ROADS TO MEXICO
Almost coincident with the announce
ment that T. L. Evans, manager of the
foreign and domestic trade departments
of the Houston Chamber of Commerce,
will again interview Mexican officials in
Mexico City relative to the immediate
construction of the Matamoros-Victoria
Highway, comes the announcement that
assurances have been given that imme
diate work will begin to make the Rey
nosa-Monterrey highway an all-weather
road.
Conferring with Nuevo Leon officials
in Monterrey, a joint McAllen-Reynosa
committee was informed that the work
to be started would include paving to a
point 30 miles east of Monterrey; gravel
ling of the road to the San Juan river; a
bridge over the Santa Catarina and grad
ing and culverts on the road east of the
San Juan to the State of Tamaulipas line.
What the completion of the road from
Reynosa to Monterrey will mean to Val
leyites and Valley visitors who desire to
go to Monterrey, and we all do, may
easily be seen by a comparison of dis
tances. By way of Laredo the distance
from McAllen to Monterrey is roughly
800 miles. By way of Reynosa the dis
tance is roughly 175 miles 1
There can be no doubt but that literally
thousands of residents of the Valley and
hundreds of our winter visitors would visit
Monterrey were it a matter of a round
trip drive of 350 miles against the present
600 mile journey. The present road is pas
sable, but no one who has made the trip by
automobile from Reynbsa to Monterrey
would advise taking it against the paved
Laredo route, no matter if there is a one
way difference of 125 miles in distance.
When the work outlined by the Nuevo
Leon officials is completed there will be
but 21 miles between Reynosa and Mon
terrey impassable in any sort of weather,
and when the remainder of the road is
built it is a foregone conclusion that the
State of Tamaulipas will either pave or
gravel that small stretch.
Residents of the American side of the
Rio Grande have done and may continue
to do a great deal of effective work on
the construction of the Monterrey and the
Victoria highways. By showing our in
terest in these roads we are showing the
proper Mexican officials that traffic will
follow these roads, when they are built,
and we are also showing them that the
greater part of this traffic will be “new”
traffic, bringing new money into Mexico.
Incidentally of course, when the Valley
secures, when Mexico secures, these new
highways, we know that a great amount
of new traffic will be diverted into the
Valley as it travels toward Mexico.
All Valley interests will do well tp boost
to their Mexican friends the good busi
ness of building the roads to Monterrey
and to Victoria.

Much Disease Spread
By Infected Rats
By DR MORRIS PISHBEIN
Editor. Journal of the American Medical Association,
and of Hygeia. the Health Magazine
The rat U responsible for the spreading of much
disease. It is noted particularly for its danger in
connection with plague. A rat eats anything that It
can get. and if it is hungry enough it will eat its own
young or members of its own tribe.
Rats carry not only plague, however, but also
typhus through the fleas and lice which live on'the
rats. They carry trench fever, infectious Jaundice,
rat-bile fever, foot and mouth disease and perhaps
certain forms of animal Influenza.
When they are hungry, rats will attack human
beings and large animals. In a large circus three
elephants had to be killed because the rats had
gnawed their feet. Rats have started many fires by
chewing matches. In years of famine they make the
famine worse by eating crops.
Rats breed rapidly. It has been estimated that one
rat will do at least $2.50 worth of damage a year, and
that rats cost England about $75,000,000 annually.
Hotel managers estimate that rats cost them at least
$5 a year each. And in the United States they cost
about $3.25 a year a person, or a total of more than
$400,000,000.
m m m
The battle between man and rata Is unending. If
they were not kept under control, the rats would soon
destroy human civilization entirely. One of the most
potent ways in which the rat attacks mankind is by
aiding in perpetuating the infectious agents of
plague and typhus fever.
Typhus fever must not be confued with typhoid. It
Is an Infectious condition with a skin rash and a
high fever, which usually tends to terminate at the
end of the second week with either recovery or the
death of the patient. Typhoid fever is long con
tinued. and is caused by a germ taken into the body
with infected food or water.
Typhus invariably is spread by the body louse.
• • •
Plague is spread not only by rats, but also by
squirrels and similar rodent*. From the rat. the In
fected flea carries plague germs to other rodents.
Two varieties of rat are chiefly concerned in the
spread of plague—the brown rat, which Is the large,
fierce sewer rat. and the black rat. which Is the
smaller domestic type living near man and near
small stores of food. The finding of dead rats is al
ways occasion for suspicion of disease.
The milder forms of typhus fever seen In large
cities are slightly different from the malignant types.
Some years ago cases seen in New York by a phy
sician named Brill were recognized as typhus fever
imported from Eastern Europe. This type is called
Brill’s disease.
I am surprised at Mr. (aJ) Smith. He has forsak
en the brown derby of democracy for the high hat
of puritanism.—The Rev. Dr. Charles Francis Potter
of New York.
No woman during my lifetime, however qualified,
will be nominated, much less elected, president of the
United States.—Judge Florence Allen, U. S. appellate
court.

