A Valley Chamber of Commerce
Two indictments in the news of the nation re-
l kently should impress upon people of the Valley the
teed for a Valley Chamber of commerce.
One of these is the feat of Corpus Christi in tak-
'tig a bale of cotton from the Valley and moving it
o New York by airplane getting practically all the
ircdlt for the first bale of cotton. The bale was
\ frown at Edcourh.
Another is the announcement that directors of the
West Texas Chamber of Commerce are considering
picking a Valley man as manager of that organiza-
tion.
With a live Valley Chamber of Commerce such an
occur ranee as the moving of the first bale of cotton
out from Corpus Christi. with the subsequent adver-
tising and publicity for that city could never have
happened. For a Valley Chamber of Commerce
would see to It that the Valley received full benefit
from such an event.
Nor would the possibilities along this line be con-
fined in any sense to cotton. A Valley Chamber of
Commerce would never lo6e an opportunity to bring
citrus fruit from this section into the limelight and
would seek every opportunity to make known the
wide variety of produce shipped by this section.
The fact that chamber of commerce men in the
Valley are so highly regarded as to be taken away
by other sections of the state to help build up these
regions Is a good indication that the Vailey is miss-
ing Us opportunities by not organizing at the present
itmc a Valley Chamber of Commerce and having the
efforts of its proved commercial executives for the
kdvancement of this section.
J. E. Bell secretary of the San Benito Chamber
of Commerce president of the Valley Commercial
Executives Association and of the Texas organiza-
tion. Is being strongly considered as the next mana-
ger of the West Texas Chamber of Commerce.
This is one of the best chamber of commerce jobs
In Texas.
Bell has been secretary at San Benito for four !
years and during that time has worked so unselfish-
ly for the welfare of the entire Valley that he has
built up a reputation that appealed to the directors
of the West Texas Chamber of Commerce. Such a
man with the backing of the Valley as a whole could
do wonders for this section as manager of a Valley
Chamber of Commerce
Prosperity Pollard of Texas
His friends call him "Prosperity Pollard" now. His
Other name is Tomas Pollard. He halls from Smith
county and he is the chairman of the senate finance
committee. He has let it be known that the senate
appropriations bills exceeded by only $4000000 the
anticipated revenue for 1930 and 1931 "Prosperity
Pollard" maintains that the state treasury would be
enriched $54000000 during the two-year period. This
is the message of the Tyler lawmaker to the people
of Texas
' The state finance committee has adopted a plat-
form of prosperity and we are proud to recommend j
to the state measures which will startle economists \
but which will mean a new era in the development of
Texas.**
Prosperity Pollard strikes from the shoulder. He i
ts a native Texan and he knows his state and its j
wealth. Listen to this: “Ttvere is no indication of \
any shortage for the present biennium despite con-
tentions that the treasury will show a $2000000 j
deficit Sept. 1. and if the automatic tax board will j
cease politics and levy a 35-cent maximum tax. the j
men who have been trying to thwart development by j
tax reduction will have labored in vain.*’
A lawmaker with the courage of conviction de-
serves a place in the picture. Flowers for the living.

THE t)LD GRAD RETURNS
Scene: Almost any modern university.
(The grad Is returning for his first reunion. Com-
pletely amazed by the many changes he has tottered
to the information bureau for directions).
Secretary; Something I can do for you?
Grad: Why I can just get my bearings here. There
have been so many changes.
Secretary: How long have you been out of col-
lege?
Grad: Nearly six years.
Secretary: Ob. we ve built a new college since your
time.
Grad: So it seems Where’s old Totterby Hall
dear old Totterby?
Secretary: Totterby Hall? Let me think . . . Oh.
I remember now they tore that down four winters
ago. The new Douglass B. Slesslngham Memorial
Library Is there now. Eighteen stories high.
Grad: And how will I find Havermeyer? I roomed
there in my freshman year.
Secretary: That was one of 16 dormitories razed
to make room for the Prentice H. Moultrie 22-story
gymnasium with swimming pools on every floor and
a polo field in the basement.
Grad: Well maybe you can tell me how to find
the Thaddeus Twickett Chapel the dear old chapel
with its vinecovered walls. It was one of the love-
liest old -buildings on the campus but I can’t seem
to locate it.
