A Causeway At Port Isabel
For yean the Valley la general and Port Isabel in
particular have hoped for a causeway connecting the
mainland with Padre Island.
Advantages of such a causeway are numerous and
well realised by the entire Valley section.
The rub has been, as Is usually the case in such
matters, the matter of financing the construction. At
various times It has appeared that individuals or cor
porations had succeeded In malting the grade, and
that actual construction of the causeway was assured.
But soonar or later all plans have failed, and the
eauseway u still very much on paper.
Latest move for Its construction, the sponsorship
of the proposal by the city of Port Isabel, would ap
pear to be a most sensible proposal, one that should
bring about success in the undertaking, If there is
any possibility at all of getting the causeway.
Mayor George Scanlan and his city officials may
ba sure that the Valley at large will do what it can
do to help further the undertaking. Probably the
support that can be given by the Valley will of neces
sity be mostly of the “moral" kind, but such as It Is
and for the good It will do, Port Isabel may be as
sured that the Valley * help Is available when called
for.
We all want to get to Padre Island and we are all
willing to do what we can to further our own in
terests
To Make Highways Safer
The powers that be in charge of our highways can
perform one notable service towards making travel
safer, and a servlet that will not prove expensive.
Just a little black paint spread down the center
of Cameron county's concrete roads and some white
paint down the center of the rock asphalt topped
roads of Hidalgo county would work miracles.
Let automobile drivers see their half of the road
plainly marked and their night driving will be made
easier and safer.
The Rangerville Road
After having been the bone of contention In sev
eral political campaigns of the past, the Rangerville
road seems to be no nearer actual building operations
than It was when Cameron county first considered
the voting of Its $6,000,000 road bond Issue.
In justice to the people of that territory who have
suffered perhaps too patiently, it is respectfully sug
gested that every effort be made to see to It that
this road be built out of the first state or federal
funds made available to Cameron county.
Common justice demands the road.
Port Activities
As the Dredges Orleans and Texas slowly but sure
ly make their way to the site of the Brownsville
turning basin, It becomes apparent that Brownsville
Is really and honestly to become a port city.
Activity at the turning basin site will really hum
shortly, now that bids on the port terminal facilities
have been opened and the contract Is about to be
awarded.
We may expect that business in Brownsville will
shortly show a decided upward trend as we are able
to see with our own eyes the actual physical mani
festations of the Brownsville port.
Punishing Mother
Away back to 1794 the legislators of Pennsylvania
passed a law providing fines or Jail sentences for per
sons found guilty of using profanity.
Trials and convictions under this ancient statute
are rare, but the law Is still on the books; and a few
days ago a Pennsylvania woman was haled before
a Justice of the peace In the town of Trevorton and
sent to Jail for 13 hours after pleading guilty to a
violation of the law.
Now the interesting thing about this revival of an
old blue law is the fact that the complaint aganist
this woman was brought by her own daughter. The
fact that Pennsylvania keeps the law on its books is
odd enough; but odder yet is the fact that there is
to existence a woman whose conception of her duty
is so twisted that she would have the law applied
against her own mother.
Child Needs Special
Care in Summer
m ■■■... ...
By DR. MORRIS FISHBELN
Editor, Joarnal of Um American Medical AaodkUoa
and of the Health Macazlne
Babies feel the heat more than do grown-ups. In
the first place, the child's heat regulating apparatus
Is not as well developed as that of the adult. Be
sides children are more active than are grown peo
ple, and so they generate more heat.
Bummer, therefore, brings about special child prob
lems which demand careful consideration by every
mother.
Every child should have a bath each day. If the
bath Is given In the morning, a lukewarm sponge
may be given again In the afternoon. If the child
complains of irritation of the skin, It may also be
given a sponge before It Is put to bed for the night.
During the summer clothing should be light as pos
sible. Food must be watched for evidence of spoil
age. and milk must be kept cold a tall times.
• • •
If Ice is not available the milk bottles should be
wrapped in a damp cloth and put in water on a
shady window ledge. The water will evaporate from
the cloth and this will serve to keep the milk cold.
If there is any question at all about the safety of
the milk, It should be boiled.
Insects are a nuisance and can cause a good deal of
irritation to the child. They should be prevented
from coming in contact with the child by the use of
mosquito netting and screening.
Everyone knows now that sunshine is of greatest
importance for the child. Therefore sun bathing has
come into vogue. However, overexposure to the sun
may be harmful.
The sunbaths may begin when the child is quite
young—perhaps at the end of the second month.
The child should be exposed for Just a few minutes
at first and then as the skin becomes somewhat used
to the rays of the sun, the length of the exposure may
be Increased.
‘ Like good toast * says one doctor, "you brown
them but never burn them.”
• • •
After the baby has had its bath, it may be placed
on a blanket or in a bed near an open window so
that the sun will fall directly on its body. The eyes
should be protected.
At first an exposure of one minute on the chest
and one minute on the back is recommended. This
time may be lengthened by one-half minute for
each side of the body every day.
If the sunbaths are started in winter, the exposure
is made in a different manner. First Just the legs to
the knees are exposed for five minutes. Later the
thighs may be exposed and still later the rest of
the body.
Sunlight which passes through ordinary win
dow glass does not contain the beneficial ultraviolet
raj's. Therefore, in sunbathing the sun’s rays should
reach the child without Interference.
Apart from certain ereat coastal ports of entry, the
cities of the United States are children of American
industry—Newton D. Baker.
The Townsend plan won’t work. Wall Street would
have the entire “revolving pension fund" before a
year was out. — Upton Sinclair.
Now look at me. I’m not bragging when I say I
run the show in Kansas City. I am boss. — Thomas
J. Pendergast. Democratic boss of Kansas City.
SO THEY SAY —
The government doesn’t owe me anything. — Fred
Killer" Burke, lifer at Marquette Prison. Michigan.
Well, vacations are more or less of a luxury, anyway.
— Senator William E. Borah.

