The Traffic Problem
There are more automobiles In Brownsville than
ever before. There are more paved streets than ever
before. It is therefore axiomatic that there are more
traffic accidents than ever before. It is not only ax
iomatic in theory- but In reality.
A large portion of the cases coming before Corpor
ation Judge A. A. Browne grow out of traffic acci
dents. Many of these cases are of serious nature.
Limbs are broken and even lives are lost. A young
child recently fell victim of a camion.
Human nature is human nature. Doubtless there
Will always be traffic accidents. But many o? them
could be avoided by sticking to the letter of the law.
Seldom is there an accident in which one or both of
the participants have not violated the traffic ordi
nances.
It is impossible for the police to cover the entire
city with their present force. Traffic Is watched
closely in the business district but two of the main
arteries are not adequately policed. These arc Eliza
beth and Thirteenth streets. Elizabeth* carries the
burden of the traffic to West Brownsville and the
highway and Thirteenth and Fourteenth the traffic
to Victoria Heights. El Jardtn. airport and Boca Chica.
These roads are loaded with vehicles each day.
There has been a move on foot for some time to
place traffic officers on these roads. If this Is done,
it should do much to lessen the number cf r.ccidcnts.
The Ocean Beach Drive
Owners of Ocean Beach Drive. Inc, announce
plans to spend $3.d00.000 on the north end of Padre
Island, opposite Flour Bluff, to make a resort renter
Included in the plans, according to Corpus Chrlstl
papers. Is improvement of the driveway from the
north end cf the island to opposite Point Isabel.
This drive was orgilnally a irram of Col. Ram
Robertson, who labored with it for more than two
years and finally tot ferries to operating r.t both ends
of the island and construct-d a causeway at the Cor
pus Chrlstl end. Almost insurmountable obstacles
were encountered by Col. Robertson <n the pioneering
ttage of the development. Cars became renarated
from their base of supplies and broke down, rurvev
parties in more than one instance were forced to walk
long distances to secure aid and Col. Robertson, him
self. was stranded several days at one time.
That nioneering stage had been nassed. however,
when the drivewav. which extends 150 miles fin the
gulf coast, most of It over a fine beach drive, was ">ld
Now all that remains is to build bridges over a few
Tnarshy places, nave me two soft rpots. erect n
telephone line, establish a patrol and start the traffic
Col. Robertson did all of these things and had
traffic using the islands for several months, but the
the improvements were of a temporary nature and did
not stand up under wind and tide.
The drive w-hm in regular use will reduce the dis
tance between the Valley and Corpus Chrlstl. Hous
ton and other up-state points by about 50 miles. Tt
also will provide a loop drive into and out of the Val
ley which should prove attractive to tourists, especial
ly that part of it which traverres the island rlong the
beach.
Someday that beach driveway, the longest In the
world, will become a reality and tt will be a realization
of the dream of Col. Robertson.

Bottled Citrus Fruit Juice
kin A report of the United State* department of
agriculture on bottled beverage* there appears this
paragraph:
"Bottled grape Juice Is made In New York. Ohio,
Michigan. Arkansas and Missouri and on the Pacific
coast. Cherry Juice is produced in comparatively
small amounts at certain canneries in the middle
west, where the Juice is obtained from the pitting
machines. Citrus fruit juices are obtained in increas;
ing amounts from California and Florida."
In that last sentence there is a suggestion for the
Valley.
If California and Florida are producing bottled
citrus fruit juices "in increasing amounts." as this
report says, the bottlers are finding a ready market
for their product.
Bottled orange Juice, bottled lemon Juice and bot
tled grapefruit Juice and gaining In favor. The Val
ley will find this a profitable manner to dispose of cull
fruit. It Is worth investigating.

consequences—Nashville Southern Lumberman.

SEA CHANTIES FOR STOCK PLAYERS AT SEA
(With the Usual Apologies!
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely aea
and the sky.
And all I ask is a smart ship where the stock quota

And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the
green seas roaring.
And a gray mist on the sea's face, and the market
soaring.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the
running tide
Is a wild call and a clean call that cannot be denied.
And all I ask is a bullish day with the blue chips fly

And the flung spray and the blown spume and the
Morgans buying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagabond
gipsy life
Where the bulls play and the bears play and the
wind's like a whetted knife. .
And all I ask is an inside tip from a passenger fm

And a good rise and a sweet gain at the market's
closing.

