Deep Water Harbor Next
The northern terminal of Pan-American Airways,
Inc., is permanently located at the Brownsville mu-,
nlcipal airport.
Pan-American will take over the airfield July 1,
and immediately begin building operations which arc
to amount to $100,000 and not more than $200,000 in
three years.
This permanently puts Brownsville on the air maps
of the world as tire location of one of the mo6t im
portant international aerial gateways. George L. Rihl,
vice president of Pan-American, expresses the belief
more passengers will travel this way than Will go
through the Miami. Fla., gateway to Central and
South America.
Then this is an accomplished fact.
Brownsville next must make real her dreams of
becoming the site of a deep water port.
With two of the most important rail lines of the
United States serving the section, with three air mail
and passenger lines operating and a fourth to be es
tablished soon, with concrete highways connecting
with upstate points, only one modem method of
transportation is denied to the Valley—that is ship
ping.
The railroads provided an outlet for the thousands
of tons of produce grown on Valley farms and made
possible the development which has attracted the at
tention of the entire nation. They made this far
southern province easily accessible.
The highways and automobile travel brought in
the tourists in increasing numbers and spread the
fame of the climate and opportunities for outdoor
recreation.
, The plane established quick communication be
tween the Valley and the outside world, eliminating
expensive delays in business transaction, and placing
the entire area closer to the center of activities.
It is left for water transportation to supply com
munication with European and other foreign coun
tries and to reduce freight costs to a point which will
Insure continued prosperity to Valley agriculture.
The Brownsville project offers the most feasible
plan for securing this needed reduction In freight
« rates and for establishing connection with foreign
'ands
Lots build the port next.
Colquitt and Dye.
Former Gov. Oscar B. Colquitt wired a protest to
Gov. Dan Moody In which he asked the Texas gover
nor to veto the Margie Neel resolution. In his mes
sage hr said that democrats of a St. Louis district
nominated for a seat In congress James McLemore, a
negro. They did—for a purpose.
Cong. Dyer is a republican. He was a republican
nominee standing for re-election. He is the author
of the federal anti-lynching bill. He has been push
ing the bill for years. He is one of the bitterest of
the Northern congressmen toward the South and has
been bleeding inwardly and outwardly for years “over
the wrongs” of the Southern negro at the hands of
white people of the 8outh.
His district is the black belt district of St. Louis
McLemore was named to make the race against Dyer.
Dyer won He had the backing of the republican
machine, the federal administration, the state ad
ministration. He won as the spokesman of the black
belt district of Missouri
Mediator Colquitt is a former newspaperman. A
newspaperman should state the facts.

INTIMATE INTERVIEWS WITH FAMOUS
INDORSERS
No. 2—Floreni Ziegfeld
Q—Mr. Ziegfeld. you are the All-American in
dorser. are you not?
A—If I am not I have been wasting a lot of ink.
Q—Is there any nationally known product which
you have not indorsed?
A—Nothing that comes to mind at the moment.
I've indorsed about everything in the country except
George White's Scandals, the income tax. and the
electric chair.
Q—Isn’t it quite a strain to testify for so many
things?
A—Well, it is hard on a beginner, but one gets used
to it. A few years ago when I first began indorsing
products I couldn’t turn out more than one or two
testimonials a day. Now I can shake out a hatful on
five minutes’ notice. It's a system.
Q—I see you have indorsed the Blue Rajah cigar
ette.
A—That’s one of ’em. yes. I am proud to say that
I consider the Blue Rajoh cigarette makes shaving
easier, softens the beard and leaves the skin feeling
clear, cool and comfortable. I rub Just a little on
each cheek and ....
Q—You're thinking of Woofett’s shaving cream.
A—Maybe you’re right.
Q—By the way. what was it you said in indorsing
Woofett’s shaving cream?
A—I said it removes tartar, strengthens the gums,
keeps away mouth germs and kills halitosis. I know
of no other preparation that ....
Q—You’re mixed up again. Mr. Ziegfeld.
A—Well, you'll have to pardon it; I’m a very busy
! man.
