with the impressionable youth of

great open spaces" of the United

similar affairs of the so-called wild
and more or lessl Woolly West"
gave staid old England a ten-day
thrill that the young folks, at least.
never will forget.
Heretofore 1t always has been
the consuming desire of the youth
of England to run away to sea.
Since Tex" Austin and his brave
band have performed at Wembley,
however, all the adventurous lads
want to run away to Texas, or

boys.
