Dates to Get Real Test
A serious effirt ia to be made to bring date raising
Into a place of real importance in the scheme of Val
ley affairs.
The United States government, largely throug.i thr
urging of Congressman John N. Garner, has brought
a shipment of almost 1000 offshoots to the \alle*
from Messopotamia. a section where the climate ap
proximates that of the Valley.
In addition, date palm seed of various varieties
* * which it is believed might be found suitable for this
sectiou have been sent to managers of water districts
for planting. „ . *
Ralph T. Robinson, plant breeder for the Lnitre
States department of agriculture, said the shipment
of offshoots, planted at the experiment station near
Weslaco was “the most important shipment of dates
ever received in this country " This same added that
‘•only a limited area in the United States is adapted
to date culture and a good percentage of this lies in
the Lower Rio Grande Valley."
Dates have been grown In the Valley with tndt -
ferent success for many years and big returns have
been made from palms that have received proper
rare Returns of from $200 per palm upward have
been claimed
The principal drawbark to development of thr
date industry on a commercial basis in the Valley ha*
been the climatic conditions which usually prevail at
the ripening season.
Frequently there is too much moisture at the
ripening period and the fruit, instead of drying on
the palm as It should, often has mildewed and been
ruined.
It was to avoid this loss that the offshoots were
sent here. The varieties included in the shipment
were selected with great care in Iraq by experts of
the United States department of agriculture. These
A experts were sent on the tour to seek the dates which
were highly moisture resisting. They believe thev
have found several such varieties. .
Federal government, authorities have expressed thr
belief that the experiment to the Valley will prove
highly successful. If this belief is borne out in actual
results citrus fruit some day will have a serious com
petitor In dates
Another Mighty Merger
Another mighty merger is on the way in the
United States and Canada. It is the formation of a
$400,000,000 tobacco and drugstore and manufactur
Ing combine to be known as the United States cor
poration. It Is sponsored by a powerful Wall street
and Canadian banking interests. George J. Whelan,
founder of United Cigar stores, is one of the pillars
of the new organization.
Its charter permits the company to deal in tobac
co and drugs and to operate farms, plantations and
laboratories.
It to said that the United Stores corporation is
designed -to bring peace to an industry alflicted with
bitter price wars between manufacturers and re
tailers ’
Is this the chain store age? It appears to be so
written on the wall. This is the age in which the
chain store combination according to its charter, is
permitted to operate vast farms, huge plantations and
important laboratories.
It. is the merger age: it is the big business age. A
quarter of a century ago men talked of millions,
speaking of dollars. Now they talk of billions and
this while you wait.
Highways and Civilizers
Modem highways arc the greatest of civilizers.
State highways call the tourists of other common
wealths and advertise the richness and the resources
of Texas. County highways are just as important as
state highways Citizens of certain districts of Travis
county are floating a big bond issue.
They are wise. They should put it over. They
should build the highways after the bonds have been
voted. Highways link city and country. Highways
make markets for the growers of things. Highways
increase land values. Highways afford the comforts
and the conveniences of modern civilization to those
who dwell under rural skies.
Without bond Issues all the roads would be mud
roads in Texas. Bond issues, city and county are
builders. There is a price that must be paid and the
rreators of wealth are the men who must pay. While
Increasing the wealth of the state by the payment
they are only increasing the wealth per capita of the
fommunity. ^ ____

Smith on Taxation
Former Rep. J. T. Smith of Travis county is the
editor of the Texas Tax Journal. He is a very stren
uous opponent of state income tax. This is his ulti
matum:
“What the farmers and others need is not an in
come tax. but provisions made by the state to retire
about 200,000.000 of road bonda That is the tax that
* is hurting the land."
Perhaps it is. But it likewise Is the tax that lias
made land valuable, strengthened the bond between
the city and the country, given the farmer a market
for his products and makes life worth the living the
country over.
This is not an argument for a state income tax.
A mud road civilization passed away. A hard road
civilization is in the making An ox-cart civilization
passed out the mud road civilization. A motor
car civilizati® came in with the hard surface road
civilization.
Why long for the gbod old days?