Q—I saw an advertisement last night in which
you also indorsed Speevick balloon tires, did I not?
A—Ah. yes. indeed. I am delighted to state that
for aiding indigestion and helping the tired business
man fight off the ailments of middle age the Spee
vick balloon tire is without an equal. I always carry
a little box of them In my grip when I am away on
the road.
Q—And I observe, also, an indorsement under your
photograph and signature of Whatziss henna for
beautifying the hair.
A—Did I indorse that?
Q—Don't you knowr you did?
A—I never could be sure without looking up the
check.
Q—Getting down to business. I am here to see if
I can get you to say a word for the B. & K. electric
ice box.
A—For how much?
Q—Would $5,000 interest you?
A—Not ordinarily, but this is a dull day You may
say to the American people that I believe the B. & K.
electric superior to ar.y car I have ever driven. It con

' Washamsgtom Lifter
By HERBERT C. PLUMMER
.. _ -__J-• - ■ - - - - - -- —
WASHINGTON, June 28,—The theatrical stock
company that was such a favorite of Mrs. Calvin
' Coolidge when she was mistress of the White House,
has succumbed to the doldrums.
For five seasons, the National Players have fur
nished WashlhgtOri the only stage performances dur
ing the summer months. People of all stations flock
ed to the theater on E street. The company boasted
of being one of the most successful in the United
States.
But after July 1 the doors cf the National will be
darkened. Not until autumn will it re-open. Then
it will not be stock, but revues and plays booked from
New York.
The management blames strife with stage hands
and musicians for closing.
Mt.i Coolidge was one of the most enthusiastic
! natrons of the National during stork. Every week *he
was in town, she attended the Wednesday matinee
• • * a
NO BOX FOP HER
She had three reserved seats in the seventh row
cf the orchestra. A box was offered her by the man
ager. Steve Cochran, but it was declined She pre
ferred to sit with the hundreds of other women.
Cochran says that the Wednesday matinee at the
National was the most colorful performance of the
i week. Ttae theater always was crowded to its capaci
1 ty on account of Mrs. Coolidge s presence. Women
would await the then first lady’s arrival outside the
theater. Her appearance was the signal for much ap
plause.
The company would hold a little reception at the
i conclusion of the Wednesday matinee in honor of
Mrs. Coolidge. She never failed to remain until it was
over. The actors and actresses would make short
speeches. Mrs. Coolidge applauded them enthusiast
ically. * ,
Nor was Mrs. Coolidge the only person high in the
official life of Washington to attend the National
during the stock season.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson came regularly even- Thurs
! day night and occupied a seat in the orchestra.
Col. Ulysses S. Grant III, superintendent of fed
; eral buildings and parks, and his mother rarely miss
ed a performance.
The President and Mrs. Hoos’er were not Interest
! cd. but Mrs. Hoover’s sister and a party of friends
saw the revival of David Bolasco's “Girl of the Golden
i West" a few weeks ago.
• • * •
WILSON LIKED SHOWS
President Wilson was enthusiastic over the theater,
as was President Harding. President Ccolidge attend
ed the National only twice while he was in Washing
ton.
Incidentally, the White House has been wired for
talking moving pictures. The first full length picture
was shown the other night to the President and Mrs.
Hoover with members of the diplomatic corps present.
We also hear that President Hoover Is considering
making a novel use of talkies.
In the future when someone desires an audience
with the president and is unable to come to Washing
ton, he may sit down before a microphone and cam
era and outline his views.
The disk and film then will be sent to the White
House. President Hoover, in his leisures moments,
will have the sound film shown him and make his
decision.
West Texas Wool Clip Sold
West Texas’ largest individual wool clip held over
from the 1928 season has been sold at 33 1-2 cents per
pound to Boston buyers. The clip aggregated 195.000
pounds, all long wool and the sellers are said to have
refused around 45 cents for the wool last year. It
must be true that the early bird catches the worm.

“I took you through a tail spin—you fainted.”
