Brownsville, Texas
gray lady of 77 years who has liv
ed in Oklahoma for the past ftalf
century. Mrs Johnson’s age has
not greatly dimmed her memory,
and she seemed glad to recall the
high points of Johnson’s early ca
reer.
"Hughie was always a fighter.”
Mrs. Johnson confided. “When he
was 17 years old he wanted to en
list in the Bapnlsh- American war,
but I discouraged him. I told him
that he was too young to go, and
that if he would stay at home his
father would get him an appoint
ment to West Point.”
From Political Family
The appointment was secured, and
this was the turning point of young
Hugh's life, Mrs. Johnson believes.
Following graduation he entered
active army service, where he re
mained until February. 1929. Re
turning to his home at Moline, 111.,
he became vice-president and gen
eral counsel for the Moline Plow
Company.
“The men of my family seem to
be natural born politicians.” Mrs.
Johnsin remarked with a smile
“When we moved from Alva, Okla,
to Okmulgee my husband was of
fered the position as first .nayor
there. But I reminded him that he
had promised to stay out of poli
tics, so he refused the place. The
temptation was too great for him.
however, and he served as second
mayor. After Oklahoma had won
statehood, he was a member or
the legislature from his district for
eight years My husband was an
attorney and one of Oklahoma’s
pioneer oil men. He died in 1920 ’
Mrs. Johnson recalls that during
his schooling at West Point, Hugh
was only mediocre, scoring high
grades In the subjects he liked and
very low ones In those he did not
care for. Mathematics were always
easy for him.
When the World War started,
Hugh made still another shift in
hts career, this time studying law.
At the time. the United States
needed international lawyers, so,
Johnson and three other West Poin
ters were sent to the University of
California to prepare for new voca
tions. Johnson completed the four
year course in 18 months, his moth
er says.
As the war progressed and Pres.
Wilson saw that it would be neces
sary to draft men into the service.
Hugh Johnson wrote the draft law
which later was accepted by con
gress. In the Johnson family now
is the first written draft of ;he ori
ginal plan with corrections writ
ten In by Pres. Wilson. Before the
law was passed, Johnson had set in
motion, on his own responsibility,
the machinery which made the na
tional draft possible.
Hoped He’d Be President
"Hugh told me at the time that
If all the information he had col
lected and the material he had or
dered were placed in boxes they
would reach around the world." Mrs
Johnson said.
Johnson has shown the safe In
itiative in taking over the NRA
job that he has in every undertak
ing his mother believes.
"When Hugh was a little boy I.
*f$ke all other mothers, wanted him
to be president. Now that I have
read of the hard work and long
hours Hugh Is putting in on this
job I have changed my mind. I
sincerely hope that he never occu
pies the White House."
Early citizens remember Hugh
when his father was postmaster at
Alva, and before the family moved
to Okmulgee in 1900. When peo
ple entered the building Hugh would
meet them and announce whether
or not they had any mall that day.
She Saw Land Rush
t
Young Johnson was 11 years old
when he, his two brothers. Mead
and Alexander, and his mother came
to Alva from Kansas to join Mr.
Johnson, who had received the nost
masterahip from Pres. Cleveland.
"The town was little more than
a watering stop for the railroaa.
but the government had to estab
lish postoffices in this section of
the country and Alva was selected
as one," Mrs. Johnson said
“I remember it all just like it
was yesterday.” she continued “We
arrived at Alva the night before the
famous Cherokee strip was opened
and It was from the top of a freight
car that I witnessed the historical
event.
”1 tied a sunbonnet to a stake
during the run and guarded my lot
until I became exhausted only to
discover that I could not keen the
land because I was a ‘sooner.’ I had
entered the strip before it had been
officially opened."

Tunics Given
Favor While
Hu es Festive I
By JOAN SAVOY
NEA Sendee Writer
They're dressing for bridge par
ties these days}
New bridge party dresses will let
you take first honors even though
your score doesn’t happen to be
very high. They are designed with
a deceiving casualness, for they
really are quite formal little num
bers.
Exquisite fabrics play a major
role in these more-or-less formal
ahemoon things. *:Jch metal bro
cades, soft woolens with metal de
signs woven Into them In modern
manner, squashy gorgeously colored
new velvets, slipper satin, pure silks
with embroidered designs, novelty
silks and wools that you don't see
every day In the year on every
body’s backs.
The trick is to get an unusual
material, of some color you haven’t
used or perhaps have never seen
before, and something that has in
trinsic value In Its warp and woof.
For we are right back in grandma's
day, in this respect. American wo
men have an increasing respect for
really lovely materials, and for a
dress of this type you can let your
imagination and your good taste
gu.de you.
Perhaps you only need a brand
' new blouse to give you a new deal.
For ihis you can dig up that ex
| quisite piece of Chinese brocade
! that Uncle Ferdinand brought you
back from old Peking. Or your
heart may find itself settling on
one of the new- lastex fabrics, or a
slithering gold or silver starred
crepe. If you cherish a failing for
things just a little bit gaudy, let
yourself go this Mice. You can get
away with what might practically
constitute a ’’loud" blouse.
Figured things are used for many
of the new daytime party things.
They are festive, particularly when
they appear in the new combination
of deep purplish violet and the
lightest lavender, or tawny brown
with gold and orange or glowing
red with metal touches. Stripes are
perhaps the gayest of all. So why
should anyone mind being put in
! stripes, Just for a party?
• • •
Tunics are new, so they are
stressed. And that ought to glad
den the heart of the women with
a little extra weight. Mature figures
take to tunics like ten quick tricks
to no-trump.
You always can get a separate
tunic to go with your three
quarter or long-coated suit. Sim
ply wear it instead of one of your
regular blouses, and you’re all set
for any bridge table.
One tunic dress that is particular
ly appropriate for occasions that
are informal, yet call for something
besides a business dress, has a black
velvet skirt that flares ever so
slightly. Of course it is made
right on a slip, wheih means that
you don’t have to wear a sei arate
slip with the outfit.
The tunic itself is black-and
white striped velvet with the vary
ing width stripes going around and
around. Generous, flaring shoul
der capes cover the shoulders of the
long, tight sleeves. It’s a high
necked model which emphasizes the
bosom and the delicate curves of
the waistline. A belt of self mate
rial ties around the normal waist
line.
The younger miss can be confi
dent of winning many a social bid
If she wears a charming bridge
dress in deep chartreuse with an
all-over design of gold.
It's the kind of a frock which Is
half ingenue — half sophisticate.
Slim and form-fitting, with & fur
frou-frou under the belt on one
hip. it has a decidedly devil-may
care dash about it. The dropped
shoulder neckline Is * Iged in a
wide circular ruffle which makes a
new fashion point—short sleeves for
informal winter wear. The neck
line is softly draped, high in front,
and ends In a deeper V in back.
Oreyhound racing is still popular
In England; last year over 20,178.
260 persons paid admission to the
50 licensed tracks.
Butterfly brains contain 80.000
nerves and 80,000 airtubes, yet tae

pinhead.
