IN OUR
VALLEY
, By CHARLES HALL

Valley Just blooms right along
Talked to a man yesterday after
noon, who said that he came TO the
Valley ten years ago on a home
seekers excursions. Declared that
he hurried back home-one Of the
Dakotas, not Wisconsin-feeling that
he had the biggest lot of real estate
lies told him he had ever listened TO.
In fact the word dreams so piq-
ued his curiosity. that this time he
quietly drove down with the good
wife to see what had happened,
meanwhile. And to his astonish-
ment, even more than the ambitious
realtors told him would happen has
happened. He declared none could
tell what the next ten years will
bring. He is still visiting in Browns
vile, and is, a ripe prospect for a
new citizen.
Once upon a time. children Of a
northern family were telling Valley
children Of southern parents how
their folks won the civil war. yes"
said the southern born child, but
we sold your folks the Valley" Now
look what a good deed they did.
AND TO furthermore prove that
"A truth is stranger than fiction.
w. Z. Scott, whose home was not
given, Is suing the Texas Electric
Railway company for damages be-
cause a buZzard hit him in the eye.
Well. the BLIZZARD didn't exactly
hit him in the eye, but it hit the
window glass and a silver flew in
his eye. 1t raised a big court ques-
ton Of the buzzard hazard.
no our mind there are three great
national songs in America. One,
the Star Spangled Banner, an
other America, and third, which
again constitutes a charm, Our VAL
ley Home.
The kind Of publicity that the VAL
ley needs in far distant parts Of the
United States is to do away with
any idea, especially among the wo-
men folk, that to come down into
the Valley to live will be going to
one Of the far ends of the earth.
way down upon the Rio Grande"-
but to a veritable land OF orange
blossoms and sunshine. where civil
ization is taking the lead in Texas.
ETHE London naval Farley will open
on January 81. Plans are being
mace 10 make Of It o big radio
occasion. A series OF SIS weekly "a
dioca5ts by ENJOYS of all countries
represented at Washington will
start on that date. Sir Esme Ho-
ward will lead the procession, the
line OF which will be determined by
diplomatic seniority. Music Of the
various nations will also be played.
Dwight Morrow has been drawn
out OF Mexico to attend the meet
ing in London. But judging from an
entry in the British Who's Who he
will either have TO be introduced
again, or the publication corrected.
He is entered as Dwight Davis"
And SO far as we are personally
Concerned they can leave out the
chinese music.
Two dangers to America are being
pointed out from two different
sources. These are too much
noise and too little food. Please get
hat last named, in view Of another
srend which has been the vogue for
4 number of years. The too much
noise idea comes out New York. II
is said that DR.. Foster Kennedy Of
Cornell Medical College has found
after tests on rats that noise re-
duces energy IL per cent. Noise he
declared is the cause Of Sc many
middle aged men dropping dead on
CITY streets.
ZINE too little food idea comes
from DR.. Hermann Gerbis. public
health expert Of Germany. He says
the American quick lunch counter
is regarded as an evil. What the
human body needs at high noon is
a square meal not a snack, and a
snooze should follow" he says.
That noise business may be all
right except we do not like to be
compared to a rat, and We obese
persons delight in the idea OF a
square meal and a snooze. Doctor
couldn't you have made that
"snooze" a good sound sleep after
each meal. Then if somebody will
only come along and make a week
OF one day pay day and the other
day Sunday.
THE outstanding general In con-
gress the past few days seems
to be General Debate.
YESTERDAY In speaking Of auto
mobile accidents, we sounded a
note against further legislation
on the matter.
We are still Of the same opinion
but some seem 10 have miSunder-
stood our meaning. What We meant
was there is no need OF placing new
laws on the statute books, but 70
enforce those we already have.
This idea is for the benefit OF
those, whom an educational cam
paign will never affect. Stick a heavy
fine on them. When the pocket
book is reached they will stop TO
listen. And then we might have one
new law making about a three day
iail sentence for speeding possible.
Then the speed merchants will quit
talking about the number of sec
onds they clipped off the record OF
some given distance. This idea is
to protect those who hold their own
lives dear and drive carefully at al
times.
Careful drivers find themselves
rarely in danger Of an accident
from what they r going to do.
Their danger turks in what the other
fellow is going TO do.
