Tho bankers look on the reparation

STAMFORD Texas Juno . A slo-
gan for West Texas somethlhg dis-
tinguishing catchy descriptive "all-
fitting" is suggested by a prominent
West Texan writing to tho West Texas
Chamber of Commerce. Somo Texas
towns Jt is pqlnted out have adopted
appropriate slogans that have attain-
ed natlon-wido attention.
Tho word "Sunklst" and kindred de-
hyphenated words haVo meant much
to largo concerns operating in stat3
which haVo been much touted. ' A
contributor to tho "slo"gan.fund"' of the
organization comes forH'nrd with l""ie
suggestion that tho seal Of Texas
a five-pointed star within d dotible-
bordored circle be the hunts for thu
.slogan effect. Every West Texas
firm would havo its namo in tho double-lined
circlo at the ton and the
words "It's West Texas" In the circles
beneath tho star. Similar designs nave

ope and advertising sent out. It Js
likely that at tha next executive board
meeting of tho West Toxas Chamber
of Commerce a movement will be
started throughout West Texas to se
cure tho slogan.
"West Texas lias California tumbled
off the boards when t cornea to cli

West Texas recently "ft West Texas
would put out half as much mohey for
advertising Its climate and advantages
as California puts out. California's
fame as a winter and summer resort
would fado Into nothingness" ho con-
cluded. This 1b only an Instance of
tho many letters pouring Into tho West
Texas Chamber of Commerce head-
quarters hero which call for somo ef-
fectlvo design which will give distinc-
tiveness to publicity and advertising
Which tho organization is broadcast-
ing throughout tho confines of tho
United States.
Suggestions ns to such a design Will
bo received by tho organization. Somo

NEW YORK June 8 i'ho next
tlmo Lady Astor visits America sho
Intends to mako no wpceohos. That
was what she confided to roportcrs
beforo sailing for England.
Few public speakers or workers of
any port aro over keyed to tho high
nervous tension with which Lady Ali-
tor Booms charged when addressing an
audience. Her nervousness may not
havo been so apparent to listening
crowds nt her 40-odd public speaking
nppearances in this country during
April and tho flnst thrco weeks of May.
But if ono sat near her tho eye quick-
ly observed thatho Incessantly wrung
her hands behind her back und ran
her fingers ovor and under her Jewel-
ed bracelets tho muscles of her arms
and shoulders qulvcrlpg from nevoils-
ness. Somehow tho strain never seemed to
affect tho clarity of her speaking
tones. In fact her talks to crowds
no matter what their size wero in .
monnor friendly and informal. Always
sho was breaking away from ner pre-
pared notes io start a jsnteuco. with
tho looso conversatalonal "now" or
well "
But when the speech was done the
first woman member of tho Houso ot
Commons was fagged out and Intensely
porvous. That too. doomed never ta
ruffle her smooth smiling demeanor
nor did her expression reveal fatigue.
Lord Astor know how hgh-strunir
the Lady Commoner really was. and
ho made It his Job to keep her from
talking too much to friends Just be-
foro or after a speech. "Nancy Nan-
cy" ho would call in warning when-
evei she pitched straight from
speech Into chats to which sho Beem-
ed to give Just as muah energy.
Reporters seated immediately in the
rear of tho spcaker'e dlas when Lady
Astor gavo her farewell addrew no-
ticed that her shoulders suddenly
deepened to a pink flush as aha sot
up to talk. Then when her message
had gone over and thero remained
Only tho two closing paragraphs tho
tension was relieved and the blush
faded from her skin.
