Can Cut to Rock-Bottom
By omitting various details of
the building according to 24 al-
ternate proposals submitted by
the contractors, the cost can be
cut to a rock-bottom figure of
‘$432,324, within $65,000 of the
estimate. .
In the event all alternates are
'deducted, Mr. Taylor will become
low bidder, being $2836 lower
(than the Dallas firm. All bidders
promised to finish the job by
Sept. 15.
„ Elmer G. Withers, architect,
said that the bids were “reason-
ably in sight of estimates." He
will make recommendations to

• Paris Attitude Veers Sharply After a Con-
ference of Powers Signatory to the
Locarno Treaty
By United Press
PARIS, March 10. France decided today to waive her
i demand for military sanctions against Germany and even,
\ on certain conditions, to withdraw her demand that German
| troops be withdrawn from the Rhineland.
The adamant French attitude veered suddenly today
after a conference of the powers signatory to the Locarno
Treaty, which Germany has denounced.

Dr. A. O. Singleton, of the Uni-
versity of Texas medical branch
at Galveston, will speak.
Dr. Singleton said medical sci-
entists have been unable to deter-
mine the cause of cancer, and
consequently have not developed
a cure. Temporary relief from
radium and x-ray has proven un-
satisfactory, he said.
He pointed out that rapid prog-
ress is being made In controlling
other major ailments and mala-
dies. This is especially true in
heart diseases and tuberculosis.
Dr. W. G. Phillips, Fort Worth,
district president, was in charge.
Speakers include Dr. Sidney E.
Stout, Dr. Jack Daly and Dr. E.
W. Wier, Fort Worth.
Others are Dr. C. R. Hartsook,
Ichita Falls; Dr. Sam K. Broyles,
Amarillo; Dr. Ted Hyde, Wichita
Falls; Dr. J. ,H. Ganday, Lipan,
and Dr. T. H. Harris of the uni-
versity medical branch.

“boots and saddles" crowded Ama-
rillo today for the annual conven-
tion of the Texas and Southwest-
ern Cattle Raisers' Assn.
Mayor Ross Rogers. In an ad- I
dress of welcome to the opening
convention session, warned the
cattlemen that "higher, taxes are
coming and we must meet the is-
sue courageously."
-“The cattle industry needs help
first from the Lord," he reminded
them, "In plenty of rain; and sec-
ond, from the Federal Govern-
ment, in rebuilding the tariff sit-
uation to restrict sharply imports
of cattle from other countries."
W. T. Coble of Amarillo, presi-
dent, called the convention to or-
der.
Gov. James V. Allred reminded
the cattle raisers that “the cattle
industry is essential to the wel-
fare of Texas. Other states were
carved out of new territory or |
born, but Texas came from the
‘hide and horn'." he said.
"Two problems of the cattle In-
dustry with which It has always
contended are paramount with
the administration at Austin," he
told them. "These are ‘rustling’
and control of tick fever.
"If previous appropriations had
been handled correctly, tick fever
could have been stamped out. We
had to fight- hard to get an ap-
-propriation for the Livestock San-
itary Board through the last ses-
sion of the Legislature.” - r
