out. The questionnaire will be
printed the latter part of this week,
and circulation figures for the new
paper are said already to face a
healthy growth. This paper is said
to be among the unauthorized pe
riodicals challenged in the honor
council hearing.
John W. Woodruff of Paradise,
brother of Ren. H. Grady Woodruff,
former B hall “Barb” leader, is
among the 50 called on the carpet by
the honor council.
Issuance of the sex questionnaire
at Missouri resulted in the resigna
tion of two long-time professors
and the promised resignation of
other instructors and the threatened
resignation of student instructors.
Students protested the drastic ac
tion of the school authorities.
Replies to the questionnaire here
will be forwarded to Dr. Max Meyer
and Dr. C. O. DeGraff. ousted
Ozark instrctors, it was said.
The governing board of Missouri
university held that the question
naire “dealt with subjects which are
too intimate” for such treatment.
In placing the questionnaire before
local students “The Barb” an
nounced it is cooperating with the
former Missouri officials in an at
tempt to obtain information about
the modern attitude toward mar
riage and family life. The tabulated
results of the quiz on the Texas
campus will be published in this
weekly, the editors said, and will be
vorwarded to the professors who
originated the plan at Missouri
university.
The questions are said to deal in
great frankness with student views
on questions of pre-marital and ex
tra-marital relationships.

LAW TALKS TO
ROTARY CLUB
Aviator Tell* of Opportu
nity For More Business
With Monterrey
Brownsville has an unusual op
portunity, because of airmail con
nections' to establish closer business
connections with the Mexican city
of Monterrey, Major Bernard Law
of this city told the Brownsville
Rotary club Wednesday.
Major Law pointed out that Mon
terrey is the nearest “big city,” and
can be reached by air from Browns
ville in about one hour and fifty
minutes.
He told of flying the airmail from
Torrecn and Monterrey to Browns
ville one day this week, in which he
handled some six bags of mail, and
the transfer of a considerable
amount of money for Mexican
banks.
“That w’as an increase as com
pared writh the dozen or two letters
handled on the initial flight three
weeks ago,’ he said.
The flyer urged Brownsville re
tailers and wholesalers to establish
closer business relations with Mon-1
terrey, pointing out as worth while
occasional daily trios to that city.
He said that it is possible to leave
Brownsville at 7 a. m., arrive in
Monterrey at 8:50, see the city and
have lunch, and return to Browns
ville well before sundown in the I
afternoon.
“The big show—the inauguration J
of airmail—is over; it is now a j
proposition of getting down to real |
hard work to make this a continu- j
ously important airport,’ Major Law
said.
George White. W. S. West, Mat- i
thew Love S. A. Caldwell. J. G.!
Starck, and W. O. Washington re
turned to the city Wednesday
morning after attending the dis
trict Rotary convention at Houston.
Brief reports were made by White
and West, and more detailed re
ports will be given next week by
Love and Washington, the official
delegates to the convention.
W. T. Burnett was introduced as
the “baby member” of the Browns
ville club.

Store Burglar
Given Two-Year
Prison Sentence
Allen O. Randolph, charged with
burglarizing the Brock feed store
in San Benito several weeks ago.
was given a two year sentence in
criminal district court Wednesday
after pleading guilty and applying
for a suspended sentence.
Randolph, according to testi
mony. entered the store and while
the proprietor was busy with cus
tomers grabbed $63 in cash and
approximately $200 in checks front
the safe. The proprietor gave
chase when Randolph ran out of
the door, and after pursuing the
burglar some distance another man
entered the race and finally cap
tured Randolph. The money and
checks were found in his posses
sion.
Randolph was brought back to
the store and a search revealed a
Masonic ring which officers later
ascertained had been stolen from
an offiecr in Harlingen.
Three character witnesses were
placed on the stand, but the testi
mony revealed that Randolph, who
came to the Valley from Houston
several months ago. had been in
trouble at Edinburg previous to the
San Benito burglary.
