A Safe and Sane Fourth
Once again the Valley territory may congratulate
itself on having parsed through a safe and sane
Fourth of Juiy. Early reports Friday w*.re to the ef
fect that not one fatality, not one serious accident
that could properly be blamed to the celebration of
the national holiday, had occurred.
And once more this section may thank its natural
resources for the safety of its children and its en
thusiastic parents who help the children celebrate
these events.
A trip to the beaches, to the lake resorts, to the
private picnic grounds gives the answer.
Probably more than 5,000 people enjoyed the hos
pitality of Boca Chica beach for all or part of Thurs
day. Fishing, bathing, and just good old fashioned
loafing In the sand furnish the best sort of amuse
ment to the crowds that dotted Brazos Island from
early morn to late at night.
The Jetties were swarming with fishermen, big and
little, and all reported some sort of good luck, the
proverbial “fisherman's luck’ being conspicuous by
its ab Vnce.
In casting up the assets of the Valley, never fall to
Include near the top of the list the beaches, the
lakes, the nearby resorts that enable us to play with
safety.
Livestock at Large
Brownsville residents have heard plenty during the
past two weeks regarding livestock within the city
limits.
^stifled complaints regarding the manner In
which horses, cows and other four footed species
either run at large or are tethered to the discomfort
of neighbors have been made.
The city commission hit a happy solution of the
question by proposing strict enforcement of an ex
isting ordinance which specifically prohibits the
tethering of livestock In city alleys and which
makes other provisions for the rights and comforts
of all concerned.
A little more care and caution on the part of
children, a few wisely delivered parental hints, and
the question would seem to be settled.
Zeppelins Fly On
A cable from Amsterdam announces that Zep
pelins soon may replace steamships as the principal
means of communication between Holland and the
Dutch East Indies.
The chief steamship line, it seems, has been run
ning at a substantial loss. Dirigibles, the steamship
directors feel, could cover the distance between Am
sterdam and Java in far less time and could convert
this loss into profit.
Plans are said to be under may for buying a fleet
of them from the Zeppelin people to be placed in reg
ular service under Dutch control.
All this has a strange sound to an American pub
lic disillusioned by the loss of the Akron and Macon
But the Dutch are reported to feel that the Germans
know Just enough more than we do about building
giant airships to make them safe and reliable.

Sensitivity to Foods
May Cause Migraine
By OR. MORRIS flSBBKlM
Editor. Journal of Um Iwrt— Modtea! AmdUka
and of Bygukk Um Boaltk Mmiki
More than 75 year* ago a famous French doctor
observed that the type of sick headache called mi
graine is. like certain cases of asthma and eesema,
associated with sensitivity to certain food substances.
More recently, since means have been found for test
ing out such sensitivities scientifically, this Impres
sion has been confirmed.
Moreover. It has been established that in some
esses it is possible to free s person from these head
aches by finding the substance to which be Is sen
sitive and eliminating that substance from the diet.
Of course, there are some cases of sick headache
which are not definitely of this type but which may
be related to nervous disturbances or to disturbances
of various organs within the body.
As a rule, when the headache Is due to a sensitivity,
the pain begins in or near one eye and spreads over
one side of the head. Occasionally also It passes
around to the back of the head.
• • •
The beginning of the headache may be associated
with confusion and forgetfulness, with sweating or
flushing of the tissues, with a feeling of numbnesa
In the tongue, the lips, or the nose. Occasionally
also there may be a feeling of nausea, the eyelids
may become puffy, and canker sores may break out
in the mouth.
All of these symptoms are known to be Indica
tions that a disturbance of the body Is about to take
place, and may be a warning to the patient that the
sick headache is coming on.
It has also been found that excessive fatigue,
worry , excitement or constipation may Initiate the
symptoms or intensify them, and It Is certainly ad
visable for people who have sick headaches to avoid
this series of associated factors.
People generally have observed that sick head
aches are likely to run in families, and the studies
of investigators have shown that a considerable per
centage of people whose parents have migraine may
have migraine also.
• • •
Equally Interesting is the fact that a good many
relatives of the person who has this sort of migraine
will have some of the other conditions that are due
to sensitivity, such as asthma, hay fever, or skin
eruptions.
When a study Is made of the foods that are most
frequently responsible for sick headaches of this
type, we find the foods to be the same as those
which most people report as being distressful. Those
which lead the list are chocolate, onions, cabbage,
cucumbers, apples, pork, and melons.
However, there is hardly a single food to which
some person cannot report himself sensitive.
It is interesting to realize that the individual's
own observations as to the foods which cause him
trouble are likely to be Just as valuable as the skin
tests which are made by the physician. In 50 per
cent of cases, the skin test did not Indicate, where
as the patient's own observation was able to select
the food causing the trouble.