READ THIS FIRST:
Vivian Matthews, shy and un
happy because she was a doorstep
baby, is railed a ‘'flat tire'* until
Kentworth Hiliman Johns, jilted
by "Dovie” Jansen for the Count
Von Popper, marries her. It is with
the understanding that it is to be
platonic, and at the end of a year
she is to receive one hundred thou
sand dollars and a divorce in Paris.
Mann Barknw. New York artist,
paints Vivian, and teaches her to
1 fly. "Dovie” mysteriously returns
without her count, and contrives to
capture Kent. A mysterious
stranger calls and asks Vivian a
great many questions about her
self. promising to return in a few
days. Is she to know whom she Is
at last? Vivian takes Kent for his
first flight pnd he is frightened,
i She decides to show him!
(Now Go On With the Story'
• • •
CHAPTER XXXII
When Kent came to. Viyian and
Bark were lifting him out of the
Diane. Vivian's face was a study.
There was a lock in Mann's eves
that he struggled manfully to hide.
"Whet—what hannened?” Kent
shivered as he felt his feet on
good old terra flrma.
"I took you through a tail spin."
Vivian tried to look sympathetic,
* and you fainted"
“F-fainted! Why. I never did
that in my life before. I must have
gotten sick."
"Suppose so." Vivian agreed—and
so did Bark.
j She felt a little sorrv then, when
she saw how* pale and upset he was.
“You better let me give yon a
' brandv\" Mann offered, and they
I went into the house.
Kent could not take his eyes from
Vivian. How in the name of good
I ness rould she go no in the air like
\ that and do tricks end keen so cool?
j She raw he was staring at her and
j smiled.
"Feel better?"
“Yes. Haven't you ever been
nervous at all in a plane?” lie ask
ed her. when Bark was getting the
j brandv. “Never at all?”
"Only once, when we left the
ground the first time. When I saw
| how beautiful everything was from
, the air I lost all fear.”
“By golly, you're wonderful!" He
j thrilled her with his enthusiasm.
I "A girl in a million couldn t do it."
Hew quickly she forgave him for
being a coward. She put her hand
on his head sympathetically.
“Poor boy. I should have told
you I was going into a tail spin.
That wasn't fair."
‘'It wasn’t exactly mv idea of a
good time." he grinned, sheepishly,
a little ashamed of himself. “May
be IU get over It "
“Then you want to go up again
some time!”
"Uh huh,” he shook his head to
indicate his willingness as Barkow
handed him the brandy. But he
didn't name a specific date!
• • •
Sunday afternoon Bark walked
over to Vivian's, and they decided
to return to his house and go for
a flight. Tt was a glorious, warm
dav. and everyone was in holiday
aft;re. Neighbors were sitting on
♦heir perches. Thev nodded as
Vivian and Mann passed—and
there was sharp disapproval In
some of their faces.
Joe Keller and his wife waved
from their north, and Mrs. Keller
j shook her head.
“The little dumb bell isn't so
dumb after all. She’s held that
artist here for a whole year, al
most. It’s plain as the nose on a
man’s face. Why Kent stands for
it. I can’t see.”
“Well ” Joe took Vivian’s side. “I
think she shows good horse sense,
look at Kent and Aurelia Jansen.
; That ain’t a secret is it? Maybe
; sbe just don’t want him to make
a fool out of her. If you ask me,
che’s goin’ him one better”
Mrs. Keller wasn’t used to having
Jo? talk that way. She gave him
a niercing look.
“You’ll be on her string too. first
thing you know. I guess.”
“She wouldn’t look at me.” Joe
act back complacently and return
ed to his newspaper. “I’m too fat.”
Thus Vivian had another enemy.
Lillian Keller soent the entire next
afternoon making calls and never
failed to bring up the subject of
how auecr it looked to see Vivian
and Berk spending so much time
j together.
Bark and Vivian wpre nearing
the tennis court when a change
came over Vivian’s face. A small
sport roadster was stopping at the
courts, and Dovie pot cut and
walked possecvlvely toward them,
hanging to Kent's arm.
