BROWNSVILLE PROBLEM.
Mayor Hooper of Rockpart to Meet
the business Men.

San Antonio Express, Jan. %.
Il. 81. Aubrey, president Of the
Business Mems Club, Yesterday re-
ceived a telegram from Mayor
Hooper of Rockport, saying he
would arrive in San Antonio at
O'Clock today and asking that 3
conference with fine wholesale mer-
chants be arrenged for later hour
Of the afternoon. The object of
the meeting is to see what can be
done toward taking advantage OF
the Brownsville trade.
The club at once began making
arrangements for the conference
and Mr.. Aubrey said last evening
that everything was in shape for a
rousing meeting. The club has
the promise of Major Thompson,
chief qusrtsrmester at Fort Sam
Houston, that he will be present.
The qnartermastor's department
sends vast amount of material
and supplies to Brownsville every
month. The officials are naturEl-
ly interested in the cheapest and
most expeditions route to that
point.
As the Rockport people are will
ing to assume all the risks of water
transportation, it believed that
the local wholesale men will show
the proper interest in the enter
prise and will have a full repre-
sentatiOn at the conference. The
details OF the proposition that
Mayor Hooper will submit are not
known here, but it is understood
that he has authority to represent
his people in this matter. The
conference will be held at the
rooms Of The Bushes Mems Club
at D o'clock this afternoon.

POINTERS FOR
THE KITCHEN

A Good way to improve ham
after it is boiled is to wrap it in
buttered paper and bake it for an
hOur. 1t adds greatly to the
flavor.
If your wish to improve your
coffee just. before you take it from
the range, drop in a pinch of salt.
The next time you bake your
beans add half a teaspoonfuI of
mustard and see how you like it.
In making soup of split peas,
have you ever used salt pork, just
a bit, ard a small onion. Some
epieures prefer it to this proverbial
haInbone, and it is easier to get.
In serving black bean soup rub
the yolkS Of two hard boiled eggs
through sieve and sprinkle them
thickly on top of the soup. The
black and gold look very pretty.
On whitc all soup-miIk. potato,
turnip, clam or 0yster-place, just
before serving, on the top Of the
soup in each plate, tablespoonful
of whipped cream. 1t gives great
delicacy.

the allied army is at the gates of

welcome there is for the rescuers in
that hard-presscd legation where min

Against fanatical hosts sWarming out
cry Of the government that was bound
to protect them, they have fought for
their lives day and night for weeks
while the provisions Were vanishing

So desperate was their plight known to
be that several times the world has
given them up for dead, and their
safety will not be taken for granted
until they are all under the flags Of

and friendly hearts around them.
The relief has seemed slow but it has
been n stupendous undertaking. Now
that the allied army is near the city,
the suspense is greater than ever
What if an attack on the city should
precipitate the massacre of the lega-