By HERBERT C. PLUMMER
WASHINGTON. June 18.—Much has been said and '
written about the “tragedy” of the presidential yacht
Mayflower. Yet there is one mote story still to be j
told.
It concerns a handful of navy officers who sud- |
denly found that they must go to sea.
There's a regulation in both the army and the j
navy that no officer may remain on duty in Wash- '
mgton more than four years. In the army an officer !
must go to a post or into foreign fields. In the navy
he must go to sea.
And officers, especially the wives of officers, like
duty in Waashington.
The anny has the advantage over the navy, j
Around the capital are several army posts. Fort ;
Myer, Fort Washington and Fort Hunt, as well as
several nearby posts in Maryland, all are desirable j
assignments and make possible a continuation of so
1 cial life in Washington
• • • •
JUST THE SEA
Not so with the navy. Orders to go to sea in the
navy now simply mean go to sea. The Mayflower is
no longer at the Washington navy yards.
In this fact lies a sad story’.
New officers were assigned to the presidential
yacht this spring. They were men who had been on
duty in the navy department for four years and
therefore were under the necessity of going to sea."
New uniforms had been ordered. The officers
were prepared for the rigors of a trip down the Po
tomac once a month for the next four years.
Then Mr. Hoover decided to economize. New or
ders were issued to the officers.
Now the new uniforms are laid away in moth balls, j
And once happy wives are mourning the fate that has
decreed that for the next four years they must chase
the Atlantic and Pacific fleets from port to port for
a glimpse of their husbands.
* Going to sea" for them has taken on a new and
i mournful meaning.
SOME CHEER THr PASSING
But there are naval officers who hail with genuine I
delight the passing of the Mayflower.
As one old sea dog described it to the w’riter. an j
cfficer detailed to duty on the yacht was nothing
more than a glorified footman or butler . At least,
he regarded it so.
Ke will never forget an incident that occurred
during his service on the craft. Even now he boils
with rage at the thought of it.
All hands had been piped on deck to greet the
oresidential party. Officers and crew were at at
tention Members of the party boarded the yacht.
One guest had several coats on his arm. Looking
around him he singled out an officer resplendent in ,
his blue uniform with gold trappings. To him the j
guest handed the coats.
The indignant officer glared and let the coats
drop to the deck. Only discipline saved the guest
from a probable punch in the face.
BABE RITH AND THE DOCTOR
Doctor: What's the name, please?
Babe; Ruth.
Doctor; Ruth what?

Babe: What's the matter with me?
Doctor: You've been overeating.

Doctor: How are you on pastries?
Babe: I like strawberry shortcake for breakfast.
Doctor: Do you get much exercise?
Babe: Not as much as I got last season.
Doctor: Why not?
Babe: It must be the pitching.
Doctor: You need to walk more.
Babe: I knowr It.
Doctor: Why don’t you?

Doctor: Do you sleep well?
Babe: The catchers and second basemen say I am
sleeping better than ever.
Doctor: Do you have spots before your eyes?
Babe: Only against slow ball pitching.
Doctor: Ever have ringing noises in your head?
Babe: Every- time I talk with Col. Ruppert about
more money. I hear ringing noises, but they're in his
i head, not mine.
Doctor: Well. I think it will be necessary to take '<
j some X-ray pictures.
Babe: What for?
Doctor: To see what's inside of you
Babe: I hope it's a batting streak.

