Road Building Halt Expensive
Cameron county, by delaying completion of her
M 000.000 road paving program, is losing three or
four, and possibly five miles of paved highway.
The exact amount of loss which is being incurred
by the county cannot be stated, but it has been va
riously estimated at from 850000 to 1100.000. And do
not be deceived, this Is a real loss—as much so as if
that sum of money were thrown into the Rio Grande.
This represents the cost of reassembling a com pe
te tn engineering staff when the program is resumed
and the higher prices which will be paid to contrac
tors for work when It becomes necessary for them to
return thetr road building machines to this county.
County Engineer Washington had assembled about
as efficient a set of workmen as ever surveyed and
drafted plans for a highway. They had been on the
Job long enough to become entirely familiar with the
problems to be confronted In this county.
Many of these men already have gone to other
Jobs as there no longer was work for them in this
county. Others will be leaving in the near future. In
passing it might be well to mention that the men
leaving here are securing positions usually at higher
salaries than they were receiving from Cameron
county.
It will cost real money to reassemble a crew of
men as capable as that which Is now rapidly disinte
grating. Plans prepared by a new crew will cost more,
for the new men will lack the valuable experience
gained by the men row being allowed to go to other
counties.
Contractors, as rapidly as they complete contracts
In this county, remove their road building equip
ment to other counties. Road machinery is heavy and
expensive to move When it is brought back to Cam
eron county the freight will have to be paid and it
will be Included In the price of the contracts. If the
program could be completed now this money could be
saved
These losses are real and represent cash which will
come out of the 52 000.000 worth of bonds yet to be
Issued
There Is still another loss which the county to suf
fering by reason of delay in completing the program.
This to lost use of the highways, which should con
nect the farms and towns of the county as soon as
possible. If paved roads are valuable assets then the
sooner they are in use the sooner citizens of the
county begin to reap the benefits.
Then there to the matter of increased valuations.
Building of the roads will Increase property values
along their routes afld throughout the county.
Surely there is some common grounds on which
the commissioners can agree In ord»r to continue the
program to its completion.
Officials of the Harlingen water district have
agreed to convert the form of that organization if a
road to Rangerville to financed on a county-wide
basis Conversion of the Harlingen district would In
crease the bonding capacity of the county and permit
Issuance of additional bonds.
Then, it appears, the key to the situation to an
agreement by the county commissioners on some
means of financing the Rangerville road
Where People Live to Eat
According to an exchange 47 kinds of edibles
frown in Wilson county were served at a chamber of
commerce dinner at Ploresville. A year ago the fust
Wilson county product dinner was served with 38
kinds of food grown within the borders of that county.
This year the producers increase the number of all
kinds to 47 and served "what to believed to be the
most widely diversified meal ever given in South
Texas."
Furthermore, the local correspondent let it be
known that "figuring two kinds of chicken and also
the fact that Wilson cotton seed oil was used for
cooking, would run the total list up to 49. but the Wil
aon county chamber to content with the record of 47
for this year "
Incidentally, "the only articles on the tables not
produced In the county were linen, dishes, silverware
and salt." Wilson county has 3.000 acres in truck

