and compared point by poilit with the
standards for a normal child, in
order that the mother may see where
"she is succeeding or failing Th the
"care of her child.
_ These conferences are not a contest
or a clinic. They are intended for the
large number of children who, though
apparently well, are .rarely found to
be free from defects of some nature.
from some defect which might have
been corrected in early childhood, thus
preventing years of suffering and the
costly effort to cure.
No medical advice will be given by
the examining physician but if defects
are found the mother will be advised
to consult her own physician or sgfeE
iaiist. It is understood that the exam-
iher will give only educational advice
to the mother, and does not treat the
child.

A very destructive hail storm visit-
ed the Fail-view community and other
parts of the county north of the city
jon last Sunday evening,
From information gathered the haii
covered ^ territory nf fram twn tn ,siv
miles wide in some places. The hail
was most severe in the FaU'view com-
munity northwest of town, according
to farmers of that community. The
hail was als.o quite destructive in tht
Big Four community.
Hail th£ size^ Of hen eggs was sa^l
to have fallen in" these neighborhoods,
destroying most of the cotton that
was up on several farms.
From information gathered the
hail was heavy in portions of the
East Plains, north of the highway.
In "most instances heavy rains ac-
companied—the hail and just as 4u>ou
as. the ground was sufficiently dry
enough, replanting was started. As
a general rule cotton planting is con-
sidered late at this season of the year,
but even at this date, it is earlier
than most cotton was planted last
yea.*.
and a miniature cyclone made one dii^
in the canyon as" the storm passed
over. A few large cottonwooil trees
were blown down, it was reported.
Reports were''that the hail storm
passed over several counties as it

In a letter to The Review from
Jesse H. Jones. Chairman of the Na-
tional Committee on ararngement,
says that there has been some mis-
understanding throughout this sec-
tion of the state in regard to the
housing facilities in Houston during
the National Convention, beginning
June 26. There is now available
housing facilities in Houston apart-
ments and private homes to comfort-
Tiory nouse .>u,uuu persons uuiiy, unci
other accomodations are being receiv-
ed hourly. Rates will be from $2 to
$(i per person. These rooms are ail,
within two blocks of transportation.
He states further:
"Existing tourist, camp facilities
have been expanded to accomodate

cesses. ~
It is hoped that everyone going to
cars, or 10,000 personsr'
new tourist camps are under construc-
tion with facilities for 5,000 cars or
15,000 persons. These cHTrrpfrtrave run-
ning water, bathing facilities and'
sewerage. Many of them have cabins
a in I tents available. ''
"Therefore; the imj
Houston cannot "adequately house all
vi s ito rs during -the Di
ventibn is entirely unfounded. Every
person who comes to Houston during
this g-athering, will be properly hous-__
ed and fed.
"In order to save time and secure
the best of available rooms, we urge
those planning, to attend tho Conven-
tion to write the Housing Committee,
Democratic Building, Houston, for
reservation, and rooms will be assign-
ed immediately, if this is done, the V
visitor who has written in advance
for rooms will "be conduc