NEW YORK
By James McMuIlin
Harvest — The third extension of
the coal strike truce at the last min
uite revealed two elements in the
slatuation that are worth watching.
One is the evidence of serious fric
tion between John L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers and Secretary
of Labor Frances Perkins. Organ
ised labor has never forgiven the
Perkins appointment. For diplo
matic reasons both sides have tried
to cover up the mutual antagonism
—but the veil is wearing thin. Here
was s major strike definitely adver
tised for July 1 and yet the obvious
government intermediary did no
thing to head it off until the strike
order was already on the wires.
Labor leaders frankly regard Miss
Perkins as a glorified social worker
and their antipathy to dealing with
her when it can be avoided is likely
to breed more serious complications
in the future. It so happened that
Lewis was glad to have an excuse
to postpone the strike as long as
there’s still a chance for passage of
the Guffey bill. New York sharps
predict, that tests to come will find
labor in a less receptive mood.
Federation chiefs can't afford to
be too pacific with so much unrest in
the ranks. Add to that pressure a
deep antagonism for Labor Depart
ment policies and you have the
seeds for a disturbing harvest. Bill
Green needs to play with the ad
ministration for reasons of self-pres
ervation — but his hand may be
forced.
• • •
nearer — The second point un
defined by extension of the coal
truce was the great importance of
the Guffey bill. Representatives of
miners and operators have been go
ing through the motions of wage
conferences — but the negotiators
were well aware they were only
shadow boxing. If congress fails to
pass the bill this month the lid will
be off.
And there’s more at stake In the
Guffey measure than Just the fata of
the soft coal Industry. The bill has
led the White House “must list"
since June 15 but not a wheel has
turned to bring it closer to enact
ment This sort of thing fosters the
appetite of discontented laborites
for direct political action through a
third party Leading members of
the Progressive and Farm Labor
groups are Joining the right-wing
Socialists in a determined effort to
maneuver the Federation into a
united left-wing front.
John Lewis is understood to be
thorouphly fed up with the run
around he thinks hes been getting
He has shared the uew of other vet
eran labor leaders that the Federa
tion is stronger outside of politics—
but hes an able opportunist and
those who should know say he’s ca
pable of a sudden switch if he feels
sentiment in the ranks demands it
snd if he can’t get the legislation he
wants. In that case he might take
the play completely away from
Green—whom he is said to regard as
a bit fogeylsh — and lead organiz
ed labor down a new path which
could very well end up In a major
political realignment.

Chamber of Commerce Leader

WA8HINOTON, July 2. — Skep
tics who wonder II business, freed
from what Is considered the hobbles
of NRA, will do any better now
than '* did when equally free be
tween 1930 and 1932. meet no en
couragement from Harper 8ibley.
The new president of the U. 8.
Chamber of Commerce towers
from his more than 0 feet as he
replies:
"It's an unfair comparison. The
accomplishments of American busi
ness ought not to be judged by any
particular brief period.
"They must be judged by the re
cord of many years, during which
they have brought this country to
the highest living standards in the
world. The record of any brief and
abnormal period is an unfair and
absurd standard of judgment."
"Little Man" Represent*! In
Chamber Teday, Claim
Indignation Is not visible in this
soft reply Visible Indignation s no
part of the equipment of Harper
Sibley, whose personality bears the
marks of a background almost ex
actly like that of the president of
the United States — Groton and
Harvard.
But It comes near breaking out In
discussion of administration state
ments that the U. 8. Chamber does
not really represent American busi
ness.
"We have been steadily broad
ening our base of membership,
which has shown *a marked pickup
in recent years. We have field men
traveling the country, constantly
in touch with American business
men of all kinds. We know from
them what American business men
are thinking, and the rising tide of
disapproval of NRA has been quite
clear far a long time.
"There is nothing to the charge
that the chamber represents prin
cipally great accumulations of cap
ital. In the meetings of the nation
al chamber the small cities actual
ly outvote the large ones. Our av
erage member. I believe, comes
more nearly representing manage
ment and the small proprietor than
he does capital and big Industry.
Seek To Save Benefits Gained
Through NRA
“The first direct effect on our
organization of abandonment of
the codes s resumption if volunt
ary trade association work, which
we had been carrying on for years.
When NRA came along, the gov
enment codes of course supplanted
what we had been able to accom
plish In trade practice agreements.
Now we are resuming that work In
the expectation that many of the
advantages that came In with NRA
will be kept through voluntary
trade association agreements.
“Possibly the best and greatest
effect of the whole NRA experi
ment will prove to have been edu
cational. If there ever were very
many business men who felt at
liberty to conduct their businesses
without regard for anyone else,
competitor, employe or the public,
there certainly aren’t many now.

every business man. and the tech
nique and advantages of coopera
tion have been learned as never
before through the making of the
codes of fair competition under
NRA. It taught many men to get

On the point of leaving for
Paris to attend the meeting of the
International Chamber of Com
merce. Sibley pointed out that the
sweeping decisions of the U. 8.
Supreme Cotut in the Schechter
NRA and Prazler-Lemke cases left
the U. 8. Chamber scarcely more
sure of Its ground than labor or
other elements of the country.
The chamber has a committee
studying the decisions to determine
whether all the program of the
chamber Itself as recommended
shortly before the decisions, is now
to be considered constitutional.
Believes lamer Price* Vital
To Home Industries
While Sibley made a personal
appeal to the chamber members
to kc |> up NRA wage and hour
schedules and protect collective
bargaining, he believes there are
some Industries which must first
deflate somewhat. That la. he be
lieves there are some fields In
which grater production can only
be obtained by offering a cheaper
product so people can buy It. That,
he admits, might mean temporary
lower wages In that field until pro
duction rose, enabling wages to
rise again But he feels this situa
tion applies only In certain in
