ROY DI VAIL A POET

Roy F. DiVall, spending the winter
at Galveston along with other pluto
Gratis, send his friend, Geo. Rockwell,
the following gem of verse:
t'DOwn In Texas"
We're down here in old Texas,
Where you never have the blues,
Where the bandits steal the jitneys
And the Marshals steal the booze
Where buildings horn the skyline,
Where the populace is boost
Where they shoot men just for past
time
Where the chickens never roost.
Where the stickup men are wary
And the bullets fall like hail.
Where each pocket has pistol
And each pistols good for Jail;
Where they always hang the jury.
Where they never hang a man
If you call man a. liar, you
Get home the best you can;
Where you get UP in the morning
In a world of snow and sleet
And you come home in the evening
Suffocating in the heat;
Where the jitneys whiz about you
And the street cars barely creep;
Where the burglars pick your pockets
While you "Iay me down to sleep"
Where the bulldogs all have rabies,
And the rabbits they have fleas
Where the big girls like the wee ones
Wear their dresses to their knees,
Where you whist out in the morning
Just to give your health a chance,
Say "Howdy" to some fellow who
Shoots big holes in your pants;
Where wise owls are afraid to boot
And birds don't dare to sing
For it's hell down here in Texas,
Where they all shoot on the wing.

that they encourage the establishment

Visits of Foreign
NotabIeS in
Sight
~ .EAN EII0T.

m Fl E influx of distinguished
4 visitors from overseas is
rather slow in getting under way
this year. But with the arrival
of DR.. Wilhelm Cuno, some tirne
| German chancellor, promised for
next week and that fiery little
Welshman. David Lloyd George,
due in October, it is evident chat
washington will maintain its
usual standard.
1t is in the capacity of a. "fav.
orite SON. of Wales that Mr..
Lloyd George is coming and his.
visit is quite unofficial. However.
it was stated at the White House
yesterday that President Coolidge
expects to receive the former
British premier during the lat
ter's American tour. And 1t Is
quite on the cards that he will be
entertained informally at the
White House, ell formal enter
tanning being cancelled until the
three months of mourning for
President Harding are over. Mr..
Lloyd George, it will be re-
tnembered, is to be the guest OF
the Welsh Society while in this
country, and Secretary of Labor
Davis, himself a WelkhmAn by
birth, viii be his official eicerpne.
Once before we had the prom.
ise of q visit from David Lloyd
George, the one man Of all
Great Britain In meeting whom,
suppose, the American people
would be most interested. He
was named as q member of the
British delegation to the confer
ence on the limitation of arma-
ments, plans were made for his
entertainment here and the home
Of the late Mrs. Charles A.
Mum, which was put at his dis
posal, was made ready for Occur
pancy. At the last moment, how
ever, the British premier found
It impossible to leave London and
Lord Ba1four automatically be-
came chief OF the British arms
delegation.
According to present plans Mrs.
Lloyd George Is coming with her
husband and they are to be ac-
companied by Miss Meagan Lloyd
George. the pretty young daugh-
ter, who Is her fathers constant
companion and playmate.
Former Chancellor .Cuno will
not be guest at the German
embassy. although it is probable
that he viii be entertained there
during his visit in Washington.
It is expected that he will stay
at the Shorellam Hotel.
