President Hoover Dealt a Solar
Plexus Blow
There are thousands of Spanish American war vet
erans. Names of many of these veterans have never
appeared on the pension rolls. The American con
gress enacted a bill liberalizing the pension law.
granting a small increase per m*n*h In the pension
paid to those who needed pensions far gallant ser
vice to the flag and the honor of the nation and en
abling those who had not been enrolled to plarc their
names on the honor list.
President Hoover vetoed this most meritorious bill.
His veto message was sent to the congress. What
happened filled the White House with gloom and sent
dismay to the hearts of the champions of his veto
measure. This is the record: the senate voted 61 to
18 to override the first veto message of the president
to be acted upon and the house voted 298 to 14 in pass
ing the bill over the presidential veto knife.
It was the most crushing rejection of a veto mes
sage that has taken place under the big dome in the
city of Washington for many decades. Rifle bearers
of the republic who are willing to shed their blood on
the field of battle in defense of the republic and its
flag are entitled to the \’ery best that the national
law makers can give them.
All honor to Senator Tom Connally of Texas. He
is a veteran of the Spanish American war. He led
the fight in the senate for the rejection of the veto
message and the enactment of the bill. All honor to
Morris Sheppard. He stood with Connally in de
fense of the veterans of all the wars who are in the
land of the living today.
Lest we forget, it was veterans' legislation that
brought Calvin Coolidge some of his biggest reverses
in congress. He had never been a soldier: he had
newer bared his bov>m to the bullets of the enemy on
the field of battle. His veto of the soldier bonus
insurance measure was overriden in both the senate
and the house. He was given a thorough congres
sional spanking, but he mustered a greater following
than President Hoover mustered in defense of his
veto of the measure liberalizing pensions for Spanish
War veterans. Coolidge was spanked by a vote of 59
to 36 in the senate and 313 to 78 in the house. Place
the vote in the offirial register.

The Once Over

HEATING BY RADIO
(Copyright, 1930, by The Associated Newspapers.)
The latest news is that a radio tube may soon re
place the furnace, parlor stove and kitchen range for
heattog purposes. Radio Is seen as the heating plant
of the future. It will ultimately give you entertain
ment programs, political speeches, news events, tele
vision pictures, a hot fire and plain home cooking.
• • • •
Whole families will be able to keep comfortable by
twisting a dial, and when a man suddenly feels a
little chilled while sitting in a draft during a blizzard
he will know that something is wrong with his wave
length or B batteries.
• • • •
“Fever tubes" will do the business. The room will
be equipped with condenser plates between the walls.
Heat waves will be projected through the human body,
inducing a fever which will make a tenant asleep in a
snowbank think he is having a nap in a Turkish
bath.
• • • •
If you’re cold you just turn the dial until you get
a rush of blood to the ?iead. If the gale is howling
outside your window and you feel about to develop a
fever you will knew that your radio heating system is
all right.
• • • •
But if you still feel chilly you rap on the set for the
Radio Corporation to send up more heat.
You may figuratively kindle the fire with Amos ‘n’
Andy, build It up with the Goldbergs, fan it with the
gingerale hour and keep it going with symphony or
chestras, Literary Digest programs and political ad
dresses.
• • • •
What will the American of tomorrow do for his ex
: ercise? Nothing used to keep him more active than
I the rare of the old-fashioned coal-burning furnace.
When the chill winds blew, science stretched forth its
i hand and offered but one instrument—a good old
j fashioned shovel. When the blizzard howled with
out, you knew the occasion called for more coal not
j for more radio appliances.
• • t •
If the fire went out during the night you had to
get up in the cold and put in a laborious hour dump
ing the ashes and building a new blaze. It was noth
ing that could be done with an outside aerial and a
set of dry batteries. Keeping the house comfortable
'• during the winter was an effort, not an amusement.
If you had difficulty heating the home you notified
the coal man, not an electrician.
• • • •
But solt days arc ahead. Metallic walls with con
| denser plates are to take the place of the full coal
bin; and the axe. shovel, stoker and grate handle
are to be combined into an artistic dial combining
the hottest features of each.
The new invention heats the body instead of the
room. Every person becomes an Individual range.
But what the average man will want to know is
whether, using the fever tubes, he can percolate the
coffee on his shoulders and bake a potato in the hol
low of his hand?
Well, Its All Right With Vs