THE F%RM RELIEF BILL EXPLAINED
Bit—I am a fanner and the way I need relief is
i nobody s business. 3 could use some at once, but I
don’t quite understand horn it works. Would you
mind helping me? PUZZLED.
Ans: 1—The bill creates a federal board of rune
members and gives eight of them a salary of $12,000
a year, ram or shine. This will relieve the average
fanner by assuring him there is that much money in
the world.
2— This board is authorized to make loans from a
revolving fund of $500,000,000. This fund revolves
at the rate of 26,000 revolutions per minute and the
farmer s yob is to get aboard while it is in motion
without getting his ears tom off in the mechanism.
3— This money is to be passed out through stabili
zation corporations <or fairy godmothers* when, as
and if. The stabilizers are authorized to buy. sell or
exchange surplus wheat, sweet com. cabbages, onions.
' Tomatoes, cucumbers and other vegetables (except
spinach and califiower >.
4— This is how the plan works: When a farmer is
in a jam with his crops and needs relief he proceeds
to the nearest stabilization corporation. Stabilization
corporations will be stationed about the country at
convenient points and will be distinguished by
squeaky shoes.
5— Upon visiting the stabilization tent the farmer
will be told to go home and write a letter. He will
write the letter and send it in. A stenographer will
open it and destroy it.
6— The fanner will send * second letter. The board
will reply by sending him a set of blanks to be filled
out. The blanks will contain 163 questions, all a
little more involved than those found in income tax
blanks.
7— At this point the farmer calls in his lawyer and
has the thing interpreted.
g—He sends the blank back to the stabilizing board,
which promptly returns It to him with a stinging re
buke for not printing his name instead of writing it
and for answering the question, ’ How long since you
have had varicose veins?" on the wrong line
9—The beard sets a date for a hearing.
11— The farmer reports for the hearing after a
drive of 656 miles and discovers that it has been ad
j jcumed as two of the board members had to attend
j a fly-casting tournament.
12— The curtain is lowered one year to denote a
lapse of time.
13— The farmer sees a few political bosses and gets
an audience the following November. He states hL*
case and is turned over for cross-examination. He
| became confused answering questions such as. ‘ Where
were you on the evening of June 3. 1928'’" and de- '
i cides to plead guilty.
14— He pleads that he was in a daze when he asked j
! farm relief and didn’t know what he was doing.
15— The board, taking into consideration his age
and the fact it is his first offense, suspends judgment
and lets him go horn* on a promise he will never
i bother it again.
16— The farmer abandons farming and opens a
gasoline station and hot-dog stand.
(P- S — Are there any further questions?)

New Y®irk Letter
Rv RICHARD MASSftCK
NEW YORK. June 22.—The Bowery lost a land- '
mark rich In the city's theatrical history when the i
Thalia theater burned recently for the sixth and last
time.
But the wailing heard around the century-old
! Thespian temple the other morning, came not from
sentimental citizens of Little Old New York. It came '
from the Misses Lenn Po-Hing and Lee Foy-Fong
and other stage darlings of Chinatown.
For the Misses Lenn Po-Hing and Lee Foy-Fong
are prtma donnas of Chinese opera and their cos
tumes—ah, what gorgeous creations of silk and jewels
and beads—were ruined.
So the Misses Lenn Po-Hing and Lee Foy-Fong
turned loose the tears of $15 000-a-year tempera
ments when they saw what had happened to their I
$40,000 wardrobes.
Even the ordinary actors and actresses, whose
wardrobes cost at least $1,000 each, broke down and
! wept in their Brooklyn dormitory after an Irish cop
had. with much dfificulty, awakened them end con
; veyed the sad news.

CHINESE DRAMATICS
The Thalia fire destroyed the only Chinese the
ater in the city, but the folk of Mott and Pell streets
arc not to be denied their ancient operas. Another
Bowery theater Is being leai-ed by the Chinese Mer
| charts' association, of which Charles King of Newark
j is president.
Fortunately some of the costumes were salvaged,
for they can not be duplicated over here. And any
one who has seen a Chinese opera knows the cos
tumes are all-important.
Stage properties are few The customers pay from
$1 to $5 to hear the music and see the costumes and
they look and listen for five hours, from 7 to mid
night. without intermission.
It is very leisurely and sing-soney to western
cars. A character comes on the stage and sings one
1 sone that lasts a half-hour. Then thpre's a little dra
matic action, such as sword play, and another half
hour song. Late comers can pick up the story at any
| point by reading a libretto handed out at the door.
The Chinese only recently have begun to enjoy
plays of the kind Americans know, says Paul Po-Chl
Fung, director of the Chinese Dramatic club. Their
native dramas are mostly operatic, like “The Dream
of Tang Ming Hwrong." which tells about an ancient
dynast who got drunk with his favorite court girl
and took a trip to the moon.
The Chinese Dramatic club, the Little Theater of
Chinatown, is introducing, however, such modern
1 dramas as "Nothing But the Truth."

