Aviation Expands Weather
Bureau
Aviation development throughout the United
States has caused expansion and changes in many
governmental and private departments and agencies.
And as it has done throughout the nation it is doing
in the Valley.
The weather bureau of the United States has been
especially affected by the development of aviation,
the work of the department having been almost dou
bled in an effort to provide adequate reports lor the
guidance and protection of men and planes operat
ing on the rapidly expanding air mail and air pas
senger lines.
More complete reports are now assembled than
ever before and much additional information is being
collected by the bureau for the guidance of fliers.
Establishment of air lines Into Mexico operating
through the pert here and of air lines operating be
tween here and cities to the north has created a de
mand for an adequate serological weather report.
To meet this demand the government has as
signed two additional men to the local bureau, these
men to be stationed at a special station at the air
port. Extra rooms are now being added to the mu
nicipal building to house this bureau and more than
$500 worth of equipment has been shipped from
Washington to equip the quarters. The men being
sent here are Victor V. Phillips, a junior meteorolo
gist, and Lee Bender, a junior observer. The entire
service will be under the supervision of W. J. Schnur
busch, meteorologist, who has been in charge of the
local station for several years.
This addition of men will double the force em
ployed in the local office, the personnel in the past
consisting of Schnurbusch and one assistant.
The new men will devote their time exclusively to
preparation of bulletins and reports of special inter
est to aviators. As an aid to this service, it is planned
to seek more complete reports from Mexico than have
been available in the past.
National Origins Suspension
Defeated
J»re5. Hoover in his first message to the American
Congress declared for the repeal of the national ori
gin immigration quota basis. Under this basis an
nual migration will be cut from the 168.000 now
allowed to about 153.000 Great Britian and Scot
land and Northern Ireland would be given the pre
ponderance of the immigration while Germany and
thr Scandinavian countries would lose heavily.
A resolution calling for suspension of the national
•rigins baits was introduced by Sen. Nye of North
Dakota. This resolution called for immediate con
sideration for re {real of the quota basis By a vote
Of 43 to 3? the senate defeated the Nye resolution,
consequently it is left with the senate immigration
committee and the committee has voted to postpone
indefinitely Its consideration.
Party lines were swept aside Reed of Pennsylvania
led the opposition to the Hoover recommendation.
Twenty-four southern democrats, the entire south
ern representation and 18 republicans followed the
leadership of Reed and voted to greatly reduce the
Quotas from Germany and the Scandinavin coun
tries.
Now the national origins act will become effective
July 1st and in certain states it Is certain to be a
political issue in the elections of 1930 and 1934.
Additional Congressmen
From Texas
A census will be taken in 1930 An automatic re
apportionment of the house will take place after the
population figures of stages have been announced
It is said that Texas delegation will be increased
from 18 to 20. It will cost $40,000,000 to take the
count It w-ill call to service 100.000 census takers
Counting will be begun next April 1 Regardless of
the battle put up by certain democrats the house
requbllcan leaders defeated a senate provision placing
the census employes under civil service It was
a clear and clean surrender to the advocates of the
spoils system as the vast army of enumerators will
bo picked and appointed by the referees who are
said to handle or disburse the patronage of the fed
etal government.
State Board of Education
Gov. Moody’s signed the state beard of education
bill. It abolishes the state textbook commision and
places with the board of education the power of mak
ing textbook adoptions. It authorizes the board to
appoint a commission of five to consider textbooks
and make recommendations but the commission has j
no power to make awards or of adoptions.
It is a Queer bill.
In its caption it provides for the appointment of
a state superintendent of public instruction whereas
the body of the measure makes no reference to the
matter It is at least a step forward If there is
tinkering to be done to round out a law, lawmakers
cf the future may be able to remedy the defects.
