The Valley Gains
Best available information, secured soon after the
recent stock market collapses in Wall Street, was to
the effect that few Valley people l06t any money
wtsen the slide took place.
On the other hand the Valley has a good oppor
tunity to gain considerably from adjustments that
are expected ta follow the stock price drops.
For almost a year now the bond market has been
poor. Bonds which formerly brought a good premium
have gone begging, or have been purchased by indi
viduals at a discount.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley issues and sells many
bonds. It will continue Issuing and selling them, be
cause it Is a growing country, and must build public
Improvements to keep pace with private develop
ments.
The optimists see in the reaction which they ex
pect, a strong possibility of a better bond market.
People over the country, especially little investors,
are not going to be so prone to gamble their money
on Wall Street for some time to come. Call money
may not pour into Wall Street from the four corners
of the country as it has been doing. The bankers may
decidft that a six per cent bond is better than eight
per cent on call money, if any more such crashes
are in prospect—and they are bound to come if gamb
ling and buying become as general over the country
again as they were just before the recent crash.
A representative of a bond house in the Valley re
cently said that the principal reason for the decline
in the bond market is the large amount of money
placed on call by Investment banks.
“These banks are our largest and steadiest custom
ers," he said. “When they do not buy, we have a hard
time turning bonds. They are using most of their
money now to back stock market speculations.”
A let-up in the stock market speculation is indicat
ed. There is still plenty of money around the country
to buy bonds. In fact there is an over-supply of it,
for conditions generally in the United States are good.
If the investors decide to go back to bonds, as is
predicted, then &e Valley should reap a benefit in
a better price for ita bonds.
Chain Banking Sweeps Country
And now the American Bankers association has let
it be known that chain banking is sweeping the coun
try from coast to coast and from Canada to Mexico,
and that 1850 banks in 39 states, with resources of
$13,275,000,000 has been •‘swept" into various groups by
the force of the whirlwind. It appears that the co
operative spirit is abroad in the land. Now the wheat
growers of the North and Northwest are to be leaned
$100,000,000 through the agency of the farm relief
board to stabilize prices as well as to create a gigantic
holding movement. There is a new civilization and
it is in evidence the wide world over.

READ THIS FIRST:
Rosalie March, seventeen, secures
a position at the hosiery counter of
a store through the kindness of
Kenessa Du Barry, an actress. She
is adored by her landlady. Mother
Murphy, and little Tim O’Hara the
comer newsie. Rosalie discovers a
"run" in her only pair of silk stock
ings. She wears an old cotton pair
to the store, much to the amusement
of the salesgirls. In desperation
she decides to take a silk pair from
stock and make good for them pay
day. She drops them and is ob
served by Alberto Martino, the store
detective, who does not arrest her,
but makes her promise to hide 6ome
suitcases in her room. Rosalie is
frightened, but agrees. Roy Clarke
Andrews, nephew of the store own
er. has several dates with Rosalie,
and falls in love with Rosalie and
asks her to marry him. Rosalie is
called to the phone.
(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
CHAPTER 25
It was a girl’s voice and it sound
ed far off and muffled.
Rosalie was nonplussed at the
girlish “guess who this is" that
came to her.
Oh, Ann Schultz! The girl gig
gled and Rosalie was reassured.
“How would you like to do some
thing you've never done lp your
life before?”
“What Is It?” Rosalie asked her
uncertainly. She couldn’t imagine
Ann calling her.
Again Ann giggled as though it
were a great lark.
"There are a bunch of us out at
the Barnes flying field. Rosalie, and
we are going for a ride in a big
plane. You must come out and go
with us.”
Roy was standing in the door and
he heard Rosalie say, as though she ;
might be a little disappointed.
“Oh. Ann I’d love to. really, but
I have company."
“Bring him along ”
"But-but I can’t.”
“Wait a minute.” Roy called soft- 1
!y. and went down to the next flight '
and asked her what it teas all about.
“There is a bunch from the store
going on an airplane ride. Ann
Schultz wants us to come out.”
He hesitated thoughfully. Well,
it wouldn't be long until the whole
world would know that he was going
to marry Rosalie, anyway. He
liked flying and he thought it would
be just the thing to cheer her up.
“Would you like to go. dear?” he
said then. “If you would, tell her
well be out in about fifteen min#
utes.”
It would be amusing If it was a
store crowd to see their surprise
when he came out with Rosalie. He
had never been conventional or
class conscious as long as people
were amusing and he wanted to be
with them.
Tim was at his stand when they
drove by. He had never seen Roy
Andrews with Rosalie before and
his jaw dropped with surprise. Then
his heart burned with jealousy. That
swell car and all that money—and
Andrews so good looking and every
thing! He was only a muddle of
freckles and red hair. No matter
what he could ever do for Queen
she would never think as much of
a guy like him as of a rich and
keen looker like Roy.
Then Tim decided that a rich man
who went out with a poor, unpro
tected girl like Rosalie was out for
no good. He doubled his fist and
squared his jaw again. That might
be another bird he'd have to take
a sock at.
Tim was beginning to take his role
of protector with great seriousness.
What he could Qpver mean to Rosa
lie was very vague in his mind. But
he meant alwavs to have her for his
girl in his heart and take care of
her.
No knight in shining armor could
have excelled tbe pugnacious little