She held tight to Kent's arm,
and he was looking down at her.
laughing. From the corner of her
eyes Dovie saw Bark and Vivian,
and put her arm around him. She
saw Kent take hold of the hand
that was around his waist—and bit
her lip. •
Deciding not to recognize them,
she hurried Barkow along. When
they were well past. Dovie turned
and pointed.
"Oh. look, honey! There goes
Vivian nnd her sweetie. I hope
'.hey didn't see us.”
Kent frowmed nnd looked after
them.
"Well, what of it? You don’t
think Id hide anything from her.
do you? She knows I see you. In
' fact. I told her all about your mar
i rage nnd how it happened. I
[ thought I should. *
I Dovie g-nbbed his arm Hrr face
! was working.
"You—you didn’t! You couldn't!1*
“Why not?” His jaw set. “After
all. I married her. Isn't she en
titled to an explant ion when some
I thing is as important as this is?
I had to have some excuse for
making up with vou. Yours was
I the best I could find.”
“You had no business to tell an
other woman about—about my
shame.**
"She was very nice about it. She’s
j not like that.” Kent defended Viv
, tan. “She said for me to go ahead
and do whatever would make me
i happiest.”
Dovie’s eyes s!anfed. and she
looked up at him. shrewdly.
“You sec! She wants you to di
vorce iier so she can go to Mann
Barkow—openly.”
Kent stopped dead still and look
I ed at her. She saw the disapproval
i in his eves, and knew she had
I made n big mistake.
“Thet’s enough” he told her.
J coldly. “I’ll not have you saying
anything like that about Vivian
She has alavs been a good, honest
| kid. I’ve neglected her. That’s
why she hangs around with Bar
kow’. I certainly don’t blame her.
She has to get something out of
life. But get this straight—she’s
nothing to him but a good friend
. . . she’s not that kind.”
Dovie was trembling from head
to foot. For a minute she wondered
if she were going to strike him
with her fists. He glared back at
Health and Right Living j
BY ROYAL 8. COPELAKD, M. D. P*
Former Commissioner of Health
I ■ . .
We are In the season when little
babies must have the closest of at
tention. Hot weather is bad enough
for all us huskies, but it is terrible
indeed for the frail Infant.
Let me say to the dear mother:
•You must take the best of care
oft yourself. You must have good
he’alth. poise and get rest enough
to restore your strength and vigor.
Each day Is cne of trial, and hard
indeed even if you are perfectly
well.
i If you get too little sleep and
lose your appetite, the baby is in
fluenced almost at once. The child
becomes restless and irritable. It
won't be long before the poor little
thing loses its normal eagerness for
food. Then comes diarrhoea and
vomiting.
It is to be honed vour child can
continue breast feeding all through
the hot season. If there Is enough
for that purpose, it Is a lucky baby
Indeed.
There is no real substitute for
| mother s milk. The scientists are
i making progress in arranging artl
< ficia! feedings, but In many things
j it is impossible to improve on Na
| ture. In the matter of baby feed
; mg. certainly, nothing is equal to
breast feeding, provided the mother
is perfectly normal.
It is extremely difficult to keep
; cow's milk in proper condition dur
ing the hot days and night.v* of
' summer. Unless the milk is kept
j at very low» temperature, below 50
i degrees, the germs or bacteria al
ways present, are sure to multiply.
In contrast to this is the pure
and uncontaminated mother’s milk.
There is little danger of infections
from that fluid.
Of course, poisons and illness can
i be carried to the infant if the
! mother is out of health. But if the
mother is normal the milk carries
substances and agents that guard
j against disease and cause the baby
to grow rapidly into strong body
and vigorous health.
Babies who are properly fed.
whrther on breast milk or cow's
| milk, have such vigor that they re«
i sist disease. Such babies will en
! dure the heat of summer, no mat
j ter where the temperature goes.
Keep in touch with your family
doctor. If baby does not thrive as
you think it should, talk with him.
In all probability your fears are
groundless. But I don’t want the
mother to have any fears. They
arc bad for her and fbr the baby.