Secretary: There was such a chapel. I think. It
was sold to a house-wrecking and Junk company to
make way for that new field stone and marble memo-
rial museum over there. Some millionaire tub-butter
magnate left it to the university.
Grad: Tell me. where I can find the historic Na-
than Jennifer Hall? I roomed there during my last
three years In college. I should like to see my old
quarters again. It was practically a new building
then. Surely it is still standing.
Secretary (as a steam whistle blows): There’s
what's left of it over there between that concrete-
mixer snd those tracks filled with stee! girders. One
of those steam shovels is scooping up the last few
pieces now. You’d better hurry!
(The old grad turns to hurry across the campus.
He stops in front of a car full of building contractors
snd Is knocked down. Rising he starts across the
campus again and is felled by a falling beam. Four
other grads pick him up and start for the infirmary

WASHINGTON. June 24.—‘Cohen on the tele-
phone.’’
This phrase often is heard when an international
conference is convened In Washington And it means
that B. Cohen interpreter extraordinary is ready to
give an almost simultaneous rendition of speeches be-
ing made in the conference tnto language the dele- i
gates can understand
To see Cohen at work makes an outsider think that
the man is endowed with supernatural powers. But
the Interpreter himself says that his Job is as easy
as any other.
The Pan-American conferences on arbitration and
conciliation and on trademarks furnished Cohen one
of the most difficult tasks he ever has had
The speeches were in four languages. There were
delegates who spoke nothing but English. There were
those who understood nothing but Spanish The Bra-
zilian delegates knew only Portuguese. And the Hai-
tians knew nothing but French.
• • • •
INTO EAR PHONES
Cohen as chief interpreter presided at a tele-
phone. Each delegate was provided ear phones. Co-
hen’s position was near the speaker As each word
or phrase was spoken he would whisper Into his tele-
phone.
A unit of ttie equipment used to magnify the hu-
man voice over a system of loud speakers in large as-
semblages or public meetings had been installed.
Great care had to be taken by Cohen to see that
his own rendition of the speech did not Interfere with
the delivery of the original speaker. He would move
from one end to the other of the delegate's table
carrying along his equipment.
It was up to the Interpreter to convey the meaning
and ideas of the speaker's address to the others. It
meant more than merely translating.
* t * *
RESPONSIBILITY
Approval or rejection of suggestions submitted to
the conference were made on the basis of Cohen s in-
terpretation and not of the original address. The re-
sponsibility placed on him is such that if he bungles
the whole proceedings of the meeting may become ut-
terly confused.
Cohen believes that the microphone and earphone
system Is a vast Improvement over the old system.
He still remembers International conferences where
interpretations were rendered after the original
speaker had finished talking.
He has no desire to return to the old system. It
is true that being forced to work simultaneously with
the speaker taxes the interpreter's mental powers to
the utmost but the time saved makes up for it.
‘•The interpreter has little time to get bored un-
der the new system.'* says Cohen "That is more than
can be said of the eld.'*
We hear very little complaint in these changed
times about the height of the kitchen sink but con-
siderable about the position of the brake and clutch
pedals—Ohio State Journal.

.. .. CHAPTER XXVIII
Kent made up his mind he didn't
understand women. Here was Viv-
ian—and he knew she didn't like
Dox-ie—making up a party to cele-
brate her solo and asking her.
"You might have consulted me.”
he said irritably. when Vivian
broke the news.
"Why. Kent?" She tried to look
serious but there was a gleam in
her eyes. “Did you and Dovie have
another engagement?"
He looked up from his dinner and
laid down his fork dramtlcally.
"Now I'm in for it" she chuckled
inwardly. But for once In her life
she looked him straight in the eye
and didn’t give a hang. Then she
laughed a ringing resounding
laugh that could be heard way out
into the kitchen. The cook stopped
her work and listened. Celeste
heard it and smiled. Madame was
happy.
Kent stared at her a moment In
silence. She made a face at him.
"You’re more klssable. sweet-
heart. when you smile and show
your dimples.”
He looked at her keenly.
“Vivian Johns have you been
drinking?”
