...Detroit housewife appeared with a black eye. One mother bounced 880 miles from Columbus on a motorcycle. Houston women, like all good Texans of 1936, boosted their State's Centennial by wearing cowboy hats. From San Francisco arrived a team calling itself the Dr. Painless Parkers,* arrayed in jockey caps, white satin blouses, black satin pants.