rish newsbov In braverv or deter
mination at that moment. Rosalie
.as his shining star—and he was
ier bulwark through anything that
might come to her.
Rosalie sat In the car beside Roy
miling to herself at the surprise in
tore for Ann. When she saw her
rlth Roy Andrews she would just
dumb give ut> the chost! How
ronderful it was of him to take
ier to meet the store crowd who
i-ould know the truth now-.
Thev passed a rambling low bun
galow'at a crossroads. It had shiny
ihlte paint and green shutters that
[learned in Che light, that struck it
rom the car. Rosalie thought it
ias just what she would like for her
>wn home. She smiled shyly up at
lim.
"Did vou see that litttle house?
isn't it “homey and rozy?*'
"I’ve always liked it," he assent
ed. smiling. "I bet I thought the
same thing you did.'
"What? You tell me and Til tell
mu.”
He whispered as though It were a
;reat secret
"I thought—that is the kind of a
Little house I want for us.”
Her heart swelled with happiness,
ind her teeth showed in the shy
little kid erin he loved when she
idmitted that it was exactly what
she had been thinking. Her love
ras still so new and so hard to
imacine that she felt self-conscious
pvery time he looked at her in his
Intimate, happy wav. She wanted
«> much to touch him all of the
ttmp_but she held back with a re
serve he adored.
Sometimes her coming position m
his wife overwhelmed her. How
could she ever learn all the things
she would have to learn in order to
be the gracious hostess and Hie
clever wife of a man of his stand
ing would simplv have to have, she
knew he thought her perfect. He
had told her so. But if he knew'
how much she didn't know!
Why. she would have to buy all
sorts of books and magazines and
read and read and read for the next
few weeks so that she would know
how people in his strata of society
lived and acted. She knew she could
catch on quickly. High school had
been a simple matter. She never
remembered struggling at a lesson
in her life.
As though he were reading her
thoughts he said to her a little
while later:
“We have a lot of plans to make,
dearest. The most interesting tiling
I have to do yet is break the news
to Unrle Peter. That will have to
bo done very cleverly."
She looked at him with wide,
puzzled eyes.
“You think he will not approve of
your marrying a girl like me. Oh—
mavbe he won’t—’’
He grinned at her then and bent
and kissed her."
“It Just happens that Uncle Peter
isn’t marrying you, my sweet. Poor
old fellow!"
“You mean—you'd marry me any
“Oh. bless your heart! But—would
you marrv a poor man, providing he
throws me out of mv Job and re

Her little noec went Into the air
with a sniff.
“As if monev makes any differ
ence to ME. I’d rather you didn't
have anv. It would be easier living
in a little apartment all to our
selves. I really don’t know anytltng
about running a big house. I’d
be scared stiff."
Bv that time they were at the
field. He kissed her tenderlv as he
lifted her out of the car. What an
infant! It was a shame for her tc
marrv so young But she had te
be taken care of. And he couldn’t
exist very long without claiming
her. She wa3 so little and dear.
The night was pitch dark and
thev stumbled toward the ble plan?
with motors roaring several hun
dred yards from the road.
Euddenlv a light flashed on them
for a second and Rosalie felt a
large hand over her mouth. She
rould not scream or erv out. Para

Health and Right Living
By ROYAL 8. COPELAND, M. D.
U. 8. Senator from New York.
IT Is to be expected that the delicate and extenstre eoreriaf of the
body must suffer injury and disease. The skin is so exposed to
dust and dirt, the collection of germs, and to accident, that the
wonder la it Is not out of order most of the time. Yet it b remarkably
how infrequently it becomes affected enough to
attract attention.
There are various forma of inflammation
which attack the skin. It is subject to many
diseases, one of them is called “impetigo.”
There are several types of impetigo. Chil
dren are more commonly affected than are
adults. Among school children it may spread
from one to another. The barber shop may
transmit it among men. Sometimes impetigo is
grafted on to some other skin disease by scratch
ing, irritating and infecting the already inflamed
skin.
Fortunately, this all too common akin dis
ease is a very superficial thing and does not
find its way deeply into the tissues. At first
there are flat blisters filled with clear, watery
fluid. Later the contents of the blisters becomes
pus-like and yellow in color. Then the secretion

be the size of a dime and sometimes much larger than this.
The crusts in impetigo have a peculiar appearance- As someone
has said, the crusts look as if they had been "stuck** on the healthy
skin. Bui the crust is removed ■<
there is found a red and angry j
surface.
The disease may attack a~y part |
of the body. The parts of the face j
around the nose and mouth, the i
hairy scalp and the back of the
neck are the favorite places of at
tack.
Impetigo lasts from one to three
weeks. Sometimes there may be
deeper abscesses and delay in heal
ing. The infantile form is more
serious.
Any skin disease In young chil
dren is difficult to heal, because the
itching is great and the temptation
to scratch and dig the affected parts
is Irresistible. Indeed, the chief
treatment of impetigo in children Is
to confine the arms and bands. This
may be done by wrapping the arms
in cardboard splints, making It Im
possible to bend the elbows. In this
way. scratching la prevented.
The crusts must be removed and
a mild ointment applied. A weak
ointment of ammonia ted mercury is
useful. This is made of a strength
of 5 to 10 grains to the ounce. Your
doctor will advise you about the
remedies.
---
To get rid of the crusts, gmam,
dipped in water hot as can be borne,
is applied -ad then covered with e
dry towel. In this way they axe
softened and readily taken off.
It Is necessary to build up the
genera) health. Diet and hygiene
are of the greatest importance.
Cleanliness and care meat be prac
ticed by everybody if the skin Is to
be kept perfect.

SINRISE THE MOON
By Arthur DeV. Carpenter
In Galileo's telescopic pioneering
on the moon, he observed that the
small spools brought to view, had
certain characteristics in common,
viz., their dark parts were i the
side towards the sun's position, but
on the far side from the sun they
gave a bright appearance. This he
compared to hills and valleys on
the earth at sunrise: Valleys still
dark, though the surrounding hill
tops were brilliant with sunbeams.
He also discovered lofty mountain
summits aglow with the morning
sunshine over a background of
black darkness. Thus Galileo was
the first man to discover and be
impressed with scenery constitut
ing the topography of the moon.
