ing been passed bv an almost
unanimous vote in the house. As
soon as the funds provided in this
appropriation, which is conceded an
easy passage in the senate, become
available the work will begin, Dancy
said.
Relief agencies of the various
Valley counties are expected to
cooperate bv helping to furnish la
bor necessary for the work. Dancy
said, assurances of this cooperation
having already been given.
Individuals may assist greatly In
helping to cut down mosquitoes by
taking proper precautionary meas
ures on their premises to eliminate
all possible breeding places, Dancy

Movie Sidelights
CAPITOL
In a screen play admirably suit
ed to their talents. Ann Harding
and Robert Montgomery- are again
seen together at the Capitol,
Brownsville. Wednesday and Thurs
day in Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer’s
“Biography of a Bachelor Girl,"
directed by E. H. Griffith.
This Is the first time this popu
lar team has been co-starred since
the outstanding hit from the same
studio. “When Ladies Meet.**
The new picture has all the charm
and appeal of the former one. all
the sophistication and bright
dialogue, with the addition of some
of the most breath taking outdoor
scenes ever flashed on a screen.
As Marion, sophisticate and art
ist, Miss Harding has never appear
ed in a more suitable role. And the
part of Kurt, hard-boiled young
editor, was surely made to order
for Montgomery.
The story treats humorously of
a worldly young woman trying to
decide, between the pleas of her
admirer and the threats of her ex
admirers, whether to write the
story of her life.
QUEEN
'.The Lemon Drop Kid,’’ shows
Thursday only at The Queen,
Brownsville.
With Lee Tracy In the title role,
and Helen Mack, William Fraw
ley and Minna Gombell heading
the suppotring cast, this new Pa
ramount picture is a lively, hu
morous and often dramatic story
of a fast talking, self-assured guy
who, following an unpleasant es
capade at the race track, is forced
to settle down to the quiet of a
small town.
This he attempts to do with
varied success until a charming
and unsophisticated girl tries to
reform him and make him take
a job at fifteen dollars a week. At
first the “Kid” rebels, but when
he discovers that his little "coun
try girl" means a great deal to
him. he resigns himself to his fate
and actually takes the job.
The “Kid" Is resourceful and
since work has never agreed with
him. he plans a counter plot of
his own with results that bring him
hi? greatest happiness and his deep
est sorrow. In "The Lemon Drop
Kid" you will find an expert blend
ing of comedy and drama that car
ries the picture along at a fast pace,
culminating in an unusual climax.
faced it in passage through the sen
ate with ‘only one dissenting vote.
The bill, proposed by the senate
crime Investigating oommittee. would
merge existing state police agencies
into a central bureau, designated a
state department of public safety. A
commission would decide policies.
The bill to appropriate funds for
a Texas Centennial commemora
tion next year was passed by the
house after a bitter fight for 13.
000.000. An additional $50,000 was
placed on It by the senate finance
committee, while a substitute propos
ed by Senator Frank Rawlings of
Fort Worth would increase the total
to $3,550,000.
Consideration of the bills oould
be delayed in either house, however,
if sponsors of constitutional amend
ments chose to force votes on pend
ing proposals. Presiding officers in
both branches have ruled the
amendments hold parliamentary
j priority.
Submission of prohibition repeal
was proposed in one passed by the
senate and pending on the house
calendar. As revised by s house com
mittee. it wmild submit the direct
question of repeal with regulation
left to the legislature. The senate,
however, voted to limit sales to
sealed packages, and to outlaw con
sumption on premises of sale.
An amendment to authorize legis
lative establishment of a teachers
retirement plan, sponsored by Sen
ator Clay Cotten of Palestine, was
pending in the senate. Several al
terations approved In two days of
debate tended to restrict the scope
of the propoeed pension. Proponente

to broaden it.
Should the house clear its docket
of senate bills .pending business
would be enactment of a drivers li
cense law, on which debate was
started Tuesday. Applicants for a li
cense would be required to pass an
examination, and those under 16
years would not be eligible. The fee
would be 25 cents.
Proponents obtained defeat of
numerous amendments, but 25 were
pending. An amendment adopted,
however, eliminated a section by

When Jim the watchman came through
I tackled him for a smoke.
"Sure,” says Jim, and he handed over
a back of Chesterfields. "Go ahead, Mr.

Jim said he’d smoked a lot of cigarettes
