A Real Labor Day Celebration
Starting with the Labor Day banquet Sunday
night and continuing through the Brownsville parade
on Monday, labor organizations of the Valley will be
Joined by Valley folk generally in celebrating Labor
Day. The holiday Is beginning lo take on a real holi
day note here in the Valley a* our development
brings us wore and more in contact with the indus
tries whose employes go to make up the labor unions
tinder whose auspices the day is generally observed.
The mere fact that we have today various Valley
labor organizations goes to show how great has been
cur development during the past few years.
Brownsville will join most heartily with labor, or
ganized and unorganized, in celebrating the day and
in extending best wishes for future prosperity.
May the day of oelebratlon be a success.
A hearty welcome awaits an organizations and In
dividuals who are coming to Brownsville for the day.
Pan-American Highway
A group of Valleyites Is slated to attend the an
nual meeting of the Pan-American Highway associa
tion to be held this month at Muskogee, Oklahoma,
and will seek, according to press reports, the desig
nation of this great International route through the
Valley.
Sympathizing most heartily with the Idea. The
Brownsville Herald seriously doubts the advisability
9f asking this designation at this time, believing that
tuch a request should wait until the construction of
either the Matamoroe-Victoria or the Reynosa-Mon
terrey highways.
To have this designation on all highway maps would
hurt, rather than help, as tourists to Mexico arrived
hi the Valley and found out what sort of roads await
them on the other side of the Rio Grande.
On the other hand, by boosting the desirability of
the two Mexican roads mentioned above, the Valley
group may do un immense amount of good and add
their bit to what is being done towards their con
struction.

Work* Progress Projects
Determined to get away from the grass and leaf
* raxing type of project, several Valley cities are show- j
ing a real discrimination In the sort of Works Prog
ress Administration projects for which they are
asking.
We have particularly in mind the sidewalk build
ing type of project being sponsored by McAllen, Ray- j
Buondville, Weslaco, and other Valley cities.
Sidewalks are a greatly needed facility in prac
tically all Valley cities, and the Works Progress proj
act gives the property owner the opportunity of im
proving his holdings at a decided cost discount.
Labor is furnished by the WPA, the property owner
paying for the cost of materials.
Beet of all. the sidewalks will remain for yean, a
permanent Improvement.
The people * seem to have money to gamble even
When they haven’t money for food—Maj. Lynn G
Adams, Pennsylvania state police head.

Green Fruit Shipments
Once more It Is the time of year for newspapers to
Issue their annual warning shipments of Im
mature fruit, even though that fruit may pass the
technical tests imposed by the “Green Fruit” law.
This desire of some of our growers and shippers to
beat the gun on citrus shipments has cost the Val
ley money every year. The practice has been in
veighed against by practically every newspaper, every
shipper and every grower, and yet it continues.
The Valley has a real chance this season to cash
In on its citrus crop. Circumspection is the more
required, that nothing ha done to spoil that chance,
and all will agree that nothing could be done to
more effectively hurt our market# than the ship
ment of green fruit.,
Let's be wise.
Relatives On Tour
The Kansas City, Kan., doctor who rounded up
25 of his wife's relatives, loaded them Into a big
green school bus. and set out for two weeks of sight
seeing. has shown the world something new In the
way of vacations.
The doctor Is so pleated with his experiment that
he is recommending it to others.
Probably there will be few to follow his example
To a great many people, two weeks spent with 25
relatives 1s not precisely the picture of rest and
recreation a vacation should bring.
But the doctor who dr vised the scheme liked It
and. after all, that is what vacation times is for—a
break in the routine, a chance to Indulge hobbies
ruled out by the usual workaday round, two weeks
out of 52 in which to do as one wishes.
Whether it's traveling about the country with
relatives, fishing for trout, or lolling on a beach
doesn't matter so long as the outing is the vacation
er's own idea of a good time. If it is, he will return
to work refreshed ana rested.
The vacation season is certainly a time for “ever'
man to his taste"—even to bus riding with relatives.
Body Dull and Flabby
When Thyroid Fails
By OR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association,
and of llygeia, the Health Magazine
Never let your body go to extremes. Too much, or
too little, both are unhealthy. And that is especially
true in the activity of the thyroid gland.
1 have already described the way in which over
secretion of the thyroid affects the system. Well,
undersell vity is just a& dangerous.
UnderacUvity of the thyroid is called myxedema
and cretinism. Under this condition, a person be
comes cold, flabby, slow and dull. His body is bloat
ed with fluid. The skin is dry and everything about
the system is torpid. The heart, also, becomes en
larged and flabby.
Persons suffering with this trouble. * can be sup
plied with the extra thyroid gland material that they
ought to have, and this can be given by mouth.
• • •
When the right amount is administered, the ef
fects are striking. In a few days the patient feels
warmer, and begins to be alert. He Is able to talk
more fluently and to move his muscles more ac
curately.
The fluid which makes his body soggy begins to
be excreted and the bloating disappears. His skin
becomes active. Sometimes the skin grows so fast
that these people practically shed some of It.
The hair, which has been brittle, becomes soft and
grows faster. Usually In two or three weeks the
patient tends to return to a normal appearance.
• • •
If, however, too much thyroid Is given, there Is an
aching and tenderness in the muscles, the heart
speeds up and there may actually be pain of the
type of angina pectoris. Cases have been reported in
which the heart has collapsed, due to an overdosage
of thyroid material.
It must be remembered that the heart has become
flabby and boggy, due to the material which accumu
lates as the result of the thyroid deficiency, and that
time must be allowed for the tissues to return to
normal before pressure is put on the damaged organ.
Officeholders swear to uphold the Constitution.
Ways are provided to atler the Constitution in the
correct way, not by sneaking up on It.—Col. Frank
Knox of Chicago.
If there should come a big pestilence and all the
women in the world should die, the men could get
along very well indeed without the women —The late
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Oilman, writer and lecturer.