She threw bark her head and
laughed until "tears ran down her
cheeks. He thought she was hys-
terical.
"Oo-o! You bad. bad mans
Whikseys is oney for bad bad girls
—not nice little girls like me."
She left no doubt in his mind
that she was imitating Dovie.
“You have been drinking.” said
he. coldly "with that damn artist
You ought to be ashamed of your-
self.
“He's not that damn artist.” she
answered him unperturbed. "He is
a very brilliant and a very lovable
young man. and I'm going to
marry him some day. maybe."
So! That was it. Kent had never
thought of that before. That any-
one could really be attracted to
Vivian especially a man as famous
as Barkow had never antared his
"But.” she taunted him when he
maintained a stiff silence “don’t
worry. Ill be off with the old love
Defore I’m on with the new.”
She passed by him to go to her
room and ran her hand through
his curly hair. He glared at her
fiercely. She leaned over close to
h:m. so there would be no doubt in
Ws mind that she hadn’t been
drinking.
“See. mamma not drunk baby
Mamma Jes cuckoo!”
She rolled her eye* and blinked
tt him. mischievously. This was a
r- <oite of himself
she saw a little grin turn up the
corners of his mouth.
"If that’s what a little air does
to you you better stay out of the
clouds"
"Moonshine made a bad. bad
girl out of li’l me. but not the
kind of moonshine your li’l Dovie
would object to."
"Shut up about hcr!“ he almost
yelled at Vivian and she ran from
the room gleefully.
• • •
Vivian was paying more atten-
tion to Dovie than anyone else at
her party. She said she was so
afraid Dovie wasn’t having a good
time. There was Cuddles. Bark.
Cubby and his friend. Dick Har-
rington. Dovie Vivian and Kent.
Cuddles was the life of the party
singing dancing and capering
around aided by Cubby. They did
some of their old “acts” and kept
the party In stitches. There was
no need for anyone else to make
merry.
The rest all except Dovie. sat
around sipping highballs slowly
and looking on.
"Oh. dear!” Vivian walked over
and looked at Dovie again where
she sat on the couch beside Kent.
"I am Just so afraid you aren’t
having a good time at all. I can’t
give you a highball or a cigarette!
These girls that haven't any had
habits or anv weaknesses are hard
to entertain ”
Dovie laughed her cooing nerv-
ous little giggle.
“Why. honey. I'm having a lovelv
time. Cuddles and Cubby are
SO-OO funny. They slay me "
"Let's take up the rugs and
; dance.” Vivian suggested. Then she
I went over and sat close to Kent.

I ately.
I “I’® all jealous of my 11*1 hus-
| band. He has danced with every-
body in the world. I bet. but his
Il’l wife.”
Barkow could see Dovie swallow-
! ing nervously—and he sat back ex-
pectantly. gazing down the end of
his cigarette as though his thoughts
were miles away Cuddles and
Cubby began kicking back the rug.
I Dick took a hand.
They turned on the radio and
from San Francisco came a fam-
! ous dance orchestra—wild and bar-
baric. Vivian pulled Kent to his
feet.
' C'mon. dance with mamma."
They becan to dance. Barkow
danced with Pat. Dick with Dovie.
Cubby with a poker from the fire-
place in his hand went through
fool motions of directing the or-
chestra.
Barkow held Pat close and
smiled into her eyes.
"You're a dam sweet kid. little
Pat.”
She snuggled closer to him. She
was always happy when she was
dancing and she had never danced
with anyone she thought quite so
wonderful as Mann Barkow But a
lot of good it does me. she thought.
I do believe he is in love with Viv-
ian-
Kent was thoroughly enioying
his first dance with his wife
"I didn't know you could dance
so hot" he grinned and she was
happier than she would have been
if he had handed her a million
dollars.
"Oh there are a lot of things
you dont know about me." she
looked into his eyes teasing.
He held her closer.
*Tm willing to learn. You don't
give me a chance.”
*T wonder if I nan make him kiss
me. she thought to herself . . .
here before Dovie ... it would be
priceless.
