NO SPEECHES BY LADY
ASTOR ON NEXT VISIT
Numerous Public Appearances Result
In Intense Nervous
Strain.

New York, June THE next time
Lady Astor visits America, she intends
to make no speeches. That was what
she confided to reporters before sail
ing for England.
Few public sp\akers. or workers OF
any sort, are ever keyed to high ner-
vous tension with which Lady Astor
seems charged when,addressing an au-
dience. Her nervousness may not
have been 80 apparent to listening
crowds at her 40 odd public speaking
appearances in this country during
April and the first three weeks of May
but II one sat near her, the eye quickly
observed that she necessarily wrung
her hands behind her back and ran
her fingers over and under her jewel
cd bracelets, the muscles of her arms
and shoulders quivering from nervous
ness.
Somehow the strain never seemed
TO effect the clarity Of her speaking
tones. In fact. her talks to crowds, no
matter what their size, were in man.
ner friendly and informal. Always
she was breaking away from her pre-.
pared notes to start a sentence with
the loose, conversational now" or
well"
But when the speech was done. the
first woman member of the House Of
Commons was tagged out and intense
ly nervous. That, too, seemed never
to ruffle her smooth. smiling demean.
or, nor did her expression reveal fail
que.
Lord Astor knew how high.strung
the lady Commoner really was. and he
made II his job to keep her from talk
ing too much to friends just before or
after a speech. Nancy, Nancy" he
would call In warning whenever she
pitched straight from speech into
chats to which she seemed to give
just as much energy
Reporters seated Immediately in the
rear OF the speakers dias when Lady
Astor gave her farewell address noti-
cied tha ther shoulders suddenly deep
cned to pink flush as she got up to
talk. Then, when her message had
gone over. and there remained only
the two closing paragraphs, the ten
sion was relieved and the blush faded
from her skin.

ANcHoRlNG DRAIN PIPE
Extension Through Depot Pond Float
ed Like Empty Barrel.

Gu LihC GH'Pty S"''S"
The Lindholm construction company
is making progress in anchoring the
big sewer that drains the surface
water from the village streets and
runs through the Holden, Leonard
mill pond emptyIng into the main
stream at the dam. The sewer was
laid last summer. Formerly the
outlet was at the head Of the pond
near West Main street, but due 10
the fact that this pond water Is used
for washing purposes In the process
Of manufacturing cloth, the oil and
refuse from the streets proved unde'
sirable. The expense Of extending
the line was borne equally by the
village and Holden, Leonard.
It was not long after the new work
was completed that the sewer raised
or floated. This Is always the bane
OF engineers and construction men,
Unless the piping itself is heavy en-
ough or adequately weighted in pro-
portion to the flow in the interior
there is always chance that the pipe
will come up. The principle is moth
ing more or less than that Of float
ing barrel.
Cables are being strapped over the
tube every seven or eight feet apart.
These are fastened to longitudinal
ties which lie close to the pipe along
the base line and present surface
for ballast. When the work Is finish
ed the entire sewer will'b covered
with dirt and mud There is slight
danger of washing as the water in the
pond is always comparatively still.