WASHINGTON
By Hay Tucker
Blft—Oram«i.*;jy a cabinet mem
ber look* wise when a president
Issue* an order allecUng his ae
psrtmeni and pretend* to know all
lire answers. But the supposedly
shockproof Harold Ickcs makes lit
tle attempt to smother his chagrin
at Mx. Roosevelt's order abruptly
terminating PWA project*. Those
who have talked with him behind
the doors describe his attitude as
almost mutinous.
Mr. Ickes refers all inquiries to
Lht president. He pleads utter ig
norance when mayors and govei -
nors call by long-distance phone to
ask about projects which they are
siowly nurs.ng alone. Although he
doesn’t say so, he first learned about
the new formula of boon-doggling
out the money in the newspapers.
It was hatched by Mr. Roosevelt,
Harry Hopkins and Secretary Mor
gcnthau.
In fact, only five days befort the
“deadline” mandate was issued Mr.
Ickes piled his engineer, his legal
counsel and his publicist into a
plane for a southern trip to drum
up trade. They returned with re
quests for new projects totaling
more than $1.000 000.000, only to
:ind that Mr. Roosevelt had rung
down the curtain on their act.
They were struck by the boon
doggling order In mid-air—literal
ly. That’s the secret reason for
Haiold's soreness.
Moley—President Roosevelt's ora
torical testers rate his address to
the Young Democrats as pretty poor
on their charts. They said. In effect
tr.at “it was the voice of Roosevelt
(and a good one) but the hand of
Frankfurter." What they mean is
that Che Harvard professor, who has
tcer. living at the White House for
weeks, framed too academic a
•reech. It had no punch—no po
litical headline.
RMstake on his western trip. Ray
Me ley. whom some seeond-guessers
have placed on the has-been list,
hat been slipping in and out of the
White House one day a week lately.
The original “brain truster" has a
forceful style and a gift for striking
phiases. He touched up some of the
president’s best notes and speeches
in thg early days You will see his;
finn imprint on the Boulder Dam
anr San Diego talks.
The hurry call for Mr. Moley has
at other meaning for insiders. He is
i keen for cooperation with business
and stressing recovery He may sell
the idea to the president yet.
• • •
Watching—The NR A researcher*
report on “chiselling” hasn't lea
democratic members of congress to
throw their hats In the air for the
new legislation demanded by the
piesident. The leaders promised »o
ghe him what he wanta at the next
serston, but that’s & long way oft
and many things may happen.
Although the fact-finding experts
reported more than 10000 examples
of wage, hour and price reductions
ti e figure did not Impress legisla
tor? who examined them closely.
They noted that most of the vio
lations took place in trades and
industries where comn;iance with
XUA regulations was wily nominal
tven In Blue Eagle days.
Kow the major industries behave
wUl determine what congress will
do. The July report listed about
1.00 instances of "chiselling” In this
field. They had better watch then:

I.iberal — Another warning that
the president means business in de
manding strict regulation of lndus
i try pased almost unnoticed. He has
quietly revamped the Federal Trade
commission so that he has a ma
jority which sympathizes with his
ideas. Although the law definitely
restricts that body's authority the
“right” kind of men can swing a
fairly big stick.
The president has reappointed
Member March, whose political
sponsor Is Farmer—Laborite Ship
stead of Minnesota. He has filled
an existing vacancy with L. E. Freer
of Ohio. Although unknown to the
trade. Mr. Freer endeared himself to
“Joe” Eastman, government-owned
railroads apostle, while sefving as
chief of the ICC’s valuation divi
sion. Mr. Eastman recommended
him when Burt Wheeler was looking
around for a lawyer to advtsr the
Interstate Commerce committee.
The Eastman-Wheeler protege did
heavy dutv for the committee dur
ing the consideration of the holding
companies bill. The thought of
government ownership of railroads
does not shock him. His friends call
him a “sound, republican liberal”