MOTH FLIES TO
HAPPINESS
^ By Alya SlOUX 5CAKBERRV#<^ auimmur numuruv. imc
READ THIS FIRST:
Vivian Matthews, shy and unhappy
because she was a doorstep baby
marries Kentworth Hillman Johns
III, whom she secretly loves, on a
business basis. At the end of a
year he is to give her one hundred
thousand dollars and a divorce in
Paris. They have Just returned
from their platonic honeymoon in
New York when Aurelia “Dovie”
Jansen, who Jilted Kent to marry
the Count Von Popper, returns
with her mother and contrives to
get Kent Into her net aagin. Mann
Barkow. famous illustrator, whom
Vivian met in New York, flies to
Bender to paint her—and she buys
his small airship and is learning to
fly. Vivian knows Kent and
"Dovie” have renewed their lova
affair. She sees them together at
a new roadhouse, the “Whoopee.”
Kent quarrels with Vivian for be
ing seen "out like that.”
(Now Go On With the Story)
• music got her. 8he began to dance, i
Vivian had no idea Cuddles cou d 1
dance like that, and Barkow was
finally sitting on the edge of h s
1 chair. High kicks, splits, ba t
bends, taps. She was a young
dynamo.
"You ouRht to go back to New
York,” he told her when she fin
ished. "This is no place for talent
like that."
"Thank you." Cuddles was ser
ious for once in her life, and her
piquant little face took on a pen- ,
1 sive look. "I was there four years.
But I just couldn't make a go o*
it without pull.”
'Do you sing, too?" he asked in
terested. .
"Sing, Cuddles," Vivian begged.
"I haven't heard you play and sing
lor ages."
She crossed to the piano and
swung herself over the stool,
hunched up until even her sitting
|)osition was funny. Her lace as
sumed a mournful expression, and
she began warbling.
She was a scream. First a Jew
ish comedy number, then Irish and
Italian, and filially a little Irish
j ballad in her soft mezzo. Barkow
clapped his hands in sincere praise
when she finished. She was telling
of some of her struggles when Ce
leste appeared at the door.
Her face held a dour expression
and she wrinkled her little nose
comically.
"Madame—ze beeg fat girl from
nex’ door. She es in the library."
"Didn t I tell you." Cuddles
chanted. "Here comes the Dove
| ol Peace.”
Oh—tell her to come in.” Vivian
said finally. ’ We can't very well
say we re not in. She heard us. I
suppose.”
Neither of the girls noticed the
look that passed from Barkow to
Dovie when she was presented to
him. His face was a mask'
•Countess Von Popper, it is a
pleasure.'’ *
Dovie for just a moment appear
ed nonplussed. But she soon con
trolled herself and smiled coyly at
Mann.
"You seem, Mr. Barkow', to be
finding a lot to interest you in our
little hamlet.”
■Yes.’’ he smiled back at her. ”1
have made quite a stay. Other na
tives have reminded me of it. But
I find Bender a delightful place.
Lots of color.”
"Oh. yes.” she simpered at Viv
ian. It was unspeakably bad taste,
and Vivian wanted to slap her.
Cuddles was enjoying herself, and
for once remaining quiet. Mann
iniled again, disarmingly.
"You see. it is taking me so long
to paint Mrs. Johns because I am
entering the picture in the Inter
national Art exhibit in Paris. It
is the only entry I am going to
make.”
’ Re-e-al!y.’’ Dovie gasped It was
news to Vivian, too. and to Pat
But Pat suddenly put in her oar.
“You always use slender models,
don’t you. Mr. Barkow? I’ve al
ways thought you had wonderful
taste.”
Barkow covered a laugh with a
slight cough and Vivian gave Dovie
a kick under her chair.
"Yes.” he agreed, controlling his
emotion, "my models are usually
quite sylph-like.”
Dovie struggled with a fast ris
ing color, and was so obviously self
conscious that everyone in the
room had to use an iron hand to
keep from guffawing.
’ Well. I just dropped in for a
moment." she said, rising. “I want
to whisper something in your ear.
Vivian. It’s a secret And by the
way.” she cooed, turning to Bar
kow. “I am going to give a little
New Year’s party, and doi t one of
you tell me you can’t rome.’”
They accepted, somehow. And
when Vivian and Dovie left th«
0
room Cuddles turned to Barkow
and threw up her hands.
“I'll be painted red. white and
blue stripes if I ever saw that fe
male’s equal! Now what is her
idea? She trapped us into saying
we'd go to her party. What has!
she cot in her so-called head now. 1
do you suppose?”
••We shall sc?" he grinned, and i
lit a cigarette. “I don't know worn*
en well enough to figure any of
them out. Well, that is. I don't go
in for stout blondes much.”
Vivian came back into the room,
smiling sardonically.
“You were right. Pat She lust
went out last evening w’ith my hus
band because she thought since
they were to be neighbors they
should understand each other.”
Barkow saw the light, So that
was the fly in Vivian's ointment.
It was a fat little flv. with curly
hair and Innocent blue eyes. He
was standing by the radio, and he
pretended not to hear. But there
was a smile in his eyes. Even Bvi