Vivian Matthews, shy and un
happy because she was a dcortep
baby, has few friends. Kent worth
Hillman Johns because he has been
jilted by Dovie” Jansen, who be
comes the Countess Von Popper,
and in order to secure his grand
fathers fortune marries Vivian with
the understanding that at the end
of the year they are to be divorced
and he will give her one hundred
thousand dollars. In Newr York she
attracts Man Barkow. famous
artir*. and he flies to Bender, paints '
her and teaches her to fly. “Dovie"
returns, and in an attempt to get
Kent into her net. frames a New
Year's party to embarrass Vivian.
Barkow is furious, and hints that
he knew her as a notorious member
of the art collony the next day. and
when Vivian tells him the truth
about her marriage begs her to
marry him when she is free. She
asks him to wait.
• NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY*
• • •
CHAPTER XXVII
It was a few- days later, on a
mild winter afternoon, that Bark
called Vivian.
' This is a perfect flying day. Viv
ian. I think I'll let the little birdie
try Its wings alone."
"Oh! I'll be there in two shakrs." j
Vivian had never been so excited
in her life. At last—the grand ad
venture! That thrill that comes once
m a lifetime to a few lucky people.
The first solo. She had absolutely
no fear a* all since the first day
she had gone up with Bark It
seemed to him that she was more
certain of herself in the air than
anywhere else. A born flyer, he had
told her.
There had been few things he had
to tell her twice. He found it hard I
to believe that a woman who had i
never known a thine about machin- i
ery could catch on to the difficulties
of flying an airplane as readily as
Vivian had. She had spent about
in hours in the air with him. and
he had given her several hours of
ground work.
He was more ill at ease than she
was when she met him. But he con
soled himself with the thought that
she had proved several times, w-hen
he hadn’t touched the stick, that
she was ready to fly alone when
they had gone up.
He pulled her to him in the han
gar and kissed her. She looked
at him from the corner of her eye.
"You act as though I were going
to mv funeral. I believe you're more
shaky than I am."
“I’d never in the world forgive
myself, darling, if anything hap
pened to you—you know."
He hadn’t told her of his love
since that day In the studio, and
she had hoped he would not men
tion it again. But she reached up j
and kissed the little cleft in his
chin.
"I'll come down all in one piece i
if it kills me.”
Oh. how nice it was to be loved
—wanted. His nearness and his
kindness overcame her so that she ;
swayed against him, and he crushed j
her in his arms. I wonder if I love
him. she asked herself. Surely— i
not that. Not like I have always
loved Kent.
She pushed him from her. play
fullv.
"Sending me up with palpitation j
of the heart—for my first solo' Is
that the way for a teacher to treat
his pupil?"
They rushed "The Moonshine" out
of the hangar, and she climbed in
She was in a heavy fur-lined flying
1 suit that made her look twlrp her
j sire, it gave tier a competent look
But. still Bark felt responsible for
I her life, and cold chills ran over
: him when he saw the ship take
off thr ground and began to climb
Lord! What a berutiful take
j off." he aaid aloud to himself. "That
I girl is another Lindbergh."
Vivian nulled the stick toward
i her and climbed up and uo to get
altitude Her heart was beating fas
ter and faster, but not from fear
Sh*- was as comDleti^iaaster of
herself, alone In the air, as she had |
been with Mann.
When she was high above Bender
and to the north, she pulled the
throttle wide open
"I'm an eagle," she cried, the wind
beating like heavy wings against her
face. It was cold and stinging, and
she drank it in like water.
She banked the plane to the right
and looked down at Bender, as she
had often done when Bark was with
her.
"Wouldn't they be surprised if
they knew it was me—ME—poor lit
tle Vivian Matthews Johns, up here
in the sky, all by herself.”
What would Kent say when he
heard she had flown all over town
by herself, for the first time? Would
he be frightened, and perhaps tell
her she must not do it again. Oh.
she hoped he would. But he seemed
so indifferent. And Dovie. She
would be delighted.
‘ If I cracked up this minute she'd
he glad," Vivian said aloud to her
self.
But in another minute the exul- i
tr/ion chased all the bitter thoughts
out of her head, and she flew along
higher and higher, with her heart
in the stars.
Barkow. straining his eyes to see
her. reached out his arms when she
got too far away.
•I'm trying to pull her back." he
smiled to himself. Poor little Vi
vian. He thought of her as n lit
tle bird Irom a cage that was trying
its wings for the first time. “It
will do her more good." he thought.,
"than anything anyone in »he world ■
could do or say to her. It will bring
her out of herself."
She wanted to say up all day. \
But ag*m she wanted to see if she
could make a three-point linding
Suddenv rte was seised with a
thrilling Idea. She wanted to try
a tail spin before she came down.
It would be a surprise for Mann.i
She knew she could do it—but he
had never let her try. She had 1
beer with him when he made dozens i
of them, and barrel lolls, and every- 1
thing in the acrobatic line.
She smiled and shrugged Here
goes! She looked clown, and raw
the little speck that was Mann
standing near the hangar.
She “cut the gun" and pulled up
the nose of th^ ship, pushing the
rudder bar to the side as far as it
would go. The ship's nose went
down, whirling around uni around
at r. sickening spe«d It looked as
it'd gh the ground was enmi-.g up
ic meet her.
Barkow, wh-n ne saw this maneu
ver. covered his eves and gasped.
But a moment later he looked and
knew that she had ben trying a tall
spin. She had complete control of
the plane, and, coming out of the
tail spin, she began a long, easy
glide for the landing field.
He was physically ill from the
shock. She did not succeed in mak
ing a three-point landing—but it
was a very good two-point one. and
a little rough The plane rolled over
the ground for a few bumps, and
came to a stop not far from where
he stoxi.
Vivian climbed out of tbs plane,
her ev^s 'ike stuis. and Bark rubbed
his hand r.ff? i ts eyes she looked
at him alarmed.
‘ What is wrong. Bark, ire you
ill?"
' My Godhe shot out at her. an
grily. "what were vou trying to do.
scare me to death?”
“Oh—I didn't think " She lock’d
crestfallen. “I thought I would sur
prise you—I'm sorry."
He held her close when she came
up to him. and she could feel him
tremble.
"Didn't I do swell?" She shook
him and laughed “Aren’t you proud
of me?”
"Very," he replied without enthu
siasm. "But you ruined mv day. I
was sure you were crashing."
She laughed at his fears.
’ Oh. it gave me a sense of power
that I've never had in my life be
fore. Bark I
ing petty could ever touch me Spain.
I felt like an ,?agle—a great, seating
eagle—king of the skv!”
“You must always feel that way,"
he told her. " There is no reason
in the world why you should feel
otherwise. You nave sometmng net
one person in Bender lias. There
aren't 10 people in the town that
would dare do w.’nt you nave done
Don’t you think they’ll all take off
their hats fo you when ihey hear
you were all alone, flying above
them today? And you. with your
money and your position end your
pretty clothes—and all you have—
you let things worry you. I don't
know a woman in the world that
has everything you have."
It was balm to Vivian. Her heart
felt light as a feather when she
started home. She was a lucky girl.
She didn’t have Ken*. But one
couldn't have everything in the
world. She passed Dovte on the
street and hailed her gaily.
A sudden thought, cart* to her.
She was in a reckless m-iod, and it
struck her as funm.
“Why. hello. Countess* Where
have you been? I just decided to
day to throw a party. It's to cele
brate my first solo fligh*. Just a
little get-together tonight. Will you
come?'*
She was radiant 8ur«* of herself
Dovle gave her a sharp, envious
look. But she couldn't very well re
fuse, Vivian laughed aloud. It, was
a triumphant laugh. Sh<* felt like
an eagle, soaring in the sky. that
had left, its cares all on the ground.

