New York. May 7.-One would have
thought that women would have had
enough of navy blue last year. when
the blue serge dress was so univer-
sally worn. TO be sure it is not the
blue serge dress. for there are SO far
few Of these dresses seen. Instead
women are showing fondness for the
blue suit or the serge cape.
The artist has sketched a blue serge
cape which seemed very attractive to
me. The coat front makes this cape
quite distinctive as well as giving it
added warmth. This coat front is
held at the waist line by narrow
belt. which is buttoned and held snug
ly to the figure. The cape extends
only to the front on each side Of the
neck line. and is trimmed from shoul-
der line to about the elbows with
rows of black silk braid. Each row
of braid is decorated at the front
edges with a button. The collar Is
Of the scarf variety and finishes at
either end with a black silk tassel.
The small hat is made of rolls OF
horse-hair braid and bands Of taffeta.
An ostrich feather Of jade green trims
the hat at the back.

CONTRACT LABORERS
COMING OVER RIVER
IN LARGE NUMBERS

The stream of contract laborers
coming over the Rio Grande at this
point shows little sign of decreasing.
The first of the week large number
whose homes are in San Luis Potosi,
crossed the river at this port, and
went up state to work in the cotton
fields. One man in the party who
could talk good English stated that
industrial conditions in the central
part Of Mexico were such that it was
becoming almost impossible for the
poorer classes to exist. Other large
parties from the vicinity of Monter-
rey and western Tamaulipas have
passed through here, most of them
going to the cotton fields in the vi
entities of Bishop, Robstown and Bay
City.
One gang of contract laborers who
had been employed on a large ranch
near Rio Grande City became dis
satisfied and arrived here the first Of
the week to be deported. They were
prevailed upon, however, to accept
other jobs, and left for some point
up the railroad.

325, 900 ACRES OF
LAND LEASED BY A
BIG OIL COMPANY

One of the biggest oil land deals
ever made on the Gulf Coast was
completed recently when the Guffey
Oil Company Of Pittsburgh, Pa, one
of the "old line" oil companies, clos
ed lease for $4,000 acres in the
vicinity of Kingsville. The company
secured these lands upon the recon-
mendations of experts, and expect to
start drilling at once. Most of the
lands acquired by the company lie
east and south of Kingsville, the
tract running to the bay at Riviera
Beach. This is one Of the old, con-
servative wealthy companies, and the
fact that they have secured such
large holdings in that section signi-
fly that they are practically assured
of big strike.
Representatives of the company
were in Brownsville the first of the
week, and spent a few hours exam
ining some of the lands in this vicin-
ity. 1t is understood they expect to
return in short time and make q
more exhaustive survey Of the oil
possibilities in this part of the coastal
plain.

SERVICE CAR PUT

with the passenger train arriving ut

day by the Brownsville Herald.
George J. Head operating the car
and acting as manager.
This will give the patrons of the
Herald on the branch line excellent
service, bringing them the news Of
the day within a few hours after
the paper is off the press, and also
giving the towns of that portion Of
the Valley car service for passen-
ger and packages which will always
be prompt and satisfactory. A reg
ular schedule has been arranged.
and every effort VIII be made to
keep the car running as close to
schedule as possible.
The new train schedule on the
branch line has made it impossible
for the Herald to reach its readers
in the towns along the branch line
until late in the evening, and as the
Herald has many patrons in that
part of the Valley it was deemed
necessary to put on the service car
in order that they may receive their
papers promptly. 1t is an expensive
proposition for the Herald, but the
management feels assured it will be
appreciated by the people along the
branch line.