Where Trial Judges Are Barred
Sen Walter Woodward is author of a bill which
provides that trial Judges would be disqualified in
cases where relatives are contestants. It is said the
measure was drafted and enacted to replace, a law
which codifiers left off the statue books in 1925 when
Texas laws were re-arranged. Codifiers appear to
make many mistakes. They are unlike the members
of a certain church—“without spot or blemish when i
they approach the perfect state of mind.1*

YOUR house obstructing traffic
An airplane crashed through the roof and into the
bedroom of Gov. Larson of New Jersey at his summer
home at Sea Girt, N. J., the other day. Accidents of
this type are becoming more and more frequent. The
cumnlaint of the aviators seems to be that our homes
do not carry rear lights or bumpers.
•T had a plane crash through the roof of my house
a few nights ago." said Elmer Twitchell today. "I j
was in bed at the time and the aviator dldn t even
signal me to move over!
-There is a landing field near my house, and me
and the family have become pretty accustomed to
having the house sldeswiped by aviators. They are
breaking in a lot of new airmen over my way and
they must be using my house to practice in. We've
got so we can tell by the sound of the motor whether
a plane is going to put a new hole in the roof or not t
but it keeps our nerves pretty ragged
“Now and then we get footed, though. We calcu
late by the sound that the birdman is going to miss
us and hit th*> house next door, but he suddenly
smacks rights through the building, gracing the chil
dren's room, taking a yard or two of hide off the dog
and settling down at the foot of my bed.
“I am for long strides in aviation, but when these
birdmen take to flying into bed with you it is carry
ing a stride too far.
-What gets me is that they are so bold about it.
A passenger plane with three people in it crashed |
right into mv bedroom last week with no warning of
j any kind Had the pilot given any signal I could

I let him pass.
-But the first thing I know is when he telescopes

WASHINGTON. June 19—For more than 11 years
Rep. John Charles Linthicum of Maryland has been
trying to persuade congress that "The Star Spangled
Banner" should be declared the national anthem of l
this country.
He has had a bill to this effect before the house
almost continuously since 1918. Little success, how-!
cvcr. has been his Invariably the bill has died in
committee or else has been crowded out in the rush
of legislation
But Mr Linthicum refuses to be discouraged Each |
session he drops his pet measure in the hous* hopper.
He is confident that he will yet get a break.
The Maryland chapter of the National Society of
United States Daughters of 1812 first interested htm
in the proposal At the request of that organization
he introduced the measure for the first time in
March 1918 War conditions and the accompanying
rush of legislation, however, prevented his bill getting
very far.
He rc-introduced the bill in April. 1921. but it met
the same fate.
* • * •
STIRS INTEREST
In January. 1922. for the third time he tried to get
congress to declare officially that "The Star Spangled
Banner" be America's national anthem. Interest had
increased The house judiciary committee called rep
resentatives of various patriotic organizations to
Washington and obtained their views Represents- 1
live: McFadden and Swope of Pennsylvania, and Rep
resentative: Fairchild and Celler of New York in the !
meantime had Introduced similar bills.
But in the closing hours of the sixty-eighth con
gress the bill was caught in the jam and died.
Not to be daunted Linthicum came back to the
next congress and for the fourth time introduced his
bill This time it didn't even get out of the commit
tee
• • • •
CAN’T STOP HIM
Linthicum by this time liad come to regard his bill
as something akin to an affair of honor
Therefore, when President Hoover convened the
special session in April, despite the fact that it was
to be limited to consideration only of tariff and farm
relief, at the first opportunity he dropped his bill
in for the fifth time
And if u dies again, then as soon as the regular
session opens in December he will try again.
Linthicum's contention is that "The Star Spangled
Banner now is considered by all as the national an
them Since 1889 under orders from the navy de
partment. the song Is played at both morning and
erening colors. It also is played at retreat in the
army
The anthem for the service, he says, certainly
should be the anthem of the people.
r •
Another Money Saving Veto
Iexas lawmakers enacted a bill providing for in
crease in salaries of official court reporters from $2100
a year to a maximum of $3000. Got. Moody vetoed
the measure He figured that if It became a law the
expense to taxpayers for payment of court reporter*
would be between $70,000 and $80 000 annually. This
may please the taxpayers but It will fill the court
reporters with disgust
BUT THEY DIDN’T GET AWAY WITH IT!

