Household hints: 1) If windows are rubbed with tissue paper after they have been washed with chamois wrung out of a quart of warm water to which a tablespoonful of ammonia has been added, they will have a brilliant polish; 2) When sheets wear in the middle, rip hems and make sheets into pillow cases out of each sheet; 3) After oiling a sewing machine, sew through a piece of blotting paper.  This will prevent any surplus oil from soiling material; 4) Beauty is more than skin deep.  Garfield tea, a cup nightly, often does more for your skin and complexion than costly cosmetics.  Expels poisonous body wastes that clog the pores and eventually cause muddy, blotchy, erupted skin.

Jim Crawford of Greybull, son of Mr. and Mrs. L.E. May, proved valuable to the Wyoming Cowboys Monday when they won the Sun Bowl game from Texas Tech 21-14. The Cowboys entered as the underdogs.  Because of his attainment of 104 yards gained in 13 plays, making his one attempted pass good for another gain of 11 yards, and his proven ball-handling abilities, Crawford was awarded the Dr. C.M. Endricks trophy given to the most valuable player of the Sun Bowl game.