A tip sheet and a flowing sea.
A hoard that follows fast.
And give the white and r.peedinc rhip

But what care I if I can ret
My market orders through?

A life on the ocean wave.
A home In the rolling deep
Where the touring gamblers roar
Of the stocks that thev should keep;

On this dull and chaining shore
Oh. give me the flashing brine—
And a tip from a stevedore!

here to see you at such an hour! I
declare, I was just geting ready for
bed. as all decent people should, if
they're going to be up in time for
church on the Sabbath I shall tell
him so. too.’*
She had lived out of the world
for twenty years . . . and for
her it was still a place where people
went to market on Saturday nlgnt.
to church on Sunday morning, to
vespers on Sunday afternoon, and
to church once again after supper
on Sunday night.
She knew that there were road
houses and bootleggers and wild
parties ... but she knew aobut
them only through the columns of
the newspapers. Just as she knew
In the same way that there were
violent murders and airplane acci
dents and sensational divorces.
She never connected them with
her children.
Chatty heard her talking to Bry
ant about the high price of the new
cherries that had Just come on the
market, and how she had been able
to buy eggs for twentv cents a doz
en years ago. when she first began
to keep house.
She frowned a little when Chatty
came into the room and Bryant
said that Winnie was having a little
“Jollification' ’at her flat and want
ed them both to come over.
“It seems a little late to be start
ing out on a party, doesn’t it?” she
asked, mildly. “What time do you
think you’ll be home. Chatty? 1
don’t like you to miss your sleep.”
“Oh. I’ll be home early.” Chatty
answered. “And really, mother. I’ve
had about five hours’ sleep already
.... I feel as fresh as a daisy.”
8he looked as fresh as a daisy
too. with her eyes clear and just the
lightest dusting of powder on her
skin.
“What’s the matter with you’
You look like a ghost, kid." Winnie
said to her. when she walked Intc
the hat. Didn’t I tell you last night
never to go without rouge and lip
stick again? You're a knock-out
with a little color in your face.”
She followed Chatty into the tiny
bedroom off the living room, and
watched her while she rubbed rouge
Into her cheeks and covered her lip:
with scarlet salve.
Chatty had expected a crowd, but
there was no one in the flat bu1
Winnie and Jim Bowen and Bryant
Everything was In beautiful or
der. and there were sandwiches and
, salted almonds and a pitcher of
cocktails on a little table In the
living room.
The radio was bringing some far-j
away dance music into the little
flat. The window were open to the
1 warm night, and a bowl of white
and yellow daisies stood on one win
dow’ sill.
“Wc certainly have worked In this
place this afternoon and evening,
haven’t we, boys?” Winnie asked
them, as they pulled up their chairs
‘to the little white covered table.
Then she closed one bright eye
in a solemn wink at Chatty.
"I'm trying to show Jim what a
good housekeeper I am." she added.
“I'm trying to vamp him Into mar
rying me.”
Young Jim looked as if he had
been sufficiently ‘ vamped” for al
| most anything, even now. His eyes
rested on Winnie’s lively, sparkling
I face with the look oof a sick puppy
! and he kept tight hold of one of her
hands while he poured out four
big cocktails and passed the sand
wiches.
“You were meant for me-e-," sang
the radio, yearningly, “I was meant
for you-o-o—”
“Ain’t It the truth!” laughed Win
nie. In her shallow, light-hearted
way. “That's what all men think
when they first fall In love. How
about it. Bryan?”
Bryant, twirling his glass between
his fingers, shook his head.
“Don’t ask me anything about
love." he said. "Wait until I'm free
anvwav.”
Free? . . . Now. what did he mean
by that. Chatty wrondered Was he
engaged or married? . . . She might
have known that a man an good
looking as he would be all tied up.
somehow or other.
“What do you men?” she asked.
“Are you married?”
It was Winnie who answered her.
“Well, he is and he Isn't," she said.
“Bryant’s been separted from his
wife as long as I've known him—
but she won't divorce him. She’s a
fine kind of a woman, if you ask
me! Bryant, have you talked to her
lately?”
He nodded, his eyes still on the
half-emptied glass in his hand.
“Oh. sure.” he said dully. “Everv
time I forget to send her a check
she has her lawyer call me up. And
she calls me up. too. . . 8he
sure is some hard-boiled babv!"
That shocked Chatty.
It shocked her more than the

