Marquis To Take
Lindsay's Post
Early In June
Amhassador-To-Be Today
Urges England Conscript
All Available Manpower
LONDON — (UP) — Appoint-
ment of the Marquis of Lothian,
the "Colonel House" to David
Lloyd George at the Paris peace
conference, as British ambassa-
to Washington succeeding
*lr Ronald Lindsay, was an-
nounced by the government.
"The 57-year-old marquis, who
is widely kown in the United
States and for years has identi-
fied himself as a champion of
"treaty politics" as opposed to
power politics, will assume his
new post sometime during the
summer after Sir Ronald's retire-
ment.
Lindsay, appointed ambassa-
dor to Washington on Nov. 12.
1929, is retiring from the diplo-
matic service for reasons of
health but will remain at his
Washington post until after the
American visit of King George
VI and Queen Elizabeth in June.
Lindsay will be 02 years old
on May 3, he returned to
Washington in February after a
vacation in Britain and revealed
that he was about to retire.
The Marquis of Lothian, who
became a marquis in March,
1930, still is better known to
many Americans and Britons as
Philip Henry Kerr, secretary

To Correct Constipation
Don't Get It!
Why let yourself in for all the
discomfort of constipation-and
then have to take an emergency
medicine-if you can avoid both
by getting at the cause of the
trouble?
If your difficulty, like that of
millions, is due to lack of "bulk"
in the diet, the "better way" is to
eat Kellogg's All-Bran. This
crunchy toasted cereal-a natu- ,
ral food, not a medicine-has just
the "bulk" you need. If you eat it
every day, it wijl h?Ip you not only
to get regular but to keep regu-
lar, month after month, by the
pleasantest means you ever knew!
Eat All-Bran daily, drink plenty
of water, and "Join the Regulars."
Made by Kellogg's in Battle
Creek. Sold by every grocer.
Ward Sale Is
Well Attended
Attendance during the first 5
days of the Ward Week sale
have exceeded the most optimis-
tic hopes of K. H. Boyle, Bont-
gomery Ward store manager
here.
He stated today that shop-
pers had been coming into the
store from as far away as Odessa,
and that there was every indi-
cation that at)tend|ince would
continue on the same or even a
greater scale for the remainder
of the sale which ends Satur-
day.
"The shoppers," lie said, "seem
to be fn 1 ly aware of the low
prices brought about by the
months of planning and mass
buying. And it is indeed gratify-
ing to see their response. They i
are taking their mood from the!
holiday atmosphere of the store;
and its displays, anil the buying J
has been heavy not only in the
staples but also in sporting
goods, fashion accessories and
other merchandise not classified
as strict necessities."
Six months of preparation,
big orders and other buying eco-
nomies were necessary to bring
about the greatly reduced pric-
es during the sale, according to
Mr. Boyle.
"But 1 credit just as much of
the early success of this sale
to advertising placed in this
newspaper," he said. "Without
a messenger to carry the mes-
sage. no amount of good buying
or expert planning would have
helped."
News Briefs
from 1910 until 1921 to Lloyd
George, wartime premier of Brit-
ain.
His last government post was
that of chairman of the Indian
franchise committee in 1932 and
since 1925 he has been secretary
of the Rhodes trust.
The in a r< | li is today made a
strong pica for the introduc-
tion of British military coil-
script ion at a luncheon of
the citizens' service league.
It is not undemocratic to havfe
compulsory national service, he
said, because of the far-reaching
menaces of nazi-fascist domina-
tion.
In pleading for national son-
script ion, Lothian stood with
such British leaders as Winston
Churchill.

merce convention in Abilene.

en from nominees from the va-
rious cities.

testants are to be chosen at

ment.
Medals are to be presented to
the first three winners by the
Sweetwater club and the first
place winner is to represent the
city in the contest at the WTCC
convention.

Hy IONIC D. PERRY
Both entertaining and educa-
tional was the travelogue, "Sun-
lit Norway Calls" by Mrs. Gladys
Petch, illustrated with hand-col-
ored slides Monday evening at
the Municipal auditorium. Pi-
ano music by Chas. Gallagher,
and native Norwegian songs
sung by Elora Sornsen in cos-
tume added a realistic and artis-
tic setting for the picturesque
scenes of "The Land of the Mid-
night Sun."
The program was the last of
a series of three in a Musical Se-
ries from Hollywood presented
by the Music Study club for
the second consecutive season.
A large group of school children
enjoyed the travelogue, with a
fair-sized audience of adults.
Mrs. Petch, English born and
educated, has spent many years
in Norway, where her husband
was professor of the English
language at Oslo university, and
she showed an intimate knowl-
edge of her subject.
Costumes and customs of the
Norwegians, and a comparison
of those of 1,000 years ago com-
pared with modern costumes and
architecture proved interesting
to the audience, as much as the
beautiful scenes of the fjords and
sunlit valleys, and finally a trip
across the Arctic circle to "the
roof of Europe," at the farther-
most point of land in the old
world.
Pictur e of the Royal family
of Norway in their home and
gardens, taken by the royal pho-
tographer and tinted by a secret
process, were shown at the be-
ginning of the lecture, as were
photographs of the Crown Prince
and Princess of Norway who are
en route to the United States,
arriving in New York April 27.
Mrs. Petch will meet the
Crown Prince and Princess in
New York. She was instrumen-
tal in making many arrange-
ments for their visit to the two
expositions in San Francisco and
New York, and was presented to
their Highness last fall in Nor-
way before she left for America.
She is returning to Norway in
June to spend the summer lec-
turing and showing scenes of |
America.

Violin Students
Honored At Austin
Two Sweetwater violin stu-
dents, Mary Lee Jensen and
Billy Williams, won a grade of
"excellent rating" when com-
peting in the violin contests
Saturday on junior clubs day
at Austin at the Texas Federa-
tion of Music Clubs.
Billy won by eight points ov-
er his opponent in the 14 year
old class; while Mary Lee won
by nine points over three San
Antonio students in the 12 year
old division. Mrs. Kathryn Car-
ter Wells, instructor, said the
judge complimented the two stu-
dents highly. They have had
two years of study and lacked
only one point getting a superior
ratine which is the highest
available.
Besides Mrs. Wells, the stu-
dents were accompanied to Aus-
tin by their mothers, Mrs. M. H.
Jensen and Mrs. George Wil-
liams.
