MERGER PLANS
OF TWOCniES
San Bemto-Harlingen
Banquet Expected
To Inaugurate Co

^Special to The Herald )
SAN BENITO. Feb. 20—The
movement which has been launch
ed In San Benito and Harlingen to
work out a systematic program for
the gradual merging of these two
cities is believed here to be the
first of its kind in the state.
“I have never heard of any other
cities the size of San Benito and
Harlingen attempting such a pro
gram of merging in Texas,” said
J. E. Bell, secretary of the San Be
nito Chamber of Commerce.
Much Interest has been created
in the two cities by announcement
of the joint banquet to be held at
the Stonewall Jackson hotel here
Monday night. February’ 25 Ap
proximately 100 leading citizens
from each city are expected to at
tend the banquet, which will be in
charge of a chairman from each
of the two cities.
Discussion at this banquet, which
is expected to be the first of a
series of Joint gatherings, probably
will center largely on city plan
work, and amusement features for
the two cities.
Both Have Cltr Flans
“Both San Benito and Harlingen
have city plan programs. Mr. Bell
said. In San Benito we have been
working on this program for some

time, and we expect to have it
launched in the near future.
"Since it is only a question of a
short time until the two cities grow
together, it seems advisable to take
advantage of the present time, and
work out this joint growth in a
systematic way."
Several joint proposals for Har-1
’.ingen and San Benito have been
made, including a golf course, air
port, parks and playgrounds, plea
sure drives, and other such fea
tures. San Benito with the canal
through the western side of the
city, and Harlingen with the Ar-,
royo Colorado on the eastern side
of the city have an ideal section in
which to build up such loop drives, j
parks and playgrounds. golf
courses, and other such facilities, in
the opinion of Mr. Bell.
Golf Coarse Planned
Some progress already has been
made on a plan for development of
a golf course for the two cities, and
this is expected to come up for con
siderable discussion at the meeting.
Novel features of the banquet
proper are included in the prelim
inary plans. The present plan is
I for Mayor J. Scott Brown of San
Benito, and Mayor Sam Botts of
Harlingen to lead the group of bus
iness men into the banquet hall.
The two mayors mill be seated to
gether.
Following them will be Commis- |
sioncr J. F. Baughn of Harlingen
and Commissioner A. V. Logan of
San Benito, followed by President I
Tyre Brown of the Harlingen
Chamber of Commerce, and 7 esi
dent Ed H. Downs of the San Be
nito Chamber of Commerce. Oth
er officials will follow in like or
der. Including water district man
agers. chamber of commerce sec
retaries. and others. They will also
sit together, primarily in order that j
they might discuss phases of de- ,
velopment In the two sections with j
which both are familiar in detail, j
To Coordinate Work
"This plan of seating was de
cided upon because the two offi
cials filling similar positions in the
two cities will know best how to
coordinate their work,’* Mr. Bell
said.
The ‘Main street’’ proposal be
tween Harlingen and San Benito is
expected to secure additional stim
ulus from the present cooperative
move. This proposal calls for wid
ening the present highway between
the two cities into a street, with
a curb the entire distance. It is
definitely settled that the highway
is to be widened from its present
15 feet to 18 feet or more, but i
whether the plan for making it into j
a street at the present time is car-1
ried out is indefinite.
"It is certain that this highway
will be a street some day. and is
mainly a question of whether I
property owners along the highway i
wish to bear the cost at the pres
ent time.’* Mr. Bell said.
As soon as this highway is widen
ed development of other roads be
tween the two cities is to be taken
up.
Tickets for the banquet here
have been placed on sale at the
chambers of commerce in both San >
Benito and Harlingen. 1
FLIER LAUDS
CITY AIRPORT
-
Lions Club Hears Dis
cussion of Future
Of Aviation Here
Brownsville is destined to become
one of the most important interna
tional airports, and all efforts
should be coordinated toward
achieving that goal. Captain T. C.
Schramm of the Universal Air
Lines, Inc., informed the Browns
ville Lions club members at the
weekly luncheon.
Captain Schramm detailed the
rapid and phenomenal growth of
the Universal Air Lines from a re
cent one-plane concern to one with
a financial backing of well around
$200,000,000, with an ambition to
become the largest aviation or
ganization in the world, which goal
has already been achieved in the
United States. He complimented
Brownsville on its selection cf a
manager for its air port and stated
that the manner in which Browns
ville had gone about the develop
ment of its municipal field had
attracted the attention of the avia
tion world. He paid his respects to
the high quality of the local field
and said he could make no criti
cism of it except that It would have
been a little more convenient If It
had been a little closer to the city,
although he pointed out that many
of the airoorts are even further
from the downtown section.
Captain Schramm said there was
a very pronounced Interest in avia
tion in Mexico, which was partic
ularly true in Monterrey. He de
clared the air line through Browns
ville to Mexico and Central and
South America to be the most logi
cal and practical route and predict
ed that within a few years Browns
ville would be the moat important
aviation port of entry In the United
States. He pointed out how de
sirable this section, with Its maxi
mum amount of good flying wea
ther. would be for the establish
ment of Aviation schools by com
mercial companies.
The speaker urged the club to
spread the gospel of aviation to the
multitude and talk aviation and
boost it and cause the peoole of
this city to awake to the splendid
opnort uni ties It offers Brownsville.
When asked how best the Lions
club could further the Interests of
this citv. he advised that all pos
sible stimulation be given to the
efforts now being put forth to have
Brownsville permanently designat
ed as an International air port of
entry. He said in his opinion few
such ports would be established,
that such a designation would be
of inestimable value, and that other
cities were working hard to be
selected.
As a result of Captain 8chramm’s
talk, a permanent aviation commit
tee was appointed with Fred Shel
don as chairman, the other mem
bers being Holland Wood. Edmund
Levy and B. C. Price. This com
mittee was urged to take Immediate
action to assist in insuring the
designation of Brownsville as a per
manent international port of entry.
It is also planned to endeavor to
secure the presentation in a movie
news reel of Brownsvilles air fish
industry, which, as a pioneer com
mercial enterprise. Capt Schramm
states, is being watched by all
aviation circles with considerable
interest.
Mrs. T. Clark Gracey delighted
the club with several very talented
numbers on the piano. Plans are
already under way for the program
for the next meeting.