Health' and Right Living
BY ROYAL 8. COPELAND, U. O.
Former Commissioner of ilcsltb
The editor of a mid-western pa
per wants an article on hives. Ap
parently one of his readers is suf
fering from this trying ailment and
is looking for a means of escape. I
cm glad to describe the treatment
lor this trouble.
Hives Is a strange disease. With
out warning and often without dis
coverable cause, big welts or swell
ings appear on the surface of the
body. There may be but one weit
or there may be a hundred. The
skin looks and feels as if a swarm
of Jersey mosquitoes had made an
attack upon the helpless victim. The
itching, smarting, burning, tantaliz
ing sensations are painful to bear.
It is Impossible to keep from
scratching and digging the inflamed
parts.
Sometimes the reaction Is so great
that there is actually fever and real |
illness. It is no trifling thing to
suffer such an attack.
The worst part cf it all is that
the sufferer cannot console him
self with the thought that pretty
soon It will be over and that that j
will be the end of the trouble, for
one alack of hives is almost sure
to be followed by another and by
r. neated attacks.
Invariably this ailment is the out
ward and visible sign of an inter
nal poisoning. This may be a poi
soning from bad food, or from a
given food that is harmful to that
particular person. In short, he may
have what the doctors call an
“idiosycrasy"; what is food for one
may be poison to another because
of some individual peculiarity.
In a case like this, a careful pro
cess of elimination will disclose the
offending food. One after the oth
er, this, that and the other food
must be omitted from the diet. It
may be milk, cream, cheese, eggs,
some form of meat, or another ar
ticle of diet.
The scientists have discovered a
way of making food vaccines which
are used to discover the offending
food. The arm is scratched a bit
and the vaccine used until one is
found that produces a "reaction."
This Is a quick way to locate the
offensive foodstuff.
Sometimes pus Infection—In the
teeth, tonsils, nasal sinuses, car.!
gall-bladder, or elsewhere, may be
productive cf a poison which will
cause hives. A careful medlcol ex
amination Is likely to find the seat
of the trouble.
For the itching and painful local
symptoms, hyposulphite of soda, a
tablespoonful to half a pint of wa
somehow. It seemed terrible for a
man to call the woman he once i
loved and protected “a hard-boiled
baby."
“Well, that's one thing you cant
say about Chatty, anyhow." Win
nies voice cut through her thoughts.
“3hc certainly is as soft-boiled as
they come . . F.nish your drink
Chatty, and pep up!"
Chatty emptied her glass and |
held it out agam to be filled She I

at once, although there was cer- j
tainly nothing tto laugh aboout just

“What are you chortling to your- i
■elf about?" Winnie asked her
sharply “Come on—let us all In on

“There Isn't any." Chatty began j
to shake her head, which felt heavy
and dimf all at ones. “I'm lust bo
ginning to feel happy. Winnie, that's
all. You told- me to pen un. and I'm j
pepping up," that's all.” She laughed j
again.
Alreadv the room was swimming |
around her a little, and the slices
of orange In the glas snitcher on |
the table looked like goldfish in a
bowl.
But she managed to make her feet
behave when Bryant put his arms
around her and begin to dance
with her to the sentimental music of
"Until Tomorrow.”
“Sweet little girl.” he said to her.
his lips against her hair. He put j
one hand under her little pointed !
chin, lifted her face to his. and i
kissed her.
Somewhere In the whirling lights j
and shadows of the room were Win
nie and Jim Bowen. Chatty knew.
But she couldn’t see them, and she
could barely hear their voices above
the sound of the music . . . She
didn’t care whether they were there
or not.
Presently she realized that she
was not In the room . . She was
with Bryant out in the cool, sweet
darkness, and there were stars
above them They were sitting on a
stane step and his arm was around
her.
“Where are we now. Bryant?" she

heavily. It was hard to talk.

The Astronomical Hod Carrier

The writer once heard Dr. Percl

he docs all of the hard work." This
Is true, and the interested members
of mankind derive the benefit. The
calculation of t’.e orbit of a comet,
based on three observations, re
quires two days of closely applied
mathematical work by a skilled
