi
tute for the bitterly contested rate
increase proposed in the house bill.
Beyond disclosing it provides for
lower rates than the house bill
contemplates and he expects to
find favor with President Hoover,
the Utah senator, leading propon
ent of sugar protection, has with
held the details of his proposal.

ALICE WHITE
PALACE STAR
ARCADIA. HARLINGEN
Fec-ping Toms of the Azure are
being urged to discard their bin
oculars while burning .the airlanes
of Southern California. The eter
nal quest for beauty is being ham
pered in Beverly Hills and Holly
wood by aviators who fly too low
over tiled rooftops and open patios.
Enjoying sunbaths under sunny
California skies is becoming an ex
tinct privilege with the fair sex
and something drastic must be done
to invoke legislative mandates
against planes flying less than 1000
feet from the ground.
Alice White, attractive First Na
tional-Vitaphone star, is one of the
sorrowing ones. Hilltop estates fur
nish as little privacy as goldfish
bowls these days, and what good is
a patio when the blissfulness of a
siesta, sans everything, is disturbed
by inquisitive sky riders, says the
star.
With Alice appearing in roles like
“Broadway Babies,” a story of three
pretty chorines on the Great White
Way. sunbaths are as much of a ne
cessity as a luxury, inasmuch as her
entire figure must be kept as at
tractive as Broadway’s most famous
“shapes.”
“Broadway Babies” will be the
attraction at the Arcadia theater
beginning tomorrow.
RIVOLI, SAN BENITO
Sue Carol, who often has por
trayed the role of a “jazz mad flap
per” on the screen, is featured in
an original dance number, “The
Breakaway, in the William Fox
Movietone Follies, the most gigantic
musical revue produced for the
screen, now showing at tne Rivoli
theater, San Benito.
Not only does the popular Miss
Carol dance like, a veteran “hoofer,”
but she sings “The Breakaway”
song, written especially for her by
Con Conrad, Sid Mitchell and Ar
chie Gottler, famous New York song
writers, in a way that is certain
to make the number a tremendous
popular hit.
This young leading lady’s piquant
and vivacious personality is en
hanced tremendously by giving her
a voice on the screen. She displays
a talent for jazz solo dancing never
suspected until she was given a
chance to “strut her stuff” in the
Fox Movietone Follies. She also is in
other numbers—“The Breakaway” is
her particular specialty.
Miss Carol’is assisted by a chorus
of 12 girls and 12 boys, all of whom
are highly trained dancers. Jack
Wade, youthful “hoofer.” is a fea
tured member of the chorus and
was placed under contract to Fox
Movietone for his excellent work in
this number.

Billie Dove's future pictures for
1 First National Vitaphone Pictures
1 are going to be one hundred per
cent dialogue.
This decision was arrived at after
the sensational success of Miss
Dove’s last two pictures, “The Man
and the Moment” and “Careers,”
which will have its premiere show
ing at the Palace theater, McAllen,
Sunday.
Before tne advent of talking pic
tures, Billie Dove led all other stars
in the number of fan letters receiv
ed each month. Now her fan mail
has almost deubled, and most of
the letters contain requests for her
to appear in talking pictures. Fans
who have always admired her rare
beauty want to admire her charm
ing voice, too.
Probably her immediate success
in talking pictures is due to her
experience on the New York stage.
She was a Follies beauty before en
tring films.
It was this fact that influenced
First National Vitaphone Pictures
who produced all of Billie Dove’s
pictures to make her future ve
hicles one hundred per cent talk
ing. Miss Dove was extremely hap
py over the decision, stating that
the talkies have given her an ad
ditional medium of expression to
add to the old one.
“Careers” was directed by John
Francis Dillon. In the cast are An
tonio Moreno, Thelma Todd, Noah
Beery, Holmes Herbert, Carmel
Myers, Robert Frazer and Sojin, all
of whom talk, while Andre de Seg
urola, Metropolitan Opera star,
sings.
tone orchestra of 40 pieces is in the
pit, adding considerably to its at
traction as an outstanding revue
number.

DONNA POWER LINE
TORN DOWN BY WIND
(Special to The Herald)
DONNA, July 6—A high wind
which at times approached the ve
locity of a cyclone struck this vS
cinity just before noon Friday and
swept a short stretch of the Central
Power and Light company high line
across the highway between here
and Weslaco.
Power was off for a few minutes
as six poles were blown down. A
force of workmen soon had repaired
the line, and no other damage was
reported.
TILLOTSON NOT TO
RUN FOR LEGISLATURE
AUSTIN, July 6.—Rep. Leonard
Tillotson of Sealy, Austin county,
who has been given credit for writ
ing more bills on a wider range of
subjects than any other member,
will probably not be a candidate for
re-election next year, he has stated.
Mr. Tillotson now is serving his
eighth term in the legislature.
This year he has sponsored
measures in gas taxes, motor li
cense fees, water districts and ir
rigation, prison relocation, and state
policy on highway financing, water
rights, reclamation and education.

I have been going with a young
man two years. He is away but we
write to each other. I love him and
he says he loves me. But I have been
going with another fellow and he
wants me to marry him. He has a
nice home and lives in town and
my people would sooner have him.
He has lots of money and everything
I could want in a home. I would
sooner have the other fellow. Ha
says he can get a nice home, so
what would you do if you were me?
BILL.
BILL: It is always foolish to
marry a man you do not love. If
really love this man who is away,
you will take what he offers you or
wait until he is in a position to s’i m
port you. It seems to me that you
are not sure of your affections and I
sincerely urge you not to marry un
til you are certain of your love.
A marriage without love is almost
certain to lead to sorow ard regret.
We are three girls in our teens.
Please answer the following ques
tions:
1. Is it proper for a girl to speak
to a boy when she is with another
boy?
2. Is it porper for a girl to go
home with a boy from a dance if she
met him on that accosion?
3. Is it wrong for girls to walk
through business districts at night?
CHICH, VICKY and FRENCHY
* * * '
CHICK, VICKY and FRENCHY
1. Certainly, but if the two boys
do not know one another she should
introduce them and always strive
to make the conversation general.
2. A girl should be escorted home
by the boy who took her to the
dance. If she went unaccompanied,
it is perfectly proper for her to be
escorted home by a young man who
has been properly introduced.
3. Girls should not wander
through unlighted business districts
at night. If you want to take a walk,
stay on the main thoroughfares
where others are promenading.
Dear Annie Laurie:
I am very much in love with a
young man. I am very jealous of
him and do not want him to go out
with other girls but do not show it
in the least. Everyone seems to
like him very much and he seems to
like me, yet when he makes a date
with me he is sometimes late. I do
not say anything about it. I really
love him very much but try not to
let him know it. We are almost
nineteen years old.
Will you please tell me how to
make him love me? I am not the
type of girl that likes to go out with
different fellows.—M. G.
M. G.: There is no way to MAKE
a man love you. You can be pleas
ant and attractive and it will help
a lot, but real love is something
which cannot be forced. That is its
beauty, my dear. If I were you I
would try very hard to overcome
my jealousy. There really is no rea
son why you should feel that this
young man should devote all of his
time and attention to you. As for
his being late, I would twit him
good naturedly about it. Lateness is
usually thoughtlessness and not a
conscious affront. It is a weakness
from which many suffer.
