wonderful personality across the foot

different type of act, and it's mighty
good. A little comedy drama, with a
strain that harmonizes well with the
approaching sentiment of Mothers

strikes the only discordant note in the

not as badly as it did on previous oc-

With half the necessary amount $40

day that Brownsville list will remain open
several days long in order that additional
contributions may be had. Contributions
received renewed impetus today, but the
amount needed j. still long WAYS from
being subscribed and the committee de
sires that no one who has not subscribed
shall be denied the privilege of coniribut-
ing.
Chairman E. A. McGary of the Red
Cros committee will be at the Brownsville
Bank & Trust Co. until $50 tonight TO re-
ceive subscriptions.
personal and almost house to house
campaign was started today through sew
eral committees of ladies, who volunteered
to offer services in order that Browns
ville's and Cameron county's contribution
may reach the proportion of that of other
counties of similar size and population.
This step was made necessary also by the
fact that a large number of persons and
firms who were assessed by the commit
tee cut their assessments in half and Ia
some eases more. The total amount of the
assessments was about $4,000. and a
large amount of those assessed so far have
failed to respond.
Members Of the fund committee, which
includes +. A. McGary, chairman; W. G.
Whitman, W. III. Putegnat, John Gregg,
Louis Cobolini, c. III. More and James A.
Browne, called attention today to the fact
that the fund is open TO contributions not
only from Brownsville but from other parts
of the county. As the county seat, and
the home of Red Cros chapter this city
was made the central point for the collec-
ton of its allotment of $4,000. Promi-
nent citizens of San Benito, Harlingen,
Lyford and other communities in the coun-
ty, probably will be called upon 10 lend
their assistance 10 raising the fund. No
effort is being made in any other part Of