• •
CHAPTER XXIV
Christmas eve came and laid a
blanket of ermine over the earth
soft and dainty.
Vivian had fretted day in arid
day out about what to get Kent un
til she talked it over with Cuddles.
"Give him something that will
never wear out." she had suggested
in her silly way. "Something that
will haunt him to the longest day
he is on earth."
Vivian laughed it off But the
thought persisted It was a good
idea Her priceless Jade necklace
given to her by old Aunt Martha
Matthews on her wedding day was
lying on her dressing table. Square?
They looked like cuff links. She •
was seized suddenly with the idea
of having two of them taken out
and set in platinum for Kent. It
was too long for her, anyway, and
they would never be missed
A bi' of mv heart, so to speak
she ha id told Cuddles, when they
went to the jeweler's and chose the
setting
"You must Rive him one of your
pictures in a blR silver frame He
hasn’t seen them yet and they are
wonderful.” Cuddles advised "That
will burn Dovie up. and I'll see that
she finds out Write something very
touching on it."
Vivian wanted a tree She had
never had one in her life It tow
ered to the ceiling in the big Johns
living room and the open fire lent
it an air of enchantment.
“Oh. we ought to be so happy."
Vivian sighed to herself Christmas
eve. honing Kent would some home
early. He had gone out Immediate- j
lv after dinner, and she suspected
that he was with his light o* love !
Then Vivian remembered with a
little oang of shame that she had
almost forgotten about her old guar- j
dian. It would be criminal not to 1
go see her on Christmas eve Poor
lonely old soul.
She had bought her a beautiful I
soft shzded lamp to put beside her
bed. When Miss Matthews saw it.
and Vivian had unwrapped and con
nected and lit It. the old lady was
like a little girl exclaiming over her
first doll.
"It's beautiful my child' Beauti
ful! How did you ever know that
is fust what I wanted1"
Poor old broker, bodv Vivian bent
suddenly lr. a surge of emotion and
out her arms around her and kUsed
her
"Honev—I’m awfully glad you
wanted It.”
"And now—” the old ladv reached
a thin hand that trembled under
her pillow, "here, my child. Is your
Christmas ”
It was another box almost like
the one the necklace had come in.
but smaller. Vivian gave a little erv
of delight when she onened it. A
huge square, antioue ring, perfect!*
matching the necklace—in priceless
Jade She slipped it on her finger
and her eves were starry.
"Oh. I've a]wavs—always—wanted
a big ring like this. Oh. it’s heav
enly.”
“Dovie will be over with a good explanation"
Martha Matthews trembled with
pleasure
"She does love me." Vh'ian said
to herself. “But she ha: never been
able to show it. Poor old thing ”
"You haw grown very beautiful.
Vivian, my dear.” Miss Matthews
reached out and touched her. She
was extremely lovely in the soft
light.
"Clothes make the man." Vivian
blushed becomingly.
"And love makes the woman."
Martha Matthews told her. unex
pectedly
Just then they heard the front
door open, and a moment later
heavy footsteps on the stairs.
"Another Christmas Eve visitory."
Vivian suggested.
But she wasn't prepared for the
wave of happiness that poured over
her when she saw Kent standing in
the door, his hat in his hand and
snow covering his great fur coat
"Merry Christmas girls."
Vivian stood up and her handbag
drooped to the floor. Martha watch
ed them.
"Ah she does love him. Look at
her face *
“I came home looking for you
and they told me you had come
down here, so I followed, like a good
obedient husband. And here is your
happv Yuletide." he said all in one
breath, and handed old Martha
a large package tied rather bun
glinglv with a big red ribbon
Vtvian wanted to cry with jov
She put her hand on tils arm and
they leaned over like two kids watt
ing for the package to be opened
It was a miniature Christmas tree
trimmed even to a santa claus. and
hanging on it were six lovely hand
made lace handkerchiefs. Martha
Matthews’ eyes were dim. Vivian
wanted to throw her arms around
Kent because he had been so
thoughtful.