she thought she was mad.
“Jealous! My grandmother's

Cuddles nodded wisely.
“Things are picking up PrlscJlla.

down to brass tacks. You rot your

the only romance in the house."
She lowered her voice “When f

Vivian screamed with merriment.
‘Kent said she'd like him! Mercy

won’t give him a tumble. Calls

“You know what she calls Kippy.

“Oh. she hated grass hoppers, so

in Nortn America, more tnan in
any other part of the world, the
teeth are given a lot of attention.
I shall hot admit that they have
enough care, but we do better than
they do across the ocean.
In England I was struck by the
general neglect of these useful and
beauty-giving organs. I am sure it
is not a mere coincidence that so
many observers note the same
thing.
It is a pity that anywhere there
should be neglect of a part of the
body so important. Without sound
teeth the food is not chewed as it
should be.
But it does not end here. If
there is continued neglect the teeth
bcome abscessd and the gums are
bathed in pus. This evil substance
is absorbed into the system and
then there is real trouble.
More and more, the medical pro
fession Is pointing out the bad ef
fects of pus infection. Rhumatism.
heart disease and many obscure
Ailments can be traced to suen J
sources. Diseases of the kidneys i
and other serious afflictions ar«
thought to be made worse, if not
actually caused by pus infection.
There are many factors involved
In a study of the whvs and where
fores of bad teeth. I do not care
to discuss the possible effect of
heredity upon the quality of the i
:eeth.
You know I am inclined to be- '
little heredity as an important j
ronsideration in disease production |
[ cannot bring myself to believe
hat we are ‘ hog tied" to the sins !
>r faults of our ancestors.
I must admit, of course, that a 1
few rare ailments may be founded
>n heredity. In general, however,
ve can overcome the bad inheri
tance and through our own efforts
;weep aside the shackles of birth,
tet's not worry about our grand
parents.
There is one thing we do get
from our parents. I refer to the j
?arlv teaching in matters of per- '
mnal hygiene. We cat. sleep, exer
cise and bathe as we were taught
n childhood. We should make sure
for ourselves that we cannot ao
setter than they did.
Improper feeding has much to do
with the development of bad teeth. 1
There used to be a disease, not
much seen now. known as scurvy.
Sailors, prisoners. Inmates of asy
lums and others confined to limited
quarters and fed on unsuitable food
had scurvy. Thanks to better food
and advanced knowledge we escape
that old-fashioned ailment.
But we have now what we may
call "hidden scurvy.” If the moth
er's food Is deficient or of wrong
Duality there may be established
In the infant such defects rna;
the teeth, when they come, are not
normal. A well-balanced diet will
do away with this danger.
The teeth must be kept clean
No matter whether it is the young
ster with his first teeth or the'
grown-up. it Is essential that clean
liness be practiced. Sticky, sweer
food will lodge between the teeth.
There it ferments, forms adds, and
the surface of the tooth Is softened.
Repeated day after day and night
after night, what results? The be
ginning of a cavity Is formed.
The teeth are too precious to
neglect. Begin now to take the
best of care of your possessions.
