gasser since Saturday has shot sky

flames.
Thornton arrived last night from
Amarillo with his crew and imme-
diately began preparations TO tame
the wild blaze. a task at which
other oil men have failed.
Heavy galvanized guards were con-
structed to permit Thornton and his
crew to 60 closer TO the blaze, and
a large pit near the c0-foot crater
blasted by exploding gas was filled
with water to be released into the
well.
Several hundred residents have
left the vicinity Of the fire after
three buildings were destroyed. Der
ricks and other equipment have been

showed that the l75.O00 people In
the Valley spend IS. 900 an
nually on this basis.
"Of course not all the people of
Texas 20 outside the state on their
vacations, and some OF these
totals remain in the state. but we
should make avery effort not only
to conserve all this, but to secure
part Of the nations total"
Richardson explained that the
campaign which is being launched
has two phases. One. the part
which Is TO be worked on at the
present time, concerns the keeping
Of Texas people In Texas. The
other is to bring tourists from
othes states and from Mexico
into the state.
Letters were sent out from the
Chamber OF Commerce here to the
three large regional chambers OF
commerce in Texas. the South Tex
as Chamber, the East Texas Cham
Der and the West Texas Chamber.
asking them to cooperate in the
campaign. Letters also were sent
to the individual chambers Of
commerce in the state, TO auto
mobile clubs. and to other organiza-
tons which might in any way aid.
Richardson also viii make up
the matter with railroads, asking
them TO advertise Texas resorts,
instead OF those outside the state,
and will ask air lines, radio sta
tons, newspapers and other agen-
cies to aid.
The campaign must be a volunt-
airy one and really is very simple"
he pointed out. All that must be
done is for Texas people to put
aside any sectional jealouSieS, and
boost other sections Of their own
state.
Millions Can Be Saved
Chambers Of commerce should
keep on display booklets from all
other parts Of the state, and
should familiarize themselves with
these sections, urging people TO go
TO them.
Texas Is big enough to offer any
kind Of scenery, and any kind Of
resorts. There are mountains in
West Texas. with their streams
for fresh water fishing. There are
watering places in North Central
and Central Texas. There are sea
coasts from Orange to Browns
vile where salt water fishing and
bathing can be found.
Texas has larger cities, Hous-
ton. San Antonio, Dallas. Fort
Worth, etc, where the attractions
Of theatres, operas, etc. are Of
fered.
The climate ranges from the
tropics OF the Lower Rio Grande
Valley to the plains Of the Pan
handle"
The general plan in advancing
this campaign Is to ask all cham
bers Of commerce to study the
state, and To bring up the sugges-
ton at meetings Of such bodies
as they are held.
I'VE can save millions for Tex
as. and bring In millions from
other states in addition" Richard
son said. "All 1t costs us Is a little
cooperation. which we should be
glad to give"

These astounding figures OF
what the tourist crop In our own
state means should result in al
chambers OF commerce and other
organizations lending their SUP
port In the campaign" Richardson
said.
He explained that DR.. Klein
estimates that the American tourist
crop annually is worth $4,000. OOO-
600. That Is. that all American
tourists spend that amount OF

cloyed with all manner of art. Then
comes a hunger and thirst for ma
ture. Real thought gathering is like
berry gatherlng-one must go to the
wild vines for the racy-favored fruit.
Art AM nature are really the anti
podes of each other-one is original,
the other second hand. When we go
from the library or the studio to the
woods or fields, we go to get back
what art has robbed US of-the fresh
ness of nature. The suggestions OF
nature come-out of the mysterious,
invisible generator; but art merely
reflects its suggestions back upon ma