Begin Here Today
Judith Grant, beautiful artist’s
model, shares her Greenwich Vil
lage apartment with Chummy
Morley, a lovely girl whose mind has
been a blank since her lover, Alan
Steyne, abruptly disappeared seven
years ago. Steyne returns, but
Chummy falls to recognise him;
meanwhile he falls in love with
Judith, telling her he never loved
Chummy and never knew Chummy
loved him. A few weeks later Chum
my's memory suddenly returns, she
meets Steyne and thinks that
they will eventually be
married. Judith, meanwhile, posing
for Vincent Stornaway, successful
portrait painter, excites the infatua
tion of Bruce Gideon, rich finan
cier. Gideon learns that she has
danced in the choruses of musical
shows, an doffers to star her In a
musical show of her own. She re
fuses. and as she leaves him. runs
into Steyne.
Now Go on With the Story
CHAPTER XII
Judy was taken by surprise, and
her eyes gave Alan a welcome that
made his hand tremble as It closed
over hers. He explained that he had
just walked across from the other
side, having taken his car to a gar
age for repairs.
‘It's such a lovely day." he added.
"Shall we take a little stroll?"
"I want to sit down." Judy said
pathetically. “I'm simply dead
beat."
iney sirouea across tne walk and
sat down. It was as warm as sum
mer; a twilight of pearl and blue
info’ded them gently. The buds on
the trees were almost ready to burst.
Outside the park the lights of the
traffic were like fireflies.
They sat in silence for quite five
minutes. Judy spoke first.
“I saw' you and Chummv at lunch
yesterday.” she said.
"I wanted to ask you to mome too”
Steyne rajoined eagerly; “but Clar
issa said yon were at DickbreadV
snd frightfully busy. I wish I’d
known!"
“T was there on business" Judy's
voice did not encourage further dis
cussion of her own presence. “I was
so glad for chummy; It must have
been a treat.”
’Clarissa enjoyed it. I think. She
w’on t let me take her about much
I think you’re all rather unkind
about it. You won’t go anywhere
with me. I’ve asked Dumont out
heaps of times, and he alwavs has
some excuse.”
"Whv should vou spend vour
money on us?” Judy asked. Her
voice was hoarser than usual. "I
was talking to Chummy last night.
She ought not to stay with me any
longer. She ought to find nice rooms
in some better part of town. She's
not really one of us. Of course we
all adore her. but she belongs to a
different world. I think vou ough’
to persuade her to go.”
' But I think she is quite hapny
Of course, that is, unless vou don’t
want her?”
“Of course T want her; but I
don’t think it’s the p’ace for her."
“I think vou’re wrong. Clarissa
*s * 'borough bohemian in her
♦art"?.”
Wh^re do you live, Alan?” asked
Judy suddenly.
Strangely enough, she had never
inquired before.
"I have rooms In Gramercy Park
I want you to come to see them
when they're finished. I’m making
j two into a big studio.”
"Youil live there then wnen
youre married?”
• • •
Steyne drew* in a sharp breath.
"Why did you as* me mat?”
"Youre not going back on your
word?” Judy exclaimed in alarm.
"No.” he said with a miserable
laugh.
"You have asked her to marry
you. I know. She told me. She Is
absolutely wild with happiness.”
She is not in any hurry," Steyne
said awkwardly. "She wants to go
on as we are for the present. She
wants to work.”
•‘Then you are not marrying at
once?”
“No. Clarissa says six months. I
tell you, she wants to work. Her
work is splendid. She’ll be great
I always thought so.”
"But she loves you more than her
work.” said Judy, with a womans
insight. "She’d rather be your wife
than the greatest artist in the
world,” she added, torturing herself
willfully. “There aren’t any words
to express how Chummy loves you.”
“And there aren't any words to
tell how I love you. Judy,” said the
young man in a broken voice.
The girl sat as if frosen to the
seat.
"And you love me—I know you
do.” he went on
"I don’t—I don’t!”
“Look at me. Judy, and tell me
you don’t.”
She tried to look at him. Fvery
rerve in her body was quivering.
There was so little space between
them. He was so near. She knew
that she loved him. She had loved
him ever since that first night or
their meeting. She knew’ what love
was now: and she could have noth
ing to Uyo on Jyjt ^ f*retr*Q
She tried not to look, but he
drew he- eves Her whole soul seem
ed to go out of her, and her heart
seemed to come up in her throat,
: so that she nearly choked. There
were tears streaming down her
face.
Alan laid hts hand on hers for a
serond. She tried to move away,
bid she eoulld not She just sat
th'-re. with the great tragic passion
in her eves. §

1 can’t stand it!”
"You must stand it.’ Her lips
fo-med the words, but the voice
sounded like someone else’s. “It’s
j fare.”
"It may be fate, but it’s damna
, b!e--«nd it’s wrong!”
“It's not wrong. Chummy loved
j ymj al. those vears. You know’ she
did You’re all the world to her
j Yin can’t go back on her ”
Tm not going to; but I love vbu

reckless. "And I want to hear you

Bees are suddenly making them
selves very prominent in Browns
ville. Not so very many days ago a
queen bee and many he-bees played
havoc at the airport, chasing pilots
out of ships and making life mlser
abel for mechanics. Two days ago
another swarm arrived at the Mun
icipal airport which was caught by
one of the pilots and taken home.
And Wednesday noon a swarm

An employe of the store caught

The port bill has g>ne to Presi

and write his name.

that Hoover be asked I > give th\ pen

Wisconsin delegates to the Valley
came, saw and were conquered.
They were favorably impressed with
the section, according to reports.

The river is rapidly falling here,
and the flood is definitely past. It
is thought that there will be no
more flood periods in the Valley for
many months — but then, one can t
always tell what the Rio Grande
will do. However, henvy rains in
the section drained by the river are
not anticipated for several months,
and melting snows will not be emp
tying waters into the river, so there
is really nothing to cause a rise.
As for the rain — We don t say
"It ain’t gonna rain no more'* but
we will say that “It shouldn’t ough
ta rain no more’’ and let it go at
that.
Heavy rains in any of the next
three months will be an unusual
cccurance, and an inspection of the
weather bureau's files discloses very
few instances of this in the past.
• • •
When the port finally becomes a
reality, with ships coming in to our
front door dumping mercnandise on
the steps, and everyone prosperous
and happy, one thing is to be fear
ed. Will the Valley lose its pictur
esqueness and become too commer
cial minded. This would be sad.
I V d will become too valuable to
waskj in flowers and trees and grass.
Everyone will be shekel-conscious
and sell, sell, sell.
Before that occurs, wrhy not turn
the Rabb Palm Grove into a Vailey
park? It is a natural beauty spot,
containing the largest natural palm
grove in North America. Why not
presene it for posterity? Care for
it. let it be a retreat from the bustle
and rush of business. Few sections
have such a beauty spot so close to
a metropolis. And Brownsville will
b* doubtless, a metropolis.

irreconcilable, “you’ll forget all

So she spoke out of her rather
pitiful knowledge of life, to try to
patch up her own broken heart.
“It Isn't true Judy; I shall never

Judy said nothing. They paced