(Central Pres* Stiff Writer)
NEW YORK. Feb. 26. — Appeal
procedure in New Jersey In the
Hauptmann case is as follows:
(1) Appeal to the court of errors
and appeals.
(2) In event of failure there, ap
peal could be made to the court of
pardons The court of pardons Is
composed of eight members. The
governor is a member of that court,
but decisions of the court are not
effective unless the governor votes
with the majority.
Members of the court of pardons,
besides Gov. Harold G. Hoffmann,
are: Chancellor Luther A. Campbell,
head of the court of chancery,
highest Judicial office In the state;
George Van Busklrk. a builder, of
Hackensack; Henry T. Kays, an at
torney. of Newton; Walter L Hep
field, Jr., an attorney of Plainfield,
and Joseph A. Dear, publisher of
the Jersey Journal, of Jersey City.
There is one vacancy, due to the
resignation of William L Dill, to
run, unsuccessfully, for governor.
Lay members of the court are
appointed by the governor for six
year terms, with confirmation by
the state senate.

Cart Before Horse
Financial New York is not Im
pressed with the statements of
newspaper writers that the U. S.
Supreme Court gold decision means
"full speed ahead for business."
The decision had an Immediate
speculative value, but business and
employment are based on some
thing more substantial than specu
lation.
The fundamentals of business
continue to rest on free movements
of trade and money and sound
money, financial- New York con
tinues to assert. Barriers to trade
and exchange still stand in the
way, and apart from that there
lies the uncertainty of a money
policy.
Liberal economists add that, aim,
prior to any real business recovery,
there will have to be a broader
spread of buying power—a wider
distribution of the welath produced
bv labor.
• • ■
Shipbuilding
Construction of warships and
merchant vessels built with govern
ment subsidy in private yards may
be forbidden br contress—if the
senate munitions investigating com
mittee has its way. Adm!«<lon bv a
shipbuilding company that it made
35 per cent profit on two warships
was a damaging blow to the navy.
The admission also struck the
administration In a vital spotr—since
approximately 400 millions of public
works money had been allocated to
warships construction.
Senators are not overly sanguine,
however, that naval yards will
better private yards—unless the
navy construction bureau is shaken
up.

Liberty
George Washington's era was
prolific of splendid assertions con
cerning liberty, a correspondent
points out.
One of the greatest comments
was made in 1784 by Edmund
Eurke; "The people never give up
their liberties but under some de
lusion."
And shall this spoken by John
Curran In Dublin In 1808 ever die?
"Eternal vigilance Is the price of
liberty.’ Curran's first version, in
1790. was this: "The condition upon
which God hath given liberty to
man Is eternal vigilance ”
And Benjamin Franklin wrote:
“Those who would give up essen
tial liberty to purchase a little
temporary safety deserve neither
liberty nor safety.”
But the most famous of all "lib
erty" expressions was made by
Patrick Henry. In March, 1775:
"Give me liberty or give me death."
France has become the second
largest producer of motorcyles.
ranking next to Great Br.taln and
being followed by Germany and

Objection—The other day a bill
came up in the house under unani
mous consent to Add a sixth judge
to the District of Columbia Court of
Appeals. Rep. Tom Blanton, of Tex
as. a veteran objector, raised bis
voice in protest and the bill went
over.
There is news behind the news on

Readjustment of the Federal
Communications Comm is Isons per

Setup—The congressional grape
vine says that Judge Eugene dynes,
{cnairnun ol the Communications
Jcnuxussion. will get the Judgeship
a hen and if the bill passes.
Sykes recently was confirmed by
.he senate lor a 7-year term on the
communications body alter Senator
The Man” Bilbo, ol Mississippi, had
lorced a hearing on his litness lor
'olfice. Sykes also is from Mississippi
and Bilbo opined as how the radio
chairman worked in the 1934 pri
mary campaign .or the reelection of
Senator Stephens—whom "The Man
defeated.
Meanwhile Arming S. Prall of New
York took an appointment on the
Communications Commission and
passed up the opportunity to run
lor reelection to his seat in the
bouse. As a gesture of congressional
courtesy to a former member Prall’a
nomination was confirmed while the
others were held up. It is reported
Prall will become chairman ol the
ommiasion ag soon as Sykes moves
up and out.