CHAPTER XLVI1
JO tripped Baba' gloved Angara
and the two exchanged a swift
understanding glance. Then, while
Jo stood watching, the big sedan
circled over the grass and dlred
recklessly down the road again.
Until the etarted toward the Inn
Jo did not realise how utterly
spent ahe waa. She bad forgotten
roo. that her appearance was noth
ing if not startling. Her hat was
rone and her gold hair was wind
olown. Acroaa one cheek was a
:ruel red mark, and her coat was
ripped In a doxen places.
It was when she entered the do
sorted lobby of the Inn that she
realized her atate. for Pnyton. rout
ing from his dose behind the desk,
turned slightly pale.
“Miss Dsrlen! What—what—"
Words failed him altogether, and
ns rushed from behind the desk as
If to present Jo from collapsing
’here In the lobby. Bnt Jo man
Tged a smile, assuring him that
except for a few minor injuries to
skin and clothes, and a consuming
weariness she waa all ri?ht
“I'd like a room. Mr. Peyton
and—and I'll explain ererything In
the morning.”
Although he was obviously burst
lug with questions. Peyton nodded
and rang for one of the house boys.
“I’ll give you your old room. Miss
Darien.”
When the door bad closed behind
oer Jo tossed herself, fully clothed,
upon the bed. She did not move
from a deep, dreamless sleep until
the room waa warm witk mid
morning sun.

SHE might ha?a slept even beyond
that hour had not Peyton tele
phoned to Inquire in a worried
voice il she «u quite all right

“You see. Mr. Marsh ordered the
place closed for the season and
we’re short handed. But 1 can
bring the tray ep myself. If you
like”
‘Til be down In half an hoar,
thanks,” Jo told him. “Hare all
the guests gone? I didn't Imagine
Mr. Marsh would be dosing the
Inn so early.”
”It teas rather sodden * confessed
Peyton. Then, in answer to ner

-Oh . . . thank yon." Jo aald
dubloualy. not aura ahe wanted to
aae the insistent Todd Barston aft
er the awift chain of events sbe’d
experienced in the paat law daya
Her drat thought waa tor a show
er. and In the long mirror of the
bathroom she discovered that her
injuries ware somewhat more ap
parent than real. She felt as (It as
usual, but her legs and arms were
dotted with black and blue marks
and scratches. "I’d batter not wear
short ale*' we today." she thought
—and then recalled with chagrin
that she bad neither a short
sleeved frock nor one with long
sleeveu Her luggage was presum
ably at the airport twbere she had
dropped it. and even her bag with
handkerchiefs and compact was
somewhere along the road.
Then she had a sudden thought
This was her old room, ard per
haps—
It was improbable, but worth In
vestlgatlng. Almost holding her
breath, she wrapped a towel around
her and went to the closet There.
Just where »he had left them, were
the clothes she had purchased at
Lytsen’s for her Job aa hostess at
Crest Lake Inn!
“I suppose I shouldn't." Jo told
berself. “tint—I’m going to!" Hur
rledly she selected a complete
change from stockings to sports
Jacket Minus her compact she
bad to omit powder and rouge, but
she thanked her stars for a good
complexion and a healthy circula
tion.
Barston bad come In from the
veranda, and had evidently learned
from Peyton that Jo was expected
down. The aviator was pacing
from the fireplace to the deek and
back again. When be saw Jo on
the stairway he ran to meet her.
"Jo! . . . You’ve no idea how
glad I am to see you again!" He
took both her bands and surveyed
her up and down. "And you’re as
lovely as ever."
Jo laugbed. "Thank yon. Mr.
Barston! You’re still doing very
well!"
"And before breakfast toa I’ve
been down here practically starv

“1 mean everything I’ve said. Jo.
1 mean it so much that I want you

at Jo searchingly. "This isn’t sud

He paused again, hunted nervous
ly for a clgaret "Of course." he
went on, “if you’re serious about
Fragonet, then I’m out of order."
"I’m not serious about Fragonet."
Jo told him.
His face lighted. "Then I’m not
out of order?"
“Well, yob see, I—* Jo hesttat

“That’s good news, too," Barston
told her. "I was afraid you might

“Rutiled out?" asked Jo slowly.

Jo shook her bead. "Not In the

tell me about your new contract?"
B* ret on sighed, recognising Jo’s
effort to draw him from bis orig

her directly, but asked a question
of his own. 'Then It’s *no’?"

"You—you or* In love with

Jo reddened. "It’s not that Yon

"You are. though. Jo. Why In
the devil don’t you tell him? He’s

told me himself he’d been a fool