She put her head on his shoulder
and held him close. He was sur-
prised. But It wasn’t so bad having
her head there. She put her hand
on his collar around his neck and
pulled his head toward her. teasing
smiling her green eyes lit with
little lights that he had never seen
in them before. Slowly she moved
her lips toward his. tauntingly. Be-
fore Kent realized what he had
done his lips were on hers.
Barkow looked up. and Cuddles
seeing him stiffen looked at Kent
and Vivian. Her heart turned
over. Dovie was standing perfectly
still staring. She had completely i
forgotten herself. Vivian and Kent
were dancing slowly oblivious to
everyone in the room.
Kent Johns! Stop that!”
It was Dovie. white as chalk with
her hand on his arm. He stared
down at her. and Vivian stepped
back coolly and laughed lightly.
"Why Dovie! Can't Kent kiss his
own wife?”
'You—you.” she choked and ran
from the room.
Cuddles was trembling with sur-
i prise and appreciation of the scene.
' Oh what a victory*! She knew she
must get the crowd out at once so
that Vivian and Kent would not
suffer any more embarrassment.
Kent’s face was white and Vivian
looked as though she were going
to cry when she told them good
night. Bark walked home beside
Pat. feeling a queer lump in hts
I breast. But he was a man. and
; when he bent to kiss Pat good
night she gave him her lips glad-
ly and closed her eyes. He stood
in the vestibule of the Sullivan
house for fifteen minutes with Pat
in his arms.
“That's that!” she sighed as she
opened the door of her little room.
“But he won t remember me to-
morrow'.”
Vivian had just crawled into bed
when a light tap came on her door.
Her heart thumped .
"Yes—what is it?
“It's me. Viv. Can’t I come in
! a little while?”
Kent! She wanted to fly to the
door and let him in. But her voice
did not betray her.
“Oh it’s so late now—tomorrow
Kent.”
Then—it didn't mean anything—
after all—you were Just fooling."
She was sick with longing to be
in his arms. But I must not let
him know yet. she told herself
wisely . . . and he heard her laugh
and say “Good night. Sultan."

Health and Right Living j
BY ROYAL S. COPELAV). M. D.
Former CommlnMoncr of Health
"Blue Monday" Is famous for Its
depressing effects. A few people ap-
pear to have the blues on Monday
and every other day of the week.
They are constantly in the dumps.
To them life seems not worth
while. Everything and everybody
seems to be working against you. An
early death or an asylum of some
sort is thought to be the only thing
left. Life is a failure!
If you ever had the blues you
know the symptoms. The funniest
Joke will not bring a smile—on the
contrary it seems stupid to you.
You do not enjoy contact with fam-
ily or friends. All you ask is to be
let alone to die as soon as possible.
Isn’t this a dreadful picture? Yet
how many times you have gone
through Just such an experience.
When the cause of these speellls
commonly called the "blues." is es-
tablished they will not seem so seri-
ous. Nine times out of ten an upset
digestive system is the root of the
evil.
Indigestion constipation and the
resulting clogging of the system are
the real reasons for your knowing
you are going to die. The intestinal
fermentation produces gases and
toxins which poison the system
We must not expect to disregard
the laws of nature and still enjoy
good health. You cannot have an
unclean Intestinal tract and perfect
functioning of mind and body. They
simply do not mix.
Over eating—eating too much of
certain foods such as pies pastries
rich gravies or meats a combina-
tion of rich foods will upset the
digestive system. You cannot eat
three regular meals each day and
then eat between meals and before
going to bed. without paying the
penalty.
A headache perhaps nausea the
blues and many other symptoms
will surely follow such abuse of the
body organs. The machinery of di-
gestion and elimination can break
down just as machines of wood and '
metal will rebel if overworked
Waste no time in correcting the
trouble. Take a cathartic like cas-
tor oil. follow this with citrate of
magnesia or milk of magnesia. Then
reduce your diet to simple liquid or
soft food for twenty-four hours.
You will be surprised how soon all
vour troubles will disappear. The
blue will fade away and everything
will be rosy.
With this warning from Nature
correct your habits. Eat less often
and with more Judgment. Take a
short brisk walk each day Exer-
cise your muscles. Occupy your
mind with pleasant thoughts—seek
pleasant companions and read good
books You will be surprised how
such a manner of living will affect
vour disposition as well as your
health