Custom—The District ol Columbia
Court ol Appeals is the -supreme

this court. One is in ill health. The

party.
In the course of getting President
Roosevelt nominated and elected,

nearly two years. Farley necessarily
lias trod on a lot ol toes. Many ol
hose which ache, whether with
ciuie or not. are now trotting to
Senator Long with the urge to pour

Big Jim's idea has been to Ignore
he Louisiana Kinglish but he will
iave trouble doing it. Debate is un
united and the law ol libel does not
run on the senate floor. Huey plans

Mr. Roosevelt In this connection
I house of early Texas days was IB
I feet wide and 20 feet long, with a
i large upper floor under the roof.
The builder would first lay two large
logs. 16 feet long, with ends notched
about one-third of their diameter,
20 feet apart. Two logs of corre
sponding siee and 20 feet length, with
ends notched above and below, would
then be laid on the first pair, so that
the lower notches would dovetail.
Ordinarily, they thus provided about
three feet underfloor space. Slen
der logs of 16 foot length would then
be laid at regular Intervals from one
20 foot log to the other to support
the floor, which was made of wood
slabs and c&lled puncheons t split
logs the faces of which had been
smoothed with an axe or hatchet).
Recommencing the first process of
notching and fitting, the walla would
be built up about seven feet from
the floor, and there another row of
slender logs would be laid to form the
ceiling of the lower room and the
floor of the upper room. From there,
three or four courses of logs com
pleted the body. Next, there would
be set up at each end of the house
a stout tree, about six feet tall, trim
med to two short diverging top limbs,
to support the ridge pole. Wide
slabs of wood formed The roof. They
were placed on the topmost tier of
side logs with their upper ends rest
ing on and fastened to the ridge pole.
These roof slabs were kept in place
by large logs laid over them and
made secure with heavy wooden pins,
door and window openings were saw
ed out. Wall cracks were filled with
mud c. a mixture of mud and Span
ish moas. Window panes were often
made of paper covered with hog

“there's nothing wrong."
"Oh. but there isl There must

I could come to see you. Don't
you remember? Sunday—"
“1 waa tired." Gale put In
quickly. She didn’t want blm to
go on. didn't want to be reminded
of that Sunday afternoon “1 Jusi
didn’t want to see anyone "
“You re sure It wasn’t any
thing more than tbat?"
"Yea. I’m sure."
"Then you’ll let me come to
night?"
Gale shook ber head. “No,”
she said. “Not tonight."
“But Gale—"
"I’m—l‘m not going to be home
tonight." the girl went on quickly
“l‘m sorry, but you mustn't
come."
"Tomorrow?"
"I don’t tblnk you’d better
come tomorrow, either."
“Gale!" Brian’s band waa on
ber arm. “There la something
wrong I Something you haven't
told me. What la It?"
“Nothing."
“But that’s not true—I mean
It can't be! Wby won’t you tell

“How do you know that? How
do you know what I’m really

“1 do know It. 1 know you're
not being yourself. I wish you'd

“1 haven't changed." ebe told

After all. you can’t Judge a per

CHE couldn’t stand much more i
^ of this. She eouldn’t go on
listening to Brian talking as
though she were the one at fault. <
pretending things were Just as
they bed been between them. She
said, surprising herself:
"You keep talking about Sun
day. Don't you think you'd better
forget about thatT”
"Do you want to forget It?"
"Yes. Yes. 1 do. When a girl’s
engaged to marry a man—"
"Obi" Brian’s exclamation was
sharp. Ho stared down at aer
"Why didn't you tell me that be
fore? Why didn’t you say you
were engaged?"
That startled her. It wasn’t
what she had meant, but It didn't
make any difference now. Oale
was glad Brian thought that. Sbe
said. "Why should I have told
you?"
"But I thought—"
She went on recklessly. "Tee.
I’m engaged. I'm — I'm going to
be married before long. In June
June weddings are nicest, don't
you think?" *
It wasn’t exactly a falsehood,
sbe assured herself. Steve bad
asked her to marry him; sbe
could be engaged to Steve to
night. If sbe wanted to be. They
could be married In June. too.
The same month Brian and Vicky
Thatcher were to be married.
Oale was glad ehe had said It.
Brian needn't think he eould
carry on a flirtation, persuade
her to care for him and then
leave her. broken-hearted. She'd
show him bow little sbe eared!
Two could play at flirtation—and
•he’d prove it.
Brian didn't say anything for
a moment He stood there, hts
eyes searching ners. Then he
said slowly. *T—1 gases 1 eras
mistaken—shoot the whole thing.
Yoa’ll let me wish yon ovary
happiness?**
“Thank yon."
“Of coarse, now that I know
how It la. I see why you wonida t
want me banging aroand. I'm
sorry If 1 bothered you—“
“It doesn’t matter," Gale told
him.
Ob. bat It did matter ter
rifically! She couldn't stand there'
another moment. She pot one
band to her cheek, poshing a
wisp of hair beneath her bat
brim.
“I’ve got to get home,** she
said, “but I want to wish you
happiness, too. I hope yoa’ll be
very happy—and I'm sore yon re
going to be. Good night."
Brian stood in the center of
the sidewalk, watching as she
hurried down the street.