WASHINGTON
By Ray Tucker
Skill — President Roosevelt has
confided to friends that he is hear
tily satisfied with the accomplish
ments of this closing session of con
gress. Despite delays and differences
he obtained almost everything he
wanted and the framework of the
New Deal assumes final shape. He
will dedicate the structure publicly
in good time.
Congress has left mors arguments
and disagreements In its wake.
Nevertheless, on close view it has
been one of the most historic and
productive in modem times. Mr
Roosevelt's Inner circle quietly hall
three new laws as the New Deal's
finest achievements — the social
security bill, the social taxation
measure and the Wagner labor dis
putes act.
Even opponents concede the skill
of the president's handling of the
legislators. His "compromises” turn
ed out to be triumphs complete or
partial. In thirty months he has
suffered few major defeats, and these
involved issues on which most chief
executives lose — foreign and vet
u a ns' affairs. Congress spanked him
on the world court, the St. Lawrence
treaty and veterans economies.
• • •
Explosion — This congress — with
tiie help of the supreme court — hsa
definitely crystallized the political
lines for the 1936 presidential elec
tion. Mr. Rooeevelt has swung more
sharply to the ieft than even his
closest advisers anticipated.
New Dealers recognize that they
have alienated powerful business,
industrial and financial interests—
which means the northeastern sec
tion of the political map. But they
console themselves with the thought
that they have gained the support
cf the working man. people on relief
and the farmer. Whereas the poli
ticos welcome this alignment, -the
legislators are not completely happy
over the outlook.
Reading their mall, they look for a
1936 campaign of an economic bit
terness not equalled since the
Bryan-McKinley contest of 1896.
"It will be a battle between the haves
and the have-nots." said an especi
ally shrewd member who dreads the
emotional explosion Just around the
corner.

African — Henry Fountain Ashurst
of Arizona is the most ornate orator
In the senate, with the possible ex
ception of J. Hamilton Lewis of Illi
nois. But recently the Arizonian
demonstrated that a flowery, old
fashioned style can serve as a legis
lative weapon.
For years the circuit Judges at
New Orleans have begged congress to
relieve them of the necessity of hodl
ing court at Atlanta. Montgomery
and Fort Worth. Huey Long framed
a measure which granted their plea.
But the six senators from the three
states affected organized to block
its passage Vice-President Gamer
was nipped off and he agreed to help
them out.
Then Chairman Ashurst of the
judiciary committee tried hit touch.
He drew a measure which provided
for a nernurent sitting in New Or
leans. but he concealed the real pur- j
pose in circumlocuitous language
Without realizing It Mr. Gamer gav
elled it through to passage. But it'
wen t get through the house if he
can help it.
Stopper — TV A-era complain bit- >
terly but whlsperingly that Comp
troller General McCarl's men are
sabotaging their experiment in the
Tennessee basin. They say that the
accountants he has assigned to the
project waste millions by squeesing
pennies.
It was Mr McCarl whose report
criticizing expenditures furnished
anti-TV A ammunition to Senator
Austin of Vermont a few months ago
The GOP senator’s revelations on
the floor almost blocked the move !
to shore up this experiment. How
the report fell into senatorial handf
before TVA's managers were given a
chance to answer it has never been
explained, but Mr. McCarl is still
suspect.
But the TV A amendments put the
Comptroller General In his place.
Hereafter he can’t publicize flnanci- i
al faults without affording the dam-!
builders an opportunity to answrer
and explain The new provision was
written by Senator Norris, who gave
Mr. McCarl his start at Washington
many years ago. But there is no
love lost on this subject between the
senator and his former secretary.

"Ton'd hear from see soon."
He arose and walked toward her.

Jo thonght, a friendly smile. "I'm

Perhaps the president thought this
was a delicate way to warn the pri
vate utilities that he wants their
scalps. But he was really making
up for ft blunder of his own. though
he was unconscious of it at the time.
Danville had agreed to borrow PWA
funds at ft time when the government
gave only 30 per cent of the total coat
and loaned 70 per cent. But on the
day that Danville voted on issuing
bonds for the project, Mr. Roosevelt
announced the new arrangement for
grants of 45 per cent. Naturally the
voters defeated the less favorable
proposition.
Stubborn Harold Ickee refused to
extend the more generous terms to
Danville. He tried to force the city
to go through with the original bar
gain. But the president sided with
Allotters LaOuardia and Morris L.
Cooke, who argued that the lekes
position was unfair.

Orphan — If Senator Pope of
Ida?- j runs into a chilly reception at
our European embassies and lega
tions during his present trip abroad,
he will have only himself to blame.
Mr. Pope's office on Capitol Hill
unfortunately gave out the Impres
sion that he was visiting London.
Paris and Rome as an unofficial ob
server for the administration.
Whereupon such foreign experts as
Joe Robinson and Key Pittman,
chairman of the Senate Foreign Re
lations committee, got in touch with
the White House, They wanted to
know why such an honor fell to a
newcomer.
There issued a polite disclaimer
that the senator was representing
:he president on the trip. And the
state department has quietly noti
ced its foreign representatives that
Mr. Pope represents nobody, but
h.mself so far as it knows. Another
who would like to ascertain the Pope
purpose is Colleague Borah, who
can't forget that he was Mr. Pitt
man’s predecessor as the senate's
expert on Europe.
