Texas Looms Large in Port T raf f ic A Washington correspondent ha* made ihs discov ery that Texas Gulf ports aclUeved their banner year m foreign commerce during 1929. That Is the 10 port cities of Te:;a:; reached the highest tonnage mart; since foreign shipping nrst became an important in dustry. According to the figures the 10 ports added nearly a million tons In shipment to the total for 1928 This gave Texas fourth place among all the . tates of the republic. Houston made the moet im portant gain, jumping from seventh to sixth port of the nation In total foreign commerce. All in all the Texes ports which advanced their 1928 positions are Port Arthur, Houston, Corpus Chrlsti, Freeport, Port Neches and S&btne. Oalveston held a light hold on 12th place while Beaumont. Texas City and •i Orange slipped a peg or two. Texas is moving fer * ward at a rapid rate. Its population should easily go to the fO.OOO.OOO mark in 1940. if constructive men are permitted to handle the affairs of the common wealth and the builder; and developers are not handicapped by demagogues ever pushing their own elfish programs. Mexican Crops Are Very Promising A Mexico City correspondent lor American news paper* writes glowingly of growing conditions in Mexico. First, that the Mexican government leaders are determined to re-establish fully the foreign credit of U'.cir nation upon the basis of the agreement re cently reached in New York. Second, in making larger appropriations for education, covering the foundation of many new schools each year, extending ^ educational facilities into the rural districts and im proving buildings and adding to teaching staffs with a special emphasis on manual training and business college forces. Third, a reduction in the volume and cost of the regular arms’ of Mexico. Fourth, interest and helpfulness on the part of the Rubio administra tion toward the development of agriculture. Crops in Mexico this year, according to experts, and particularly com and beans, will likely set a high- ( er record In quantity of production and in financial j returns to the farmers than has been the case for 30 years. To be exact the American correspondent says, ‘ Agriculture, extended and encouraged for a decade by government funds, is beginning to be self-sustaining” Modern Service for Motorists Extension of telegraph facility to motorists on the j highways of the nation by establishment of offices ui service stations of the Standard Oil group is an- f nouneed by the Postal Telegraph and Cable corpora- ' tlon Service will be inaugurated during the first week At October and will immediately increase the number fZf Postal offices throughout the United States to ap proximately 11.000 from 7500 by adding 3500 Standard Oil sendee stations to the Hat. 8ervlce will include the sending of cablegrams and radio messages to all narts of the world and radiograms to ships at sea in the good old days of the cattle trail highway a lightning express mule team could make it from Aus tin to Dallas in 10 days—“the weather permitting ’ Really the long-gone ox-cart civilization had its han dicap?. INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACE SOCIAL NOTES < Copyright, 1930, By The Associated Newspapers.) NEWPORT, R. I.—Colonel T. Whipping ham Merps and guests arc rolling heavily here in the colonel'! yacht Juniper III. As it is difficult enough for the colonel to keep on an even keel under normal con ditions he is u^der a particularly severe strain Just now. • • • • General and Mrs. Jocelyn Jay Crummett, of the Oyster Bay Crummeta, arrived today for the races aboard their new 60-footer, the Plying Artichoke. The ship was made from the general’s own designs, and the guests who endured the maiden trip now know he is crazy # • » m Another batch of guests rowed ashore for Pitching Patsy, the 50-foot cruiser owned by Mr. K. L. Gerald Fa ulkstone-Faulks tone, carrying their baggage with them. They were quite disgusted, alleging that for the second time Mr. Faulkstone-Faulkstone had fol lowed the wrong yachts out to sea and missed the Enterprise-Shamrock race entirely. • • • * The most indignant yachtsmen in the lurbor is Mr. Wingate X. Puddicorabe, the motion picture mogul, who came to the international races on an enormous houseboat especially chartered for the occasion and Is yet to see any mention of the fact in the news papers. His beat hasn't even been included In the list of arrivals. Mr. Puddicombe will wait one more day. for a little publicity and if it isn't forthcoming will take drastic measures and ram a committee boat or something. • * » • Colonel Humphreys W. Martingale left his iO-foot express cruiser EineJ «spelled backwards it is the name of an old flame of the colonels named Jennie' very hurriedly this morning in response to an unex pected visit by several uncouth looking persons in a motor launch. It seemed he was four months behind in the time payments. Some adjustment was evident ly made as the colonel still had the yacht at sunset. • * • * What to do about Mr. Waddingham McGann. who made millions in oil gushers quite, suddenly & few years ago. is a real problem. After leaving his 50 footer. the Ecofflaw Queen, to row around and sober up a bit after a wild party aboard the craft last night, he got slightly confused and returned to the wrong boat, the Gypsy's Curse IV. owned by one of the Van derbilts. The mistake was discovered when Mr. Mc Gann got up In the morning, went to Mrs. Vander bilts cabin, and shouted in a very disagreeable man ner, ■ Where ve you been all the time?” . • • • • A bottle thrown from one of the windows of the Dipping Daphne some time during the night went through a cabin window of the Wallowing Walrus, lacerating the scalp of its owner, Jasonsby Chulm stetters. who was extremely Indignant when he ex amined the bcttle and found It empty. • • • • A sailor was executed today at sunrise aboard Ma son P. Mintjuleps brand new *250.000 cruiser, the White Queen. It seems he had scratched a match on a cabin door. • "Elsie Janis Quits 8tare After 25 Years.”—head line. It must have been hypnotic. The Democrats of Connecticut have named a Yale dean for governor, and the Republicans are now said to be considering running Alble Booth. An enterprising publicity man has hit on the idea of distributing buttons with the Inscription ‘Busi ness Is Good.’’ And it would be pretty ironical if he found himself stuck with them. If a man builds a better mousetrap than any other man. the world will make a path to his door. And then raze the heuse and build a Tom Thumb golf course. Where, oh where is the sun tan of yesterday?
