Ter rell, of the Texas department of agriculture, determined that the Mediterranean fly, dread fruit and vegetable pest, shall not penetrate the borders of Texas, has an nounced he will declare a strict Quarantine against Florida fruit1 ! and vegetables. The “limited” quarantine already ; decreed against Florida by the United States department of agri culture evidently fails to satisfy Commissioner Terrell, although its terms are said to be the most drastic ever decreed in a plant quarantine. Texas can not afford to trifle tyith a pest which constitutes such a serious menace. The Mediterranean fly is said to attack 71 fruits and vegetables—in cluding cotton, which ever that is. i » * • Under the rules and regulations governing the quarantine in Flor ida, the state will be divided into three zones. I The first will be the infested areas in which all fruits and vege tables which are hosts tp the fly will be destroyed. The second zone will extend nine miles in every direction from the limits of the infested zone and will be known as the protective zone. Fruit and vegetables from the j protective zone will be permitted to move in interstate shipments only after a complete inspection has determined that no vestges of the pest are in them. All portions of the state not in truded in the infested or protective zones will fall within the third zone. This will continue until the exact area of infestation has been accurately determined. Fruit and vegetables grotvn in this zone will be permitted to move outside the state, but only after rigid inspec tion. ♦ • • EDINBURG CITIZENS, determ ined to make their city clean and bright, everr a “Spotless Town,” * Saturday inaugurated a cleanup *8Lgn in a novel way. were sold on the streets all aturday by members of the Reserve, the proceeds to be ' paying the cost of the r ^ags were provided by the _k^nnd Professional Women's club.

Members of the Business and Professional Women's club and the Kiwanis club have decreed that every place in town, including vacant lots and alleys, is to be thoroughly cleaned in that period.

DANCY was busy Saturday afternoon stag ing a kind of private celebration over the attainment of one of his pet goals—and he has many. The last concrete was poured on the Fourteenth street road during the day, connecting the site of the future deep water port' with the city by a paved highway. But this was only incidental to Judge Dancy's celebration. The cause for his “jubilation" was that completion of the Four teenth street road put the seventh spoke in the wheel of highways coming into Brownsville. Judge Dancy was busy drawing a map of the layout for his friends. * * * Drawing a circle to represent Brownsville, he would run a line east and label it “Southmost road.” A second line heading a little more north represented the El Jardin boulevard. Then he would travel „ on around the circle adding in their proper order “Fourteenth street.” “Old Point Isabel,” “Parades Line ” “Highway No. 12” and “Military Road.” The judge was celebrating by lay ing out a number of “rims" high ways which would encircle the city and tie the existing roads together. • • 0 The most important spoke to be added to that wheel, and one which will add equally as much, if not more strength to the whole, is ‘ the highway to Boca Chica beach. ; Brow-nsville and the Valley never will begin to realize op her outing possibilities until that road is built lAs importaiit as the other roads I ire, a Boca Chica beach road aikely would earn a larger net re turn than any of them by provid lg easy year-’round access to the grUlf.

EXPORT PLAN MAY NOT WIN $ Check of Senate Membership Reveals That Bill Stands Slim Chance WASHINGTON, April 27.—— After a check of the senate mem bership, administration leaders claimed today that the export debenture plan would fail to win a place in the new farm relief bill. The leaders thus have determined to let the plan come to a vote as soon as possible but it was regard ed unlikely that the farm bill would be passed before the end of next week. President Hoover is taking a per sonal interest in the fight by con ferring with Senators regarding his own view in opposition to the de benture plan. The first TSgn of a break lh the ranks of middle western republi cans. generally considered the dem ocrats’ staunchest supporters in the move to provide for the use of export debenture certificates, was noted today when Nye. republican. North Dakota, said after a call at the White House that he was in clined to vote against the debenture proposal. Nye’s colleague, Frazier, already has attacked what he described as the Hoover farm program and has announced he will vote for the de benture plan. Watson of Indiana is expected to ask a vote on Thursday, as repub lican leader, on his proposal to eliminate the debenture plan. SHERIFF AND CHIEF OF POLICE CONVICTED BIRMINGHAM.

Miss Char lotte C. Carey and Cecil J. H. Holms were married 2,000 feet above the city Saturday afternoon in a Ryan monoplane belonging to the Corpora cion Aeronautica de Transportes, S. A. Others in the plane were Chap lain Ivan L. Bennett of Fort Brown ttho performed the ceremony, and Maj. Bernard Law, the best man. v Miss Carey and Holms, a pilot on the Brownsville-Mazatlan air route, are both natives of Victoria, British la. The bride cavoe heer by rail Friday from Los Angeles and knew nothing of the aerial cere mony planned. She readily agreed to the regulation Canadian Air Force service, however. A group of approximately 100 were present at the airport when the wedding party took to the air at 4 p. m. The bride was visibly nervous as she stepped into the cabin for the takeoff. Holms, a veteran flier, also showed the effects of the unusual event soon to take place. Pilot Bob Starkey soon had the plane nosing into the wind and it took off with a light grace as though it knew this was no usual event. It was at fire’- planned to perform the ceremony at 6,000 feet but clouds and log at that height pre vented those in the plane getting a good view of the ground. In order that they would —tain that the ceremony was performed in the United States they kept to the low er levels. The actual service was held between Browmsville and the airport. As the plane settled on the field after the service, the group rushed out to greet the newlyweds. Mrs. Holms first words were: ‘‘I would n't give anything for this experi ence. .It’s quite a thrill to be mar ried, but doubly so in an airplane.” The first to congratulate the couple was W. T.