"My—my children I don't know
what to scv You have made this
the nicest Christmas I have ever
had in my whole life.’ She held out
her hands and took both of them
by the hand.
Kent was embarrassed, as many
men are at much show of emotion.
So he lr.ughed. Vivian bent and
kissed the old woman again, her
heart too full fo sneak
“Well” Kent alibied then, “we
had a great big tree that reaches
the ceiling at home, and 1 thought
you might at least have our tree's
little puppy.”
Martha laughed harder than Vi
vian had ever heard her laugh be
fore. and waggled a finger at Kent.
"You children musn’t plan to al
ways have your trees to yourself
eevrv Christmas. Two or three years
from now there should be a little
fellow running around, beating a big
noisy drum.” .
Vivian wanted the earth to swal
low her. Kent grinned—and he
could not resist looking at her He
could see the red slowly pour over
her neck and up to her hair and It
delighted him Then he realized
her position—and how she must feel,
and he did not smile again. Instead,
he put an arm around her—and
forced a rir.He.
Don t tease Vivian. Aunt Martha
She is a very bashful girl ’
He reached in his pocket.
“I might as well give you your
Christmas present here as any place
else." he told Vivian, and her heart
l turned over.
He held the box a moment, teas
ing.
’ Did you miss your jade necklace.

“N-no”

Former Commissioner of Health ^
I .... ..... ....■■I..... ...
Everybody has a dread of tuber
culosis. This used to be such a com
mon and fatal disease that all man
kind came to fear It.
One of the achievements of mod
em science is the progress it has |
made In conquering tuberculosis. It
Is disappearing rapidly thanks to
general knowledge of personal hy
giene. We may hope to see it dis
appear as one of the major ail
ments.
A symptom which is almost al
ways associated with tuberculosis is
bleeding from the lungs. No matter
whence it came, blood in the sputum !
always alarms the victim At once j
he wonders if there is something1
dreadfully wrong.
-Hemoptysis" is the term given to
such expectoration of blood. Not
by any means is blood in the sputum |
due to a serious disturbance
It m*y come from bleeding from
the gums., or from a cut place in
the tongue or inside of the cheek. A j
crust of bread or a rough tooth may
injure the delicate tissues and cause
hemorrhage.
Following a severe attack of
roughing there may be a rupture of
the tissues in the throat In con
sequence. the sputum may be stained
with blood.
While we are about It. we better
sneak of other conditions that
cause bleeding and its expulsion
from the mouth. I had not thought
to be quite so technical, but having
begun, it may be better to complete
the story.
In hemoptysis the blood is couRhed
up. The discharge is bright red and
quite frothy. It is mixed with air.
There is another condition called
"hematemesls." This term is used
to describe bleeding from the stom
ach.
In this condition the blood is like
ly to be vomited up. but. of course,
may be expelled In small quantities
This is a much more serious thing
than hemoptysis. It is due to some
disease of the stomach, as ulrer or
something even more important.
If much Mood is expelled, no mat
ter what its source, the Important
thing is to keep absolutely still. An
ice-bag over the throat, chest or
stomach, wherever it appears, is the
p’are from which the blood comes,
will help to control the bleeding
If the blood comes from the mouth
or throat, bits of ice held in the
mouth will be useful. The cold
tends to stop the bleeding.
Unless you locate the seat of trou
ble. talk with your doctor. If the
Meeding continues or is profuse he
should be called at once.
Tn the meantime keep quiet In
bed. Have the pillows high, so as
to raise the upper part of the body.
Remember that a lot of blood can
come from a very small spot. You
have cut your finger Just a tiny
bit and bleed furiously. So don’t
think you have some dreadful thing
wrong with you. The chances are
all on your side.