One-third of *11 the deaths in
the United State? occur under the
age of six years. It has been shown
that there are ten times as many
deaths during the five year* be
fore school age. as during the full
ten years of school life.
There can be no doubt that the
first five years of life are the most
important from the health stand
point If we could take charge of
these children and give them a
foundation of good health, we
would change the medical map of
America.
I want you to know what a great
authority said along this line. I
quote: "The susceptibility to in
fection is generally’ greater the
younger the child Over *0 per
cent of all cases of diphtheria and
of all deaths from diphtheria occur
before the age of five. Malnutri
tion. likewise. is more prevalent
among pre-school than among
school children. Rickets, a disorder
of nutrition, is almost as common
as dental cares and is essentially a
pre-school disease. Approximately
15 per cent of 3 000 pre-school chil
dren clinically examined In Gary.
Ind.. showed bony defects of rachi
tic origin With few exceptions,
the typical defects of school chil
dren. such as malnutrition and nose
and throat troubles are more pre
valent among pre-school children ”
I am not surprised that this au
thority expresses his indignation
over our neglect of the voung chil
dren. "Fundamentally this situa
tion grows out of the fact that we
have been slow in appreciating the
medical and developmental signifi
cance of the early years of child
hood. We have intrusted these
years too comoletelv to the unaided
heme and to Providence.
These are the years that chil
dren must be watched with the
greatest vigilance The early years
are the important ones. From
babyhood to school ace is the per

precious life.

board makes it a point to determ

dren applying for admission to the

when parents should he advised of

that everybody will learn the im