SENATE VOTES
FOR PRO BILL
Jones Measure Aimed
Primarily At Big
Bootleggers
WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.—
Opponents of the Jones bill held
their own in the debate that cen
tered about the measure but they
fell short when the vote came. The
senate passed the bill. 65 to 18.
The bill increases the maximum
penalty for first violations of the
prohibition laws to a fine of $10.
000, or five years in prison, or both.
The maximum penalty for first vio
lations is at present a fine of $1,
000. or six month imprisonment, or
both, and for second offencers a
fine of $2,000, with five years im
prisonment. Minimum penalties
were not changed.
The bill was not aimed at petty
offenders, as a provision Inserted
by the senate declared that judges
when imposing sentences “should
discriminate between casual or
slight violations and habitual sales
of intoxicating liquor or attempts
to commercialize violations of the
prohibition law.”
Discussion of the bill led to the
usual controvrries. one of them
being a debate between Senator
James Reed of Missouri, and Sen
ator William E. Borah of Idaho.
This held the attention of the sen
ate and a crowded gallery Monday
and there was argument until the
final vote late yesterday.
The bill was described by its
sponsor. Senator Jones of Wash
ington. as aimed primarily at the
big bootlegger. It had the support
of the prohibition bureau and of
Mrs Mabel Walker Willebrandt.
assistant attorney general in charge
of prohibition cases in the depart
ment of justice.
Thirty-six republicans joined
with 29 democrats in support of the
measure, while five republicans and
13 democrats voted against it. The
bill now goes to the house, but it
is problematical whether action will
be taken on it at this session.
_
BILL EXTENDS LIFE
RADIO COMMISSION
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-J.PS—
In contrast wnth yesterday's activity
when the house passed the white
radio bill and the senate approved
the Jones bill, today promised to be
a light one in rongress so far as
measures disposed of were con- j
cerned.
The house had arranged memorial
services for the members of the
seventieth congress who have died
in office, while the senate had on
its program the resolution by Sen
ator Edge of New Jersey, which
would authorize a survey of the pro
posed canal across Nicaragua.
Representative Eaton, New Jersey,
and Representative Garrett, of
Tennessee, the democratic leader,
had been selected as speakers to
pav tribute to the dead.
Tariff hearings were scheduled as
usual before the house ways and
means committee; a special house
committe had before it northern
Pacific land grants and military af
fairs faced a bill dealing with the
army.
On the senate side the interstate
commerce committee had arranged
hearings on appointments of radio
commissioners.
With the passage of the White
bill to extend the life of the radio
commission continued took heart,
since the senate had the Watson bill
which Is similar in its nature be
fore it last night. The senate ad
journed without action but a vote
is expected before the session ends.

Coolidge Not
Decided As To
Future Activity
WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.——
President Coolidge has not yet ar
rived at a decision as to his occu
pation after retirement from office,
although he has been approached
by several persons with proposals
that he write syndicated articles
for newspapers.
The president regards that field
as a fine one. but hesitates to bind
himself by the urgency of regular
production. However, he may write
occasional articles dealing with his
experiences and observations in
public office.
The president has told callers
that he is not in a position to make
a positive decision at this time.
This is in conformity with a pre
vious assertion that he does not
feel that his duties as president
permit him to enter into any ar
rangement with an outside interest
before his retirement.

Fuel system of the
new Ford has been ,
designed for reliability i
and long service
u
p __ .
THE practical value of Ford sim
plicity of design is especially
apparent in the fuel system.
The gasoline tank is built inte
gral with the cowl and is unusually
sturdy because it is made of heavy
sheet steel, terne plated to prevent
rust or corrosion. An additional
factor of strength is the fact that
it is composed of only two pieces,
instead of three or four, and is.
electrically welded—not soldered.
Because of the location of the
tank, the entire flow of gasoline
is an even, natural flow^—follow
ing the natural law of gravity. This
is the simplest and most direct way
of supplying gasoline to the ear*
buretor without variations in pres
sure. The gasoline feed pipe of
the new Ford is only 18 inches
long and is easily accessible all
the way.
The gasoline passes from the
tank to the carburetor through a
filter or sediment bulb mounted
on the steel dash which separates
the gasoline tank from the engine.
The carburetor is specially de
signed and has been built to
deliver many thousands of miles
of good service. Since all adjust
ments are fixed except the needle
valve and idler, there Is practically
nothing to get out of order.
Hie choke rod on the dash acts
as a primer and also as a regulator
of your gasoline mixture. Hie
new hot-spot manifold insures
complete vaporisation of the gas
oline before It enters the combus
tion chamber of the engine. -
As a matter of fact, the fuel
system of the new Ford is so
simple in design and so carefully
made that it requires very little
service attention.
Hie filter or sediment hslBi
should be cleaned at regular in
tervals and the carburetor screen
removed and washed in gasoline.
Occasionally the drain plug at the
bottom of the carburetor should
be removed and the carburetor
drained for a few seconds.
Have your Ford dealer look
after these little details for yon
when you have the car oiled and
greased. A periodic cheelrfngnp
costs little, but it has a great deal
to do with long life and contin
uously good performance*
