Corregidor has fallen but the stench of
Wheelers, Lindbergh’s and Nye’s speech still
linger in our mind . ,. the ones they were
making a year ago about complacency.
Those of you who visited the stricken
area in Crowell, did you notice that right in
the middle of the cyclone’s path, there was
one structure that stood? To be sure the roof
was ripped off and the windows smashed,
but the walls looked like they had suffered
no damage ... it was one of those homes
constructed of native rock.

Everybody in town, including myself,
said the radio aerial of KPDE would not
stand under its own weight. It didn’t. Tues-
day night during a high wind it gently made
a complete arc and next morning looked like
some giant caught hold of it and bent it in
a perfect quarter circle.
"The name Texas just about puts over
anything, There are two reasons for that.
The name itself brews visions of hell-bent
adventure and rare romance. And no matter
where a Texas-born now lives, he still rallies
to Texas. If anything concerns the Lone
Star state he’ll see to it that his neighbors
hear about it, be they in Wyoming or Flor-

Air raid wardens held a county-wide
meeting at the Municipal Auditorium in Wi-
chita Falls Saturday night. Electra, Burk-
burnett and Iowa Park were well represent-
ed .. . but no one knew it except each group
from each town. Bill Hood, Wichita Falls’
newly-elected “glammer boy” as mayor took
hold of things in the usual W. F. manner.
He sprained both hands patting the home
boys on the back and never so much as men-
tioned the visitors. Personally we didn’t
think the mayor had hung around the Wi-
chita Falls Chamber of Commerce enough to
absorb that attitude toward neighboring
communities and dismiss the whole affair
hoping that it was Bill’s inexperience as a
politician and was unintentional.
Any erroneous reflection upon tne character, stand
ing or reputation of any person, firm or corporation
which may appear in the columns of The Star will
be gladly corrected upon it being called #o the atten-
tion of the publishers.
Mrs. E. Mi. Eggenberg, president,
had charge of the meeting, which
began with a song followed by a
prayer by Mrs. E. M. Ammons af-
ter which they sang their class
song “My Faith Looks up to Thee.”
Mrs. L. N. Cruse led in prayer and
the devotional was brought by Mrs.
E. M. Ammons, teacher of the
class. Her talk was on the subject
of “Fellowship with God.” Mrs. Ida
Lloyd, second vice-president, made
a talk on “Secret Prayer” followed
by the song “Have Thine Own
Way.”
During the business session Mrs.
G. R. Morrow, first vice-president,
gave her report of the groups. Mrs.
Ida Lloyd gave a report on the
valentine social and visitors. Mrs.
J. M. Strecty gave a report on Bud-
get Subscribers. Mrs. W. C. Davis
gave her report on the donation
given to the Chinese. Mts. J. T.
Key was granted her resignation
Help Them Cleanse the Blood
of Harmful Body Waste
Your kidneys are constantly filtering
wjste matter from the blood stream. But
kidneys sometimes lag in their work—do
not act as Nature intended—fail to re-
move impurities that, if retained, may
poison the system and upset the whole
body machinery.
Symptoms may be nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the eyes—a feeling of nervous
anxiety and loss of pep and strength.
Other signs of kidney or bladder dis-
order are sometimes burning, scanty or
too frequent urination.
There should be no doubt that prompt
treatment is wiser than neglect. Use
Doan's Pills. Doan’s have been winning
new friends for more than forty years.
They have a nation-wide reputation.
Are recommended by grateful people the
country over. Ask your neighbor!
NEW TREATMENT FOR
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
Dangerous High Blood Pressure (Es-
sential Hypertension) is usually marked
by distressing symptoms such as dizzi-
ness, throbbing headaches, sleepless-
ness and nervousness. If disregarded,
this may lead to Heart Trouble. Stroke,
Paralysis, I lardening of the Arteries or
Kidney Trouble. Diamonex, new
formula of a heart specialist, is designed
to quickly aid in the relief of these
symptoms.
A Chicago resident says: “I suffered
from High Blood Pressure for several
years with increasingly severe throb-
bing headaches, dizziness and shortness
of breath. I showed the Diamonex for-
mula to my Doctor and, on his advice,
tried the treatment for two weeks un-
der identical conditions as previous
treatments. Witbin only three days my
bad headaches and dizzy spells were
gone. My high blood pressure was re-
duced and I sleep fine.”
Diamonex goes directly to work in
three different ways to aid in the relief
of these dangerous symptoms. Results
are speedy—within as short a time as
two weeks sufferers often find that
Diamonex has accomplished 75%
of the total reduction possible with
this formula. If you suffer from High
Blood Pressure you may try DIA-
MONEX without risking a penny. To
introduce this wonderful treatment to
a million new sufferers this liberal trial
offer is made for a limited time only.
SEND NO MONEY—just your
name and address to the Diamonex
Company, 316 No. Michigan Ave.,
Chicago, Illinois for a regular $2.00
treatment of Diamonex for only
$1 00 and a few cents postage. Use
Diamonex according to the simple di-
rections for only two weeks. If, at the
end of that test period you are not
delighted with results your money will
be refunded immediately on request.'
There are no "Strings or conditions—
you owe it to yourself to make this
wonderful test at once Wnte today as
this offer is fully guaranteed

LETTUCE, head
to pick appropriate and original cards for
each one’s “happy birthday.”
A nail doesn’t weigh very much, but
just this week the Cicero-Smith Lum-
ber company shipped 17,000 pounds of them
to Crowell to help rebuild the stricken area
there. And that’s lots of nails, but according
to those that know it will take a half million
pounds of nails to restore that devastated
city to its original number of buildings . . .
and driven one by one, that’s many a nail.

Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Sruard of Valley-
view will never let you forfet your birthday
if you are a friend of theirs. They keep a
comprehensive calender list of birthdays and
send out greetings cards for birthdays with
regularity from year to year. This is a most
commendable hobby and as the list grows
and the years slip by, I am sure they get as
much pleasure in sending out these birthday
rememberances as we, who are on the list,
get in receiving them. They take great care
The following comes from the Altus,
Oklahoma Times-Democrat, in explaining the
popularity of a popular song, passes com-
ment on the typical loyalty of Texans:
"The current craze tune, ‘Deep in the
Heart of Texas,’ could have been written

never have heard it. As it is, you’ll probably
never hear the last of it.
