SO. AMERICA
NOW BUILDING
Era of Industry For
Brazil And Other
Nations Noted
EAO PAULO. Brazil. Feb. 22.—UP)
—All South America has under
taken to industrialize itself and
supply the manufactured goods its
people need.
It Is an uphill job. South Amer
icans have been thinking in terms
of land and agriculture for four
centuries. The Portuguese and
Spanish land grants were the basis
for all fortunes until recent years.
Coffee, sugar, rubber, cattle, fruit,
grains, rice and cotton supported
the upper class people and afford
ed labor for the workers.
Most of the large fortunes of
South America are in great es
tates. The rich are not inclined
to industries and will not invest
their fortunes in them to any
great extent. Consequently cap
ital has come from abroad.
Sao Paulo, which claims to be
the greatest Industrial city south of
the equator on any continent, has
grown into a city of 800.000 under
industrial expansion. It was for
tunate in having the world's great
est coffee district at its door. But
Sao Paulo no longer rests on cof
fee. It has profited by the abun
dant water power In this part of
Brazil and has set Itself to manu
facture the goods Brazil's 35.000,
000 inhabitants require. Cotton,
wool. jute, leathed, wood and all
sorts of metals are converted into
the articles required by Brazil and
neighboring countries.
Rio de Janeiro has also been in
dustrialized to a considerable ex
tent. It is Brazil’s greatest shoe
center and has important cotton
mills, hat factories and other indus
tries. It also manufactures wall
paper.
Brazil already manufactures
prctically all the ordinary wearing
apparel required by the masses and
is rapidly extending its factories
for the manufacture of more lux
urious articles because living
standards are rising rapidly.
New Bill Would
Depose Head of
School For Deaf
_ X
AUSTIN. Feb. 23—Effect of ft
hill introduced by Sen. C. C. Small
“by request” would be to legislate
T. M. Scott of Austin out of office
as superintendent of the state
school for deaf, here, it has been
disclosed.
The bill would declare the deaf
school an educational institution,
as it Is already classed, rather than
eleemosynary, and would prescribe
qualifications of its superintendent.
The bill would require the superin
tendent to be a school teacher of
three years’ experience and the
holder of a teacher’s certificate.
A similar measure was offered
in the house by Rep. C. S. McCombs
of Dallas, but has been changed by
committee to strike out the refer
ence to the superintendent.
Mr. Scott, who has been head of
the school for the past four years,
said Wednesday the school Is di
rected largely to giving its pupils
vocational training, as well as aca
demic education. He pointed out
both the industrial and the academ
ic departments are In charge of
trained principals.

tion of the Farmers Lumber com
pany here has been completed and
a lease on a site has been obtained
from the Valley Star Seed and

nounced today.

portion of the city, now is under
way. Principal stockholders in th"
new concern are H. J. Herron of San

property and the building will be
constructed in harmony with the
buildings of the seed company.
Mr. Shippe is well experienced in
the lumber business and will be in

Bill To Abolish
Frats At U. of T.
Not to Come Up
AUSTIN. Feb! i>T—Fraternities
and sororities at the University of
Texas will continue for at least two
years without the frown of legisla
tive disapproval.
Sea W. E. Thomason's bill, which
would abolish Greek-letter frater
nities from »the campus, will fail tc
see the light of day at this session,
and will die in committee, a mem
ber of the commMtee said Thursday.
The bill was given a hearing this
week, at which more than 300 uni
versity students heard attacks upon
the fraternity system, fervent de
fense of its benefits to students,
and a request from regents and
Pres. H. Y. Benedict that the legis
lature let the faculty and regents
handle the supervision of fraterni
ties.
Early Harvesting
Of Onions Barred
RAYMONDVILLE. Feb. 23 —
Warning onion growers against the
dangers of harvesting their crop too
soon, a bulletin has been issued by
buyers, in which it is pointed out
that if the onion is picked too early,
the crop will be a comolete loss.
This is explained by showing that
if the onion is harvested before the
moisture stops going to the top
greens, but instead goes to the onion
itself, the onion will shrink after
shipment, and not reach destina
tion in good condition.
The crop in the Raymondville sec
tion is declared to be in fine con
dition. ar.d an unusually large re
turn is nromised. Buvers now are
contracting onions in the field from
$1.50 to $2.50 per crate, depending
on the quality.
Shipments are not expected to be
gin until about the middle or latter
part of March, it Is said, this de
pending entirely on weather con
ditions.

BIRD REFUGEE
ACT^RAISED
Adequate Protection
Assured By Law
Jardine Says
Secretary Jardine of the United
States department of agriculture,
considers that the Norbeck-Andre
sen migratory bird refuge bill,
which has Just been enacted into
lnw by a unanimous vote of both
branches of the 70th congress and
by approval of the president on
February 18. is one of the most
important wild life conservation
measures that have been written
on the statute books of any na
tion.
The outstanding exception is the
related mtffrctory-bird treaty act
1018. which the present law Is de
signed to supplement. Both laws
were passed to carrv out the obliga
tions of the United States under
the treaty with Great. Britain to
orotect the wild birds that fly
back and forth each year from
Canada, and both will be adminis
tered by the Bureau of Biological
Survey of the Department of Agri
culture.
"The new law,” explained the
secretary, “gives additional force
and effect to the earlier measure
by providing federal funds for the
survey, purchase, and establish
ment of large areas throughout the
entire country to be maintained as
Inviolate sanctuaries—feeding, nest
ing and resting grounds where for
ever the migration species of birds
may enjoy complete protection.
“The measure as passed is a na
tional acknowledgement of the tre
mendous importance of the birds
of America as aids in the develop
ment of agriculture. It acknowl
edges also the will of the American
people to give adequate protection
to the beautiful and harmless crea
tures that are heard in season from
every forest, copse, and hedgerow
in the land. And it further recog
nizes the importance of the migra
tory game birds as a food supply
and primarily as an Incentive to the
healthful sport, outdoor study, and
recreational activity so essential In
the development of sturdy Ameri
can manhood.
‘The act definitely strengthens
the arm of the federal government
In its sound, constructive, and pro
gressive policy of bird protection.
Civilization and the advance of in
dustry, which have often been
ruthless in their disregard of the
needs of the wild creatures, are
influences that from year to year
have decreased the water and
marsh areas of the country by
many thousands df square miles in
the aggregate. It is evident that
close seasons, bag limits, and re
strictions imposed upon the gun
ners of America by the game laws
will all prove ultimately ineffec
tual to perpetuate our birds If the
destruction of their habitat is
allowed to continue unchecked.
