WHILE the pendulum, swinging to
W and fro in the count of scions
f f returned to Washington, had not
settled whether the democrats or
republicans would have a majority.
John Gamer down at Uvalde de
clared the demos stand ready to
help Hoover bring the country back
to a more prosperous condition.
“There will be nont of this busi
ness of trying to turn the govern
ment topsy-turvy. The tariff is not
to be flown into like a hen picking
on some one else’s chickens. But
the power companies, which have a
hold on the nations vttals, will be
taken to task.” the Texas veteran
declared.
Garner is a scrappy representa
tive and if he has something up his
sleeve for the power companies and
opens fire, he will probably make
them sit up and take notice. The
Texan has long been known among
the newspaper men as the most pow
erful man on capltol hill. Gamer
has often spoken out to them when
ethers seemed afraid to speak. It
m now looks as if President Hoover

Brownsville tendered a banquet
to Governor Francisco Castellanos
last night in Matamoros.
An urgent Invitation was extend
ed Castellanos to cross the river to
day into Brownsville. In fact R. B
Creager told in the invitation that
he is expected. The governor an
swered that he hoped he would but
that he had so many engagements
on the other side he was not sure.
It is said the visiting governor has
been strictly business since his ar
rival. Yesterday he sat long with
representatives of the Matamoros
Chamber of Commerce, and answer
ed questions directly and definitely.
Many of his answers portend civic
development for the border city.
Taxation changes constitute one

Castellanos.

OVERHEARD a litle bit of an ob

It went something like this:
“An American practices in one
generation with his money what In
Mexico is practiced in three. It takes
one generation in Mexico to amass
a fortune, the second generation to
work to save it, and the third to
^apend it.
" “In America they do It all in one
life. A man makes his fortune when
he is young, nurses it to maturity
during middle life, and spends it
when he is old.’’ How about it?

Hiccoughs One Year and Dies
MT. CLEMENS. Mich.. Nov. 7.—
—The best minds of the medical
profession and the volunteer aid of
Hundreds of persons who offeree
home remedies, failed to save Vir
ginia Mae Coppins, 19-year-old
high school girl, who is dead here
of the hiccoughs after more than a
year of suffering from the mal^idy.
In September. 1929. she was
seized with her first attack while
in a Detroit hospital for an opera
tion. The malady apparently was
checked after 53 days of almost
constant hiccoughing. During one
of her attacks in succeeding months
he was visited by thousands of
physicians who were in Detroit to
attend the national convention of
the American Medical Association.
Her case was studied by no less than
5.000 medical men.
•Four weeks ago an attack began i
which lasted two weeks, and the
rttack which brought death yeeter |
, day began a week ago During her
final fight against the batfling
malady her temperature reached
1C7. with a pulse of 140 and respira
tion of 40.
The hiccoughing was caused by
a spasmodic contraction of the
diaphragm brought about through
the peculiar reaction of a nerve.
Phvsic.ans believed that an opera
tion might bring re'ief, but did not
perform one be use of the girls
generalv delica’c alth and a weak
heart which rndu. d inflamation of
the brain.
During the girl's illness, her
parents received hundreds of tele
grams and letters from persons who
offered “sure cures" ranging from
sudden fright to liberal dosage of
snuff, salt, sugar and raw clay. One
man came in a taxicab from Cleve
land to her home in cast Detroit
with a patent medicine he was cer
tain would cure her.

Brownsville partisans cave vent
to their pent-up feelines in a .swell
ing roar of spontaneous cheers as
the Scorpions raced onto Uie field,
led by "Wild William" Cab’er cap
tain for the day. The roar of wel
come began with a spoiatic velp at
the upper end of the field and
rapidly swept throughout the
stands. The radio announcer pull
ed his microphone closer in order
to be heard over the din.
Weather Ideal
Fan* conversed excitedly as the
band blared out favorite football
numbers while the teams snapiicd
through their stock of plays up
and down the field. Fhe weather
was almost ideal. A cool east win:!
swept across Tucker field and dull
gray clouds hung low. There was
a threat of a sprinkle in the air,
but the weather prognosticator
promised that the rain—if any—
would he light and intermittent.
The "Deserted Village" was a
populous center compared to the
Brownsville business district Al-j
most every business house closed j
its doors at 2 p. m. and the hired i
hands lost no time in hot footing
their way to the Tu-'ker field.
Scorpions I p To Strength
A stranger, not knowing the cir
cumstances. might have taken the:
city for a later day Tombstone.
The powerful Aggie contingent
arrived by train early Friday morn
ing and took a rest before game
time. Coach Higginbotham, whose
squad defeated the Browns v ill.
Screaming Eagles 6-0 here last
year, freely admitted that he had
a strong club. The 25 boys brought
here represent the cream of a squad
of 250 high school stars who went
out for the team thus season.
The Scorpions, who have run
rough shod over all opposition this
year, are up to full strength barring
several minor injuries.
